This is...
Lin Xuan's heart pounded, and he felt a bit nervous.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she leaned close to Lin Xuan's ear and whispered softly, "Ah Xuan, how many things have you been hiding from me?"
"You're being naughty, keeping secrets from me. There will be consequences for that, you know."
Su Hua smiled faintly, "Tonight, I have a business meeting to attend. Be a good boy and wait for me at home. Make sure to clean yourself up, though it's fine if you don't. I quite like the scent you carry, Ah Xuan."
"And that love letter... I really liked it..."
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
How could this be considered hiding something from her?!
Lin Xuan suspected that Su Hua was just using this as an excuse to take advantage of him.
Damn!
This was utterly ridiculous.
Su Hua, a woman, was more enthusiastic about *that* than he, a grown man, was.
Their intimate gestures sent the audience into a frenzy.
"Ahhhh—"
"Are they a couple? They look so perfect together!"
"Such god-tier looks! And the fact that she's representing Su Corporation to present the award—she must hold a high position in the company. What a perfect match, both in talent and appearance!"
Shen Qianqian clenched her fists tightly.
"That vixen! That seductress!"
Zhang Li didn't dare to speak, but she thought the two of them looked quite compatible and suited for each other.
After speaking to Lin Xuan, Su Hua took a few steps back, returning to her usual cold and distant demeanor.
It seemed as if she and Lin Xuan had no connection whatsoever.
Everyone was left confused.
Were they acquainted or not?
After the award ceremony, it was time for the group photo.
Su Hua turned around, her stunning face fully revealed to Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian's pupils contracted sharply.
Wasn't this the seductress who had appeared at the coffee shop and completely bewitched Lin Xuan?
Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth.
What a high-level move!
She had even become the person presenting the award to Lin Xuan!
Lin Xuan and Su Hua stood side by side.
Some shippers couldn't help but scream, "Ahhhh—"
"So handsome, so beautiful, such a perfect match!"
"Damn, I'm so curious if they're actually a couple. Other than that moment when the lady whispered into Lin Xuan's ear, they've been completely cold and distant."
"Don't you think that even though they're standing together without smiling or showing any closeness, there's still this unbreakable aura between them?"
"I feel the same way!"
The photographer raised his camera, aiming it at the two of them, and clicked away.
The host glanced at the live-stream comments and, holding the microphone, asked with a smile, "Miss Su, Lin Xuan, many viewers in the live chat are curious about your relationship."
"Just now, when Miss Su leaned in to speak to Lin Xuan, he seemed a bit shy. Some are wondering if you two are a couple."
"Could you share a bit about your relationship and what you were whispering about earlier?"
Su Hua replied, "It's nothing significant. Our CEO at Su Corporation noticed Lin Xuan's exceptional talent and wanted to invite him to join our company after he graduates."
This statement made Su Hua ponder for a moment.
Having Ah Xuan work at Su Corporation... perhaps he could even become her personal secretary.
But... Ah Xuan has his own company.
Jiang Qing, who was watching them with a doting smile, had no idea that her boss, Su Hua, was already considering replacing her with Lin Xuan.
Su Hua smiled gently, "We welcome Lin Xuan to join Su Corporation in the future."
The audience was dazzled by Su Hua's smile.
She was truly breathtaking. Earlier, she had seemed cold and aloof, but this smile was utterly captivating.
Her voice was so melodious that it felt like it could make one's ears pregnant.
Listening to Su Hua's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.
Indeed, Su Corporation had invested so much money into the prize pool this time. They were clearly targeting top talent.
Given Lin Xuan's exceptional performance in the field of computer science, it was only natural that Su Corporation would want to recruit him.
"So they're not a couple," the shippers lamented, clutching their shattered hearts.
Wuwuwu, their beloved ship had sunk.
But it wasn't all bad. Su Corporation, being the top company in the country, had extended an invitation to Lin Xuan. It was highly likely that he would join them in the future.
Working in the same company, the possibility of love blossoming over time wasn't out of the question.
"I see," the host nodded.
As Su Hua left the stage, Shen Qianqian's venomous gaze followed her every move. Sensing this, Su Hua paused for a moment.
She turned her head slightly and met Shen Qianqian's eyes.
Su Hua narrowed her eyes slightly.
Wasn't this Shen Qianqian, the one who had been coveting Ah Xuan?
Hmph—
She was still clinging to Ah Xuan, even coming to watch his competition.
In the past, Shen Qianqian would have already been suffering unbearable torment at her hands.
But... Ah Xuan didn't like her being violent. Recently, they had had a small misunderstanding because of Shen Qianqian.
If she were to act against Shen Qianqian now and Ah Xuan found out, he might suspect her involvement.
She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ah Xuan.
Hopefully... Shen Qianqian wouldn't stir up any more trouble.
A hint of killing intent flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
But she quickly averted her gaze and left the stage as if nothing had happened.
"Damn," Zhang Li rubbed her arms, which were covered in goosebumps.
"Qianqian, did you notice? Just now, Miss Su—oh, I mean, the representative from Su Corporation—seemed to be looking in our direction. That gaze was terrifying. Truly an ice queen. Just one look from her has such a powerful impact," Zhang Li couldn't help but remark.
Shen Qianqian sneered.
"What ice queen? She's just a vixen. A seductress who relies on men to climb her way up," Shen Qianqian said disdainfully.
Zhang Li could sense Shen Qianqian's dislike for Su Hua and chose not to say anything further.
Backstage, Jiang Qing hurriedly approached Su Hua with her phone.
"Miss Su, there's an urgent matter at the company that requires your attention."
"Understood," Su Hua nodded and then left.
The computer competition had come to an end.
The team leader was ecstatic. "It's been ten years! For the past decade, our computer science department has been overshadowed by Yundu University. But this time, we finally turned the tables and came out on top!"
He was overjoyed!
After this, they would see if those computer science students from Yundu University still dared to act so smug in front of them.
Moreover, this competition had garnered unprecedented attention.
Many people had taken notice of Shangqing University, which would greatly benefit its future admissions.
"Lin Xuan," the team leader couldn't help but praise, "you were the key to our victory this time."
Though the competition had been a nerve-wracking experience for his heart.
"Mm," Lin Xuan nodded indifferently.
The team leader couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Truly, geniuses always carried themselves with such calm composure.
Xue Wenbo and Qian Hong approached.
"Lin Xuan," they both greeted him warmly, their friendly demeanor making them seem approachable.
