"Deliver a ssage to the Wang Family," Lin Xiao said, his tone frigid. "Tell them if they really want their clan annihilated, they should keep courting death!"
Frankly, Lin Xiao wasn’t soone who liked to solve problems with violence. However, he sotis had to admit that it was the best solution for many issues. It saved ti and prevented a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Lin Xiao’s words sent a shiver down Tie Shankao’s spine. The Wang Family, ranked second among the three great families of Jinhai City, possessed extraordinary power. Yet in Lin Xiao’s eyes, they seed to be nothing.
What shocked Tie Shankao wasn’t that Lin Xiao had said such a thing, but rather his identity. In fact, Tie Shankao had once discreetly asked the King of the Southern Town about Lin Xiao’s background. The response he received was that Lin Xiao’s identity was not sothing a person of his station could investigate. At that point, Tie Shankao knew Lin Xiao’s background was exceptional. After all, even his own boss, the King of the Southern Town, was extrely guarded about it.
But now, Tie Shankao felt he had still underestimated him. After all, casually threatening to wipe out a top-tier family was not sothing just anyone could do.
"Understood. I’ll contact Wang Shicheng later!"
Lin Xiao nodded. After giving Tie Shankao a few more instructions, he turned and got into the brand-new Cullinan.
Just as he returned to Chu Xiangxue’s villa, Su Qingning ca running toward him like a little deer. After only a few steps, however, she seed to feel her actions were a bit too unladylike. So, she feigned composure and approached Lin Xiao with small, asured steps instead.
Looking at the girl’s devastatingly beautiful face, her peach-blossom eyes, and her moist red lips, Lin Xiao didn’t say a word and pulled her straight into his embrace. Although they had only been apart for an hour or so, he didn’t know why, but he had missed her dearly. He just wanted to hold her tight. Perhaps because they had nearly parted ways that morning, Lin Xiao cherished her all the more now.
Su Qingning shyly buried her head in Lin Xiao’s chest. She didn’t dislike being held by him. In fact, every ti Lin Xiao held her, she felt an incredible sense of security. It was a fascinating feeling. She hadn’t felt that secure in a long ti, not since her father had passed away.
Not far away, Chu Xiangxue and Shao i’er watched the scene in the villa’s courtyard with envy.
"Sigh, I’m so envious of the Madam, being held by Stinky Daddy like that!" Shao i’er lanted.
She genuinely liked Lin Xiao. She had initially approached him on her father’s orders, but ever since seeing him for the first ti at the hospital, Shao i’er had been captivated by a strange aura he possessed. After getting to know him for so ti and receiving his help on nurous occasions, her feelings for him had beco genuine.
"I know, it’s so enviable. I wish I were the Madam right now!" Chu Xiangxue chid in, her tone tinged with sourness.
Chu Xiangxue’s feelings toward Lin Xiao were sowhat complex. Like Shao i’er, she had approached him at her father’s behest. Unlike Shao i’er, however, she hadn’t been imdiately attracted to him. Right now, she simply thought of him as a reliable and impressive person. She figured her feelings for Lin Xiao were more akin to not disliking him, or perhaps liking him just a little. It certainly didn’t amount to love.
However, Chu Xiangxue also knew she was destined to be Lin Xiao’s in this lifeti. Whether he accepted her in the end or not, she would still be his.
"Sister, what if we poison the Madam and snatch Stinky Daddy from her?" Shao i’er suddenly said with mock-murderous intent.
PFFT.
Chu Xiangxue was amused. Of course, she knew Shao i’er was joking. Their families were both mbers of the A9 Alliance, so they had known each other for a long ti. Chu Xiangxue knew that despite Shao i’er’s seductively beautiful face and exuberant personality, she was actually extrely conservative and kind-hearted deep down.
"Good idea! Let’s go buy so poison right now. After the Madam is gone, we can beco Stinky Daddy’s won. You can have him on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’ll take Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and we’ll let him rest on Sunday!"
PFFT.
Shao i’er burst out laughing, her body trembling with mirth. "Xiangxue," she said through her laughter, "you actually call him Stinky Daddy too! If your fans found out, they’d probably vomit blood."
Chu Xiangxue’s pretty face flushed red. "If you can call him that, why can’t I?" she said, feigning nonchalance. "Our status is the sa right now. And who knows, maybe he likes this sort of thing."
"Actually, Xiangxue, I can tell you don’t like Lin Xiao that much. How about this? I’ll have my dad talk to your dad and get him to rescind his order. That way, you won’t have to waste your ti on Lin Xiao, and you can be with that talented young genius from Shengjing who likes you!"
At these words, Chu Xiangxue was slightly startled. A brief, distant look clouded her beautiful eyes, but she quickly recovered.
"You wish. I’m not in the habit of helping others fulfill their desires. Besides, you seem to have plenty of suitors yourself, don’t you? Never mind that prodigy on the Human Emperor List, and isn’t that Princely Heir from the Tianshan Mountains quite smitten with you?"
Shao i’er smiled seductively. "They’re all fine, I suppose, but in my eyes, they can’t compare to even one-ten-thousandth of Stinky Daddy!"
Chu Xiangxue was taken aback by her words. "You like Lin Xiao that much?"
"I do! I’m happy just seeing him!" Shao i’er said with a radiant smile.
Chu Xiangxue was completely stunned. Shao i’er’s affection for Lin Xiao had clearly caught her by surprise. She didn’t doubt her words, because a person’s eyes couldn’t lie. Yet, Chu Xiangxue knew that Shao i’er had only t Lin Xiao a few days ago. For her to have fallen so hard for him in such a short ti... she didn’t know whether to attribute it to Lin Xiao’s imnse charm or the simple fact that Shao i’er had a thing for his type.
The comparison was jarring. Originally, Chu Xiangxue had felt that she and Lin Xiao should take things slowly. But after seeing the depth of Shao i’er’s feelings, she realized she was wrong. She couldn’t afford to take it slow anymore; she had to fall in love with Lin Xiao as quickly as possible. Only then could she avoid being at a disadvantage in her rivalry with Shao i’er over him.
Having made up her mind, Chu Xiangxue’s gaze fell upon Lin Xiao.
「At the sa ti.」
After dealing with the four pieces of trash Lin Xiao had just killed, Tie Shankao finally had a mont to himself. But he didn’t rest. He imdiately placed a call to Wang Shicheng, the head of the Wang Family.
