“Are you still playing dumb with me?” Su Guoxiong angrily tapped his cane on the floor. “Last night, you used yourself as bait, didn’t you?”
Su Hua lowered her head, staring at her water glass, and remained silent.
“You put yourself in danger and even got your arm injured.”
Su Guoxiong was both furious and worried. He gritted his teeth and said, “Such a small matter, why did you have to handle it personally? Couldn’t you have sent your subordinates?”
“It’s just a minor injury,” Su Hua replied indifferently.
“A minor injury? In your eyes, is everything short of death just a minor injury?”
Su Guoxiong glared at Su Hua, exasperated by her stubbornness. “Grandpa knows you’re capable, but accidents happen. What if next time it’s not just your arm that gets hurt?”
“It won’t happen. I know my limits.”
Su Hua lowered her gaze.
In the past, she had always been drawn to extremely dangerous situations.
There was nothing in this world that she cared about, so dying didn’t matter to her.
Back then, she had forcibly kept Lin Xuan by her side, and she was certain he hated her for it. If she died, he would probably be glad.
Her organization, Night Rose, had grown and flourished over the years.
Her reputation as the “Dark Rose” struck fear into the hearts of many.
But now, she valued her life.
Lin Xuan had finally accepted her, and she wouldn’t let anything happen to herself.
“It won’t happen? Fine, keep doing those dangerous things then,” the old man huffed angrily. “If you die, I’ll pick dozens of outstanding young women for Lin Xuan to choose from and marry. Then you can watch from the underworld as he enjoys a happy life with someone else.”
Su Hua: “…”
She pursed her lips and glanced at her grandfather. “Grandpa, I’m your biological granddaughter.”
“So what?” Su Guoxiong snorted. “If something really happens to you, I can’t let Lin Xuan grow old alone, can I?”
“I’m putting it out there—if anything happens to you, I’ll immediately find him a wife!”
He had to use some tough love to make Su Hua realize her mistake.
Su Hua lowered her eyes.
“It won’t happen.”
“Lin Xuan won’t have the chance to be with anyone else.”
Whether in hell or on earth, she would always, always be with Lin Xuan.
“I’ll cherish my life,” Su Hua said softly.
Su Guoxiong nodded in satisfaction.
Good, good.
It seemed his words had finally gotten through to her.
Bringing up Lin Xuan had worked like a charm. Lin Xuan was truly the lucky star of the Su family, the only one who could rein in his fearless granddaughter.
“Hua’er, remember what you said today,” Su Guoxiong said sternly.
After their conversation, the two of them went downstairs.
Su Guoxiong’s teasing gaze shifted between Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ask.
The old man’s stare was making him uncomfortable.
Su Guoxiong chuckled. “Lin Xuan, Hua’er, you two should work harder and make a baby for me to take care of.”
Make a baby…
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but glance at Su Hua’s stomach.
Come to think of it, Su Hua never let him use protection and practically kept him in bed every night. How come she still wasn’t pregnant?
“I’ll leave now. You two, give it your best shot.”
Humming a tune, Su Guoxiong left in high spirits.
Su Hua glanced at Butler Wang, who immediately understood her meaning and ushered the servants out with a smile.
The living room was now empty except for Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
“Lin Xuan,” Su Hua cooed as she wrapped herself around him like a seductive enchantress. Her delicate fingers traced his neck, moving downward to his well-defined abs. Her touch was like fire, igniting his senses wherever she trailed.
Having been intimate many times, Su Hua now knew exactly how to arouse Lin Xuan.
It wasn’t long before Lin Xuan’s breathing grew ragged.
Only then did Su Hua stop.
“Lin Xuan,” she whispered, pressing him down onto the sofa. Her lips brushed against his as she spoke in a sultry tone.
“Grandpa loves children. He’s getting old, and we should fulfill his wish. Let’s have a baby for him to play with, okay?”
Of course, having a baby was just an excuse.
She wouldn’t be able to be intimate with Lin Xuan during the ten months of pregnancy and the period after giving birth.
A child would also steal Lin Xuan’s attention away from her.
She wasn’t ready to let a child disrupt their lives so soon.
She only said this to find an excuse to be close to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was already aroused.
But this time, he was determined to take control.
He wrapped his arms around Su Hua’s slender waist and flipped their positions.
He kissed her deeply.
Just as things were about to escalate, Lin Xuan suppressed his desire and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Hua’er, let me carry you to the bedroom.”
“No, let’s stay in the living room,” Su Hua purred, her eyes glazed with desire, making her even more alluring.
“We’ve never tried it here before.”
Su Hua’s arms pulled Lin Xuan down, and their lips met again.
The seductive woman led the man deeper into indulgence and passion.
Afterward, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but think how fortunate it was that he had been drinking the nourishing tonic Butler Wang had prepared for him the past few days.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up with Su Hua’s demands.
This time, Su Hua slept unusually late.
When she woke up, Lin Xuan was already in the bathroom washing up.
As Lin Xuan stepped out of the bathroom, he saw Su Hua lying on the bed, propping her head up with one hand. Her soft silk nightgown accentuated her graceful curves.
Seeing her like this, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but recall the events of the previous night.
Ahem.
Lin Xuan’s ears turned slightly red.
He wondered where Su Hua had learned so many positions…
Su Hua noticed Lin Xuan’s presence.
She got out of bed and walked barefoot toward him.
“Lin Xuan, I was very satisfied with your performance last night,” Su Hua said with a seductive smile. “So, your seduction was successful.”
Lin Xuan remained silent.
How could it not be successful?
He had given it his all last night, truly exhausting himself.
Su Hua stood on her tiptoes and straightened Lin Xuan’s collar.
“If you ever run into any problems in the future, don’t hesitate to come to me.”
“Of course, helping you comes with conditions, like last night,” Su Hua whispered seductively in his ear.
Lin Xuan: “…”
Having such a powerful and wealthy girlfriend meant he never had to worry about any challenges, but his kidneys were paying the price.
Su Hua headed to the company.
“Ms. Su,” Jiang Qing entered the office. “You asked for me?”
Su Hua instructed, “Contact the film and television censorship department. Get the animated series from Tianmu Group approved.”
“Understood,” Jiang Qing replied.
“Also,” Su Hua added, “arrange for those two animated series to be broadcast on television. Additionally, prioritize Tianmu Group’s TV dramas for television airing.”
“Yes, Ms. Su.”
Jiang Qing knew this was related to Lin Xuan and was of utmost importance. She immediately set aside her current tasks and carried out Su Hua’s orders.
“Secretary Jiang, what brings you here?” Qin Youzhi, knowing Jiang Qing was Su Hua’s right-hand woman, treated her with great respect.
Not only was the Su family’s influence immense, but their intelligence network alone was enough to make him tread carefully.
He couldn’t afford to offend Su Hua.
“Did you block the two animated series from Tianmu Group?” Jiang Qing asked sternly.
Qin Youzhi was taken aback.
Jiang Qing had come for Tianmu Group’s animated series.
He had personally ordered those two series to be blocked.
Could he admit it?
Of course not!
“Tianmu Group?” Qin Youzhi feigned surprise. “Their animated series were blocked? I had no idea. Secretary Jiang, this must be the work of someone in the department. I’ll investigate immediately.”
