The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

"You can't say that." The senior brother laughed and said, "If she is willing to marry me, I am willing to accept everything about her. It's just a pity she doesn't want to marry me."

"You should turn around and tell our master to call off this marriage arrangement," Lin Chuan said.

"That won't do," the senior brother shook his head and said, "Back then, our sects were pleased to unite in marriage, a perfect match. Now that our Xuanyuan Sect is weaker than others, we need this marriage even more to bolster our position, or everyone will come to step on us."

"Senior brother, you can't say that," Lin Chuan said with a bitter smile, "after all, my strength is limited, and besides, Chu Qiuyan doesn't want to marry me at all. She's making a scene now because she wants to call off the marriage herself. Why shouldn't we fulfill her wish?"

"Our master is longing for this marriage to revitalize our sect," the senior brother laughed heartily.

A look of agony crossed Lin Chuan's face, and he didn't want to talk anymore.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance to Changlin Factory.

Tang Yumeng and the others were still waiting there late at night. The black Audi was parked at the factory entrance, Zhou Kai and a group of people were looking around there, seemingly waiting for Lin Chuan's return.

Under the streetlight, more than a dozen shadows were pacing back and forth.

"Hey, why hasn't Brother Chuan come back yet?"

"Do you think it was Song Ming's people? Otherwise, Brother Chuan surely wouldn't have made it out alive."

The brothers were truly worried.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chuan was also very moved. One would be content to make such brothers in a lifetime, and yet, by chance, he had found so many good brothers, which moved Lin Chuan deeply.

"Brothers, I'm back!" Lin Chuan suddenly shouted out loud.

At first, everyone was stunned, but then, they all turned their heads. As soon as they saw Lin Chuan coming back, they immediately swarmed over.

"Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan is back," the bunch of guys exclaimed with joy.

"Brother Chuan is here." Everyone rushed over wildly.

The group charged up, and Zhou Kai along with Lu Dapao and others lifted Lin Chuan up, everyone arm in arm, tossing Lin Chuan high into the air. Tang Yumeng and the others, upon learning what was happening, also ran out, and seeing this scene, everyone's worries were immediately relieved.

"Thank goodness, Lin Chuan finally came back."

"I knew Lin Chuan would be alright."

Zhou Rui and Nuo Xiaoxi, among others, hugged each other in excitement. Song Xiaojia also showed a relieved smile. Tang Yumeng's face also relaxed. With Lin Chuan's return, the stone weighing on their hearts finally hit the ground.

"Brother Chuan, you jerk, finally you're back. You had us so worried," Zhou Kai said excitedly.

"Exactly, these past few days I haven't slept well at all," Huang Bo sighed, "I was so afraid something had happened to you."

Lin Chuan patted everyone on the shoulders and said, "Brothers, sorry for making you worry."

"Look at you," Zhou Kai chuckled, "Worrying about you is what we should do. If it weren't for you, where would we be today?"

"Right, right, right!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Lin Chuan walked over to Tang Yumeng.

When Tang Yumeng saw Lin Chuan, she was already crying her eyes out. Lin Chuan enveloped her in his arms and said, "Sis, you've lost weight."

"It's all because of you!" Tang Yumeng huffed.

"Yes, yes, yes," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "It's all my fault, all because of me."

"Actually, it's not just me. Look, the girls have all lost quite a bit of weight," Tang Yumeng said lightly as she wriggled out of Lin Chuan's embrace and then pointed out, "See, they've all lost a lot."

Song Xiaojia quickly said, "I haven't lost any weight. I've been eating and sleeping well since coming back, and I've actually gained a pound."

Pfft...

Zhou Rui couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

In truth, everyone knew that Song Xiaojia was really worried about Lin Chuan, hardly able to eat or sleep each day. Yet, she lied about gaining weight, clearly trying to draw a line between herself and Lin Chuan.

In fact, everyone knew Song Xiaojia was Lin Chuan's official girlfriend. Originally, Lin Chuan had unintentionally stumbled upon Tang Yumeng and Bai Yifan dating at the provincial theater. Coupled with an encounter with Song Xiaojia, the two of them became a couple. Tang Yumeng knew about it, Nuo Xiaoxi knew, and Zhou Rui knew as well.

However, now that Lin Chuan was with Tang Yumeng, it would undoubtedly leave some feeling sad.

Lin Chuan enveloped the girls in his arms and laughed, "The boss is finally back, hahaha..."

"This naughty guy, shouting so loudly, you nearly scared me to death," Zhou Rui said as she playfully punched Lin Chuan's chest.

Not far away, Zhou Kai and the others watched curiously.

"Tsk tsk, to be a man like Brother Chuan is definitely a success," Zhou Kai smacked his lips.

"Why?" Goudan asked curiously.

"Being surrounded by ladies, enjoying the fortune of many," Zhou Kai said with envy. An average man would be satisfied with just one beautiful girlfriend.

