Chapter 7 Playing Hard to Get
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat awkward.
Su Yurou took a sip of tea, her gaze shifting between the two men.
Playing hard to get!
She instantly understood Lin Xuan's plan.
"Come on, let's eat first and chat while we eat. Xiao Lin, pour some red wine for Sister Zhao."
"it is good."
At the dinner table, Su Yurou deliberately didn't talk much about Lin Xuan, instead only chatting about trivial topics.
Just like a casual chat between sisters.
But Zhao Xueli seemed somewhat distracted.
Her gaze kept drifting towards Lin Xuan unconsciously. She found a suitable moment and casually said:
Where does Mr. Lin work now?
"I'm just making a living under Sister Su," Lin Xuan replied with a smile, putting down his chopsticks.
Su Yurou picked up the conversation, giving Lin Xuan a reproachful glare:
"Don't mention it! It's clearly because this kid likes to run around. I brought him here to keep him in check, but what he's got is no interest in work at all. So far, he hasn't made a single sale!"
She paused, then sighed:
"She even handed me her resignation yesterday, saying she was leaving Jiangzhou to go gather herbs in some remote mountain area! Sister Zhao, isn't that infuriating?!"
Zhao Xueli's hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened.
Leaving Jiangzhou?
Lin Xuan is gone, what am I going to do about my migraine?!
Thinking back to those days tormented by dull pain...
She felt inexplicably panicked.
"Mr. Lin..."
"Just call me Xiaolin, Sister Zhao."
"Hmm... Xiaolin, why are you leaving? There aren't many medicinal herbs in Jiangzhou..." She realized there was a hint of urgency in her voice halfway through her sentence.
"It's just family custom. By the way, Sister Zhao, my massage only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You've had migraines for years, haven't you? This massage will only last for two or three days at most."
As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
He secretly mocked himself:
I really am a... heretical cultivator!
But so what?
"Two or three days..."
The thought of facing that pain again made her instinctively speak:
"What if I take long-term treatment?"
Lin Xuan thought for a moment: "With gradual treatment, there is a possibility of a complete cure. It's just a pity that I can't stay here indefinitely; there are family rules..."
"Rules are rules, but people are flexible!"
Zhao Xueli blurted it out, only realizing after speaking that she had been too hasty, and her face flushed red instantly.
Su Yurou, who was standing to the side, was secretly surprised.
In all the years she had known Zhao Xueli, she had never seen this gentle and kind woman lose her composure with anyone.
Then I recalled Lin Xuan's...miraculous "massage" that afternoon.
It’s over.
Zhao Xueli can't escape Lin Xuan's grasp.
She spoke up at the opportune moment: "What's wrong, Sister Zhao? You've really taken a liking to our Xiao Lin? You're so reluctant to let him go?"
Zhao Xueli's face turned even redder. Just as she was about to explain, her eyes lit up: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just... um? By the way, Xiaolin, I have a request that I could ask you to help me with?"
Su Yurou raised an eyebrow:
Well, the fish took the bait!
"Sister Zhao, I'm just here for a meal and to make friends. I don't want to talk about those things."
Lin Xuan shook his head, seemingly genuinely fed up with his work.
This attitude only made Zhao Xueli more anxious.
She bit her lip and looked at Su Yurou beside her.
Su Yurou inwardly sighed, "You brat," and then smiled as she spoke:
"Xiao Lin, look at what you're saying. Sister Zhao is a rich woman. She originally had a big deal to sign with someone else, but I'm only asking you for your own good."
Lin Xuan remained calm: "Then wouldn't I be accused of stealing someone else's partner?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xueli sat up straight and explained:
"No way! To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to sign this contract with your manager Chen Chuang, but I don't like him. I was already hesitant, but I'm hesitant because I know his wife. And since we're both from your An Group, I'd much rather sign with Xiao Lin!"
After saying that, fearing that Lin Xuan wouldn't accept it, he added another sentence:
"That's settled then!"
Lin Xuan remained silent.
Su Yurou knew the time had come:
"Alright, Xiao Lin, just listen to Sister Zhao on this. What's wrong with staying a little longer?"
"Yes, what's so great about being deep in the mountains and forests?"
"Don't worry about Chen Chuang, he's from the same company, no problem!"
"That's right, that's right."
The two women, singing in unison, were like trying to deceive a naive young boy.
Lin Xuan hesitated for a long time, then sighed:
"All right."
Su Yurou smiled.
Zhao Xueli laughed even harder: "Then it's settled! We'll sign the contract tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, she raised her glass: "Xiao Lin, it's been a pleasure working with you!"
"It's a pleasure working with you."
Watching the two clink glasses, Su Yurou was filled with emotion.
Chen Chuang, who exactly did you mess with?
You'll see what happens tomorrow.
The dinner lasted another half hour, and both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.
As it was ending, Lin Xuan and Su Yurou were about to leave when Zhao Xueli, emboldened by alcohol, suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Lin...do you have time tonight?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
Su Yurou raised an eyebrow:
"Xiao Lin, I've had a bit too much to drink. I'm going to rest now. Please take good care of Sister Zhao."
She emphasized the word "take care of".
Zhao Xueli blushed and quickly explained, "I wanted to ask Xiaolin to give me another massage."
Su Yurou shook her hand and left the private room.
"Of course."
Lin Xuan didn't refuse. It just so happened that he wanted to try to break through the "bottleneck" in his body through this method.
"Thanks! I have a private room, awesome, let's go there."
Zhao Xueli was overjoyed and picked up her bag to get up, but she was really a bit drunk. The moment she stood up, she was unsteady and almost fell.
Lin Xuan reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her, a faint fragrance wafting into his arms.
"Sister Zhao, be careful."
"Thank you..." Zhao Xueli's face was flushed, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Lin Xuan helped her out of the room; the corridor was quiet.
Zhao Xueli leaned against his arm, her soft hair occasionally brushing against him.
He felt the lustful desire in his lower abdomen growing stronger.
6th floor, in front of the room.
Zhao Xueli searched for a long time before finally finding the room key.
drop--
The door opened.
This room is completely different in style from Su Yurou's; the walls are covered with ink wash landscape paintings, which are very elegant.
"Kobayashi, sit down."
Zhao Xueli took off her high heels and stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet. "I'm going to wash my face and clear my head."
As she spoke, she swayed and almost fell.
Lin Xuan helped her up again: "Sister Zhao, why don't we call it a day? You should rest first."
"No, no... I'm really afraid my headache will come back tomorrow, Kobayashi, please, please."
Zhao Xueli's eyes were stubborn yet aggrieved; at this moment, she looked like a little woman.
Lin Xuan looked at her slightly reddened eyes and nodded.
"Wait for me, I'll be right there."
Zhao Xueli, supporting herself against the wall, slowly walked into the bathroom.
Lin Xuan sat down in the living room, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing. He could feel that the true energy in his body had reached a certain critical point.
A dozen minutes later.
The bathroom door was opened.
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and saw Zhao Xueli had changed into a silk nightgown and come out.
Her graceful figure was faintly visible in the warm light.
