Lin Xuan's hair was dried, and Su Hua set down the hair dryer.
"Ah Xuan."
Su Hua wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan's neck from behind.
"Are you still feeling... uncomfortable?"
Her teasing gaze drifted downward to a certain part of his body.
Lin Xuan immediately shook his head. "No."
Su Hua's eyes curved with amusement. "Ah Xuan is lying."
"If you're uncomfortable, then as your girlfriend, I should help you relieve it."
She pushed him back onto the bed again.
Guiding his hand to the sash of her black silk robe, she whispered, "Ah Xuan, untie it for me, okay?"
Her voice was soft, laced with temptation.
The faint flush at the corners of her eyes made her look like a seductive enchantress—one glance from her was enough to ensnare his soul.
"Okay." Lin Xuan nodded dazedly.
His fingers fumbled at her waist until they found the bow. With a gentle tug, the sash loosened, and the robe slipped open, revealing what lay beneath.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Here it comes.
No wonder he'd felt something was off earlier in the bathroom—she had been planning this all along!
He had to admit, Hua Bao looked irresistible in this.
Gulp.
He could hear the loud sound of his own swallowing.
Every time Hua Bao wore these... provocative outfits, he couldn’t resist.
He was completely defenseless.
The black fabric contrasted sharply with her fair, jade-like skin, making her glow even more alluringly.
Seeing Lin Xuan’s stunned expression, a faint smile flickered in Su Hua’s eyes.
She was grateful for her figure—it kept Ah Xuan utterly captivated.
"These outfits were left over from my birthday celebration at the hotel. I brought them back and even added a few more." She gestured toward the pile of clothes on the sofa.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
That many?!
His kidneys were doomed.
Su Hua slid the black robe off her shoulders, letting it pool at her feet.
Lin Xuan couldn’t tear his eyes away.
She leaned over him again, her voice a sultry murmur. "Ah Xuan, do you like it?"
"Yeah... I like it." He answered honestly.
There was no way he could say no.
"Since you like it, then tonight, you can enjoy it to the fullest. It belongs only to you—only you can touch it."
Lin Xuan could feel his heart pounding violently, each beat strong and rapid.
Su Hua’s crimson lips brushed against his ear as she whispered, "Ah Xuan, be good. Close your eyes."
Obediently, he shut them.
A moment later, he felt a black cloth being tied over his eyes, plunging him into darkness.
With his vision gone, his other senses sharpened.
He frowned, confused.
What was Hua Bao planning now?
Then, he felt her slip off the bed—only to return moments later, holding something.
A metallic click echoed, followed by the cold touch of steel around his wrists.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Damn!
That familiar sensation—handcuffs!
Hua Bao was cuffing him to the bed!
In their past life, she had only locked him away—never restrained him like this.
But ever since he was reborn, she had started using this trick on him.
This was it. His kidneys were absolutely finished tonight.
"Hua Bao... can you let me go first?" Lin Xuan tried negotiating.
Su Hua smirked. "Don’t you think this makes it more exciting?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
Exciting? Sure. But the more creative Hua Bao got, the longer this would last—and the worse it would be for his poor kidneys.
He couldn’t handle it.
"Ah Xuan, just lie still. Leave the rest to me." She traced her fingers over his chest through the fabric before leaning down to kiss him.
Suddenly, a phone rang.
Su Hua frowned and immediately hung up Lin Xuan’s call.
Less than five seconds later, it rang again.
This time, she didn’t hang up.
Glancing at the screen, an idea sparked in her mind, and a sly smile curved her lips.
"Ah Xuan, your subordinate is calling. You should answer."
"Okay."
Lin Xuan agreed.
At least this would give him a breather.
Hopefully, it was something urgent—then he’d have an excuse to leave and spare his kidneys.
Su Hua placed the phone beside the pillow.
But soon, Lin Xuan realized something was wrong.
Hua Bao was—
His breathing grew ragged.
"What is it?" He struggled to keep his voice steady.
On the other end, Lei Hui sensed something off.
"Boss, you sound strange. Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.
He worried his boss might be sick.
The company’s success depended entirely on him—his health couldn’t afford any issues.
"I’m fine. Just get to the point," Lin Xuan said.
Lei Hui frowned.
Was his boss really okay?
Because his voice was sounding even more strained now.
Still, since Lin Xuan insisted, Lei Hui didn’t press further.
He began reporting on Lin Li.
"Boss, you told me to keep an eye on Lin Li. We planted a bug in his hospital room and overheard—"
Mid-sentence, Lei Hui heard Lin Xuan’s labored breathing, laced with suppressed tension.
He paused. "Boss, are you sure you’re okay?"
Lin Xuan had hoped to endure until the report was over.
But Hua Bao—this bewitching little demon—was too skilled.
Lei Hui might be single now, but he was a father. If Lin Xuan lost control, things would get awkward fast.
His veins bulged as he forced his voice to remain calm.
"I’m fine, Uncle Lei. I’ve got something urgent to handle. If it’s important, just text me. I’ll check later."
"Understood."
Lei Hui complied respectfully.
After all, Jiang Shuqin wouldn’t make her move until tomorrow.
The boss could afford to wait.
He hung up, still frowning.
What on earth had just happened to his boss?
He sounded like he was in pain.
But the man was physically strong—surely nothing was wrong.

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?

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
