Receiving the letter from the person who had just arrived, Xiao Yufan didn’t even turn his head, directly grabbing Hu Yingluo’s hand and walking outside with her. Soon, the two disappeared around the corner.
Taking the letter from the messenger, Xiao Yufan didn’t even look back. He directly grabbed Hu Yingluo’s hand and walked outside. Soon, the two disappeared around the corner.
Watching the still respectful owner of the Kempinski Hotel, Hu Yingluo’s father finally snapped out of his daze. He couldn’t understand why such a well-connected boss would show such deference to a young man.
“Mr. Pan, I wonder who this young man, Xiao Yufan, is. Do you know him?”
“I don’t know this young man, but I do know that he is someone I absolutely cannot afford to provoke. Old Master Situ asked me to pass on a message to you: ‘Do not underestimate the young and poor.'”
For someone like Hu Yingluo’s father, a nouveau riche, the owner of the Kempinski Hotel disdained to engage in conversation. Anyone who could successfully run a five-star hotel in Beijing undoubtedly had deep connections.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s father was struck by a wave of realization. The surname “Situ” was uncommon, and anyone in Beijing’s business circles knew what the Situ family represented.
“No wonder he was so arrogant. It seems I misjudged him. Could he also be from the Situ family? I don’t recall Yingluo’s previous boyfriend being from the Situ family.”
Muttering to himself, Hu Yingluo’s father furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought, staring in the direction where Xiao Yufan and his daughter had left. Recalling the message he had been given, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan, who had already left the Kempinski, was oblivious to what was happening. He was slightly annoyed, as the words of Hu Yingluo’s father and stepmother had completely exposed his humble background.
“Are you still angry? A grown man shouldn’t be so upset. I just…”
“Just lied to me, right? Do you think this is fun? I’m not your plaything, some toy for a spoiled rich girl!”
With a cold expression, Xiao Yufan’s pent-up anger surged. Both Hu Yingluo and Ma Teng had gone too far, keeping everything from him. The feeling of helplessness made him very uncomfortable.
“I just didn’t have the time to tell you everything. And I was afraid you might overthink it, so it turned out like this. I didn’t expect my stepmother to bring it up today!”
Hu Yingluo had never been so humble before. She knew she was in the wrong and couldn’t act too assertively. Moreover, she could sense Xiao Yufan’s unusual mood and didn’t want to dwell on the issue.
“It’s not that you didn’t have time; you just never thought to tell me. Do you see me as a friend or just a plaything to amuse yourself with when you’re bored? If you want to amuse yourself, go find someone else. I’m done playing!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t know why, but the composure he had cultivated over the years became so fragile in front of Hu Yingluo. Perhaps, deep down, he already had feelings for this girl…
The two maintained a long distance between them. Hu Yingluo’s pretty face showed a mix of coquettishness and resentment, resembling a scorned woman, which drew the attention of passersby.
“You’ve vented your anger and let off steam… Now, you should feel better, right?”
After a few minutes of silence, Hu Yingluo quickened her pace and caught up with Xiao Yufan. She gently tugged at his sleeve, looking very aggrieved.
“I…” Xiao Yufan was momentarily at a loss for words. The inexplicable anger he felt slowly dissipated upon sensing Hu Yingluo’s tenderness. It was all his pride at play; he didn’t want Hu Yingluo to see him in such a sorry state.
“Can I ask you a question…”
Seeing that Xiao Yufan had finally returned to normal, Hu Yingluo gradually calmed herself. Recalling the scene when they left the private room, she tentatively asked.
Nodding in agreement, Xiao Yufan couldn’t really stay mad at this girl. He just hated being deceived the most. Since Cheng Ying left, his sensitive state of mind had become increasingly fragile.
“How do you know the owner of the Kempinski, the one who delivered something to you? And what’s your relationship with the Old Master Situ he mentioned?”
“I don’t know that person at all. As for the Old Master Situ he mentioned, he’s probably the master I told you about. My knowledge of feng shui comes from him.”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to hide anything. Besides, he didn’t think there was any harm in telling Hu Yingluo these things. However, he became increasingly curious about the Situ family. Was this the circle he was supposed to be part of? It did seem quite mysterious.
