Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 232: Is Lin Xiaowan moving out?

Su Lin hadn’t expected Li Ziyu to open her heart to him because of this incident. He was genuinely grateful to Li Weifeng; if it hadn’t been for his aggressive tactics trying to turn Li Ziyu completely dark, she might not have let her guard down, and it wouldn’t have been so easy for Su Lin to make her open up.

It’s important to understand that Li Ziyu is not like other women, especially knowing he has a girlfriend, she, being proud by nature, would always suppress her feelings and not act impulsively, even though her heart favored Su Lin. Who could have known Li Weifeng would play this card?

Feeling the warmth of the beautiful woman in his arms, Su Lin chuckled, “Aren’t you going to see him?”

Li Ziyu hugged Su Lin tightly and replied, “No, I’ll have someone send him away later.”

“Okay.”

After a long while, Li Ziyu finally let go of Su Lin. She looked at him, puzzled, and asked, “How did you get here?”

Su Lin pinched Li Ziyu’s cute face and smiled, “Of course, I felt that you needed me, so I came.”

Li Ziyu just looked at him silently.

“Cough cough… actually, Ruoxi told me that you’ve been swamped with family affairs these days, so I thought you might need my help,” Su Lin explained.

Li Ziyu’s tone suddenly carried a hint of emotion, “You’ve been in contact with Ruoxi quite frequently recently, huh?”

Su Lin laughed, “Not really, it’s just that Xiao Feiyu was causing trouble again. Ruoxi felt she had dragged me into it, so she wanted to apologize.”

Seeing Su Lin’s nervous look, Li Ziyu suddenly burst out laughing, “You, don’t be so nervous. Since I’ve made my choice, I won’t regret it. As for Ruoxi, if she likes you and you don’t dislike her, it’s not entirely impossible.”

“Cough cough cough… Ziyu, your change of attitude is quite drastic,” Su Lin said somewhat awkwardly, touching his nose.

“Hehe, just kidding with you, I really don’t want to meddle in your private affairs.”

Su Lin noticed that Li Ziyu’s emotions had become more varied now; she seemed to have let her guard down completely around him, showing a sweet and playful side that reminded Su Lin of a youthful girl.

Su Lin touched Li Ziyu’s head and said, “Ziyu, these years must have been very tiring for you.”

“Not tiring, but I had to grow up early due to my parents’ neglect.”

“Speaking of which, people often confuse me with Xiaoyue. Actually, I envy her. We both come from similar backgrounds; she is the Qin family’s princess, treasured and pampered by everyone, while I had to be strong and independent.”

“Don’t worry, you have me now.”

“Mmm~!!” Li Ziyu led Su Lin to her room in the Li family estate. Her room wasn’t as antique and elegant as Qin Jiuyue’s; aside from a dressing table and a wardrobe, there was only a bed, making the room seem empty and simple.

“This is my room. What do you think? Disappointed? There’s nothing here,” Li Ziyu said with a teasing smile.

Su Lin scratched his head, “Disappointed? I’m not disappointed at all.”

“You say one thing but mean another. I noticed your eyes were looking around for something. After several looks around and finding nothing, you just looked at me.”

“Ziyu, your observation skills are too strong, try not to be so observant from now on.”

“Hehe…” Li Ziyu wrapped her arms around Su Lin’s neck and fell back, “I’m a bit tired and want to rest. Will you stay with me?”

Su Lin looked at Li Ziyu, wanting to say it was almost time for dinner. Before Su Lin could speak, Li Ziyu had already pulled the blanket over them.

While he was asleep he was awakened by a call from Lin Xiaowan.

When Su Lin left the Li household, it had already turned completely dark. Thinking of Li Ziyu, Su Lin couldn’t help but admire her for being a woman who dared to love and hate.

When he got home, the girls were already having dinner.

Seeing Su Lin return, Lin Xiaowan instinctively asked, “Su Lin, where have you been? Why are you back so late?”

