Chapter 49: Chapter 48 Second Miss’s Request

"Sister, what are you saying? Why are you telling Lin Tian to leave? What has he done wrong?" Xiao Manxuan grasped her sister’s hand anxiously, completely failing to understand.

However, Xiao Manxue did not look at her but stared at Lin Tian steadily, waiting for his stance. With things having reached this point, Lin Tian didn’t have much to say. He had thought that after spanking her, this woman would hold back a bit, but he didn’t anticipate the strength of her inner conviction.

Are all the women of the Xiao Family like this? Mrs. Xiao alone was able to support the Xiao Group, and although she didn’t expand their territories, she managed to protect the family’s hard work from being swallowed up. Her capability was so formidable that even men paled in comparison.

Now, Xiao Manxue had fully inherited Mrs. Xiao’s formidable nature, shouldering half of the Xiao Family. Lin Tian suddenly understood her difficulties—a bit to protect her family and loved ones, she could not afford to make a single mistake.

Xiao Manxue just waited for his answer, her heart far from calm. Lin Tian had become someone beyond her control, and she felt unable to grasp this person. Ever since she took over the Xiao Family, she had never encountered this situation.

Even when dealing with those cunning and shrewd old men of the older generation, she never felt this powerless. In the business world, when she dealt with others, she was always in her element. Even towards ruthless people like Bai Yuze, she had never been afraid, not even considering him worth her attention.

Yet at this moment, she couldn’t see through the man in front of her, as if he were an enigma.

"Fine, as you wish, I’ll leave the Xiao Family. Just don’t regret it; who knows, there could come a day when the Xiao Family needs me!" Lin Tian said expressionlessly.

"I disagree, but why?" Xiao Manxuan, the girl, grabbed Lin Tian’s arm nervously and said, "Lin Tian, don’t leave. Why is my sister asking you to go?"

"This..." Lin Tian really couldn’t just blurt it out. Was he to say he had touched his sister’s lingerie and got caught red-handed? That he had spanked his sister?

Xiao Manxue beside him also glared at him, looking as though she’d go all out if he actually spoke up.

"Sister, Lin Tian is an honest person. He might speak too bluntly sometimes, making you unhappy, but he’s not bad at heart. If you replace my bodyguard, I’ll do like before and drive them all off—then see who else is willing to come work for our family." The temper of both sisters was indeed alike, steadfast in their determined views, stubborn to a frightening degree.

However, her description of him as an "honest person" brought a bemused smile to her sister’s face; Lin Tian was indeed an honest person, the kind that dares to act on whatever comes to his mind.

"Xuanxuan, be good, I’m doing this for your own good; this scoundrel isn’t a good person!" The miss tried to persuade her with heartfelt words, but the younger girl simply wouldn’t accept it.

"Sister, ever since I was sensible, I’ve never asked you for anything. Count this as my first request, please don’t drive Lin Tian away, okay?" Xiao Manxuan looked pitifully at her sister, speaking softly.

Why bother, Lin Tian sighed inwardly. Having spent those days together, he was somewhat reluctant to leave this adorably stubborn young lady. She truly needed someone to protect her, someone to rely on.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Manxue stopped him, and the Miss said, "Xuanxuan, I can agree to anything else but not this matter."

"Sister, there must be a reason you drove him away. If Lin Tian hadn’t protected me a few days ago, I might never have seen you again. Do you realize that?" Xiao Manxuan said emotionally, still shaken by the memory of that day.

From the light of the cars, she saw in the garage many bodies lying in disorder, their expressions so horrifying. If it hadn’t been for Lin Tian, she wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night.

"What are you talking about? What happened a few days ago? Xuanxuan, are you hurt?" Xiao Manxue felt around on her sister’s body, confused about why she hadn’t heard of any serious incidents.

"Let me explain," Lin Tian interjected, deciding to clarify the situation since it had already come up. Xiao Manxuan didn’t know much anyway.

Lin Tian recalled the details and began, "That day, when I had just arrived at the Xiao Family, Second Miss and I went to retrieve a car from the Xinyi Mall’s underground parking lot and were attacked by ten thugs..."

"Xinyi Mall?" Xiao Manxue interrupted, asking, "I only heard reports that the parking lot’s lighting and surveillance systems had been damaged, but there was no mention of any attacks."

"The damaged lighting and surveillance systems are correct, but as for why the incident wasn’t reported, I have no idea," Lin Tian was puzzled why the death of ten people hadn’t made the news, and continued, "From their proficient movements and cold expressions, I guessed these ten weren’t ordinary hoodlums but possibly mercenaries or assassins!"

"Assassins!" Xiao Manxue’s eyes flickered, as if something had come to mind. She looked at Lin Tian and said, "Ten assassins, how did you escape them? You know they are trained to kill without fear of death. Even an ancient martial artist could fall into their hands if they’re not careful."

Since their targets were human, of course they feared nothing. But if they encountered something beyond human limits, they couldn’t help but feel fear. Lin Tian sneered, "Escape them? Miss, you’re underestimating me. Did I need to escape them? I killed them all!"

His cold tone sent shivers down Xiao Manxue’s spine. The young man in front of her looked to be only eighteen, just a high school student like her sister. Yet the way he spoke imposed a sense of pressure on her that she had never felt, not even from her own master in anger.

"Sister, everything Lin Tian said is true. I didn’t want to tell you because I was worried you would worry. Now I only have one request, if you really intend to let Lin Tian go, can we wait until after the college entrance exams? It’s just over a month away, and then we can discuss whether he stays or leaves, all according to what you decide," Xiao Manxuan pleaded while holding her sister’s hand with a coquettish expression.

Looking at the guileless little girl, Lin Tian felt a warm current flow through him. To keep him around, she had even resorted to her ultimate weapon of acting cute.

"Alright, we’ll do as Xuanxuan wishes. But Lin Tian, remember my words, don’t deceive my sister with sweet talk. Xuanxuan, let’s go upstairs. Running to a man’s room in the middle of the night is not decent," Xiao Manxue agreed, whether affected by the kidnapping or moved by her little sister’s wheedling—she compromised.

As they turned to leave, Lin Tian inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Manxue’s earlobes flushed red; clearly, she too remembered being in this very room when Lin Tian, a man, had spanked her.

Watching Xiao Manxue’s torn trouser leg revealing her fair, long legs, Lin Tian felt a surge of impulse. He wanted to rush up to her, hold down this woman, and spank her hard again to show her that a woman should be gentle.

Little did he know, his searing gaze was detected by Xiao Manxue’s heightened senses. She felt as if those magic hands were slapping her behind again, and hastily pulled her sister to beat a hasty retreat.
