Chapter 88

“It seems that as long as I get through this week safely, I can successfully call off the engagement.”

Due to Chen Chen Chen Chen Kexin’s firm opposition,

having no other choice,

Chen’s father and mother had to settle for the next best thing and made a gentleman’s agreement with Su Fan.

Within one week, Su Fan was required to be responsible for being their daughter’s personal bodyguard.

As long as after one week,

Chen Chen Chen Chen Kexin still had no interest in him, the marriage contract would be voided!!!

The Su family, in the young lady’s bedroom.

*Ring-ring*—

The young man who was “huffing and puffing” while massaging Su Su Su Su Su Qingge was suddenly interrupted by a phone ringtone.

He frowned, picked up the phone on the table, and answered.

“Hello.”

“Help me! *Onii-chan*~~”

“Huh???”

“.........”

Two minutes later, Lin Xuan, having understood the situation, hung up the phone.

A strange smile lingered on his lips; a personal bodyguard for a *chuunibyou* girl?

*Pfft*~~

Other protagonists are personal experts for school beauties or bodyguards for beautiful CEOs, but my brother-in-law ended up with a *chuunibyou* girl...

Brother-in-law, I’ll mourn for you for one second!

[What’s going on?]

[Who called? Listening to Lin Xuan’s reply, it seems to be... that girl Chen Chen Chen Kexin?]

[Why did she call Lin Xuan???]

In the dark cage of consciousness...

Su Su Su Su Su Qingge concentrated, eavesdropping gossip, but unfortunately, she only heard a little bit.

And at this moment,

she felt breathing close to her ear, and a warm breath hit her ear canal, making it itch.

“Su Su Su Su Qingge, curious about who called me? It was actually Chen Chen Chen Kexin.”

“She said Su Fan arrived at her house and is now her personal bodyguard for a week.”

“But she can’t even endure it for a day, so she wants to use her friend’s birthday tomorrow as an excuse to find a way to drive Su Fan away and invited me to go with her.”

“I agreed; after all, this was already discussed. And I’m also a tiny bit curious about this man who shares your surname...”

“..........”

After listening to Lin Xuan’s explanation, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge suddenly realized.

But hearing Lin Xuan say he would go to the appointment tomorrow, she felt a little lost.

This meant there would be a period tomorrow when she wouldn't hear Lin Xuan’s voice...

“Su Su Su Su Qingge, are you reluctant to let me go?”

“If you are, just move your finger, and I won’t go and will stay to accompany you.”

Listening to Lin Xuan’s teasing, joking voice in her ear,

Su Su Su Su Su Qingge felt a bit defiant; stubborn by nature, she didn't want to admit the hot, restless emotions in her heart.

[Who is reluctant to let you go!]

[I can’t wait to have a day off?!]

[Go, go, go, hurry up and go. Don’t bother me!]

[Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮]

[I’ve never touched a man, and I have no interest in men!]

In Lin Xuan’s surprised gaze, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s finger really moved.

Her tender white index finger drew “×” strokes in his palm at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Xuan: “..........”

This girl is quite *tsundere* now. (`へ′*)ノ

Just as the two were enjoying their silent, warm time...

Outside,

a sudden noise erupted.

“Miss Su! Mr. Lin is currently massaging Miss Su Su Su Su Qingge, please wait a moment.”

Liu Juan’s voice came, accompanied by another arrogant and domineering voice...

“Get lost, what do I need to wait for to see my own niece?”

“..........”

It’s actually her?!

Just from a few words, Lin Xuan knew who had arrived!

His face darkened instantly.

Because the person who arrived...

was the culprit who caused Su Su Su Su Su Qingge to become a vegetable...

Many people are going back to school, o(╥﹏╥)o give me a gift before school starts.

This Crown Prince will wait for all the ministers to return, until the day this book reaches its finale...

The world is vast, we shall meet again!

*Click!*

The door was suddenly opened.

A woman who looked to be in her 30s ignored Liu Juan’s obstruction and forcibly pushed the housekeeper aside to squeeze in.

She immediately attracted Lin Xuan’s attention.

A purple *qipao* dress.

Red high heels.

A full figure.

A beautiful face that was 70-80% similar to Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s.

Even Lin Xuan had to admit that the woman had inherited the Su family’s excellent facial genes and could be considered a beautiful woman.

“It’s just a pity...”

“She’s also a snake-hearted, love-brained fool...”

Lin Xuan sneered in his heart.

On the other side,

as soon as the beautiful woman entered, she scanned Lin Xuan on the hospital bed with hostility.

“You are the *chongxi* son-in-law for Su Su Su Su Qingge? Are you that rude?”

“Hmph! Are you mute? You don’t even greet your elders; you really have no respect.”

Ignoring the other party’s aggressiveness, Lin Xuan feigned confusion:

“Elder? I don’t know whose elder you are. Forcing your way in without knocking or permission.”

“Such an ill-mannered elder? I just thought some small-time thug had broken into the house.”

Hearing the sarcasm in Lin Xuan’s words,

the beautiful woman’s face flushed red, and her beautiful eyes glared at Lin Xuan.

“Listen clearly, I am Su Su Su Su Qingge’s aunt, Su Yan.”

“Oh~~”

Lin Xuan responded coldly and perfunctorily.