“So, you’re from the Situ family, and you have some connection with them…”
Hu Yingluo was very surprised. She had been working in Beijing for years and was not ignorant of many things. She clearly understood what the Situ family meant in the business world, and she had even interacted with members of the Situ family before.
“Maybe, possibly, probably, more or less, there might be some connection.”
Xiao Yufan looked indifferent, but deep down, he might have already considered himself part of the so-called Situ family. He just didn’t want to admit it…
“Boss Pan, do you know who this young man named Xiao Yufan is? Could it be that you two are acquainted?”
“I don’t know this young man personally, but I do know that he’s someone I absolutely cannot provoke. Old Master Situ instructed me to give you this message: never underestimate a young man because he’s poor…”
Taking the letter from the messenger, Xiao Yufan didn’t even look back. He immediately grabbed Hu Yingluo’s hand and walked out, quickly disappearing around the corner.

“I don’t know him, but I do know that he’s someone I absolutely cannot afford to provoke. Old Master Situ asked me to pass on a message to you: ‘Don’t underestimate the poor youth.'”
For Hu Yingluo’s father, a nouveau riche, the owner of the Kempinski Hotel disdained to engage in conversation. Anyone who could successfully run a five-star hotel in Beijing undoubtedly had deep connections in the city.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s father was struck by a wave of shock. The surname Situ was already rare, and anyone in Beijing’s business circles knew exactly what the Situ family represented.
“No wonder he’s so arrogant. It seems I misjudged him. Could he also be from the Situ family? I don’t recall Yingluo’s previous boyfriend being from the Situ family.”

Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan, who had already left the Kempinski, was oblivious to what was happening. He was slightly annoyed, as the words of Hu Yingluo’s father and stepmother had completely exposed his humble background.
“Are you still angry? What’s with all this anger? It’s not like I…”
“Not like you lied to me, right? Do you think this is fun? I’m not some toy for a spoiled rich girl like you!”
With a cold expression, Xiao Yufan’s pent-up frustration surged. Both Hu Yingluo and Ma Teng had gone too far, keeping everything from him, and that sense of helplessness made him extremely uncomfortable.
“I just didn’t have the time to tell you everything, and I was afraid you’d overthink it. That’s why it turned out this way. I didn’t expect my stepmother to bring it up today!”
Hu Yingluo had never been so submissive before. She knew she was in the wrong and couldn’t afford to be too assertive. Moreover, she could sense Xiao Yufan’s unusual mood and didn’t want to dwell on the issue.

The two maintained a long distance between them. Hu Yingluo’s pretty face showed a hint of pique, resembling a resentful wife, which drew sidelong glances from passersby.
“You’ve vented your anger… Now, you should feel better, right?”
After several minutes of silence, Hu Yingluo quickened her pace and caught up with Xiao Yufan. She gently tugged at his sleeve, looking very aggrieved.
“I…” Xiao Yufan didn’t know what to say. His inexplicable anger slowly dissipated as he felt Hu Yingluo’s tenderness. It was all his pride at play; he didn’t want Hu Yingluo to see him in such a pitiful state.
“Can I ask you a question?”
Seeing that Xiao Yufan had finally calmed down, Hu Yingluo took a moment to steady her emotions. Recalling the scene when they left the private room, she tentatively asked.
Nodding in agreement, Xiao Yufan couldn’t really stay mad at this girl. He just hated being deceived. Since Cheng Ying left, his sensitive state of mind had become increasingly fragile.
“How do you know the owner of the Kempinski, the one who gave you that thing? And what’s your relationship with the Old Master Situ he mentioned?”
“I don’t know that person at all. As for the Old Master Situ he mentioned, he’s probably the master I told you about. You know, the one who taught me all my feng shui skills.”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to hide anything. Besides, he didn’t think there was any harm in telling Hu Yingluo these things. However, he was increasingly curious about the Situ family. Was this the circle he was supposed to belong to? It did seem quite mysterious.
