Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 600 The Sleepless One

"It's nothing, probably just didn't rest well,"

Lin Ruoxue said casually.

"Then, after dinner I'll give you a massage,"

Su Chen could see that Lin Ruoxue was just humoring him, but he didn't say anything.

"Yeah, I'm so hungry. Let's eat,"

A smile appeared on Lin Ruoxue's face as she spoke.

After that, the two sat down together for dinner, having grown accustomed to sharing breakfast and dinner with each other.

During these moments, both felt particularly at ease and comfortable, as if they were shielded from the storms of the outside world.

After finishing dinner, Su Chen started to massage Lin Ruoxue on the sofa.

Lin Ruoxue was indeed very tired, and within less than three minutes, she leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.

Su Chen, unusually, did not take advantage of her. Instead, he infused one or two strands of his True Yuan into Lin Ruoxue's body and then gently carried her upstairs, laid her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

After finishing these tasks, he quietly exited the room and closed the door softly behind him.

Descending the stairs, Su Chen returned to his own room and began his routine cultivation...

......

At the same time, in a room within the Situ estate, Situ Lei was smoking a cigar, his eyebrows knit together, filled with disquiet.

Why had there been no news of that guy being killed after such a long time?

Could it be that Ghost Shadow Twins had failed?

Impossible!

They were assassins ranked among the top four on the Black List, and they were brothers, too—one at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement and the other at the Qi Refinement Peak, most adept in concealing their own presence.

How could such skilled assassins fail?

Perhaps they had been delayed by some matter, and had not yet made their move?

After much thought, this was the only somewhat reasonable explanation Situ Lei could come up with.

"Then enjoy yourself a little longer. In a few days, as soon as the Ghost Shadow Twins make their move, you can say goodbye to this world!"

Situ Lei thought bitterly, his eyes filled with a cold chill!

.....

On this night, Shen Shao was another who couldn't fall asleep, just like Situ Lei.

He stayed in his study all night, looking over and over again at the photos on his phone!

Each time he viewed them, the rage in his heart grew stronger!

At this moment, it was as if his heart were being scorched by burning coals, and his facial expression turned ferocious, drastically different from his usual gentle and refreshing demeanor!

"Su Chen, what makes you worthy?!"

Shen Shao looked at the photo, gritting his teeth as he squeezed out the words, his teeth grinding audibly, revealing the rage and violence in his heart!

No wonder, for a man to have the woman he had loved for so many years taken away by another man, it was unbearable for any man!

And even more so for Shen Shao!

He had always believed that only a woman like Pei Man was worthy of him!

So even though Pei Man had never agreed to him, and had made it clear she didn't like him, he still stayed true to himself, not fooling around with any other women!

He believed that no matter what, Pei Man would eventually be his, would be the future lady of the Shen Family!

Because apart from him, there was no one who would dare to marry such a cunning woman!

Of course, there was another important reason why he wanted to marry Pei Man—the Pei Family!

If the Shen Family could form an alliance with the Pei Family through marriage, especially by tying the knot between the most outstanding members of the younger generation, their strength and influence would be unmatched!

The other families wouldn't even dare to have the thought of challenging them. From then on, Yandu wouldn't be the Five Great Families, but three major families and two supreme families!

And he harbored an even greater ambition, that when the time was ripe, he would merge the two families into one—and then the Shen Family would reach its peak under his command!

Of course, he had never shared this ambition with anyone, not even his own grandfather, the Family Head of the Shen Family!

It was only in the dead of night, within his study, that he dared to fantasize about such a scenario!

He believed that as long as he married Pei Man, it was indeed possible, albeit incredibly difficult!

However, all this—whether his feelings or his ambitions—were shattered today by one man!

He would never allow such a situation to happen, absolutely not!

So, that man, must die!

But Shen Shao was a man of reason, and even though rage and jealousy nearly consumed him, he still refrained from acting rashly!

He was waiting, waiting for news from Situ Lei!

.......

Su Chen had spent the night cultivating and, as always, woke up early to prepare breakfast, while Auntie Sun was responsible for the cleaning, much like Wang Ma back in Jianghai.

After a few days of living together, Auntie Sun became more familiar with both Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue and was no longer as nervous and anxious as she had been at the start.

"Young master-in-law, you treat Miss so well, nowadays there are very few men who make breakfast for women every day," Auntie Sun remarked while cleaning.

She had always been somewhat puzzled as to why she should call him 'young master-in-law' and 'Miss,' when in normal households they would be referred to as 'Sir' and 'Madam.'

However, this was what Lin Ruoxue had told her when she was chosen, so she dared not ask any more questions.

"Auntie Sun, your praise makes me bashful," Su Chen said with a smile while preparing breakfast.

"I'm not as good as you say, I just do it out of affection."

"Anyway, I have worked in many wealthy households and I have never seen a husband treat his wife as well as you do," Auntie Sun continued with a smile.

"Miss is very fortunate to have married you!"

"Auntie Sun, you'll make me blush if you keep praising me like this," Su Chen responded, stirring the porridge in the pot.

"But Auntie Sun, you misspoke just now."

"Where did I go wrong?" Auntie Sun glanced at Su Chen, puzzled.

"It's not Miss marrying me but rather me marrying her—I've married into her family, haha," Su Chen laughed.

Auntie Sun immediately felt awkward; after all, for a man, marrying into a woman's family was considered a rather shameful thing.

For a moment, she had no idea what to say.

She looked at Su Chen and thought how strange this man was; while other men would feel ashamed to mention marrying into a woman's family, he seemed eager for others to know as if it was nothing, openly acknowledging it with ease.

What she didn't know was that, to Su Chen, such matters were simply inconsequential trivialities.

To him, what was the point in fussing over a formal matter like this? It was utterly trivial!

He had just mentioned it in passing, as a light-hearted joke.

At that moment, Auntie Sun seemed to have a realization as to why her mistress had asked her to address them as 'young master-in-law' and 'Miss'—it was because this man had married into the family!

In fact, she had completely misunderstood; Lin Ruoxue hadn't given it much thought when it came to the choice of titles.

Since Wang Ma used to call them that and everyone was accustomed to it, Lin Ruoxue had simply said it offhandedly...
