In the private room.
Su Hua sat on Lin Xuan's lap, her soft arms wrapped around his neck.
"Ah Xuan, this private room is my exclusive one, very clean," Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan understood Su Hua's intentions but played dumb, "As long as it's clean, that's fine."
"Baby Hua, you must be hungry, let's eat," Lin Xuan said.
"Is Ah Xuan hungry too?" Su Hua raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded, "I'm quite hungry. It's already eight o'clock, time to eat."
"Then I'll serve Ah Xuan some food," Su Hua said, her red lips slowly parting near Lin Xuan's mouth. "First, a pre-meal dessert."
She kissed Lin Xuan's lips.
The sweet scent of the woman lingered around Lin Xuan's nose, and Su Hua easily aroused his interest.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but wrap his arms around the woman's slender waist, kissing her back.
An ambiguous atmosphere filled the private room.
"The next course is the main dish," Su Hua said with a smile.
Lin Xuan thought he must be crazy.
Although such things felt good and made him reluctant to leave, he had never been particularly enthusiastic about them before. Now, it seemed Su Hua had led him into becoming addicted.
Su Hua was too seductive, effortlessly drawing him into her tender embrace.
Jiang Qing hurried over with some documents.
She wanted to knock and enter but then thought of something and asked, "Is Young Master Lin here too?"
"Yes, Young Master Lin has been accompanying Miss Su," the bodyguard replied.
"How long have they been in there?" Jiang Qing asked again.
"Two hours."
"That long?" Jiang Qing frowned. A meal wouldn't take that much time. Could it be that they...
"Ahem," Jiang Qing covered her mouth and coughed lightly. It seemed they were really enjoying their sweet, private time together.
"Secretary Jiang, are you feeling unwell?" the bodyguard asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Jiang Qing shook her head.
"By the way, if there's nothing urgent, don't disturb Miss Su and Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing instructed.
If they interrupted Miss Su's fun, they'd be in big trouble.
"Secretary Jiang, don't worry, we understand," the bodyguard nodded.
Jiang Qing nodded as well, "Good. Let me know when they leave the hotel. I'll go to Night Garden to find Miss Su later."
In the private room.
After finishing the meal, Su Hua clung to Lin Xuan again, claiming that some post-meal exercise would be good for their health.
She eventually grew tired and fell asleep.
Lin Xuan carried her out.
The bodyguards couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.
Young Master Lin is really something. Even Miss Su, who has extraordinary combat skills and an incredibly strong physique, was subdued—no, conquered.
Lin Xuan walked ahead, carrying Su Hua in his arms.
Qin Ruoyao, arm in arm with a pot-bellied middle-aged man, also entered the hotel.
"President Liu," Qin Ruoyao cooed, "Have you arranged that supporting role for me?"
Liu Yuan pinched Qin Ruoyao's cheek and smiled, "Don't worry, it's already been arranged. As long as you serve me well, that role is yours."
"Thank you, President Liu," Qin Ruoyao smiled brightly.
She really didn't want to be an ordinary person with a monthly salary of just a few thousand yuan.
She dreamed of entering the entertainment industry.
To get good resources in the entertainment industry, she had to sleep her way to the top.
As long as she achieved her goals, what did it matter if she was kept by a man?
Qin Ruoyao spotted Lin Xuan from a distance.
Her pupils suddenly contracted.
It was Lin Xuan!
This was the first time she had seen him since leaving school that day.
Qin Ruoyao instinctively let go of Liu Yuan's arm.
She didn't want Lin Xuan to know that she was being kept by a man for money and resources in the entertainment industry.
If Lin Xuan found out, he would probably feel smug.
Liu Yuan, whose eyes were already small, narrowed them further, "Qin Ruoyao, why did you let go of my arm so quickly? Did you see someone you like?"
"No, he's not," Qin Ruoyao bit her lip and replied, "He's just an old classmate of mine."
"In that case, why are you so afraid of him knowing about our relationship?" Liu Yuan sneered.
"Qin Ruoyao, think carefully. There are plenty of actresses who want to climb into my bed. That role isn't necessarily yours."
Qin Ruoyao panicked.
The role she wanted was for the third female lead, a character with a great personality. The male and female leads were big names, and the show was expected to have high viewership.
She could rise to fame through this drama.
If she missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be another one like it.
"President Liu," Qin Ruoyao quickly reattached herself to Liu Yuan's arm, "What are you talking about? I just wanted to get something out of my bag earlier."
Qin Ruoyao, still holding Liu Yuan's arm, braced herself and walked toward Lin Xuan.
The first thing she noticed was the woman in Lin Xuan's arms.
Su Hua was wearing a white silk dress, different from her usual attire, making her look especially youthful.
She seemed like a college student.
Su Hua's face was buried in Lin Xuan's chest.
Qin Ruoyao didn't recognize her as Su Hua. She thought Lin Xuan was holding another woman.
A glint of light flashed in Qin Ruoyao's eyes.
It seemed Lin Xuan had already been abandoned by Su Hua. She knew this day would come eventually. After all, a woman of Su Hua's status and position wouldn't have true love.
So, Su Hua would inevitably abandon Lin Xuan someday.
She just hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
Qin Ruoyao smiled and blocked Lin Xuan's path.
"Well, if it isn't Lin Xuan?" Qin Ruoyao said, her confidence bolstered by seeing Lin Xuan with another woman. "Have you found a new girlfriend? What about Miss Su? Did you two break up?"
"Move aside," Lin Xuan frowned.
He didn't want Qin Ruoyao disturbing Su Hua's rest.
"Or are you secretly seeing another woman behind Miss Su's back?" Qin Ruoyao asked with a slight smile.
Lin Xuan's expression darkened.
Qin Ruoyao thought she had hit the nail on the head and became even more certain that the woman in Lin Xuan's arms was someone else.
Her tone grew increasingly smug, "If Miss Su finds out you're with another woman, Lin Xuan, do you think she'll let you off easy?"
"Actually, if you agree to my conditions, I might consider not telling Miss Su."
Lin Xuan asked in a low voice, "What conditions?"
Qin Ruoyao lifted her chin slightly, "First, kneel and apologize to me. Second, publicly announce online that it was you, or you and Lin Li, who conspired against me, forcing me to sleep with Lin Li. And third, I'll contact you later."
She had to clear her name regarding the incident with Lin Li.
Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined, affecting her career in the entertainment industry and her chances of marrying into a wealthy family.
As for the third condition, she couldn't say it in front of President Liu.
The third condition was that she wanted Lin Xuan to be her lover.
"Lin Xuan, you have no choice," Qin Ruoyao sneered, "You have to listen to me. Otherwise, if Miss Su finds out you've betrayed her, she'll make your life a living hell."
Qin Ruoyao smirked.
Lin Xuan would definitely agree to her demands. He had no other choice.
"Sorry about that, Miss Qin," Su Hua's slightly hoarse voice rang out.
