Even Nakajima Ayane, who harbored a slight hostility towards Lin Chuan and believed he might have ulterior motives, was not immune.
At this moment, she had to admit that he was indeed the most outstanding man she had ever met in her life.
Chapter 335 Lin Chuan: Sakura, you didn't want to be a spy either...
A moment later, Minase Shizuru came to Lin Chuan and gently said to Hojo Hime and Nakajima Ayane beside her, "Lin Chuan-kun, let me introduce you. This is Hime, and this is Ayane-nee."
"Hime, Ayane-nee, this is Hayashikawa-kun, he's my boyfriend~"
The closer it got to the end, the lower the girl's voice became.
When she uttered the word "boyfriend," her voice became barely audible, and her originally translucent earlobes turned a deep crimson.
After a brief introduction, Lin Chuan invited the three women to dinner.
Wanting to take the opportunity to observe him, Nakajima Ayane agreed after a brief moment of thought.
As for Hojo Hime, she also wanted to spend more time with Hayashi.
She didn't have any intention of stealing her sister's boyfriend; it was purely human nature's yearning for beautiful things.
As the moon rose above the willow branches, after escorting the two girls home, Minase Shizuru looked at Lin Chuan with a smile in her eyes: "Lin Chuan-kun, you're so amazing~"
Thinking of the envious look in Hojo Hime's eyes at the banquet earlier, she felt as refreshed as if she had drunk a cold drink on a sweltering summer day.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as Lin Chuan gently smoothed the stray hairs by her ear, his voice deep and magnetic: "Oh~, then I wonder what reward Jingliu-chan has in store?"
As he spoke, a warm breath was exhaled onto the beautiful woman's jade-like face, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.
Meeting that slightly amused gaze, Minase Shizuru felt incredibly shy. She involuntarily buried her head in her chest and whispered, "W-what reward do you want?"
Lin Chuan didn't answer, but simply moved his right cheek closer.
Seeing this, the girl breathed a slight sigh of relief and gave a light peck, like a dragonfly skimming the water: "Okay, okay?"
"Shizuru-chan, this is just interest~"
"???"
The next moment, meeting Minase Shizuru's astonished gaze, Lin Chuan lowered his head and captured those lips, as fiery as roses and as pink as peach blossoms...
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Gazing at the beautiful woman, as lovely as a peach blossom in spring, bathed in soft light, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Jing Liu-chan, I'm very satisfied with your reward~"
Upon hearing this, Minase Shizuru couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly in a charming way, letting out a soft, coquettish hum from her nose: "Hmph~, you bad boy~"
A dozen minutes later, after dropping the girl off at home and collecting a small fare, Lin Chuan drove away.
Once they reached a secluded spot, they stored the car in their personal storage space and disappeared completely.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived at Zhenchang Temple.
I've been quite busy these past few days and have neglected that beautiful lady in her secluded chambers. I'll make up for it this time.
Lin Chuan casually cast a silencing spell to envelop the bedroom before slowly approaching the bedside.
Looking at the Kujo Shiori lying quietly on the bed, as pure and elegant as an autumn chrysanthemum, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
The next moment, he gently raised his right hand and shook it a few times: "Madam~, Madam~"
Since she was already a light sleeper, being disturbed like this caused Kujo Shiori's long eyelashes to flutter as she slowly opened her bright, clear eyes.
As soon as her vision returned, she saw Lin Chuan's handsome face in the bright moonlight.
Instantly, a gentle smile appeared on Kujo Shiori's lips: "You're here~"
"Yes! I'm here~"
With a faint smile and a nod, Lin Chuan moved his right hand up and gently caressed her smooth, porcelain-like cheek...
The next day, Shiori Kujo, who had slept until she naturally woke up, stretched out her arms and legs, her brows furrowed with a lazy expression.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a serious-looking middle-aged monk in a photograph on her bedside table.
She gently bit her thin lip with her pearly white teeth, and after a long while, she whispered, "Husband, I'm sorry~"
Kujo Shiori wasn't stupid; at first, she genuinely thought she was dreaming.
But after several times, how could she not have noticed?
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that I saw it while bathing... tells me that everything that happened before was real.
Although she didn't understand why the other person had suddenly appeared in her room, the events that had happened during that time had revitalized her heart, which had been withering due to a lack of care.
She just pretended not to know anything because she didn't dare to point it out.
Meanwhile, at the modeling agency, Sakura Saotome, who had been sent away by Lin Chuan, tiptoed back to her office.
Hearing the whispers coming from the lounge, her heart couldn't help but pound.
Her long, slender, snow-white neck trembled as she bent over and tiptoed toward the lounge.
