Chapter 7

If she had a choice, Lin Aoxue would rather use ten years of her life to exchange for never meeting Su Rui.

Meeting such a man was truly the worst thing that had ever happened to her, without a doubt.

Wasn't she supposed to be as calm as a frozen lake? Why did he manage to provoke her anger so many times on the very first day they met?

If it weren't for this despicable man, how could she have appeared in such an extremely ungraceful posture in the Junlan Kempinski Resort Hotel, which was filled with high-end guests?

This was what flashed through Lin Aoxue's mind the moment Su Rui grabbed her hips, but the next second, she couldn't care less.

Her body was tilting backward at an even greater angle!

No matter how rational a person is, they would instinctively react when falling, such as struggling or reaching out to grab something.

Lin Aoxue did just that. As she fell backward, she instinctively stretched out her hand, trying to maintain her balance in the air.

Finally, when the angle between her body and the ground was less than forty degrees, her hand grabbed a pair of strong and warm hands. With a slight effort, those hands pulled Lin Aoxue up!

Lin Aoxue didn't notice that, in the moment she was pulled up, a faint emotion flashed through her mind besides relief. This emotion was called reassurance, but it was hidden so deeply that even she didn't realize it.

Looking at Su Rui's mischievous smile, Lin Aoxue was furious. For so many years, when had she ever been as embarrassed as tonight?

"Are you doing this on purpose, right?"

"Why would I do it on purpose? It was you who told me to let go, so I did. When I saw you about to fall, I pulled you up. You don't even thank me, and now you want to repay kindness with enmity?"

"I'll say it again, I'm going to the restroom, don't follow me!" Lin Aoxue turned and left, looking somewhat flustered.

This man could make anyone lose their composure with just a few words, which was truly despicable.

"I can wait for you at the restroom door!" Su Rui shouted to Lin Aoxue's back, causing her to stumble and almost fall again.

Su Rui stood at the entrance of the women's restroom, hands in his pockets, whistling and winking at the beautiful guests coming out of the restroom. Due to his good looks and demeanor, some women not only didn't dislike him but even smiled at him warmly.

If Su Rui came to the Junlan Kempinski a few more times, he would likely become very familiar with all the female guests and staff.

When Lin Aoxue came out of the restroom and saw Su Rui, she immediately turned her gaze away and adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror.

At that moment, a tall and handsome man walked over, and upon seeing Lin Aoxue, his face lit up with surprise!

"Aoxue, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here at the Junlan Kempinski!"

This man was dressed in a well-fitted suit, and his smile was as warm as a spring breeze. On the surface, there was nothing to criticize about him.

But Su Rui just didn't like him. He disliked handsome men and even more so, rich men. For those who were both handsome and rich, he had double the aversion.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence," Lin Aoxue replied indifferently and turned to leave.

"Aoxue, it's better to meet by chance than to plan it. Since we've met today, why don't we go to my private room for a drink? Many old friends are there."

The man looked at Lin Aoxue's stunning beauty, and a greedy desire flashed in his eyes, though it was hidden, it didn't escape Su Rui's notice!

"I have guests to attend to, so I must take my leave." Lin Aoxue said and turned to go.

"Aoxue, today..."

The man wanted to say more, but a man in a red plaid shirt appeared in front of him, blocking his way!

"Who the hell are you? Why are you纠缠 (harassing) our Aoxue? Say one more word, and I'll beat you up!" Su Rui stood there, his rogue demeanor fully displayed, making the man frown.

"He is the eldest son of Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Group, Song Yili," Lin Aoxue unexpectedly explained, to Su Rui's surprise.

Su Rui glanced at Lin Aoxue, quickly concluding that this man was clearly not to her liking.

"Oh, so you're Song Yili! I've heard a lot about you," Su Rui said insincerely, then added with disdain, "But Song Yili, our Aoxue doesn't want to talk to you. Why are you still pestering her? Can't you see she already has me as her excellent protector? You have no sense at all!"

When it came to thick skin, Song Yili was no match for Su Rui. They were not in the same league.

"Your Aoxue? What is she to you? Have you even gotten her approval to call her that?" Song Yili sneered.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing Lin Aoxue turn to leave, Song Yili wanted to chase after her, but a strong hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed his collar, and pinned him against the wall!

Song Yili, who weighed about 180 pounds, was easily lifted by Su Rui, showing the incredible strength he possessed!

