"Xuan, stay still. I'll help you get rid of that other woman's scent." Su Hua's voice was gentle.
A question popped into Lin Xuan's mind.
Get rid of it?
How is Hua Bao going to do that?
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered the last time Liang Xiaoxia tried to seduce him, when he had accidentally let Liang Xiaoxia touch his hand.
What did Hua Bao do back then?
She had licked the spot where Liang Xiaoxia had touched, over and over again, cleaning it several times before she was satisfied.
Could it be that Hua Bao plans to use the same trick again... this time in the car?
While he was still lost in thought, Su Hua began to act.
Just as he had imagined...
Lin Xuan gripped the car door handle, his face a picture of restraint.
He felt Hua Bao's technique was becoming more and more skilled...
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Lin Xuan's forehead.
The air still carried a lingering, ambiguous scent.
The car had already entered Night Garden when Su Hua nipped Lin Xuan's lip.
"I'll punish you properly when we go to sleep, Xuan."
Lin Xuan: "!!!!"
His kidneys were done for, weren't they?
Good thing he had the foresight to get some extra sleep on the plane.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have the energy to deal with Hua Bao tonight.
Butler Wang knew Su Hua and Lin Xuan were returning home.
He had been waiting at the entrance of Night Garden for a long time.
He waited eagerly.
During this time when the young lady and Young Master Lin were away, he had been utterly bored.
He missed the old days when Young Master Lin would take him along to witness some drama.
Life only became colorful and interesting when Young Master Lin was around.
Butler Wang waited at the entrance for over an hour.
He frowned, muttering to himself.
They should have arrived back at Night Garden long ago at this hour.
Why weren't they here yet?
Could something have happened?
A layer of worry clouded Butler Wang's eyes.
He went to the restroom at one point.
When he came out, a servant hurried over.
"Butler Wang..."
Before she could finish, Butler Wang eagerly asked, "Have the young lady and Young Master Lin returned?"
"Yes," the servant nodded. "They just arrived."
Butler Wang's face lit up with excitement.
Excellent.
The young lady and Young Master Lin were finally, finally back!
He had been hoping against hope, and now he had finally waited for them.
Wonderful, just wonderful.
In the car.
Lin Xuan glanced at Su Hua's red lips. Because of what Hua Bao had just done, his gaze was somewhat uneasy.
"Hua Bao, we're here. Let's get out first." Lin Xuan averted his eyes, not daring to look at Su Hua.
"Mm."
Su Hua got up from the car.
Butler Wang excitedly rushed forward to greet them.
"Young lady, Young Master Lin, you're finally back."
"I missed you both so much."
Butler Wang couldn't help but give Lin Xuan a hug.
"Young Master Lin, you have no idea how bored I've been without you here these past days."
Butler Wang was practically moved to tears of joy.
Before Young Master Lin got together with the young lady, she would often leave Night Garden.
He hadn't found life particularly boring back then.
But in the last two years, following Young Master Lin often meant there was some drama to see, and when Young Master Lin had free time, he would even chat with an old man like him.
After getting used to such fine fare, he never wanted to go back to coarse grains again.
The moment Butler Wang hugged Lin Xuan, Su Hua's beautiful eyes narrowed instantly.
A cold aura emanated from her entire body.
Su Hua spoke expressionlessly, "Butler Wang, don't you have something you need to attend to?"
Butler Wang frowned. "No, I don't."
Before waiting for the young lady and Young Master Lin to return, he had already finished all the tasks that needed doing. There was nothing else requiring his attention.
"Butler Wang, are you sure you don't want to think more carefully?" Su Hua said coldly.
"I really don't..."
Butler Wang's words cut off halfway.
Wait, the young lady's expression didn't seem quite right.
Butler Wang became alert.
He then noticed he was still hugging Young Master Lin.
He quickly took several steps back.
How could he have forgotten?
The young lady was someone who would even get jealous of the old master.
He actually dared to hug Young Master Lin? Did he have a death wish?
"I remember now, I do have some urgent matters to take care of," Butler Wang said with a forced chuckle. "Young Master Lin, young lady, I'll take my leave now."
Butler Wang strode away with vigorous, swift steps.
A servant watched Butler Wang's retreating back in confusion.
Didn't they say Butler Wang had been having foot pain lately?
She thought Butler Wang's legs seemed just fine.
Was he really in pain?
Lin Xuan also found Butler Wang's behavior a bit odd.
However, he didn't think too much of it.
"Hua—"
Before Lin Xuan could finish saying "Bao," Su Hua walked to his side.
She took his hand.
"Xuan, let's go inside quickly," Su Hua said gently.
"Alright."
As soon as they entered,
Su Hua instructed the chef to bring out the meal.
This time, Su Hua didn't let Lin Xuan feed her. Instead, she ate by herself, focused on her food.
Lin Xuan was on edge.
He thought to himself, Hua Bao seemed in a hurry.
What she was hurrying for was obvious...
It only took ten minutes before Su Hua put down her chopsticks.
She rested her chin on her hand, watching her Xuan.
Lin Xuan ate his meal slowly and leisurely.
Dragging it out as long as he could.
Old Master Su hadn't seen his dear granddaughter and dear grandson-in-law for a while either.
Hearing that Su Hua and Lin Xuan had returned from abroad, he immediately rushed over from the old residence.
Butler Wang entered the dining room. "Young lady, Young Master Lin, the old master has arrived."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up.
Excellent!
My savior is here!
Su Hua's aura, however, turned icy.
Pursing her lips, she said, "It's too late now. Xuan and I need to rest. Tell Grandfather to come another day."
"Yes."
Butler Wang could tell that his young lady wanted to send the old master away because she didn't want him disturbing her and Young Master Lin's time alone.
If the old master knew his granddaughter's thoughts, he'd probably be heartbroken again.
Once the child you've raised grows up, she no longer listens to her grandpa.
Butler Wang shook his head.
Just as he was about to carry out the order,
"Butler Wang, wait, don't go yet," Lin Xuan quickly called him back.
Old Master Su was his savior; how could he let him be sent away so easily?
"Hua Bao."
Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua and said seriously, "Old Master Su coming over so late might mean he has something urgent. Besides, it's not easy for him to make the trip. We can't just not let him in the door."
Su Hua pressed her lips together.
If she insisted on not letting Grandfather in, Xuan might think she was unfilial.
She didn't want to leave any negative impression in Xuan's mind.
Su Hua could only nod. "Then let him in."
Butler Wang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
In the past, the young lady wouldn't change her mind so easily.
Now, just because of Young Master Lin's words, she changed her decision.
The young lady really was strict about listening to her husband.
Old Master Su was ushered in by Butler Wang.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
