Xiao Yufan finally realized that sometimes, accompanying a beautiful woman on an outing could also be a very uncomfortable experience, especially when it came to Qing Luan—he honestly couldn’t muster even a bit of enthusiasm.
Whether or not it had been Yi Han’s deliberate arrangement, he couldn’t say, but it was indeed annoying that Qing Luan and Xiao Yufan had ended up in the same car. He had originally hoped to avoid her at all costs, yet now there was no way to escape.
“Why the long face? Trying to scare someone?”
The more Xiao Yufan tried to avoid looking at Qing Luan, the more she seemed determined to engage him in conversation. Seeing his indifferent expression, Qing Luan’s temper flared.
“Miss, are you just feeling lonely? Why do you always insist on teasing me? If something were to happen by accident, you’d be fully responsible, got it?”
Giving her a fierce glare, Xiao Yufan was nearly driven mad by her antics. She was truly becoming too bold. If he continued to remain silent, his carefully cultivated image in front of the girls would surely be completely ruined.
“I thought you’d gone mute! So you can actually speak. Who do you think you are, being so aggressive? Be careful, or I might set your harem on fire…”
Pouting indignantly, Qing Luan refused to back down, staring straight at Xiao Yufan’s profile. Her smile carried a hint of something hard to define. Every man she had met had been exceptional, yet even she couldn’t quite understand why she was so intrigued by Xiao Yufan.
Speechless, Xiao Yufan wisely shut up. Though unsure exactly how this girl had convinced Yi Han, he dared not provoke her further. If she said anything else, it might spark a rebellion among the girls.
“Now you’re behaving. Tell your big sis, don’t you think I look pretty today?”
Seeing Xiao Yufan suddenly calm down, Qing Luan nodded in satisfaction. She twirled her long black hair, tied with a purple ribbon, and smiled sweetly.
“Please, if you keep trying to seduce me like this, who knows what else might happen!”
Tian Xuan, sitting quietly beside Qing Luan, simply watched the two without saying a word. Xiao Yufan being at a loss for words was actually quite amusing, and she couldn’t help but admire Qing Luan a bit.
“What? Are you planning to do something to me in front of all the little sisters? If you dare, I wouldn’t mind at all!”
Dressed in pink today, Qing Luan looked even more radiant. A delicate glow graced her fair face, making her irresistibly charming to any onlooker—except, of course, Xiao Yufan.
“Thanks, but I’m not really into flat-chested girls…”
Glancing at Qing Luan’s slim figure, Xiao Yufan smirked mischievously.
“Your chest is the flat one!”
Her face flushed red and then pale with indignation. Though she hadn’t felt much while teasing Xiao Yufan earlier, now that the tables had turned, she immediately felt a burning heat on her face.
“Okay, okay, you win…”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to continue this topic. He had promised Qing Yuanfeng not to cross that line—it was his principle.
Suddenly, the car jolted forward. Not yet seated properly, Qing Luan plopped down hard. Xiao Yufan had just turned his head, but the moment he did, Qing Luan immediately took it as blatant retaliation.
“I really don’t see why Yi Han and Meng Lu like you. You don’t even know how to treat a lady with tenderness…”
Regaining her composure, Qing Luan nearly exploded in anger. Fortunately, they were still in the car, so she didn’t act out too much. Still, Xiao Yufan clearly felt a sharp pinch on the soft flesh of his waist.
A chill ran down his spine, and his hand involuntarily trembled. In that moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to curse. There was no doubt in his mind—she must have learned this trick from Yi Han…
