The sky had cleared up by the next day. When the warm winter sunlight stread into the room, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Lin Ruoxue, who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and a smile of happiness appeared on his face.
After the significant events of the previous day, Lin Ruoxue was feeling sowhat anxious, which is why she had asked Su Chen to sleep with her.
This was the first ti Lin Ruoxue had truly extended such an invitation, and Su Chen naturally would not refuse.
As one might expect, sharing a bed with a beauty like Lin Ruoxue, how could Su Chen stay well-behaved?
Their two-hour long offensive and defensive war resulted in Lin Ruoxue being pushed back step by step, losing ground repeatedly, until only her last line of defense remained unconquered!
On Lin Ruoxue's soft, white skin, marks of his love were nearly everywhere!
Su Chen looked at her breathtakingly beautiful face and gently kissed her cheek.
Although his movent was very light, it still woke Lin Ruoxue up, right around her usual waking ti anyway.
Seeing Su Chen's sneaky look, Lin Ruoxue suddenly said, not in the best of moods,
"You villain, you bullied like that yesterday, and you haven't bullied enough?"
Rembering the scenes from the previous night, Lin Ruoxue felt unbearably flustered inside.
One could only say, this guy is really too bad!
"This is marital fun, how is it bullying?"
Su Chen shalessly argued.
"Shaless!"
Lin Ruoxue said indignantly, her face flushing as she prepared to get out of bed.
"Wife, it's still early. Let's sleep a little longer!"
Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue back into his arms, and his hands started wandering again.
He now fully understood the saying, "A short night in spring is soon over, henceforth the king rises late."
If he had been a king in ancient tis, with a consort like Lin Ruoxue, he wouldn't have wanted to hold morning court either.
For a mont, Su Chen even felt he had the makings of a negligent monarch.
"It's still early? It's already seven o'clock."
Lin Ruoxue pushed Su Chen away forcefully. If this continued, she wouldn't need to go to work at all.
Su Chen then leaned against the headboard, bare-chested, and lit a cigarette.
He did not know when an ashtray had appeared on Lin Ruoxue's bedside table.
While smoking, Su Chen watched Lin Ruoxue get dressed, marveling at how breathtakingly beautiful his wife was.
Lin Ruoxue turned her head and caught his intense gaze, feeling a rush of shy embarrassnt.
"What are you staring at?"
Lin Ruoxue asked with a deliberately cold expression.
"Because my wife is beautiful, of course."
Su Chen took a drag off his cigarette and casually smiled.
"Smooth talker!"
Although Lin Ruoxue said this, she was actually very pleased inside, feeling sweeter than if she had eaten honey.
After finishing his cigarette, Su Chen also got up, since staying in bed without his beauty held no appeal.
Getting dressed was much simpler for Su Chen than for Lin Ruoxue; it took him less than a minute.
After washing up, the two of them went downstairs together, where Aunt Sun had already prepared breakfast.
It was the first ti she saw the young couple co out of the sa room in the morning, and she was sowhat surprised!
After breakfast, Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue still went to work one after the other.
For Su Chen, it seed like yesterday's events hadn't affected him at all.
However, Lin Ruoxue had repeatedly expressed her concerns last night, fearing retaliation from the families. But after Su Chen repeatedly assured her that everything would be fine, she felt slightly reassured.
Lin Ruoxue did not go directly to her office but instead took a detour to that hotel.
Su Chen then drove straight to his office, although he wasn't worried about himself, he was sowhat worried about Lin Ruoxue.
After all, Lin Ruoxue only had two Shadow Guards, one at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinent and the other at the Qi Refinent Peak, but these were still rather ager defenses against the major families.
Previously, when his identity had not been exposed, there hadn't been a problem. Now, the situation was different; unable to find any opportunity against him, they might inevitably turn their attention towards Lin Ruoxue.
After so thought, Su Chen decided to call the Demon halfway through his commute to arrange for one of Group A's action teams to co over.
The Nether Temple's Group A action team was strong enough to contend with three or four people at the Qi Refinent Peak, which was why Group A had only two action squads.
In Su Chen's view, having two Shadow Guards and a squad from the Nether Temple's Group A would likely ensure everything would be fine.
The Demon was naturally very excited to receive a call from Su Chen, and even the usually reticent man's voice cracked with emotion.
However, the Demon inford him that both squads of Group A were currently on missions. They wouldn't be able to return for another three days at the earliest.
The Demon did ask if he wanted two of Group B's squads to be sent as a temporary asure until one of Group A's squads could replace them.
Su Chen thought it over but decided it was unnecessary, two or three days shouldn't pose a big problem.
He certainly could continue to deploy more Shadow Guards, but since Shadow Guards were his trump card, he preferred to use them as sparingly as possible.
He believed that even if the Five Great Families took action, they wouldn't do it so soon; they would probably wait a few days for the scandal to cool down a bit.
After returning to the company, Su Chen went back to his office, brewed a cup of tea, crossed his legs, and began enjoying the latest issue of "n's Wear" magazine.
After flipping through it two or three tis, he then started playing Dou Dizhu on his computer.
Life went on as usual, leisurely, as if nothing had happened.
But had really nothing happened?
Obviously, that was impossible.
That very morning, Yandu had already exploded!
After all, it was very rare to see the Five Great Families in such a collectively embarrassing situation!
Especially for Situ Lei, the eldest scion of the Situ Family, being forced to kneel and apologize was unbelievable and incredible.
When it was discovered that all of this was caused by a man in his twenties, the shock was even greater!
Although there was no news report, just one morning was enough for all sorts of rumors to fly everywhere.
The Five Great Families were helpless in this situation; they couldn't stop people from gossiping!
That day, the young masters of the Five Great Families stayed very consciously at ho, not venturing out.
Especially those who had been slapped by Su Chen the day before, they beca unusually well-behaved.
However, none of this had the slightest impact on Su Chen; he continued to eat and drink as usual.
In the afternoon, he even had a cordial "heart-to-heart" with so of the beautiful ladies from the Public Relations departnt!
In the evening, he received a call from Qi ng inviting him for dinner.
Naturally, Su Chen was more than happy to accept the invitation...
