Bai Susu's Despair! The Arrival of the White Knight?

Inside the Xingyao VIP Room.

Bai Susu's beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity as she examined the luxurious surroundings of the private room.

She had been wandering around when she happened to run into Lin Hao and his father.

When she heard they were coming to meet "Tiger Lord," she thought she'd tag along to see this legendary figure for herself.

However, instead of meeting the bigshot, she and Lin Hao were simply placed in the Xingyao VIP room.

But since she was already here, she decided to just treat it as a chance to broaden her horizons.

Suddenly.

Lin Hao's eager suggestion rang in her ear.

"Cousin, how about we go say hi to Zhao Lei?"

"If we can befriend him, it would be a great connection for our family!"

It sounded like a suggestion, but Lin Hao had already stood up, his eyes burning with ambition.

Ever since Lin Jianjun had fully taken control of the Lin Corporation.

And brought him into the company, publicly declaring him as the future heir of the Lin Group...

He had been riding high these days.

Those in his social circle and workplace who once looked down on him for being an illegitimate child.

Now all respectfully called him "Young Master Lin," and no one dared to slight him anymore.

The only downside was that in order to scrape together that damn 3.5 billion.

They had nearly emptied their savings, leaving him stuck living in employee housing for now.

But fortunately...

This was only temporary—the Beauty Cream was selling like crazy.

In just a few days, sales had already surpassed 500 million.

Half of Magic City was using their product, and the numbers were still rising.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the Lin family became a first-tier family—maybe even more, if they were ambitious enough...

One day.

I will become the top young master of Magic City, looking down on everyone.

Lin Hao scratched his itching cheek, his eyes filled with a longing for power and status.

And right now.

He needed to establish a few powerful connections to pave the way for his rise.

Then, he pulled Bai Susu along and approached Zhao Lei, who was surrounded by admirers, bowing slightly in a flattering manner.

"Young Master Zhao, I'm Lin Hao."

"This is my cousin Bai Susu—she's one of the most famous beauties in Magic City."

Lin Hao knew that just introducing himself wouldn't be enough to catch Zhao Lei's interest.

But adding his cousin into the mix was different.

After all, what man in this world doesn't like beautiful women?!

Sure enough.

Zhao Lei, who had been teasing his little teddy dog, finally looked up with interest.

"Oh, Lin Hao!"

Although he said Lin Hao's name, his eyes never left Bai Susu.

Lin Hao was overjoyed and quickly nudged his cousin.

"Cousin, hurry up and greet Young Master Zhao."

"Oh, hello, Young Master Zhao. (*′▽｀)ノノ"

Bai Susu didn't think much of it and greeted him cheerfully.

Her pure, innocent eyes and first-love-like smile instantly made the men present feel heated.

Even Zhao Lei, who usually only liked lolis, couldn't help but feel a momentary attraction.

To be honest.

In terms of looks and figure, Bai Susu wasn't the most stunning in the world.

But her innocent and pure aura, like an untainted white lotus, had a deadly allure to men.

A blank canvas like this.

What man wouldn't want to take her in, slowly mold her, and make her completely his…

Zhao Lei had already made up his mind.

He first introduced Lin Hao to the friends beside him with a warm smile.

"Young Master Dong, hello."

"Boss Li, nice to meet you, I'm Lin Hao."

"......"

Lin Hao was overjoyed. Of course, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to establish connections, eagerly mingling with these wealthy and influential figures.

After Lin Hao had chatted enough, Zhao Lei casually brought up a topic as if it were unintentional: "Xiao Hao, your cousin and I hit it off immediately."

"I'd like to take some time tonight to have a deep talk with her about life. What do you think?"

Damn.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Hao knew trouble was brewing.

He wasn't stupid—of course, he understood the hidden meaning behind Zhao Lei's words.

Before he could come up with a response, Bai Susu spoke up in confusion:

"Young Master Zhao, what do you want to talk about? I can chat with you now! Why wait until tonight?"

As soon as she said that.

Forget Zhao Lei and the others—Lin Hao was the first to be completely dumbfounded.

Oh, cousin, cousin!

Do you have to be this naïve?!

Do you really think he just wants to chat with you in the middle of the night...?

"Because we'll be talking for a long time—it might go on all night."

"All night? Then forget it, Young Master Zhao! (??????)?? I have to sleep before 10:30—early to bed, early to rise is good for my skin."

Hearing that Zhao Lei wanted to chat all night, Bai Susu waved her hands repeatedly, shaking her head.

She never used makeup, yet her skin remained smooth and radiant. Her secret? Early sleep and early rising.

For her, staying up all night was too harmful to both her skin and health.

Even though her family had been using Beauty Cream recently, and everyone's skin did look noticeably better.

