The Calm Before the Storm

Some snakes were crushed to death by her, while more snakes, catching the scent of flesh and blood, began frantically crawling onto Xu Hui's body.

These snakes hadn't eaten for four days and were ravenous with hunger.

In no time, Xu Hui's entire body was tightly wrapped by the snakes.

Xu Hui felt something slippery and slimy enveloping her.

The sensation made her nauseous and terrified.

Their sharp teeth pierced Xu Hui's skin.

"Ahhhh—"

Xu Hui struggled with both her hands and feet, trying to pull the snakes off her body.

But it was utterly useless!

The moment she tore one snake away, another would immediately bite into the spot just vacated.

Lying in the pit of ten thousand snakes, despair filled Xu Hui's eyes.

Jiang Qing glanced into the snake pit.

Looking at Xu Hui lying among the snakes, her whole body entwined, with only her head visible.

She shook her head.

Who couldn't you seduce, but you had to go after Young Master Lin?

Isn't that just asking for death?

Seeing so many snakes, Jiang Qing felt a bit afraid.

She quickly averted her gaze and instructed, "After she dies, fish her out, then cut off her head and bring it to me."

"Yes," the member guarding the pit of ten thousand snakes replied respectfully.

Jiang Qing left to handle the affairs of the Night Rose.

Meanwhile, ten minutes later, Su Hua also returned to the Golden Dragon Gang.

"Miss Su."

"Miss Su."

The members of the Golden Dragon Gang all greeted Su Hua respectfully one after another.

Su Hua inquired, "Where's Xuan?"

Wang Ba answered respectfully, "Mr. Lin is currently cooking in our hotel's kitchen. He said he wants to personally make a meal for you, Miss Su."

As he said this, Wang Ba swallowed his saliva.

Their boss's culinary skills were truly exceptional.

After eating a meal prepared by their boss once, he couldn't forget it.

It's a pity; the opportunities to eat a meal made by the boss were really few and far between.

"Miss Su," Wang Ba said with a smile, "Mr. Lin treats you so well. You can tell he loves you very much."

"Mmm." The corners of Su Hua's lips lifted slightly.

Xuan really liked her a lot now and treated her very, very well.

Su Hua walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant and kitchen were separated by a transparent glass door. Sitting in the restaurant, one could clearly see the person in the kitchen.

Su Hua sat at the dining table, her gaze following Lin Xuan's busy figure as he moved.

Lin Xuan also sensed a rather invasive gaze fixed on him.

Puzzled, he turned around and then saw Su Hua, who was looking at him with a beaming smile.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was Hua.

He had thought it was some other woman who fancied him.

Thank goodness.

Lin Xuan turned back and continued busying himself in the kitchen.

Half an hour later.

Lin Xuan finished preparing all the dishes.

"Hua."

He brought out all the plates of food one by one and placed them on the dining table.

The Golden Dragon Gang members serving in the restaurant were sniffing the air frantically.

It smelled so good.

They really wanted to taste the food made by the boss.

Wang Ba was also staring at the array of dishes on the table.

He hoped Young Master Lin and President Su wouldn't finish all the food.

After they left, he might still get to eat some leftovers.

Noticing Wang Ba's gaze, Lin Xuan spoke up, "Manager Wang, I made quite a lot of food today. Would you like to join us for the meal?"

"No, no need," Wang Ba shook his head vigorously.

Although he really wanted to, he'd better not.

Eating with President Su and Young Master Lin, he would definitely be fed dog food.

Watching them being all lovey-dovey, he'd lose his appetite completely.

Sitting at the same table with them, he'd rather just eat some leftovers.

"Alright then, if you don't want to, that's fine."

Lin Xuan didn't press further. He looked at Su Hua: "Hua, these are all your favorites."

These days, even though the Golden Dragon Gang members had heard Lin Xuan call Su Hua 'Hua' many times, hearing it again still felt surreal and shocking to them.

They mainly felt that a formidable woman like their boss's girlfriend really didn't suit the endearment 'Bao'...

Su Hua raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did Xuan suddenly make so many delicious things for me today?"

Lin Xuan coughed.

He couldn't very well say that a man's sixth sense made him feel something bad might happen today.

Better safe than sorry.

Making a meal in advance, if Hua was happy, maybe he could avoid a calamity.

"Hua, don't overthink it. I'm your boyfriend. Isn't it perfectly normal for a boyfriend to cook a meal for his girlfriend?" Lin Xuan said with a straight face.

"Oh?" Su Hua raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

"Hua, let's eat," Lin Xuan changed the subject, putting food into Su Hua's bowl. "The food won't taste as good once it gets cold."

Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan's handsome face.

A shadow of darkness flickered in her eyes.

Xuan was really coveted by far too many women.

Just within the Golden Dragon Gang alone, there were two women who had tried to snatch Xuan away using schemes.

And there were many more women who harbored covetous thoughts about Xuan.

She really, really wanted to lock Xuan up.

That way, other women wouldn't be able to see Xuan's wonderful qualities.

And Xuan would have only her, this one woman, by his side...

Su Hua gazed at Lin Xuan, lost in thought.

Lin Xuan noticed Su Hua's stare and frowned. "Hua, what's wrong?"

Su Hua reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan's neck.

"Xuan, you can only like me, one woman. Your body, your heart, they can only belong to me, understand?" Su Hua declared domineeringly.

"Mmm, every part of me is yours," Lin Xuan said compliantly.

He frowned tightly.

Why would Hua suddenly say something like this out of the blue?

Could it be that something really happened during the time Hua left the Golden Dragon Gang earlier?

"Hua, when you went out to discuss that cooperation earlier, nothing happened, right?" Lin Xuan tentatively inquired.

"No," Su Hua shook her head. "Is there a problem?" Su Hua asked, feigning confusion.

"No," Lin Xuan said. "I was just asking casually."

"Hua, let's eat."

Su Hua's beautiful brows lifted slightly. "Doesn't Xuan plan to feed me?"

"I'll feed you!" Lin Xuan nodded.

Since Hua had given the order, he must feed her!

Su Hua sat on Lin Xuan's lap.

Lin Xuan began his feeding mode for Su Hua.

Their sweet, intimate scene fell into Wang Ba's view.

Wang Ba breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing he had the foresight, resisted his craving for the food, and didn't agree to eat with the boss.

Otherwise, he would have already lost his appetite from all the dog food.

Before, he hadn't witnessed their interactions firsthand, only heard from Cheng Da and Cheng Er about how affectionate they were.

And heard all sorts of lovey-dovey talk from their boss.

After spending these days with them, he had to admit, President Su and their boss's relationship was exceptionally, exceptionally good.

At first, he was afraid President Su was just toying with the boss.

Now it seemed his worry was completely unnecessary.
