Perhaps it was because work was exhausting, or because she was truly too hungry, Lin Ruoxue ate a lot that evening, stopping only after completely clearing several of her favorite dishes.

"Honey, did I eat too much? Look, my stomach is a bit round," she said, unbuttoning her suit and anxiously touching her stomach through her shirt.

Beautiful women are like this: they love to eat, but afterward, they worry about getting fat. Although Lin Ruoxue didn't have any flaws in her figure, she couldn't help but worry a little.

"Really?" Su Chen said, reaching out to place his hand on her stomach. Although it was slightly more protruded than usual from just having eaten, he could still tell there wasn't a trace of excess fat.

"Honey, when I get old and not pretty, will you not want me anymore and like those young girls?" Lin Ruoxue glanced at Su Chen, knowing full well this bad guy was taking advantage of the situation. However, as long as it wasn't too over the top, she generally let him be; after all, she had ended up with such a husband.

"How could that be? Do you think your husband is that kind of person? Besides, wife, you're surely going to become even more charming. I'm more afraid that one day you might find me unappealing and kick me to the curb." Su Chen, now adept at sweet-talking, could do it as soon as he opened his mouth; sometimes even he admired his own skill.

"I never would, as long as you don't do something to betray me. I won't leave you!" Lin Ruoxue shyly muttered, seeming to say it to Su Chen but sounding more like she was reassuring herself.

"Don't worry, we will definitely grow old together. I even want to show you all the splendors of this world!" Su Chen said, looking deeply into Lin Ruoxue's eyes.

Listening to these sweet nothings, Lin Ruoxue felt incredibly moved, like the luckiest woman in the world.

Just then, she suddenly felt Su Chen's wandering hands gradually climbing upwards!

"Slap!"

Lin Ruoxue fiercely slapped Su Chen's mischievous hand away, snorting coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself!" Su Chen retracted his hand, still bearing a red mark, rubbed the back of his head, and gave a sheepish smile, showing no real embarrassment. It was just a pity in his heart...

"Wife, weren't you very tired just now?" Su Chen changed the subject. "Why don't you sit on the sofa, and I'll give you a massage?"

Lin Ruoxue had wanted to refuse, knowing Su Chen wouldn't behave. But thinking it over, since it wasn't the first time, and she really did have some backache, she nodded.

Lin Ruoxue walked to the sofa, sat down, and leaned back against it. Su Chen thoughtfully grabbed a cushion for her to lean on, then moved behind her and gently began to knead her shoulders.

Lin Ruoxue slightly closed her eyes, enjoying Su Chen's expert massaging skills, which were even better than professional masseurs. She had really been too tired recently, and it didn't take long before she fell asleep on the sofa, her black hair draping down.

Seeing her asleep, Su Chen stopped massaging and gently picked her up and walked upstairs.

Upon entering Lin Ruoxue's bedroom, Su Chen carefully laid her on the bed and pulled up the duvet to cover her. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely careful, ensuring that she wouldn't perceive any disturbance.

After he finished, Su Chen didn't leave immediately but instead bent down and crouched in front of the bed, quietly observing her.

The bright moonlight streamed through the window, casting its light on Lin Ruoxue's face, which was filled with a sanctified radiance at that moment! He had to admit, his wife was truly a gift from heaven, a rare beauty. Even in her sleep, she was so beautiful that it stirred the heart!

What was even more valuable was that his wife wasn't just a trophy; her capabilities were undeniable; otherwise, she couldn't have made the Belle Corporation so successful. Moreover, she possessed many qualities that many women lacked—independence, strength, and kindness!

At this moment, as Su Chen watched Lin Ruoxue deep in sleep, he couldn't help but think, "Having such a wife, what more could one ask for!"

"Husband!"

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxue turned in her sleep and murmured.

Su Chen jumped in surprise and somewhat frantically lowered his head as if he were a thief afraid of getting caught. However, after turning over, Lin Ruoxue fell back asleep, and the sound of her lengthy breathing filled the room once more.

It turned out that she was just talking in her sleep.

Su Chen patted his heart and then lifted his head again. I'm watching my own wife; what am I afraid of, acting like a thief?

Su Chen scorned his own uselessness and then pulled the quilt, which had been kicked askew when Lin Ruoxue turned, back over her long legs.

He watched Lin Ruoxue's stunning face for a while longer before standing up and slowly bending down to gently kiss her smooth, pale forehead. Lin Ruoxue continued to sleep soundly, with no reaction at all.

After kissing Lin Ruoxue, Su Chen tiptoed out, gently closing the door behind him with a satisfied smile on his face.

After descending the stairs, Su Chen walked out of the villa and drove to the manor. Unless necessary, he didn't waste any time that could be spent on cultivation.

Upon arriving at the manor, Su Chen went directly into the usual room where he cultivated and began to focus on his practice.

But he hadn't been cultivating for long when the nearby phone rang. It was Xu Xinran calling.

"Officer Xu, why are you looking for me so late at night? Could it be the long night has left you feeling too lonely?"

Su Chen always unconsciously showed his mischievous side, as he did just now.

"Where are you now? Are you in that manor?" On the other end of the phone, Xu Xinran didn't take offense at his flippant remark but directly asked about his current location, remembering that he had previously mentioned he often came here to rest at night.

"Yes." Su Chen expressed his bewilderment.

As Su Chen was about to ask her why she wanted to know his location, Xu Xinran had already hung up the phone. He couldn't help but wonder, could this girl really be so lonely that she wanted to come over to see him? Thinking about it, he found it unlikely; although they hadn't known each other for long, he knew she was not that kind of woman.

Su Chen curled his lip and placed his phone aside, then once again immersed himself in his cultivation.