Bai Susu still refused to use any chemical products, sticking strictly to her health regimen for skincare.

Of course, Lin Xuan's past advice played a part as well—it had always lingered in Bai Susu's mind...

Meanwhile, Lin Hao and the others were completely stunned.

No one expected Bai Susu to reject Zhao Lei's "kind offer" with such a silly excuse.

Then, in an attempt to appease Zhao Lei, his wealthy friends started persuading her...

"Young lady, think carefully. Getting close to Young Master Zhao would bring great benefits to your Bai family."

"Susu! Opportunities like this don't come often! You must learn to seize the moment. Young Master Zhao's attention is rare!"

"Countless women in Magic City would do anything to climb into Young Master Zhao's bed..."

"Little sister, that's just how the world works. We women only need to give up something insignificant, and we gain unimaginable benefits—why not?"

"....."

Faced with the persuasion of the wealthy young heirs present, Bai Susu was completely confused.

What on earth are these guys talking about? (⊙_⊙)???

I just simply want to go to bed early?!

Why are they dragging me into all this nonsense, making it even more ridiculous?!

Looking at Bai Susu's clueless and innocent face, Zhao Lei suddenly burst into laughter.

He originally thought Bai Susu was playing hard to get.

But after observing her for a moment, using the sharp instincts he had honed over the years...

Alright!

She might actually be a naïve, innocent fool—the kind that is nearly extinct.

Faced with such a rare and completely clueless woman, Zhao Lei's excitement surged instantly—he couldn't wait any longer...

"Interesting. Take this woman to the small room."

"Since she wants to sleep early tonight, I'll have a little talk with her about life right now."

Zhao Lei licked his lips, grinning lecherously as he ordered his men to take action.

After all, the Bai family was just a third-rate small family—if anything happened, his father could easily cover it up.

At this moment.

Zhao Lei felt incredibly proud that his father was Tiger Lord, backed by the elite Han family.

That was why he could act recklessly in Magic City, abusing his power without consequences.

Following his orders.

A few thuggish-looking underlings, dressed like street hooligans, lazily surrounded the cousins.

Seeing this.

Lin Hao's face turned pale—he knew the situation was out of control, and his cousin might not make it through today.

Regret instantly filled his heart.

If he had known, he wouldn't have proactively provoked Zhao Lei.

But who could have imagined that this guy was so crazy, attempting to force himself on her in public?

"Young Master Zhao, calm down! My cousin is still just a kid!"

Lin Hao stood in front of his cousin, shouting desperately.

But the moment one of the thugs barely touched him...

Lin Hao flew backward as if struck by a martial arts master, instantly falling to the ground in a practiced faint.

Thug: "???"

I didn't even use any force! Why did you fall?!

And you fell so smoothly and decisively?

Could it be that I accidentally awakened some god-tier martial arts skill???

At this moment, the thug leader was completely confused.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the "unconscious" Lin Hao sighed internally.

Sorry, cousin.

I can't save you alone, so playing dead is my best option.

Otherwise, I'd just get beaten up for nothing, and the outcome wouldn't change.

But if you became Zhao Lei's woman, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Not only could your Bai family rise in status, but it could also bring me more benefits.

A blessing in disguise?!

Thinking this way, Lin Hao suddenly felt that his cousin "losing her innocence" might not be such a bad thing after all...

"Cousin!"

Seeing Lin Hao faint, Bai Susu screamed in terror.

Watching the thugs approaching with lecherous grins, she finally realized the danger, breaking into a cold sweat.

Even if she had never seen a pig run, she had at least eaten pork before. (A Chinese idiom meaning she had never directly experienced it but knew what was happening.)

Based on TV dramas, these guys were definitely bad guys, and their intentions were clear...

Recalling all the melodramatic TV shows she had watched, Bai Susu's face turned deathly pale.

"Help me..."

She shouted for help, but everyone around her instinctively avoided eye contact.

No one dared to intervene, afraid of offending Zhao Lei.

Watching the thugs getting closer and closer, Bai Susu felt utterly hopeless.

What the heck?

According to movie plots...

Shouldn't my white knight be appearing to save me right about now...?

At this moment.

In Bai Susu's mind, Lin Xuan's figure flashed by.

Bang!!!

"Stop!!!"

"You bunch of trash!!!"

Just then, as the door was kicked open, a furious voice echoed in Bai Susu's ears.

Her eyes instantly lit up, and she excitedly looked toward the doorway.

?(?＞?＜?)?

He's here, he's here! My white knight has finally come to rescue me!!!

Under Bai Susu's expectant gaze.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone present.

At the entrance of the private room.

A little loli walked in against the dazzling light, holding up a glowing divine staff.

"I heard it! A girl calling for help..."

"Don't be afraid! Because I am here."

"From here on, leave it to me!"