“So, you’re from the Situ family, and you have some connection with them?”
Hu Yingluo was visibly surprised. She had been working in Beijing for years and wasn’t ignorant of many things. She knew exactly what the Situ family meant in the business world, and she had even interacted with members of the family before.
“Maybe, possibly, probably, more or less, I guess there’s some connection.”
Xiao Yufan looked indifferent, but deep down, he might have already considered himself part of the so-called Situ family. He just wasn’t willing to admit it…
Upon hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s father was deeply shaken. The surname Situ was rare to begin with, and anyone involved in the Beijing business circles knew exactly what the Situ family represented.
“No wonder he was so arrogant. Looks like even I can misjudge people sometimes. Could this person actually be related to the Situs? I don’t recall Xiao Yufan being from the Situ family, wasn’t Yingluo’s previous boyfriend from the Situs?”
Muttering inwardly, Hu Yingluo’s father furrowed his brows, staring in the direction Xiao Yufan had left and falling into deep thought. Recalling the message he had been told to relay, a chill ran down his spine.
Taking the letter from the messenger, Xiao Yufan didn’t even look back. He immediately grabbed Hu Yingluo’s hand and walked out, quickly disappearing around the corner.
Watching the still respectful owner of the Kempinski Hotel, Hu Yingluo’s father finally snapped out of his daze. He couldn’t understand why such a well-connected man would show such deference to a young man.
“Mr. Pan, who is this young man named Xiao Yufan? Do you know him?”
“I don’t know him personally, but I do know that he’s someone I absolutely cannot afford to offend. Old Master Situ asked me to pass on a message to you: ‘Don’t underestimate the young and poor.'”
For someone like Hu Yingluo’s father, who had recently come into wealth, the owner of the Kempinski Hotel had little interest in engaging in conversation. Running a five-star hotel in Beijing required deep connections, something that was obvious without much thought.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s father was struck by a wave of shock. The surname “Situ” was rare, and anyone in Beijing’s business circles knew exactly what the Situ family represented.
“No wonder he’s so arrogant. It seems I misjudged him. Could he also be from the Situ family? I don’t recall Yingluo’s previous boyfriend being from the Situ family.”
Muttering to himself, Hu Yingluo’s father furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought, staring in the direction where Xiao Yufan and his daughter had left. The message he had been relayed sent a chill down his spine.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan, who had already left the Kempinski, was unaware of the unfolding events. He was slightly irritated, feeling that the words of Hu Yingluo’s father and stepmother had exposed his humble background.
“Are you still angry? What’s with all this anger? I just…”
“Just lied to me, right? Do you think this is fun? I’m not some toy for a spoiled young lady like you!”
With a cold expression, Xiao Yufan’s pent-up frustration erupted. Both Hu Yingluo and Ma Teng had gone too far, keeping him in the dark about everything. The feeling of helplessness was unbearable.
“I just didn’t have the time to tell you everything, and I was afraid you’d overthink it. I didn’t know my stepmother would bring it up today!”
Hu Yingluo had never been so humble before. She knew she was at fault and couldn’t act too assertively. She could sense Xiao Yufan’s unusual mood and didn’t want to dwell on the issue.
“It’s not that you didn’t have time; you just never thought to tell me. Do you see me as a friend or just some plaything to amuse yourself with when you’re bored? If you want entertainment, go find someone else. I’m done playing!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t know why, but his usual composure crumbled in front of Hu Yingluo. Perhaps, deep down, he already had feelings for her.
The two kept a considerable distance between them. Hu Yingluo’s pretty face showed a mix of annoyance and resentment, resembling a scorned woman, which drew the attention of passersby.
“You’ve had your anger, you’ve vented… Now, you should feel better, right?”
After a few minutes of silence, Hu Yingluo quickened her pace and caught up with Xiao Yufan. She gently tugged at his sleeve, looking very aggrieved.
“I…” Xiao Yufan didn’t know what to say. His inexplicable anger slowly dissipated as he felt Hu Yingluo’s tenderness. It was all his pride at play; he didn’t want her to see him in such a state.
