Chapter 144: Ah Xuan, At My Mercy
The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and Shen Qianqian had set her sights on him. Whether there were other women besides Shen Qianqian, he wasn’t sure.
“Su Hua, no matter the reason, I did come out a bit late. Whatever punishment you want to give me, I’ll accept it.” Lin Xuan started slacking off completely.
“That’s what you said, Ah Xuan.” A flicker of cunning crossed Su Hua’s eyes.
She was waiting for this very statement from Ah Xuan.
“Remember, today Ah Xuan is entirely at my disposal.”
“Smack!”
Jiang Qing heard these words and realized something was off. He quickly pressed a button.
The panel behind them rose up.
Jiang Qing stared straight ahead with intent focus.
He finally understood why Su Zong, who wasn’t actually angry, still maintained a cold expression when facing Lin Xuan.
It was an opportunity to make demands on Young Master Lin.
Well, cough cough…
Unquestionably, Su Zong really knew how to play the game.
Hong Yuanjie was driving in the front seat, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel so hard it seemed like it might snap.
He thought the master was truly punishing Lin Xuan.
But…
Hong Yuanjie’s eyes grew dark.
Lin Xuan was indeed crafty, able to make the always aloof master, who cared about nothing, become… lecherous.
The car entered the Night Garden.
On the backseat, Su Hua was already sitting sideways on Lin Xuan’s lap, her arms wrapped around his neck, her face flushed with allure, and her lips red as ever.
Her beautiful eyes shimmered with water-like radiance.
Their clothes were still intact but looked quite disheveled.
“Hua Bao, let me carry you down,” Lin Xuan’s voice was slightly hoarse; the little woman on him was too tempting, and he was almost losing control.
“Not in a hurry.”
Like a seductive sprite, Su Hua once again offered her red lips to the man.
“This suit, Ah Xuan must wear it properly,” Su Hua breathed hotly into Lin Xuan’s ear, her tone filled with suggestive charm.
Hong Yuanjie and Jiang Qing had already gotten out of the car.
Hong Yuanjie muttered deeply, “Indeed, handsome men bring calamity.”
In the past, the master always kept a distance from men, yet in front of Lin Xuan, she became like a little wife, completely losing her previous cold and ruthless demeanor.
This wasn’t the master he remembered!
Jiang Qing chuckled, “You’ll get used to it.”
“Secretary Jiang,” Hong Yuanjie couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you worried someone might use Lin Xuan against the master?”
Secretary Jiang didn’t seem to have any aversion towards Lin Xuan; instead, he showed great respect.
Jiang Qing nodded, “I used to have that concern. Once Su Zong has a soft spot, those people will have opportunities to exploit it.”
“But now, I’m not worried anymore.”
Young Master Lin has sufficient self-preservation abilities. Who knows, maybe one day he’ll end up protecting Su Zong instead.
“Why?” Hong Yuanjie furrowed his brows and asked.
“Young Master Lin isn’t weak. You may not believe it now, but you’ll see later.”
Jiang Qing didn’t elaborate further.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Jiang Qing specifically instructed Butler Wang not to let the servants approach that car.
“Secretary Jiang, I understand. I’ll arrange accordingly,” Butler Wang replied with a knowing smile.
An hour later.
Lin Xuan carried Su Hua out of the car.
Su Hua’s shoes were still inside, leaving her barefoot. She held onto Lin Xuan’s neck, leaning closely into him.
An atmosphere of intimacy surrounded the two.
Butler Wang’s gaze roamed over the two with a knowing smirk.
However…
Butler Wang glanced at Su Hua’s belly. How could it be that despite their daily affection, Miss hasn’t conceived yet?
Butler Wang felt a growing doubt.
Lin Xuan carried her into the room, placing Su Hua on the sofa.
At a glance, he saw a rack filled with suits of various colors—red, blue, gray…
Su Hua’s voice was low, but in the quiet environment of the car, Jiang Qing could hear every word clearly.
Punishment?
Tsk tsk tsk, would Su Zong really punish Young Master Lin? Most likely… cough cough…
Beside him, Hong Yuanjie also perked up his ears, his heart relaxing.
Seemed like the master didn’t like Lin Xuan that much after all, casually punishing him.
Hong Yuanjie prepared himself to watch the show.
As time ticked by, the air pressure inside the car grew lower.
Jiang Qing couldn’t resist sneaking a message to Lin Xuan.
[Young Master Lin, when will it be over?]
Lin Xuan: [It’s over, we’re arriving soon.]
Jiang Qing sighed in relief.
Sitting in the car, Su Hua spotted Lin Xuan approaching from afar, and the hostility on her face dissipated somewhat.
Her lips curled into a faint smile.
Jiang Qing: “…”
Su Zong’s mood changes faster than weather.
When Lin Xuan hurriedly got into the car, Su Hua deliberately put on a cold face again.
Jiang Qing secretly observed and exclaimed internally: “!!!”
Didn’t Su Zong stop being mad?
Why does she keep changing her expressions?
They say a woman’s heart is unpredictable, and Su Zong can’t escape this rule either.
“Hmph.” Hong Yuanjie smirked, letting out a disdainful snort.
Jiang Qing looked at Hong Yuanjie curiously.
Why did she see a gleam of schadenfreude on Hong Yuanjie’s face?
Lin Xuan, seeing Su Hua’s current demeanor, quickly guessed that perhaps he came out late, making Su Hua upset.
“I was just watching the drama unfold and lost track of time,” Lin Xuan explained honestly.
Su Hua still maintained her cold face.
The atmosphere in the air became somewhat stagnant.
“Was the show good?” The gorgeous woman suddenly pulled Lin Xuan’s neck closer, her red lips brushing against Lin Xuan’s corner of the mouth. Their breaths intertwined suggestively.
Hong Yuanjie frowned.
Didn’t the master say she wanted to punish Lin Xuan?
What is she doing now?
The unique, faint fragrance of the woman wafted into Lin Xuan’s nose, causing his body to inexplicably tense up.
“It was okay,” Lin Xuan swallowed.
“Did the Lin family cause you any trouble, Ah Xuan?” Su Hua narrowed her eyes, dangerous vibes emanating from them.
If they dared to make her Ah Xuan suffer, she wouldn’t hold back.
“No worries, Hua Bao. As long as I remain indifferent to familial feelings, the Lin family can’t harm me.”
The only thing they could hurt him with was that so-called family bond.
“I’m here to stir things up, not to come crying over grievances,” Lin Xuan added.
“Hmm.” Su Hua’s lips curved slightly. Her Ah Xuan was indeed capable.
“Since the Lin family issue is temporarily resolved, shouldn’t we address the matter of Ah Xuan coming out late?”
Su Hua’s delicate fingers played with the tie in front of Lin Xuan, “I suspect Ah Xuan might have been dazzled by some socialite heiresses and didn’t want to leave.”
She noticed that among the socialite ladies attending the banquet, there were quite a few attractive ones.
“Who knows how many flirtations Ah Xuan stirred up?”
Su Hua’s fingertips teasingly traced Lin Xuan’s chest.
“No, this time my mind was solely focused on video matters; I didn’t pay attention to other women,” Lin Xuan assured, his gaze evasive, looking rather guilty.
He did indeed cause…
