Second-Generation Heir x Illegitimate Son 24

Listening to Lin Sui's words, Song Yunqing wasn't surprised at all; Lin Sui just had this kind of temper.

"Our Young Master Lin naturally fears nothing. In a few days, my cousin is getting engaged on a cruise ship. Do you want to go together?"

Song Yunqing naturally didn't make a special trip just to warn Lin Sui to be careful of Yan Qin. Saying this was merely to add a bit more of Lin Sui's negative emotions towards Yan Qin, and conveniently extend an invitation.

"Alright, just let me know when the time comes."

Separated by a door, Song Yunqing felt that Lin Sui's voice sounded a bit strange, but when he tried to listen carefully, Lin Sui's voice had already disappeared.

Warm light illuminated a limited area, while shadows grew thick in the corners.

The sound of tearing fabric mixed with the sound of Lin Sui speaking. The expensive suit fabric was torn by the man, leaving a rip.

It was like the night sky outside being slashed by sharp claws, revealing the soft moon-white within, like the Milky Way brimming with soft light.

A cyan butterfly fluttered gracefully within, gently resting in the man's palm, being caressed with increasing insatiability.

"Then I won't disturb your rest. See you then."

No sound came from inside the room. Song Yunqing just assumed Lin Sui couldn't be bothered to respond, smiled helplessly, turned around, and left.

The thick door blocked out the muffled sounds, concealing the tense, fraught atmosphere.

The sound of water faded into the halos of the night, and a kicked-up quilt lay haphazardly to the side.

The chest of the youth pinned beneath him heaved, the tip of his tongue licking over his slightly stinging lips.

He stopped struggling; instead, he gradually calmed down.

"Is this your revenge?"

His eyes still held remnants of hazy moisture, like a shattered galaxy.

His tone was contemptuous, like a king who would never bow his head.

Making it hard to distinguish whether he was mocking this method, or despising the degree of it.

"How could it be revenge?" Yan Qin's expression carried a bit of puzzlement, even a hint of innocence. Sniffing the side of Lin Sui's neck, he murmured, "I am merely offering my loyalty to Young Master."

Offering his unbearable desires, his dirty, greedy love.

"It wouldn't be hard for Young Master to break free. This is your territory, and the people outside are all yours."

Yan Qin spoke unhurriedly, straightening the close-fitting shirt on Lin Sui's body, his fingers caressing his master's soft waistline.

"But isn't Young Master very immersed in this kind of game? Using an aloof and lofty posture to entice people to violate you."

"Clearly enjoying it, yet unhappily trying to break free. Your thoughts are always so hard to fathom."

Yan Qin looked somewhat distressed, his eyes as black as ink.

He was vastly different from the youth who used to kneel silently at Lin Sui's feet, yet in a certain fleeting moment, they seemed to overlap.

Just how well did Yan Qin understand Lin Sui? From his greedy day and night gazes, from the past of peeping while serving closely, he had discovered Lin Sui's subtle reactions toward different things.

Perhaps because he was born into wealth and experienced many extravagant things too early, Young Master was nonchalant about many things. Sometimes, Yan Qin even felt that there seemed to be nothing in this world that he cared about.

Lin Sui actually hated being touched; when served by servants, he would avoid any possible contact.

Although he would touch him and then disgustedly wipe the contacted skin with a handkerchief, if he truly despised him that much, he wouldn't use his hands to touch him at all, let alone kiss him in the past.

Yan Qin had experienced and suffered genuine disdain and resentment. Perhaps Lin Sui didn't even realize it himself, but the way he looked at him hid something else in his eyes.

Yan Qin couldn't analyze what it was, but just that kind of look made him tremble, made him want to pull Lin Sui into his arms to kiss and cherish him. Ever since he first met Lin Sui, that strange emotion had been fermenting in his heart. It was just that his past self couldn't discern it, his wariness far outweighing that weird palpitation.

"Ah Sui," Yan Qin called out this unfamiliar address a bit clumsily and rawly. Because of his excitement, his voice was bizarrely hoarse. He intimately kissed Lin Sui's chest over his heart, and said in a declarative tone, "You were the one who seduced me first."

Lin Sui was seducing him every hour and every minute.

With his cold eyes brimming with desire, his arrogant declaring attitude, his mocking and sarcastic words, and those soft, sweet red lips.

Lin Sui's expression became increasingly unreadable following Yan Qin's words. Yan Qin was sharper than he had imagined, but this was not the final conclusion yet.

Lin Sui scoffed lightly, "If everyone who wanted to sleep with me used this kind of excuse, I'd really be too busy to handle it all."

"Do you know what seduction really is?"

