Chapter 17

Just then, he happened to run into Butler Liu, who was coming the other way.

"Mr. Lin, you... you've returned?"

Looking at the travel-worn young man, the beautiful middle-aged butler was quite surprised.

She had not expected Lin Xuan to return so quickly.

"Yes! Sister Liu Juan, I wonder if my room has been prepared? Could you please take me there first to drop off my luggage?"

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, speaking politely to the beautiful butler before him.

Although Liu Juan was only a butler, her status within the Su family was not low.

It could be said that she had watched Su Qingge and her brother grow up from childhood; the two parties were not blood relatives, but they were closer than family.

Therefore, Lin Xuan did not mind building a good relationship with her.

Hearing Lin Xuan sweetly call her "Sister Liu."

Liu Juan was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, her impression of Lin Xuan improved by a few degrees.

As a hired butler.

Apart from the Su family members, most of the young masters she usually encountered treated her with a condescending attitude; it was quite rare to find someone as polite as Lin Xuan.

【Rumor has it that the eldest young master of the Lin family is impulsive, hot-tempered, fond of violence, and disrespectful to his elders.】

【It seems these are all baseless slanders!】

Liu Juan thought to herself, and her resistance toward Lin Xuan marrying into the Su family lessened slightly.

She immediately led the way, signaling for Lin Xuan to follow behind her.

"Mr. Lin! Please come with me; the Chairman has already arranged a room for you."

"Sorry to trouble you, Sister Liu Juan."

Then, the two walked toward the second floor, during which Lin Xuan asked about Su Shengtian's whereabouts.

"I heard that a batch of medical equipment produced by the company had problems, so the Chairman went back to handle it."

Upon hearing this.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.

It seems the bankruptcy crisis the Su family is about to face has its fuse right here...

After reaching the second floor.

Liu Juan stopped in front of Su Qingge's room door, then pointed to a guest room not far away.

"The Chairman said to let Mr. Lin stay next to the Young Lady for the time being."

"Of course! If Mr. Lin feels he doesn't like it, we can also arrange a new residence for you."

Lin Xuan was just about to shake his head to indicate that no change was needed.

When his stomach suddenly let out a "grumble~~" sound.

"Sorry! I was too busy today and didn't have time to eat lunch."

Even with Lin Xuan's thick skin, he scratched his head in slight embarrassment at this moment.

However, Liu Juan was very understanding; she smiled and told Lin Xuan to put his luggage away first while she went to prepare food for him, then turned and left...

Click!

Seeing the other party's back disappear, Lin Xuan then opened the door and walked in.

The room was clean, tidy, and spotless.

Compared to the damp storage room his predecessor lived in, it was simply heaven.

Moreover, it was very close to Su Qingge's room, which was very convenient for him to obtain "cuddle" points.

Therefore, Lin Xuan was quite satisfied.

After simply putting his luggage away, he walked out of the room and came to Su Qingge's door.

Through the open door.

He saw the young girl with an angelic face sleeping soundly.

It was exactly the same as when he had left before.

The only difference was the changed bedsheets and the new, clean clothes on her body.

At this moment, Liu Juan's invitation came from behind him.

"Mr. Lin! Please come with me; lunch has been prepared for you."

As the saying goes...

People are iron, rice is steel; one gets hungry if they don't eat a meal.

Lin Xuan decided to fill his stomach first before he would have the energy to consider other matters...

And when the two disappeared at the doorway, they did not know that the commotion here had already been heard by Su Qingge.

【Lin Xuan is back?】

【And he moved directly into the room next to mine?】

【It seems Grandfather was serious about the marriage for good luck...】

Inside the pitch-black cage of consciousness.

Su Qingge, who was originally immersed in pain, was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

Then, a trace of shame arose.

As the first man to see her incontinence.

In the depths of her heart, Su Qingge was actually very unwilling to face Lin Xuan.

But she could not move and could only silently accept all of Su Shengtian's arrangements.

【However...】

【If the marriage for good luck really worked, that would be great, but... would it really be useful...】

Regarding the marriage for good luck her grandfather spoke of.

In the past, Su Qingge did not believe it at all and would only sneer at it.

This kind of feudal superstition.

In her eyes, it was just self-consolation for old people.

Otherwise, the coffin lids of scientists would have collectively been unable to be held down long ago.

But as the saying goes!

A drowning person in despair will hold tightly onto even a straw.

And Lin Xuan now was like that life-saving straw in Su Qingge's heart.

Although she knew the hope was slim, she was already nearly in despair.

She still took this seemingly insignificant hope as the belief to keep going...

Five minutes later.

Lin Xuan, having eaten his fill, returned to the second floor of the villa and walked toward Su Qingge's room.

He held his round belly, feeling satisfied.

Click!

Pushing open the girl's boudoir, the scene he saw made the smile on Lin Xuan's face freeze.

He saw several private doctors in white coats standing inside.

They were helping Su Qingge eat.

Because a vegetative patient cannot chew or swallow food on their own.

So, to help Su Qingge obtain water and food to maintain her body's metabolism, weight, and nutrition to survive.

The doctors chose to perform nasal feeding through a long-term indwelling gastric tube.

They inserted a long, thin, transparent tube into the girl's nasal cavity, and the gastric tube finally entered the esophagus through the nasal cavity.

Then, they used a blender to grind the food into a liquid nutritional solution and put it into a syringe.

Then, they connected the large syringe to the feeding port of the gastric tube connector.

After confirming the connection was secure.

The doctors manually pressurized the plunger to continuously inject water and food into Su Qingge's stomach...

Lin Xuan watched all this silently, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Su Qingge... she must be very uncomfortable right now..."
