"My mom wants to invite you over for dinner." 0
"You don't have to go; I can cancel." Lin Yue reached out to gently stroke her cheek. 0
Su Yao sat up, the down comforter loosely draped over her body. "You don't want me to go?" 0
"It's not that I don't want you to; it's just..." 0
"We'll have to face this sooner or later, right?" 0
"Rather than avoiding it, we should confront it." 0
Lin Yue took her hand, their fingers interlocking. "Are you sure? My family might be a bit different from a typical one..." 0
"I know." Su Yao cupped Lin Yue's face and softly kissed her. "But I also know that if we can't face this hurdle, there will be even more challenges ahead. I don't want to hide." 0
"Let's face it together, okay?" 0
In the hospital's waiting room, Shangguan Yun hung up the phone and looked seriously at Jiang Rou and Lu Chen. 0
Lu Chen and Jiang Rou sat on the sofa across from her, like students awaiting their fate. 0
"From now on, no one is allowed to contact Lin Yue before the dinner." 0
"No answering calls, no replying on WeChat, understood?" 0
"Auntie, this..." Jiang Rou hesitated. 0
Shangguan Yun interrupted her, "No contact; you've already done enough." 0
Jiang Rou and Lu Chen nodded in unison. 0
"Rou Rou, come home with me to prepare for the family dinner." Shangguan Yun stood up. 0
"Lu Chen, you should come over early too, so you don't tip off Lin Yue." 0
Lu Chen nodded lightly, not daring to disobey. 0
On the way back to Lin's house, the atmosphere in the car was tense. 0
"About Su Yao," Shangguan Yun suddenly spoke up, "how did she come to America? Weren't many flights canceled recently due to the weather?" 0
Jiang Rou bit her lip, pondering how to respond to achieve her goal. 0
"She came on a friend's private jet," she said cautiously. 0
"A friend?" Shangguan Yun raised an eyebrow. 0
"That person is Zhang Group's second son, Zhang Zihao." 0
"He takes good care of Su Yao." 0
Shangguan Yun frowned slightly. "Zhang Group? That sounds somewhat familiar." 0
 
 
Zhang Zihao has been quite successful in the tech field in recent years. Jiang Rou added some embellishments, saying that this time she specifically sent Su Yao over. 0
 
Shangguan Yun hummed thoughtfully, "It seems this Su Yao is not simple." 0
 
Turning to Jiang Rou, she asked, "Are they just friends, as simple as that?" 0
 
Jiang Rou remained silent, lowering her head and gently rubbing the plain ring on her finger, a gesture that only fueled more speculation. 0
 
"Does Lin Yue know about their relationship?" Shangguan Yun pressed on. 0
 
"Lin Yue might not know," Jiang Rou replied softly, almost inaudibly. 0
 
A cold smile crept onto Shangguan Yun's lips. "Then let's invite him over tonight." 0
 
In the hotel suite. 0
 
"Lin Yue, what should I wear to your house?" she asked anxiously. "I came in such a hurry that I didn't bring any formal clothes." 0
 
"And what are the customs for a family dinner? What can I say, and what shouldn't I say? What gifts should I prepare for your uncle and aunt?" 0
 
Lin Yue looked at her nervous and serious demeanor, his gaze softening. 0
 
"Silly..." she murmured softly, pulling Su Yao into her embrace. "None of that matters." 0
 
"I'm serious, Lin Yue!" 0
 
"Don't worry; I'll handle everything." Lin Yue gently kissed her lips. 0
 
Su Yao relaxed in her arms, instinctively wrapping her arms around Lin Yue's neck. 0
 
Their kiss deepened gradually as Lin Yue tenderly pushed Su Yao onto the bed. 0
 
Every inch of skin touched by his fingertips felt like it was on fire, their lips meeting like melting honey. 0
 
Lin Yue's kisses traveled from the corners of her mouth to her neck, then to her collarbone, finally landing on the rosy peak. 0
 
Su Yao shivered lightly, her fingers tangling in Lin Yue's hair as she could no longer suppress the soft moans escaping her throat. 0
 
Warm lips and tongues roamed over skin, leaving behind a trail of burning marks. 0
 
In that moment of physical connection, it felt as if their souls were intertwined, rising and falling with waves of pleasure. 0
 
After a while, Su Yao lay breathlessly on the bed, her hair scattered messily across the pillow. 0
 
"Weren't you sick?" she asked breathlessly as she looked at Lin Yue. "How can you have such stamina?" 0
 
Lin Yue proudly held her close, his fingers lightly tracing along her collarbone. 0
 
"Maybe it's because I'm beside you that I feel especially energetic," he whispered in her ear. "I could go again..." 0
 
Su Yao's cheeks flushed instantly as she hurriedly pushed her away. "Stop it! If we go again, I won't have the strength to get up." 0
 
"Let alone take a shower..." She shot Lin Yue a playful glare. 0
 
Lin Yue got up, completely unconcerned about his naked body, his skin glowing like fine jade under the light. 0
 
 
She stretched out her arms and picked up Princess Su Yao, her tone both indulgent and playful. "Too tired to get up and take a shower? Then I'll carry you." 0
 
