Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 87: Suspicious Lin Guoqiang

When Su Lin dropped Xia Shiyu off at her home, he noticed Liu Mei pushing a Wanwan Milk Tea cart. Is that Ye Fengs mom? Lin Xiaowan, who had a good impression of Liu Mei, asked.

Su Lin nodded, We met her at the amusement park before, remember? We bought milk tea from her.

I just dont get it. Ye Fengs mom seems like such an honest person. How did Ye Feng end up like that? Lin Xiaowan said, frowning.

Su Lin responded lightly, Perhaps its because Ye Feng became arrogant due to his early success.

As for early success, whos had more than you? Our supermarket has only been open for a few days and has already made millions, Lin Xiaowan pointed out.

Hehe~! Thats just good luck, and having you and Xiaoyus help. Without you two, my supermarket wouldnt have been so easy to set up, Su Lin humbly replied.

Xixi, Su Lin, youre pretty amazing too. Im heading home now.

Okay, see you tomorrow, Xiaoyu.

Bye~!!!

After Xia Shiyu went inside, Su Lin prepared to drive off.

Su Lin about us

Call me husband, Su Lin interjected.

No way, I wont call you that.

If you dont, Ill have to enforce house rules. Lin Xiaowan instinctively put her hands behind her back to stop him from touching her.

Hahaha~! Xiaowan, youre too cute, Su Lin couldnt help but laugh, amused by her protective stance.

Annoyed and embarrassed, Lin Xiaowan hit Su Lin playfully, Youre awful, Su Lin. Ill beat you up.

Stop, stop, Im driving. Lets not get violent, he quipped.

You asked for it, she retorted, still a bit shy.

Alright, Xiaowan, let me take you home.

Lin Xiaowan shook her head, Lets go to the company first. Its too early to go home, and theres no one there. Ill have to come out for dinner later anyway.

Why didnt you say that when Xiaoyu was here?

Lin Xiaowan then gave Su Lin a look.

Oh! I get it, my Xiaowan wants to spend some alone time with me, Su Lin said with a smile.

Who who wants to spend alone time with you? I just forgot when Xiaoyu was here, Lin Xiaowan awkwardly replied.

Su Lin chuckled but didnt expose her, Alright, well go to the supermarket to check things out, then have dinner together. What do you want to eat?

I want to eat skewers. Theres a new place from Shu opened at the north gate. I heard its really good. Lets go there, Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan looked at him eagerly, showing a side she wouldnt reveal in front of Xia Shiyu.

Su Lin, enjoying this, agreed, Okay! Skewers it is. Lets go eat, he agreed.

Lin Xiaowan really liked how Su Lin instantly agreed to the request she made, without hesitation. This unconditional indulgence was intoxicating for her, and she reveled in it.

The two of them visited the supermarket, where they found that Chen Yang, the usual manager, was not there. He had left the store in the hands of a deputy manager, Zhang Yong, while he went to negotiate for a new location.

Upon hearing of Su Lin and Lin Xiaowans arrival, Zhang Yong came over, eager to report on the stores status.

Su Lin gestured dismissively, No need to report to me. Just report back to Chen Yang. Everything is fine with the store, right?

Zhang Yong nodded, Everything is normal.

Good, keep up the good work. If you do well as the acting manager, youll be promoted to the official position, Su Lin encouraged him.

Zhang Yong was thrilled at the prospect. Quan Le Gou Store was now one of the most famous supermarkets in Zhongjiang, and the opportunity to be its manager excited him greatly.

Alright, were just here for a quick look around, then well leave, Su Lin said.

Zhang Yong noticed that Su Lin was there to spend time with Lin Xiaowan. He felt envious. Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan, and Xia Shiyu were often seen together, and the staff were familiar with them and speculated about their relationship.

Most believed that both Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu were special to Su Lin.

Su Lin, is Zhang Yong reliable? Lin Xiaowan asked, concerned about their shared venture.

Su Lin nodded, He should be. Hes one of Yangzis people. We have to trust him.

Arent you worried about Chen Yang taking people away to become your competitor? In business, his management skills are well-known, and most of the staff were brought up by him. If they really caused trouble, you might not be able to control it.

Su Lin smiled lightly, Its okay if I cant control the staff, as long as Chen Yang doesnt betray us, they wont cause trouble, will they?

You trust him that much?

Su Lin smiled again, Xiaowan, do you think you and Xiaoyu would betray me?

Of course not, Im your girlfriend, and Xiaoyu wouldnt either. Shes not much different from me.

Yangzi isnt the type to repay kindness with ingratitude, so we should trust him, Su Lin said confidently.

Lin Xiaowan nodded, Okay. She was somewhat puzzled, though. Even though Su Lin had helped Chen Yang, such favors couldnt bind someone for a lifetime, especially someone as capable as Chen Yang.

But Su Lin seemed confident, so she didnt question further. After dinner, Su Lin drove Lin Xiaowan home.

After dinner, Su Lin drove Lin Xiaowan home. As the car reached the entrance of the Zhongjiang Family Compound, Lin Xiaowan prepared to get out, but Su Lin quickly grabbed her. Xiaowan, are you just going to leave like that?

Lin Xiaowan turned, What else?

Su Lin hinted, Cough cough Hasnt someone forgotten their changed status? He pointed at her and then at his cheek.

Instantly understanding his implication, Lin Xiaowan silently smiled and hooked her finger. Su Lin joyfully leaned in close.

Lin Xiaowan playfully pinched Su Lins nose, Hahaha, got you!

Su Lin, with a mischievous smile, then firmly held Lin Xiaowan and kissed her.

Mmm

Upstairs, Lin Guoqiang was about to open a window for ventilation and happened to see Su Lins Mercedes at the gate. He noticed the car lights flickering and then going out, with no sign of Lin Xiaowan getting out of the car.

He became instantly suspicious. Could those two be doing something in the car? The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. Wife, wife~!!

Wang Xiaoqian emerged from the bathroom, her face covered in cucumber slices. What is it? Cant you see Im doing my beauty routine?

Lin Guoqiang said, I saw that kid Su Lins car.

Wang Xiaoqian, nonchalantly, You see Su Lin dropping off our daughter every day, dont you?

Its different this time. Usually, Xiaowan gets out of the car immediately, but today the lights were off for quite a while, and Xiaowan hasnt gotten out. Do you think they could be dating?

Wang Xiaoqian, slightly irritated, Here you go again. How many times have you asked Xiaowan? A hundred? She has told you every time they are not dating. Dont you know your own daughter?

If she started dating Su Lin, she wouldnt hide it from you. Why are you being so paranoid?

Lin Guoqiangs face reddened; indeed, he had frequently asked Lin Xiaowan this question, and she had grown impatient with him. I havent asked recently, have I?

Maybe Xiaowan is just talking with Su Lin, or perhaps they are simply chatting. Listen, Lin, dont you dare ask her about it. If you upset her and she actually starts dating Su Lin, then not even ten bulls will be able to pull her back.

Lin Guoqiang chuckled awkwardly; stubbornness was a family trait. Both Wang Xiaoqian and Lin Xiaowan were similarly headstrong.

Fine, go watch your news. Dont disturb me; I still have to finish my beauty routine.

Lin Guoqiang sighed, shaking his head who would have thought that a strong woman like Wang Xiaoqian would be like this at home? No matter how strong a woman is, she still loves beauty.

Alright, I wont ask, but this Su Lin, always hanging around our daughter

He drives your daughter home every day for free. You should be thanking him.

Me? Thank him? Lin Guoqiang shook his head, Impossible!
