Chapter 19

After all, both Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhou had watched Lu Xinxin grow up, so they naturally knew her temperament. How could she possibly give Su Yang a gentle back massage in front of everyone?

"Could it be that Mr. Su told Xinxin the truth, and she, out of gratitude, behaved this way?" This thought had just arisen when Mr. Lu, who had watched his granddaughter grow up, immediately dismissed it.

Mr. Zhou, after a brief and concise description by Xiao Dong, burst into laughter, "You little girl have finally met your match. I haven't laughed so heartily in a long time."

Mr. Lu also seemed to realize something and laughed, "Silly girl, with your meager skills, you dare to challenge Little Friend Su. You really don't know your place!"

The term "Little Friend Su" was used in front of others. Previously, Su Yang had indicated to Mr. Lu that he did not want others to know about their relationship and forbade him from revealing his identity and background.

Seeing her elders witness her embarrassing moment, especially with her grandfather present, Lu Xinxin, being a girl, felt both annoyed and embarrassed, her face flushing with shyness.

She had been practicing internal strength since childhood, and after several attempts, she knew that Su Yang's abilities far exceeded her own. However, her strong personality led her to speak boldly. If she didn't know how to back down, and Su Yang didn't show any intention of letting her off even with the appearance of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lu, she would be in a difficult position.

What made Lu Xinxin most frustrated was that even her grandfather was helping the bad boy bully her. In a fit of anger, tears streamed down her eyes.

Su Yang, who was most afraid of women crying, seeing this situation, stopped and muttered, "Crying women are indeed creatures that can't be provoked."

"You... You bully people..." Perhaps due to the significant effort she had just exerted, Lu Xinxin panted and said angrily.

"Accept the consequences of your bet. Isn't it time to fulfill your bet now?" Su Yang touched his nose, showing no mercy.

"Grandpa, he's bullying me." Facing Su Yang, who had completely overwhelming strength, Lu Xinxin used her last resort, running to Mr. Lu and complaining.

Unexpectedly, her grandfather, who had always treated her like a treasure, smiled and said after a while, "Grandpa is just recovering from a serious illness and suddenly feels sleepy. Xinxin, why don't you see Little Friend Su and the others off? You're planning to stay at Uncle Zhou's place during the long holiday anyway, so it's on the way."

The trick that had always worked in the past was now ineffective. Lu Xinxin stopped crying, her large eyes still wet with tears, staring at Su Yang. Finally, she said fiercely, "Bad boy, I will definitely settle accounts with you."

At this moment, Su Yang realized he had been tricked. The girl had been pretending to cry, and the speed at which she changed her expression was truly remarkable.

"Anytime you want to take revenge, I'll get to enjoy a back massage again. Besides, you still owe me the bet, and I'll collect it all at once."

Unable to fight or argue, this was a rare occurrence for Lu Xinxin. She glared at Su Yang, stomped her foot, and ran out of the corridor, leaving behind a slender figure.

At this moment, Mr. Lu chuckled, "Little Friend Su, don't take it to heart. My granddaughter has been spoiled. If you don't mind, I can send her to you for guidance?"

Mr. Lu had a general idea of Su Yang's identity and background. Even if he didn't know that Su Yang was a descendant of the Evil Emperor who had lived for 1,400 years, he knew that even an expert like his uncle, Lu Dingshan, couldn't last thirty moves against Su Yang.

Old and wise, he had a deeper meaning in his words, but it was not appropriate to say it outright.

"Absolutely not, your granddaughter is too mischievous, I'm afraid!" Su Yang laughed, exchanged a meaningful glance with Mr. Lu, and turned to ask, "I've finished what I came for. Who will take me back to Shanghai?"

Mr. Zhou, who had many things to discuss with Mr. Lu as he was just recovering, immediately called Xiao Dong and ordered him to drive Su Yang back to Shanghai.

Before leaving, Mr. Zhou took out a small satellite phone and insisted that Su Yang take it.

"This phone only has one number stored. If you encounter any trouble and don't want to make a big fuss, you can call this number, and someone will help you resolve it promptly."

Considering the other party's good intentions and his own plan to get a phone, Su Yang reluctantly accepted it, but still muttered under his breath, "There's probably nothing in this world that I would consider a trouble..."

Seeing Mr. Zhou give Su Yang the satellite phone, Mr. Lu also smiled and added his number to the phone, "I'll join in the fun. This is my number. If you're bored, feel free to call me, and we can chat."