“Can I ask you a question?”
Seeing that Xiao Yufan had finally calmed down, Hu Yingluo took a deep breath and, recalling the scene when they left the private room, tentatively asked.
Nodding in agreement, Xiao Yufan couldn’t stay mad at her. He just hated being deceived. Since Cheng Ying left, his sensitive nature had become increasingly fragile.
“How do you know the owner of the Kempinski, the one who delivered something to you? And what’s your relationship with the Old Master Situ he mentioned?”
“I don’t know that man at all. As for the Old Master Situ he mentioned, he’s probably the master I told you about. My knowledge of feng shui comes from him.”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to hide anything. He didn’t think there was any harm in telling Hu Yingluo these things. However, he was increasingly curious about the Situ family. Was this the circle he was supposed to belong to? It seemed quite mysterious.
“So, you’re from the Situ family, and you have some connection with them?”
Hu Yingluo was visibly surprised. Having worked in Beijing for several years, she wasn’t naive about many things. She knew what the Situ family represented in the business world and had even interacted with members of the family.
“Maybe, possibly, probably, more or less, I guess there’s some connection.”
Xiao Yufan appeared nonchalant, but deep down, he might have already considered himself part of the so-called Situ family—he just didn’t want to admit it.
“Are you still angry? What’s with all this temper, big guy? It’s not like I really meant to…”
“Not like you lied to me, right? Do you think it’s amusing? I’m not some toy for you rich girls to play with!”
His face slightly cold, Xiao Yufan’s pent-up anger surged. Both Hu Yingluo and Ma Teng had gone too far, hiding so many things from him. That sense of helplessness made him feel quite upset.
“It’s not like I never had time to tell you all this. I was just afraid you’d overthink it. And I didn’t expect my stepmother would bring it up today!”
Hu Yingluo had never been so humble before. Aware of her own fault, she naturally couldn’t afford to appear too domineering. She could sense Xiao Yufan’s unusual mood and didn’t want to dwell on the matter any further.
“It’s not that you never had time, it’s probably that you never even considered telling me. Do you see me as a friend, or just a plaything to amuse you when you’re bored? If you want amusement, you can find someone else. I’m done playing!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t know why, but his temperament, which he had cultivated for years, had become so fragile in front of Hu Yingluo. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, that little girl had already left her mark…
The two kept a significant distance between them. Hu Yingluo wore a slightly pouting expression on her pretty face, looking every bit like a forsaken wife, drawing sidelong glances from passersby.
“You’ve vented your anger and let off steam… Now, are you feeling a bit better?”
After several minutes of silence, Hu Yingluo quickened her pace, catching up to Xiao Yufan. Her delicate hand gently tugged at his coat, looking very pitiful.
“I…” Xiao Yufan didn’t know what to say. The inexplicable anger gradually dissipated as he sensed Hu Yingluo’s tenderness. It was his pride acting up again—he didn’t want her to see him in such a shabby state.
“Can I ask you a question…”
Seeing Xiao Yufan finally return to his normal self, Hu Yingluo slowly calmed her emotions. Thinking back to the scene when they left the private room, she asked tentatively.
He nodded slightly in agreement. How could Xiao Yufan truly stay angry with this girl? He just hated deceit the most. Since Cheng Ying had left, his sensitive heart had become increasingly fragile.
Taking the letter from the visitor, Xiao Yufan didn’t even look back. He directly grabbed Hu Yingluo’s hand and walked outside, quickly disappearing around the corner.
Watching the still respectful owner of the Kempinski Hotel, Hu Yingluo’s father finally snapped out of his daze. He couldn’t understand why such a well-connected big shot would show such deference to a young man.
“Mr. Pan, I wonder who this young man named Xiao Yufan is. Do you know him?”
“I don’t know this young man, but I do know that he’s someone I absolutely cannot afford to provoke. Old Master Situ asked me to pass on a message to you: ‘Don’t bully the young for their poverty.'”
For someone like Hu Yingluo’s father, a nouveau riche, the owner of the Kempinski Hotel had no interest in engaging in conversation. Anyone who could successfully run a five-star hotel in Beijing undoubtedly had deep connections in the city.
