Chapter 33: The Beatdown Begins
Su Hua stared at the love letter over and over again. Was this really for her, and not for Qin Ruoyao?
The icy aura around Su Hua dissipated.
She glanced at Butler Wang, who was looking up at the ceiling, knowing absolutely nothing, nada.
After reading the entire love letter, a faint smile curved on Su Hua’s lips.
Butler Wang let out a deep sigh of relief. Young Master Lin was truly the man for the job, a walking fire extinguisher.
After finishing the love letter, Su Hua went through Brother Lin Xuan’s following message several more times.
She called Lin Xuan, “Your love letter wasn’t bad.”
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief; Su Hua wasn’t mad anymore.
“Su Hua, you can trust me. My heart is set on staying by your side now. I won’t even glance at another woman,” Lin Xuan promised earnestly.
“Ahh Xuan,” Su Hua suddenly called out.
“Hmm?”
Su Hua: “That part you sent afterward…”
Lin Xuan’s face reddened slightly.
Truth be told, not long after sending it, he regretted it. Those words were too cheesy, giving him goosebumps.
“I really like it,” Su Hua said with a faint smile tugging at her lips. “Whatever Ah Xuan wants, I’ll give it to you. I’ll wait for you at home tonight.”
Lin Xuan: “…” Indulging in such desires daily wasn’t healthy…
But Lin Xuan also sighed in relief.
It seemed Su Hua wasn’t angry anymore. This storm had finally passed.
On the surface, Ye Li appeared to be sleeping, but in reality, he’d been eavesdropping on Lin Xuan’s conversation. His expression darkened. How had Lin Xuan managed to escape this situation?
And his attitude toward Su Hua…
What was going on? Why had Lin Xuan’s feelings for Su Hua changed so quickly in such a short time?
Ye Li pretended to wake up from being disturbed by Lin Xuan and asked curiously, “Lin Xuan, was that call just now with Qin Ruoyao? Congratulations, looks like your relationship has improved!”
“The person I was talking to was Su Hua,” Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ye Li.
Ye Li… He used to trust him deeply, thinking Ye Li was his best friend besides Wang Dahé.
Turns out, he liked Su Hua! Their friendship was all a scheme.
He couldn’t forget the smug grin on Ye Li’s face when he learned about his marriage to Qin Ruoyao and Su Hua no longer contacting him.
In the previous life, Su Hua often punished him, and Ye Li played no small part in it.
Ye Li was someone he intended to deal with after coming back to life this time. If others don’t provoke him, he won’t provoke them. But if they do, retaliation will be a hundredfold!
First, he needed to teach Ye Li a good lesson.
Ye Li frowned, confused, and asked, “Lin Xuan, why have you suddenly become so nice to Su Hua?”
“Nothing much, I’ve just realized she’s pretty great. I want to be with her,” Lin Xuan replied lightly.
Ye Li panicked, “Lin Xuan, think carefully! Su Hua is crazy, crazy people can do anything! Her demands will only grow bigger. Even if you give in, one day she’ll lock you up, and then you’ll lose your freedom.” Ye Li acted as if he genuinely cared for Lin Xuan.
“That’s right, Lin Xuan, didn’t you like Qin Ruoyao? Don’t you want to be with the woman you love? If you agree to be with Su Hua, she definitely won’t let you interact with any other women!”
Lin Xuan chuckled coldly, “Ye Li, seems like you really don’t want me to be with Su Hua.”
Ye Li said, “Of course I don’t want you two together. Lin Xuan, you’re my friend. I want you to be with the woman you love.”
“In that case, let me ask you, if you truly care for me, why did you secretly send this love letter to Su Hua?”
With a “slap,” Lin Xuan slammed the love letter onto the table.
Ye Li still maintained an unperturbed demeanor, “Lin Xuan, I did it for your own good. I was trying to help you escape from Su Hua.”
“For yourself or for me? You know the truth!” Lin Xuan laughed bitterly. Qin Ruoyao, Ye Li, Lin Li… everyone around him was acting incredibly convincingly.
“Ye Li, I know you like Su Hua. Let me tell you, you have no chance. Su Hua likes me, you can’t take her away. She doesn’t look up to you.”
“When you were with me, you’ve seen Su Hua a few times, haven’t you? You’re the school prince, I’m the guy with thick-rimmed glasses and a big fringe. Even though I used to be ugly, Su Hua’s eyes were always on me. She never once gave you a second glance.”
“Ye Li, no matter how hard you try, it’s all futile.”
Nothing cuts deeper than stabbing someone in the heart.
Ye Li’s calm facade began to crack, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Indeed, Su Hua didn’t look up to him. He tried covertly seducing her, but Su Hua remained completely unmoved.
Su Hua’s eyes were solely on Lin Xuan!
He thought, only if Su Hua became utterly disappointed with Lin Xuan would he have a chance to rise!
So he kept helping Lin Xuan escape from Su Hua and tried to make Lin Xuan do things that would disgust Su Hua.
“Ye Li, before, I was blinded by you, always listening to you and crazily running away from Su Hua. Now, I’m telling you, I’ve awakened! I won’t fall for your tricks anymore!” He was determined to hold onto Su Hua!
Ye Li’s expression turned sour.
How did this fool, Lin Xuan, figure it out?
With a “bang,” Lin Xuan suddenly threw a punch at Ye Li’s face.
Struck in the mouth, Ye Li spat out blood, glaring furiously, “Lin Xuan, what are you doing?”
“Not much, just feeling a bit itchy, and you’re really annoying to look at.” Lin Xuan cracked his wrist. He’d learned a few combat techniques in the virtual space, and now was the perfect time to put them into use.
“Lin Xuan, are you insane? This is Shangqing University! Assaulting someone could get you expelled!” Ye Li gritted his teeth.
“Expelled? So what?” Su Hua was the chairman of this university, and his backing was rock solid. What was there to fear?
With another “bang,” another punch landed on Ye Li’s stomach.
Ye Li gritted his teeth and endured it.
As Lin Xuan beat him, he said, “Ye Li, no matter how excellent or handsome you are, Su Hua will never like you.”
“Just accept it, she only likes me!”
“See, no matter how I treated her before, she stayed loyal to me. Now that I’m willing to stay by her side, we’ll never separate.”
“Ye Li, I’ll keep stepping on you. I stole your title as the school prince, I took the first place that belonged to you, and the woman you like. I’ll date her, marry her, and have kids with her.”
Lin Xuan’s behavior was like that of a petty person, deliberately provoking Ye Li. Unless Ye Li retaliated, Lin Xuan wouldn’t stop.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Ye Li swung a punch at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan could have dodged, but he didn’t. He let Ye Li’s fist hit his face.
The punch was heavy enough to leave a mark.
Satisfied, Lin Xuan stopped after delivering a few more punches. He didn’t want to let Ye Li off easily, but he couldn’t go too far. If the injuries were too severe, he wouldn’t be in the right, and he wanted to maintain his image as a good citizen!
Ye Li’s handsome face was swollen around the mouth, and his eyes were almost closed.
“Lin Xuan, you’ll pay for this!” Ye Li gritted his teeth. “I’ll definitely get you expelled!”
“You go ahead and try, I’m waiting!” Lin Xuan stood there, hands in his pockets, acting all cool and nonchalant.
