Chapter 183: Lin Xuan the Fire Extinguisher
If his girlfriend doesn’t show up, there will be no reason for Brother Lin Xuan to reject her in the future.
Another hour passed.
It has been two whole hours since Lin Xuan called Su Hua over.
“Brother Lin Xuan, stop struggling already. You don’t even have a girlfriend,” Shen Qianqian snorted.
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows.
Why is it taking so long for Su Hua to arrive? Could something have happened?
At this moment, in the Night Garden.
In a bedroom on the second floor, the atmosphere was unusually tense. Everyone had their heads bowed, trembling with fear, not daring to breathe loudly.
Clothes were scattered all over the bed and sofa.
Taking advantage of Su Hua going into the bathroom to change clothes,
the costume designer pulled Jiang Qing aside, “Jiang Secretary, tell me, what kind of clothes does Su Zong want to wear?”
“I don’t know either,” Jiang Qing said with a sullen face.
It took half an hour for makeup, and one and a half hours for trying on clothes—hundreds of outfits, yet Su Zong still hasn’t found a single one satisfactory.
She wonders what it would take for Su Zong to be satisfied.
“Whoosh!” Su Hua opened the bathroom door and walked out.
This time, she was wearing a light green cheongsam with intricate hand embroidery that perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
“Su Zong, you look amazing in this outfit,” Jiang Qing’s eyes lit up.
It wasn’t flattery; Su Hua truly suited this outfit.
The costume designer also nodded in agreement.
“Keep going,” Su Hua said coldly, still seemingly dissatisfied.
“Yes.”
The costume designer, feeling deflated, handed another outfit to Su Hua.
“This is the last one,” she frowned as she said it.
He had urgently sent his assistants to bring more clothes, but they wouldn’t arrive for another ten minutes—it was too late.
He never expected that none of these hundred-plus outfits would satisfy Su Zong.
Just as Su Hua was about to re-enter the bathroom,
Jiang Qing suddenly rushed forward with the phone.
“Su Zong, look, Young Master Lin’s message.”
On the phone screen, it read:
[Extremely beautiful! As expected, my Hua Bao looks good in anything and radiates elegance.]
A faint smile appeared on Su Hua’s lips.
“Hmm, this one then.”
The costume designer sighed in relief.
With the clothes selection done, it was now time for jewelry, handled by the stylist.
“Jiang Secretary,” the costume designer couldn’t help but pull Jiang Qing aside and ask, “What did you show Su Zong just now? She actually agreed to keep that outfit.”
Jiang Qing gave a mysterious smile, “No matter how much we praise the clothes, none of it compares to one word from him.”
Of course!
For Su Zong, bringing up Young Master Lin is always the cure-all!
Young Master Lin is Su Zong’s medicine.
The costume designer was completely baffled.
Him?
Who is he?

“Oh, it’s like this. Shen Qianqian keeps clinging onto me, I can’t get rid of her no matter what. I told her I have a girlfriend, but she didn’t believe me,” Lin Xuan gritted his teeth.
He really hated himself for attracting such unwanted attention.
No, these aren’t flowers of romance; they’re spells pushing him into a dark room.
Su Hua’s icy aura dissipated somewhat.
Jiang Qing let out a sigh of relief.
As she expected, it was all a misunderstanding.
Indeed, when it comes to calming Su Zong down, Young Master Lin is the most effective.
Through the phone, Lin Xuan continued, “Hua Bao, are you free now? I want her to see firsthand how beautiful my girlfriend is. Compared to you, she doesn’t even measure up to your little toe.”
Su Hua: “Hmm.”
“Hua Bao, I’m at the Blue Mountain Coffee Shop next to Sky Canopy Group right now. Are you free?” Lin Xuan asked.
“Alright, I’ll be there soon.”
Su Hua hung up the phone, a slight smile tugging at her lips.
Looks like she misunderstood Ah Xuan.
Jiang Qing couldn’t help but give Lin Xuan a mental thumbs-up.
Young Master Lin’s move was truly brilliant.
Bringing Su Zong to meet Shen Qianqian—genius, pure genius!
Su Hua ordered, “Call the makeup artist and the stylist over.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Qing complied.

At the Blue Mountain Coffee Shop.
Shen Qianqian frowned upon hearing Lin Xuan’s voice.
Could Brother Lin Xuan really have a girlfriend?
Perhaps he’s been protecting her identity well, which is why she hasn’t been able to find any information.
Shen Qianqian had a vague suspicion, but she refused to believe it.
“Lin Xuan, you’re just playing games with me again, right?” Shen Qianqian insisted stubbornly.
“You’re overthinking it,” Lin Xuan smirked.
Shen Qianqian came up with another guess and frowned, “Brother Lin Xuan, did you hire someone to pretend to be your girlfriend?”
“I don’t have the time for such nonsense.”
Lin Xuan had little patience for Shen Qianqian, “She’ll be here soon. Just look and you’ll know whether she’s my girlfriend or not.”
“Fine, I’d love to see who your girlfriend is.”
Shen Qianqian scoffed.
Even if Brother Lin Xuan has a girlfriend, that woman’s appearance and background surely can’t compare to hers.
Next, Shen Qianqian tried to strike up a conversation with Lin Xuan, but he didn’t even spare her a glance.
Had it not been for Shen Qianqian’s relentless pursuit,
he wouldn’t have been exhausted like a dog during those five days, nor would Su Hua have been in such a bad mood because of Shen Qianqian all this while.
Why would he bother giving Shen Qianqian any good face?
Time ticked by.
Half an hour passed, and Su Hua still hadn’t shown up.
Shen Qianqian became increasingly convinced that Lin Xuan was lying to her—he simply didn’t have a girlfriend.
He made up the lie about having a girlfriend just to make her leave him alone.
“Brother Lin Xuan, where’s your girlfriend?” Shen Qianqian humphed.
“Why so anxious?” Lin Xuan didn’t even glance up from his phone, “Girls need to put on makeup before going out. It’s normal to be late, isn’t it?”
Another half an hour passed.
Still, there was no sign of Su Hua.
“Brother Lin Xuan, could your girlfriend still be putting on makeup?” Shen Qianqian raised her chin slightly.
Lin Xuan: “Wait.”
“Then I’ll wait a bit longer,” Shen Qianqian crossed her arms, determined to stay with Brother Lin Xuan today.
As long as today…
