Everyone in the private room: "..."
Holy shit!
Shao Xingfan's eyes were about to pop out of his head.
What's going on? Is this guy out of his mind?
Wang Jianghai's heart was in his throat.
The guy he brought had only touched Su Hua slightly, and she looked like she wanted to kill him. This man actually kissed her—he's probably in deep trouble now.
Under everyone's incredulous gaze, Su Hua wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan's waist, closed her eyes, and kissed him back.
At that moment, all the coldness in Su Hua's demeanor had completely vanished.
Everyone: ...
What kind of fantasy plot is this?
Su Hua, who had always been as unapproachable as a flower on a high peak, actually liked a man now?
Seeing Su Hua's entire aura soften, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't angry anymore, everything was fine.
"Let's continue discussing the collaboration," Su Hua said expressionlessly.
Wang Jianghai felt a bit dazed.
Did they just get through that so easily?
During the following discussion, Wang Jianghai noticed that Su Hua displayed a somewhat submissive, almost feminine demeanor in front of Lin Xuan.
The collaboration went smoothly, and both parties signed the contract.
"President Su, it's been a pleasure working with you."
Wang Jianghai extended his right hand to shake Su Hua's, but remembering her aversion to physical contact with men, he quickly put it down.
"Yes, it's been a pleasure," Su Hua nodded.
After the meeting, they left.
As they walked a short distance from the private room, Lin Xuan took Su Hua's hand.
Su Hua was momentarily stunned.
"Su Hua, we're boyfriend and girlfriend. Isn't holding hands normal?" Lin Xuan smiled gently.
He had realized that Su Hua wasn't as intimidating as she seemed. As long as he went along with her, her yandere tendencies wouldn't surface.
So, he decided to treat Su Hua as well as possible—it would make his life much easier.
Su Hua murmured, "Boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes, and one day, we'll be husband and wife!" Lin Xuan had made up his mind. Su Hua was a powerful figure, and he was determined to hold onto her tightly. In the entire Great Xia nation, there was no one more influential than Su Hua.
Shao Xingfan and Jiang Qing followed behind them. Shao Xingfan pulled Jiang Qing aside and whispered, "Is this pretty boy living with President Su?"
"Calling him a pretty boy—if President Su hears that, you'll be in big trouble!" Jiang Qing shot him a glare.
"But isn't he? His name is Lin Xuan, right? A student at Shangqing University! Aside from being a good student, does he have any other talents? Oh, and my sister told me that Lin Xuan was Qin Ruoyao's lapdog, so much so that the whole school knew about it." Shao Xingfan had been staring at Lin Xuan in the hotel room and finally recognized him.
His first thought was that Lin Xuan wasn't worthy of their President Su!
"Assistant Shao, you must treat Lin Xuan with respect. He's the man President Su has chosen. No matter how unworthy he may seem, if you disrespect him and President Su finds out, you'll be in deep trouble. Besides, as long as he can keep President Su happy, that's far more valuable than any talent or ability to make money!"
"At President Su's level, she lacks nothing material. What she needs is someone who truly understands her, and Lin Xuan is the one who has managed to get close to her heart."
Jiang Qing had initially been hostile toward Lin Xuan because he had repeatedly hurt Su Hua's feelings and had been too close to Qin Ruoyao.
But now that Lin Xuan seemed willing to stay by President Su's side, that was enough for her to let go of her animosity toward him.
Shao Xingfan frowned, "But he used to be Qin Ruoyao's lapdog. Now he seems to treat President Su well, but what if he's just pretending? Having someone like him by President Su's side is too risky."