"Lin Yue! Put me down!" Su Yao exclaimed, her bare skin exposed as she buried her face in Lin Yue's neck, her hands instinctively wrapping around Lin Yue's shoulders. 0
 
Lin Yue carried her toward the bathroom, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to wash you thoroughly." 0
 
In the bright bathroom, steam filled the air, blurring the mirrors and glass. Warm water cascaded from the showerhead, washing over their entwined bodies. Lin Yue pressed Su Yao against the cool tiles, her lips trailing along Su Yao's sensitive neck. 0
 
One hand braced against the wall while the other ventured to explore hidden places, eliciting quickened breaths from Su Yao. She tilted her head back, droplets of water sliding down her graceful neck, mingling with her own essence. 0
 
Uncontrollable moans escaped her lips, blending with the sound of water like distant melodies, her legs trembling under the weight of passion. They lost themselves in this secret and fervent affair, oblivious to the passage of time. 0
 
Eventually, Su Yao reached her peak in Lin Yue's embrace, collapsing against her as if she were a flower battered by rain. 0
 
After leaving the bathroom, Lin Yue held the exhausted Su Yao as they lay on the bed, gently kissing her hair. Suddenly remembering something, she picked up her phone and quickly typed a message to the Lobby Manager, arranging clothes and gifts for a family dinner. 0
 
Within half an hour, the doorbell rang. The hotel Lobby Manager stood respectfully at the door with three attendants, holding dozens of branded shopping bags of various sizes. 0
 
Loro Piana, Dior, Chanel... The logos of various top brands shimmered under the corridor lights. The attendants placed the bags neatly in the living room before the Lobby Manager bowed respectfully and exited. 0
 
Lin Yue sat on the sofa, watching Su Yao stare in astonishment. "Try them on; pick whatever you like—they're all your size." 0
 
"How do you know my size?" Su Yao asked curiously while rummaging through clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry in the shopping bags. 0
 
Lin Yue pulled her into an embrace, sitting her on her lap with a smug smile. "Because I measured you several times myself." 0
 
A blush crept onto Su Yao's cheeks as she playfully tapped Lin Yue's shoulder. "You naughty girl!" 0
 
She cupped Lin Yue's face in her hands. "How did I not realize at first that you're such a little pervert?" 0
 
Before Lin Yue could respond, she leaned in and kissed those lips. As they kissed passionately, Lin Yue's hands deftly untied Su Yao's bathrobe. 0
 
"Mm!" Su Yao gasped as she pulled away slightly. "If we keep this up, I'm really going to be incapacitated." 0
 
Lin Yue let out a reluctant sigh. "Oh~" 0
 
"Be good," Su Yao said with a gentle kiss on her nose. "We'll continue after dinner tonight." 0
 
Hearing this, Lin Yue reluctantly released her hold. 0
 
 
"Do you want to go back and tidy up?" Su Yao asked. "Then come pick me up later?" 0
 
Lin Yue nodded, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Okay, but I really don't want to leave." 0
 
Su Yao accompanied her to the door, standing by the half-open entrance. Lin Yue couldn't help but embrace Su Yao once more, kissing her lips. 0
 
They kissed at the doorway, completely unaware that at the other end of the corridor, Zhang Zihao had just finished swimming and was witnessing this scene. He wore a hotel bathrobe and held swimming gear in his hands. After squinting for a moment, he turned back to his room. 0
 
As soon as Zhang Zihao set his things down, his phone rang, displaying the caller ID: Jiang Rou. 0
 
He sneered and answered the call. "Miss Jiang, what can I do for you?" 0
 
Jiang Rou's voice was sweet yet insincere. "Zhang Zihao, the Lin family is having a family dinner tonight and cordially invites you to attend." 0
 
"Oh?" Zhang Zihao mocked. "What right do I have to sit at the Lin family's table?" 0
 
"Aren't you good friends with Su Yao?" Jiang Rou replied playfully. "She'll be there tonight too." 0
 
Recalling what he had just seen, Zhang Zihao suddenly smiled. "Alright, I'll be there on time. It's just as well; I want to see what kind of family the Lin family is." 0
 
Hanging up the phone, he walked to the window and gazed at the sea view, a cold smile playing on his lips because he knew that the Lin family was starting to take action. This was precisely his opportunity to protect Su Yao openly and also the best chance for her to see through the Lin family and Lin Yue. 0
 
"Su Yao," he murmured softly to himself, "this time, I will make sure you see who can truly protect you." 0
 
As soon as Lin Yue stepped out of the hotel door, the scorching sunlight hit her face, forcing her to squint. Nervously tapping her fingers against her thigh, she took out her phone and dialed Lu Chen's number. 0
 
A cold prompt came from the other end: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off..." 0
 
"That's strange; Brother Chen never turns off his phone," she muttered, frowning slightly as her fingertips instinctively began tapping on the edge of her phone again. 0
 
After a few seconds of hesitation, she dialed Jiang Rou's number instead. 0
 
Jiang Rou looked down at the screen displaying Lin Yue's name, a cold smile curling at her lips. The phone vibrated on the table as she coldly watched it until the screen went dark. 0
 
Lin Yue felt an ominous premonition in her heart. "Why isn't anyone answering their phone?" 0
