My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 172 - 172 172 Tenderness in the Cave

172: Chapter 172: Tenderness in the Cave 172: Chapter 172: Tenderness in the Cave “Su Xuan, watch out.” Bai Xue suddenly shouted from behind Su Xuan, only to see a person wielding a wrench, aiming a blow at Su Xuan’s head, attempting a sneak attack from behind.

Su Xuan twisted his body, dodging the wrench’s attack, then extended a leg and kicked the person with the wrench, who howled in pain.

Snap—the wrench fell to the ground, emitting a clear sound, and the person crumpled to the floor, curling up like a shrimp.

“Motherfucker.” The blond who Su Xuan had caught by the iron grille cursed, immediately dropping the grille and pulling a knife from his waist, stabbing towards Su Xuan.

Su Xuan neither dodged nor flinched, his left hand holding the iron grille while his right hand instantly seized the wrist of the blond with the knife.

Then, exerting just a little force, even though it was just a little, for someone who had consumed the Divine Power Gu like Su Xuan, this slight exertion was enough to break the bones and tendons of any ordinary person.

“Ah.” The blond let out a miserable scream.

Su Xuan then threw away the iron grille, his left hand made into a fist, swinging a punch to the blond’s face, and the blond’s right cheek caved in.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in the room, the blood containing a few teeth.

The remaining lackeys, after witnessing Su Xuan’s ferocity, were too scared to rush in blindly, standing in place with various tools, not knowing what to do!

Gou Dan also felt a chill in his heart upon seeing this scene, and to save his own life, he loudly shouted at the surrounding lackeys, “Go on, attack, beat him to death.”

However, the lackeys still refused to step forward.

One of them said, “Brother Gou Dan, I have something urgent at home, I have to leave!” Then he dropped the farm tool in his hand and ran away.

Seeing someone run away, the remaining lackeys felt an even greater fear and said they had emergencies at home too, dropping their things and fleeing.

In the end, only Gou Dan remained.

Upon seeing that he was alone, Gou Dan’s pants were suddenly soaked with fear.

He said to Su Xuan, “Brother Xuan, I just remembered that I have an emergency at home too, my mom is about to die, please let me go, I want to see her one last time.”

“Go, sure, fulfill your own promise, and you can leave at any time,” Su Xuan, staring at Gou Dan with his eyes, said, making Gou Dan shiver with fright.

“What promise?” At this moment, Gou Dan’s mind was a blank from fear, unable to recall the disgusting promise he had made before.

“Shit, wasn’t it what you said?” Su Xuan said, glaring at Gou Dan with piercing eyes.

Gou Dan’s face suddenly turned dark, not knowing what to do.

Bai Xue, standing on the side, said, “You don’t have to eat it, but from now on, you must stop bothering me.”

“Okay, okay, I promise you, I promise you.” At this moment, Gou Dan immediately felt that Bai Xue’s words were the most beautiful language in the world.

Although she had said it countless times before, only today did it feel the most comforting to him.

“Are you letting him off just like that?” Su Xuan asked Bai Xue.

“Let him go, after all, he is from the same town as us,” Bai Xue pleaded, but what she feared more was causing trouble for her father.

“Fine, then you stay here and bark like a dog, stop only when we have walked far away,” Su Xuan said to Gou Dan.

Gou Dan, upon hearing that Su Xuan was only making him bark like a dog, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude.

Then, Su Xuan and Bai Xue walked away amidst the sounds of the barking.

.

Su Xuan and Bai Xue walked on the road, with Bai Xue nestled in Su Xuan’s arms.

When they reached the side of a park, Bai Xue suddenly stopped and told Su Xuan she wanted to take a stroll in the park.

Su Xuan immediately agreed.

While embracing Bai Xue, he admired the scenery and felt very comfortable.

Bai Xue told Su Xuan that as a child, she often came to this park to play with her friends.

At that time, Gou Dan was particularly mean, often harassing them in the park, leading a group of rogues to take advantage of the young girls.

Su Xuan immediately asked, “Did they ever take advantage of you?”

Bai Xue gave Su Xuan a sidelong glance but still answered truthfully, “They didn’t dare to, my father was their homeroom teacher, and they were all afraid of him.”

Bai Xue also shared some stories, telling Su Xuan that once, when playing hide and seek with her friends, she had hidden so well, inside a small cave, that her friends couldn’t find her, and she had fallen asleep there after waiting for a long time.

As Bai Xue spoke, she leaned closer to Su Xuan, walking forward, oblivious to the changing weather.

However, suddenly the thunder roared, snapping the two out of their happiness, and soon raindrops began to fall, growing heavier by the minute.

