Psst! We're moving!
The news of the Dong family’s young miss being found spread quickly throughout Starlight Entertainment.
Tang Zi felt as if she were dreaming. The artist she managed might become the future boss! As a result, Tang Zi had been walking on air these past few days.
After Su Ling returned to the Dong family, Old Master Dong was very open-minded and didn’t ask her to change her name or anything. After all, the Dong family didn’t need Su Ling to shoulder any responsibilities—those would fall to her older cousins if anyone.
Their daughter was meant to enjoy life and be happy.
After spending a few days with Old Master Dong, Su Ling grew to like this newfound relative.
He was broad-minded, knowledgeable, serious in handling affairs, and treated his long-lost granddaughter like a precious gem, cherishing her deeply.
When Su Ling came downstairs, the old master was sitting with Dong Xu, happily watching Prisoner, the movie starring Su Ling.
The director was the old master’s grandson, and the lead actress was his beloved granddaughter. No matter how he looked at it, the movie was incredibly satisfying. The old man said, “We must shoot a sequel!”
However, when he saw Zheng Xiaoya’s excellent performance in the film, there was a faint trace of sorrow in the old master’s eyes.
Dong Xu’s face remained cold. “Grandfather, don’t make trouble. Leaving some suspense is enough. If we shoot a sequel, it’ll be hard to surpass the first one, and it could ruin our reputation.”
The old master glared. “And here I thought you were some young genius director. You’re afraid to challenge your own work? Maybe it’s time to pass that title to someone else!”
Dong Xu was stubborn by nature. Hearing this, he fell silent and refused to budge.
“Grandfather?” Su Ling called softly.
The old master immediately brightened up. “Lingling, come quickly! I’m discussing the sequel of Prisoner with your brother.”
“Grandfather, I haven’t agreed yet!”
Su Ling smiled. “Yes, Grandfather. Ending the first part like that was already perfect. If we shoot a sequel, it might ruin the original feeling.”
Dong Xu glanced at Su Ling but said nothing.
The old master finally accepted this reasoning and stopped insisting on shooting a sequel.
Now, the Dong family’s old residence was occupied by the old master and Su Ling. After dinner, Dong Xu left.
“What did your brother come for?”
The old master’s eyes twinkled. “Just to see me. Lingling, sign this.”
When Su Ling saw it, she quickly shook her head. “I can’t accept this. Starlight Entertainment is your life’s work…”
“That’s why it’s perfect for you. Anyway, in the entire entertainment industry, only you and Dong Xu are there. Consider it your dowry from Grandfather.”
For some reason, the old master was unusually insistent about this.
Su Ling was frightened by the old man’s stern expression for several days and reluctantly signed the transfer document.
The old master finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Dong Xu had come to discuss the previous incident where Su Ling was blacklisted. Dong Xu calmly stated, “It’s easy to find out who blacklisted her—it was Qing Yu who released the news. Grandfather, Qin Xiao blacklisted Lingling once.”
The old master’s temples throbbed with anger, and he immediately regretted his decision.
That bastard Qin Xiao! No wonder his reputation in B City wasn’t good.
This arrogant madman—Lingling absolutely couldn’t be with him!
Dong Xu calmly left, smirking inwardly. If he didn’t give Qin Xiao a taste of his medicine, he’d have failed as Su Ling’s “half-brother.”
Then Su Ling was surprised to discover that since taking over Starlight Entertainment and preparing for her new drama, she hadn’t seen Qin Xiao at all.
The old master sent people to pick her up on time and delivered her to the company or set on schedule.
For an entire month, she hadn’t heard any news about Qin Xiao.
Su Ling found it strange.
“Grandfather.” She hesitated, feeling something was off but not knowing how to ask. “Since Qin Xiao brought me back, I haven’t seen him again. Did something happen to him?”
The old master immediately became indignant. “He’s fine! The Qin family is thriving, and he even snatched the land in the West District… Damn that bastard! He said he’d give everything to Lingling, but before that, how ruthless his methods were!”
“Lingling, men aren’t good things, especially someone like Qin Xiao. Look at his bad reputation. He’s probably fallen for another girl. Forget about him! Tomorrow, I’ll arrange a banquet for you. There are plenty of talented young men in B City. We’ll find a good one.”
Su Ling pursed her lips, trying not to laugh.
Even if Grandfather wanted to arrange such a banquet, no one would dare come.
Qin Xiao was so domineering. When he personally brought her back to the Dong family, he drew a clear line that no one dared cross.
True enough, the old master couldn’t find anyone. The young men in B City were scared stiff.
That night, after Su Ling had just finished bathing and was about to sleep, the floor-to-ceiling window was wide open. Moonlight poured in like silver silk, and a man climbed in with a cold expression.
She was startled by the sound and was about to call for help.
He moved faster, covering her lips. “It’s me.”
She blinked. Qin Xiao?
Qin Xiao didn’t speak. He held her tightly and gently bit her shoulder.
He couldn’t bear to bite hard—it was light, almost teasing.
Su Ling was both afraid and embarrassed. He embraced her waist from behind. She couldn’t see his expression. “Qin Xiao, what’s wrong?”
