Chapter 41

In the dark, prison-like space, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge muttered to herself, her consciousness slowly sinking and slipping out of control.

Snap!

It seemed as if some taut string had snapped; completely relaxed, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge...

She fell asleep...

Before this.

Only her body had been sleeping.

But her mind had been trapped in an environment of extreme suppression and pain, her consciousness always awake, muddled and dim...

Because she was afraid, afraid that once her consciousness vanished,

she might drift off completely and become a living corpse without even a sense of self...

But now, she had suddenly relaxed, suddenly feeling she could rest for a while without any worries.

Because that man had said...

Before I wake up, he will guard everything I cherish for me...

He is so capable, he will surely be able to do it, right?

I am so tired!

So...

So even if it’s just for a little while, let me sleep well...

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

The next day.

When Su Su Su Su Su Qingge regained consciousness, before her eyes was still a void of darkness.

I fell asleep?

I actually fell asleep???

How long have I been asleep...

Lacking any concept of time and unable to perceive the outside world, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge was suddenly gripped by panic.

She was terrified that she was like the protagonists in certain movies.

Waking up after a single sleep to find decades had passed.

Wait, this familiar scent...

Although she couldn't move, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge could still sense a faint, familiar floral fragrance wafting toward her.

That is... the scent of violets.

Smelling this familiar scent, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s heart immediately felt much more at ease.

This exact same scent...

It must be the kind of violets Lin Xuan gave me.

Where is Lin Xuan? Where is he?

If it were usual, after he gave me violets, he would have taken my hand and sat by my side to keep me company...

Only smelling the fragrance, but not seeing the familiar person.

Su Su Su Su Su Qingge felt very unaccustomed to it, and deep down, there was a sense of loss and unease.

Click!

"Su Su Su Su Qingge! Your house is just too big; I have to run so far just to use the bathroom."

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, that familiar voice rang out, and Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly settled.

He... is still here!

Immediately after.

Su Su Su Su Su Qingge sensed someone sitting beside her, and a familiar warmth once again reached her palm.

"Su Su Su Su Qingge! Your grandfather is truly decisive. He only got the prescription from me last night, and today he’s already supervising production."

"This energy is simply more vigorous than a young person's..."

Listening to the familiar way of complaining, and the content of the complaint itself,

Su Su Su Su Su Qingge finally relaxed completely.

From these few words, she had deduced that only one night had passed...

After a while longer.

"Alright, Su Su Su Su Qingge! It’s time for the crowd-pleasing massage session, hehehehehe..."

Listening to Lin Xuan’s lecherous, predatory chuckle, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge found it quite amusing.

[This laugh... why does it sound so much like a villain!]

[If you have the guts, take advantage of me then.]

[You talk a big game, but you’re actually just giving a proper massage. Am I really that lacking in charm...]

In the dark space of her consciousness, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge complained repeatedly.

After spending so much time together.

At this point, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge no longer felt any repulsion or awkwardness toward Lin Xuan’s proximity.

Instead, deep down, she had a tiny hope that Lin Xuan would be a bit less proper with her.

That would prove her charm...

At this moment.

Perhaps even Su Su Su Su Su Qingge herself didn't realize that her androphobia had completely failed in front of Lin Xuan.

Just as Lin Xuan’s side was filled with the silent scent of a couple’s affection...

The Lin family villa.

Smoke filled the air.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Jianjun, with a grim expression, sat on the sofa, smoking continuously.

And at his feet, a closer look revealed a pile of cigarette butts.

"Daddy! The total liquid capital we can withdraw from the company right now is 2 billion."

"This is already the limit; any more would seriously affect the company’s normal operations."

Beside Lin Lin Lin Lin Jianjun.

Lin Hao frowned as he stated the amount of funds he had tracked down.

However, Lin Lin Lin Lin Jianjun had long anticipated this figure.

He exhaled a deep cloud of white smoke and continued to ask:

"Then how much money did we raise in total from selling those luxury villas, supercars, and stocks over the past two days?"

"Husband! I handled those things, and we sold everything for a total of 500 million."

Bai Yuelan, wearing a tight-fitting skirt, replied with a yawn.

Her face was full of exhaustion, and her eyes were surrounded by dark circles.

Not just her; Lin Lin Lin Lin Jianjun and the other were much the same.

To scrape together 3 billion these past few days,

they had exhausted every method, so busy they didn't even have time to eat or sleep.

But the three of them dared not rest...

After all, according to the rumors they had received,

recently, it wasn't just some ambitious shareholders on the board,

but also major wealthy families in Shanghai who had shown interest in buying shares from Lin Xuan.

To prevent the shares that belonged to them from falling into others' hands,

Lin Lin Lin Lin Jianjun could only grit his teeth and find ways to raise funds.

"That’s only 2.5 billion! It’s still not enough..."

Hearing that they were still a few hundred million short of the 3 billion, Lin Lin Lin Lin Jianjun’s face turned as dark as water.

Seeing this.
