Soft, very soft, like cotton candy. Moist, very moist, like jelly.

Su Qingning's body stiffened, her eyes widening like green apricots. The moment their lips touched, she felt a jolt of electricity course through her. Her entire being tingled and buzzed, and she felt as light as air.

Her mind went completely blank, devoid of any thought.

Lin Xiao was even more affected. His mind had already turned into a blank slate, the intense stimulation making his body tremble.

So this is how amazing kissing feels.

He was already growing fond of this wonderful sensation. An air of intimacy instantly enveloped the entire car compartment.

Just as they were kissing, Su Qingning, not knowing where she found the strength, suddenly shoved Lin Xiao away. Her stunningly beautiful face was already impossibly red, and her peach-blossom eyes shimmered with a watery charm. The instant their gazes met, she saw a mischievous glint in his.

She snapped to her senses and bellowed, "You pervert! Who said you could kiss me!"

Despite her words, the deep blush of embarrassment on her face was impossible to hide.

Lin Xiao simply smiled, saying nothing. Annoyed, Su Qingning's small fists rained down on his chest, but he didn't stop her, letting her vent as she pleased. After landing a dozen or so punches, she ran out of steam. She looked at Lin Xiao with a mixture of shame and anger.

"You pervert, let go of me!"

Instead of letting go, he tightened his arm around her slender waist.

"Alright, honey, don't be angry. If you want to keep managing the bar, go ahead. The Su Corporation will end up in your hands eventually anyway," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Hmph, easy for you to say. Su Qingkun has already earned two hundred million, while I've barely made fifty million. How am I supposed to compete with him!"

"There's still half a year before the competition ends, isn't there? What if Su Qingkun's company goes bankrupt? What if your uncle's family is ruined?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Su Qingfeng has caught the eye of a prominent family, with Xiao Shixiong himself acting as the matchmaker. How could the Su Family possibly go bankrupt? They're only going to become more successful!" Su Qingning said, frustrated.

It wasn't that she was jealous of Su Qingfeng catching the eye of a prestigious family. She was just upset that her chances of getting the Su Corporation back were now slimmer than ever.

"Maybe they aren't such a prestigious family after all. What if the man Su Qingfeng is marrying is just some beggar?" Lin Xiao said with a sly smile.

Su Qingning snorted. "You jerk, I know you're trying to comfort me, but use your brain. Would Xiao Shixiong personally act as a matchmaker for a beggar?"

"Then we'll just have to wait and see. The truth will come out soon enough," Lin Xiao chuckled.

Su Qingning didn't want to argue with him anymore. "Hmph, say whatever you want. Now, let go of me! I don't want to be this close to you, and I certainly don't want to be sitting on the lap of a pervert like you!"

"But I do. Besides, I've discovered that holding you feels amazing. Honey, just a little longer, please?"

"No!"

"Please?" Lin Xiao begged, looking pitiful.

Su Qingning's heart trembled. For some reason, she found she couldn't bear to refuse him.

This is wrong, completely wrong. What's happening to me? Shouldn't I hate being held by him? Shouldn't I be shoving this pervert away and punching him a couple of times? So why does being in his arms feel so safe and sweet?

The thought startled her, throwing her into a panic.

"You... you pervert, let me go! I-I'm getting hot being held by you!" Su Qingning stammered in a fluster.

Lin Xiao released her. He had no choice. It wasn't just her; he was getting hot too. An inferno was starting to rage within him.

Su Qingning scrambled to get off his lap as if fleeing for her life, but the moment she pushed herself up, her legs gave way, and she nearly collapsed.

With lightning reflexes, Lin Xiao caught her in his arms again. He grinned. "Honey, are you alright? Don't tell me you want me to keep holding you."

"Hmph! I don't! I would never want a pervert like you to hold me! Now let me go!" Su Qingning exclaimed, thoroughly embarrassed. She had no idea why her legs felt so weak.

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiao's grin only grew more wicked. Still, he didn't dare hold her any longer. The fire inside him was blazing out of control, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to restrain himself if he continued.

Hooking an arm around her slender waist, he gently placed her on the adjacent seat. Lin Xiao got out of the car as quickly as he could, hunching over as he walked around to the driver's side. He would have preferred to walk with his chest out and head held high, but his little brother wasn't cooperating.

The car started towards the Hidden Dragon Villa. Sitting in the back seat, Su Qingning's mind replayed the kiss. The mere thought made her heart race and her cheeks burn, yet a sweet feeling bloomed within her.

Soon, they arrived back at the Hidden Dragon Villa.

Shao Mei'er was the only one in the vast mansion. As always, she was dressed provocatively: a snow-white blouse tucked into a black, hip-hugging skirt, her seductive legs clad in sheer stockings as thin as a cicada's wings.

Su Qingning, seeming to be in a surprisingly good mood, greeted Shao Mei'er before heading upstairs. Lin Xiao started to follow, but she stopped him. "You jerk, I'd like to be alone for a while, okay?"

Lin Xiao stopped in his tracks. He understood that she needed time to process everything that had happened, from the humiliation she suffered at the hands of Xue Jingdong to, of course, the kiss they had shared.

He watched her disappear up the stairs before Shao Mei'er sidled up to him. "Stinky Daddy," she purred with a flirtatious smile, "what's wrong with the madam?"

"She was bullied by Xue Jingdong," Lin Xiao replied.

"What? That piece of trash dared to bully the madam? Just wait, I'll grab Chu Xiangxue and we'll go teach him a lesson for her!"

"No need. I already took care of him."

Shao Mei'er beamed. "Stinky Daddy, you're the best!"

Lin Xiao's eyes swept over her. "Why are you home?" he asked with a smile.

"I was exhausted from work, so I came back to rest," Shao Mei'er said with a pout.

"Well, that's what you get for starting so many businesses. One minute it's a restaurant, the next it's a beauty salon. Of course you're tired."

"I can't help it! I opened the restaurant because I love to eat, and the beauty salon because I love being beautiful. But those are just for fun, anyway."

"So what's your main business?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"An investment firm. My dad gave me one billion to play around with."

"How much did you lose?"

"Stinky Daddy, you're so mean! I've already quadrupled it!" she declared proudly.

"Impressive!" Lin Xiao laughed.

Beaming at his praise, Shao Mei'er was about to speak when she suddenly cried out, "Oh!" and her voluptuous body stumbled towards him. "Stinky Daddy, catch me," she said delicately. "The sun is so strong, it's making me dizzy!"

Lin Xiao instinctively reached out to steady her. Shao Mei'er fell into his embrace, shamelessly hooking her arms around his neck. She gazed up at him, her eyes soft and alluring.

"Stinky Daddy, I don't feel well," she murmured. "Can you carry me to bed?"
