Chapter 671: Techniques to Coax a Woman

Lin Yuan was made stiff all over by her actions, just about to speak, but Su Monong suddenly pressed his cheek……

Su Monong stopped kissing, her eyes full of anger and anxiety……

Su Monong's tone carried a hint of reprimand, also hiding a barely perceptible reliance: "Lin Yuan, did I tell you to resign?"

She leaned in close to him, their noses almost touching……

Su Monong's tone grew more solemn, with unquestionable firmness: "My Su Group will be handed over to you to manage; you say you'll leave and just go—who will take over? Who will help me steady the situation? Who will protect me and Zhi Yuan?"

As her words fell, Su Monong didn't wait for Lin Yuan's response, and lowered her head again……

Su Monong, uncontrollable……

This time, her uncontrollable…… is love, is pain, is endless longing, and more so is the repressed grievance, resentment, and hidden affection buried in her heart……

She tightly wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck……

Lin Yuan looked at the tears and determination in her eyes, his inner guilt and helplessness…… were instantly replaced by deep emotion……

Lin Yuan stopped struggling, reached out and gently embraced Su Monong's waist, responding to her feelings……

Lin Yuan's fingertips…… stroked her hair, soothing her emotions.

The ambiguous atmosphere inside the car grew increasingly intense; the originally cold atmosphere had long been replaced by fervent affection.

Not long after……

The following scenes, not suitable for minors…… rely entirely on the reader's imagination……

The car windows were tightly shut, shutting out the outside world, leaving only…… space for the reader's endless imagination……

This intertwined feeling, in the quiet residential area, quietly spread, harboring the unspoken feelings and bonds between the two.

……

Two hours later.

Not suitable for minors ends…

Gradually faded……

Su Monong leaned against Lin Yuan's chest, her breathing still somewhat rapid.

Su Monong's face…… still bore a lingering flush.

But the anger in her eyes had long since dissipated, ……

At this moment, Su Monong was left with only a faint sense of grievance and reliance.

Lin Yuan gently stroked her hair, his heart full of guilt,.

Lin Yuan lowered his head……% imprinted a gentle kiss on her forehead, whispered an apology:

"Mo Nong, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you, made you angry—don't be mad anymore, okay? I'll properly coax you."

Su Monong raised her head, looking at his eyes filled with sincerity and guilt……

Su Monong's eye sockets slightly reddened, her tone still carrying a hint of playful teasing and questioning:

"Just saying sorry is enough? Lin Yuan, tell me, why did you hide it from me? You are clearly the Academic God of Zhijiang University, clearly capable of helping me, yet you keep perfunctorily treating me and deceiving me—what exactly are you afraid of?"

Lin Yuan let out a sigh, gently holding her hand……

Lin Yuan's tone helpless yet solemn, he slowly explained:

"Director Su, I didn't intend to deceive you; I also have my difficulties. My Lin family's ancestral traditional Chinese medicine, passed down through generations, has never dealt with the business world, nor do I want business people to know of our existence, fearing unnecessary trouble, and more so fearing to disrupt our family's inheritance rules……"

"That's why I have always concealed my identity as the Academic God, not daring to let you know."

Su Monong listened quietly, the grievance on her face gradually fading a bit……

But Su Monong still carried a hint of dominance, reaching out to pinch his cheek……

Su Monong's tone carried a hint of threat:

"I don't care about your family rules; since you've hidden this from me for so long, you must compensate me. Help me develop the X Vaccine—as long as you can help me stabilize the Su Group, help me successfully develop the X Vaccine, I will forgive you; otherwise, don't even think I'll ever pay attention to you again, let alone forgive you."

Lin Yuan looked at her playful yet domineering appearance, his guilt and helplessness intertwined.

Lin Yuan was just about to speak again when Su Monong suddenly exerted force, pushing him down onto the seat once more……

Su Monong leaned in close to him, her eyes full of slyness and fervor:

"How? Not willing?"

Lin Yuan looked at her eyes filled with expectation and obstinacy, and ultimately gave in……

Lin Yuan helplessly shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence:

"Willing, I'm willing to help you, as long as you can forgive me, no matter what you ask me to do, I'm willing."

Upon hearing his answer, Su Monong's face instantly showed a smile.

Su Monong lowered her head…… lightly kissed his lips……

Su Monong's tone softened considerably: "That's about right."

That night, Su Monong did not return home, but instead followed Lin Yuan back to his house……

That night, Su Monong stayed overnight at Shidai Gongyu.

As the night deepened, the lights at Lin Yuan's home lingered on……

In the room…… once again rose the couple's gentle whispers……

The two, once again entwined throughout the night……

This night……

All misunderstandings and barriers gradually melted away in this fervent bond.

