"Asshole! I''m going to kill you!"


    Upon hearing Su Chen''s words, Lin Ruoxue snapped! She stormed toward him barefoot.


    This guy clearly took advantage, and yet he acted innocent, even saying that her saliva was poison when she hadn''t evenined about his fingers being germy!


    Su Chen hadn''t expected Lin Ruoxue''s reaction to be so intense, and, scared, he turned and ran.


    "You were the one who wanted to eat, not me!" Su Chen called out as he ran, "Besides, it was you eating me, not the other way around, why are you overreacting!"


    The more Lin Ruoxue listened, the angrier and more embarrassed she became. This guy was shameless, mes of anger shooting from her beautiful eyes!


    "Su Chen, stop right there!" Lin Ruoxue suddenly stood still, hands on her hips, and yelled.


    Seeing that she had stopped, Su Chen stopped too. Standing about three or four meters apart, Su Chen pursed his lips and said:


    "Don''t be mad, I''ll just lick your fingers too and then we''ll be equal, okay? I promise I won''t mind."


    "Su Chen, you big asshole, I''m not giving up until I kill you today!"


    By this time, Lin Ruoxue''s heart was aze with towering rage, her eyes nearly crimson!


    Once again, she started chasing Su Chen around the living room but every time she nearly caught up to him, he would twist away and escape.


    Because of this, Lin Ruoxue''s mounting rage was impossible to vent, growingrger by the moment as if it would ignite at any second.


    "Young master, miss, please stop your antics. You''re not tired from running, but my eyes are tired from watching you."


    Wang Ma, caught betweenughter and tears, found the two chasing each other in the living room both hrious and heartwarming!


    Unknowingly, her eyes filled with tears. Wang Ma stealthily wiped her eyes with her sleeve.


    Just then, Lin Ruoxue caught up to Wang Ma and, turning her head, saw her wiping away tears. She immediately stopped in her tracks.


    "Wang Ma, why are you crying?"


    Forgoing the chase, Lin Ruoxue hurried over to ask Wang Ma.


    Since Su Chen was farther away, hearing that Wang Ma was crying, he too approached:


    "What''s happened, Wang Ma?"


    "Nothing, nothing, miss, young master, I''m just happy," Wang Ma replied, stopping her crying and smiling.


    "Then tell me, Wang Ma, what''s got you so happy? I want to hear too," Lin Ruoxue said, smiling curiously as she held Wang Ma''s hand.


    Wang Ma patted the back of Lin Ruoxue''s hand and sighed:


    "I''m happy seeing how close the miss and the young master are now."


    "Wang Ma, are you blind? How can you say we''re close?" Lin Ruoxue suddenly widened her eyes. They had just been fighting ferociously, and yet Wang Ma said their rtionship was good?


    "Of course, miss, haven''t you heard? Fighting is an expression of endearment, scolding is a form of love," Wang Ma said humorously, ncing at Lin Ruoxue, "It really worried me back when you and the young master wouldn''t even speak to each other."


    Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue''s cheeks flushed a deeper red, and her voice became slightly coyer:


    "Wang Ma, what are you talking about? Fighting is love, scolding is endearment? That sounds terrible."


    But in her heart, she contemted how her rtionship with Su Chen had indeed changed recently, his image frequently appearing in her mind.


    Sometimes when he wasn''t at home, it felt as though something was missing, leaving her feeling somewhat empty.


    No, what am I thinking? Since when did this guy be so important?


    Lin Ruoxue kept trying to justify the changes in her heart, when suddenly she saw Su Chen sneakily winking at her, looking as annoying as ever.


    Lin Ruoxue immediately found her reason, believing that the reason she kept thinking about him was entirely because this guy had be more and more annoying.


    Yes, it must be that!


    At that moment, Mrs. Wang also took Su Chen''s big hand and ced it on the back of Lin Ruoxue''s hand, then held it tightly:


    "Miss, young master, you must take good care of each other. That way, even if I die, I''ll rest easy."


    "Mrs. Wang, don''t talk about dying, it''s so unlucky!"


    Lin Ruoxue pouted, speaking unhappily.


    "Miss, at my age, there''s nothing left to avoid," Mrs. Wang said with a slight smile. "Over these past days, I''ve seen that the young master is a rare good man; you should cherish him! Not to criticize you, miss, but your temper could use some adjusting as well."


    "What! Mrs. Wang, what''s gotten into you today? Talking all this nonsense. Where is he good? He is clearly a big bad guy!"


    Lin Ruoxue slightly pouted her moist cherry lips and huffed, looking every bit the young woman she was!


    Mrs. Wang affectionately stroked Lin Ruoxue''s hair and turned to instruct Su Chen:


    "Young master, if I''m gone one day, you must be good to the miss and protect her in every way."


    "Mrs. Wang, what are you saying? I see you living many more decades easily. Besides, we''ll need your help to look after our children in the future!"


    Su Chen noticed Mrs. Wang''s mncholic mood, so he teased her deliberately.


    "Alright, alright," Mrs. Wang immediately gleamed with excitement, "if that day reallyes, I''ll be waking up smiling even in my dreams."


    Mrs. Wang had taken care of Lin Ruoxue since she was a child and, having no children of her own, had long considered her as her own daughter. So, hearing Su Chen say this, she couldn''t stop smiling.


    "Don''t worry, Mrs. Wang, that day will definitelye, and not just one, we n to have a whole ss for you to look after, so you better take good care of yourself."


    "Alright, alright, don''t worry, I can handle even more children," Mrs. Wang looked at Su Chen, liking him more and more.


    "What, do you think I''m a sow? An entire ss!"


    Listening to Mrs. Wang and Su Chen''s back-and-forth, Lin Ruoxue had already turned thoroughly red with embarrassment and finally couldn''t hold back a coquettish shout.


    "So, how many do you want to have?"


    Su Chen tilted his head, asking curiously.


    "Yeah, how many do you want to have?"


    Mrs. Wang pressed Lin Ruoxue further.


    "Have... have..." Lin Ruoxue was led astray by the two, seriously considering the question of how many to have, until she saw Su Chen''s mischievous expression and finally snapped back, "Have your big-headed ghost! Who wants to have kids with you!"


    After saying that, she turned and ran upstairs, heading straight into her room, followed by the sound of a door mming shut.


    Su Chen and Mrs. Wang caught each other''s nce and burst intoughter simultaneously...


    .....


    Meanwhile, in a vi''s study in the Eastern District of Jianghai, a dim deskmp was on.


    Sitting behind the desk was a man in his forties, his temples slightly graying, his face appearing quite schrly, yet the shine in his eyes added a sharpness to his demeanor.


    And seated across the desk was a young man, with a noble air, perfectly tailored clothes entuating his fine physique.


    "You''ve been pursuing the Lin Family girl for over a year now. Any progress?"


    The middle-aged man looked at the young man and asked indifferently.
