Chapter 334: Chapter 333 Another Unknown Number "But, Brother Lin, I still have a few days until I turn sixteen. Will this cause you any trouble?" Su Wenshan asked apprehensively. My old man was right not to praise just anyone. Other kids would have been too overjoyed to forget themselves, let alone consider others. Yet even in his excitement, Su Wenshan remained clear-headed. Lin Tian was very satisfied with the boy. "Don’t worry, just start working. You’ll be doing odd jobs, so it won’t affect your studies. Just work at the bar during your free time," Lin Tian waved his hand, unconcerned. "Alright, I’ll follow Brother Lin’s lead," Su Wenshan nodded vigorously in agreement. For Lin Tian, the matter was simple, so he didn’t feel anything special about it. Seeing that everything was nearly settled, it was time for him to leave. "Aunt Cai, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now," Lin Tian nodded and called out. "Wenshan, Qingqing, you two go see Lin Tian off," the woman said. As the three of them walked out of the house, halfway there Su Wenshan suddenly spoke up, "Ah, my stomach feels a bit off, might have eaten something wrong, I have to go to the bathroom urgently. Big sis, I’ll have to trouble you with seeing Brother Lin off." Without waiting for Su Qingqing’s objection, Su Wenshan turned and went upstairs, and as he did, he winked at Lin Tian, passing on a certain message. This kid, feigning a stomachache just to create some alone time for two. Why didn’t you say you had prostatitis instead? Lin Tian shook his head, amused. With Su Wenshan gone, only Lin Tian and Su Qingqing were left in the dim and narrow corridor, and it was bedtime, so it was very quiet all around. Su Qingqing sneaked a glance at Lin Tian, noticing that he was just beside her. As they walked, there were occasional brushes against each other. She felt her face heat up, and her heartbeat uncooperatively quickened. All the way to the door, Su Qingqing remained silent, enjoying the atmosphere. She knew she and Lin Tian were from different worlds. She didn’t hope for anything more, just to quietly be by his side was already more than enough for her, even if it was just for a short while. "You can go back. I remember the way out," Lin Tian casually waved his hand and chuckled, not knowing the thoughts that had just run through the little girl’s mind. After he spoke, Lin Tian turned and walked away, disappearing into the dim alley before long. Su Qingqing stood by the door, watching the direction in which Lin Tian had left, and only after a long time did she close the door and go upstairs. Lin Tian left quite swiftly, following the route he came by. He picked up his pace and soon reached the entrance of the urban village. Looking back at the dimly lit village, while tonight seemed like an ordinary night, it seemed something extraordinary had happened. The Sun Shadow Association, what exactly was it? With such thoughts in his mind, Lin Tian got into his car, started it up, and drove back. When he returned to the Xiao Mansion, it was already midnight, and the servants had long since gone to bed, with only the security guards dutifully on watch. Lin Tian had thought those women would have gone to sleep by now, but when he arrived at the traditional Chinese villa, all the women except for Song Yanan and her disciples were there. However, Xiao Manxuan, that little girl, was already dozing off on the sofa, her serene appearance like an angel, vastly different from her usual mischievous demeanor. "Lin Tian, I thought you might not come back tonight," Zi Yan glanced at Lin Tian and said casually, then continued watching the soap opera on TV. This woman, wearing a silk robe, was also lounging on the sofa. Her voluptuous figure was revealed without reservation. Whether she was talking or watching TV, she exuded a lazy charm. This appearance and her usual mature allure were quite different. Had she not moved into the Xiao family, Lin Tian would have had no chance to see this other side of her bewitchment. "Well, Miss, you know, I’m an honest man. After finishing my work, I came straight back. How could I not return home for the night? With so many beauties at home, it would be foolish to spend the night out," Lin Tian’s gaze wandered over Zi Yan before he honestly spoke. The Miss continued watching the TV, leaving it to herself whether she was really watching the soap opera or not. Without turning her head, she said, "Whether you’re an honest person or not, how would I know that?" "Hehe..." Zi Yan giggled coquettishly, giving Lin Tian a flirtatious glance. She said airily, "Junior brother, coming back so late, you must have had an enjoyable time." She deliberately shifted the attention, "Our Tianxue Jewelry hired a girl named Su Qingqing. I saw her resume; she has worked at the Night Rose Bar. Is she a female friend of yours?" Female friend? That term is quite artistic. Lin Tian felt his tongue couldn’t match these two women’s. "Correct, she’s a friend of mine," Lin Tian acknowledged generously. "Hehe, this girl is quite good. I’ll have her work with me from now on, not just limited to Tianxue Jewelry," Xiao Manxue seemed to like Su Qingqing quite a bit and said with a smile. "Miss, isn’t this like embezzling Tianxue Jewelry’s talents? The salary can’t be too stingy," Lin Tian teased, seeing that she liked her, he felt relieved. Xiao Manxue gave him a charming look and replied, "What’s your hurry? As a hands-off manager, you have the nerve to say that. You don’t even know how many employees we have now. Alright, Xuanxuan insisted on waiting for you, and now that you’re back, we should also go to sleep." She stood up, gently picked up Xiao Manxuan, and went upstairs. Zi Yan stretched lazily, gave Lin Tian another glance, and said nothing as she followed upstairs. That little girl Manxuan always touched people’s hearts. As for the other two women, they both seemed to have been waiting for me, Lin Tian watched the beautiful figures ascend and wondered to himself. Am I becoming too sentimental? Why else would I think like this? It must be a lack of sleep making me confused, Lin Tian negated his own guess. In his dream, there was the Miss, the Second Miss, and Zi Yan. Suddenly, another woman broke into his dream. Lin Tian saw through the haze what seemed to be Mrs. Xiao. Startled, he awoke, and daylight had already filled his surroundings. My sins, my sins, Mrs. Xiao, I’m truly sorry, Lin Tian internally chastised himself, but he also felt a strange sense of regret. "Ding-a-ling-a-ling..." The phone’s ringtone suddenly burst forth. Lin Tian picked up the phone and saw, damn, another unfamiliar number! This chapter is updated by free(w)ebnovel(.)com
