Xiao Yufan sped through the streets and soon arrived at Fan Le’s bar. This guy lived a life of luxury and indulgence every day, rarely ever showing signs of worry or distress. He was a classic example of a rich second-generation heir, possessing many things that others could only dream of…
“Brother Fan, you’ve finally arrived! If you hadn’t shown up soon, my little place here might’ve been torn apart!”
Seeing Xiao Yufan appear at the doorway, Fan Le eagerly rushed forward, his tone full of flattery. Glancing at the young man sitting cross-legged behind him, his mouth twitched slightly—this guy had been causing trouble non-stop since he arrived…
“Who is it that wants me gone? I wasn’t even aware! And there are so many people here who apparently know me!”
Without wasting words, Xiao Yufan cut straight to the point, his gaze sweeping across everyone in the room. He didn’t recognize anyone…
“It’s me who wanted to see you…”
Before he could fully withdraw his gaze, a figure appeared within his line of sight. Earlier, Fan Le had blocked his view, preventing him from noticing the man. Now, seeing the slightly familiar back, a faint smile curved his lips.
“Again you?” Xiao Yufan’s expression subtly changed. This person was none other than the one who had been at the karaoke bar with Guo Chenyang and others. But now, the man seemed less like a ruffian and more like a young aristocrat…
“Why not me? Are you afraid to see me?”
Yue Lin walked toward Xiao Yufan, a faint, barely noticeable smile on his face. Back then, his testing had been on behalf of Liu Hua, trying to find a suitable man for her. Now, looking at this man before him, he felt that Xiao Yufan was indeed worthy of her.
“Afraid? That word doesn’t seem to exist in my dictionary…”
Xiao Yufan’s smile turned slightly amused. He wasn’t sure what this guy was up to, but his instincts told him that Yue Lin had a purpose for seeking him out. Since Yue had close ties with Liu Hua, was this visit related to her?
“You’ve got style. I like that…”
Yue Lin laughed more openly, though his manner was bold, it wasn’t unpleasant. That was also one of the reasons Xiao Yufan hadn’t taken offense when Yue had tested him before—he was straightforward and not scheming, and such people rarely meant harm.
“I’m not into guys, so cut the crap. What do you want?”
Brushing aside the tension between them, Xiao Yufan casually sat down on a nearby chair. His posture resembled that of a spoiled young master, but both Fan Le and Yue Lin knew better—this man was far more complex than he appeared. After all, who would dare call the head of a powerful enterprise a mere playboy?
“Besides matters concerning Liu Hua, do you think I’d have any reason to seek you out?”
Yue Lin countered with a question, his eyes shifting slightly. He had come because of Liu Hua. Although Cheng Jingran feared Xiao Yufan’s power, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try something again. Xiao Yufan had the strength to deter him, but Liu Hua didn’t…
“What happened?”
Xiao Yufan’s brows furrowed slightly as the image of Liu Hua’s exquisite face surfaced in his mind. A faint ripple stirred in his heart. They could have had a good thing going, but because of that incident, they had drifted further and further apart. Even he wasn’t sure exactly how he felt about her anymore.
“Her company, SoloNet, is facing serious problems, but she refuses my help. She’s been trying to hold on by herself. I think only you might be able to convince her otherwise…”
Yue Lin didn’t hold back, stating the truth plainly. He was certain Xiao Yufan would help, because he knew—deep in Liu Hua’s heart, this man held a very special place…