The bound beauty revealed an eccentric smile, his face carrying a strange look.

Everything he had revealed so far was but the tip of the iceberg. Even the Yan Qin of his past life hadn't experienced all of his methods.

His slightly bent calf pressed closely against the man's body, his amorous eyes curving upwards.

The youth was like a snake coiling around its prey. Even though his hands were currently bound and immobilized, it didn't hinder him much.

The beauty's eyes were like honey, brimming with affection.

As if a soul was whispering by one's ear, begging to be possessed.

He hadn't even bestowed a single kiss, yet Yan Qin's entire body seemed to be swept by surging tremors. His scalp tingled numbly, nearly reaching a cranial climax in this indulgence.

"This is called seduction," Lin Sui laughed, breathing hot air against Yan Qin's ear. However, the deep affection and sweet intimacy on his face instantly faded away, replaced by a chilling malice. "But you are not worthy."

It was as if a monster that fed on human life force had bared its fangs; the ambiguous spring breeze instantly turned into a biting, cold blade.

Without him realizing it, that silver chain had already been undone by Lin Sui and was once again binding Yan Qin's neck.

Lin Sui's hand tightened inch by inch. Yan Qin's body stiffened—not because of the gradually thinning air he was drawing in, but because of Lin Sui's other moving hand.

Seemingly soft and boneless, it throttled his throat and controlled his lifeline.

The mirrored rabbit rolling in the corner, ignored by everyone, reflected this bizarrely erotic scene fraught with the threat of death. At this moment, dark clouds obscured the crescent moon; it seemed even the clear radiance was unwilling to fall into this place, for fear its pure whiteness would be stained with ink.

Blue veins throbbed; everything was declaring the youth's danger.

He was a beautiful butterfly bearing deadly poison; tasting his sweetness meant bearing the price of death.

Lin Sui's hand applied force, giving Yan Qin a lesson for his presumptuous speculations.

Yan Qin's thing hurt to the point of becoming somewhat flaccid. However, Lin Sui revealed a beautiful smile full of malicious desire, then gently and comfortingly soothed it, like rubbing a dejected little puppy.

When the cloud layer moved away and the moonlight spilled unhindered into the room, Lin Sui finally slowly withdrew the hand holding the silver chain. Looking at Yan Qin's flushed red neck, he let the chain, which had lost its grip, slide down Yan Qin's body.

"When I'm in the mood, I'm willing to tease a dog. Whatever I do is for my own pleasure; stop presumptuously trying to fathom my thoughts."

"So dirty."

Lin Sui frowned, looking at his fingers with some annoyance.

Yan Qin looked at him infatuatedly and helped him wipe away the dirt on his palm.

"Ah Sui."

Yan Qin murmured, having been pushed almost to the limit by him, his eyes filled with redness.

To be his dog, to bite him, devour him, and monopolize him.

Lin Sui's neck arched high. He tightly gripped Yan Qin's hair, his face fully exposing a chilling coldness.

Lin Sui hid the murderous intent in his eyes, thinking of how to completely kill the System.

The pain was like an ice awl piercing through his brain, bringing an unspeakable chill.

Lin Sui mocked inwardly: 'Did you not have the ability to punish me when I was using my hands just now?'

'Afraid that I'd be in so much pain that I'd lose control of my strength and leave him permanently disabled?'

The System played dead, not making a single sound.

Lin Sui pushed Yan Qin away and headed for the bathroom: "You can get lost now. If there's a next time, you can truly die here."

He waited for Yan Qin to leave, but instead, he was picked up into Yan Qin's arms.

The servants had already drawn water in the bathtub beforehand, and the lavender essential oil filled the bathroom with a faint fragrance.

"Do you not understand?"

Lin Sui looked at Yan Qin in somewhat of a stun, feeling particularly irritable because of his disobedience to orders.

Yan Qin didn't say a word, placing him on a chair and crouching down to take off his socks.

Yan Qin looked up at him and replied, "I am willing to die on Young Master's body."

He brought up the matter he was currently concerned about: "Do you need to go to the hospital? Have you been examined before?"

Yan Qin had seen Lin Sui's sudden pained appearances more than once. Occasionally, he had also seen him looking unwell on the surveillance cameras a few times. Even though it didn't last long, Lin Sui was clearly suffering.

Lin Sui pressed his temples and said impatiently, "None of your business."

People are always habitually telling many lies, and this is especially true for Lin Sui.

His nerves seemed to be undergoing freezing death by a thousand cuts, punishing his sins.

Lin Sui didn't think he had committed any sin against the System. If this punishment of death by a thousand cuts was Yan Qin's punishment for him, he would gladly accept it. But towards the System, he would never be resigned.