Hearing this, Hu Yingluo’s father was struck by a wave of shock. The surname “Situ” was already uncommon, and anyone in Beijing’s business circles knew exactly what the Situ family represented.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan, who had already left the Kempinski, was completely unaware of what was happening. He was slightly frustrated, as the words from Hu Yingluo’s father and stepmother had thoroughly exposed his humble background.
“Are you still angry? What’s with all this anger? It’s not like I…”
“Not like you lied to me, right? Do you think this is fun? I’m not some toy for a spoiled rich girl like you!”
With a cold expression, Xiao Yufan’s pent-up anger surged forth. Both Hu Yingluo and Ma Teng had gone too far, keeping everything from him, and that sense of helplessness made him extremely uncomfortable.
“I just didn’t have the time to tell you everything, and I was afraid you’d overthink it. That’s why it turned out this way. I didn’t expect my stepmother to bring it up today!”

Xiao Yufan didn’t know why, but the composure he had cultivated over the years had become so fragile in front of Hu Yingluo. Perhaps it was because this girl had already left an impression on his heart…
The two of them kept a considerable distance between them. Hu Yingluo’s pretty face carried a hint of pique, resembling a resentful wife, which drew the occasional glance from passersby.
“You’ve had your anger, you’ve vented your frustration… Now, you should feel better, right?”
After a few minutes of silence, Hu Yingluo quickened her pace and caught up to Xiao Yufan. She gently tugged at his sleeve, looking utterly pitiful.
“I…” Xiao Yufan was momentarily at a loss for words. The inexplicable anger he felt slowly dissipated as he sensed Hu Yingluo’s tenderness. It was all his pride acting up; he didn’t want Hu Yingluo to see him in such a sorry state.
“Can I ask you a question…”
Seeing that Xiao Yufan had finally returned to normal, Hu Yingluo gradually calmed herself down. Recalling the scene when they left the private room, she tentatively asked.
Nodding in agreement, Xiao Yufan couldn’t possibly stay mad at this girl. It was just that he hated being deceived the most. Ever since Cheng Ying left, his sensitive state of mind had become increasingly fragile.
“How do you know the owner of the Kempinski, the one who delivered something to you? And what’s your relationship with the Situ family’s old master he mentioned…”
“I don’t know that person at all. As for the Situ family’s old master he mentioned, he’s probably the master I told you about. You should know that my skills in feng shui come from him!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to hide anything, and he didn’t think there was any harm in telling Hu Yingluo these things. However, he was growing increasingly curious about the Situ family. Was this the circle he was supposed to belong to? It did seem quite mysterious.
“So, you’re from the Situ family, and you have some connection to them…”
Hu Yingluo was visibly surprised. She had been working in Beijing for years and wasn’t ignorant of many things. She clearly understood what the Situ family meant in the business world, and she had even interacted with members of the family before.
“Maybe, possibly, probably, more or less, I guess there’s some connection.”
Xiao Yufan looked indifferent, as if he didn’t care, but deep down, he might have already considered himself part of the so-called Situ family. He just didn’t want to admit it…
“I don’t know that person at all. As for the old master of the Situ family he mentioned, he should be the master I told you about before. After all, my entire Feng Shui knowledge comes from him!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to hide anything, especially since he didn’t think telling Hu Yingluo these things would cause any issues. Yet, he grew increasingly curious about the Situ family. Was that truly the circle he was meant to belong to? It indeed seemed somewhat mysterious.
“So that means you are part of the Situ family, somehow connected to them…”
Hu Yingluo appeared very surprised. She had been striving in Beijing for not just one or two years, so she naturally wasn’t naive about many things. She clearly understood what the Situ family represented in business circles, and she had even interacted with them before.
“Perhaps, maybe, roughly, probably, I guess there might be some connection…”
Xiao Yufan maintained a calm, indifferent expression, as if he were unaffected. Yet deep inside, he might have already considered himself part of that so-called Situ family, though he was unwilling to admit it…
