Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 120: Touching Legs

Just as Su Lin and his two companions were preparing to enter the supermarket, he detected a keen gaze coming from diagonally across. Su Lin immediately turned to face the window on the third floor across the street.

Although the window was closed, Su Lin knew Lin Tian was surely standing there watching him. Lin Tian hadn’t expected Su Lin to have such strong perception, able to sense someone watching him from half a street away.

Lin Tian didn’t avert his gaze but continued to watch Su Lin, realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent. Su Lin didn’t seem like a typical rich second generation who only knew about racing and flirting; instead, he seemed like a cunning old fox.

“Is this guy also reborn? Unlikely. If rebirth were so easy, the world would be in chaos. Besides, if Su Lin were reborn, he wouldn’t forget about wanting to kill my father and me.”

“This guy was a notable figure in his previous life. I heard he was already the top guy in school during junior high. It’s clear those past rumors weren’t exaggerated.”

“Hmph, the more mysterious you are, Su Lin, the more I believe you’re behind my father’s death.”

Unaware of Lin Tian’s thoughts, Su Lin, along with Xia Shiyu and Zhao Yanyan, entered the supermarket. The supermarket was almost fully decorated, with only some minor touch-ups remaining.

“The renovation looks great, Yanyan. You’re about to manage a supermarket, any thoughts?” Su Lin asked.

Zhao Yanyan, filled with a sense of achievement, instinctively puffed out her chest upon hearing Su Lin’s praise. Although she had a strong talent in business, she was still a bit behind Xia Shiyu.

Su Lin glanced at her and then looked away. It wasn’t that she was unattractive, but compared to her legs, nothing else was as eye-catching.

“Yanyan, can I check the financial situation here?” Xia Shiyu asked. She was a typical workaholic, especially eager to know the supermarket’s status.

Zhao Yanyan nodded and led Su Lin and Xia Shiyu to the finance office.

“Yanyan, you didn’t have to bring me here.”

Zhao Yanyan laughed, “It’s just a few steps away, so I took the opportunity to give Su Lin a tour.”

“That’s fine. Su Lin, Yanyan, you go ahead, I’ll check the financials and report back to you later.”

Su Lin, somewhat helplessly, said, “Xiaoyu, you just arrived yesterday. Can’t you rest for a few days?”

“Hehe, checking the finances isn’t tiring. Su Lin, you go have a look around, I’ll be quick.”

Seeing Su Lin’s smile freeze, Zhao Yanyan suggested, “How about visiting my office next door?”

Su Lin hesitated, then nodded. Following Zhao Yanyan to her office, Su Lin found it quite plain, with only a desk, chair, water dispenser, and cupboard.

“Uh… Yanyan, if you want to apply for funds to decorate your office, just say so. You don’t need to show me this.”

“Haha, I just haven’t had the time yet. Besides, the office isn’t a supermarket; as long as it’s functional, it’s fine.”

“Alright then, I won’t approve funds for your office. It’s good for the manager to lead by example in frugality,” Su Lin said with a light laugh.

“No, no, no. Su Lin… my budget can’t be cut by a single cent, or I’ll put your supermarket on discount sale.”

“Hahaha, Yanyan, you might as well give it away for free instead of discounting,” laughed Su Lin.

“Okay, stop laughing. Sit for a while, I’ll pour you a glass of water.”

Su Lin nodded and sat down.

Zhao Yanyan went to the cupboard, took out a paper cup, and bent over to pour water. Standing tall at 1.77 meters in her sneakers, she had to bend down, instantly showcasing her figure, especially her straight, flawless legs, right in front of Su Lin.

In such a small room, not a wall or cupboard, Su Lin’s gaze inevitably fell on Zhao Yanyan.

Once Su Lin’s gaze landed on her legs, he couldn’t look away. He admitted to himself that his lecherous side was becoming active again.

Zhao Yanyan, unaware of Su Lin’s gaze, only realized something was off when she stood up after getting the water. Smiling, she walked towards Su Lin with the cup in hand: “Do they look good?”

“Very good,” he replied.

“How about a touch?” Zhao Yanyan teased, mimicking a sexy and fiery gesture like those of Korean pop idols. With ten years of dance experience, her casual movements were enough to captivate Su Lin.

“May I?” Su Lin asked expectantly.

Seeing Su Lin’s gaze, Zhao Yanyan sighed inwardly, realizing Lin Xiaowan was right – fundamentally, this guy was just a common man.

“You can touch, but my legs aren’t for just anyone – only my husband can touch them,” she stated seriously.

Despite her bold and passionate exterior, she was quite shy about relationships, so she bravely stated this, hoping Su Lin would back off.

Su Lin chuckled, “Yanyan, if it’s about marriage, I definitely can’t do that.”

“Then don’t even think about it.”

Zhao Yanyan placed the water cup in his hand and walked towards her desk. Su Lin chuckled and didn’t continue the topic.

Zhao Yanyan might seem bold, but deep down, she was quite conservative – a classic case of a ‘bold online, shy offline’ personality. If Su Lin had really made a move just now, Zhao Yanyan would have avoided him for at least a week or even given him a sudden kick.

“Su Lin, you already have Xiaowan and Xiaoyu. Aren’t you satisfied? Why do you still bother me?” Zhao Yanyan asked seriously, her heart in turmoil, wanting to be with Su Lin but unable to cross that barrier.

“When have I ever bothered you? Your words are strange,” he responded.

“Hmph, your gaze didn’t look like one for just a friend. You even wanted to touch my leg.”

Su Lin exclaimed, “Just now, someone was flaunting her legs in front of me. A man’s nature is to be attracted to beauty, and not taking a free opportunity isn’t manly.”

“Hmph, you men always think with your lower half.”

“Heh! If that were true, you would have been sitting on my lap by now, and I would have already made my move,” Su Lin said indifferently.

“You’re quite straightforward, not hiding your inner thoughts at all.”

Su Lin nodded, “Right, there’s nothing to hide. I can’t pretend to be something I’m not. Yanyan, I must remind you, don’t talk to me like that again next time.”

“Why?”

“Because I might really make a move, and if you’re unwilling, it would make us both unhappy.”

“What if I am willing?”

“Then, of course, we’ll both be happy,” Su Lin said with a smile.

“Hehe… Xiaoyu is in the next room.”

“What’s the issue? When we were in Zhongjiang, Xiaoyu slept in the room next to mine, while Xiaowan and I shared a bed.”

“Alright, you win!!!” Zhao Yanyan felt utterly defeated by Su Lin. She couldn’t fathom what kind of magic he used to make Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan so indulgent towards him.

Though she understood somewhat, considering Su Lin’s excellence, she still couldn’t bring herself to do it.