Why climb through the window in the middle of the night instead of using the door?
He was angry and frustrated, wanting to devour this heartless little thing. His hand roamed upward and discovered she wasn’t wearing a bra…
The next moment, Su Ling’s face turned beet red. “Qin Xiao, don’t…”
He chuckled softly and moved his hand away.
“No touching? No squeezing? Or no pinching?”
She was utterly exasperated!
She stomped on his foot. He didn’t make a sound, just clicked his tongue lightly and kissed her behind the ear.
Afraid that Su Ling might get truly upset, Qin Xiao released her.
Time to settle accounts.
“Thirty-two days and eight hours. All I got was news that Miss Su was going on blind dates.”
He gently stroked her cheek. “You avoided me, your phone number became invalid, and Old Master Dong said he’d give me a month to prove myself. But in the end, he reneged. Was playing with me fun?”
His fingers caressed her lips, his voice low and hoarse. “I’m very angry.”
On that day, Old Master Dong told him to go back and show sincerity, sort out the messy family relations, and clean up his reputation.
If he wanted to marry Su Ling, he couldn’t remain so rough around the edges.
A month was given to fix everything, to show the old master his resolve, so he could trust him with his granddaughter. During this month, he wasn’t allowed to see Su Ling. Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes and finally agreed.
Being able to spend a lifetime with her was an irresistible temptation he could never resist.
Some people believed in his love, like the candy Xiao Han gave him—a tiny beacon of hope.
Qin Xiao endured for a month, nearly driven mad with frustration and longing for her.
After thirty days passed, he couldn’t contact her.
Qin Xiao’s heart sank. He knew the old master had gone back on his word.
Without saying much, he directly climbed over the fence of the Dong family estate to see her.
He wanted to know—was this Su Ling’s idea or Old Master Dong’s?
If it was her idea…
Su Ling was stunned for a while, realizing what Grandfather had done. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Xiao looked much more haggard. Her room was lit by a warm yellow lamp, softening her delicate features. She took his hand, her voice sweet and tender. “Grandfather is old but has the heart of a child. Don’t hold it against him, okay?”
Damn, that tone… he had no resistance whatsoever. “Alright.”
“Grandfather said you snatched his land in the West District.”
“Hmm, I was angry the day before yesterday. Shall I return it to him tomorrow?”
She couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t mean it like that. If you oppose him, he’ll only get angrier.”
He gently pinched her chin. “I’m angry too. Why don’t I see you pitying me?”
Her eyes curved into crescents, her smile impossibly sweet. “Qin Xiao.”
“Hmm?”
She hesitated, then gently wrapped her arms around his waist. She didn’t dare press too close, lightly resting her cheek against his chest.
The man’s waist was lean and strong.
She blushed slightly, her voice soft and sticky. “Don’t be angry anymore. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of Grandfather.” After all, Grandfather had played with him for a whole month.
His body stiffened. After a moment, his pupils were as dark as ink, and his heart was filled with sweetness. “Alright.”
At this point, he didn’t care what she was saying.
Only now did he understand why absurd and foolish acts like “burning beacon towers to fool feudal lords” existed. Being utterly bewitched, he didn’t care about being toyed with, let alone anything else.
“Are you not angry anymore?”
“Hmm.”
Then he wouldn’t hug her.
She let go of her embrace. “Qin Xiao, go home. Grandfather won’t like seeing you here. I… I’ll come find you tomorrow, okay?”
He didn’t respond, silently refusing.
Leave?
He had already come this far, and besides, climbing in meant avoiding surveillance…
The next moment, Qin Xiao grabbed her wrist.
The moon shone brightly like silver, casting its glow across the floor. At the end of September, summer was fading into autumn. A few stars still twinkled in the sky.
He pressed her against the floor-to-ceiling window, forcing her to tilt her head and accept his kiss.
When Old Master Dong stormed in with his men, they were met with this scene.
The tall figure of the man almost completely concealed his granddaughter’s body.
A dominant, semi-forced kiss.
Old Master Dong nearly fainted from anger. He glared, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Su Ling heard the commotion and, in that instant, wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. Qin Xiao shifted his lips from hers, lightly kissing her lips with tenderness. He didn’t release her, holding her protectively in his arms—he remembered clearly that the delicate body in his arms wasn’t wearing a bra. No one was allowed to look.
The old master was infuriated by this bastard’s “arrogance,” his vision swimming with rage.
Regardless of whether he was the head of the Qin family, Old Master Dong struck him fiercely with his cane.
Unforgivable! Utterly unforgivable!
The dull thud echoed, but Qin Xiao didn’t even flinch.
This man was truly tough, as if he felt no pain.
Su Ling trembled in his arms at the sound and quickly pleaded, “Grandfather! Please don’t hit him.”
Qin Xiao curved his lips. He was fearless, and at this moment, he lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.
Su Ling was both shy and angry, nearly frightened to death by this rascal Qin Xiao.
Her wet eyes looked up at him. He chuckled softly. “Alright.”
Will you listen to you if I behave? Lord obedient.
