Lin Wanfu looked at Su Che with leisurely composure. “What does your discomfort have to do with me? Let go…”
Before she could finish speaking, Su Che pulled her onto the bed. As if afraid she would leave, he held her tightly in his arms.
“Be good, listen to me. Let me hold you, and I’ll give you money—more money than you could ever spend.”
Due to his persistent high fever, Su Che had completely lost his basic reasoning ability. Instinctively, he used what he considered most important to keep Lin Wanfu by his side.
Not only was she cool all over, but she was also soft and pliant. Holding her was far more comfortable than using a cooling patch.
“Who cares about your money? Let go of me now!”
Lin Wanfu tried to break free from Su Che’s embrace, but his strength was too great, and she couldn’t escape.
Besides, she hadn’t truly intended to break free in the first place.
Su Che buried his face in the crook of Lin Wanfu’s neck, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance. “Why don’t you want money? Money is the best thing in the world. How could you despise it?”
He couldn’t understand how anyone could resist the allure of money—the very thing that could make even ghosts do their bidding!
“Because I don’t love money.”
Of course, this was a lie to Su Che. Lin Wanfu not only loved money but also loved taking other people’s money for herself.
Still unwilling to give up, Su Che tried to tempt her again. “I’ll tell you a secret. My family has a basement filled with gold notes and gold bricks. If you just let me hold you quietly, I’ll take you to see the mountain of gold and let you lie on it for ten minutes—no, fifteen minutes. That’s the most I can offer.”
Lin Wanfu couldn’t help but laugh at Su Che’s words. “Aren’t you afraid I might have a boyfriend, holding me like this?”
She hadn’t expected it.
In reality, Su Che turned out to be a complete money fanatic, nothing like the aloof persona rumored online.
“Boyfriend?” Su Che’s mind went blank for a moment before he spoke with righteous indignation. “Then, would you mind having one more boyfriend? I’m very rich. I don’t mind using my money to support you and your boyfriend.”
Lin Wanfu suddenly leaned close to Su Che’s ear, her red lips brushing against his earlobe as she whispered softly, “But I have many, many boyfriends. Can you afford to support them all by yourself?”
Su Che was clearly a very successful businessman. Even in his fever-induced delirium, he didn’t forget to bargain. “Then, could you abandon a few of those boyfriends?”
Lin Wanfu’s hand slid up to Su Che’s chest. “Each of them is wonderful. Who should I abandon?”
“Stop touching me like that. I’m getting even hotter.” Su Che frowned unhappily and grasped Lin Wanfu’s soft, boneless hand, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.
He had initially been relieved to have finally found a good cooling tool, but as Lin Wanfu’s legs and hands occasionally brushed against him, he began to feel increasingly uneasy.
“Then let go of me and let me get up!” Lin Wanfu immediately seized the opportunity to press her point.
Without a second thought, Su Che pinned the struggling Lin Wanfu to the bed, rendering her immobile.
“If you keep moving around, I’ll have to tie you up with something. Be good. I don’t want to do that to you.”
As soon as Su Yu pushed open the door, the scene that greeted him was his usually honest and upright older brother pinning Lin Wanfu to the bed like a beast.
Moreover, his brother had even brazenly threatened to play with bondage!
Su Yu was instantly terrified, his vision darkening and his mind reeling, nearly losing his soul on the spot.
Holy shit.
His brother, a minor character whose total screen time in the book didn’t even span a full chapter, actually dared to covet the woman of both the male lead and the villain.Damn it, he doesn’t want to die—he still wants to live a few more days!
Thinking of this, Su Yu could no longer care about anything else. He grabbed the bedside lamp and smashed it against the back of Su Che’s head. “Bro, have you lost your mind? Can’t you snap out of it?”
He had waited on the second floor for a long time but never saw Lin Wanfu come downstairs, so he had no choice but to go up and look for her.
He searched all along the corridor, checking every room except his brother Su Che’s, but he still couldn’t find any trace of Lin Wanfu.
