Ten minutes later, Liu Hua called back again. Obviously, the boss behind the scenes could no longer contain himself…
“Honey,” Xiao Yufan asked, “have people from the Northern Consortium already approached you?”
Xiao Yufan guessed he was probably right. If the Northern Consortium hadn’t shown up yet, that would have been the real surprise. This way, at least, he wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of tracking them down himself.
“Yeah, someone from the Northern Consortium just threatened me. They said what happened earlier was just a warning. If I have any sincerity, I should come to the Hongda Club to talk. But I don’t even know what happened earlier!”
“I’ve already taken care of the other issues. I’ll go with you from now on. Since the Northern Consortium dared to stir up trouble, they definitely can’t be let off easily!”
A faintly sinister curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Yufan’s mouth. He shook his head helplessly—why were there always so many people eager to die? Did they really think Beijing was a place they could come and go as they pleased?
“Mm.” Liu Hua didn’t say anything else, just softly replied in agreement. A warm feeling stirred in her heart, and she suddenly realized how nice it felt to be protected.
After saying goodbye to Fan Le, Xiao Yufan left. The Hongda Club wasn’t far from here. Coincidentally, that place was also under Fan Le’s control.
“Honey, I’m here now. Where are you?”
After arriving, Xiao Yufan took out his phone. But soon, he spotted Liu Hua’s graceful figure and continued, “Honey, I see you. Wait for me right there!”
He hung up and walked straight in. The security guard at the entrance slightly bowed his head respectfully, calling out, “Master Xiao…”
Xiao Yufan was slightly surprised, but quickly realized—Fan Le must have acted extremely fast. Still, he couldn’t help but enjoy this feeling.
Liu Hua had dressed up specially today. Her naturally flawless face bore a touch of charming allure, marking her complete transformation into a woman. This goddess in the hearts of all Beijingers exuded an indescribable charm.
Her purple dress paired with a white coat made her look like a celestial fairy descended to the mortal world. Such breathtaking beauty would surely draw admiring glances from every man.
Yet Liu Hua carried an icy, unapproachable aura, earning her the nickname “Ice Queen.” She was truly the kind of woman who could only be admired from afar, never to be trifled with.
Anyone with a bit of status in the capital would immediately recognize her—Beijing’s rare female business magnate, future matriarch of the Liu family, and the brilliant mind behind the string of miracles created by her company, Duxing.
But what happened next left many of Liu Hua’s admirers furious. They watched in disbelief as their goddess was suddenly wrapped in someone’s arm—and worse, she didn’t resist.
“Heaven help us! The world has gone mad—I’m going back to Mars!”
Many widened their eyes, glaring at Xiao Yufan with intense dislike. Their goddess belonged to everyone! How could she be claimed by just one man? What made it worse was that Xiao Yufan’s hands were shamelessly wandering over the body that every man dreamed of.
“What the hell is this little punk’s name? I demand a duel! Return my goddess to me!”
One man cried out in anguish, wishing he could trade places with Xiao Yufan’s hands in an instant.
“Idiot! If you don’t want to die, don’t mess with him!”
Two of his companions shrank back in fear, glancing nervously at Xiao Yufan. They had heard of this legendary figure before—better to anger a demon than offend the Young Master.
Looking at his companions with disdain, the man was about to mock them when he suddenly recalled the rumors about the Ice Queen—that she was a woman from the Situ family. If that was true, then this man must be none other than the legendary Young Master!
“Damn it!” The man nearly jumped, his mouth twitching violently. He felt immense relief that he hadn’t acted on impulse—he’d probably be lying on the ground already otherwise.
Feeling the unusual glances from the crowd, Liu Hua’s face flushed even more. A soft smile curled at the corner of her lips, revealing a hint of affectionate charm. At this moment, she was even more enchantingly beautiful.
“Behaving like a hooligan!” Liu Hua shot Xiao Yufan a sharp glance, but she was smiling as she said it—and she made no move to push him away.
Liu Hua had never imagined that she would be held in a man’s arms in public like this. But she didn’t mind it at all—in fact, she was enjoying it.
“Do you know where they are?” Xiao Yufan’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. Thinking of the Northern Consortium made his brows furrow involuntarily. They must have noticed them by now.
“They’re near the window…” Liu Hua’s eyes sparkled with amusement. Because as long as this man was by her side, she knew she would never be at a disadvantage.
They turned and walked over. One of the two men immediately stood up upon seeing Liu Hua, his expression filled with amusement and a hint of lust. They probably didn’t realize that, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, they were already marked for death.
“Miss Liu, I didn’t expect you to be so sincere after all!”
The man extended his hand, symbolically trying to shake Liu Hua’s hand. But she showed no intention of reciprocating, forcing him to reluctantly pull his hand back, thinking instead about how he could pin her beneath him.
“Since the Northern Consortium has gone this far, I naturally had no reason to refuse meeting you. But there’s one thing I don’t understand—why are you still smiling now…”
Trusting Xiao Yufan instinctively, Liu Hua believed that this man had already taken care of everything. Therefore, she spoke freely and boldly. If the Northern Consortium’s threats were no more than that, she had absolutely no reason to be afraid.
The two men from the Northern Consortium involuntarily stiffened. They couldn’t understand why this woman remained so calm at a time like this. Looking into Xiao Yufan’s icy gaze, a chill crept down their spines.
“Miss Liu, just hand over the agency rights to Tengyun Enterprises, and we won’t bother you anymore. You should be well aware of Duxing’s current situation…”
Though their hearts quivered with unease, the two men were not yet ready to give up. No matter what, they had to accomplish their mission. Otherwise, the Northern Consortium would become the laughingstock of the north. In the north, no one dared to defy the Northern Consortium’s people.
And they believed that with such a threat, this woman would surely have no choice but to submit…
