"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?"
Yanxi reminds you: Due to Tomato's request for over 3 million daily updates causing excessive server pressure, it is now recommended you use other big shots' sources:
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
