“Qin Lou, stop right there! Do you really think this place is your home?”
Seeing the man charging forward, Qing Luan’s heart skipped a beat. Although this guy was reckless, at least he was a black belt in Taekwondo, and she worried that Xiao Yufan’s physique might not be able to handle it.
However, soon after, Qing Luan’s mouth formed a large ‘O’ shape in astonishment. She saw the two barely make contact before Qin Lou’s body was literally ‘launched’ outward…
Yes, launched. In the blink of an eye, nobody even knew what had happened before they heard the heavy thud of someone hitting the ground.
“He’s ruthless…”
The onlookers sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw Qin Lou’s face-first landing, astonished not only by Xiao Yufan’s explosive strength but also thoroughly impressed by his skills.
“Believe me, if it weren’t for Qing Luan, you wouldn’t even have the privilege to stand back up again…”
Xiao Yufan’s arrogance left Qing Luan momentarily stunned. Before her previous shock had faded, a new wave of amazement surged within her. She realized she had seemingly overlooked something extremely important.
Struggling to his feet, a trickle of blood ran from the corner of Qin Lou’s mouth, making him look eerily sinister. Under his venomous gaze, everyone felt a chill run down their spines…
Despite his recklessness, he was now sober enough to realize that confronting Xiao Yufan head-on would bring him no benefit but only further humiliation. Thinking this, he already plotted how to deal with Xiao Yufan later.
“Some things are never meant to be yours. Even if you forcefully take them, it holds no meaning. It’s better not to be too ostentatious in life…”
Xiao Yufan murmured sideways, seemingly unaffected by having beaten this man named Qin Lou, as if it were an ordinary occurrence…
With his sharp intuition, Xiao Yufan clearly knew that Qin Lou would not let this go easily. From what little Lin Ping had mentioned, he could sense the man’s formidable influence within the company.
“I hope you know when to back off. I really don’t want to deal with you right from the start of my time here…”
Watching Qin Lou leave in humiliation, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but sigh. After sighing, he turned his gaze back to Qing Luan, his gentle and refined aura giving off a warm feeling.
“Now that the ordinary pests are gone, I wonder if the young lady still stands by what she said earlier…”
“What did I say? I seem to have forgotten…” Qing Luan looked down, her delicate fingers entwined, giving her a more elegant appearance, while a sudden blush on her pretty face became even more noticeable.
“Aren’t you the one who just wanted me to accompany you a while ago? How could you forget so quickly? Are you planning to discard the bridge after crossing the river?”
“I would never… discard the bridge…”
Her shy voice trailed off into an inaudible whisper. Qing Luan felt somewhat dizzy. Being gazed at affectionately by a man in public made her feel shy and embarrassed.
Hearing this, Xiao Yufan inexplicably felt excited, while Qin Lou, who had just walked a few steps away, paused in his tracks. What he feared most was Qing Luan getting too close to any man, and now it had actually happened.
But then Xiao Yufan encountered an awkward situation. After all, he couldn’t really ask Qing Luan to take the train, could he? That would seem too shabby…
“It seems I need to find some time to settle the matter of a house and a car. Although I shouldn’t appear too ostentatious, being too frugal isn’t good either. It would definitely affect my tall and mighty image…”
Xiao Yufan secretly thought he must handle the basics first. However, distant solutions wouldn’t help immediate needs, and the situation he now faced was somewhat awkward.
“My cousin asked me to bring the car to you. Remember to come home early tonight; we’re waiting for you…”
Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss, Qin Menglu arrived driving a Mercedes-Benz SLK convertible, not forgetting to give him a final reminder. To the two, it was a normal occurrence, but to Qing Luan, it felt different.
Unaware of Qing Luan’s feelings, Xiao Yufan immediately took her into the car. Since he now had the opportunity to be alone with this girl, he wouldn’t let it go easily. Even if nothing happened between them, just looking at her was quite pleasant.
As the sports car disappeared from everyone’s sight, Qin Menglu and Yu Yihan appeared together at the spot where Xiao Yufan had left.
“You said it’s all because I spoil him. But didn’t you spoil him too? Since when did my cousin become so generous, lending your car to them?”
Qin Menglu couldn’t understand why Yu Yihan would lend the car to Xiao Yufan. Letting the latter suffer a setback in front of Qing Luan could have ruined their relationship, and this instead helped Xiao Yufan.
“You think you know everything. If I hadn’t given the car to that big pervert, how else could we make Qing Luan back off? If we let him develop unchecked, we’d end up needing an entire reinforced squad to deal with him…”
“Oh… so my cousin is asserting ownership? Clever…”
After Yu Yihan gave her a hint, Qin Menglu finally understood. However, this girl was still half a beat behind, and she couldn’t help but admire her cousin for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
Of course, Xiao Yufan had no idea what was happening at this moment. He only knew that when the two bodies were so close, his body couldn’t help but react strongly. Her fragrant breath sent his heart racing.
Through the rearview mirror, Xiao Yufan carefully observed Qing Luan. Her beautiful face combined with her alluring curves, which countless men could only dream of, was hard to resist. If it were someone with average self-control, they would have been bleeding from the nose by now.
The reason Xiao Yufan could hold on this long was largely because of his immunity to beauty. Whether it was Yu Yihan or Lin Jiayao, they were all goddesses in men’s minds. Their existence had made Xiao Yufan’s standards increasingly demanding…
Battling his surging desires, Xiao Yufan even dared not fix his gaze on Qing Luan’s delicate figure, fearing he might do something inappropriate. They had only known each other for less than a day; this speed seemed a bit too fast.
Turning off the car’s dash cam, Xiao Yufan finally calmed himself. This little girl was truly a temptation, and he somewhat regretted agreeing to accompany Qing Luan…