"Who the hell are you to act so recklessly at the Junlan Kempinski? Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Song Yili's face was dark, as he was taken aback by Su Rui's boldness.

Song Yili had been in Ninghai for many years and knew all the young masters, but he had never seen anyone like Su Rui. Therefore, he remained calm, knowing that Su Rui's status was not worth his attention.

Ninghai was a big city, but this was the first time someone had treated him like this!

Seeing his neatly pressed suit now wrinkled, Song Yili's eyes darkened. "You're asking for it, punk!"

"If I'm a punk, you don't even have the qualifications to be a punk's armpit hair," Su Rui replied coldly, his previous rogue demeanor replaced by a sharp and intense aura!

This intense aura was fleeting, but it made Song Yili feel a chill run through his body!

What... What was this?

Why did this man have such an aura? It was so strange! Song Yili found it hard to believe!

"I don't like the way you look at Lin Aoxue. If you do it again, I'll break your third leg and make you a eunuch for life."

Su Rui's eyes were filled with unhidden killing intent. "Of course, if you continue to harass her, I won't hesitate to take more drastic measures!"

What drastic measures? The answer was obvious!

After saying this, Su Rui turned and left, leaving Song Yili alone in the restroom, breathing heavily!

Lin Aoxue didn't go far. She stood at the corner, quietly watching the scene. When Su Rui released his intense aura, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she turned and left. Su Rui seemed unaware and continued to whistle happily as he returned to the terrace table.

"Sir, Sir, are you okay? What happened?" Two men who looked like bodyguards ran to Song Yili's side, their faces filled with concern.

If their master had come to the restroom and returned in this state, and the old man found out, they would be fired immediately!

"I'm fine," Song Yili's face was dark, and he clenched his fists, staring at the corner. "Lin Aoxue is destined to be mine, and the Biking Group is also destined to be mine. No one can take them away!"

"This man is not simple. It seems our plan needs to change." Song Yili took out his phone and walked to a secluded corner. "Brother Yang, I want to act ahead of schedule."

...

Su Rui didn't dwell on the small incident and enjoyed the feast. After all, not everyone had the means to dine at the Junlan Kempinski. With a big boss like Lin Fuzhang present, he had to take advantage of the opportunity.

Thus, Su Rui devoured dish after dish at an astonishing speed. The people dining here were all high-status individuals, who ate slowly and gracefully. But this guy, instead of using utensils, picked up a whole steak with his fork and bit into it, making Lin Aoxue not want to look at him.

Lin Aoxue's appetite was small, and she needed to maintain her figure. She had already put down her utensils, but the main reason was that she had no appetite facing Su Rui.

Lin Fuzhang didn't mind and raised his glass with a smile. "It seems Brother Su is a man of passion. You eat so heartily."

Su Rui chuckled. "My motto is—eat until you're full, especially when someone else is paying."

Lin Fuzhang's smile froze, while Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth to suppress her laughter.

At that moment, a woman in a white qipao with blue and white porcelain patterns walked over. She looked to be in her early twenties, standing at about 1.75 meters tall. Her long, snow-white legs, paired with the high slit of the qipao, and her ever-smiling eyes made her extremely eye-catching.

Behind her were two waiters, each holding a tray.

"Top-notch leg model!" Su Rui stopped chewing and said in surprise.

Beautiful women were not uncommon, but a beautiful woman with such perfect legs was rare. Her legs were smooth and delicate, like congealed fat, as if they had been soaked in milk for years, evoking endless fantasies.

Many men, upon seeing this woman, would likely think of... how to carry these legs over their shoulders!

"Who is she?"

Su Rui asked instinctively.

Probably only he didn't know. This top-notch long-legged beauty was Qin Yueyan, known as the "Queen of Junlan"!

To be the general manager of the Junlan Kempinski at such a young age, despite the many malicious speculations and rumors, it was clear that Qin Yueyan was a woman with a strong background.

Qin Yueyan rarely made personal appearances, so the guests were naturally staring at her, especially her legs, which were extremely eye-catching.

"Knowing that Chairman Lin is here, I came to offer a toast," Qin Yueyan said with a smile, holding a wine glass.

Su Rui looked at her, then at Xia Qing and Lin Aoxue, and couldn't help but feel that his first day in Ninghai had already brought him so many beautiful women. How would he survive the days to come?
