Su Hua walked into the living room.
"Young Miss, you're back," Butler Wang greeted respectfully.
"Yes," Su Hua nodded.
Lin Xuan, who was in the dining room, heard the commotion outside and came out.
"Hua Bao," Lin Xuan approached, taking the bag from Su Hua's hand, intending to put it away for her.
Lin Xuan frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?"
He held Su Hua's hands in his palms, rubbing them to warm them up.
Su Hua stared fixedly at Lin Xuan, a strong sense of possessiveness deep in her eyes.
I really want to lock up Ah Xuan...
Lin Xuan keenly sensed something was off with Su Hua's mood.
"Hua Bao, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.
Su Hua suppressed the urge within her heart.
She couldn't scare her Ah Xuan.
"I'm fine," Su Hua shook her head.
Lin Xuan was full of doubts.
Really, nothing's wrong?
"You came back so late, you must be hungry. Hua Bao, I made some of your favorite dishes, let's have some as a midnight snack," Lin Xuan said, leading Su Hua into the dining room by the hand.
"Bang—" Su Hua closed the dining room door.
Butler Wang, left outside: "???"
He was completely baffled.
What's going on?
Inside the dining room.
Su Hua leaned her back against the cold wall, her arms encircling Lin Xuan's neck, her lips close to his, their breaths mingling.
Lin Xuan understood Su Hua's intention and whispered soothingly, "Hua Bao, let's eat first."
"Ah Xuan, kiss me," Su Hua's voice was restrained.
The whirlpool in her eyes seemed deep enough to suck Lin Xuan in.
"Hua Bao, you're tired, let's sleep well tonight. After you've rested, I'll let you do as you please."
Lin Xuan was genuinely worried about Su Hua's health.
Su Hua had left for work early in the morning and didn't return until 1 AM.
Continuing like this, even the strongest body couldn't hold out.
"Is Ah Xuan not being good?" Su Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Lin Xuan sighed helplessly.
If he didn't satisfy Su Hua today, she wouldn't let it go. He could only cup the back of her head and kiss her crimson lips.
Su Hua closed her eyes, letting Lin Xuan kiss her freely, like a person on the verge of death in a snowy wilderness, desperately seeking warmth from Lin Xuan.
Outside the dining room, Butler Wang suddenly heard a "bang," the sound of a chair falling.
Butler Wang instantly understood.
No wonder the young miss didn't let him in, she wanted to have some alone time with Young Master Lin.
"Alright, alright."
Butler Wang nodded with a smile, standing guard not far from the dining room to prevent any nosy servants from disturbing Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
More than an hour later, Lin Xuan carried Su Hua back to her room.
The dining room was a mess.
The dining table was empty, and the floor was covered with broken plates and scattered food.
The next day.
Su Hua went to the company.
"President Su," Jiang Qing frowned, noticing that President Su's mood hadn't improved.
Su Hua coldly ordered, "Bring me all the documents that need my attention these days."
"President Su, do you have something to attend to? Will you not be coming to the company for the next few days?" Jiang Qing asked, puzzled.
"Yes."
Su Hua lowered her gaze.
She wanted to make sure Ah Xuan firmly remembered whose man he was.
Su Hua found that work couldn't alleviate her urge to lock up Lin Xuan; only actions like last night could slightly reduce it.
Lin Xuan slept until 10 AM, skipping his classes once again.
Of course, Su Hua had already personally called the principal to explain.
Lei Hui approached Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan decided to go to the company.
"Boss," Lei Hui brought out a stack of documents, "Boss, these all need your attention."
"Cough, that seems a bit much," Lei Hui rubbed his nose.
He always felt that with Lin Xuan's intellect, he would come up with perfect solutions.
So he thought of having Lin Xuan review these important documents.
"Alright," Lin Xuan took the documents and started flipping through them.
The document was thick, with dozens of pages.
Lei Hui thought it would take Lin Xuan a long time to go through the document, so he left to attend to other work.
An hour later.
Lei Hui returned to the office.
"I've finished reading the document and have made some revisions. Take a look," Lin Xuan said.
Lei Hui's eyes widened.
Already finished reading?
Lei Hui glanced at his watch; it had only been half an hour. This would usually take at least a day to read.
Could it be that the boss just skimmed through it?
Lei Hui frowned as he picked up the document.
After reading the first few pages, he was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He flipped through several more pages.
It was true!
Reading ten lines at a glance?
Lei Hui swallowed hard; it seemed the boss's level of genius was even more formidable than he had imagined.
Lin Xuan noticed Lei Hui's expression and frowned, "Is there a problem?"
"No," Lei Hui swallowed hard.
"Boss, I will make the revisions as per your instructions," Lei Hui said respectfully.
"Alright," Lin Xuan nodded.
After leaving Lei Hui's office, Lin Xuan walked around to observe.
Everyone in the company was diligently performing their duties, everything proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Lei Hui had a good grip on managing the company.
"Ding."
"Ding."
Lin Xuan's phone buzzed with message notifications. He glanced at it and found that they were QQ message alerts.
He frowned.
Why were they all about Shen Qianqian?
Out of curiosity, Lin Xuan clicked to look; the content was almost entirely photos and videos of Shen Qianqian.
Among them was a video where a girl was being held down by two bodyguards, and Shen Qianqian was slapping her face repeatedly.
She even forced the girl to pick up her vomit with her hands and eat it, the video ending with a freeze-frame of Shen Qianqian's face, filled with disdain and twisted satisfaction.
Lin Xuan wasn't surprised by this side of Shen Qianqian.
She appeared pure and cute on the surface, but in private, she couldn't tolerate the slightest disobedience.
He had experienced this before when he was with the Lin family.
Meanwhile.
The company was conducting auditions for actors, with a line of well-dressed men and women standing outside the audition room, half male and half female.
Qin Ruoyao was among them.
A girl looked at Qin Ruoyao with confusion, "She looks familiar, I think I've seen her somewhere."
"Haven't you seen the news? That's Qin Ruoyao. The scandal about her being the other woman, having an affair with Lin Li, who was engaged, caused quite a stir."
"Wow, that's juicy!"
"Exactly! Lin Li is the heir to the Starlight Group. Knowing she couldn't get signed with Starlight Entertainment, Qin Ruoyao came to audition for Sky Screen Entertainment."
The other candidates also felt a sense of urgency.
They were auditioning for the role of An Xiaoniao in the palace drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan." The one chosen to play An Xiaoniao would be signed by Sky Screen Entertainment.
It must be said, Qin Ruoyao's face had a delicate, fragile look that easily evoked a protective instinct.
Facing Qin Ruoyao, they didn't feel very confident.
Qin Ruoyao listened to their discussions, her expression darkening.
But she was determined to secure the role of An Xiaoniao.
Once she got the role, she would make sure to silence their gossip.
"Next, number 15," a man in a suit called from outside the room.
