Chapter 219: Approaching His Ear
Lin Xuan: “……”
In this situation, they were supposed to maintain a distant relationship, yet Su Hua still managed to subtly flirt with him.
Someone in the audience couldn’t help but say, “Didn’t you guys notice that when the representative from Suzhou Group first appeared, she had an extremely cold aura, but when facing Lin Xuan, I felt her whole demeanor soften dramatically.”
“I also noticed. But this is pretty normal, right? Lin Xuan is such a genius; she admires him, so it’s natural for her to treat him differently.”
“Can’t deny that these two look absolutely amazing together. Ahhh, I want them to be a couple!”
Jiang raised an eyebrow.
This was Su Zong’s little scheme. Whenever she needed to appear in front of everyone with Young Master Lin, she dressed like an ordinary noble young lady, not as mature and steady as she usually was during work.
Su Zong did this on purpose to make people think she and Young Master Lin were a perfect match.

At the Su Family Manor.
A few old men sat in front of the TV, watching Lin Xuan achieve a perfect score, solving Master Oli’s difficult problem.
They were all shocked.
This good?
Su Guoxiong proudly lifted his head, “You three haters, speak up!”
“Weren’t you saying Lin Xuan couldn’t possibly win? Look, he won, didn’t he?”
“I said it before, he doesn’t make a sound until he makes a grand entrance.”
Su Guoxiong looked smug.
Look! This is his future grandson-in-law!
Uncle Li sighed, “This kid is indeed a genius. At such a young age, he’s already this capable. It’s hard to imagine what heights he’ll reach in the future.”
“He’s definitely a genius. Even when I was young, I couldn’t solve problems this quickly. Truly, each generation has its own talents.” Uncle Chen couldn’t help but praise Lin Xuan.
During the award ceremony.
“Cough cough cough—” Uncle Chen choked on the tea he just drank.
“Old man Su, isn’t that your precious granddaughter? Why is she personally handing out awards?” Uncle Chen looked astonished.
Su Hua didn’t like to mingle. She rarely attended banquets or anything like that.
Why would she go watch the competition in person and give awards to the participants this time?
That was too abnormal.
Su Guoxiong smiled, “What do you think of Lin Xuan?”
Uncle Chen replied, “He’s handsome, talented, just don’t know about his character. But judging by his appearance, he should be quite good.”
“You have some insight.” Su Guoxiong stroked his beard, his face full of joy.
“Old man Su.” Uncle Liu eyed Su Guoxiong thoughtfully, “Looking at your expression, you seem quite satisfied with him. You wouldn’t be thinking of making him your grandson-in-law, would you?”
“Why not?” Su Guoxiong said.
“He’s good, but remember, your granddaughter is older than him. One is still a student, while the other already manages the largest company in the country.” Uncle Liu said.
Their appearances are quite a match, one handsome, the other beautiful.
But their statuses don’t align at all.
Uncle Su retorted, “What’s the problem with being three years older? Women who are older bring golden bricks. And there’s no issue with status either. Students and presidents, aren’t they quite a match? Just look at the popular novels where female tycoons fall for male students—how many people read those?”
Uncle Liu had nothing to say.
But…
“Old man Su, let me be blunt. Other things aside, the main issue is your granddaughter. She doesn’t care for men. No matter how compatible someone is with her, she simply doesn’t like them.”
Uncle Liu gleefully added, “Your granddaughter seems to keep her distance from men by eight hundred meters. You probably won’t even get to hold a great-granddaughter in this lifetime.”
Su Guoxiong snorted, “You don’t understand. My granddaughter is just a bit aloof because she hasn’t met someone she likes yet.”
Uncle Liu shook his head, “Old man Su, according to me, given Hua’s personality, you shouldn’t expect her to find someone she likes in this lifetime.”
He couldn’t imagine Su Hua falling in love, getting married, and having children.
“My hopes will be dashed. My granddaughter has already started dating, and they’re quite close,” Su Guoxiong’s eyes were filled with happiness.
“Who?” The three old men were curious.
“That guy who got first place, Lin Xuan.” Su Guoxiong pointed at the TV.
“Him?”
The old men were stunned.
Uncle Liu went over and felt Su Guoxiong’s forehead, frowning, “No fever, so why are you talking nonsense?”
Su Guoxiong slapped Uncle Liu’s hand away, “You’re the one talking nonsense. My mind is clear.”
They looked at Su Guoxiong’s expression and were stunned.
She really started dating?
Su Guoxiong took out his phone, opened the photo album, “Look, it’s their picture together.”
In the photo, Su Hua was sitting in Lin Xuan’s lap, and Lin Xuan was holding up the phone for a selfie of the two of them.
Their intimate gestures left no doubt—they were definitely boyfriend and girlfriend.
The three old men stared wide-eyed.
Hua, the one most likely to end up alone forever, finally found a partner…
Su Guoxiong smirked, “See, among our grandchildren, my darling granddaughter is the first to seriously date a boyfriend.”
Among their grandchildren,
One is a lifelong bachelor, always going solo. The other two treat relationships lightly, changing partners whenever they feel like it.
Only Hua is serious about marriage.
“When I have a great-grandchild, don’t envy me.” Su Guoxiong’s face was full of joy that couldn’t be contained.
The three old men: “…”
His smug face was truly annoying.

At the award ceremony site.
Shen Qianqian went to the restroom once. When she returned and sat down, she saw Su Hua standing in front of Lin Xuan.
She frowned unhappily.
Dressed like that, trying to seduce whom?
Did she think Brother Lin would glance at her? How ridiculous!
“Lili, who’s that woman?” Shen Qianqian asked sternly.
“That’s the representative from Suzhou Group giving Lin Xuan his bonus and certificate.”
Zhang Li couldn’t help but add, “Qianqian, you don’t know, she’s incredibly gorgeous. I almost fell for her myself.”
Shen Qianqian sneered, “How beautiful can she be?”
Just a sly fox.
Shen Qianqian also remembered seeing Su Hua in the café that day, and hatred welled up inside her.
If it weren’t for that woman, Brother Lin wouldn’t have become so distant from her.
Zhang Li noticed Shen Qianqian’s dislike for Su Hua and quickly flattered, “Of course, she’s nowhere near as beautiful as you, Qianqian. She’s just another庸脂俗粉 (ordinary beauty), how could she compare to you?”
Shen Qianqian was satisfied.
She kept staring at Su Hua’s back, wanting to know what she looked like, but since Su Hua was facing away, she couldn’t see clearly.
Seeing them shake hands, jealousy rose in Shen Qianqian’s heart.
She hadn’t even touched Brother Lin, yet this woman had gotten to him first.
Su Hua’s red lips suddenly approached Lin Xuan’s ear.
Audience: “!!!”
