Chapter 159 You Are My Woman, Yang Fan's Woman
Yang Fan took Lin Susu to the cinema to watch a movie.
The film they watched was a romance. The love story between the male and female leads moved Lin Susu to tears, leaving her sobbing uncontrollably.
As for Yang Fan, he watched the entire film with a completely expressionless face, his heart without the slightest ripple of emotion.
Seeing this guy look so indifferent, Lin Susu felt utterly depressed.
When they came out of the theater, it was already past seven in the evening. The sky had grown dark, and the streets were getting more and more crowded, bustling with lively activity.
"Where are we going next?" Lin Susu asked, linking her arm through Yang Fan's.
She had already come to terms with it in her mind; since she was essentially a kept woman bought by Yang Fan, she would let him do whatever he wanted.
Now that they were out, she had already made up her mind.
"Considering the time, it's already past seven. Let's find a hotel and get a room," Yang Fan said, putting his arm around Lin Susu's slender waist.
"Get a room?" Although she was mentally prepared, Lin Susu still felt a shock, her heart skipping a beat.
She naturally understood the implication of getting a room.
In an instant, her cheeks flushed crimson, the red spreading all the way to the tips of her ears, looking utterly adorable.
Seeing the woman's bashful appearance, Yang Fan found it quite amusing.
As for mentioning a hotel room, he merely wanted to test Lin Susu's reaction.
If she refused, Yang Fan might have resorted to force.
Seeing that she did not refuse, but instead remained silent and appeared shy, she presumably had no objections.
Therefore, Yang Fan didn't actually have any intention of going to a hotel room right then.
He needed to fully develop her Innate Spiritual Body before plucking that fruit; that was when it would provide him with the maximum benefit.
If he were to consume her now, it wouldn't be of much use.
"Heh, I was just teasing you. I'll take you home," Yang Fan said with a light chuckle.
"Phew." Hearing that Yang Fan was only joking, Lin Susu let out a sigh of relief, yet she also felt a faint sense of loss.
Was she truly so unattractive to him?
In terms of looks, Lin Susu felt she was certainly not lacking.
"Let's go." Holding her delicate hand in his palm, Yang Fan let her lead the way.
Lin Susu lived in an ordinary residential complex where the residents were not particularly wealthy.
"I'm home," Lin Susu stopped in her tracks right beneath her apartment building, looked at Yang Fan, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head up first."
"Did you forget? I said I was going to play the ruffian with you tonight," Yang Fan said, his hands tucked in his pockets as his gaze fixed on Lin Susu.
"You're coming to my place?" Lin Susu gasped.
Hearing Yang Fan's words, her immediate reaction was that he intended to spend the night at her apartment.
If that really happened, what should she do? Refuse or agree?
If she agreed, how could she explain it to her family?
If she refused, would Yang Fan get angry?
In a split second, a flurry of thoughts raced through Lin Susu's mind, making her somewhat panicked.
"Must playing the ruffian necessarily mean going inside your house?" Yang Fan chuckled softly. He then stepped closer to Lin Susu and pulled her into his arms.
Lowering his head, he pressed his lips against those alluring ones and kissed her.
Her mind short-circuited; for a brief second, Lin Susu felt her brain go completely blank. She had been forcibly kissed, and she was at a complete loss.
Her body stiffened, letting Yang Fan hold her, her mouth blocked and yielding entirely to his demands.
This was her first kiss, stolen away by Yang Fan.
Her pearly teeth were gently parted, and her entire mouth was conquered.
Not knowing how to respond, she could only clumsily cooperate with Yang Fan.
After a full two minutes, Yang Fan finally released Lin Susu. A seductive smile hung on his face as he said, "I told you I was going to be a ruffian with you tonight, so I always keep my word."
With a flushed face and a complexion as delicate and tender as a fresh blossom, she looked exceptionally charming. Lin Susu looked up at Yang Fan, ripples of affection shimmering in her eyes.
Deep down, she felt a secret thrill and an inexplicable joy.
"Remember, you are my woman, Yang Fan's woman. You are not allowed to be with other men—not even speaking to them," Yang Fan said domineeringly, staring right into her eyes.
"I know," Lin Susu lowered her head and replied softly.
Facing Yang Fan's overbearing attitude, she felt no resistance at all; instead, it felt deeply sweet.
Seeing Lin Susu's bashful expression, the corners of Yang Fan's mouth curved upward slightly.
He was going to make Lin Susu willingly become his cultivation cauldron.
"Susu," at that moment, a middle-aged man walked over. His brows furrowed slightly when he caught sight of Yang Fan standing next to Lin Susu.
The man was Lin Susu's father, Lin Shuhai.
Upon seeing Yang Fan, Lin Shuhai felt a wave of vigilance, worried that the fellow might be in a romantic relationship with his daughter.
His daughter was still in high school, and her academic performance was excellent. Lin Shuhai would absolute refuse to see her studies ruined by falling in love.
"Dad, you're back," seeing her father return, Lin Susu's expression turned somewhat unnatural.
She knew her father opposed dating while still a student, and she worried that Yang Fan would be misunderstood.
She was well aware that she was a kept woman bought by Yang Fan; if her father found out, she wouldn't know what to do.
"Susu, who is this?" Lin Shuhai walked over, glanced at Yang Fan, and asked.
"Hello, Uncle, I'm a friend of Susu's," Yang Fan said with a gentle smile, his demeanor exuding a natural warmth.
"A friend?" Lin Shuhai looked at Yang Fan warily and said, "Let me tell you, don't even think about having any ideas regarding my Susu. She is still studying and is strictly forbidden from dating. Don't ever come looking for her again, and don't let me catch you around here, or I won't be polite to you."
As a father, he loved his precious daughter dearly. Moreover, Susu was his only child, the apple of his eye, and he would never allow some other man to ruin her.
"Dad, don't be like this. Yang Fan isn't a bad person," Lin Susu panicked and quickly tried to persuade him.
Her main worry was that Yang Fan would get angry.
If Yang Fan got angry and resorted to violence, Lin Shuhai would undoubtedly take a brutal beating.
"I don't care whether he's a bad person or not. In short, you are not allowed to associate with him. I absolutely forbid you from dating while you're still in school," Lin Shuhai declared firmly.
Yang Fan was left momentarily speechless and had no intention of explaining himself anyway.
Besides, he didn't have any desire to consume Lin Susu right now.
"Dad, I know my limits. I won't let it affect my studies," Lin Susu said in a low voice.
She wanted to deny her relationship with Yang Fan, but she was afraid the latter would mind, so she could only phrase it this way.
"It won't affect your studies? Do you expect me to believe that?" Lin Shuhai said angrily. "You are Dad's most cherished daughter. Dad wants you to study hard, find a good job in the future, and live a good life. Puppy love will only ruin your studies and ruin your future prospects."
With her head lowered, Lin Susu found it hard to retort.
She knew her father cared about her and had her best interests at heart.
"Lin Shuhai, it's good that you're home. It saves me the trouble of hunting you down. It's about time you paid back the money you owe, or I'll break one of your legs today."
A young man walked over accompanied by a group of thugs, glaring at Lin Shuhai with a fierce expression.
The moment they saw the newcomers, both Lin Shuhai and Lin Susu's complexions changed drastically.
The young man leading the group was known as Brother Huan, a small-time boss who ran a usury loan sharking ring.
Back when Lin Shuhai fell ill and the family had no money for medical treatment, he had no choice but to borrow from loan sharks.
And those high-interest loans snowballed rapidly, with the debt growing larger and larger until Lin Susu's family could no longer afford to pay it back.
