To avoid causing traffic congestion, Xiao Yufan wisely took the two women away from the company. The more people gathered, the more likely it would draw the attention of traffic police sooner or later…
Xiao Yufan didn’t mind being thick-skinned, but Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu would certainly feel quite uneasy being in such a public setting.
However, when the two women appeared beside that purple luxury sports car, Xiao Yufan once again faced a serious issue—one of those annoying problems that only arise between women.
“Hmph, I was wondering where you’d disappeared to this past year. Turns out you were off enjoying the company of beautiful women, forgetting all about Menglu… forgetting all about our family!”
When three perfect women meet, sparks are inevitable. Seeing Tianxuan sitting in the front passenger seat, Yu Yihan’s gaze turned colder.
Qin Menglu was also somewhat surprised, a bitter smile appearing on her lips. Suddenly, she felt a bit afraid—afraid that this girl who looked like an elf might have a closer relationship with Xiao Yufan than she did.
“Don’t judge the Young Master with your own assumptions. It’s okay for a woman to be less clever, but it’s better not to be overly presumptuous…”
Frowning slightly, Tianxuan wasn’t particularly fond of Yu Yihan. If it weren’t for Xiao Yufan, she wouldn’t even bother speaking to such a self-righteous woman. She held nothing but disdain for superficial beauties who were all looks and no substance. Yet she knew Xiao Yufan cared deeply for this woman.
“You…” Yu Yihan was momentarily speechless, her brows knitting together in displeasure. Seeing Xiao Yufan remain unmoved, she made as if to get out of the car, but was stopped by Qin Menglu pulling her back.
“Can we please stop this? If you don’t want to stay in the car, feel free to get out. No one will stop you…”
Three women in one car were like a stage play—absolutely true. Especially when Yu Yihan and Tianxuan were playing opposing roles. Instantly, Xiao Yufan felt his headache worsen, and without realizing it, he snapped.
Sensing Xiao Yufan’s mood, Tianxuan didn’t say anything further and quietly calmed down. Yu Yihan pouted, feigning a bit of resistance under Qin Menglu’s restraint, before finally turning her gaze sullenly toward the window.
Even Qin Menglu hadn’t expected Yu Yihan’s reaction to be so intense. Throughout the past year, her cousin had never shown any longing for Xiao Yufan, but she understood that somewhere deep in Yu Yihan’s heart, Xiao Yufan had always remained.
Meeting again after a year, Xiao Yufan had changed—more composed and mature. Yu Yihan had changed too, her elegant demeanor now possessing a new charm. Yet the one thing that hadn’t changed was their unspoken habit of bickering…
A wry smile curled his lips. Catching sight of Yu Yihan’s sulky expression in the rearview mirror, Xiao Yufan felt at a loss, the initial excitement of reunion slowly fading. He wasn’t sure exactly what his feelings for Yu Yihan were anymore.
Whether it was Lin Jiayao or Qin Menglu, Xiao Yufan had never openly expressed his love, yet both girls remained devoted to him. He had to admit—he had gradually grown fond of them…
The purple Maserati became a streak of light, vanishing instantly from the company’s entrance. As the wind rushed past, Xiao Yufan’s heart remained oddly calm.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat awkward. Xiao Yufan turned on the DVD player, soft music filling the cabin, slowly easing everyone’s tension. Without realizing it, a glimmer of moisture appeared at the corner of Yu Yihan’s eyes.
Fierce yet refined, Yu Yihan deeply felt that Xiao Yufan had truly changed over the past year—at the very least, he was no longer the frivolous young man he once was…
Spending a year grasping truths about life and survival that others might never understand in a lifetime, returning to this familiar land after twelve months, he now carried confidence without arrogance, bearing people’s expectations without conceit.
In just one year, Xiao Yufan had genuinely matured. Though no longer young and innocent, he had transformed from a youth into a real man…
Thinking back to the hellish past year, Xiao Yufan gave a bitter smile, staring blankly ahead. His captivating profile was enough to drive any woman wild, especially his eyes, which now carried a deeply alluring sense of weariness.
Just as his thoughts began to wander, a red Ferrari FX ahead suddenly caught his full attention. This ultra-luxurious supercar was itself undeniably eye-catching.
Of course, what truly drew his attention wasn’t the car itself, but rather the two fleeting figures inside. Seated within were none other than Liu Hua, who had once deeply hurt him, and Lan Yue, whose impression on him had been unforgettable…
“How come those two are together…”
Xiao Yufan murmured softly, a faint smile playing on his lips. What a coincidence! He hadn’t expected that on the very first day of his return, he’d run into them again.
What puzzled Xiao Yufan the most, however, was why these two women, seemingly from entirely different worlds, were together. Judging from their expressions, their relationship even appeared quite good…
Liu Hua, the woman who had driven Xiao Yufan to accept a year of hardship, was from the Situ family’s branch lineage. With pale and hollow words, she had once completely dismissed him. Frankly speaking, at that time, he himself hadn’t understood why he cared so much about the words of a complete stranger.
“Perhaps it’s fate’s arrangement, or maybe it’s just destiny!”
His eyebrows lifted playfully, his expression carrying a hint of mischief. Xiao Yufan wasn’t particularly fond of Liu Hua. If possible, he’d rather not interact with her at all. As for Lan Yue…
“If there were other women around me, would you still stay by my side?”
Glancing sideways, he saw Tianxuan sitting quietly beside him. Xiao Yufan felt a faint sense of guilt. He couldn’t deny his feelings for either Lin Jiayao or Qin Menglu, and he didn’t want Tianxuan to feel hurt because of other women.
Although Xiao Yufan’s attitude might seem a bit selfish, it was because he couldn’t bear to let go of any of these feelings. Call him a man enjoying multiple romances, or accuse him of being fickle—it was simply who he was, and no one could change that…
“You once said I’m your shadow. Then I will be your shadow forever. I don’t need any title or recognition. I only wish for your happiness!”
Tianxuan’s body trembled slightly as she softly responded. She understood that Xiao Yufan’s status meant more outstanding women would inevitably appear in his life. Fortunately, she had already entered this man’s heart—what more could she ask for?
Hearing Tianxuan’s words, the two women in the back seat stiffened almost simultaneously. Mist gathered in Qin Menglu’s eyes, her red lips tightly bitten to prevent tears from falling…
Xiao Yufan’s return brought Qin Menglu great joy, because she had waited for this day for a whole year. Yet now, she felt uncertain—uncertain about Xiao Yufan’s feelings for her after all this time…
