Chapter 158: She’s a Drug Human

Su Guoxiong was absolutely dying to hold his great-granddaughter.

Su Hua was kidnapped just a few months after she was born. When she returned, she had become cold and distant, not even showing much affection towards him.

With Su Hua unable to fulfill his dream of holding a soft and cuddly granddaughter, he placed all his hopes on Su Hua’s daughter.

Previously, seeing Su Hua’s nature that kept men at arm’s length, he thought he would never have the chance to hold a great-granddaughter.

But then, out of nowhere, Brother Lin Xuan appeared.

He had to quickly push them to make a baby; otherwise, if they broke up one day and Hua reverted back to her icy demeanor that shunned men, what would he do?

Next, Su Guoxiong asked Brother Lin Xuan a bunch of detailed questions.

Inwardly, Su Guoxiong couldn’t help but nod in approval.

Not bad, not bad at all. Lin Xuan seemed to be quite knowledgeable and talented, and he genuinely loved Hua.

Look, when talking about Hua, the love in Lin Xuan’s eyes was almost spilling over.

Su Guoxiong was very satisfied with Lin Xuan.

However, his face remained stern, revealing no emotions.

“Lin Xuan, you know what kind of power our Su Family holds. If one day your feelings fade and we part ways amicably, the Su Family won’t give you any trouble.”

“But,” Su Guoxiong warned dangerously, “if you dare betray Hua, get cozy with another woman, or do anything detrimental to her, don’t blame me, this old man, for sending someone to k*ll you.”

“Our Su Family can certainly take a life if we want to.”

Su Guoxiong could see that his granddaughter had unique feelings for Lin Xuan. Once his granddaughter fell in love, it would be forever.

If Lin Xuan were ever to betray her, Hua would likely be heartbroken beyond repair.

Lin Xuan nodded, “Don’t worry, I will never betray her in this lifetime. We are destined to be together forever.”

“Good, very good!”

A smile appeared on Su Guoxiong’s face as he pulled out a red envelope, “Here, this is my gift to you for meeting. Inside is eight billion yuan, and the bank card password is Hua’s birthday.”

Lin Xuan’s hands trembled.

Do rich people always give gifts so extravagantly?

“You keep this money, use it for petty cash. If it’s not enough, come ask me for more.” Su Guoxiong said kindly, completely different from his previous stern demeanor.

“Thank you, Chairman Su.” Lin Xuan bowed his head.

“Why so formal?” Su Guoxiong smiled, “Just like Hua, call me Grandpa.”

“Lin Xuan, Grandpa has a favor to ask of you.” Su Guoxiong lowered his voice, “Hua occasionally falls ill, mainly because there’s something troubling her mind. Grandpa hopes that one day you can find out what her problem is; it would greatly help her condition.”

“Alright, I understand.” Lin Xuan nodded.

“Good child, thank you for your trouble.” Su Guoxiong kindly said, “You must be tired today. I’ve already asked the chef to prepare some food for you. After eating, go rest.”

As Su Guoxiong saw Lin Xuan ascend the stairs, he quietly instructed, “Old Li, go prepare some things for me.”

—

Upstairs.

The moment Lin Xuan lay down on the bed, the woman sleeping beside him instinctively snuggled closer.

Her face pressed against Lin Xuan’s chest, one hand tightly hugging his slim waist.

She nestled entirely against Lin Xuan’s body.

And just like that, Su Hua spent the entire night with her head resting on Lin Xuan’s body.

Early the next morning, Su Hua woke up. As she opened her eyes, Lin Xuan, still half-asleep, absentmindedly rubbed her hair.

Su Hua reflexively grabbed Lin Xuan’s hand and twisted it, dislocating his shoulder in an instant.

“sh*t!”

Lin Xuan suddenly woke up from his slumber, gritting his teeth, “Hua Bao, are you trying to m*rder your husband?”

It was her Ah Xuan.

Su Hua’s face froze. Seeing Lin Xuan sweating profusely and looking extremely pained, she felt a pang of guilt.

“I didn’t realize it was you.”

In her dreams, there were only battles, and she mistook her Ah Xuan for an enemy.

“Just bear with it.” Su Hua gently repositioned Lin Xuan’s dislocated wrist.

Lin Xuan silently stared at his swollen arm.

Who knows which day Su Hua might not recognize him and end up killing him…

Su Hua fetched some medicinal wine and began applying it to Lin Xuan’s wound.

Watching the beautiful woman attentively tending to his wounds, Lin Xuan’s gloominess disappeared instantly.

Dying in Su Hua’s hands wasn’t such a bad thing either…

“Yesterday, you had another episode,” Lin Xuan said.

“Hmm.” Su Hua paused while applying the medicine.

After a long silence, Lin Xuan could hear Su Hua’s faint whisper, “Was I very terrifying during my episodes?”

She knew that during her episodes, she became a demon, recognizing no one, not even family.

Such an unsightly version of herself, she never dared to let her Ah Xuan see. She only wanted to show him her best side.

But now, he had seen her twice.

“Indeed, it was quite terrifying.” Lin Xuan nodded.

Su Hua clenched her fists tightly.

Ah Xuan thought she was terrifying too…

“However, in my eyes, Hua Bao, no matter what form you take, I will always love you and never fear you.”

Lin Xuan’s voice seemed to have a calming effect, soothing Su Hua’s restless heart.

“Still, Hua Bao, I hope you can be safe and sound. I want to know what you went through in the past. Tell me, alright?” Lin Xuan softly said.

Su Hua pursed her lips.

Images flashed through her mind.

Since she could remember, she had been soaked in medicinal water, treated as an experiment, locked in a dark laboratory, enduring torture by those people, her body riddled with needle holes.

At the age of nine, she was finally released from that lab, the sole survivor among thirty children.

She was a drug human and also a top-tier assassin.

Someone like her was destined to be unloved and despised, her world filled with bloodshed and betrayal…

How could she possibly tell Ah Xuan about these things?

Su Hua seemed to be in extreme pain, trembling slightly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, her face pale and sickly.

Lin Xuan quickly hugged her, comforting her, “If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.”

After a long while, Su Hua recovered.

They had breakfast at the old house. Lin Xuan, just like in the Night Garden, fed Su Hua.

Su Guoxiong watched their intimate interaction with joy in his eyes.

Before Su Hua and Lin Xuan left,

Su Guoxiong mysteriously handed Lin Xuan two gift bags.

“Listen to grandpa, take these home. Follow the instructions and cook them accordingly. Don’t mix them up. The red one is for Hua, and the blue one is for you.”

Lin Xuan frowned.

Why did he feel these weren’t good things?