At the same time, the relevant plot about her surfaced in his mind.

Su Yan.

Su Su Su Shengtian’s daughter, Su Fan and his sister’s aunt, a top-tier villainous relative.

An ultimate, bizarre, love-brained fool.

As a wealthy heiress, she fell in love with a man in his 50s and, in order to run away with him, even went so far as to sever her father-daughter relationship with Su Su Su Shengtian.

She even called it:

“You don’t understand! I’m doing this to pursue true love.”

In the later stages of the novel, she even sold out family secrets for the old man, making Su Su Su Su Su Qingge and her grandfather unable to tolerate it anymore, eventually sending her to prison.

“Then I don’t know what business this Elder Su has visiting today?”

“As Su Su Su Su Qingge’s aunt, do I need a reason to see her?”

Su Yan asked back and pointed the finger at Lin Xuan again.

“It’s you who are as uneducated as the rumors say; what qualifications do you have to marry my Su Su Su Su Qingge?”

“Whether I have the qualifications is not for you to decide. Since Grandpa Su and Su Su Su Su Qingge don’t object, I won’t trouble you, an... elder, to worry about it.”

“You, you... you really have a sharp tongue!”

“You’re too kind!”

“？？？！！！”

Glaring at the young man in front of her, Su Yan felt a surge of anger and also found him extremely difficult to deal with.

She had thought that as an elder, she could easily manipulate Lin Xuan.

But she never expected...

that Lin Xuan would be so lacking in manners?!

Facing an elder’s lecture, not only did he not accept it humbly, but he also wouldn't let her have the last word, retorting every single sentence.

And just as the two were clashing!

In the dark cage of consciousness...

The moment she heard her aunt’s voice,

a chill rose involuntarily in Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s heart.

Even now...

there was still no conclusion as to the cause of her coma.

Su Su Su Su Su Qingge had suddenly gone black in front of her eyes at home, fell into a coma, and never woke up.

This was recognized by everyone as a “strange illness.”

But only Su Su Su Su Su Qingge knew...

her coma was very likely man-made.

She still remembered that day.

Facing her aunt’s sudden awakening and closeness, she had no guard and was even very gratified.

She took the tea Su Yan handed her and drank it all in one go.

After returning to the Su family!

The next day, while exercising, she suddenly felt weak all over, and everything went black...

Although Su Su Su Su Su Qingge was only guessing now and had no direct evidence that her coma was caused by her aunt,

the details and a strong intuition

still made Su Su Su Su Su Qingge... associate it with the most chilling possibility...

The reason she became a vegetable might be inseparable from her aunt...

And this cruel possibility

made Su Su Su Su Su Qingge feel the most chilling and heartbreaking...

Since her parents and brother passed away, her closest family members were only her grandfather and Aunt Su Yan...

So Su Su Su Su Su Qingge really didn't want to believe that this last relative would harm her?!

Aunt!

Could it be that for the sake of the “true love” you speak of, you could abandon your family...

[Aunt, I really hope it wasn’t you?!]

[Otherwise, how could I face you in the future...]

[But I’ve been in a coma for so long, why did Aunt choose this time to come see me?]

[Could it be...]

[Is it because I’m gradually recovering? Put yourself in her shoes!]

[If I were the murderer, I definitely wouldn't want the victim to wake up...]

[After all, this would increase the risk of being exposed.]

[If there’s a chance, I might even want to personally stifle the possibility of the victim speaking again...]

A terrible, absurd possibility kept flashing in Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s mind.

This made her very fearful and uneasy.

But as a vegetable, she couldn't move at all, couldn't make any move to stop it, and could only be slaughtered like a lamb waiting to be butchered.

At this moment,

all kinds of uneasy and restless emotions filled Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s heart; she was terrified to the extreme.

The reason for her coma...

no one knows yet, and it might be related to Aunt Su Yan, so no one would be on guard against her.

If her aunt wanted to do something to her while she hadn't fully recovered, she would be completely unable to resist.

Thinking of this, Su Su Su Su Su Qingge felt a wave of panic.

She wanted to seek help, wanted to tell the people around her about her guess, wanted someone to protect her...

Just then!

A familiar warmth came from her palm, instantly dispelling her unease.

“Su Su Su Su Qingge, why is your heartbeat so fast? Are you afraid of something?”

“It’s okay! With me here, I will protect you.”

The steady, powerful voice came from her ear like a heavenly sound, filling Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s heart with a sense of security.

[Lin Xuan, he said he would protect me.]

[Yes! With him here, I don’t need to worry about anything...]

[Because he will definitely protect me.]

[Just like he guarded the Su family for me, he will protect me now too.]

[What should I do? This man is really too charming.]

[After I wake up... can I really make up my mind to separate from him...]

On the other side,

Lin Xuan held the girl’s small hand, feeling the cold sweat in her palm, lost in thought.

It seems Su Su Su Su Su Qingge has long been suspicious of her aunt.

It’s just that out of consideration for their blood relationship...

so in the novel’s plot, after Su Su Su Su Su Qingge woke up, she didn't delve into the reason she became a vegetable.

It was only later that Su Yan’s “love-brained” self-destructive behavior went too far and touched Su Su Su Su Su Qingge’s bottom line.

That was why she tearfully sent this last remaining relative off the stage...
