Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

After dinner, since Su Chen had left, Lin Ruoxue had not gone upstairs but had stayed in the living room downstairs waiting.

Although she held a magazine in her hand, she actually hadn't read a single word.

Her mind, her heart was filled with the shadow of Su Chen; her nerves were continuously tense.

Lin Ruoxue had never felt this way before, to be so anxious and concerned about someone!

She had never thought that she would have such moments. Previously, all her thoughts had been on Belle Corporation; beyond that, she was indifferent to other matters.

But now, that bad guy had quietly walked into her heart, occasionally bringing to mind that somewhat cheeky, somewhat naughty face.

She didn't know why, but her heart felt restless tonight, listening to the "tick tock" of the clock on the wall, she felt her breathing was not smooth.

Just then, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock echoed, and Lin Ruoxue's heart tightened, she quickly ran over.

When she saw that familiar face, Lin Ruoxue's heart calmed down instantly.

She didn't rush to hug him or anything, but softly said,

"Back already?"

"Yeah, I'm back."

"Good, get some rest early."

After speaking, Lin Ruoxue went upstairs. Though she had not said much, Su Chen could clearly see the concern in her eyes.

Su Chen, watching Lin Ruoxue's departing figure, felt warmth in his heart. The feeling of someone waiting, someone caring, was truly wonderful!

Still, it was slightly cold. Couldn't she say something like "Welcome back, hubby!" or give a kiss to show her feelings?

Of course, this could only be considered Su Chen's fond wish for now. As for when he could receive such treatment, Su Chen could only chuckle to himself.

After Lin Ruoxue went upstairs, Su Chen returned to his room and began his cultivation.

Now that Tang Gang had discovered him, today's few people were merely a test. It was foreseeable that his troubles would likely increase moving forward.

For Tang Gang, Su Chen was undoubtedly his nightmare; Tang would definitely not rest until he had eliminated him.

At present, his power was still far from sufficient to completely eradicate the Skull Society.

Although Su Chen was confident he could accomplish this by using the Nether Temple and his hidden forces, he was not yet willing to risk the entire Nether Temple.

Those people were his brothers, not tools. Even if they could eliminate the Skull Society, the cost would be absolutely significant.

Moreover, Su Chen didn't yet want to expose the deeply hidden trump cards he held, because what he feared was not only Tang Gang and his Skull Society but also the power behind Tang Gang.

That was undoubtedly a terrifying presence!

This could be inferred from the ambush more than a year ago, where they had suddenly deployed five or six Qi Refinement Peak masters and more than a dozen above the Qi Refinement Eighth Layer.

These masters already numbered about the same as those in plain sight in the Nether Temple, and this could very well just be the tip of the iceberg of that power!

One could say that Su Chen now felt an unprecedented pressure, a pressure that made him even more focused and fervent during his cultivation!

Moreover, apart from Tang Gang and his power behind him, there was another matter weighing heavily on his heart — the truth behind his parents' deaths.

It involved several top families in Yandu; the waters were certainly not shallow, and might even be more complicated than Tang Gang's affairs!

And to resolve these matters, the most crucial point was strength!

Only when his strength was strong enough could he sweep away all those demons and monsters!

After these days of cultivation, Su Chen's Qi Refinement Sixth Layer Realm had stabilized, and next, he would climb to the Seventh Layer.

Cultivation was like climbing upward, the further one went, the harder and more dangerous it became, but Su Chen's heart was as steadfast as a rock, and he was fearless!

After a night of cultivation, Su Chen suddenly felt refreshed and spirited, and the pressure in his heart seemed to have lightened. Today, he really felt like going for a run.

Honestly, Su Chen nowadays really didn't need to run to exercise his body; it was of no use to him anymore.

He just loved the feeling of running, it made him feel closer to nature.

Acting on the thought, Su Chen changed his shoes and darted out in his shorts, running on the streets of Jianghai at around five or six in the morning, feeling fantastic.

A few environmental workers were cleaning, and although it was chilly in the early morning, perspiration was already evident on their foreheads.

Meanwhile, a nearby noodle shop had already opened. Steam billowed from the boiler at the entrance, and the old couple who owned it were continuously busy.

Since it was still early, only a few people were spotted sitting there, eating noodles.

Looking at this scene, Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that ordinary days should be just like this.

Compared to his past life, which was fraught with danger, this was truly living!

Moved, Su Chen stepped into the shop.

"Boss, a bowl of dumpling noodles, please."

"Alright, just a moment."

"Take your time, no rush."

Su Chen took a seat at an empty table. Next to him was a mother and daughter, the girl appearing around fourteen or fifteen years old, probably a middle or high school student.

They say students in Huaxia are under a lot of stress, and Su Chen truly saw it now, considering it was so early and she was already preparing for school.

"Boss, a bowl of dumpling noodles, please."

"Alright, please have a seat inside."

Just then another customer entered, calling out, to which the boss responded warmly.

Su Chen listened to the voice that seemed familiar and couldn't help but turn to look.

He saw a young woman entering, wearing a black sports crop top and black leggings, her figure absolutely stunning!

Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and tiny beads of sweat could be seen on her cheeks and her slender neck.

She exuded a youthful, fashionable, and sexy allure, extremely charismatic!

As she entered, almost everyone's gaze was drawn to her, though she seemed accustomed to it, glancing around briefly until her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Why are you here?"

She then sat down opposite Su Chen, her face full of surprise.

"I'm here for breakfast, of course!"

Su Chen hadn't expected to encounter this policewoman here, and it seemed like the first time he saw her, she was dressed the same.

It was clear she was very dedicated to exercising and maintaining her figure.

"Here you go, your dumpling noodles are ready."

Shortly after, the shop owner's wife placed two bowls of dumpling noodles on the table.

"Didn't expect our tastes to be quite similar," Su Chen laughed.

"I've loved them since I was a kid,"

Xu Xinran also started using her chopsticks.

"You really do have a nice figure!"

Su Chen said casually as he glanced at her.

When Su Chen said this, he genuinely didn't mean anything else; it was purely a compliment.

But Xu Xinran's face flushed suddenly, looking utterly charming...
