She would not allow Su Qi, that vixen, to ruin her happy and harmonious family.
"Excuse me, my taste hasn't reached that level yet. I don't fancy middle-aged men like that. Even if I did, it wouldn't be your father!"
Su Qi shook off Xu Linyun's hand. Xu Linyun stumbled and took half a step back.
Her strength was no match for Su Qi's, and she was at a disadvantage in height and aura.
She could only grit her teeth and stare at Su Qi resentfully.
"If you dare to make a move on my father, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Sister Mo Yu was right, Su Qi was truly a menace.
Xu Linyun regretted not listening to Mo Yu back then and now found Su Qi repulsive.
"Don't worry, my taste isn't that peculiar. Instead of threatening me, you should tell your father to keep his distance from me. After all, I haven't provoked him; he's the one who came looking for me, as you saw."
Su Qi turned and left the lounge.
Xu Qingfeng was walking back and happened to meet Su Qi in the corridor.
"Xiao Su..."
As soon as Xu Qingfeng called out.
Su Qi quickly greeted him and then, as if to avoid suspicion, sidestepped Xu Qingfeng and brushed past him.
Xu Qingfeng stood frozen in place. It wasn't until he saw Xu Linyun emerge from the lounge that he understood what was happening.
His expression instantly darkened.
As soon as Xu Linyun came out, she saw Xu Qingfeng. "Daddy..."
Seeing Xu Qingfeng's displeased expression, Xu Linyun was full of grievances.
"Daddy, aren't you afraid Mommy will get jealous? That Su Qi..."
"There's nothing between her and me, it's purely because... You should mind your own business from now on."
Xu Qingfeng reprimanded her softly and turned to leave.
Xu Linyun stood there, completely stunned.
After work that evening, Xu Linyun went to wait downstairs for Huo Tingyun. When she saw him leaving work, she walked straight up to him. "Tingyun, would you like to have dinner together?"
Huo Tingyun frowned but didn't refuse. He went with Xu Linyun to a newly opened Chinese restaurant nearby.
In the VIP private room, after the waiter left, Xu Linyun couldn't help but complain about what had happened that day.
"Su Qi is too much. She doesn't even spare my father. She's so shameless..."
Huo Tingyun's gaze deepened. "Mr. Xu?"
"Yes, my father never visits me on set. But today, he made a rare appearance and was very close to Su Qi. I saw my father's eyes practically glued to Su Qi."
Xu Linyun complained incessantly, completely oblivious to the change in the man's expression.
After a hasty meal, the man received a phone call and said he had something to attend to and left first.
It was an early finish that day, so Su Qi and Gu Tangxue went grocery shopping before driving back to their apartment complex.
As soon as the car was parked, Su Qi spotted the black Rolls-Royce.
In the setting sun, the little golden figure gleamed, already attracting a lot of attention.
It was evening, and there were many elderly people and children strolling in the complex, as well as young people returning from work, all casting sideways glances.
The Rolls-Royce was parked under the shade of a tree, like a fierce beast, standing proudly.
Gu Tangxue also noticed it; it was hard not to notice. She had seen it before, so she recognized it immediately.
Su Qi followed Gu Tangxue's gaze, glanced over, and then acted as if she hadn't seen it.
"Let's go upstairs."
Su Qi opened the car trunk, took out the shopping bags, and went upstairs with Gu Tangxue.
Gu Tangxue was not one to gossip and said nothing, following Su Qi back to the apartment.
Upon arriving home, Su Qi went into the kitchen to wash up and start dinner.
A moment later, she heard a knock on the door.
Thinking it was a delivery, Gu Tangxue got up to open the door.
The man outside was nearly six feet three inches tall, with broad shoulders and a sturdy build. Looking up, he had a cold and handsome face.
His thin lips were tightly pursed.
Just standing there without speaking, he exuded a powerful and noble aura.
Gu Tangxue's eyes widened. "Master Huo..."
Huo Tingyun glanced at Gu Tangxue, pushed the door open directly, and walked in without any preamble.
In the kitchen, Su Qi was standing at the sink, washing vegetables.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Su Qi said, "Help me get the apron, I forgot..."
The person behind her paused for a moment, then picked up the apron.
"What's wrong, Tangxue? Are you troubled?"
Su Qi felt that Gu Tangxue's movements were a bit slow.
The apron was put on herself.
It wasn't until the man's large hand landed on her that Su Qi realized something was wrong.
The water from the faucet splashed noisily into the sink.
Su Qi suddenly turned around.
Huo Tingyun braced his hands on the sink, completely trapping Su Qi in his embrace, then leaned down and cupped her chin.
Su Qi's eyes welled up with tears.
"Huo Tingyun! Are you crazy!"
How could he be here!
She looked towards the kitchen door. The sliding door had been closed at some point.
Before she could even shout for help, the man's assault descended like a violent storm.
He seemed to be retaliating for something, crushing down fiercely.
Su Qi gasped in pain and struggled with all her might, trying to push Huo Tingyun away.
But the disparity in strength between a man and a woman, especially one who trained regularly and held a ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo, was too great.
It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, futile and overconfident.
The man lifted her with both hands.
One hand touched her fiercely.
"Huo Tingyun! Let go of me!"
"Shh, your roommate will hear. She'll think we're doing something else in here..."
Su Qi was turned over, and the man mercilessly stripped away her last defense.
"Huo Tingyun, you... Shameless!"
She never dreamed that this man would be so audacious.
To brazenly trespass into her home...
This time, the man was even more ferocious than before.
Su Qi could barely withstand it.
She cried out.
"Su Qi, what a slut... It seems I haven't satisfied you enough, and you're going around seducing men? Hmm?"
Huo Tingyun's actions continued.
His voice, low and magnetic, was seductive yet forceful.
Filled with intense jealousy.
Su Qi was covered in sweat, the sound of water and the man's whispers filling her ears.
"I... I didn't!"
She could barely utter a complete sentence.
"You didn't? Lin Chuan is one thing, but you don't even spare middle-aged men. You have quite an appetite, don't you?
"Huo Tingyun!"
This man was simply unreasonable!
She didn't know what Xu Linyun had whispered into Huo Tingyun's ear.
It was simply absurd!
Even if she were desperate, she wouldn't have reached this point.
Besides, that was Lin Chuan's father!
After it was over, Su Qi didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Her chin was gripped.
Something was.
Forced into her mouth.
Su Qi's beautiful eyes widened. It was too sudden, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.
The man continued his actions.
She felt a strong urge to vomit.
But being blocked, she could only endure.
"Swallow it."
The man's voice was terrifyingly cold.
Su Qi made a swallowing motion. Her stomach churned, and her face was extremely grim.
"Huo Tingyun, I'm going to sue you..."
