Chapter 453: His Cousin
Su Hua’s eyes grew darker and a murderous intent began to swirl around her.
She didn’t want these relatives of Ah Xuan popping up.
The more close relatives there were, the more attention Ah Xuan would have to give them.
What she wanted was for Ah Xuan to be completely focused on her.
If it were anyone else, she’d make them leave Yun City and never appear in front of Ah Xuan again. But this was the Jiang family.
Even she couldn’t just move against them easily.
Jiang felt the chill from Su Hua and tried to comfort her, “Boss Su, don’t worry. The Jiang family is on bad terms with Jiang Shuqin. They’ve completely cut ties. The Jiang family might not even recognize Young Master Lin.”
Even though Jiang said this, the cold aura around Su Hua did not dissipate at all.
“Jiang,” Su Hua took a deep breath and said, “Hide the relationship between Ah Xuan and Jiang Shuqin online. If they find out that Ah Xuan is from the Lin family, let them think Lin Li is Jiang Shuqin’s son and Ah Xuan was adopted.”
“Yes, Boss Su.”
Jiang had anticipated that Su Hua would prevent Brother Lin Xuan from connecting with the Jiang family. She wasn’t surprised by Su Hua’s arrangements.
Meanwhile,
Lin Xuan had accidentally spilled coffee on himself while drinking it and went to take a shower.
He came out wearing pajamas through the door that connected his bedroom to the study. These pajamas were personally picked out by Su Hua. With her good taste and his natural charm, he looked like he was walking down a runway.
After his shower, he looked especially handsome and dashing.
Even Jiang Qing couldn’t help but glance at him a few extra times.
“Secretary Jiang, why are you still working so late?” Lin Xuan casually asked.
“Hmm, I have some things to report to Boss Su,” Jiang Qing nodded.
In reality, she could’ve arranged for someone to deliver the documents.
But it was too dramatic, right? Wasn’t she curious about what expression Boss Su would have when she found out that Jiang Yutong was actually Young Master Lin’s blood-related cousin?
Su Hua’s voice was icy, “Once the work report is done, you can leave.”
Jiang Qing heard the displeasure in Su Hua’s voice, shivered, and quickly nodded, “Yes, I’ll leave right away.”
Jiang Qing didn’t dare to delay and quickly left the study.
“Hua Bao, what’s this?” Lin Xuan walked over to Su Hua and saw the name “Jiang Yutong” on the first page of the investigation file.
Su Hua noticed Lin Xuan’s gaze and calmly closed the file.
“It’s nothing. Just preparing for a cooperation deal with the Jiang family. I need to investigate them.”
“Oh.”
Lin Xuan didn’t suspect anything.
He glanced at the files on Su Hua’s computer, thinking that during those seven days, Hua Bao had been with him constantly and must have accumulated quite a bit of work. He shouldn’t bother her.
Lin Xuan was about to go back to his own desk when Su Hua suddenly stood up, grabbed him, and pinned him against the desk.
The scent of her perfume wafted into Lin Xuan’s nose.
This position…
Lin Xuan involuntarily swallowed.
“Hua, Hua Bao, what’s wrong?” Lin Xuan asked nervously.
“A Xuan, who’s more important to you—me or your family?” Su Hua lightly nibbled on Lin Xuan’s Adam’s apple.
Lin Xuan felt a tingling sensation.
“Gulp.” His Adam’s apple moved slightly.
“Of course it’s you, Hua Bao.” Lin Xuan answered without hesitation, “You know how the Lin family treats me. I’m getting revenge on them now. How could I possibly think they’re important?”
“So, they don’t even deserve to be compared to you.”
He wasn’t some masochist. The Lin family had never shown him any familial affection. He suffered from emotional neglect and random beatings in the Lin family, which made him develop an inferiority complex. If it weren’t for the Lin family, he wouldn’t have been so obsessed with Qin Ruoyao.
To say it bluntly, the Lin family indirectly caused his demise.
In the previous life, he saw the Lin family’s cold faces when they learned of his death.
If he still thought the Lin family was important, then he’d be a masochist.
Su Hua pursed her lips, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Xuan’s answer.
Lin Xuan felt the coldness emanating from Su Hua grow heavier instead of dissipating, leaving him puzzled.
Was there something wrong with his answer?
Why did Hua Bao seem unsatisfied?
Lin Xuan racked his brain, trying to figure out if he had said something wrong.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t find anything inappropriate.
Su Hua’s delicate fingers traced Lin Xuan’s chest.
She raised an eyebrow, “So, A Xuan, does that mean if relatives treat you well, you would consider them important?”
What if the Jiang family recognizes A Xuan in the future and treats him exceptionally well? Would A Xuan start valuing them highly?
A Xuan had never experienced familial affection from the Lin family, yet he used to pour his heart out for them. What would he do for the Jiang family if they treated him well?
Would he value the Jiang family more?
A wave of intense unease rose in Su Hua’s heart. She was truly afraid that A Xuan would value the Jiang family more than her.
The Jiang family and the Su family had always been at odds. What if they made A Xuan leave her?
“Absolutely not.” Lin Xuan held up two fingers to swear, “Hua Bao, no matter who appears in the future, none of them will ever be as important as you. You will always be my top priority.”
Su Hua pursed her lips.
Ah Xuan was probably just trying to comfort her.
But what if this day really comes?
At the thought of someone trying to take Lin Xuan away from her, Su Hua had an urge to kill.
A bloodthirsty look appeared in Su Hua’s eyes.
If they dared to do such a thing, she would destroy them at all costs.
Then she would lock Lin Xuan up so he couldn’t leave her.
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows, full of confusion.
Why was Hua Bao still acting strangely?
Hua Bao used to not care too much about the Lin family stuff. Why was she suddenly so concerned about the Lin family now?
It seemed there was only one method left.
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan directly kissed her red lips.
Su Hua’s eyes sparkled.
Ah Xuan really knew how to comfort her. There was no denying it, this method of his worked wonders.
The coldness around Su Hua slowly faded away.
Ah Xuan, whatever you do in the future, better match what you said…
Lin Xuan pulled away from Su Hua’s lips. Her eyes were hazy, filled with a layer of mist, and her face was flushed with a rosy hue. She exuded a seductive charm.
Seeing this side of Su Hua, Lin Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
He quickly averted his gaze.
“Hua Bao, do you believe me now?” Lin Xuan said.
