NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1181: "Truce
Around 7:30, Lin Ruoxue returned.
Seeing Su Chen back, Lin Ruoxue felt equally surprised and delighted!
After a while, dinner was served.
Because Su Chen was back, everyone enjoyed the meal happily.
Luo Xiwen didn't want to dampen everyone's mood, so she didn't glare at Su Chen anymore.
After dinner, they went out for a walk and then lay chatting by the hot spring pool.
By after 9:00, everyone returned to their rooms.
Su Chen also returned to his room, and once there, he took out the Token.
The appearance of the Ximen Clan reignited his curiosity about the Token!
What secret does the Token hold to intrigue the Ximen Clan so much?
Su Chen started examining the pitch-black and worn Token again.
But as before, after over an hour, he gained nothing!
Su Chen had to put the Token away again, not thinking about it anymore.
His eyes flickered, he walked out of his room, came to a door, and pushed it open to go inside.
Lin Ruoxue had just finished her bath and stepped out, only to find this mischievous guy sneaking in!
Seeing his cheeky face, Lin Ruoxue knew exactly why he came!
At this moment, Lin Ruoxue looked like a beauty just out of the bath, making Su Chen instantly captivated!
"Darling, you're so beautiful!"
Su Chen wrapped his arms around Lin Ruoxue and genuinely praised her.
"Only you can say sweet things!"
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Ruoxue retorted, but her heart was still sweet.
Just then, Su Chen skillfully kissed Lin Ruoxue, and she quickly responded.
Slowly, the two fell onto the soft bed...
.....
After the storm passed, both were drenched in sweat, lying at the head of the bed resting, a thin quilt covered them, Lin Ruoxue nestled in Su Chen's arms.
Su Chen habitually lit a cigarette, and his hand gently slid over Lin Ruoxue's arm.
"Honey, can you reconcile with Luo Xiwen?"
After a while, Lin Ruoxue said.
"What's the matter?"
Su Chen asked with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Think about it, one is my husband, and the other is my best friend, I'm really in a tough spot."
Lin Ruoxue said, after all, she didn't seem right siding with either.
"Alright, for my dear wife's sake, I won't argue with that little girl!"
Su Chen laughed, he originally had no real issue with Luo Xiwen, just sometimes found it amusing when she looked upset.
Since Lin Ruoxue said so, he agreed.
"Smooch!"
At his words, Lin Ruoxue kissed Su Chen's face:
"You're still the best, hubby!"
"Of course!"
Su Chen cheekily declared, then looked at Lin Ruoxue with a mischievous grin:
"I agreed to your request, shouldn't you show some gratitude?"
"How do you want to be thanked?"
Lin Ruoxue's heart immediately skipped a beat...
"Of course... A repeat performance!"
Su Chen laughed heartily, then enveloped them both under the quilt.
Lin Ruoxue's gasp quickly followed...
.....
Early next morning, when the sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at Lin Ruoxue still sleeping in his arms, a tender smile of love appeared on his face.
He gazed at Lin Ruoxue's beautiful face, gradually becoming enchanted...
"Honey, you're awake, huh?"
After a while, Lin Ruoxue also opened her eyes, saw Su Chen staring at her, and smiled slightly.
"Yes."
Seeing Lin Ruoxue awake too, Su Chen leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette.
Lin Ruoxue got up too, though she felt a bit sore as she rose!
No doubt, all thanks to that mischievous Su Chen, who had worn her out during the night!
Su Chen finished his cigarette and also got up.
After washing up, they headed to the dining room.
At that moment, all the other ladies had also gotten up and gathered there.
Breakfast was prepared by Xia Qiuru and Du Hanbing, it looked quite nice.
So, everyone sat at the dining table, ready to eat breakfast.
Just then, Su Chen reached out a hand towards Luo Xiwen across the table:
"Xiwen, how about we reconcile and call a truce?"
As he said this, a warm, spring-like smile appeared on Su Chen's face, exuding friendliness!
Su Chen's gesture startled not only Luo Xiwen but also the other women!
Luo Xiwen stared at Su Chen's extended hand, momentarily blank!
What's with him today?
Did he take the wrong medicine?
He's actually initiating a reconciliation and truce with me!
It's not surprising Luo Xiwen thought so, given how at odds they were just last night!
"Oh, alright!"
After a moment, Luo Xiwen, somewhat bewildered, and irresistibly compelled, also reached out and gently shook Su Chen's hand.
Seeing Su Chen offering a bridge, Luo Xiwen even felt uncharacteristically embarrassed, pondering:
Was she perhaps a bit excessive in the past?
After all, aside from the mistaken identity incident and being played at the company gate, he hadn't really done anything over the line but rather helped solve her issue with Dimans last time.
It's undeniable, women are "fickle," and even the previously unimpeachable Luo Xiwen, upon Su Chen's morning gesture of reconciliation, began to reflect on her own behavior!
"Ruoxue, you made that guy make up with Xiwen, right?"
Du Hanbing whispered with a laugh to Lin Ruoxue beside her.
Lin Ruoxue smiled, nodded gently in silence.
"Aren't you worried that once they reconcile, Xiwen might fall for that guy?"
Du Hanbing said jokingly.
"If that's really the case, then it's their fate."
Lin Ruoxue also smiled softly, her voice low.
Being as sharp as Lin Ruoxue, she had certainly considered this possibility!
For he indeed possessed a charm that attracted women!
No need for further evidence, just look at the women in the villa!
Yet now Lin Ruoxue had already figured things out regarding this aspect; such matters can't be stopped just by wanting to!
Moreover, who knows how many women this guy might have in the future!
After the incident in the M Country, Lin Ruoxue only needed to be certain of one thing!
That is—does this man love her deeply enough!
Compared to that, everything else becomes less significant!
