The next day, 5 in the morning.

The phone on the bedside table vibrated several times. Su Yuli opened his eyes in a daze, and picked it up.

The message came from a small group called “Beauty Everywhere”. The group leader is Taozi, and the group members are Su Yuli, Yang Shuo and Sasha.

They are good friends who often hang out together.

The one who sent the message was Taozi. At the top was a picture, which was taken in the hotel last night-Lin Suiyan standing in front of Su Yuli protectively while holding onto Liu Jie’s wrist and restraining him.

This photo was obviously taken secretly, but it didn’t affect Lin Suiyan’s handsomeness at all. Those eyebrows, eyes, and figure were really in line with Su Yuli’s aesthetics.

The more Su Yuli looked at it, the more he liked it. He tapped on the picture and clicked to save it. After saving the picture, he read the message.

 [Peach Fairy: Xiao Jin, come out here!! ]

[Peach Fairy: Come out! Come out! ]

 [Peach Fairy: Come on! Come out quickly! ]

Su Yuli replied: Here, Sister Taozi, good morning.

He sighed to himself. No wonder Sister Taozi always called herself a young and invincible beautiful girl. It was really enviable to be so energetic so early.

[Peach Fairy: I’m very bad. I thought that if I stayed away from you and President Lin, I wouldn’t eat dog food. Who knew that I still wouldn’t be able to escape. ] followed by a few tearful emojis.

Su Yuli was in a good mood and asked with a smile: Where did the picture come from?

Taozi sent a link to him, and Su Yuli clicked it. It turned out that yesterday’s incident was posted online by someone, along with Lin Suiyan’s statement of: “I’m with Xiao Jin only because I love him, and there is no other reason besides that.”

The wedding between Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli was known by many people in City A. The person who posted this picture obviously knows about it very well. He described in detail their love story and how sweet they were now.

A group of people in the comment section were eating lemons.

Su Yuli scrolled through the comments, and felt quite relieved. Occasionally, he came across a few KY spirits1. He didn’t want others to get started, so he brushed himself back.

Su Yuli chatted with Taozi

excitedly. After awhile Sasha also appeared, and she asked curiously what had happened yesterday.

Although the person who posted the picture had told what had happened, in order to gain attention on the Internet, there would definitely be exaggeration and bloody elements. So, she still wanted to hear what had happened from the protagonist himself.

Su Yuli gave a brief account of what had happened. After hearing it Taozi and the others sighed.

Yang Shuo also sent a message to Su Yuli, “Why are these things always happening to you?”

The reason why Yang Shuo said this is because this wasn’t the first time that Su Yuli had to deal with such a thing. In addition to Liu Jie, there was also Zhao Yu at school. All because they loved Lin Suiyan, they would come to trouble Su Yuli.

Su Yuli replied: “That’s because my husband is too good, so there are many people who are coveting him. Brother Shuo, are you really not considering finding me a sister-in-law?”

Yang Shuo briskly replied with the word “roll”2.

Su Yuli was in a very good mood after breaking Yang Single Dog Shuo’s heart early in the morning.

Lin Suiyan was also awake, laying beside him and watching Su Yuli typing on the keyboard. He asked, “What are you doing? You have a malicious smile on your face.”

Su Yuli rolled into Lin Suiyan’s arms with his mobile phone and showed him the chat content. “I’m showing them how good my husband is.

Lin Suiyan looked at the chat content in Su Yuli’s hand, and smiled.

It was still early, and Lin Suiyan asked Su Yuli, “Are you sleepy?”

Su Yuli was naturally not sleepy. At this time, he was skin-to-skin with Lin Suiyan. The end of his nose was full of the clean and refreshing smell of Lin Suiyan’s body, and his body was stirring.

Lin Suiyan smiled and said, “If you’re not sleepy, just find something to do.”

Su Yuli hummed very lightly, as if embarrassed, but saw Lin Suiyan get up and bring him a tracksuit from the cupboard.

Su Yuli: ? ? ?

Lin Suiyan said: ” Although you avoided Liu Jie’s attack yesterday, you were out of breath after such little activity. Your physical fitness Is too poor. Starting today, do morning exercises with me.”

Su Yuli: “…

He stared at Lin Suiyan for a long time, making sure that the other party did not want to play any sportswear3. Then he sat up resignedly. He put his clothes on while muttering: “What a little expert who spoils the atmosphere. Really doesn’t understand amorous feelings.”

Lin Suiyan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and Su Yuli noticed that the sportswear on Lin Suiyan’s body was the same as his. Obviously, it was a couple’s style.

