Securing the cooperation was actually something expected, yet Liu Hua felt a strange sensation. She always felt that Dongfang Yanran had somehow helped her behind the scenes…
Stepping out of Tengyun Enterprise, Xiao Yufan let out a long sigh of relief. He clearly felt somewhat restrained in front of Dongfang Yanran’s mother.
“So even the daughter of the Dongfang family has fallen for you at first sight…”
At the thought of Xiao Yufan’s extraordinary charm with women, Liu Hua suddenly felt a tinge of jealousy. Her lips curled into a charming smile, her tone carrying a hint of mock reprimand.
“Isn’t our Liu Hua also smitten with me at first sight?”
From her expression, it was clear that Liu Hua wasn’t truly angry. With her capabilities, she naturally had a thorough understanding of the women around Xiao Yufan. She had accepted him, and accepted the reality that many women surrounded him. Once a woman truly falls in love, she no longer dwells on such matters.
“Don’t flatter yourself! All men are the same, creatures ruled by their lower instincts…”
Indeed, their initial encounter hadn’t involved love at first sight. Perhaps due to the Liu family’s influence, Liu Hua had been deeply wary of Xiao Yufan. Yet, had it not been for the existence of the Liu family, the two of them might never have come together.
“How do you know I’m ruled by lower instincts? Men think with their upper halves too—it’s just that when thinking gets tiring, they resort to the lower half!”
Xiao Yufan said with a grin, his eyebrows lifting playfully. His tone carried a teasing edge. Since he had decided to accept this girl, he naturally intended to mold her a bit.
“Excuses, excuses. I’m too tired to believe you…”
A delicate blush surfaced on her fair face. Were it not for the daylight, he would have devoured her right then and there. Being with such a beauty and yet unable to make a move was, for him, a kind of torment.
“When are you heading back to the capital?”
Xiao Yufan originally thought he’d have to stay in Guan Gang for a few more days, but now it seemed two days would suffice. Once matters in Guan Gang were settled, Liu Hua would probably return.
“I’m going back tonight, because there are still some matters to handle with Du Xing…”
Liu Hua gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a soft smile playing on her lips. Truthfully, staying in Guan Gang tonight wouldn’t be a problem, but she wasn’t ready to give in to this lecher just yet—after all, what comes easily isn’t cherished.
“So you’re in such a rush to leave? I came all this way, and if I return, it would only be to Linjiang…”
Xiao Yufan shook his head, having seen through Liu Hua’s thoughts. Was he really that frightening?
“Anyway, Linjiang is very close to the capital. If you want to return, you can do so anytime. Besides, the capital isn’t only home to me…”
Her gaze drifted slightly, her hands clasped together, her pretty face appearing unusually serene. Accustomed to living alone, having someone suddenly by her side made her feel somewhat uneasy.
“Then when I return next time, could you consider things using your lower half?”
His voice was bold and carried a mischievous tone. Liu Hua’s face flushed deeply, the redness spreading to her ears. In her heart, she kept wondering, couldn’t this lecherous man be a little more reserved?
Still, she nodded. If she was destined not to escape him, then why should she run? Apart from being a bit of a womanizer, this man seemed to excel in every other way.
If a year and a half ago Liu Hua had thought this man unworthy of her, then today, a year and a half later, this man had proven to everyone that he was worthy of any woman.
Whether it was Lin Jiayao, Dongfang Yanran, or Yu Yihan, each of them was exceptionally outstanding. Liu Hua felt no confidence in surpassing them, but there was one thing that set her apart from other women—she had given this man the most unforgettable memory…
