Chapter 501: A Beauty’s Deep Affection

With Lin Xiao’s level of cultivation, even if he stood there without resisting, Wan Ziyue wouldn’t be able to bite him. Even if she used all her strength, she could only leave shallow teeth marks.

Aside from the teeth mark, there was also saliva.

A strange feeling arose in Lin Xiao’s heart. Wan Ziyue was pressed far too closely against him, so tightly there wasn’t even the slightest gap between them. The position was extremely ambiguous.

But after all, Lin Xiao was no ordinary person. With a will like solid rock, he forcibly suppressed the impulse within and grabbed Wan Ziyue by both arms, pulling her off of him.

Wan Ziyue’s pretty face turned red. She glared unhappily at Lin Xiao’s left ear, which was now covered in her saliva. Even after biting it for so long, she hadn’t even broken the skin.

Nowhere to vent her anger, Wan Ziyue punched Lin Xiao’s chest a few more times.

But Lin Xiao’s body stood firm and unmoving, instead making her own wrists ache from the rebound. He sighed helplessly. He finally understood this girl. Though she looked similar to Wan Caixuan, she had a completely different personality.

Wan Caixuan was noble and aloof, usually cold as ice. But this Wan Ziyue was crafty, full of schemes, and had a fiery temper, unable to suffer even the slightest loss.

“Wan Ziyue, what are you doing?” Wan Caixuan grabbed her wrist, stopping her movements, her expression rather displeased.

“Hmph, this jerk made me lose so much face. Of course, I have to take revenge,” Wan Ziyue said as if it were only natural.

She flung off Wan Caixuan’s jade-like hand, wiped away her tear stains, straightened her short skirt, and glared fiercely at Lin Xiao.

“Jerk, I’m keeping a tab on this. We’ll settle it slowly later—hmph!”

Lin Xiao felt rather helpless. He shook his head, too lazy to argue with the girl any further, and turned to Wan Caixuan.

“President, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now. After all, looking like this isn’t really suitable for staying at the company.” Wan Caixuan nodded slightly, her bright eyes looking Lin Xiao up and down, a strange light flickering within. In a soft voice, she said, “Lin Xiao, you’ve worked hard this time. If it weren’t for you, that little devil might really have gotten her way.”

With that, she glared at Wan Ziyue, who responded by sticking out her tongue and giving a playful, apologetic smile.

“I’m your bodyguard. Since I’m paid by you, I naturally worry on your behalf,” Lin Xiao said with a slight smile. “Then I’ll take my leave.”

“I’ll walk you out,” Wan Caixuan said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

She gently took Lin Xiao’s arm and walked beside him toward the office door. After a few steps, she turned back and gave Wan Ziyue a warning look.

“Stay here and behave. Don’t try to sneak off. Got it?”

“Got it~” Wan Ziyue said crisply, her eyes shifting back and forth between Wan Caixuan and Lin Xiao, her gaze flickering.

Thinking back to her earlier situation, an unbelievable thought emerged in her heart.

‘Oh my god… Is this really my otherworldly, aloof sister? She’s actually acting so close with this jerk? Did the sun rise from the west today? Could it be… my ice queen of a sister has fallen in love with this bastard?! And this bastard might become my brother-in-law?! No way. I absolutely don’t approve!’

Wan Caixuan and Lin Xiao walked out of the office. She casually closed the door behind them, cutting off Wan Ziyue’s strange gaze, then turned to look straight into Lin Xiao’s eyes.

“Lin Xiao, if you have time, let’s have a proper talk. Not as bodyguard and employer, but as friends. There are some things I want to ask your opinion on.”

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then nodded. “If you want to talk, we can do it now.”

“I haven’t figured out how to say it yet. Give me a bit more time,” Wan Caixuan said, turning to face him, her stunning face carrying a faint, gentle smile—enchanting to the point of being breathtaking. “Can you hug me?”

Lin Xiao didn’t say anything. He simply opened his arms and embraced her.

Wan Caixuan’s body tensed at first, then gradually relaxed. Her cheek rested against Lin Xiao’s chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat, slowly closing her eyes.

A dozen seconds later, Wan Caixuan lifted her head from Lin Xiao’s embrace.

Her jade-like cheeks were flushed pink. She brushed her hair aside gently and said, “You should head back. See you tomorrow.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow.”

Lin Xiao waved and walked away with large strides.

That was always his way—decisive and clean-cut, never dragging things out.

Wan Caixuan stood in place, watching Lin Xiao’s departing figure from afar. Only after he turned the corner and disappeared did she return to the office.

Just as Lin Xiao rounded the corner, a fragrant breeze suddenly swept past him.

He didn’t dodge or avoid it, letting the figure pounce directly into his arms. “Sister Ning Xi, why are you hiding here?”

Ning Xi’s eyes were like gentle water. She didn’t speak. Her jade arms wrapped tightly around Lin Xiao’s neck. She rose on tiptoes, her slightly parted lips pressing against his.

Instinctively, Lin Xiao embraced her slender waist, awkwardly responding.

The kiss lasted for a full three minutes. Only when Ning Xi felt she was almost out of breath did she finally part her lips. Her delicate face was flushed with crimson as she giggled softly, “Lin Xiao, is this reward to your liking?”

Other than nodding, what else could Lin Xiao do?

Ning Xi gently flicked his forehead with her slender finger. “Alright, go change clothes. Sister doesn’t have time to keep you company today. In a few days, let’s go have some fun, okay?”

After speaking, she gave him another peck on the lips, then left in a fragrant breeze. Halfway down the hall, she turned back and smiled—a look of stunning beauty.

Lin Xiao’s heart stirred, unable to calm down.

How lucky he was to have such outstanding beauties by his side, caring for him, loving him deeply.

Precisely because of this, he had to keep growing stronger, to protect those he cherished.

He didn’t want them to suffer even the slightest grievance or face the slightest danger.

After a long while, he finally suppressed his surging blood and cleared the distracting thoughts from his mind. His whole demeanor returned to calm. He took the elevator down to the first floor of the building.

All the black-clad men he had beaten down were nowhere to be seen. Whether they had been taken to the hospital or dragged away by Wan Shiyi was unclear.

The employees of Brilliant Aya Limited gradually returned to their posts. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, without exception, they all showed looks of reverence, automatically making way and bowing in greeting.

The strength Lin Xiao had displayed thoroughly conquered them. In their eyes, he had become a godlike figure—someone to revere and look up to.

“Where did those people go?” Lin Xiao asked a security guard standing in the main hall.