Su Yuli felt less depressed, and he said with a smile, “But who made me like you. I won’t be angry with you anymore.” He had a “thank me quickly” expression on his face.

Lin Suiyan smiled and shook his head, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

—

In a luxuriously decorated duplex apartment in City A, Luo Xing sat at a dining table, looking at the entertainment tabloid in front of him. His face gloomy as if dripping with water.

He saw a photo of Lin Suiyan protecting Su Yuli on one page of the tabloid, and the title read in big bold font “President Lin is domineering and protects his wife- The rich and powerful also have true love.”

Luo Xing quickly scanned the above article, which told how someone had attacked Su Yuli at the reception last night. Lin Suiyan had captured that person and declared his love for Su Yuli domineeringly.

Luo Xing stared at the picture in the newspaper, wishing he could burn a hole into it.

Footsteps came from behind him, and a middle-aged man with a well-maintained and elegant temperament walked over. He affectionately hugged Luo Xing’s shoulder, kissed him on the side of his face, and asked: “What are you looking at?”

Luo Xing relaxed his tight shoulders, folded the newspaper, put it aside and said, “Nothing, just casually glancing at it.”

The middle-aged man picked up the newspaper and looked at it, with a smile: “Lin Suiyan? Well, this kid has been gaining momentum lately. People thought that after Old Master Lin became sick, the Lin Clan couldn’t last long. But they didn’t expect this boy to stand so firmly.”

The middle-aged man sat down beside Luo Xing with the newspaper, and picked up the paper on the table. After taking a sip of coffee, he continued: ” They all say that you should start a family before you start a career. It seems that what the ancients said is still reasonable. Lin Suiyan is married to a good spouse. Recently, the Wen family has also gained momentum. In the future, this A city will be dominated by the Lin family.”

Luo Xing lowered his eyes and his eyes were filled with monstrous jealousy and anger.

The middle-aged man didn’t notice Luo Xing’s strangeness. He quickly finished his breakfast and said, “Tonight is my daughter’s birthday. I’m going back to accompany her for her birthday. I can’t accompany you tonight.”

Luo Xing said, “It’s okay, I also have to work overtime today.”

The middle-aged man said, “You have lost a lot of weight recently, so don’t work too hard.” With that, he dropped a greasy sentence, “I feel distressed when I see it.”

Luo Xing smiled, “En. “

The middle-aged man wiped his mouth, he put on his suit and left. After the man left, the smile on Luo Xing’s face disappeared, replaced by a look of disgust.

Luo Xing brought over the entertainment tabloid opposite him. He really couldn’t understand why a man, as the CEO of a listed company, would like to read this kind of newspaper at breakfast – it was really disgusting.

Luo Xing stared at Su Yuli, who was being protected by Lin Suiyan in the newspaper, and bit his back molars.

When Mr. Lin suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, there were many who thought that Lin Suiyan wasn’t very pleasing to the eye, and they tried their best to clean him up.

At that time, those people thought that there was something between Lin Suiyan and him, and when they attacked him, they were very cruel.

What a bunch of losers to take no action for such a long time!

While angry, Luo Xing’s heart was filled with regret.

If…… If he had been willing to gamble at that time and had never stayed away from Lin Suiyan, it would have been him who was standing next to Lin Suiyan now, shining brightly and high-profile and showing their love.

If he had been willing to gamble, he would not have abused himself so much by following an old, ugly man with poor taste.

Luo Xing lowered his eyes. The dark brown coffee clearly reflected his gloomy brows at the moment, suddenly, he thought of something, and smiled.

There was a cold taste of bloodlust in that smile, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

Luo Xing brought the coffee to his lips and said in his heart that it was alright. Soon, very soon, he would be able to get rid of the current situation and leave this annoying old man.

By then, his strength will be one step stronger.

At that time, he will take back what belongs to him from Wen Jin.

Luo Xing took a sip of coffee; it was already cold. He put down the coffee, and then noticed that the aunt who was in charge of taking care of his daily life was standing not far away, looking at him with a look of surprise.

A look of disdain flashed in Luo Xing’s eyes. The person who did this kind of lowly work, he didn’t put them in his eyes at all, nor did he bother to disguise himself in front of the other party.

Luo Xing stared at her as she cleared the table, and ordered, “Don’t order this kind of newspaper without any substance in the future.” He was referring to the entertainment newspaper.

The aunt who works here is surnamed Wang and is called Wang Cui.

