"Xuan, just now while you were on the phone, was my service... satisfactory?" Su Hua raised an eyebrow.
Lin Xuan's gaze held a hint of grievance.
Could he say it wasn't?
"Satisfactory," Lin Xuan nodded, forcing himself.
What he wasn't satisfied with was how unbearably difficult it had been to hold back.
Yet, he had to admit, Hua Bao's skills were excellent.
It had a uniquely thrilling feel.
"Since you're satisfied, next time, let's try somewhere else, hmm?"
Su Hua curled her lips.
There were so many, many places they hadn't tried yet, like on the grass outdoors, in the grove at Yundu University...
Lin Xuan's guard went up.
Hua Bao was thinking of some strange new tricks again...
Another half hour passed.
Seeing the weariness in Lin Xuan's eyes, Su Hua finally stopped, her heart aching for him.
Her soft body lay draped over Lin Xuan.
Her slender fingertip lightly tapped his nose.
"I'll let you off this time, Xuan. Next time, remember to stay far away from those women, don't let them touch you."
Every time she thought of those women touching her Xuan, she couldn't help but feel a murderous impulse.
"Okay," Lin Xuan nodded without a second thought.
Even if Hua Bao didn't say it, there was no way he would let those women touch him!
If Hua Bao found out and got jealous, it wasn't something his kidneys could endure.
Su Hua lay down on the bed.
Lin Xuan went into the bathroom to wash up.
Listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, Su Hua, lying on her side on the bed propping her head with one hand, seemed a little dazed.
Getting along with Xuan so peacefully was something she hadn't dared to imagine before.
Heaven was kind.
It finally made Xuan fall for her...
Su Hua pressed her lips together, filled with regret.
If, after returning from that island, she hadn't had someone hypnotize Xuan, would he not have liked Qin Ruoyao, and not spent those two years constantly resisting and fleeing from her...
And that dream.
So terrifyingly real...
Was Xuan's sudden change in attitude towards her at Qin Ruoyao's wedding also because... Xuan had been reborn...
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Soon, Lin Xuan walked out of the bathroom wearing a set of pajamas.
He lay on the bed, and Su Hua moved closer, her arms tightly wrapping around his waist.
Lin Xuan sensed something was off about Su Hua's mood.
"Hua Bao, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.
"Nothing," Su Hua shook her head.
Whether that dream was real or not, those were all things that happened in the past.
As long as Xuan liked her now, was good to her, and indulged her, that was enough.
"Xuan, let's sleep," Su Hua said.
"Mhm."
Lin Xuan was indeed tired.
In less than a minute after closing his eyes, he was asleep.
Lying beside Lin Xuan, Su Hua felt exceptionally at peace.
Soon, she too fell asleep.
The next day.
Su Hua went to the company.
Having been abroad for several days, quite a few matters had piled up at the company, waiting for her return to handle them.
Early in the morning, Su Hua went to the office.
Ten in the morning.
Lin Xuan also came downstairs from upstairs, yawning.
He stretched comfortably.
It was still most comfortable at Ye Manor!
While Lin Xuan was eating breakfast, Butler Wang mysteriously emerged from the kitchen.
"Young Master Lin, do you still need that tonic soup? I've prepared it for you," Butler Wang said.
Judging by the young lady's intensity last night, Young Master Lin probably didn't have an easy time.
So he had gotten up early to start brewing the tonic soup for Young Master Lin.
He needed to help improve Young Master Lin's capabilities in that area.
Firstly, to curry favor with Young Master Lin, and secondly, the stronger Young Master Lin's prowess in bed, the greater his hope of holding a little young miss or young master sooner.
"Thank you, Butler Wang," Lin Xuan said.
"Go on, bring it out," Lin Xuan said eagerly.
During that time at the Black Triangle when Hua Bao had seduced him into bed, he had missed Butler Wang's all-purpose tonic soup for a long time.
"Right away, Young Master Lin, please wait a moment."
Butler Wang immediately ducked into the kitchen and brought out the tonic soup.
Lin Xuan picked up the bowl of tonic soup and drank it all down in one go.
Last night, although he and Hua Bao hadn't gone on for long, the way Hua Bao was teasing him left him hanging.
Moreover, after Hua Bao's period was over, she would definitely lure him to bed.
He had to prepare in advance.
After breakfast, Lin Xuan went to his company.
He hadn't been to Tianmu Group for a long time either.
It was a good day to go check on the game's progress.
Lin Xuan walked into Tianmu Group.
The news quickly spread in the executive group chat.
[Urgent news, urgent news, the boss is here!]
Dog Tail Grass: !!!
He's finally here.
Must demand updates! Must!
A novelist, going on hiatus for so long, is unbearable.
Dog Tail Grass immediately headed for Lin Xuan's office.
Lei Hui, who was outside negotiating a collaboration with another company.
His secretary hurried in.
He leaned close to Lei Hui's ear and whispered, "General Manager, the boss has come to the company."
Lei Hui's eyes lit up.
The boss is finally here!
No!
He had to hurry back.
The boss would slip away quickly. If he didn't return soon, the boss would be gone from the company.
As for this collaboration...
It was another company seeking to work with them; it could be rescheduled.
Lei Hui closed the contract.
The chairman of the Chen Group felt his heart leap into his throat.
Was General Manager Lei dissatisfied with the terms they had proposed?
"General Manager Lei, wh-what's the matter?" the company head asked nervously.
Lei Hui said, "There's an urgent matter at my company that requires my immediate return. Let's find another time to discuss this collaboration."
With that, Lei Hui stood up and hurriedly left the hotel.
He left the Chen Group's head to his anxious speculations.
Was General Manager Lei really dealing with something urgent, or was this just an excuse...
The Chen Group's head was full of worry.
It was very likely.
That General Manager Lei wanted them to seriously reconsider these terms themselves.
No matter what, he needed to carefully revise the collaboration terms to satisfy Tianmu Group.
Tianmu Group was currently riding high, and their capabilities were strong.
Collaborating with Tianmu Group was a dream for many companies.
With such an opportunity, their company couldn't afford to waste it.
By the time Lei Hui returned to the company.
Quite a few people were already standing in Lin Xuan's office.
Dog Tail Grass looked particularly excited.
"Boss, you've been on hiatus for almost a month now, and you left off at such a tantalizing cliffhanger. Do you know there's a whole group of readers starving for more?"
"We used to rely on your updates with every meal. Now that you've stopped, do you know many of us can't even eat properly?"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ...
