"You really don't mind?"
Su Chen asked with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
"No."
Lin Ruoxue emitted a delicate sound through her nose.
"If you really don't mind, then give your husband a hug."
Su Chen said, sitting down by the bed and spreading his arms open.
"What are you doing, my parents are still here? Hurry up and go!"
Lin Ruoxue blushed and pushed him.
It had been a long ti since Su Chen had seen Lin Ruoxue so shy. Seeing it return was a delightful sight to his eyes!
"Since my wife refuses to hug , then I'll just hug you!"
Su Chen said, and without waiting for Lin Ruoxue's consent, he hugged her, feeling her warm body temperature.
"It seems we've beco a hindrance here, we'd better leave."
Lin Wenqing sighed at Zhang Xinlan.
"Mom and Dad, why are you teasing too?"
Now, Lin Ruoxue's pretty face blushed even more, like a blooming flower.
"Aren't you leaving yet!"
After that, she glared at Su Chen again; this guy was brazen-faced! With her parents still around, he actually dared to...
"Okay, I'll go now. My wife, you take good rest."
Su Chen gently kissed Lin Ruoxue's forehead and dodged before she could punch him with her small fist. He then walked out of the ward with a cheery smile.
"This guy!"
Lin Ruoxue muttered sowhat frustrated and angry.
Looking at the couple's playful banter, Lin Wenqing couldn't help but smile knowingly...
......
"Mrs. Wang!"
Having been back for several days, this was Su Chen's first ti returning to the villa, so he called out as soon as he entered the door, wearing the most relaxed expression he had in days, since Lin Ruoxue was awake and he could finally be at ease!
"Young master-in-law, you're finally back!"
Mrs. Wang ca out with a joyful expression:
"Eh, where's Miss? Hasn't she returned from her business trip yet?"
"Hmm, I'm afraid it'll take a few more days—there's a bit of a complication."
Su Chen nodded and said, to avoid worrying Mrs. Wang, he had contacted her the night he ca back, telling her that Ruoxue had gone on a business trip in a hurry and didn't manage to greet her.
Mrs. Wang naturally didn't suspect anything; it was just that this ti the trip was a little longer than usual, as before, it had been at most two or three days.
After a brief chat with Mrs. Wang, Su Chen went to take a shower. He felt much refreshed after the shower, then he shaved and changed into clean clothes.
Then, after eating sothing simple, he drove out again. Now that most matters were settled, it was ti to start his cultivation practice again, as he had fallen behind quite a bit due to Ruoxue's incident.
When he arrived at the manor, he was unexpectedly surprised to find Xu Xinran was at ho.
"Aren't you supposed to work today?"

Su Chen asked, sowhat puzzled.
"None of your business!"
"Please, you're a woman and a police officer, can't you speak more civilly?"
Su Chen thought to himself, why was this girl so fiery and still giving him the cold shoulder? After all, he was kind of her landlord, wasn't he?
"Being civil to a dog doesn't an I have to be civil to scum like you!"
Xu Xinran snorted coldly and headed for her room.
"Stop right there!"
Su Chen suddenly shouted, and Xu Xinran indeed stopped in her tracks at his yell.
"What else do you want?"
Xu Xinran asked, her voice cold and sowhat puzzled.
"Co here; let's have a proper talk,"
Su Chen sighed softly.
"I have nothing to talk about with soone like you!"
Xu Xinran retorted and turned to leave again.
"Do you like ?"
Just as she was about to walk away, Su Chen's voice abruptly rang out from behind her.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Xu Xinran trembled slightly, her cheeks instantly flushing red, but she still spat out stubbornly,
"Don't flatter yourself. How could I possibly like you?!"
Her tone was clearly flustered. After speaking without turning her head, she quickly stepped into the bedroom, and then the sound of the door slamming shut with a "bang" echoed behind her.
Su Chen, hearing that door close, couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
He had been trying to figure out why Xu Xinran had suddenly beco so cold and even hostile towards him. This change seed to have started after the day he rolled in the sheets with Eniel and returned here. The only explanation he could think of was that this girl had fallen for him too, and seeing the marks of another woman on him, she had gotten angry and jealous.
So, he had just tried to probe a little, and the result seed to confirm his guess.
If it had been the Su Chen of the past, having such a beautiful, hot-bodied policewoman liking him would have been sothing he could only wish for.
But now, what he felt was mostly trouble. He was already filled with guilt towards Xia Qiuru, Ye i, and Xiao Yaning, among others; he did not want another person to owe sothing to, yet he found himself in debt once more.
"It seems like having too many romantic debts is really troubleso!"
Su Chen shook his head with a sigh and went back to his room to continue his cultivation...
...
These past few days, Su Chen had been vigilantly staying in the hospital with Lin Ruoxue. He was unaware that the entire Jiangnan had already been in a complete uproar!
And naturally, the reason was a series of major incidents that had recently occurred in the Liu Family!
Nobody expected that the father and son of the Liu family would die overnight, and that straightaway, the whole Liu family would be hit hard by the state's iron fist!
In just one short day, one of the Four Great Families, the Liu Family, was already reeling in the storm...
The whole thing seed to have happened without any warning, occurring so suddenly that the entire upper echelon of Jiangnan was caught off guard!
As a result, those powerful bigwigs started investigating everywhere, trying to figure out what had actually happened. But surprisingly, despite such a huge incident, hardly any information leaked out.
The people of the Liu Family were even more tight-lipped, not daring to ntion what happened at the Liu family mansion that night, let alone the seemingly ordinary young man involved!
However, the less they found, the more these upper-class people felt the eeriness and extraordinariness of the situation!
They were sure there must be soone with sky-high power operating from behind the scenes; otherwise, the situation would not be what it was now!
As for who that person was, that remained an even greater mystery...
As for the majority of the business community, after the initial shock, they fully displayed their rcantile nature and launched an attack on the industries controlled by the Liu Family!
It was well-known that many had long coveted the assets of the Liu Family, and not taking advantage of this golden opportunity would be a disgrace to themselves.
Belle Group naturally didn't want to fall behind either, but because Lin Ruoxue was absent, they only snatched up a little bit.
In the end, the ones who gained the most were still the other three of the Four Great Families!
Although they snatched quite a bit of good stuff from the Liu Family, they couldn't feel happy.
Because the fall of the Liu Family had them terrified, the fate of the rabbit forebodes the fate of the fox; they had always believed that the Four Great Families were invincible, but the mighty Liu Family had disappeared just like that...
