Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Xu Nanzhi’s scent?_1
"What will happen to my family after you leave?"
From within the yacht, Lin Chuxue lifted her head with difficulty to look at the cruise ship, worrying about her family.
"Their fate has nothing to do with me. I am here solely to save you," Su Chengyu said emotionlessly.
Lin Chuxue was left speechless. She knew Su Chengyu had long harbored resentment towards her family and dared not ask him to save them.
"Alright, don’t worry! The others on the cruise ship are ordinary people, not Yuan’s accomplice. They must have been killed by Yuan Chaoqun or Chen Zhonghan. Your family will be fine."
When Su Chengyu boarded the ship, he discovered that apart from the Yuan and Lin families, everyone else, including the chefs and waitresses they had brought aboard, were already dead.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxue finally relaxed, her grief, however, undeniable. Her grandfather and mother died right before her eyes, which was a heavy blow to her.
She would not have believed, if she hadn’t witnessed it herself, that the cultured and courteous Yuan Chaoqun could be so treacherous and ruthless.
Returning to the pier, Su Chengyu held Lin Chuxue in his arms and jumped onto the dock where several police cars’ lights were flashing.
Fang Qing was leading the team waiting at the pier. Seeing Su Chengyu carrying Lin Chuxue ashore, she walked over and asked, "Chuxue, how are you?"
After experiencing the cruise ship incident, Lin Chuxue’s temperament seemed to have changed a bit. Realizing the preciousness of true friends and family, she hugged Fang Qing tight and said, "My grandpa and mom... they are dead. Yuan Chaoqun killed them."
When Su Chengyu mentioned the Yuan family’s conspiracy over the phone, Fang Qing found it hard to believe.
Although she and Yuan Chaoqun were not friends, she had met him a few times and had a good impression of him. Even now, hearing about it from Lin Chuxue’s own mouth, Fang Qing was still surprised.
"The deceased have passed. Grieve properly. It’s a good thing Su Chengyu arrived just in time; otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable."
Fang Qing comforted Lin Chuxue and then asked Su Chengyu, "And the cruise ship?"
"It should dock soon. I will take her to get treated first. As for the situation on the ship, you can question the Lin family."
Su Chengyu took Lin Chuxue to his car and drove her back to Jade View Garden.
"Isn’t your sister at home?"
This was the first time Lin Chuxue had entered Su Chengyu’s home. Considering his wealth and status, living in a small two-bedroom apartment in this community did seem a bit out of place.
"She has been staying at school lately. Sit down, let me check on your injuries."
Lin Chuxue sat on the sofa. By the time Su Chengyu finished treating her wounds using his magical power, it was already close to midnight.
"I am sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things to you before. Now that I think about it, I was indeed foolish. I caused my grandfather and mother’s deaths."
With a look of self-blame on her face, Lin Chuxue turned to Su Chengyu, who simply replied, "It’s not about making mistakes; it’s about not repeating them. Remember, I will never harm you."
A touch of emotion welled up inside Lin Chuxue. This incident had indeed brought about a significant change in her.
"I trust you. I will never doubt you again." Lin Chuxue bit her lower lip and said.
"I will take you home."
However, Lin Chuxue didn’t move from the couch. She whispered, "Can I stay here tonight? I don’t feel like facing my family at this moment."
"Sure! Then you can stay in Xiaoxiao’s room." Su Chengyu nodded his agreement.
After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Chuxue pointed to Su Chengyu’s room and said, "I want to sleep in your room."
"Do you want to sleep with me?" Su Chengyu teased her.
"Of course not! I will sleep in your room; you can sleep on the couch!" Lin Chuxue blushed as she replied.
"Alright, I will clean the room. You can take a shower first."
Su Chengyu went into the room to tidy things a bit. After a while, Lin Chuxue emerged from the bathroom, draped in Su Chengyu’s towel, her wet long hair loosely draped over her bare shoulders showing her delicate clavicle and swan-like neck.
Su Chengyu sat on the couch, eyes closed, in a meditative pose, trying to reach a state of calm and emptiness.
Lin Chuxue entered Su Chengyu’s bedroom. The room wasn’t big, but it was very cozy, decorated meticulously by Su Xiaoxiao. This was the first time Lin Chuxue was sleeping in a man’s bed.
If this were before, she wouldn’t just feel disgusted by sleeping in a man’s bed but by his belongings as well. It would have been impossible for her to live under the same roof with a man.
She paced around the room before finally lying down under the covers, strangely unrepulsed by the underlying male scent.
Lin Chuxue’s nose twitched. She had a feeling that besides the scent of Su Chengyu, the quilt had a faint female fragrance, one she found vaguely familiar.
"Has there been another woman who has slept in this bed? Could it be Fang Qing? Or perhaps Liu Yan?"
Given her acute sense of smell, Lin Chuxue was sure this was a woman’s scent. She lifted the quilt and sniffed again.
"No that’s not right! This isn’t Fang Qing’s scent. Nor does it smell like Liu Yan’s perfume. Why do I find it so familiar?"
Lin Chuxue could confirm that Fang Qing and Liu Yan were both fond of Su Chengyu, and their relationship was ambiguous. If any woman had slept in Su Chengyu’s bed, it had to be Fang Qing or Liu Yan, or his sister Xiaoxiao. But she wasn’t familiar with Xiaoxiao’s scent.
An unsolvable mystery kept her awake all night, making her probe more keenly until a moment of epiphany hit her.
"Xu Nanzhi! Yes, this is Xu Nanzhi’s scent."
Lin Chuxue was very familiar with Xu Nanzhi’s scent, which was quite different from others. It’s just that she hadn’t seen Xu Nanzhi for quite some time, which made it hard for her to recognize it at first.
"Why does Xu Nanzhi’s scent linger on Su Chengyu’s bed? Could there be something going on between them? No...it can’t be possible! Xu Nanzhi is Hong Zhen Ting’s woman."
As she pondered, Lin Chuxue felt something was off. If it had been her old self, she would have confronted Su Chengyu immediately. But the cruise ship incident had helped her let go of some of her inhibitions. Even though they had slept together before, she wasn’t his girlfriend now and had no right to question him. She tossed and turned on the bed but couldn’t sleep.
After she finally fell asleep, Lin Chuxue was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, she saw her grandfather and mother, covered in blood, accusing her of leading to the downfall of the Lin family and their deaths.
Lin Chuxue woke up with a scream.
"Don’t be afraid."
Su Chengyu was sitting by the bed, comforting her.
Lin Chuxue sat up, clung tightly to Su Chengyu, and sobbed. "I dreamt of my grandpa and mother. They blamed me. They blamed me for the downfall of our family and their deaths."
