"The country songs~~ Are forever our reliance~~"
"Come home~~ Back to the original beauty~~"
As the melodic voice filled the room, Su Fan's longing for his family only grew stronger.
Originally, his plan had been to avenge his family first, then return home to see his loved ones.
But now, he had changed his mind…
Even if he could only see them from afar, he wanted to return to the Su family.
To see his grandfather, his younger sister, and Aunt Liu...
Just as Su Fan came to this decision, Lin Xuan's song reached its final note.
With the song finished, He Yicheng and the others looked at him with admiration, and burst into enthusiastic applause.
"Xuan Bro, you're insane! I swear, I've never admired anyone this much!"
"This is practically indistinguishable from the original! Your voice is almost identical to [L]! How do you mimic him so well?"
"Yeah! It sounds amazing! If I didn't already know it was impossible, I'd almost believe you were [L] himself!"
"......"
Hearing the praise, Lin Xuan stepped down from the stage, smiling and waving in gratitude.
Then, he sat back down next to Su Fan.
"Su Bro, what do you think of my singing?"
"Any feedback?"
"It was alright."
Su Fan nodded, his response brief but genuine.
If his masters had been present, they would have been shocked—because for someone like Su Fan, this level of praise was already a big deal.
But to outsiders, his response seemed insincere.
The yellow-haired guy who had previously sung Cancer jumped up first, leading the peanut gallery in mocking Su Fan.
"Su Fan, you're being way too disrespectful! Xuan Bro sang so well, but you just give a lazy 'it was alright'?"
"Do you look down on our Xuan Bro? If you think you're so good, why don't you sing instead?!"
Lin Xuan: "...."
The hell?!
They're stirring up drama again?!
Can't I even have one moment of peace?!
Is this what they call the Protagonist's Taunt Aura™?
Or is it the Lowered IQ Aura™?!
With a cold snort, Lin Xuan raised his hand and slapped the back of Yellow-Hair's head.
"Enough! All of you, shut up (⊙x⊙;)! Is that how you talk to my brother, Su Fan?"
"Listen up—I hit it off with Su Bro the moment we met"
"I just asked him, and he's five years older than me—so from now on, he's my big brother!"
"If any of you dare insult my Su Bro again, I swear I'll cut ties with you all!"
Under Lin Xuan's intimidating gaze, everyone, though confused, didn't dare challenge him further.
Some even apologized to Su Fan.
Su Fan, however, didn't care.
Instead, he frowned slightly, looking Lin Xuan up and down, before suddenly asking: "Do you know me?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected that, compared to these brainless side characters, the protagonist himself would be this perceptive.
Looks like he had been too obvious in his approach, making Su Fan a bit suspicious.
But since this was his future brother-in-law asking, there was no need to panic.
"Oh, you misunderstood me, Su Bro. I didn't know you before."
"But your last name—it feels familiar to me. After all, my fiancée's last name is also Su!"
Wait, his fiancée's surname is also Su?
And just because of a shared surname, he was this affectionate toward him?
Just how much does this guy love his fiancée?!
Su Fan was genuinely stunned.
He hadn't expected Lin Xuan's level of devotion to be this extreme.
But he didn't think much of it.
After all, there were countless people with the surname Su in the world.
It wasn't something worth making a fuss over.
On the other hand, He Yicheng and the others finally had their lightbulb moment.
They had been confused this whole time—
Why was Lin Xuan, a rich heir, treating this broke guy so well?
Now, the truth was finally revealed!
And the reason was both ridiculous and deeply touching.
"All because he shares the same last name as Su Qingge… Xuan Bro is treating him so kindly?!"
This… This is true love!!!
"Xuan Bro… You're really…"
"I'M GONNA CRY!!!"
"Shanghai's Most Devoted Man™."
"He really is TOO DAMN DEVOTED!!!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes glistened with tears, moved by Lin Xuan's deep, unwavering love.
Lin Xuan: "(???(??? ;) Huh???"
What the hell is going on?!
I just said that casually, why are you all getting emotional?
Looking at the group, who were suddenly on the verge of tears,
Lin Xuan felt completely lost.
Meanwhile, Chen Kexin's expression grew complicated.
She had originally invited Lin Xuan here today to help her chase Su Fan away.
But now?
Not only did Lin Xuan not help her, he and Su Fan had become sworn brothers.
And the reason?
JUST BECAUSE SU FAN'S LAST NAME WAS ALSO SU.
How much does this guy love Su Qingge?!
I can't compete.
I really can't compete with Lin Xuan's love for my Big Wife.
Feeling dejected, Chen Kexin let out a sigh.
"It was supposed to be a three-person journey…"
"But I never got a name~~"
With that, she turned to Kong Lian with a pitiful look and said: "Kong Lian, I'm sad. Come to the bathroom with me."
"I need to go to the bathroom… and flush my sadness away~~~"
(⊙o⊙) Uh…
Though speechless,
Kong Lian and a few other girls still held hands with Chen Kexin, giggling as they left the private room.
Back in the private room.
Watching the girls disappear through the doorway, a mischievous smirk slowly formed on Lin Xuan's lips.
It's starting.
The part the readers have been waiting for…
The Main Character's Ultimate Face-Slapping Moment™.
At this moment—
The wheels of fate had already begun to turn…
…..
Starshine VIP Room.
Twice the size of the Diamond VIP room.
Seventeen or eighteen young, fashionable men and women were dancing wildly to the music, indulging in hedonistic pleasure.
On the small stage, a group of scantily-clad women in ancient costumes performed sensual dances for the young masters seated below.
Just then, one of the lead dancers raised her microphone and shouted: "Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"
"Tonight's bill is all on Young Master Zhao!"
"AHHHHH!!!"
A wave of ecstatic cheers erupted.
Everyone shouted "Young Master Zhao!!!," turning their gazes to the man sitting at the center of the VIP sofa.
A young man in a black suit, wearing a red tie, with a bowl-cut hairstyle.
He was Zhao Lei, son of Tiger Lord.
"Harry! Come here, be good."
Ignoring the various gazes around him,
Zhao Lei focused on playing with his teddy dog.
Not far from his sofa, a young man and woman were engaged in conversation.
"Cousin, look! That's Zhao Lei, Tiger Lord's son!"
"Dad came today mainly to discuss that high-interest loan deal with Tiger Lord."
The young man wore gold-rimmed glasses and a crisp white suit, his appearance gentle and refined.
The young woman, was dressed in a white princess dress, her pure white bow adorning her head.
Her innocent smile and flawless aura drew the attention of many men in the room.
They were cousins, Lin Hao and Bai Susu.
Tonight, they had tagged along with Lin Jianjun, out of curiosity, to witness the meeting with Tiger Lord.
Since the adults were negotiating business in the Royal VIP room, the "kids" had been sent to the Starshine VIP room instead…