……

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight streamed through the curtain gap into the room.

Su Monong woke up first, her face shedding the previous day's fatigue and coldness.

Su Monong's complexion was rosy like a blooming rose, her eyes…… filled with tenderness and luster nourished by love,.

At this moment, Su Monong showed no trace of yesterday's anger and grievance.

She gently got up, carefully avoiding the sleeping Lin Yuan.

Su Monong tidied her clothes and drove alone to the Su Group……

To avoid suspicion, she and Lin Yuan went to work at the company separately.

Along the way, Su Monong drove, the corners of her red lips…… all brimming with an uncontainable smile, her whole person exuding a vibrant aura.

……

Not long after Su Monong left, Lin Yuan slowly woke up.

Lin Yuan let out a long sigh.

He rubbed his swollen temples; in the mirror, his reflection showed deep black circles under his eyes, a pale complexion, and an exhausted expression……

Obviously, Lin Yuan was exhausted…… needed rest,

After resting a moment, Lin Yuan barely managed to get himself together.

He dragged his weary body and drove to the company.

Lin Yuan thought…… after last night's reconciliation, everything would return to normal……

But he never expected that greater trouble was still waiting for him.

Lin Yuan entered the Su Group; employees' gazes toward him carried a hint of strangeness.

Because Lin Yuan at this moment was very exhausted.

With two black circles under his eyes, he was utterly exhausted.

Colleagues were astonished; Manager Lin last night—what happened?

Even walking felt a bit unsteady.

But no one dared to ask further.

Lin Yuan ignored those gazes and headed straight to his office……

He just wanted to rest properly, then begin preparing the research work for the X Vaccine.

But Lin Yuan had just entered his office when he hadn't even had time to sit down……

The office door was suddenly shoved open.

Su Zhiyuan wore a sharp professional outfit, her face icy, her eyes full of anger, and strode straight in.

Behind Su Zhiyuan…… followed two administrative staff, their expressions solemn.

Obviously, Su Monong had been pacified, but her daughter still hadn't forgiven Lin Yuan's deception.

Su Zhiyuan stood with hands on hips, looking down at Lin Yuan from above.

Su Zhiyuan's tone was icy and decisive, with no room for leniency: 'Lin Yuan, you're fired.'

As the deputy general manager of the Su Group, she had sufficient authority to make this decision.

The anger and grievance in Su Zhiyuan's eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

She always remembered the taste of being continually deceived by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's body stiffened; the fatigue on his face…… was instantly replaced by shock.

He looked at the furious Su Zhiyuan before him and sighed helplessly……

Lin Yuan's heart was filled with bitterness.

Su Monong had just been appeased here, but Su Zhiyuan came again to 'question him,' even directly demanding his dismissal……

Now he was truly caught in a dilemma.

Lin Yuan knew Su Zhiyuan was young, spoiled, and responsive to softness, not hardness.

Arguing stubbornly would only make her angrier.

Only by coaxing her well could she be calmed.

Helpless, Lin Yuan could only lower his stance……

Lin Yuan secretly calculated…… ways to appease Su Zhiyuan.

Lin Yuan said helplessly, 'Zhi Yuan, is this really necessary?'

Su Zhiyuan replied coldly, 'Don't call me Zhi Yuan; you're not worthy! Before this evening, pack up your things and leave the company!'

Having said that, Su Zhiyuan stormed out of the office with the two administrative staff, angry.

Watching Su Zhiyuan's retreating figure, Lin Yuan gave a helpless, wry smile.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was noon……

Lin Yuan deliberately left the office early and headed straight to the company cafeteria.

He greeted the cafeteria chef and borrowed a spot in the back kitchen.

Then Lin Yuan rolled up his sleeves and began busily working in the company kitchen.

Usually steady and capable, he became unusually meticulous when cooking—chopping, stir-frying, seasoning—his movements flowed smoothly……

Not long after, several dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and flavor, were placed on the previously reserved table; the fragrance spread, drawing frequent glances from passing employees.

Su Zhiyuan then entered the cafeteria, emanating a chill.

Her face still bore unresolved anger; obviously she was still mad at Lin Yuan.

She found a seat and had the staff serve her a meal……

But Su Zhiyuan, after just one bite, furrowed her brows—clearly not to her taste.

Just then, she caught a whiff of rich fragrance from nearby……

Su Zhiyuan instinctively looked over; she saw that table's food looked tempting, its aroma hitting her nose, instantly arousing her appetite.

Su Zhiyuan hesitated a moment, then rose and walked over, found an empty seat, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly——

The flavor of this dish is exactly what she likes best.

Fresh, fragrant, and delicious, fully flavored, even tastier than what the cafeteria chef makes.

As she ate, she couldn't help nodding, and the anger on her face faded a bit.