“I was at Ziyu’s place,” Su Lin replied.

Su Lin was always open about his affairs and saw no need to hide them, so he spoke frankly.

“Did something happen to Sister Ziyu?” Lin Xiaowan asked anxiously.

There had been an incident with Xiao Feiyu causing trouble earlier that day, and she was worried that Li Ziyu might also have been affected.

Su Lin shook his head, “No… just a little incident.”

“Su Lin, you’ve been acting strange today. Haven’t had dinner yet?”

“Uh… not yet.”

“Then let’s eat together.”

“Okay.”

Su Lin moved to sit down, and Lin Xiaowan sniffed, suddenly giving Su Lin a strange look.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Su Lin whispered.

Although he spoke softly, Xia Shiyu and Qin Jiuyue’s ears were very sharp, and they also looked at Su Lin. Su Lin was indeed acting strangely today.

Lin Xiaowan glanced at Su Lin then said, “If I hadn’t called you, you probably would have stayed the night there.”

“Let’s eat, eat.”

“Hmph, I saw the scratch marks on you, no need to hide them,” Lin Xiaowan said with a glare.

Su Lin quickly looked down at his chest, indeed finding several red marks from Li Ziyu’s scratches.

He awkwardly chuckled, “Actually, about that…”

“That’s enough, no need to explain. We’ve already accepted what’s going on between you and Sister Ziyu; it was just a matter of time. Don’t come to me tonight.”

“Nor to me.”

Xia Shiyu was slightly more tactful as she said to Su Lin, “You should rest well tonight.”

“Uh… okay.” Su Lin smiled helplessly but agreed with their approach.

“Su Lin, when are you going to bring Sister Ziyu over to the villa?”

Su Lin shook his head, “No need to bring her over; Ziyu still has to manage the huge Li family. What’s she going to do here?”

“Uh~! Makes sense, I was just thinking one day our house would turn into a kingdom of daughters.”

Su Lin shook his head, “How could that be? I’m not that kind of person.”

Lin Xiaowan smiled faintly, then added, “But Su Lin, I have to remind you, I’m moving out when school starts.”

“Huh? Why?” Su Lin asked, puzzled.

Goodness, Lin Xiaowan moving out? How could that be? He was sure it wasn’t an issue of feelings, so it must be something to do with her family.

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin, “My dad’s job here is about to start officially, and they’ve assigned housing for families. Dad said he wouldn’t bother me before school starts, but I have to move back once it does.”

“Is there… no room for negotiation?” Su Lin asked uncomfortably.

“What do you think?” Lin Xiaowan gave Su Lin a look.

“Cough cough… well, at the dinner party tomorrow night, I’ll try to persuade father-in-law.”

Lin Xiaowan watched Su Lin as if watching a drama, “I’m looking forward to your performance tomorrow night. I bet my dad is going to beat you up.”

“Heh! He’s going to beat me up?”

“What, are you going to fight my dad?” Lin Xiaowan asked, a bit angry.

“How could that be? Don’t worry, father-in-law won’t beat me up. He’s already accepted me, why would he do that?”

“Anyway, you won’t be able to convince him. I have to go back by the end of this month; he said he would come to pick me up himself.”

Su Lin: “…”

If you asked who Su Lin’s favorite among the women was, it was undoubtedly Lin Xiaowan. Even though Lin Xiaowan occasionally got a bit temperamental, Su Lin’s affection for her hadn’t diminished at all.

Because he thought that was what made Lin Xiaowan the cutest. Now suddenly hearing that she wanted to move out, how could that be?

Su Lin said lightly, “I’ll definitely persuade your dad.” His tone was gentle yet certain.

Lin Xiaowan, no longer displaying her little haughty attitude, nodded, “I don’t want to leave you either. Hang in there!!!”

Her feelings for Su Lin were also very deep. How could she willingly just move back?