Su Xuan and Bai Xue were drenched like drowned rats.

With Su Xuan, Bai Xue found the cave they used to hide in during games of hide and seek, and they took shelter from the rain inside.

As Su Xuan and Bai Xue watched the rain grow fiercer, with no sign of stopping, Bai Xue couldn’t help but start to worry.

Concerned that Bai Xue might catch a cold, Su Xuan took off his inner clothing and draped it over Bai Xue.

Bai Xue was touched and rested her head back on Su Xuan’s shoulder.

Just as the two were snuggling together for warmth, a little mouse suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling Bai Xue who screamed and threw herself into Su Xuan’s arms.

Seeing Bai Xue so frightened, Su Xuan instinctively embraced her to offer protection.

After a period of tenderness, the sound of the rain gradually lessened and soon stopped altogether.

The clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky,

Su Xuan helped Bai Xue tidy her clothes before they got up to head home.

Upon their return home, Bai Xue’s mother immediately came out to greet them with warm concern, while Bai Xue’s father still maintained a stern appearance.

“Are you really just a security guard?” Bai Xue’s father asked Su Xuan.

Su Xuan said, “Yes, is there something wrong with that?” Not the type to suppress others with his status, Su Xuan always preferred to win people’s respect and consent with his own abilities and merits alone.

“What’s your salary?

Do you own a house or a car?” Bai Xue’s father continued to inquire.

“A salary of two thousand, no house, no car.” Though Su Xuan did have both, he still disliked using these to satisfy Bai Xue’s father, because he wanted her father to be interested in him as a son-in-law, not in the glamour and possessions he owned.

Bai Xue’s father, seeing how forthright Su Xuan was, even unwilling to lie, became even angrier.

“You have nothing, what are you going to marry my daughter with?”

“I have myself, Su Xuan.

Handsome and capable,” Su Xuan said confidently, not caring in the slightest about Bai Xue’s father’s feelings.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue’s father did indeed become enraged and told Su Xuan, “Fine, since you claim to be so capable, I’ll give you three days.

In three days, it’s Bai Xue and Wang Chusheng’s engagement banquet.

If you can’t do something to satisfy me by then, get lost and stop meddling in the marriage affairs of Bai Xue and Wang Chusheng.”

“Dad, how can you be so tough on Su Xuan?

I’m telling you, the one I like is Su Xuan, not Wang Chusheng.

I won’t marry that rich second generation.

I hope you won’t force me,” Bai Xue said, upset at seeing her father giving Su Xuan a hard time and immediately speaking up for him.

“I am giving you a chance, aren’t I?

Let’s see how he takes it,” Bai Xue’s father turned away, well aware that his demands were excessive, but his intention was to make things difficult for Su Xuan, hoping he would give up knowing the challenge was too great.

“Hmph, what can be done in three days?

You’re clearly making things hard for Su Xuan.

Why don’t you ask that rogue to do it?” Bai Xue retorted angrily.

However, what Bai Xue didn’t expect was that her father, a teacher, had his argumentative skills honed to perfection.

He said to Bai Xue, “Wang Chusheng might not be satisfying, but his father is very impressive.

What does this poor guy have?

Can he give you happiness?

With no father and no capabilities of his own, how can I rest assured giving you to him?”

“Oh dear, just give a few more days, old man; you are indeed troubling him too much,” Bai Xue’s mother also came up to persuade Bai Xue’s father.

“Enough, all of you stop.

Three days, no more.

If he can do it, fine; if not, leave,” Bai Xue’s father stood up and said angrily.

“Fine, I accept your challenge.

I don’t need three days, two days will suffice,”

Su Xuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.

Though he didn’t know what he could offer to make Bai Xue’s father satisfied, deep down he had a confidence that made him feel capable of accomplishing anything.

“Alright, you said it yourself, two days then.

But let me tell you, young man, don’t be so arrogant.

Weigh your abilities before you speak.

I look down on boastful people with no real substance most of all,” Bai Xue’s father responded, furious inside that his three-day challenge had been shortened to two days by Su Xuan’s arrogance.

Nevertheless, Bai Xue, taken aback by what Su Xuan said, turned to him and asked, “What are you doing?

My dad gave you three days and you might not even manage that.

Why would you shorten it to two days?

Are you stupid, or do you simply not want to marry me?”

“Yes, young man, Bai Xue’s dad can’t stand others’ arrogance; by saying so, why provoke him?

It benefits neither of you,” Bai Xue’s mother added.

Su Xuan looked at Bai Xue, who was clearly anxious, patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, if I said I can do it, I’ll make it happen.”
