326: Lin Wan left to punish the wicked Irina!

An hour later.

Lin Wan stood up and straightened the slightly wrinkled white silk shirt she was wearing; the blush on her intelligent, pretty face had not completely faded.

She resumed the capable demeanor of an elite Dragon Shield Bureau team leader, giving a slight nod to everyone as a farewell.

"I'll see you out, Secretary Lin."

Su Mo also stood up and followed behind Lin Wan, ignoring the few playful glances cast his way from the table.

At the villa entrance, the night breeze was slightly cool.

Lin Wan stopped and turned around, the look in her eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses appearing somewhat complicated in the darkness.

"Su Mo, I'm counting on you for the 'Contest of Ten Thousand Nations' matter." Her tone remained serious.

"Don't worry." Su Mo stepped forward, reaching out to straighten her slightly crooked glasses, his fingertip brushing unintentionally against her warm cheek. "Since my personal secretary personally came to provide service, I definitely have to give face."

Lin Wan's cheeks flushed again. She gently slapped Su Mo's hand away and glared at him reproachfully.

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to come over and finalize the specific handover details with you."

"Then what about my Great Secretary Lin? Aren't you coming to report your work to me tomorrow?" Su Mo's tone held a hint of teasing.

"I..."

Lin Wan was speechless; the professional aura she had just established was punctured by a single sentence from this man.

She took a black trench coat from her storage ring and put it on, covering her graceful figure.

"It depends!"

Dropping those three words, she hurried toward the black sedan parked in the courtyard, her high heels clicking.

Su Mo did not pursue her, instead leaning against the door frame, admiring the elegant figure quickly departing into the night.

The car door opened, and Lin Wan sat down.

Just as she bent down to pull her long legs inside, the interior light came on, illuminating her legs clearly.

Her left leg was still encased in perfect black stockings, stretching from the base of her thigh down to her delicate ankle, mysterious and alluring.

But her right leg... from the knee upward, it was completely bare. The fair, delicate skin shone with an ivory luster under the light, creating a strong visual contrast with the black of her left leg.

Even more striking were the faint, indistinct red marks visible on her tender thigh... The car engine started and quickly disappeared into the night.

Su Mo retracted his gaze and turned back into the villa... Inside the living room, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Qin Lan and Irina were clearing the dining table, while Xiao Wu sat on the soft carpet, hugging a huge teddy bear doll, her two straight legs swinging back and forth.

Shen Yufu and Rose sat side-by-side on the sofa, each holding a glass of red wine, their beautiful eyes simultaneously locked onto Su Mo as he entered.

"Oh, look, our Lord Su has returned?"

Rose swirled her wine glass, a probing light flickering in her long, narrow phoenix eyes.

"I really don't understand. You let the meat that was delivered right to your mouth just walk away like that?"

Shen Yufu also chimed in, "That's not like you, Lord Su. I thought our newly appointed Great Secretary Lin was going to start her first 'overtime' shift tonight."

They knew Su Mo too well.

This man harbored an almost obsessive possessiveness toward beautiful women with long legs, stockings, and attractive feet.

Lin Wan's bold provocation at the dinner table earlier was practically screaming the words, "Come and bully me."

Given Su Mo's personality, how could he possibly let her off easily?

Yet, he truly only held her for an hour of "pure chatting," and then let her leave "disheveled."

Did the sun rise in the west today?

"Hey, hey, hey, do you really see me as an animal who only thinks with his lower body?" Su Mo walked over, looking exasperated, and plopped down on the sofa between the two women.

He casually tossed the black stocking onto the coffee table and sighed.

"Perspective, you need to broaden your perspective."

"Lin Wan is currently the sole liaison between the Dragon Shield Bureau and me. For the upcoming 'Contest of Ten Thousand Nations,' I still need to obtain firsthand intelligence and resources through her."

"If I push her too hard, even a cornered rabbit will bite. If she quits, I'd have to spend effort finding someone else, and that's too much trouble."

Su Mo spoke with a serious expression.

"Oh—"

Rose and Shen Yufu exchanged glances, both wearing expressions that said, "I believe your ghost."

"You say that as if you didn't just bully her until her eyes were red," Rose muttered, lightly kicking Su Mo's shin with the tip of her boot.

Su Mo couldn't be bothered to argue with them. Having eaten his fill and finished the official business, next... it was time for some "household matters."

His gaze began to sweep back and forth over the alluring women in the living room.

Shen Yufu immediately lowered her head to look at a magazine again, pretending nothing was happening, but the slightly tense lines of her beautiful legs betrayed her nervousness.

Rose, however, was bolder. She stretched, extending her fiery figure, and crooked a finger at Su Mo, her long, narrow phoenix eyes full of provocation.

Qin Lan was tidying up the dishes in the kitchen, seemingly trying to avoid this "battle."

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who usually had little presence, was sitting on the soft wool rug, hugging a half-human-sized toy bear.

She looked at the reactions of Rose and Shen Yufu, then at Su Mo's mischievous expression, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her large pink eyes.

She lowered her head, looked at the pair of Mythical-grade high heels on her feet that radiated a fantastical brilliance, and then looked at the toy bear in her arms.

The next second.

She lifted her perfect, jade-like foot, clad in the [soft bone moon radiance], and gently stepped on the fluffy bear toy...

Then, she raised her head, her pure, innocent pink eyes looking toward Su Mo with a mixture of confusion and anticipation.

Is this how the game is played?

Su Mo's breathing hitched.

This little enchantress!

She had no idea how terrifying the destructive power of her unintentional action was!

However, Su Mo's final gaze fell upon the Blonde Elf who was sitting upright, trying to minimize her presence.

Irina!

The one-meter-ninety-tall Elf Guard Captain was currently sitting on a single sofa, holding a cup of hot tea, as elegant as a classical oil painting.

But Su Mo keenly noticed that,

her other hand, resting on the armrest of the sofa, was secretly reaching toward her ankle, apparently trying to undo the straps of her golden high heels.

Trying to destroy the evidence?

Too late!

Irina suddenly felt a ripple in the air beside her, and before she could react, a figure had appeared in front of her.

"My Captain of the Guard, what are you doing here?"

Su Mo's voice sounded next to her ear, carrying a hint of teasing.

Irina's heart sank. She suddenly looked up and met Su Mo's eyes, which were filled with a wicked smile.

"Trying to dispose of the 'murder weapon'?"

Su Mo chuckled, giving her no chance at all. He extended his arm, wrapped it around her supple waist, and a great force lifted Irina easily off the sofa.

"Ah!"

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made the proud Elf Guard Captain let out a short gasp.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around Su Mo's neck, and her stunningly beautiful face was instantly filled with panic and embarrassment.

"You... put me down!!"

"Put you down?" Su Mo held her and walked step by step toward the stairs, the smile on his face growing increasingly "wicked."

"You seemed quite pleased with yourself when you kicked me with your heel at the dinner table earlier, didn't you?"

"I see you learn very quickly—you grasped the concept and surpassed your teacher; now you even know how to kick the shin."

"Since you love these shoes so much, and you love playing the foot-stepping game, then tonight... I'll give you a proper lesson..."
