If one were to say that Ouyang Xiaoya is the business world's Goddess President,

Then Su Wanjing, in human relations and social aspects, surely has her unique edge.

In many matters unnoticed by others, Su Wanjing definitely knew far too much for her age.

The Su Family, when starting from scratch, relied on their connections in the worldly society, and then quietly whitewashed their past to become legitimate.

The reason Yu Tianlin's family is so intricately connected with the Su Family is because the Yu Family was, in fact, propped up by the Su Family in the underworld as they went legitimate.

Therefore, Su Wanjing was privy to many things Ouyang Xiaoya did not know.

Despite both being seen as the Iceberg Goddesses, their life experiences were starkly different.

Ouyang Xiaoya was a business prodigy, yet she was oblivious to the world's dark underbelly; her upbringing, education, and environment were like that of the evening news—mostly filled with positive energy and harmony.

Su Wanjing, on the other hand, was the contrary.

In comparison, Su Wanjing had a stronger grassroots aura than President Ouyang, which is one of the reasons she could accept Lin Hai from the start.

King Yan, the Legendary and terrifying King of Assassins, was enigmatic and unknown; it was only known that if King Yan decreed someone to die at the third watch, nobody could survive until the fifth watch; but if King Yan wanted someone spared, as long as the heart and head were intact, that person could continue living.

King Yan's actions were unpredictable; with medical skills that seemed divine and chilling killing techniques, some referred to him as "Poisonous Hands and Compassionate Heart"—merciless when assassinating, yet vastly compassionate when saving lives.

Even though they were embracing at the moment, Su Wanjing still felt detached from reality.

Since Lin Hai had personally admitted to being King Yan, it was unlikely to be a lie.

Because ordinary people would not be aware of the name King Yan.

And those who knew the name would never dare to impersonate it; for King Yan's wrath was something neither the assassin nor mercenary worlds dared endure.

Piecing together the clues she recently came upon, Su Wanjing found herself profoundly shaken, being so close to King Yan sent ripples through her tranquil heart.

Sometime ago, she learned that one of King Yan's rumored confidantes, the Super First-class Expert Battle Lord, was critically wounded in an ambush by Umbrella Emperor. In his rage, King Yan pursued relentlessly and, in India, encountered the Supreme Expert Shiva.

A Supreme Expert was immeasurably powerful, esteemed, and treated like an Inner Palace Tributor in every country.

Yet such a person was ultimately killed by King Yan, beheaded, and Umbrella Emperor, a disciple of Shiva, could not escape death either.

When Su Wanjing heard this news, her first reaction was shock.

The outside world became even more convinced that King Yan was truly invincible; if King Yan wanted someone dead, nobody could stop it.

Being from a cold family, the frail her also deeply envied Battle Lord, for having a man both powerful and deeply in love with her, traversing thousands of miles and slaying formidable foes in a fit of rage for his beloved.

How wonderful it would be to meet such a man; he didn't need to be as formidable as King Yan, nor did he need a legendary background like King Yan's—all she wanted was for him to truly love her, stand firm against societal constraints, and be willing to protect a family.

This thought eventually led Su Wanjing to consider Lin Hai as a suitable match.

Su Wanjing never planned to marry Lin Hai, as her family would not permit it, but even stringent family rules couldn't prevent her from secretly loving someone, even if love was all it could be, without the pride of marriage.

However, at this moment, Su Wanjing found her many yearned-for dreams seemingly within an infinitesimal distance from realization.

"Are you really... King Yan?" Su Wanjing asked, pressing against Lin Hai's chest, her eyes filled with a trace of fear, since she dreaded her excitement and hopes turning into mist once again.

Lin Hai gazed at Su Wanjing, he could see a hint of world-weary depth in her eyes that didn't belong to someone of her age.

"Close your eyes, and you will know," Lin Hai whispered.

Su Wanjing hummed in response, obediently closing her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered gently in the breeze.

Lin Hai swept Su Wanjing into his arms and leaped up.

Su Wanjing felt the whoosh of rushing wind by her ear, then all was silent again.

"Open your eyes!"

A hoarse voice, void of human emotion, resounded next to Su Wanjing's ear.

Trembling lashes that seemed to quiver with her inner emotions finally parted, revealing a hint of trepididity and hope.

Su Wanjing realized that she, who was just by the roadside moments ago, had somehow found herself standing on an empty rooftop.

Moonlight bathed the rooftop, while silence enveloped the surroundings.

The only presence was a nearly 1.9-meter-tall figure in a black windbreaker, muscles defining the body like sculptures, exuding an undeniable aura of strength. The person wore an ancient bronze mask, one that was the spitting image of King Yan from the legends.

Including that hoarse voice tinted with the ravages of time and infinite sorrow, yet seemingly void of human emotion, that matched the legends too.

"Wanjing, do you believe now?"

Beneath the mask, Lin Hai's original voice returned.

In Su Wanjing's beautiful eyes, which reflected the moon's light, the figure in the black windbreaker with the ancient bronze mask reached up and gently removed the mask.

At this instant, Su Wanjing felt as if she had forgotten to breathe. All her attention, as if drawn by some magic power, focused intently on the mask, waiting for each passing second when the true face beneath would be revealed.

Finally, the mask was lifted, and under the moonlight, that familiar face was exposed.

Lin Hai's features, frame in the moon's side light, held a fatal allure for women.

"So it really is you."

Su Wanjing didn't know how to express her emotions at this moment.

King Yan was someone who never showed his true face, except to his closest life-and-death brothers and women.

"Wanjing, now that you know my identity, will you leave me?"

Lin Hai was somewhat anxious at heart; he couldn't reveal it to Ouyang Xiaoya.

But Su Wanjing was different, like Battle Lord, she was someone who could know his identity.

Especially after knowing about Su Wanjing's family background, Lin Hai was even more willing to reveal his true face to her.

Su Wanjing bit her red lips, silent.

"Are you afraid that knowing my identity might put you in danger?" Lin Hai's eyes also held hope.

In truth, he had always been lonely and couldn't help but wish for a true friend, a true lover.

"Lin Hai, I won't leave you."

As if making a significant decision, Su Wanjing finally spoke up.

Lin Hai's face broke into a happy smile, embracing the beauty in his arms.

"Though I can't marry you right now, I promise we will register our marriage."

Lin Hai's laughter carried a hint of boyish glee.

"What about Ouyang Xiaoya?" Su Wanjing was no fool; she had already roughly figured out the relationship between Lin Hai and Ouyang Xiaoya over time.

"Don't worry, any woman who is mine will successfully register with me."

"I knew you wouldn't have just one woman." Su Wanjing had indeed hesitated in her heart, but upon reflection, she realized a man like Lin Hai was never meant to be content as a stay-at-home husband.

"Lin Hai, could you do me a favor? If you're willing to help me, I'm willing to give you my first time." Su Wanjing hesitated before speaking out.

Lin Hai smiled with an air of dominance, "You are already my woman. The women King Yan sets his eyes on never escape his grip, besides, what man in this world could possibly be worthy of you?"

Pausing for a moment, Lin Hai held the beauty close, inhaling her fragrance, he added, "You are my woman, and your issues are my issues, we don't need to talk about exchanges; ours is a relationship, not a transaction!"

"People say that King Yan's medical skills are also the best under the heavens, can you save my grandmother?"

This was the deepest worry in Su Wanjing's heart.

"No problem, I'll go tomorrow!" Lin Hai confidently slapped his chest.

Hearing Lin Hai's promise, Goddess Su took a deep breath and her smile blossomed gradually.