He had been forced into that book involuntarily; on what grounds did he have to abide by the destiny it gave him?

"Then let's go to the hospital first."

Yan Qin looked at Lin Sui's pale face and put his socks back on for him.

Lin Sui pushed him away, stepping barefoot onto the cold floor of the bathroom.

"Don't make me repeat myself. Get out!"

The Yan Qin of six years ago would have obeyed, but the current Yan Qin simply stood in place, his tall stature resembling a silent, small mountain.

"Young Master, in this kind of situation where you need me, don't say the opposite of what you mean."

Lin Sui was sometimes strangely unlike an arrogant young master. If it were Yan Zhou, he would have already been yelling and screaming, wantonly venting his emotions long ago. But Lin Sui always endured it; it had always been this way.

—Ah Sui, why didn't you tell me when you were hurt so badly?

—Ah Sui, when you need me, don't push me away.

The voice and figure in his memory overlapped with the present Yan Qin. Lin Sui's head was splitting with pain, and he supported himself against the nearby sink.

The pain disappeared silently, signifying that the System had stopped.

Lin Sui rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "Leave. I'm fine."

Yan Qin met his eyes and felt Lin Sui's eviction. He could very well not leave, but everything he had done was to test Lin Sui's bottom line; he didn't want to truly be banished by Lin Sui forever.

Yan Qin's expression was suppressed, but he still left.

Sooner or later, there would come a day when he could stay here.

Lin Sui watched him leave expressionlessly and soaked himself in the hot water.

"Tsk..."

When the System thought he was preparing to curse it and planned to continue playing dead, it heard Lin Sui talking to himself.

"Why is the time a bit shorter than before? Half an hour... Endurance in the Cultivation World is just inherently stronger. This is good too, it shouldn't be too tiring."

Lin Sui rubbed his sore wrist and said thoughtfully.

System: 'You, you, you have no sense of shame!'

Lin Sui couldn't be bothered to waste energy cursing it; infuriating it to death was enough.

Although everyone's standpoints were different, making conflict inevitable, this matter was purely because the Will of Heavenly Dao itself was a dumbass. Please just be destroyed already.

Tonight had been somewhat physically and mentally exhausting, so Lin Sui slept very deeply.

The next day, Gao Jing called him, saying that the people from Tianqi Company were very interested in the technology they were currently developing and wanted to participate.

"The unreleased version of Tianqi Company's operating system Cyan Butterfly would be of great help to our research operations. They have shown plenty of sincerity. If we can cooperate, the project can definitely be advanced significantly ahead of schedule. Boss, would you like to consider collaborating?"

The technology Gao Jing was researching wasn't exactly a huge secret in the industry. After all, people could deduce quite a bit from material orders and other aspects. However, the industry still remained pessimistic about it. After all, this research had been ongoing for six years and was still in the stage of constantly burning money for development, with no guarantee of success.

But there would always be some people who saw the feasibility in it and decided to join in and push it forward. Lin Sui wasn't surprised that Yan Qin had this kind of foresight.

It seemed that although Yan Qin had been abroad these years, he hadn't paid any less attention to domestic affairs. Even though the basic operating version of Cyan Butterfly had just started to be promoted, the advanced operating version adapted for holographic online games could already be brought out. It seemed he had put in a lot of effort.

"Of course, we gladly accept a win-win collaboration. Just don't let Wu Qiu appear in front of them. Let him stay properly in the lab and work hard to deconstruct the operational logic of Cyan Butterfly."

"Understood. He has been relatively well-behaved recently."

Speaking of Wu Qiu, Gao Jing felt a bit of a headache.

Geniuses are always different from ordinary people. Gao Jing practically had nothing left to teach Wu Qiu technically. Furthermore, he had to constantly keep an eye on Wu Qiu to ensure he didn't invade places he shouldn't out of a sudden whim, lest he be directly targeted.

"However, he misses seeing you a bit lately and keeps pestering me, asking when he can see you."

"When the timing is right, we'll talk about it."

Lin Sui never poured too much emotion into anyone other than Yan Qin. Looking at the vast sky outside the window, he revealed an extremely faint smile.

The circles in Jingzhou had been very lively recently; the name 'Yan Qin' was almost known by everyone.

The Yan Family members had been beaming with joy lately, and President Yan, Yan Wenhao, was especially smug.

He seemed to have forgotten how he had previously neglected this son and let him be bullied, acting as if he only remembered generously giving money to treat Yan Qin's mother's illness, overjoyed that the Yan Family now had a successor.

Not to mention that Yan Qin vaguely showed thoughts of returning to the Yan Family, and even implicitly expressed his long-standing admiration for his father's figure.