Wang Cui glanced at the newspaper that Luo Xing was pointing at, and said hesitantly, “Sir likes this newspaper very much, saying it is…”

Luo Xing suddenly changed his face. How can he be as warm as he is in front of the middle-aged man? He coldly stressed, “I said, don’t order this kind of newspaper again. Don’t you understand?”

Aunt Wang was embarrassed by Luo Xing . Her face was frightened, she took a half step back subconsciously, she nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll cancel it.”

Luo Xing nodded, cleaned up and left the apartment.

After Luo Xing left, Aunt Wang walked over to the table and put away the newspaper. Suddenly, she gave a cry.

Aunt Wang unfolded the newspaper and saw a photo on the side facing her.

In the photo, there are two young men in suits. The one standing in front is tall, with long legs and handsome eyebrows and eyes. Even in the eyes of Aunt Wang, who is over half a century old, he is very handsome.

It’s just that the person behind the young man had his face scratched off, leaving only a hole, staring horrifyingly back.

Aunt Wang looked around and found a small piece of paper that had been pulled off on the ground. She threw the small piece of paper and the newspaper in her hand into the trash can.

    Lin Group.

The secretary knocked on the door of the president’s office.

A low and melodious “Come in,” came from the door.

“Mr. Lin.” Xu Nan, the secretary, pushed the door open and entered the office. “Director Luo of Singapore Airlines is here. Do you want to see him?”

Before Lin Suiyan passed through-no, more specifically, before Old Lin was ill and hospitalized, Luo Xing often appeared at the Lin’s company. But since Elder Lin became ill, Luo Xing has been estranged from Lin Suiyan on the grounds of being busy with work.

Lin Suiyan was a little surprised at Luo Xing’s sudden visit, but since the other party had come, it wasn’t good for him to shut him out. So he said, “Please invite him in.”

Xu Nan nodded and quickly led Luo Xing to the president’s office.

As soon as Luo Xing saw Lin Suiyan, he smiled and said, “Suiyan, I happened to have something to do nearby, so I came to see you.  How are you doing?”

Luo Xing has a good appearance, a good body, and a warm temperament. After staying in City A for so many years, When others see him, they will only think that he is a young master raised by a wealthy family, noble and gentle, and very well-bred.

No one would believe that he actually grew up in a troubled family.

Even someone like Xu Nan who was used to seeing all kinds of celebrities couldn’t help but look at Luo Xing several times.

Lin Suiyan had a lukewarm attitude towards Luo Xing. He nodded and said, “I’m fine.”

Xu Nan quickly brought water in, and Lin Suiyan said to Luo Xing, “Sit down.”

Luo Xing sat down on the sofa. Lin Suiyan didn’t put down his work because of Luo Xing’s arrival. “I’m a little busy for the time being,” he said quietly.

Luo Xing said, “It doesn’t matter, you’re busy. I’ll wait for you.”

Lin Suiyan nodded.

For a while, the office was silent, filled with only the sound of Lin Suiyan flipping through documents. When Lin Suiyan stopped, the clock on the wall was already pointing to twelve o’clock.    

Seeing that Lin Suiyan had stopped working, Luo Xing said, ” Suiyan, we haven’t got together for a long time. Let’s have dinner together, it’s my treat.”

A vigorous voice said, “Suiyan, it’s time to get off work and go home for dinner.” Then, the door was opened and Su Yuli came in.

Su Yuli had a smile on his face, and was obviously in a very good mood.

From Su Yuli’s point of view, getting off work not only meant being able to fill your stomach and rest, but also being able to be with Lin Suiyan.

This is certainly something to be happy about.

After Su Yuli entered, he didn’t expect that there would be another person in the room.

Luo Xing? Su Yuli was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what was he doing here? It had been so comfortable during this time that he’d almost forgotten about Luo Xing.

Luo Xing had already stood up and said to Su Yuli, “Hello.”

Su Yuli replied hello, and then heard Lin Suiyan’s words: “Xiao Jin, you came just in time, the senior said he wanted to invite us to dinner.”

Su Yuli smiled and said, “Really?”

Luo Xing almost couldn’t keep the smile on his face.

Su Yuli walked over to Lin Suiyan’s side and said to Luo Xing, “That’s not going to work. It’s our turn to treat you.” Then he took out his mobile phone, “I’ll make a reservation.” Then he asked Luo Xing what he liked to eat.

Luo Xing glanced at Lin Suiyan, and saw that he was going to indulge him, said: “…anything is fine.”

Su Yuli looked down and said, “Then let’s eat at Jiwei Zhai. The squirrel fish we ate there last time was delicious..”

Lin Suiyan nodded dotingly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
