Chapter 182: Ah Xuan, You’ve Been A Very Naughty Boy
Night Garden.
“Su Zong, the roses, love letters, and credit card have all been delivered to Young Master Lin,” Jiang reported.
“Hmph.” Su Hua nodded.
“Oh, by the way…” Su Hua hesitated for a moment before speaking again. “What was Ah Xuan’s reaction when he received those gifts?”
“Young Master Lin seemed quite delighted. He said he liked them very much,” Jiang smiled as he spoke.
“If he likes them, that’s good.” Su Hua’s crimson lips curved into a faint smile.
From the corner of his eye, Jiang noticed a book on the coffee table where Su Hua had placed it. He initially thought it might be some business magazine.
But upon seeing the bold title on the cover, his eyes widened in shock.
Step-by-Step Guide to Conquering Handsome Boys?
WTF?
Is Su Zong reading this book?
No wonder today she made us buy flowers, write love letters, and give Lin a credit card.
All this came from this book.
And also, Su Zong being so affected by Shen Qianqian and Lin’s arranged marriage that instead of locking Lin up, she’s now trying to conquer him body and soul?
Su Hua picked up the book from the coffee table and began reading it intently.
Jiang shook his head as he looked at Su Hua.
Indeed, love can change a woman.
“Su Zong, I have some more work updates to report,” Jiang respectfully stated.
He figured it would be best to get these updates out of the way now.
Seeing Su Hua like this, she probably wouldn’t be going to the company for the next few days.
“Hmph, go ahead,” Su Hua nodded.
“Understood.”
As Su Hua read her book, she listened to Jiang speak, multitasking.
After Jiang finished reporting, he prepared to leave when his phone buzzed with a few text messages.
Jiang glanced at his phone and saw they were from the person monitoring Lin Xuan.
Ever since Lin Li reported Lin Xuan’s relationship with Shen Qianqian to Su Hua, though Su Hua trusted Lin Xuan, she still felt an intense sense of unease.
She ordered Jiang to send two people to monitor Lin Xuan.
If they found any interaction between Lin Xuan and other women, they were to report it to her immediately.
The two subordinates sent photos of Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian meeting at a café to Jiang.
Jiang frowned deeply upon reading the message content.
What is this nonsense?
Right now, Young Master Lin is off drinking coffee with Shen Qianqian.
Damn it.
In the photo, Shen Qianqian looks incredibly sweet, even reaching out to touch Lin Xuan’s face—though it’s probably just a bad angle making it seem like she touched his face.
They look like a couple deeply in love.
This is bad. If Su Zong sees these, she’ll definitely explode.
Su Hua noticed Jiang’s unusual expression and furrowed her brows slightly. “What’s happened?”
“Su Zong,” Jiang’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke. “Wang Erhu, who’s been monitoring Young Master Lin, has sent a text saying… saying… Young Master Lin and Shen Qianqian are drinking coffee at Blue Mountain Café.”
“And there are their pictures here.”
Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The atmosphere in the air grew increasingly tense.
The faint smile that had been on Su Hua’s face earlier had long since vanished, replaced by coldness.
After a long silence,
“Bring it over.” Su Hua’s voice was icy and deep.
“Yes.”
Shaking, Jiang handed his phone to Su Hua.
Su Hua stared at the photo of Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian sitting across from each other, their actions looking extraordinarily intimate. Her grip on the phone tightened inch by inch.
Su Hua suddenly chuckled softly.
“Ah Xuan, you’ve really been a very naughty boy,” she murmured.
He said he had urgent business at the company.
Turns out, he went to drink coffee—and with Shen Qianqian.
He lied to her.
Why?
“Ah Xuan, were the past few months of your obedience and care for me all fake?” Su Hua’s hoarse voice carried a tone of hurt.
Her heart truly aches, it hurts so much.
It seems this was all just a dream; Ah Xuan’s light ultimately doesn’t belong to her.
Also… someone destined to be betrayed by everyone, how could she possibly deserve light?
“Ah Xuan, why didn’t you keep up the act?” Su Hua muttered to herself.
This time, it was too convincing.
Even she believed that this time he was sincerely staying by her side.
Even when Lin Li accused Lin Xuan of seducing Shen Qianqian, she never believed it.
Result…
It’s true.
Ah Xuan’s heart will always only belong to his parents and sister.
And her? To him, she’s probably just a crazy person with obsessive possessiveness.
“Su Zong,” Jiang nervously interjected, “Maybe there’s something else going on here. Why don’t we call Young Master Lin and ask?”
“No need.”
Su Hua’s voice was raspy. “Send someone to bring him back.”
This time, Ah Xuan, you’re not free anymore.
She won’t let go, so she must keep her Ah Xuan by her side forever. There’s only one way—by keeping him locked up.
“Su Zong…” Jiang urgently protested.
“What? Are you not following my orders now?” Su Hua’s icy gaze pierced through Jiang.
“Yes,” Jiang could only comply.
He sighed.
The observer sees clearly what the participant does not.
Su Zong is caught in the situation, stirred up by this photo. As an outsider, he can see clearly that there’s definitely something strange about this.
Sigh, now we can only wait for Young Master Lin to return and explain personally to Su Zong.
“As you send people…” Jiang was instructing them to bring Lin Xuan back.
At that moment, Su Hua’s phone rang.
Jiang secretly leaned in to check the caller ID.
Young Master Lin!
Jiang’s eyes lit up.
The person on the other end asked curiously, “Secretary Jiang, what did you mean by sending people?”
“Forget it, just continue with your business,” Jiang smiled mischievously as he hung up.
Since Young Master Lin, the fire extinguisher, called, he’ll definitely be able to soothe Su Zong.
If we send people now to capture Young Master Lin, I’m sure it won’t be long before Su Zong calls us back.
If that’s the case, why bother going through all the trouble?
Su Hua’s eyes remained fixed on the incoming call on her phone, her fingers tightening.
Jiang quietly extended his hand and helped Su Hua answer the call, putting it on speaker.
“Hua Bao,” Lin Xuan’s voice came through the phone.
Su Hua pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Hua Bao, are you there?” Lin Xuan asked again when Su Hua didn’t respond.
Jiang had to answer for Su Hua. “Young Master Lin, Su Zong is busy right now. If you have anything to say, just go ahead. Su Zong is listening.”
Lin Xuan cut straight to the point. “Hua Bao, I’m currently with Shen Qianqian.”
Su Hua’s aura grew colder.
With a “crack,” she actually crushed a glass cup in her hand, shards embedding themselves into her flesh.
The nearby servant quickly fetched a first aid kit for Su Hua.
Lin Xuan frowned. “What was that sound? What happened?”
“Nothing, Young Master Lin,” Jiang replied. “I just accidentally broke a cup. Please continue.”
It’s freezing.
If he doesn’t speak soon, Su Zong might start killing people.
