Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Fiery Fire Empress had just left the West County Villa not long ago when she was enveloped by a huge shadow.

"Fiery Fire Empress, have you found the whereabouts of the red stone?" A deep voice sounded, as if coming from all directions.

"Reporting to my lord, not yet."

"Hmm?" The deep voice carried a hint of anger.

"I, I will definitely find it as soon as possible! Please grant me more time." Fiery Fire Empress knelt on the ground, her body trembling.

Suddenly, dozens of black threads extended from all directions and then pierced through the body of Fiery Fire Empress.

Fiery Fire Empress's face immediately contorted in immense pain, yet she dared not make a sound.

Moments later, the black threads disappeared.

"This time it's just a small punishment, next time, it won't be so easy."

The shadow vanished, and Fiery Fire Empress collapsed weakly on the ground.

A stubborn look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Fiery Fire Empress struggled to get up, trembling with every step she took.

"Su Chen, this time, consider it as repaying what I owe you..."

Su Chen was speechless.

He had just covered Lin Xi's exposed shoulder, and now Lin Xi had stretched her leg out from under the blanket.

Inside Su Chen's mind, it felt like a devil was constantly tempting him.

She is your wife, anything you do to her is legal.

No, no, you can't go against your principles.

Principles, what are principles? Weren't you the one who wanted to tie down this overbearing CEO to the bed?

Even if you do nothing, it's always good to feast your eyes.

Anyway, she kicked the blanket off herself.

Ultimately, Su Chen resisted the temptation.

He pressed a few acupoints on Lin Xi, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Seeing Lin Xi's return to normal, Su Chen finally relaxed.

Thankfully Fiery Fire Empress only used her perfume; if it were something else, he might not have been able to hold back.

Although Lin Xi was asleep, her brows were still furrowed.

Many people are afraid of the dark, but for Lin Xi to fear to this extent, it's clearly abnormal.

It's quite possible that she had experienced some extremely terrifying event in the past, leaving a shadow behind.

Su Chen didn't leave; he stayed by Lin Xi's side.

Until the early morning sunlight shone in, then he quietly left the bedroom.

He had planned to make breakfast, but Qiu Jinghan was already doing it.

Today, Qiu Jinghan wore another black mini-skirt and wrap-around dress, looking even more charming.

"This Auntie Qiu, is becoming more and more charming. I wonder which lucky guy will be able to pursue her." After washing up, Su Chen sat at the dining table waiting for breakfast, watching Qiu Jinghan busying herself in the kitchen.

Breakfast was served, and just then Lin Xi came downstairs.

Still in her pajamas, she stretched lazily as she approached the dining table, her curves proud, long hair draped over her shoulders, stunningly beautiful.

"Miss, I heard that there was a power outage in the villa last night, are you alright?" Qiu Jinghan asked while setting up bowls and chopsticks.

"Yes, I'm fine," Lin Xi replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Qiu Jinghan also showed a smile.

Of course, she knew about Lin Xi's fear of the dark.

If it had been before, knowing there would be a power outage, she would have stayed no matter how important other things were to guard Lin Xi as she slept.

She deliberately didn't come back to give Su Chen and Lin Xi a chance.

In the pitch dark, alone with a man, dry tinder with blazing fire…

As long as Su Chen is a normal man, he wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

And Lin Xi's response had Qiu Jinghan convinced that her approach was correct.

The atmosphere at breakfast finally wasn't as tense as before.

After all, Qiu Jinghan knew what she was talking about.

You see, women tend to be all aloof and haughty before they're wooed, but once they are, they turn all sweet and clingy.

This was evident when Lin Xi specifically asked Su Chen where he worked and if she should give him a ride.

Of course, Su Chen declined her kind offer.

Come on, even though his relationship with Lin Xi had slightly improved, what if she found out about his workplace being full of beauties and got jealous?

Although the chance of Lin Xi actually getting jealous for him was virtually nil.

Only after Lin Xi had gone far did Su Chen hum a tune and leave the villa.

It was around 9:30 in the morning when Su Chen leisurely arrived at his company.

He couldn't help it; he left the house at the usual time but, without his little motor scooter from "Delicate Flower" to hitch a ride on, he had to take the bus today, thus he was late.

"Hey, Sister Yue isn't at work yet either." Su Chen noticed Wang Yue's empty seat.

But he didn't think much of it and started playing games on his computer.

Yang Xuewei leaned back and whispered, "Su Chen, it's this late and you're still daring to play games. Aren't you going to do any work for Hongda?"

Su Chen grinned, "Isn't Sister Yue taking care of it?"

Yang Xuewei was dumbfounded. This guy was really laid back.

"What a pity! Sister Yue was such a nice girl, but she's been totally ruined by this guy."

"Yeah, before, Sister Yue would never be late... but now, not only is she late, but she also skipped work yesterday..."

The sales department girls quietly shook their heads.

At that moment, Zheng Aojiao walked over with a deadpan expression.

"Su Chen, do you realize you were late today!" Zheng Aojiao frowned.

"Oh, right after I entered the company, I was called in for a talk by Director Qin," Su Chen casually brought up Qin Keren to skate past Zheng Aojiao's nagging.

"Oh, Director Qin, you were just talking with Su Chen?" Zheng Aojiao asked with a smile.

Su Chen immediately felt a sense of foreboding. Turning around, he saw Qin Keren standing coldly at the door.

Oh boy...

What a coincidence.

I was just trying to make Zheng Aojiao shut up by using Qin Keren. Content sourced from MV4LEMPYR – My Virtual Library Empire.

But unexpectedly, Qin Keren showed up right then.

Qin Keren watched Su Chen's speechless face, and she felt speechless herself.

This guy, always so daring.

Using her name like a shield.

Zheng Aojiao's lips slightly curled up.

This wasn't the first time Su Chen had tried to borrow Qin Keren's "strength" to intimidate others. Initially, Zheng Aojiao thought Su Chen and Qin Keren had some kind of special relationship, but after some investigation, she realized this guy had nothing to do with Qin Keren at all.

Because of that, she even subtly sounded things out in front of Qin Keren.

Finally confirming that there was indeed no relationship between Su Chen and Qin Keren.

Previously, she couldn't ask Qin Keren directly, but now, Qin Keren had conveniently caught him red-handed.

Who is Qin Keren?

She's next only to that iceberg in presence.

Extremely strict when it comes to work.

Su Chen was not only late but also using her as an excuse.

Now let's see how you get out of this one.
