Old Master Su, being a man of experience, instantly understood what was going on.
A knowing smile spread across his face. "Good, good. Since they're tired, let them sleep in. I’m in no hurry to see them."
It seemed the young couple had been busy last night trying for a baby.
Excellent.
The more time they spent together, the higher the chances of Hua'er getting pregnant.
Old Master Su continued sipping his porridge.
After breakfast, he settled on the sofa, put on his sunglasses, and picked up a newspaper.
By ten o'clock, Lin Xuan finally woke up.
Su Hua had been awake for a while but hadn’t gotten up. Instead, she lay on her side, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Xuan.
The moment he opened his eyes, her stunning face filled his vision.
Even though Lin Xuan was used to Su Hua’s beauty, he was still captivated by her every time.
Hua must have fallen for him back on the island.
Back then, he had nothing to offer—yet she had still chosen him…
As soon as Su Hua saw Lin Xuan wake up, she rolled over and pinned him down beneath her.
Still groggy from sleep, Lin Xuan felt the soft press of her lips against his.
The room was silent except for the sound of their kiss.
The air thickened with intimacy.
Three minutes later, Su Hua pulled away, resting her forehead against his, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Xuan, that’s your good morning kiss."
"Hua, I’m starving. Let’s go eat breakfast first."
Lin Xuan scrambled out of bed and hurried into the bathroom to wash up.
He was desperate to avoid Su Hua taking things further. They said men woke up with strong desires—but women were no exception.
He’d learned that the hard way before.
After being thoroughly exhausted last night, he couldn’t handle another round this morning.
By the time Lin Xuan finished washing up and stepped out of the bathroom, Su Hua was still lounging on the bed.
He walked over. "Hua, aren’t you going to freshen up?"
Su Hua wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. "Xuan, my arms and legs are weak, and I’m still sore. Will you help me wash up?"
Her voice dripped with sweetness, a clear attempt at coaxing him.
Images from last night flashed through Lin Xuan’s mind. He averted his gaze from her hands and lips, feeling slightly flustered.
"Alright, I’ll carry you."
He scooped her up in his arms.
A triumphant gleam flickered in Su Hua’s eyes.
After helping her freshen up, Lin Xuan dutifully carried her downstairs.
Su Hua’s neck bore several telltale red marks.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had a small cut on the corner of his mouth—clearly from someone’s teeth.
The servants exchanged knowing glances at the sight of them.
The young mistress and Master Lin were so affectionate.
They’d stayed up late last night… and things had clearly gotten intense.
Lin Xuan noticed their looks but wasn’t fazed. After a year of this, he was used to it.
Old Master Su heard footsteps descending the stairs and set down his newspaper.
His eyes lit up when he saw the couple.
Excellent.
If Hua’er wanted a child, given how things were between them, she’d probably conceive soon.
"Little Xuan, Hua’er, you must be hungry. Go ahead and eat."
Lin Xuan froze.
Damn it!
Old Master Su!
He’d completely forgotten—the old man had stayed overnight at the estate!
And now, here they were, looking like this…
Under Old Master Su’s amused and scrutinizing gaze, Lin Xuan nearly dropped Su Hua in shock. Thankfully, he caught himself in time.
Su Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Grandfather was still here…
"Old Master Su, Hua and I will go eat first."
Without waiting for a response, Lin Xuan hurried toward the dining room, his steps slightly unsteady.
Old Master Su chuckled and shook his head. "Look at Little Xuan—still so shy."
The butler from the main residence remarked, "It’s only natural for a young man to be embarrassed when caught like this by his elders."
"Master…"
The butler hesitated.
Butler Wang set down his newspaper. "Speak your mind."
"Master, don’t you think staying here makes you a rather glaring third wheel?"
Old Master Su nodded. "True. But since Hua’er isn’t planning for a child yet, I might as well enjoy the free meals."
In the dining room, Lin Xuan placed Su Hua on a chair.
As he straightened up, she kept one arm looped around his neck. "Xuan, were you embarrassed in front of Grandfather just now?"
Lin Xuan denied it instantly. "No, why would I be?"
Of course, he had been—being seen like that by an elder was mortifying.
But admitting it?
Absolutely not.
"Is that so?"
Su Hua’s eyes shimmered with amusement, though whether she believed him was unclear.
"Hua, your stomach isn’t great. You should eat."
Lin Xuan deftly changed the subject, placing a steamed bun in her bowl.
Su Hua didn’t move, just kept watching him.
Then she rubbed her wrist pointedly.
Lin Xuan caught on immediately.
"Hua, let me feed you."
And so, he resumed his usual role—doting on her.
After breakfast, Su Hua spoke up. "Xuan, let’s go back to our room."
With Old Master Su in the living room, Lin Xuan would inevitably get caught up in conversation, leaving her sidelined.
She didn’t want to share him.
"Hua, Old Master Su is here. We should spend some time with him," Lin Xuan reasoned.
Truthfully, they rarely visited the main residence.
Ignoring the old man entirely might give him the wrong impression.
Su Hua pressed her lips together but said nothing.
Lin Xuan carried her to the living room and set her down on the sofa.
Old Master Su noticed her sour expression immediately.
A pang of bitterness struck him.
Hua’er really had no room for him now that she had Lin Xuan.
Ah, daughters truly grew up and left their families behind.
Old Master Su didn’t want to intrude, but he was bored and needed company.
Since Su Hua was clearly in no mood to chat, he turned his attention back to Lin Xuan.
The two fell into easy conversation.
Su Hua’s expression darkened further as she watched them.
During Old Master Su’s stay, he often pulled Lin Xuan aside to talk.
Whenever Su Hua wasn’t around, the old man would share stories about her childhood.
Lin Xuan loved hearing about Su Hua’s past, but with each tale, his heart ached for her.
Hua had endured so much hardship.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
