Chapter 72: The Bad Woman Won't Let Go

Xiao Ruoyu playfully stuck out her little tongue, her pair of bright, beautiful eyes looking at Su Chen as she spoke.

"Hehe, you said it yourself; don't blame this Young Master for being 'ruthless' later."

Hearing this, Su Chen grinned, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, let out a wicked laugh, and lowered his head once more to block her little mouth.

Xiao Ruoyu's words of love acted like a catalyst injected into Su Chen's body, instantly igniting a raging fire within him that desperately needed to be released.

"Mm-ph."

Feeling Su Chen's roughness, Xiao Ruoyu let out a soft moan, her beautiful eyes widening.

She finally understood what Su Chen meant by "ruthless"; tonight, Su Chen had suddenly become incomparably overbearing. Moreover, every time, he brought her an inexplicable thrill, making her heart pound wildly.

I do not know how much time passed, but Xiao Ruoyu felt as if her entire body had been drained of strength.

Yet Su Chen remained full of vigor, as if he had not tired at all. Is he even human? Xiao Ruoyu's gaze toward Su Chen grew even more blurred.

She had never met such a terrifying man.

"What are you thinking about?"

Looking at the expression of the beauty in his arms, Su Chen casually teased her. Xiao Ruoyu's pretty face flushed with two spots of crimson, and she shyly pouted, saying, "Your concubine... how could I be..."

Watching Xiao Ruoyu's shy appearance, a wicked smile rose to the corner of Su Chen's mouth as he suddenly asked, "You are worried about your father and the Xiao Family, aren't you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ruoyu's pretty face turned deathly pale. Recalling the scene where her father's legs were cruelly crushed by that beast Xiao Tiancheng, her face instantly turned pallid again, her eyes welled up, and tears began to swirl.

Watching her look like a pear blossom drenched in rain, Su Chen stroked her soft, long hair and comforted her: "Leave your father's matter to me; he is my father-in-law now, after all."

"Young Master, is that true?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu's eyes misted over as she lifted her head to look at Su Chen.

Su Chen gently pinched her charming, delicate nose and laughed, "Silly girl, of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Look, since I can show you everything happening in the Xiao Family, do you think I haven't made arrangements on my end? Besides, Xiao Tiancheng won't kill your father before he gets the Head of Family Order."

Although he said this, he secretly thought to himself: *Sorry, father-in-law, for the sake of the plan, you have to suffer a little. *

When he gets ruthless, he even pits his own father-in-law.

Because he did not intend to take people to the Xiao Family to rescue Xiao Hanshan right now.

For one, if he went to save him now, Xiao Hanshan would think that his intervention wasn't worth much of a favor and wouldn't be deeply grateful; it is better to let him suffer a bit first.

This is called "a peck of rice breeds gratitude, a bushel breeds enmity"—long-term, heavy favors inevitably turn into hatred—so his kindness must have a bit of an edge.

Secondly, he wanted to use the hands of Xiao Tiancheng and Su Yong to accelerate the Xiao Family's internal friction, thereby weakening the Xiao Family's overall strength.

This would make it easier to control the Xiao Family in the future.

"Your concubine thanks you, Young Master."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu's pretty face was filled with joy as she hugged Su Chen tightly.

Tonight, she had been worried and tormented over her father and family matters, unable to eat or sleep in peace.

But now, Su Chen had given her a promise, putting her completely at ease.

"Hehe."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and teased, "If you really want to thank me, why not offer something more practical?"

"Mm."

Xiao Ruoyu understood what he meant; her pretty face turned scarlet in a flash, and she gave a soft response.

Afterwards, she leaned her soft, pink lips to Su Chen's ear and whispered tenderly, "Husband..."

Hearing her highly seductive words, Su Chen swallowed hard a few times, unable to control himself any longer.

"Wife, Husband will teach you a new way to water the flowers." "Haha..."

The night was alluring, and joyful laughter drifted from the room, accompanied by the rhythm of "a moment of a spring night is worth a thousand gold." "Ah, Husband, you..."

Xiao Ruoyu was somewhat helpless; Su Chen had actually... again. ——————

The next day.

The Su Family Main Hall.

"Head of the Jiang Family, I wonder what important matter brings you to my Su Mansion today with your noble daughter?"

Qin Xinran, sitting in the main seat, glanced indifferently at Jiang Huai and Jiang Ruoyun on her left and asked straight to the point.

"Matriarch of the Su Family, to tell you the truth, my daughter has admired your noble son for a long time. We have come today specifically to pay a visit and discuss the matter of a marriage contract."

Jiang Huai stroked his chin, squinting his eyes with an inscrutable air.

After hearing his words, Qin Xinran was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, "Isn't your daughter already betrothed to Su Yong? Head of the Jiang Family, you aren't planning to marry one daughter into two families, are you?"

"Sigh, actually that was just a misunderstanding! My Ruoyun never liked Su Yong in the first place; it was just that I, this old man, didn't understand and set the marriage contract for the two children too early with Brother Su Jian."

Jiang Huai sighed with a look of deep regret and said, "However, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, my Ruoyun has no marriage contract on her. See if it is convenient now to settle the matter for the two children first."

"What! Head of the Jiang Family, how can you do this? What about Su Yong then?"

Seeing Jiang Huai unilaterally break the marriage contract, an Elder of the Su Family who was close to Su Yong immediately shouted in anger.

Hearing this, Jiang Huai wore an indifferent expression and said calmly, "Marriage has always been a matter of mutual consent. The person my Ruoyun likes is the Young Master of the Su Family. Do you expect me, as a father, to force my daughter to marry someone she doesn't like?"

Hearing this, that Su Family Elder was so angry his beard trembled, but he could find no words to refute.

Indeed, marriage concerns the happiness of one's children; if one does not respect the children's opinions and blindly forces it, that is truly unwise.

Seeing this scene, Su Yong's fists clenched until they creaked, and he stared at Jiang Huai with an ugly expression.

However, his power in the Su Family was too small right now; he had no qualifications to lash out in front of Jiang Huai.

"Chen'er, what do you say?"

Hearing this, Qin Xinran handed the decision-making power to Su Chen. After all, Su Chen had grown up, and he should be involved in major life events like marriage.

"Mother, no rush. I will go out and chat with the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family first."

Having said that, he walked up to Jiang Ruoyun, reached out a palm, took her delicate hand, and walked toward the outside of the room.

Seeing this, Jiang Huai's face twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Ruoyun lowered her head, letting Su Chen pull her by the hand as they walked out of the room.

Su Chen brought Jiang Ruoyun to an open space in the backyard, stopped his footsteps, and turned around.

"Su Chen, is something the matter?"

Noticing Su Chen's strange gaze, Jiang Ruoyun felt a vague sense of unease in her heart and asked tentatively.

Su Chen directly wrapped his arms around Jiang Ruoyun's willow waist, pulling her into his embrace, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth: "You admire this Young Master?"

He was certainly no good man.

Hehe, good women should be cherished, but bad women should not be let go; play with them first and see, especially since this woman originally belonged to Su Yong.

His wandering hands silently climbed up to that pair of towering jade rabbits.

Just at this moment, from a dark corner, a sharp glint burst forth, shooting toward the two of them.