Originally, he hadn’t expected to find her in Su Che’s room, since in the plot, his brother had never met Lin Wanfu and had no connection with her at all.
But he still decided to check inside.
Who would have thought that not only was Lin Wanfu in his brother’s room, but she was also almost forced into a compromising situation by him.
Seriously, he couldn’t understand why every man in this book seemed to lose their IQ the moment they laid eyes on the villainess and wanted to do this and that to her.
If he hadn’t been absolutely sure before transmigrating that he was reading a serious male-oriented wealthy family novel, he would have suspected he’d ended up in some kind of explicit story.
Suddenly struck on the head, Su Che’s pain brought him back to his senses. He raised his hand, dazedly touching the back of his head, and sure enough, he felt blood.
“Xiao Yu? Why did you hit me?” Su Che turned around, looking at Su Yu standing by the bed with confusion and grievance.
He couldn’t understand what he had done wrong to make his usually obedient and sensible younger brother hit him.
“You still have the nerve to ask?! Look at the mess you’ve made. Of all the things to learn, you had to pick forced love? Can’t you open your eyes and see—is she someone you can touch?”
Su Yu threw the lamp aside, pushed Su Che away, and then pulled Lin Wanfu up from the bed.
Only after confirming that Lin Wanfu’s dress was still intact did he let out a slight sigh of relief.
What a headache—he still had to figure out a way to make sure Lin Wanfu didn’t spill the beans about this.
Otherwise, if the male lead and the villain found out, the Su family’s future would be over in an instant.
He could even imagine the male lead’s line: “The weather’s getting cold; it’s time for the Su family to go bankrupt.”
Perfect.
Absolutely perfect—so perfect he was about to lose his mind.
After finally transmigrating into a book and becoming a wealthy young master, he thought he could live a comfortable, carefree life.
He never expected to be stabbed in the back by his own cheap brother. Of all people, Su Che had to set his sights on the male lead’s precious darling.
Tell me, which character in any book who competes with the male lead for a woman ever ends up well?
And he clearly remembered that in the book, the villain Shen Huaijin ended up dying the most tragic death—burning to death in a fire—precisely because he competed with the male lead for the villainess.
“Hmph, I’m not done with you two about what happened today!”
Lin Wanfu fanned the flames from the side, pretending to be upset on the surface, but in reality, she found the Su brothers utterly amusing.
“Forced love? Me?” Su Che looked bewildered, his mind clearly not yet back to its usual sharpness. “I wasn’t forcing anything. I was going to give her money.”
To Su Yu, these words sounded like Su Che wanted to take advantage of the Lin family’s bankruptcy to keep Lin Wanfu as his mistress.
With a stiff expression, he picked up the lamp he had thrown aside again. “From the sound of it, you still want to hide her away in a golden cage?”
Su Che thought for a moment and replied, “I do have a golden cage. Hiding her there doesn’t seem like a bad idea.”He really enjoyed holding Lin Wanfu. If she was willing to let him hold her to sleep every day, then he could reluctantly agree to let her live in his golden house.
Lin Wanfu looked at Su Yu and Su Che, who were clearly not on the same wavelength, and almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
“Brother, are you deliberately trying to piss me off?” Su Yu’s hand holding the lamp trembled uncontrollably—out of anger.
In the end,
he still patiently added, “I don’t care what’s going on in your head, but you are not allowed to think about this woman, or don’t blame me for turning against you!”
He had said everything he could, good and bad. If his brother continued to be stubborn, then he wouldn’t hesitate to do what was necessary.
Su Che frowned slightly. “Xiao Yu, I can give you anything else, but she makes me very comfortable. I really like her. You can’t take her from me.”
Su Yu: “…”
What kind of outrageous words were these? And just how far had things progressed between them?
Just then, Shen Huaijin’s gentle and lingering voice suddenly came from the hallway. “Fufu, where are you? Can you hear me? It’s time for us to go home.”
Shen Huaijin’s voice was undeniably pleasant, but it sent a cold sweat down Su Yu’s spine.
He inexplicably felt as though his doom was approaching.
