Huo Shen continued, "However, Young Master Lin."
Huo Shen stepped closer to Lin Xuan, lowering his voice as he spoke, "No matter how strong a relationship is, it can still fall apart one day. Young Master Lin, you should cherish what you have with Hua'er while it lasts."
Because he would tear them apart and take Hua'er for himself.
He just hadn’t found the right moment yet. When he struck, it would be decisive.
Lin Xuan smiled and replied, "You don’t need to worry. I will. The bond between Hua’er and me won’t allow a third person to interfere."
Huo Shen scoffed.
Lin Xuan, oh Lin Xuan, don’t speak so confidently.
"President Huo, I’ll go find Hua’er now. She might be getting impatient."
"By the way, ‘Hua’er’ isn’t a name you should be using. Boss Su has made it clear—you should address her as ‘Boss Su.’"
Lin Xuan stepped into the private elevator reserved for executives.
Huo Shen watched Lin Xuan’s retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly.
Lin Xuan! Don’t get too smug yet!
The employees whispered among themselves.
"What’s going on? I think I just smelled gunpowder in the air."
"You’re not wrong. A current boyfriend and a man secretly in love with Boss Su—of course there’d be tension. But Young Master Lin probably doesn’t even see Huo Shen as a threat. There’s no need—Boss Su only has eyes for Young Master Lin. Other men don’t even register."
"You’re right. If President Huo dares to compete with Young Master Lin for Boss Su, he’s just overestimating himself."
None of the employees had any faith in Huo Shen.
Boss Su and Young Master Lin were deeply in love.
And whether it was looks, capability, or wealth, Huo Shen couldn’t compare to Young Master Lin in any aspect.
Most importantly, Young Master Lin could calm Boss Su’s temper!
They absolutely would not allow anyone to break Boss Su and Young Master Lin apart.
"Do you think President Huo might use underhanded methods to steal Boss Su away?" one employee asked quietly.
"Impossible. No matter what tricks he tries, it won’t work," another replied firmly.
The relationship between Boss Su and Young Master Lin wasn’t something just anyone could destroy.
The employee sneered, "If President Huo dares to scheme against Young Master Lin, not only will Boss Su protect her man, but given Young Master Lin’s own methods, Huo Shen would be digging his own grave."
"That’s true."
The employees shuddered at the thought of what had happened to Starlight Group.
Young Master Lin had the means, the money, and the connections—Huo Shen couldn’t touch him.
Huo Shen faintly overheard the murmurs about how he could never be with Su Hua.
He sneered inwardly.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Besides, he and Hua'er had grown up together, and Old Master Su favored him.
Who said he couldn’t take Hua'er for himself?
"What are you all staring at?" Huo Shen’s cold gaze swept over the employees. "Not working? Did the company hire you just to laze around?"
The employees fell silent, afraid he might retaliate against them later.
They obediently returned to their tasks.
"Hmph." Huo Shen smirked.
So they thought he couldn’t be with Hua'er?
Fine. He’d prove them wrong.
He’d make sure to remember every single person who opposed him.
Once he married Hua'er, he’d fire every last one of them!
Meanwhile.
Lin Xuan entered the CEO’s office.
The assistants working outside immediately stood up.
"Young Master Lin." Their tone and demeanor were full of respect.
This was the future husband of their boss—they had to show proper deference.
Young Master Lin was a golden goose. Offending him was out of the question.
"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded.
"Is Hua'er here?" he asked.
"Young Master Lin, Boss Su is still in a meeting," one assistant replied respectfully.
Lin Xuan checked the time.
"Should I inform Boss Su that you’ve arrived?" the assistant offered.
"No need." Lin Xuan shook his head.
It was only 11:30 AM. Su Corporation’s lunch break started at 12:40.
Just ten more minutes.
Lin Xuan decided to wait in the office for Su Hua.
He pulled out his phone and browsed the latest drama surrounding Lin Li.
"Tsk—" Lin Xuan chuckled under his breath.
Lin Li really never learned. To think he’d dare scheme against him again.
Well, he’d have to return the favor.
He’d make sure Lin Li’s own trap backfired spectacularly.
Lin Xuan scrolled through the comments, thoroughly entertained.
One user posted: "I have the video of Lin Li with those two men. Anyone who wants to see it, I’ll send it for free."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Come to think of it, he’d never actually seen a video of two men doing… that.
Let alone one involving a eunuch and two men under the influence of aphrodisiacs.
His curiosity was piqued.
Cheng Da had given him a brief description of the incident, but words couldn’t compare to the real thing.
Lin Xuan had initially considered asking Cheng Er for the video.
But he’d already said he wouldn’t watch it. Going back on his word now would be embarrassing.
So instead, he privately messaged the user on Weibo.
[Hello, I’d like to see Lin Li’s video.]
The reply came instantly. [Sure thing! Sending it now.]
Two seconds later, a link popped up.
Lin Xuan clicked it and watched intently.
He couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
The aphrodisiac Lin Li had chosen was strong. Those two men were so desperate they’d dragged him to the floor immediately.
Admittedly, the footage was graphic—borderline nauseating—but undeniably thrilling.
Lin Xuan watched with fascination as Lin Li’s face twisted in agony.
Meanwhile, in Su Corporation’s meeting room.
Su Hua kept glancing at the clock throughout the meeting.
For the first time, time seemed to crawl.
Had A-Xuan finished cooking yet?
Or was he already on his way?
Her mind was clearly elsewhere.
The executives exchanged puzzled whispers.
"What’s going on? Boss Su seems distracted. Did something happen?"
"Relax. Nothing’s wrong. Remember when our company was on the brink of collapse? Boss Su didn’t even flinch. The only person who can affect her like this is—"
"Young Master Lin?"
"Exactly. My guess? She’s missing him."
That made sense.
Boss Su was probably just thinking about Young Master Lin.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
