Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 580: Where the Heart Resides
Lin Ruoxue had never imagined that her husband, who always seemed carefree and unconcerned about everything, had such a past!
Lin Ruoxue also fully understood why he had never mentioned these things, because these were his most painful memories!
Always buried deep in his heart, he simply didn't dare to bring them out!
At this moment, Lin Ruoxue was like a mother, holding Su Chen tightly in her embrace.
She hoped her body could provide him some warmth, offer his heart, riddled with countless wounds, a place of refuge where he could temporarily rest.
Feeling her intentions, Su Chen also felt a sense of peace, as if a ray of sunlight suddenly shone into a dark, damp room!
"It's all in the past; I'm okay."
Su Chen gently patted her back and said softly.
"Let me hold you a little longer."
Lin Ruoxue murmured, as if something was melting...
"Alright, let go, otherwise I'm going to run out of breath."
Su Chen patted her back again.
With some reluctance, Lin Ruoxue released him...
"Actually, I was quite fortunate—the person was supposed to kill me to silence me, but in the end, whether it was a pang of conscience or for some other reason, he didn't kill me and left me to fend for myself."
"And after I fainted, I also met my old ghost of a master, who took me back and essentially saved my life," said Su Chen as he comforted Lin Ruoxue.
"You have a master?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue's eyes widened in surprise. How many more secrets did he have?
"Yes, I'll take you to see him when we get a chance."
Su Chen said, and could not help but laugh:
"Speaking of which, he pretty much played matchmaker for us. My trip to Jianghai for the wedding was entirely orchestrated by that old ghost."
"Su Chen, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that marrying me was a huge loss for you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue immediately became upset, and her lips pouted slightly.
It was the first time Su Chen saw Lin Ruoxue looking so adorable, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Wife, how could that be? To marry such a heavenly beauty like you, I must have been blessed by my grandfather and parents in heaven. I can't thank them enough!"
Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue into his arms and laughed, his sweet talk now reaching new heights of mastery, seemingly effortless.
"Pfft!"
Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, looking utterly charming!
"Husband, actually, you don't need to say it. I understood. You must have been reluctant at first."
Lin Ruoxue lay in Su Chen's arms and spoke softly:
"I was reluctant at first too. If it weren't for Grandpa threatening not to enter the operation room, I would have rather died than agreed, because I had never even met you."
At this moment, memories of their initial days of marriage started to surface in her mind.
Back then, they were like enemies, no, more like strangers. The only difference from strangers was that they had a marriage certificate and lived under the same roof.
Lin Ruoxue initially couldn't stand her husband, who was legally wedded to her. He wasn't anything like the ideal partner she had imagined in her dreams.

Back then, he would sleep until at least ten every day, sometimes even until noon or one in the afternoon, and he would return home very late at night, often carrying the smell of alcohol.
Back then, he was utterly unkempt, his clothes hardly ever changed, no matter how dirty they were, he would just sit on the sofa, bang his thigh on the coffee table, and flick ash directly onto the floor...
Lin Ruoxue sometimes really wanted to kill this guy, in the end, she could only pretend she didn't see him and treated him as if he were invisible...
She was already very opposed to this marriage, and seeing that it was such a person, she even felt like dying!
At that moment, Su Chen's lips also curved into a devilishly charming smile, as he too remembered how they started to get along.
He wasn't like Lin Ruoxue, who had so much to complain about, after all, his wife was so beautiful!
His initial feeling was that his wife was too cold, colder than the cold air of Siberia, capable of freezing someone with just one glance!
Suddenly, the two of them smiled at each other, both knowing that the other was recalling the past.
Although these events had happened just over half a year ago, recalling them now felt like they had occurred a century ago, almost as if in a previous life.
Lin Ruoxue didn't know when their relationship had started to change, perhaps it had begun with the breakfast that had captured her heart...
"Husband, there's something I don't know if I should say or not."
"Any words can be said between us, are there still matters that are not appropriate?"
Su Chen said with a light smile.
"That, Grandpa, and mom and dad passing away in such a short span of time, don't you find it odd? Could there be something fishy going on?"
Lin Ruoxue suddenly sat up from Su Chen's embrace, looking into his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen silently praised his wife's acute intelligence, who had instantly pinpointed the crux of the matter.
"Indeed, it is strange, so I've been investigating these years, and I've already found some clues."
Su Chen said gravely.
"What clues?"
Lin Ruoxue asked quickly, after all, Su Chen's parents were now her relatives too, and naturally, she cared a lot!
"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to drag you into this mess..."
Su Chen hadn't finished speaking when Lin Ruoxue interrupted:
"As husband and wife, how can I stand by untouched if you are in this quagmire? Both subjectively and objectively, this is the case."
Su Chen pondered for a moment and had to admit that Lin Ruoxue made sense; they were indeed inseparable.
"Since it's so, then I'll tell you."
Su Chen spoke solemnly:
"Indeed, the deaths of my parents and grandfather, it's all a conspiracy, although I'm not sure yet who the mastermind is and who the accomplices are, but the incidents from that year are definitely mostly linked with the Five Great Families, maybe even all of them are involved!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruoxue was tremendously shocked!
She had not expected that the matter would be related to the Five Great Families!
The Five Great Families, that was utterly an existence above the rest!
Futhermore, Su Chen mentioned the majority of the Five Great Families, perhaps even all of them!
Any of the Five Great Families was akin to a lofty mountain, inspiring awe!
If the Five Great Families were involved together, how immensely powerful their strength must be!
Just the thought of it was hair-raising!
However, after being stunned for a moment, Lin Ruoxue also felt it made sense.
After all, back then, the Su Family was the foremost family in Yandu and even in Huaxia; who could dare to take action against the Su Family's main branch in power unless they were extraordinary!
"Husband, you're not thinking of...?"
A thought suddenly emerged in Lin Ruoxue's heart, and her delicate body couldn't help trembling!
