Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 560: Exploring the Manor Secrets
Su Chen and Doctor Gaia chatted all the way into the evening before leaving there.
Although Doctor Gaia now had the close protection of the 14th Shadow Guard, Gu Ming, Su Chen still felt uneasy. Given how important Doctor Gaia had become, any mishap would be bitterly regretted!
So, the first thing he did after stepping out was to arrange for two more Shadow Guards to take responsibility for Doctor Gaia's safety in secret!
Once this matter was settled, he relaxed and then took a taxi to Grand Epoch Court.
Since he had returned to Jianghai, of course, he wanted to visit home!
As Su Chen approached the villa's gate, he could already hear the chirpy voice of a young girl from inside.
Su Chen opened the door curiously, but as soon as he did so, he was momentarily stunned.
He saw one little girl chasing after another, incessantly calling out, "Sister, sister!"
The little girl in front seemed to quicken her pace as if trying to shake off the one behind her, a look of impatience on her face:
"Stop following me."
"Sister, play with me for a bit!"
"You're too childish, why would I play with you!"
The girl in front said with disdain.
"My dear little ancestors, please stop spinning around, it's making me dizzy."
Wang Ma said with a pained expression on her face.
Su Chen found the scene before him amusing.
The girl in the front was naturally Lin Ruohan, and the little one following her was little Xun, whom Su Chen had named Qin Xun.
"Brother Su!"
Just then, Lin Ruohan noticed Su Chen, who had just entered, and her eyes immediately lit up as she ran toward him.
"Uncle."
Little Xun also revealed a look of surprise upon seeing Su Chen.
"The son-in-law is back!"
Wang Ma also stood up immediately and said:
"Son-in-law, why didn't you tell us in advance? We've already had dinner."
"It's okay, I'll just warm it up in a bit."
Su Chen smiled and then looked at the two little girls, one on each side:
"What were you two just doing?"
"Uncle, my sister won't play with me."
Little Xun said with a hint of grievance.
"You little tattletale,"
Lin Ruohan promptly glared at little Xun with a "ferocious" look.
"Bang!"
Su Chen tapped little Ruohan's forehead lightly:

"Calling her a little tattletale, aren't you one yourself?"
"Tell me, why don't you want to play with little Xun?"
Su Chen asked little Ruohan.
"She's too childish, always asking so many questions!"
Little Ruohan pouted, clearly displeased.
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. This wasn't surprising since little Ruohan was exceptionally precocious, bordering on the sinister. Naturally, she would find her peers childish.
Besides, little Xun had come down from Tianshan, purer than the average child, and naturally full of questions about anything novel she encountered.
So it was only natural that the two girls couldn't play together well, as they were complete opposites.
"Ruohan, as the older sister, of course you should take care of your younger sister. Even though she doesn't understand many things and likes to ask questions, who isn't from a place of not understanding to understanding?"
Su Chen spoke earnestly:
"One shouldn't look down on others, because how do you know there aren't aspects in which others surpass you? Everyone has their unique qualities, and we should learn to appreciate the bright spots in others, right?"
Lin Ruohan wouldn't listen to anyone else, even if it was Lin Wenting's words, she would take them or leave them, but she was willing to listen to Su Chen.
So upon hearing what Su Chen said, little Ruohan really gave it some thought and then nodded.
"Son-in-law, you really have a way with them, my head has grown bigger from their constant quarreling."
Although Wang Ma said this, her eyes were filled with indulgence when she looked at the two little treasures.
She then said to Su Chen:
"Son-in-law, let me heat up the meal for you first."
"That would be nice."
Su Chen nodded and said.
"Little miss, what do you want to play? Sister will play with you."
Little Ruohan asked little Xun.
"Let's watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!"
Little Xun said excitedly.
"Alright then."
Little Ruohan said, somewhat discontented, then sulkily muttered:
"Childish!"
But Su Chen's words were still ringing in her ears, so she sat down on the sofa and started watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with her, albeit reluctantly.
Su Chen watched little Ruohan's mature demeanor and couldn't help but chuckle.
Before long, little Xun was laughing nonstop at the animated show, and little Ruohan, seeing her, once again muttered "childish" under her breath!
She then took out her phone and started playing a puzzle game on it.
Soon, Wang Ma had the meal heated, and Su Chen began to eat.
Wang Ma also sat down at the table and asked about their life in Yandu, obviously still worried about the two of them.
Su Chen cheerfully told her about their situation to ease her worries.
"With the son-in-law here, I'm not worried,"
Wang Ma said with a smile on her face.
Seeing that it was getting late, she took the two little girls to bed, and then she too went to rest.
After finishing his meal, Su Chen also left Grand Epoch Court on his own, driving the BMW 5 Series to the manor by Jiangyang Lake.
He had been meaning to find some time to explore that manor; being here was a perfect opportunity, so he decided to have a look. There might be an unexpected discovery.
It wasn't long before Su Chen noticed something—the Yuan Qi in that manor was much denser than by the lake, suggesting that the problem lay inside the manor.
Arriving at the manor, Su Chen found it deserted; clearly, Xu Xinran, that little girl, had long since left.
Without giving it much thought, Su Chen started wandering through the entire manor, looking for something out of the ordinary.
However, after searching for two to three hours and finding nothing—despite checking every corner of the manor's yard—he still had no valuable clues.
Truth be told, Su Chen had previously noticed that there was something unusual about this manor and had given it a cursory look, but of course, there was no reward.
He had thought that by searching with a purpose, he would definitely find something, but reality turned out to be disappointing.
Standing in the yard, Su Chen lit up a cigarette and began smoking, feeling quite gloomy, but he had no intention of giving up.
This was partly because he wasn't someone who gave up easily; otherwise, he wouldn't have managed to achieve one seemingly impossible feat after another and leave a legendary name in the Dark World.
Of course, another reason was that the temptation of this matter was simply too great. If he could uncover the mystery of the abundant Yuan Qi in this manor, he might be able to take advantage of it. In doing so, his Cultivation rate would increase by leaps and bounds!
