Qin Xiao agreed to his mother's request and prepared to go to the Su family to apologize the next day. As a reclusive family, the Su family did not reside in the bustling capital, but instead chose a picturesque valley to build a vast Chinese-style manor.

The following morning, Qin Xiao drove there.

The car slowly drove into the manor gate. The cobblestone road was clean and tidy, and the gardens on both sides were meticulously manicured. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the occasional clear bird song made it seem exceptionally tranquil. Unlike the imposing walls of the Gu family, the Su family exuded a kind of understated luxury and refinement.

As soon as the car came to a stop, a sprightly old butler dressed in a modified Tang suit came up to greet us with an unusually warm smile on his face.

"Is this Young Master Qin Xiao?"

Qin Xiao nodded.

The old butler clapped his hands excitedly.

"Oh my! You've finally arrived! Quick, go and inform Miss! Her precious darling has delivered himself to her doorstep!"

My precious little one? Delivered right to my door?

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, a strange feeling crossing his mind. This script... something seems off again.

Before he could think it through, he saw a blur before his eyes, and a fiery red figure, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, pounced on him almost instantly.

"Ugh..." Qin Xiao felt his body being struck by a tremendous force, followed by an astonishing softness and warmth. His breathing suddenly became difficult as a rich yet elegant fragrance forcefully entered his nostrils, carrying a captivating allure that made his mind sway.

He muttered something unconsciously.

"Who turned off the lights..."

Trying to struggle.

"I can't breathe..."

A charming, slightly reproachful voice reached my ears.

"My darling, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long, why did it take you so long to come pick me up?"

Qin Xiao then realized that what was blocking his view wasn't a light going out, but rather a certain part of his body being too large. He laboriously turned his head and finally saw the culprit.

A stunningly beautiful woman in a fiery red, tight-fitting dress was clinging to him in an extremely intimate pose. Her figure was incredibly hot, with curvaceous and alluring curves. Her long, shapely legs were wrapped around his waist like serpents, her arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, and her full breasts were pressed unceremoniously against his face, completing the incredibly powerful "face wash" she had just given him.

It was none other than Su Wanying, the eldest daughter of the Su family, known for her alluring charm and who should have been an important member of Ye Chen's harem in the original work. But at this moment, the way she looked at Qin Xiao was devoid of any of the aloofness or scheming found in the original work. Instead, it was filled with undisguised infatuation and passion, as if she wanted to devour him whole.

Qin Xiao took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, the light of the [Negotiation Expert System] subtly flickering in his mind. He had to break free from this suffocating embrace first.

"Ahem... Miss Su, we..."

"Call me Wanying!" Su Wanying interrupted him impatiently, tightening her grip on his arm and her red lips almost touching his earlobe.

"You promised to pick me up yesterday, but you stood me up. You should be punished!"

Qin Xiao felt a headache coming on, and at the same time, his waist was gripped even tighter by those long, supple legs. He forced himself to calm down, using the guiding abilities granted by the [Negotiation Expert System], his tone gentle yet undeniably persuasive.

"Wanying, it was really my fault for not being able to pick you up yesterday."

"But there was a reason for it, and it was not a deliberate breach of promise."

He briefly recounted what had happened at the Gu family's home, cleverly shifting the main blame to Ye Chen, the security guard who "didn't understand the rules and was unreasonable," thus absolving himself of any responsibility.

Su Wanying's eyebrows furrowed and her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.

"What? There's such a clueless security guard who dares to block your way? And even dares to lay a hand on you?"

She loosened her legs from around Qin Xiao's waist, but still affectionately linked arms with his.

"I'll send someone to investigate and see who this blind fool is!"

She raised her pretty face, enough to drive any man crazy, her sparkling eyes fixed on Qin Xiao, her red lips pouting, with a hint of coquetry.

"However, since you've explained so sincerely, I'll forgive you!"

Before she could finish speaking, she tiptoed and lightly pecked Qin Xiao's cheek with her warm, soft lips. It was a fleeting peck, yet it carried an astonishing heat.

Qin Xiao's body stiffened slightly, a faint electric current spreading down his cheek. He subconsciously took half a step back, creating some distance, his brows furrowing slightly.

“Su Xiao… Wanying, men and women should not touch each other.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wanying not only didn't get angry, but instead giggled and swayed, her breasts heaving so much that it made one dizzy.

"My darling, are you shy?" She stepped forward, intimately linking her arm with Qin Xiao's again, pressing his strong arm tightly against her soft body, her breath sweet as orchids. "We're engaged, what's wrong with a kiss?"

Her eyes gleamed with a mischievous light.

"Besides, what part of your body haven't I seen?"

Qin Xiao was shocked. An engagement? When did that happen? And what did he mean by "I haven't seen every part of your body"? He frantically searched his memory, but it was all blank. This was a lot of information!

In the midst of this enchanting atmosphere, a chilling, bone-chilling killing intent burst forth from not far away, as if it were a tangible force!

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed. The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then, the killing intent surged forth like an erupting iceberg. He looked in the direction of the killing intent.

Not far from the manor entrance, a figure in a security guard uniform was staring intently at them. That familiar face was contorted with rage, his fists clenched, veins bulging, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible.
