The drinking party lasted deep into the night before it finally broke up. As they were leaving, Guo Dingtian respectfully asked, "Lin Xiao, do you have time tomorrow at noon?"

"What is it?"

"My father heard you were in Shengjing and would like to invite you for a meal!"

"Maybe next time. I have to return to Jinling City tomorrow."

Guo Dingtian nodded helplessly. When his father learned that Lin Xiao was in Shengjing, he had immediately insisted that Guo Dingtian should spare no expense to invite him over for a visit. Guo Dingtian had assumed that since he was Lin Xiao's student, he would be shown some consideration. He never expected Lin Xiao to refuse him outright.

A wave of dejection washed over Guo Dingtian, but he didn't press the matter. After all, Lin Xiao was the Dragon Lord; he wouldn't dare say more.

Huang Xingcheng felt even more dejected than Guo Dingtian. His grandfather had also found out Lin Xiao was in Shengjing. In fact, if Huang Xingcheng hadn't stopped him, the old man would have rushed over to the bar. He had hoped to treat Lin Xiao to a proper meal tomorrow, but unfortunately, Lin Xiao was already heading back to Jinling City.

Lin Xiao noticed their glum expressions and chuckled. "Don't read too much into it. Just focus on doing your jobs well. Your careers aren't going to advance to the next level just because of a single meal."

Both Guo Dingtian and Huang Xingcheng shuddered at his words, then nodded in unison.

Surrounded by the group, Lin Xiao walked toward the exit of the private room, where Cheng Shaoshang was still kneeling. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, Cheng Shaoshang frantically lowered his head. He desperately wanted to say something but didn't dare open his mouth. He knew with stark clarity that anything he said now would be useless.

Lin Xiao didn't even spare him a glance as he turned and headed downstairs.

On the way back to the Chu residence, Chu Xiangxue was, of course, the one driving. She kept stealing glances at Lin Xiao.

Feigning sleep, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Chu Xiangxue, you're acting a bit strange tonight."

"Stinky Daddy, how have I been strange?" Chu Xiangxue asked, her face lit up with a brilliant smile.

Lin Xiao teased, "You've glanced at me dozens of times since we left. Did you just now discover how handsome I am?"

Chu Xiangxue nodded with a grin. "Yes, I suddenly realized how handsome you are. I mean, I always knew you were handsome, but tonight... tonight you're so dashing it makes my heart race. I just want to throw myself into your arms and kiss you wildly!"

"Then you can forget about it," Lin Xiao laughed.

Chu Xiangxue pouted playfully. "Stinky Daddy, honestly, for the first time, I'm a little envious of your wife. My family background is stronger than hers, I'm not bad-looking, and I'm a huge star. But right now, I truly envy her."

"Everyone has their own fate. Envy is useless."

Chu Xiangxue nodded. "You're right, everyone has their own fate. Stinky Daddy, if I had been the first person you met, do you think you would have fallen for me?"

"I don't know. I never speculate about things that didn't happen."

Chu Xiangxue pouted her sexy red lips in frustration. After driving a little further, she suddenly asked, "Stinky Daddy, can I ask you a question?"

"About my identity and background?" Lin Xiao countered with a smile.

Chu Xiangxue laughed. "Stinky Daddy, you're so smart!"

She really had been wanting to ask him about this. The way both Huang Xingcheng and Guo Dingtian acted tonight had made her realize that Lin Xiao couldn't possibly be just a disciple of the Sect Master of Immortal Medicine. If that was his only identity, she could understand Huang Xingcheng's deep respect, since his grandfather was a member of the Immortal Doctor Sect. But Guo Dingtian would never have been so deferential. He was the Dragon Lord's student, after all. Someone with such a prestigious background would never show that much reverence to a mere disciple of the Immortal Doctor Sect's master.

"Why don't you take a guess, then? What do you think my identity is?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

The moment the words left his mouth, Chu Xiangxue slammed on the brakes, pulling the car to a sharp stop at the side of the road. She stared intently at him.

"Stinky Daddy, are you the Dragon Lord?"

Lin Xiao smiled back. "Do you think I am?"

"I think you are!" Chu Xiangxue declared, nodding emphatically.

She had spent the whole evening trying to figure out Lin Xiao's identity. She had concluded that he was either the famous Dragon Lord or someone with an equally formidable background. But she was leaning toward him being the Dragon Lord. She had even made a firm decision: if Lin Xiao really was the Dragon Lord, she would do anything—even if it meant shamelessly throwing herself at him—to get into his bed. It wasn't that Chu Xiangxue lacked self-respect. It was just that the status of the Dragon Lord was too irresistible, so much so that she felt compelled to do this.

"And what if I'm not?" Lin Xiao asked, a playful glint in his eyes.

Chu Xiangxue suddenly burst out laughing. "Stinky Daddy, I understand now!"

"Understand my ass. Just drive. I'm tired and want to sleep."

"How about you sleep with me? Any way you want!" Chu Xiangxue purred with a seductive smile.

"In your dreams."

"Exactly! And I'm having some very beautiful dreams. I've already made up my mind. I'm going to be your woman, no matter what your identity is. I'll even be your mistress... no, even a maid would be fine!" she declared, her smile radiant.

Lin Xiao was speechless. Who would believe that the great star Chu Xiangxue would say something like that?

The car drove for another moment before stopping in front of a three-story, detached villa. This wasn't the Chu family estate.

"Where are we?" Lin Xiao asked, curious.

"My place!"

"What are we doing here?"

Chu Xiangxue smiled. "There are too many people back at my family's house. It's not very convenient for us to... conduct our business."

"Business my ass! Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself."

"Nope! I'm going to be filthy. Right now, my mind is filled with nothing but what positions would make you feel the best when we're tangled in the sheets!"

She was getting bolder. Lin Xiao was speechless once again. He quickly got out of the car and walked toward the villa.

Chu Xiangxue happily scurried after him. When she caught up, she brazenly took his arm and hugged it tightly against her chest. The soft, ample, and intoxicating feeling was immediate.

This woman really is stacked, Lin Xiao thought as he quickly pulled his arm away.

Chu Xiangxue pouted coquettishly. "Stinky Daddy, don't push me away, okay?"

"Get lost," Lin Xiao muttered.

"Wow, Stinky Daddy, how can you be so handsome even when you're cursing?"

Fuck, Lin Xiao thought, completely speechless. He was utterly defeated by this woman. She was acting like a total lunatic.

The moment they stepped into the villa, Chu Xiangxue brought Lin Xiao a pair of slippers. She diligently knelt down, took off his shoes for him, and personally slipped his feet into the slippers. Once she was done, she asked cheerfully, "Stinky Daddy, are you tired?"

"Exhausted. I'm going to get some rest. You should rest early, too."

He had no desire to spend another minute alone with her. Heaven knows what other outrageous thing she'll do next.

"I'm tired too," she said. "Why don't we take a bath together first?"

Lin Xiao was left completely speechless.
