My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 696 - 683: My Harem Doesn’t Trickle Down

Su Xuan didn’t know what was wrong, but he always felt that this little brother-in-law, Li Chengcheng, was very problematic, yet he couldn’t pinpoint where the problem lay.

After dining at Li Yuanyuan’s family’s home, Su Xuan wanted to return, but Yuanyuan’s parents were very keen to visit the place where Su Xuan lived. Since Yuanyuan had moved out of the faculty apartment, it became Su Xuan’s residence.

Now, Yuanyuan’s parents still found their son-in-law somewhat unreliable. They wanted to see Su Xuan’s dwelling with their own eyes, especially since Su Xuan had boasted in front of them that he was a company boss. They assumed his living quarters would also be quite luxurious.

In the end, Yuanyuan, helpless, followed Su Xuan, claiming she was doing so to inspect on her parents’ behalf. Thus, they managed to skirt around the issue.

Upon hearing that his sister was going to follow Su Xuan to the faculty apartment, Li Chengcheng couldn’t stop praising the idea, "Sis, you go ahead without worry, have a great time." After saying that, Chengcheng even snickered. Yuanyuan had no idea what was wrong with her brother today, wondering why he was suddenly so affectionate towards her.

Su Xuan drove towards the faculty apartment. Along the way, Yuanyuan said to Su Xuan, "If you’re busy with something, just go do it. I can wander around outside for a while. Later on, I won’t tell mom and dad about your affairs."

Touched by this, Su Xuan thought to himself that Yuanyuan was really considerate. A wife ought to be an educated and reasonable woman.

"Forget it, let’s go over and take a look together. After all, that was also your little nest in the past," Su Xuan said with a smile. Indeed, the place still maintained Yuanyuan’s style from before, from the walls to the decorations inside, all of which were like those of a homely young woman, full of feminine charm.

As they were about to arrive at the faculty apartment, Yuanyuan suddenly felt unwell, and Su Xuan, too, sensed that something was off.

"What’s wrong, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Su Xuan was shocked. Could it be that this little brother-in-law had tampered with the milk tea? Su Xuan still remembered that before they ate, Li Chengcheng had sneakily gone out for a while. Now it seemed that he might indeed have been up to something. To harm his own sister, what was he playing at? The substance he put in the milk tea couldn’t be poison, could it?

Su Xuan’s first thought was to head to the hospital, but now the car had already reached the entrance of the faculty apartment.

"Let’s go upstairs instead, I feel a little better now."

"Alright, you go lie down on the bed for a while. If you feel too awful, I’ll take you to the hospital."

Yuanyuan nodded firmly, so Su Xuan helped her upstairs. During the process, Su Xuan felt her body temperature a few times; it was hot in a way that differed from fever, a heat emanating from inside out, from the heart.

"Let’s forget it."

Su Xuan strongly controlled himself not to deviate from proper behavior, now already guessing what Chencheng had given his sister.

However, to be on the safe side, Su Xuan still called Chengcheng.

"Who is it? Oh, it’s my brother-in-law. What’s up? Are you and my sister having fun?"

Angered by this, Su Xuan demanded, "Tell me, what exactly did you put in your sister’s milk tea?"

"Don’t be angry, bro. After all, we’ll eventually be family. You and my sister haven’t done ’it’ yet, right? I just wanted to speed things up for you, to become my official brother-in-law sooner. Okay, that’s all for now, ha." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

After speaking, Chencheng hung up.

"Really, this kid was just never raised properly."

...

After it was all over, Su Xuan lit a cigarette and sat on the bed, glancing at Yuanyuan, still in her slumber. He truly had exerted himself just now; when she woke up, she might not even be able to walk steadily. He blamed himself for being too indulgent.

Afterwards, a cigarette felt better than a living immortal, Su Xuan now took on the role of a domestic man, heading to the kitchen to help Li Yuanyuan cook a bowl of silver ear and lotus seed soup to clear her system.

"Come on, take a few sips."

Su Xuan helped Li Yuanyuan sit up and spoon-fed her.

Li Yuanyuan slowly opened her eyes, her lips slightly parting.

"I feel much better now, that milk tea my brother gave me must have been expired!"

"Hmm, next time I see Chengcheng, I’ll give him a good thrashing to relieve your anger, that kid only knows how to skimp when buying things,"

Su Xuan continued after her.

Li Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, but she still had some recollection of her recent self. She lifted a corner of the blanket and sneaked a peek inside, not only did she see herself completely unclothed, she also spotted a small blood-red plum blossom on the bedsheet.

"I..."

Li Yuanyuan looked at Su Xuan in shock, while Su Xuan returned a gaze full of tender affection.

"Um, sorry about just now, it’s all my fault, I’m just a raw..."

Su Xuan deliberately emphasized the severity of his own despicable actions, but Li Yuanyuan quickly used her delicate hand to stop his mouth, telling him not to talk nonsense.

"It was my choice, it has nothing to do with you."

"If anyone’s at fault, it’s me, not you. Do you think I’m especially..."

After the deed, women are especially in need of comfort, her heart is very fragile right now.

Su Xuan put down the bowl in his hand, lifted Li Yuanyuan, and said to her, "All right, all right, let’s leave the past behind and look forward."

Once Li Yuanyuan had rested enough, Su Xuan took her back to her parents’ house because she still had to go to work the next day. He worried that returning late would cause her parents to worry, and at that moment Su Xuan took out his phone and found two text messages.

One was from Li Chengcheng, it read: "Now you’re finally my brother-in-law, haha."

Su Xuan found this troublemaking younger brother-in-law quite annoying, more trouble than he’s worth, always knowing only to gamble.

The second message was from Chen Sisi, saying Datang Restaurant was reopening tomorrow and asking to come together, a must-attend event. Wang Fangqian’s fire had burned down Datang Restaurant, a score yet to be settled.

Su Xuan had returned to the casino, not the Yun Zhonghu’s Dasanyuan casino, but the one previously owned by Wang Fangqian. The casino’s manager had offered Su Xuan an annual salary of twenty million, but Su Xuan felt it unstable. If Wang Fangqian found out he was in his casino, he would surely pack up and leave immediately.

Now, the salary offered by Yun Zhonghu, the female boss of Dasanyuan casino, was at least higher than what Wang Fangqian’s casino offered. Moreover, he heard that Yun Zhonghu and Wang Fangqian were arch-rivals, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend, something Su Xuan was well aware of.

So, Su Xuan’s purpose for coming to Wang Fangqian’s casino was very simple, to resign and leave.

"I came here to say that I don’t think the job suits me, I’m resigning today."

Su Xuan said to the casino’s manager, who usually treated Su Xuan rather well, so he made a point to come in person to say it.
