After finishing their meal, Su Hua and Lin Xuan sat in the living room watching TV.
Su Hua glanced around the room, raising an eyebrow as she said, "Ah Xuan, the hotel you're staying in is really quite unusual. It seems more like a large villa, and there are quite a few attendants."
Lin Xuan's heart suddenly leaped into his throat.
Why was Hua Bao suddenly bringing this up?
Did she suspect something?
Well, it made sense. After all, this wasn't a hotel. Hua Bao was clever, so it was normal for her to be suspicious.
"Hua Bao." Lin Xuan's mind raced, thinking of a way to respond. "This is indeed a villa. This hotel has quite a few similar villas, and each one can accommodate many guests."
"The villa we're staying in originally had many other guests. But since you were coming, Hua Bao, I spent some money to book the entire villa, so our private time together wouldn't be disturbed."
"I see," Su Hua nodded.
Seeing that Su Hua truly believed him, Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
Once he dealt with the threats around Hua Bao, he could finally step back and be a hands-off boss.
Otherwise, if Hua Bao ever found out he was the leader of the underground organization, the Golden Dragon Gang, she would definitely punish him severely.
Wang Ba looked up at the ceiling.
Boss, don't you know that all your disguises have been seen through by Miss Su?
For some reason, he always had a feeling that Miss Su was also hiding her true identity from the boss.
As for what that identity was, he didn't know the specifics.
"Hua Bao, let's watch TV."
Lin Xuan started a movie—Ne Zha.
Lin Xuan watched the TV very intently.
Su Hua, meanwhile, spent the whole time playing with his fingers.
When there were no attendants immediately around them, a glint of light flashed in Su Hua's beautiful eyes.
She reached out her hand...
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
"Ah Xuan, let me help you with that, okay?" Su Hua's red lips brushed against Lin Xuan's ear, her tone extremely suggestive.
Lin Xuan knew he couldn't possibly refuse, so he could only nod.
"Okay," Lin Xuan's voice was slightly hoarse.
Remembering something, he looked around cautiously.
He only saw a few people standing behind them; there was no one else nearby.
Blocked by the back of the sofa, the people behind couldn't see anything.
"Whew—"
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Hua Bao knew how to be discreet, otherwise, as a gang leader, he would have died of embarrassment right there.
"What was Ah Xuan looking at just now?" Su Hua asked, the corner of her lips curled in a smile.
"Ahem, nothing," Lin Xuan said.
"Ah Xuan, don't worry about me letting others see. After all, I don't want outsiders to see what belongs to Ah Xuan," Su Hua said with a smile.
Not even another man.
"Mmm~"
A stifled, unbearable groan escaped Lin Xuan's lips.
The Golden Dragon Gang members behind the sofa frowned.
What was that sound just now?
Su Hua, her eyes smiling, whispered in a voice only for the two of them, "Ah Xuan, remember to hold it in, otherwise the hotel staff might discover what we're doing."
Lin Xuan shot a resentful look at a certain young woman.
Who was the real culprit for him being in this state? You know perfectly well, Hua Bao.
Su Hua had many techniques.
The veins on Lin Xuan's forehead throbbed as he gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to make a single sound.
In the end...
Su Hua wiped her fingers with a tissue, and then, right in front of Lin Xuan, she put her fingers into her own mouth.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Seeing the expression on Lin Xuan's face, a hint of amusement flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
She tossed the tissue into the trash can, then brought her red lips back to Lin Xuan's ear.
"Ah Xuan's taste is quite nice. I like it."
Lin Xuan's ears turned slightly red.
Where on earth did Hua Bao learn so many seductive methods...
Thankfully, he had strong self-control, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to hold back.
A member of the Golden Dragon Gang rushed in.
He looked very anxious.
"Mr. Lin, please come with me," the Golden Dragon Gang member said respectfully.
Lin Xuan spoke up, "Hua Bao, wait here for a bit. I need to go handle something."
"Alright."
Su Hua nodded.
Lin Xuan took his subordinate aside.
"Speak. What is it?" Lin Xuan asked.
The subordinate answered respectfully, "Boss, someone from Night Rose has come. She says she has a gift for you and your girlfriend."
"What gift?" Lin Xuan's brow furrowed tightly.
His intuition told him it was nothing good.
"I'm not sure about that either," the subordinate shook his head. "I asked her what it was, but she wouldn't say. She insists on delivering it to you and your girlfriend in person."
"In that case, just ignore her. Send her away," Lin Xuan ordered.
Both he and Night Rose operated in the underworld.
Whatever Night Rose was sending was undoubtedly related to the underworld. He couldn't let Hua Bao see that.
"Since it's a gift for my Ah Xuan, then bring her in," Su Hua said as she walked over to Lin Xuan's side.
Lin Xuan's heart leaped again.
"Hua Bao, why did you come over? I asked you to wait for me."
Su Hua said with a smile, "I was thinking I want to stick with Ah Xuan all the time, so I came over."
Lin Xuan asked nervously, "Hua Bao, what did you hear just now?"
"I only heard that someone is sending a gift for you and me, and they want to open it in front of us. Then you said to send them away," Su Hua replied.
Lin Xuan breathed another sigh of relief.
It seemed Hua Bao hadn't heard the Golden Dragon Gang member call him "Boss," nor had she heard "Night Rose."
Thank goodness.
"I'm actually a bit curious about what this gift is," Su Hua said, stroking her chin with a look of curiosity.
Lin Xuan replied, "Hua Bao, we don't need to bother with this gift. The Black Triangle area has serious underworld activity. It's better not to look at gifts from unknown origins."
"Ah Xuan is so unwilling to let me see this gift..." Su Hua raised her lovely eyebrows. "This wouldn't happen to be from some beauty sending it to you, would it?"
"No, no," Lin Xuan shook his head.
As he denied it, there was a trace of guilt in his voice.
It was indeed from a woman.
And he also always felt that this Night Rose had feelings for him.
"Well then, why don't we have the hotel staff bring the gift over," Su Hua suggested.
"Alright then."
Lin Xuan nodded.
That was the only option now. If he insisted on not seeing what Night Rose sent, Hua Bao would probably start overthinking things again.
Hua Bao was not easy to placate.
Lin Xuan ordered, "Go and bring her in."
"Yes, Mr. Lin," the subordinate withdrew.
While waiting for the Night Rose member to arrive, Lin Xuan was on edge the entire time.
He prayed silently, hoping that whatever Night Rose sent would be... normal.
He absolutely couldn't let Hua Bao notice anything unusual.
The Night Rose member walked in.
She looked at Lin Xuan and frowned.
"You know who I'm looking for. I won't hand over the gift unless I see Mr. Lin in person."