Just as Su Zhiyuan was enjoying her meal, a familiar figure approached, holding a bowl of freshly ladled soup, which he gently placed before her.

Su Zhiyuan looked up and saw it was Lin Yuan……

Lin Yuan's face still showed a hint of fatigue, but he spoke gently, "Eat slowly, don't choke, have some more soup."

Su Zhiyuan's body tensed, and her chopsticks froze in her hand.

A flash of surprise crossed her face, then turned into a hint of playful annoyance.

Su Zhiyuan pouted, her tone still carrying a bit of dissatisfaction: "So it was you who made this? Lin Yuan gege, don't think this will make me forgive you—I'm still angry!"

Though she said that, her chopsticks didn't stop; she kept eating big bites, clearly moved by the delicious food.

Lin Yuan watched her say one thing while doing another, and a hint of indulgent smile appeared in his eyes.

Lin Yuan took out a delicate jewelry box from his pocket, gently placed it before her, and said slowly:

"I know you're still angry; this is for you, consider it my apology gift. I hope it helps you calm down."

Su Zhiyuan curiously picked up the jewelry box, opened it, and saw a dazzling diamond bracelet lying inside, the diamonds sparkling under the light, exquisite and beautiful.

This was exactly the one she had admired in the jewelry store but couldn't bring herself to buy.

Su Zhiyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and the anger on her face completely dissipated.

Su Zhiyuan still put on an affected airs, pouting, her tone much softer: "Since you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

After saying that, she picked up the bracelet, handed it to Lin Yuan, indicating he should help her put it on……

Then, Su Zhiyuan fixed her gaze on Lin Yuan and said sternly: "Lin Yuan, I'm telling you, from now on you're not allowed to lie to me, no matter what difficulties you have, you must tell me—got it?"

Lin Yuan quickly nodded, his tone solemn: "Don't worry, Zhiyuan, I'll never lie to you again; no matter what happens, I will definitely tell you, without hiding anything."

Hearing Lin Yuan's promise, Su Zhiyuan finally smiled.

She was like a child who got candy, her eyes full of joy, smiling as she said: "That's about right! Since you gave me a gift, I'll give you one too."

Lin Yuan froze for a moment, then curiously asked: "Oh? What gift?"

Su Zhiyuan, however, mysteriously blinked, curled the corner of her mouth into a sly smile, and said:

"It's a secret! I'll give it to you later this evening after work, hehe."

Lin Yuan looked at her mysterious demeanor, his eyes full of suspicion……

Lin Yuan muttered to himself: "This girl, what's she up to again? Why is she being so mysterious?"

"'But after he asked a few times, Su Zhiyuan still refused to reveal it, just kept laughing and shaking her head……

Lin Yuan could only resign himself, his heart full of anticipation and doubt.

……

Time flew by, and before he knew it, it was evening, time to get off work.

Lin Yuan had just tidied up the things on his desk, preparing to leave work.

The office door…… was gently pushed open,

Su Zhiyuan's hands…… held an exquisite gift box as she hurried inside.

Su Zhiyuan placed the gift box on Lin Yuan's office desk.

"Lin Yuan gege, your gift!" Su Zhiyuan said with a sweet smile.

She still said mysteriously, "You must wait until you get home to open it—no peeking now!"

After saying that, she turned and hurried out of the office, not forgetting to gently close the door behind her……

Only Lin Yuan remained, staring at the gift box on his desk, his face full of doubt??

Lin Yuan grew ever more curious…… what exactly was inside.

Lin Yuan stared at the gift box on his desk for a long time, his fingertips lightly rubbing the exquisite surface……

He couldn't help muttering to himself: "This girl, what's she up to, making a gift so mysterious—could she be teasing me again?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, suppressing his curiosity, and didn't think about it further……

He picked up the gift box, tidied his desk, then rose and left the office, driving home.

……

Not long after, Lin Yuan drove to Shidai Gongyu……

He arrived home.

Lin Yuan shed his fatigue, simply changed into comfortable home clothes, and walked into the kitchen.

After bustling for over half an hour, a few simple yet tasty home-cooked dishes were served, with meat and vegetables, their aroma filling the air.

He sat alone at the dining table, slowly eating his dinner……

Lin Yuan's mind…… recalled the mysterious gift box Su Zhiyuan had given him.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yuan sat on the sofa in the living room.

He finally could no longer suppress his curiosity, placing the exquisite gift box on his lap.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, gently untied the ribbon on the gift box, and carefully opened the lid……

But when he saw what was inside the box, Lin Yuan's whole body froze instantly, the lid in his hand nearly slipping……

Lin Yuan's eyes…… were filled with disbelief, even his breathing…… unconsciously halted.
