Chapter 454: Not Enough Yet…
A flicker of amusement crossed Su Hua’s eyes as her soft arms wrapped around Lin Xuan’s neck once more. The woman giggled softly, then leaned in close to Lin Xuan’s ear, her breath like orchids brushing against his lobe. “Do you really think one little kiss is enough to placate me, Ah Xuan?” Su Hua’s red lips occasionally grazed Lin Xuan’s earlobe. “It’s not nearly enough.” “Ah Xuan needs to put in a better performance, huh?” Lin Xuan could only lower his head and capture Su Hua’s lips again. Su Hua closed her eyes, passively receiving Lin Xuan’s kisses the entire time. From the study, to the sofa, and finally onto the bed. Their clothes scattered on the floor, ripples of passion rippling through the room. —— The next day. Lin Xuan woke up exhausted, finding that the little lady by his side had already disappeared. Lin Xuan exhaled a mouthful of stale air. No wonder Hua Bao was called the destined daughter by the heavens; she was truly strong in that department. With the help of the space, he barely managed to keep up. Sitting at the dining table after finishing breakfast, Butler Wang approached with a bowl of medicine, smiling. “Young Master Lin, here’s the Ten-Ingredient Great Tonic Soup,” Butler Wang said with a grin. “Eat this, and you’ll recover faster.” And be better prepared for Miss to take advantage of you. “Thanks, Butler Wang,” Lin Xuan smoothly took the Ten-Ingredient Great Tonic Soup. “Not at all, not at all, it’s all part of my job,” Butler Wang smiled warmly. The sooner Young Master Lin and Miss get closer, the sooner I can hold Little Miss or Little Master. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan tilted his head back and drank the Ten-Ingredient Great Tonic Soup in one go. “Sigh,” Lin Xuan looked at the empty bowl in his hand and sighed deeply. The first time Butler Wang brought him this soup, he despised it immensely. But reality always wins in the end. “Young Master Lin, may I ask…” Butler Wang rubbed his hands together, gossiping, “Did Miss Feng Yaya ever contact you?” “No,” Lin Xuan shook his head. “I haven’t seen her since Lin Li’s wedding.” Butler Wang frowned. She hasn’t contacted Young Master Lin? Could it be that she only has a slight fondness for Young Master Lin and doesn’t intend to pursue him? “Butler Wang,” Lin Xuan looked puzzled, “Why are you asking about this?” “Nothing, nothing, just casual curiosity,” Butler Wang touched his nose and chuckled. He couldn’t say he wanted to watch the drama, right? If Feng Yaya pursued Young Master Lin and Miss found out, Miss would definitely get jealous. Once Miss gets jealous, Young Master Lin would be in trouble. But now it seems Feng Yaya doesn’t plan to pursue Young Master Lin, so there will be no show for him to watch. Butler Wang felt quite regretful. “Is that so?” Lin Xuan half-believed and retracted his gaze. After eating breakfast, Lin Xuan lay down on the bed, and at the same time, his consciousness entered the space. He intended to continue researching ways to treat Su Hua’s illness. Su Hua’s condition was too rare; there were no cases like hers in the other world. He could only explore step by step. Hua Bao’s disease was mainly psychological. He believed treatment should address both her physical and mental health simultaneously. Physically, he believed he would eventually find a way to cure Hua Bao, but mentally, what Hua Bao hid deep inside was tightly concealed. That time from the leader Zhao Long of the Shang Organization, he barely uncovered a bit of the truth. Moreover, his three months of lost memory might also affect Hua Bao’s condition. To thoroughly understand Hua Bao’s past experiences, he probably needed to see Zhao Long again. Lin Xuan furrowed his brow while flipping through various medical books. He had to devise a foolproof plan to meet Zhao Long again, achieving his purpose without putting himself in danger. Lin Xuan continued researching Hua Bao’s condition within the space, occasionally visiting the company. —— Lin Li suffered greatly from Feng Yaya’s torture and lay in the hospital for over a week before being discharged. He feared that Lin Chang would really bring Lin Xuan back, so after being discharged, Lin Li didn’t rest and immediately returned to work. He had to quickly climb to a core position in the company and siphon its assets into his name. The employees of Starlight Group all knew about Lin Li becoming a eunuch. Over a week had passed, and the discussion about him had slightly diminished, but when Lin Li came to the company, the topic of him being a eunuch resurfaced. Of course, they dared not discuss it openly in front of Lin Li. They only whispered behind his back. “Did you see? Today when Lin Li came, his face was still covered in red marks. Looks like he got beaten pretty badly.” “If you do too many evil deeds, it’s easy to get revenge. Who made him cheat on his wife and commit bigamy? Pfft, turning into a eunuch and still thinking about marrying someone else.” “Yeah, I bet Lin Li got beaten up by the Feng family.” “Truly, knowing someone’s appearance doesn’t mean knowing their true nature. Someone who looks so gentle and refined turns out to be so dirty behind the scenes.” “Lin Li’s true face has been completely exposed. I doubt any girl will fall for his tricks anymore.” “I think Lin Xuan is much better. In terms of ability, character, and looks, Lin Li can’t compare to him. I wonder if the Chairman regrets kicking Lin Xuan out of the Lin family and keeping Lin Li.” They discussed fiercely, completely unaware that Lin Li had already walked behind them and heard every word. Lin Li’s face turned pitch black. Who gave these lowly people the guts to talk about him? He wished he could fire them all! But he couldn’t. He still needed to win people’s hearts. He wasn’t ready to deal with them yet. Lin Li’s gaze swept over the faces of every employee discussing him. When he became the Chairman of Starlight Group, the first thing he would do upon ascending would be to fire them all. One employee noticed Lin Li approaching. His body trembled slightly as he shouted loudly, “Mr. Lin!” The discussion abruptly stopped. The employees who had been talking animatedly turned stiffly, seeing Lin Li indeed standing there. Damn! They had just been badmouthing Lin Li, and the next second, Lin Li appeared. Had Lin Li heard everything they said? The employees stood trembling on the side, heads bowed. Lin Li took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and put on a friendly expression. “You don’t need to be nervous. This was indeed a mistake on my part, and you’re right to discuss me. However, it’s working hours now, and everyone should be busy instead of gossiping here.” “Yes, Mr. Lin, we’ll get to work right away.” Those employees didn’t dare to linger any longer and quickly left. Lin Li’s face remained grim. These people, they’d better wait for him! —— Thanks to Super Dragon-sama for summoning the role! Babies, how many red packets have you received these days? Let me start, four hundred bucks, plus the subsequent red packets, it should be only a little over five hundred… Pitiful.