But Lin Chuan had so many beautiful women, and they were all top-notch. This was truly shocking and unbelievable to everyone. Goudan blinked and then said with a smirk, "What's so difficult about that? I can do it too!"

"You, kid?" Zhou Kai scoffed and then said, "You're not even fully grown yet."

"Just you wait. One day I'll gather a few girls too," Goudan said dismissively.

Back home, the empty house suddenly seemed a bit crowded.

Lin Chuan glanced at everyone and said, "I might need to go away for a few days soon."

"Where to?" Tang Yumeng hurriedly asked.

"To..." Lin Chuan smiled, "a trip abroad, there are some matters."

"It's not another mission, is it?" Tang Yumeng asked anxiously.

They all now knew about Lin Chuan's military identity. As a professional soldier, his duty was to protect the country. Therefore, he often needed to carry out certain missions, and these missions were classified.

"Mhm." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Then... isn't that very dangerous?" Zhou Rui hurriedly spoke up.

"Exactly." Song Xiaojia nodded, "Overseas missions are generally extremely perilous."

"Lin Chuan, can you not go?" Tang Yumeng pleaded.

"I can't." Lin Chuan shook his head, "Don't worry. Even though it's an overseas mission, I've completed so many without harm."

"But, often walking by the river, one's shoes will eventually get wet, won't they?" Tang Yumeng hurriedly said, "It must be dangerous if you go."

"What can you do?" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Someone has to do these things. My life matters, but so do others'."

"But..." Tang Yumeng wanted to continue.

"Xiao Yu, there are no buts." Lin Chuan said firmly, "This is the duty of a soldier."

Everyone hung their heads helplessly. With Lin Chuan putting it that way, there was nothing left to say.

"When are you leaving?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"It's urgent, so tomorrow," Lin Chuan said seriously.

"So soon!" Tang Yumeng was caught off guard.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"Then..." Tang Yumeng glanced at Zhou Rui and the others, "then have a good rest, and I'll come to see you off tomorrow."

After saying that, Tang Yumeng hurriedly left Changlin Factory.

Watching Tang Yumeng's retreating figure, Lin Chuan felt somewhat emotional. After all, Tang Yumeng was a rational woman. She knew that she wouldn't be the only one who wanted to be with Lin Chuan tonight, yet Lin Chuan was only one person, with no ability to clone himself. Thus, she chose to leave, giving Lin Chuan space.

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, I still have things to do at school. I'm going to get busy. Take care of yourself."

Even though Lin Chuan had taken her virginity, and she had a bit of a crush on him, Mu Bai was always reluctant to break through the barrier of their relationship. Furthermore, as time passed, Mu Bai found her fondness for Lin Chuan growing day by day, and it was something she couldn't forget. So, she could only immerse herself in her busy work to keep herself occupied and to forget those inexplicable feelings.

After Mu Bai and Song Xiaojia left, only Zhou Rui and Nuo Xiaoxi remained.

Nuo Xiaoxi sniffed and said, "Brother Lin, I need to pack tonight. I'll be heading to school after a while."

"Okay!" Lin Chuan nodded.

After he spoke, Nuo Xiaoxi turned and entered the room.

Zhou Rui was clutching Lin Chuan's arm, pouting, "Lin Chuan, you are leaving tomorrow, so what about me?"

"You can help me manage the company," Lin Chuan teased with a smile.

"What company, where did you get a company from?" Zhou Rui huffed.

"Now that the 'Northeast Tiger' is dead, we can take over many industries," Lin Chuan said laughingly, "You help me sort it out, and in a while, we will prepare to start a major company, aiming to become a group within a year, and strive to go public within five years."

"Are you that confident?" Zhou Rui laughed.

"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded, "How can one not have confidence?"

"This..." Zhou Rui thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll work hard for you. But, what's in it for me?"

"Later, let you be the General Manager of the group, with an annual salary of ten million," Lin Chuan joked.

"I don't care about money," Zhou Rui snorted, "If I wanted money, I would have been with Fang Zicheng by now. He's been worth hundreds of millions already."

"What do you want, then?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I want you to marry me," Zhou Rui teased as she gently flicked Lin Chuan's chin with her finger.

Lin Chuan immediately laughed, saying, "Don't do that."

Zhou Rui threw herself at him and took the initiative to kiss Lin Chuan on the lips. Lin Chuan too actively reciprocated Zhou Rui's kiss, and her playful tongue was like an eel wriggling around in Lin Chuan's mouth, tickling him.

Lin Chuan's hands moved expertly under her clothes, soon capturing her proud and full softness.

Mmmhmm...

Zhou Rui hummed softly, "Stop..."

"What's wrong?" Lin Chuan asked.

With her face all flushed, Zhou Rui said, "That hurts when you squeeze."

"Haha, are you afraid of pain?" Lin Chuan teased, "You don't get hurt from climbing walls and trees or when you fall over, but this hurts?"