Seeing that Lin Chuan hadn't closed the door properly again, she raised an eyebrow slightly and then slowly brought her right eye closer.
This time, however, she didn't see the explicit scene. Instead, she was confronted by a handsome face with a hint of amusement.
Startled, Sakura Saotome, whose heart was already in her throat, let out a soft gasp: "Ah~"
Then, he was so frightened that he took several steps back and fell on his backside.
Just then, the door opened, and Lin Chuan looked at Ichinose Riko beside him with a teasing tone: "Riko, you lost this time~"
Riko Ichinose gave Sakura Saotome a disappointed look and nodded sullenly.
"Boss, Sister Riko, I...I..."
Caught red-handed spying, Sakura Saotome wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.
"Sakura, you... sigh~"
"I don't care anymore, you deal with this bad boss yourself!"
With a frustrated expression, Riko Ichinose then gracefully walked away, her long, shapely legs tightly encased in black stockings.
Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, whose face was full of fear and whose eyes were gradually turning red, Lin Chuan said in a deep voice, "Come in and talk."
Having said that, without giving him a chance to refuse, he strode into the lounge.
Soon after, in the break room, Sakura Saotome, barely managing to emerge from her terrified state, bowed her head slightly and murmured in a voice barely audible, "B-Boss, I'm sorry~"
Slowly rising from the bedside, Lin Chuan reached out and lifted that delicate chin, his voice tinged with amusement: "If saying sorry was enough, what would be the point of having police?"
"Since you ruined my plans, you'd better make amends yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan suddenly lowered his head and captured those soft lips with his own.
Suddenly attacked, Sakura Saotome's mind went blank.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly struggled to sit up: "B-Boss, no, this won't do!"
Lin Chuan tightened his grip on her chin slightly, his voice tinged with anger: "Xiao Ying, you don't want your mother to find out you were spying, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Saotori Sakura suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan smiled faintly and bent down again...
Chapter 336 Anna's Hostility
After a long while, the whispers in the lounge gradually ceased.
Looking at the little girl in his arms, her body slightly curled up and tears welling in her eyes, Lin Chuan smiled faintly.
The next moment, he gently pinched her delicate chin with his right hand, his voice playful: "Now you won't have to sneak a peek anymore, and then..."
Originally feeling fearful and saddened by how things had turned out, Sakura Saotome's cheeks involuntarily flushed slightly upon hearing those embarrassing words.
Then, she gently turned her head to the side, her voice slightly hoarse: "I...I don't want to."
"That's not up to you! Sakura, you don't want your mother to know what just happened and worry, do you?"
Seeing that the other party was threatening her with her mother again, Saotome Sakura puffed out her cheeks slightly and looked at Lin Chuan with annoyance.
Unfortunately, that expression, combined with his slightly chubby cheeks, posed absolutely no threat.
Not only is it not a threat, but it also gives people a different kind of meaning.
With a slight twitch of his eyebrows, Lin Chuan lowered his head and captured those shimmering, pink lips with his own.
After a while, having drunk the healing potion and finished tidying up, Saotome Sakura walked out of the rest room. Meeting Ichinose Riko's complicated gaze, she couldn't help but lower her head deeply and murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Riko-neechan, I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Riko Ichinose let out a soft, long sigh.
Then, she slowly walked up to him, reaching out her soft, white hand to gently stroke his cute little head a few times: "In the end, you didn't escape. Serve the boss well from now on~"
Upon hearing this, Sakura Saotome opened her mouth as if to say something: "I..."
But suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Lin Chuan's ambiguous smile out of the corner of her eye.
Instantly, her delicate body trembled slightly, but she ultimately did not utter the words in her heart.
At that moment, Lin Chuan slowly walked to Ichinose Riko's side, gently extending his arm to embrace her slender yet voluptuous waist, pulling her into his arms with a slight pull: "Riko, it's time to fulfill our bet~"
Upon hearing this, the complex expression on Riko Ichinose's face was immediately replaced by deep embarrassment.
The thought of her bet with Lin Chuan made her want to disappear into the ground.
When I first saw that Saotome Sakura was cute and innocent, unlike the kind of person the other party described, I accepted the reward that was offered to me without hesitation.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so disappointing.
Unfortunately, the gamble was already made, and there was no going back.
Finally, after giving Sakura Saotome, who was pretending to be an ostrich with her head down, a resentful look, she gently nodded her little head and agreed...
A moment later, hearing the sounds coming from the lounge, Sakura Saotome gripped her skirt tightly with both hands, a hint of fear in her eyes.
At the same time, a strange sense of gratitude welled up in my heart. It turned out that the bad boss had already shown leniency towards me.