When Mr. Zhou gave the private satellite phone to Su Yang, Xiao Dong was already shocked. The number stored in the phone connected to a government secret agency dedicated to solving various problems for top leaders. There were no more than thirty people in China with this privilege. As long as it wasn't a major issue, a call from this satellite phone could resolve it immediately.

The power, speed, and scope of this government secret agency were so vast that even compared to violent law enforcement agencies like the National Security and Discipline Inspection Commission, it was no less, and could be called "the relevant department."

Mr. Lu's behavior was even more shocking to Xiao Dong. In China, Mr. Lu was a senior figure in the military, though his influence in politics was less than Mr. Zhou's, he was an absolute authority in the military. By giving his private phone to Su Yang and stating that he could contact him at any time, the treatment was unprecedented and should not have happened.

But all of this was happening right before his eyes. Now, Xiao Dong looked at Su Yang with a mix of awe and respect, even though he appeared to be just a teenager.

After Su Yang left, Mr. Lu pulled Mr. Zhou back into the room and said with a mysterious smile, "Old comrade, did you notice anything just now?"

Mr. Zhou, also a cunning old fox, laughed, "Your Xinxin is already twenty, much older than Little Friend Su."

Mr. Lu said indifferently, "I've already decided. My granddaughter will stay at your place during the long holiday. Whether she will create more 'trouble' for Little Friend Su and make more 'trouble' is your problem to deal with. I'm a patient and need to stay for observation!"

"You old devil, always making me do the hard work."

Mr. Zhou shook his head and laughed, "I never thought that we, two old men, would still have such thoughts. If the other old men in the Central Military Commission knew, they would laugh their heads off."

"Little Friend Su is an extraordinary person, not to be judged by ordinary standards. If you don't say it, and I don't say it, who will know? Ha ha!"

————————————————————————

After arriving in Shanghai, Su Yang returned to Tangcheng Yipin and had a comfortable nap. Healing Mr. Lu had indeed drained him, so he slept very soundly.

When he woke up, the enticing aroma of food woke him up.

Su Yang's stomach growled, and he followed the scent out of the room. The redwood dining table was already set with three steaming home-cooked dishes: tomato and egg stir-fry, sliced beef with green beans, and pork with black fungus.

In the nearby kitchen, Xiao Wei, wearing a pink apron and with a few beads of sweat on her forehead, was placing a dish of pickled pork on the plate, a sweet smile on her lips.

"Hey, you're awake."

Seeing Su Yang approach the kitchen, Xiao Wei's face turned red, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection. Clearly, the all-night conversation a few days ago had made this top-tier celebrity completely trust and depend on Su Yang.

"Who would have thought that my wife is such a good cook. I followed the scent and came here, my stomach growling." Su Yang said, trying to take advantage.

"Who is your wife? You're being disrespectful. Call me 'sister' or you won't get any food," Xiao Wei said playfully.

"Didn't we agree that night that you would call me 'husband' from now on?" Su Yang pretended to be confused, "I've lived for over 1,400 years, so being my wife is no disadvantage to you."

Xiao Wei smiled and placed the last dish on the table, turning to wave, "I can't argue with you. Eat while it's hot. I haven't cooked in a long time, so don't blame me if it's not good."

Su Yang was stunned by the gentle and beautiful image Xiao Wei presented at that moment, feeling a stirring in his heart. Walking to the table, he buried his head and ate heartily, recalling a moment from his past life, his mood fluctuating. His gaze towards Xiao Wei was filled with deep affection. Suddenly, he stood up and, in the next moment, was in front of Xiao Wei, leaning in to kiss her red lips.

In that instant, Xiao Wei felt as if an electric current had run through her body, but she did not resist or struggle. After a while, her defenses were broken, and her soft, smooth tongue touched Su Yang's.

Xiao Wei's body and soul reached the peak of pleasure in that moment, a nameless emotion stirring in her heart.

From shyness to openness, then to taking the initiative, and finally to a passionate kiss, everything happened so naturally.

After a long time, they parted.

The beauty's eyes were filled with tears of joy and gratitude, looking at Su Yang, she softly called, "Husband."

The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman. Su Yang showed a rare serious expression, gently holding Xiao Wei's shoulder, and said solemnly, "You are my woman. From now on, I will never let anyone bully you. I will protect you for the rest of my life."

"I believed in you from the beginning, and it hasn't changed."

Xiao Wei nodded, her tears turning to a smile, her arms wrapping around Su Yang's neck, and she said softly, "After a good meal, Husband, do you want to bathe and change clothes before sleeping?"

The temptation was absolute and irresistible.

Su Yang scooped Xiao Wei into his arms and, in a flash, entered the bathroom.
