“No means no. Anyway, I don’t need your tenderness. As long as my woman is tender to me…” Xiao Yufan casually wrapped his arm around Jiang Rou’s delicate, tender body as he spoke softly. Truthfully, he had intended to provoke the woman—he couldn’t let her run wild without limits.
Surprisingly, Jiang Rou suddenly felt a bit uneasy. But upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, she immediately grew quieter. She really liked hearing him say those words: “She is my woman.” Only then did she feel at peace.
“Pervert! Hooligan…”
Inside, Qiao Chuxi cursed Xiao Yufan countless times. Her eyes brimmed with slight anger, yet she didn’t want to give this man the satisfaction. If she showed her fury, wouldn’t she be playing right into his hands?
“Am I not gentle enough…”
Her voice suddenly turned extremely soft, causing Xiao Yufan to shiver involuntarily. This woman’s mood swings were faster than flipping a book. Who knew what mischief she was planning now.
However, since this woman had thrown herself into his arms, how could he possibly refuse? Freeing his other hand, he wrapped his arm around Qiao Chuxi as well, embracing both beauties without a care for the onlookers.
A fleeting blush crossed Qiao Chuxi’s face, but she forced herself not to push Xiao Yufan’s hand away. After all, she was a public figure in Linjiang, and being openly held by him instantly drew everyone’s attention…
“Wow, who is this guy? He’s incredible! He’s not only won over Miss Qiao, but he’s also got another stunning beauty by his side!”
“Even if you’re enjoying the company of two beauties, is there a need to flaunt it so openly? How are the rest of us supposed to feel? Brothers, can you stand to watch this? I sure can’t!”
It was already outrageous enough for him to be hugging two gorgeous women, but to do so brazenly in public had already stirred discontent among the crowd, though they only dared to grumble…
“You fool, if you really can’t stand it, why don’t you go confront him? Don’t you know who that man is?”
Someone behind mercilessly mocked, clearly recognizing Xiao Yufan. After all, aside from being a prominent figure in Linjiang, the mere title of Young Master of the Shadow Sect was enough to deter most people.
“Who is he…”
The person clearly hadn’t caught on yet, but he wasn’t stupid. Anyone who could win over Miss Qiao must be no ordinary man.
“If you dare to say a word to him today, you might end up dead on the street tomorrow. He is the underground king of all Linjiang…”
The speaker couldn’t help but sound proud. After all, not everyone had the privilege of knowing such a legendary figure, so he exuded a sense of superiority while speaking.
“No way!” The man’s face changed, and he could already imagine what would happen if Xiao Yufan had overheard his earlier words—he might not live to see the next day.
Everyone gazed at Xiao Yufan’s back with a mixture of fear and fascination. They had just witnessed the legendary figure himself, and even if nothing else, they now had enough bragging rights for future conversations.
Of course, Xiao Yufan had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he was thoroughly enjoying himself, surrounded by softness and warmth, almost getting lost in the moment.
Qiao Chuxi, however, felt something different. She had to admit that being in this pervert’s arms felt oddly safe, but seeing another breathtakingly beautiful face beside her made her feel strangely conflicted.
Even though she had gradually accepted the fact that Xiao Yufan had many women around him, she had never imagined she would end up by his side in this way—not even out of spite.
Jiang Rou, on the other hand, slowly recovered from her initial shyness, her heart brimming with sweetness. She knew Xiao Yufan already had several women like Lin Jiayao and Yu Yihan around him, so adding Qiao Chuxi into the mix didn’t seem like a big deal…
Glancing secretly at Jiang Rou, Qiao Chuxi found herself moved by the girl’s innocent charm. Though she had no idea how Xiao Yufan had managed to win such a beautiful girl over, she was convinced he must have used some despicable method.
“Feeling quite comfortable hugging me, aren’t you…”
Once they had walked out of the crowd, the blush on Qiao Chuxi’s face gradually faded. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and a slight smile curved her lips. Then, her delicate hand shot straight to the soft flesh on Xiao Yufan’s waist.
“Yes…” Before Xiao Yufan could even react, he felt a sharp pain. Instantly, he felt like cursing. Why did all women seem to have mastered this technique? He hadn’t expected it at all, and even with the sudden twist, he had managed not to jump.
“Please, Miss Qiao, you were the one who threw yourself at me. I didn’t force you. Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that I’m just that handsome?”
Xiao Yufan muttered somewhat awkwardly. He felt Qiao Chuxi slipping away from his hold, leaving a strangely empty feeling behind. Fortunately, Jiang Rou, the sweet girl, was considerate enough not to leave at this moment…
“Who would throw herself at you! I…”
Just as Qiao Chuxi was about to speak, she suddenly sensed something was off. If she continued, wouldn’t she end up dragging Jiang Rou into this? She quite liked this girl, so she didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable.
“What I mean is, I would never throw myself at you. I just didn’t want to give you the satisfaction…”
Qiao Chuxi realized that talking to this man always messed with her thoughts. She was glad they weren’t living together—otherwise, she feared she might go mad one day.
“Wasn’t that exactly what you did? I don’t recall forcing Miss Qiao, did I, Rou’er? Tell her!”
Shrugging innocently, Xiao Yufan deliberately turned to his side for support, but only received a glare from Jiang Rou. He could only cough awkwardly—seemed like even this sweet girl could be disobedient sometimes.
“Hooligan! Pervert…”
Feeling taken advantage of by Xiao Yufan, Qiao Chuxi could only grumble a bit to ease her frustration before turning and walking in another direction. She didn’t even want to look at this man anymore—there was simply no reasoning with him.
“A woman’s heart is as deep and unfathomable as the ocean floor. You’ll never know what she’s thinking…”
Xiao Yufan muttered softly to himself, his lips twitching involuntarily. This woman was truly unpredictable. For a moment, he even questioned whether agreeing to Old Qiao’s request had been the right decision.
“It’s obvious she really likes Boss Fan, she just doesn’t know how to express it. With enough patience, Boss Fan will be fine.”
“What about you, Rou’er?”
“I… I’ve always liked Boss Fan…”
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s follow-up question, Jiang Rou hesitated briefly before gently clasping her hand, her eyes lighting up with a touch of radiance as she softly replied…
