"Xuan."
"It's been so long since we've been in the dining room together."
"Last night, you took the lead. Today, let me be the one."
With that, Su Hua rose onto her tiptoes, cupped Lin Xuan's face in her hands, and pressed her crimson lips to his. She teased his mouth, stealing his breath with reckless abandon.
Her lips trailed downward from his mouth, leaving a trail of kisses along his chin and throat…
Lin Xuan's breathing grew heavy.
Hua Bao's seductive skills were downright lethal.
Their once-neat clothes were now in disarray.
At some point, Lin Xuan had settled into a chair, with Su Hua straddling his lap.
Beads of sweat glistened on their bodies.
Su Hua's eyes were hazy with desire, the corners tinged a faint red.
A mesmerizing allure danced in her gaze, as though she were a bewitching fox spirit.
An hour passed, and Su Hua and Lin Xuan still hadn't emerged from the dining room.
Members of the Golden Dragon Gang exchanged puzzled glances.
"What's going on? Why has the boss and his girlfriend been in there so long?"
"A man and a woman alone together… I have a feeling they're up to something indecent. That kind of thing tends to take a while."
"No way. Our boss is so proper—he doesn’t seem like the type to give in to desire. There’s no way he’d do something like that in the dining room."
"I agree. That kind of activity wouldn’t last an hour anyway."
As they debated, the dining room door swung open with a sharp click.
Lin Xuan stepped out, carrying Su Hua in his arms like a princess.
Their clothes were now properly arranged, but their slightly damp hair betrayed the sweat they’d worked up.
In an air-conditioned dining room, sweating that much could only mean one thing.
Boom!
The Golden Dragon Gang members erupted in chatter.
"Holy hell, they really did it in there…"
"Damn, women are poison. Look what she’s done to our boss—he’s usually so disciplined!"
"Then again, the boss’s girlfriend is stunning, with a killer figure. If she set her sights on any man, who could resist?"
The women who secretly admired Lin Xuan burned with envy.
If only the boss were less devoted…
Then they might have a chance to climb into his bed.
But his heart belonged to one woman alone.
And that woman was ruthless. Liang Xiaoxia had merely tried—and failed—to seduce him by dressing provocatively, yet Su Hua had made her suffer unimaginably.
If any of them dared make a move on the boss, they’d end up even worse than Liang Xiaoxia.

Upstairs, in the bedroom.
Lin Xuan placed Su Hua into the bathtub.
"Hua Bao, I’ll go grab some clothes for you."
As he turned to leave, Su Hua seized his wrist. With a splash, Lin Xuan tumbled into the tub.
His lips landed squarely on hers.
"Hua Bao…"
Lin Xuan tried to pull away.
If this continued, his kidneys might just pack up and leave.
But Su Hua refused to let him go.
The sound of their kisses mingled with the water, echoing loudly in the spacious bathroom.
The air thickened with desire.
Five minutes later, Su Hua finally broke the kiss, breathing lightly.
"Hua Bao, we can’t keep going. You need to rest and recover so you can get treatment," Lin Xuan insisted.
Lately, this excuse had worked like a charm.
Before the negotiations with the Golden Dragon Gang and Night Rose, it had never failed him.
But after being apart for days, Hua Bao had ignored his warnings last night.
And earlier, in the dining room… she’d lured him against the wall, then onto the table… ahem...
"Hua Bao, be good. Don’t you want to get better? Rest properly so the doctor I contacted can treat you sooner." He put on a stern face.
Su Hua reached up, slowly undoing the buttons of his shirt.
Her own clothes were soaked through, the white fabric clinging to her curves.
The damp material turned slightly sheer, teasing glimpses of what lay beneath.
Lin Xuan’s throat bobbed.
He averted his gaze, not daring to look any longer.
"Xuan." Su Hua’s lips glistened red in the steam. "I asked the doctor. She said intimacy doesn’t hinder recovery. In fact, it can improve mood and even aid healing."
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Hua Bao had gone out of her way to ask about this?
Any halfway decent doctor would know that.
No wonder she’d been trying so hard to drag him to bed these past few days.
Su Hua arched a delicate brow. "I wonder if that so-called miracle doctor you mentioned is a fraud. How could he not know something so basic?"
Ahem. Lin Xuan coughed, his eyes darting away guiltily. "Hua Bao, his skills are legit. I must’ve misremembered and given you the wrong info."
"Before we left for the business trip, you turned me down so many times."
"Since it was your mistake… shouldn’t you make it up to me?" She tapped his nose playfully.
"And if intimacy helps my recovery… shouldn’t you put in some effort to speed things along?"
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly.
There was no escaping today.
And he was at fault.
"Now that you don’t have to play the monk anymore… are you happy, Xuan?" Su Hua teased, her lips curving.
"Mm." Lin Xuan forced a smile. "Very happy."
"Then, Xuan… shall we continue?" Her lips brushed his ear as she whispered, her breath warm.
"Okay."
He moved to kiss her, but Su Hua pressed a finger to his lips.
"Not so fast."
Taking his hand, she guided it to the tie at her waist.
"Take this off."
She loved the feeling of skin against skin.
No barriers between them…
Lin Xuan untied the sash.
Her robe fell open, revealing her breathtaking form.
Su Hua wrapped her arms around him.
Desire burned in her eyes.
"Xuan… let’s begin."
The bathroom filled with the sound of splashing water.
Steam swirled, obscuring all but the faint silhouettes of two figures in the tub.

Wang Ba had secured the plane tickets as Lin Xuan requested.
He called to report.
Meanwhile…
Su Hua and Lin Xuan had relocated their battle to the bed.
This time, Su Hua was on top.
The phone rang.
Lin Xuan reached to hang up.
This was definitely not a good time to answer the phone.
