Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine C.115: Transforming into a Time Management Master

Su Lin drove Lin Xiaowan to her family’s residence, where they were met by Lin Guoqiang waiting at the gate.

Su Lin commented with a wry expression, “Your dad is really going all out to keep an eye on me, waiting right at the gate. Seems like he was really ready to come to Donghai if I hadn’t brought you back by noon.”

Lin Xiaowan, seeing her father, was somewhat amused and exasperated, “Su Lin, don’t hold it against my dad, that’s just how he is. Actually, he’s a good person.”

“Naive girl, of course he’s good to you, he’s your dad.”

“Hehe~! But you’re my boyfriend, and eventually, he’ll be your dad too, so he’ll definitely be good to you,” Lin Xiaowan said with a smile.

“Ai~! I don’t know how long he’s going to keep you grounded this time. Xiaowan, remember to come find me when you have time, I’ll miss you.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to come out. My dad hardly has time to keep an eye on me,” Lin Xiaowan reassured, patting her chest confidently.

“Hey, you two should get out of the car now~!!” Lin Guoqiang’s voice rang out.

Su Lin, feeling somewhat helpless, commented, “This old man really can’t let go, even hurrying us along.”

“Pfft~! Don’t talk about my dad like that.”

“Alright, alright, I won’t say it.” Su Lin leaned in and kissed Lin Xiaowan’s forehead. Although she wanted to resist, considering her upcoming conversation with her father, she let Su Lin kiss her.

Lin Guoqiang, witnessing the kiss, was furious and stormed over to bang on the car door.

Su Lin, having already let go of Lin Xiaowan, rolled down the window, “Uncle Lin, I’ve brought Xiaowan back.”

“Go away, go away! I don’t want to see you, go away~!!!”

Watching Lin Guoqiang’s infuriated reaction, Su Lin smiled, then signaled Lin Xiaowan to get out.

She stepped out of the car and took her father’s arm, “Dad, why did you come back so early?”

“Hmph~! It’s all because your aunt called me, worried since she hadn’t seen you. I was so angry.”

“Hehe, Dad~! I’m not a kid anymore, and with Su Lin around, I’m safe,” Lin Xiaowan cooed.

“Hmph, it’s precisely because that kid is around that I feel it’s dangerous.” Thinking about their actions in the car, Lin Guoqiang’s blood pressure rose again, “Su Lin…”

Su Lin waved, “Uncle Lin, I’m leaving now, goodbye!!”

As Su Lin quickly drove off, Lin Guoqiang stood there speechless, then grumbled, “Xiaowan, didn’t I tell you not to ride in that kid’s car? Hmph, I should’ve had the traffic police catch him.”

“Hehe, Dad, it’s too late to catch Su Lin now, he’s got his driver’s license.”

“He has a license? When did he get it? Is he even eighteen yet?”

“He is, Su Lin got his license as soon as he turned eighteen.”

“That kid must’ve not learned properly and just got the license directly. No, this isn’t right, I need to bring this up in the next meeting.”

Hearing Lin Guoqiang start talking about work again, Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes.

“Oh, daughter, sorry, I got into work mode again.” Then he became serious, “Have you and Su Lin officially started dating?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, “Mhm~!!”

“How long have you been together?”

“Uh… not long, Dad, why do you need to know so specifically?”

“You silly child, I’m just concerned about you. Su Lin may look decent, but he’s quite cunning and can be bad news. Xiaowan, I really worry that you might be at a disadvantage with him. He’s not someone to take lightly.”

“Most importantly, it’s his intentions towards you. Xiaowan, when you’re with Su Lin, he doesn’t mistreat you, right?” 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶

Lin Xiaowan thought about it; Su Lin had never really mistreated her, just exhausted her at times.

This guy was always brimming with energy, like a robust bull, always finding ways to keep her occupied.

“Dad, how could Su Lin mistreat me?”

“I’m not talking about that kind of mistreatment, I mean the other kind… that…”

Seeing Lin Xiaowan’s naive look, Lin Guoqiang found himself unable to continue.

He knew if Su Lin was here he would understand what he’s implying, perhaps opening a Pandora’s box. However, Lin Guoqiang couldn’t have known that Su Lin, having experienced the information explosion of the previous life, had long been unshackled in his mind.

If Su Lin knew his thoughts, he’d probably think, “Father-in-law, if you don’t understand something, you can ask me.”

“Alright, let’s go home. Don’t stand here anymore. Just be careful when you’re with Su Lin,” Lin Guoqiang sighed.

He knew trying to stop this was futile. Without Su Lin, there would be others. And with Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin together, he could still keep an eye on them, especially since Su Zhenguo had a decent relationship with him.

Thinking about Su Zhenguo gave Lin Guoqiang a headache; the man was making more and more noise in Donghai.

Lin Xiaowan, watching Lin Guoqiang’s furrowed brow, knew he was likely thinking about work again, so she remained silent, just quietly accompanying him.

Su Lin, after leaving the courtyard, immediately called Xia Shiyu. He felt he was gradually becoming a master of time management: “Never thought I’d become like Master Luo one day, but luckily I won’t crash and burn.”

Those who had been time management masters in their previous lives seldom avoided mishaps. Unlike them, Su Lin could see the affection levels.

“Hello, Su Lin, are you back?”

Hearing Xia Shiyu’s slightly excited voice, Su Lin smiled: “Xiaoyu, how did you know I’m back?”

“If you weren’t back, you’d be having lunch with Xiaowan now, not calling me.”

Listening to Xia Shiyu’s gentle voice, Su Lin relaxed: “Hehe, you’re so clever. Are you at the company or at home?”

“I’m at the company right now, about to have lunch.”

Su Lin sounded a bit upset: “You’re having lunch at the company? Are you eating boxed meals again?”

“I… um, yes… Su Lin, I’ve been really busy lately, with six supermarkets opening, there’s a lot to handle,” Xia Shiyu explained softly.

“No matter how busy you are, haven’t I told you to prioritize meals and never eat boxed meals? They’re unhealthy,” Su Lin said, both angry and worried. Xia Shiyu was working too hard, and he couldn’t convince her otherwise.

“I know, Su Lin. I promise I won’t eat boxed meals next time.”

“Hehe, you always admit your fault and then repeat it. Do you think I don’t know?” Su Lin sighed, “Forget it. I’ll rent another floor in the company and set up a canteen so everyone can eat there.”

“Ah! Su Lin, you don’t have to do this.”

“Why not? It’s not just for you, but for the whole company. Hand this task to Yangzi and have him sort it out within this month,” Su Lin said decisively.

“Alright~!!”

“Okay… wait for me at the company. Don’t eat the boxed lunch. I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay…”
