My Super Beautiful Lady Boss

At this moment, Huo Dongshan felt so desperate he wanted to commit suicide, his whole body curled up on the ground like a dead dog, feeling very miserable in his heart. Only now did he realize that there truly are many people in this world whom he absolutely cannot afford to offend.

Years of smooth sailing had made him somewhat arrogant, always thinking that in the Imperial Capital, he was the biggest, with no one being his match.

When he learned that Su Xuan was an outsider, he naturally felt very cocky, thinking that a foreigner couldn’t possibly be his opponent. In his eyes, apart from the Four Great Families in the Imperial Capital, no one could stand up to him, so he was absolutely confident in his ability to defeat his opponent.

Who would have thought that by accident, he’d hit a brick wall, one so unforgettable that Huo Qiyun saw it as the greatest shame of his life. How could he not also see it as the greatest shame, having ended up groveling like a dog with his son? Just thinking about it was a disgrace beyond compare.

He later discovered just how terrifying Su Xuan was. Before him, in just a few days, Su Xuan had swallowed up the entire Shi Family’s estate, yet he had grossly underestimated his own capabilities. Looking back, he felt an urge to cry alone in the bathroom.

After Su Xuan wiped out the Huo Family, he didn’t bother with such affairs anymore. He even neglected taking over the Huo family’s hotel, choosing instead to let the brothers from the Redemption Sect divide it among themselves.

Su Xuan clearly knew he didn’t have much time to deal with such things. Just one real estate venture already exhausted him, so he naturally wouldn’t consider anything else.

Upon returning to the company, Su Xuan brought Cheng Ling’er back to his office. He was still a bit frustrated today, annoyed by the audacity of those shameless people who dared to be so brash.

But for Cheng Ling, it was sheer delight. Following Su Xuan back to the office, she sat on the sofa, seemingly daydreaming with a silly smile. Initially, Su Xuan didn’t notice, but seeing her silly grin, he also felt curious!

"Ling’er, what are you grinning about?"

Su Xuan gently asked, genuinely curious, wondering what had made the girl this happy as if she’d found a laughter ticket.

"Not telling you!"

Her face blushing, Cheng Ling’er said teasingly, her eyes full of affection. Su Xuan scratched his head, pondering what was going on. However, he didn’t dwell on it, instead opening his computer to get to work. At the moment, he was quite busy; the mess he inherited was indeed quite a mess!

"Ling’er, feel free to look around, I’ll be busy for a bit!"

Su Xuan said, starting to type continuously on the computer, flipping through documents at times, making phone calls at others. Honestly, he was really busy. Cheng Ling’er, sitting on the sofa, propped her chin with both hands, watching Su Xuan work with a serious look and a faint smile on her lips, feeling very happy inside.

Cheng Ling’er kept reminiscing about what Su Xuan had said before: "Even dare touch my woman." She was his woman, and thinking about those words, she felt truly happy, with a sweetness rising from her heart.

Su Xuan didn’t notice the birdlike thoughts of this girl; at the moment, he was focused on his work, having neglected Luo Tianyi lately. Last time, Luo Tianyi’s father had mentioned going to the World Martial Arts Meeting. He wasn’t sure if it was coming up soon.

"Big Brother Su, have some tea!"

Just then, Su Xuan heard a soft voice. Without knowing when, Cheng Ling’er had brought him a steaming cup of hot water. Looking at her, he revealed a gentle smile and accepted the tea, drinking a few sips before saying.

"Ling’er, are you already twenty this year?"

Su Xuan knew Cheng Ling’er’s age was quite young, considering she should have celebrated her birthday just recently!

"Yeah, I just turned twenty a while ago!"

Cheng Ling’er, lying in front of Su Xuan with both hands supporting her chin, watched him work adorably. In her heart, she admired Su Xuan deeply, convinced that he was truly talented both mentally and physically, with efficiency that was unrivaled.

"If you meet someone suitable at school, you could pursue a relationship. There are many real talents at Huaqing University!"

Su Xuan casually mentioned, thinking that campus romance was quite nice, considering there’s plenty of time to date and understand each other.

Given that it’s such a prestigious school, it should be great for a couple to both graduate from such an institution.

"I already have someone I like!"

Cheng Ling’er said earnestly.

"Oh, that’s great. We can arrange a meeting someday, I’ll help you see if he’s reliable!"

Su Xuan didn’t expect anything to happen between them because, to him, there were too many women around him already, so he didn’t want to cause trouble for other girls.

"No need for meetings, the person I like is you!"

"Pfft..."

Su Xuan unintentionally spat out his tea, followed by a bout of coughing. Looking at Cheng Ling’er, he quickly said.

"Ling’er, you’re not serious, right!"

Su Xuan felt awkward; from his understanding of Ling’er, she was indeed a very conscientious person, never acting impulsively.

"Of course I’m serious. I never joke about these things. I’ve liked you for two years, and two years later, I know my heart hasn’t changed; I like you. Do you like me?"

Cheng Ling’er looked at Su Xuan earnestly and said, at that moment, Su Xuan felt he had sinned again. Oh dear, what is this dirty mess... had he troubled another young girl again?

"But...Ling’er, I have many girlfriends!"

"I know, but I don’t care. I used to think I would care, but now I realize those are just illusions; as long as I’m with you, I don’t care about anything else."

Cheng Ling’er said seriously. She used to believe a man could only marry one woman, so even though she liked Su Xuan, she never had any unrealistic thoughts, thinking their timing was off, meeting the right person at the wrong time, considering herself just a passerby.

But seeing Su Xuan again made her realize she couldn’t let him go; his existence lingered in her heart constantly.

"Big Brother Su, do you like me?"

Cheng Ling’er gazed at Su Xuan with eyes filled with affection, speaking expectantly. This was her first time confessing so straightforwardly to a boy, feeling both excited and nervous.
