“In such a remote wilderness, I can still see my dear cousin. Seems like we really are in sync. But now that you see I’m unharmed, aren’t you disappointed?”
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qiao Chuxi’s face showed a hint of anger. How could she not know that he had gone to such lengths just to prevent her from seeing her grandfather one last time—going so far as to have someone kidnap her…
“How can you say that, dear cousin? Everyone misses you and hopes you’ll come back. Grandfather has been waiting for you…”
The newcomer’s expression wavered slightly, his face darkening. Indeed, he had not wanted his cousin to return so soon, which was why he had resorted to such measures. Yet today’s events had spiraled beyond his control.
“Is that so? If someone hadn’t rescued me, I would’ve already been violated by that guy Tong Lei. Dare you deny that this was your doing?”
Within that cold family, affection had become extremely thin. When faced with interests and benefits, even blood ties proved utterly powerless. That’s why she left Linjiang—not wanting to fight over inheritance…
But she had nearly missed seeing her grandfather for the last time, and Qiao Chuxi gradually realized one truth: just because she chose not to fight or compete didn’t mean others would let her be.
“Let’s go home first. There are some things I could explain, but you wouldn’t listen anyway…”
The man offered no further explanation, knowing full well his cousin wouldn’t hear him out. Yet the fact that the Lei gang had secretly interfered meant he definitely wouldn’t let this go.
“I’ll go back first then… Thank you…”
After hesitating briefly, Qiao Chuxi decided to return with Qiao Zhendong. After all, she wanted to see her grandfather as soon as possible. And she believed that even if this cousin plotted something behind her back, he wouldn’t dare show his hand too openly in front of her.
“No need to thank me. I’ll be thanking my lucky stars if you don’t tag along behind me. It’d be a shame if my girl misunderstood something!”
Xiao Yufan had been silently watching the two scheming relatives with little to say. Only when Qiao Chuxi spoke did he react, delivering a single sentence that nearly made the beauty from Linjiang lose her composure entirely.
“Narcissist! Thug! Pervert! You can just die already!”
All gratitude vanished from her heart. Qiao Chuxi glared at Xiao Yufan furiously. If looks could kill, he would have died countless times already.
Yet Qiao Zhendong appeared somewhat amused. He had never seen his cousin so angry. Judging from the situation, it seemed this man had saved her, so why were the two of them at each other’s throats like rivals?
“If I were a pervert, I wouldn’t have intervened earlier. Watching a free erotic show might have been quite pleasant for me!”
Xiao Yufan gave Qiao Chuxi a dismissive glance, unwilling to argue with this woman. She had no curves to speak of—neither chest nor hips. Even if she threw herself at him, he’d probably hesitate before deciding whether to accept or not.
Turning around, he strode in another direction. Within moments, Xiao Yufan vanished from their sight, his speed astonishing. Fortunately, aside from the two of them, no one else witnessed this strange scene.
“Cousin, who is that guy? How could he remain so indifferent in front of such a beautiful woman? I almost admire him!”
A gleam flickered across Qiao Zhendong’s face before he casually asked. Although Xiao Yufan had ruined his plans, if not for his sudden appearance, he might have ended up taking the blame…
“Just a voyeur. Don’t let me see him again. If I do, I’ll make sure he regrets it…”
Qiao Chuxi glared in the direction Xiao Yufan had disappeared, clenching her teeth in hatred, wishing she could tear that man apart. However, having witnessed Xiao Yufan’s terrifying abilities, she could only dream about it.
After leaving, Xiao Yufan quickly reached the temporary residence of Tian Xuan and the others. He had to admit, Lin Pingle had done a rather reliable job, arranging everything meticulously.
“Boss Fan… you’re back…” Upon seeing Xiao Yufan appear, Qing Luan rushed forward immediately. However, before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan’s hand had already gently landed on her delicate frame.
“Just been away a few hours, and Luan’er already misses me so much? Did I not satisfy you enough last night?”
Qing Luan’s blushing expression stirred Xiao Yufan’s desires. Ever since they had crossed that final threshold, every night he had explored her body, never seeming to tire of it.
“Yueyue is still here. Can I give you more tonight? Alright?”
As they whispered sweet nothings to each other, Qing Luan’s body quivered slightly, her face turning red from ear to ear. Under Xiao Yufan’s openly lustful gaze, she felt her entire body warming up.
“Let’s go out for a walk tonight. Haven’t really familiarized myself with Linjiang’s surroundings yet.”
Coughing lightly, Xiao Yufan eased the awkward atmosphere. Meeting Blue Yue’s beautiful eyes, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat. Being intimate with Qing Luan in front of this girl seemed rather unfair to her…
“Great! Great! Anyway, there’s nothing much to do!”
Escaping Xiao Yufan’s grasp, Qing Luan playfully glared at him before walking over to Blue Yue. Tian Xuan stood aside, her fair face always carrying an enchanting smile.
Blue Yue nodded as well, avoiding Xiao Yufan’s eyes. Yet deep inside, she felt a tinge of resentment, “This big pervert really knows no restraint…”
Though not as bustling as the capital, Linjiang’s night was still lively and colorful. Strolling with three beautiful women brought a unique charm of its own. However, the stunning appearances of Qing Luan and the others drew many envious glances. Though people could only feast their eyes, it still brought them a kind of visual satisfaction.
“I wonder how that woman is. Did Boss Fan manage to rescue her?”
Qing Luan suddenly remembered Qiao Chuxi. Xiao Yufan hadn’t said much upon returning, so her intuition told her something must be off. Facing such a beauty, if Xiao Yufan had remained unaffected, it would be unlike him.
“A conceited woman who always thinks that if someone glances at her, they must want to rape her. So boring…”
Xiao Yufan yawned, showing no interest in that Qiao family’s eldest daughter. Not only did she show no gratitude, but she had even labeled him a pervert. If he kept trying to please her with warm words and actions while receiving cold treatment in return, then his head must have been crushed by a doorframe.
“So Boss Fan actually cares about others’ opinions of you? Seems like that beauty must have something special after all. But Yi Han told us to keep an eye on you. If you find more women here in Linjiang, watch out—she might not let you into bed when we go back!”
Qing Luan laughed joyfully. Seeing Xiao Yufan at a loss was quite a rare sight. She was just a little curious—what exactly had that woman done to provoke such a reaction from Xiao Yufan…