Ignoring his wife's and eldest son's protests, Yan Wenhao compensatorily gave Yan Qin many things, registered Yan Qin under the same household registration, and even added him to the genealogy, making him the legitimate Second Young Master Yan.

"This Yan Wenhao is quite blessed."

When the Lin Family members were talking, Father Lin commented as such.

Lin Sui sat to the side, smiling without a word, already foreseeing the Yan Family's ending.

In fact, in the original book, the plot did not progress like this. In the original book, after Yan Qin returned from abroad, he became a new tycoon in Jingzhou. The Yan Family wanted to rope him in, but he refused exceptionally decisively.

He didn't feel any father-son affection between him and Yan Wenhao, nor was he interested in the Yan Corporation at all.

But Yan Zhou didn't think so. He always regarded the returned Yan Qin as a threat and caused all sorts of trouble. Only when Yan Qin was thoroughly annoyed did he take action and annex the Yan Corporation. Naturally, Yan Zhou and Yan Wenhao had no way left to jump around; in the end, they couldn't even enter the building of the Yan Group.

But now, Yan Qin not only acted out 'a kind father and filial son' with Yan Wenhao, but even gave Yan Wenhao some sweet incentives, parachuting directly into the Yan Corporation's head office.

Lin Sui could even guess what methods Yan Qin would use next because this was one of his own favorite methods.

In his first life, someone had commented that his methods were cunning, like a sinister snake. Lin Sui didn't care. If a competitor was polite and courteous, he would naturally play clean too. But if the opponent resorted to any means necessary, was he supposed to return evil with kindness?

He had said he would make Yan Qin grow up faster. Obviously, over the years, Yan Qin had listened properly to every lesson given to him and had applied what he learned to practice.

Lin Min also chimed in with her father's statement, completely forgetting what kind of strange brief encounter she had once had with Yan Qin.

She didn't remember at all that the person she was currently praising was once the dog kept by her younger brother in his villa.

After all, six years had passed, not to mention that the number of things Lin Sui had done on a whim since childhood was countless; this was just one of them. Furthermore, they had only met once, and since then she had never heard any news about the youth in the villa again.

As for the matters that everyone in the circle knew before, who would dare to bring them to the table now? Everyone kept their mouths tightly shut.

Lin Min talked about something she heard recently, saying, "Isn't Yan Zhou pursuing Miss Dong lately? As a result, Miss Dong asked him about Yan Qin, and Yan Zhou was so furious he directly cursed at her, and his words were quite ugly. This Yan Zhou is also brainless. Is Miss Dong like those women he plays around with outside? He acts like this before even catching her. Miss Dong was so angry she slapped him directly, and his plans fell through."

Cousin Lin laughed out loud, "Yan Zhou's character is just like that. Besides, between him and Yan Qin, even a blind person would know how to choose."

Yan Zhou's height was less than 1.7 meters, whereas Yan Qin was 1.93 meters. Whether it was physique or face, Yan Qin won completely.

Cousin Lin teased, "I wonder what kind of person Yan Qin likes. I heard many people want to be matchmakers for him, but he has declined them all by saying his career is the priority. Xiao Min, why don't you give it a try? Yan Qin is much better than that Yu Xiang or whatever."

Lin Min quickly waved her hands, "Sister, stop joking with me. Yan Qin's aura is too strong; he's not someone an ordinary person can handle. I have no such intentions. However, I am quite interested in collaborating with his company..."

"Stop, stop, stop. You can't say three sentences without bringing up work. What about An'an? Are you dating lately? You're almost twenty-five. Why aren't you dating? With our An'an's face and qualifications, what kind of partner can't you find? You're not any worse than that Yan Qin. There are many good girls. One of my close friends has a younger sister..."

As the only person in the family who knew Lin Sui's sexual orientation, Lin Min hurriedly blocked her cousin's words and winked at Lin Sui.

Lin Sui smiled, "When the time is right, I will date."

Lin Min changed the subject, and Cousin Lin's attention was diverted. She started talking about the Song Family miss preparing for a wedding party on a cruise ship recently. Talking back and forth, she brought it back to Yan Qin again, seemingly exceptionally interested in him.

As the person who understood Yan Qin the best, Lin Sui didn't intend to participate in these topics. He went up to the second floor to rest.

Under the full moon, beneath the trees outside the courtyard, shadows slanted.

Lin Sui stood by the window watching quietly, thinking about the lesson he had given Yan Qin these past few days.

He had cut off all of Yan Qin's opportunities to peep. When he didn't want to see him, Yan Qin couldn't even manage to catch a glimpse of him.

Some dogs, when they don't have the ability to occupy a territory, only dare to watch eagerly from the edges.
