Chapter 170: The Two’s Unspoken Understanding
Lin Xuan had been completely drained by a bewitching little enchantress—seriously, not a single drop left.
The two slept soundly in each other’s arms.
Before drifting off, Lin Xuan’s mind was filled with one thought.
Shit!
He’d lost… again.
—
Lin Xuan and Su Hua were utterly exhausted, only falling into a deep sleep at ten in the morning.
By six in the afternoon, when Lin Xuan woke up, Su Hua was no longer beside him.
Lying in bed, Lin Xuan wore an expression of utter despair.
Where did Su Hua get this kind of abnormal energy?
In front of Su Hua, his manly pride had been completely shattered.
Wang Dahé called Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan’s mood was far from pleasant.
“You better have something important,” Lin Xuan said coldly.
Wang Dahé shivered. “Xuanzi, did you eat explosives or something? Why is your temper so explosive today?”
Lin Xuan: “I’m in a bad mood.”
“What happened?” Wang Dahé asked curiously.
Lin Xuan: “…”
A long silence.
He couldn’t possibly tell him that Su Hua’s skills had improved greatly, winning over him once more in bed, leaving him feeling frustrated.
“Alright, what do you want?” Lin Xuan pinched the bridge of his nose.
“It’s nothing much, I just wanted to ask why you didn’t come to school today? This morning and afternoon, when I called you, your phone was off. Did something happen?” Wang Dahé asked worriedly.
Lin Xuan replied, “Accompanying my girlfriend.”
“Phew! Yesterday you said Su Zong was on a business trip, she wasn’t even in Yun City, can’t you find a better excuse?”
Wang Dahé thought Lin Xuan was making excuses to fool him.
“She came back in the middle of the night.” Lin Xuan muttered darkly.
And almost completely drained him.
Wang Dahé: “???”
“The original plan was for her to be away for two days, but…”
Lin Xuan sighed. “She’s too clingy. As soon as she left, she couldn’t wait to come back to me.”
Although his pride took a hit during the early morning and morning sessions, he mostly felt incredible satisfaction, truly flying high.
Fortunately, not many people knew that his stamina couldn’t match Su Hua’s.
“Good for you.”
Wang Dahé responded sarcastically, “I’ll hang up first, you go continue being with Su Zong then.”
The lovey-dovey stench was practically wafting through the phone to him.
He really needed to find a girlfriend.
Otherwise, Xuanzi would keep gloating in front of him all day.
After hanging up the call, Lin Xuan changed his clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as he entered the dining room, he saw Su Hua drinking something.
“Hua Bao, why does it smell like medicine? Are you sick?” Lin Xuan frowned and asked.
“No.” Su Hua put down the bowl with a flicker in her eyes, “I’ve been staying up late these few days. This is just regular health-boosting medicine.”
“If there’s nothing wrong with your body, that’s good.” Lin Xuan stopped suspecting.
Butler Wang smiled and said, “Young Master Lin, the dishes you like are still warm in the pot. I’ll bring them out for you right now.”
Butler Wang went into the kitchen, and Lin Xuan suddenly stood up from his chair.
Su Hua glanced at him.
Lin Xuan explained somewhat guiltily, “I’ll help Butler Wang.”
Lin Xuan squeezed into the kitchen.
“Butler Wang,” Lin Xuan whispered softly,
“Young Master Lin,” Butler Wang respectfully responded.
Lin Xuan carefully looked around, ensuring only the two of them could hear. He said quietly, “Butler Wang, how about the Ten-Ingredient Great Tonic Soup? Have you prepared it?”
“I’ve prepared it for Young Master Lin a long time ago.” Butler Wang smiled kindly as he ladled out a full bowl of medicinal soup from a clay pot.
Lin Xuan drank the soup in one gulp.
Butler Wang’s smile grew even more amiable.
Miss and Young Master Lin were truly a couple—they were on the same wavelength.
Nice, nice.
Work harder, strive more, and there will be hope for him to hold Little Master and Miss in the future.
Lin Xuan returned to the dining table.
His face remained calm as he ate dinner with Su Hua.

Qin Ruoyao had been in a daze ever since dropping out of Shangqing University.
“Mom, is my life over?”
Qin Ruoyao cried in Qin Mother’s arms.
“I only have a high school diploma now. My reputation is ruined; those wealthy families definitely won’t look at me.”
“I’m so heartbroken.”
She should have been a proud daughter of heaven, living a life of luxury, admired by everyone.
Instead, she lived in a dilapidated rental apartment now.
Her clothes were barely over a hundred bucks per piece, and the cosmetics she used were worth only a few hundred.
Qin Mother stroked her hair, consoling her, “My Ruoyao is so beautiful, how could your life be over?”
“Mom, what should I do now?” Tears streamed down Qin Ruoyao’s face continuously.
Qin Mother said, “With our Ruoyao’s looks, you can become a star.”
“But, my reputation isn’t good,” Qin Ruoyao pursed her lips. She had always loved the entertainment industry since childhood; she enjoyed the feeling of being adored by everyone.
However, the big wealthy families wouldn’t like stars, so she gave up.
“In the entertainment industry, black can be washed white; such scandals mean nothing. Once you’re signed by an entertainment company, they’ll naturally help clean up your image,” Qin Mother laughed.
“Mom, don’t you remember?” Qin Ruoyao’s voice choked with emotion, “Starlight Entertainment dominates half of the entertainment industry, and I caused such a huge scandal for their family. How could they possibly let me rise in the entertainment world?”
“Ruoyao, don’t worry, Mom has everything planned out for you,” Qin Mother smiled gently. “You can join Tianmu Entertainment.”
“Tianmu Entertainment?” Qin Ruoyao furrowed her brows.
Why did this name feel familiar?
“That’s correct,” Qin Mother nodded with a smile. “This company also signs many artists who have been blacklisted by Starlight Entertainment. They are clearly aiming to compete against Starlight Entertainment.”
“Mom, I’ve already investigated. Tianmu Entertainment has great potential. The artists within their company are quite average. My daughter is so beautiful. If you sign with Starlight Entertainment, they will surely train you well,” Qin Mother was confident.
Hope lit up in Qin Ruoyao’s eyes.
Yes, she could join another entertainment company.
She would become a globally renowned superstar.
“Okay,” Qin Ruoyao nodded. “Mom, I’ll follow your arrangements.”
“Mom has already submitted the application form for you. There are a few more days until the interview. During this time, you should rest well and practice acting,” Qin Mother smiled.
“Alright,” Qin Ruoyao nodded.

At the Shen residence.
“Miss,” the bodyguard said respectfully.
Shen Qianqian was sitting on the sofa wearing a pink princess dress.
Upon seeing the bodyguard, she immediately straightened her posture and asked excitedly, “How did it go? Did you find out who Brother Lin Xuan’s girlfriend is? She must not have a background as good as mine, nor is she as pretty as me, right?”
Throughout Yun City, there weren’t many women with better backgrounds than hers. Besides, she was the sole heir of the Shen Group, meaning the entire Shen Group would belong to her in the future.
Her conditions were undoubtedly better than Lin Xuan’s girlfriend’s.
