As for this guy’s rather cheeky decision to stay, Xiao Yufan refrained from further comments. People often say that a quarrel may lead to mutual understanding, so he naturally needed to appear magnanimous.
Regarding the guy’s shameless decision to stay, Xiao Yufan didn’t say much more. Since it’s said that conflicts can lead to friendships, he naturally chose to be magnanimous.
“I never expected that Young Master Xiao, who hadn’t even reached the level of an internal force expert, would become a master of the condensed power realm in such a short time. It’s truly enviable!”
Seeing that the two had ceased their conflict, Steward An let out a long sigh of relief. This outcome was what he most desired. Fortunately, the young man from the Hong family wasn’t foolish and knew when to hold back.
“Old An, aren’t you also a hidden master? I was blind back then…”
Xiao Yufan had a favorable impression of Steward An. While adding flowers to brocade is good, offering help in times of need is what truly leaves a lasting impression. During the financial summit, Steward An had resolved many troubles for him, though Xiao Yufan knew it was actually Yingluo’s intention.
“Enough of that. I’m almost being left behind by you youngsters. I’m getting old…”
Steward An said with a half-smile. Although he was getting on in years, he was still robust. If he could break through to the post-natal realm, he would likely extend his lifespan.
“Hey, stop calling us youngsters all the time. If you keep acting like an old man, I can’t stand it!”
Hong Zhong, somewhat annoyed, looked at Steward An. They were friends despite the age difference, and such banter was something they could handle.
Initially, Xiao Yufan had some reservations about Hong Zhong, but he gradually realized that while the guy was a bit arrogant, he was at least genuine, probably much better than the young masters from hidden families. If he had no designs on his woman, he might be a friend worth keeping.
“Kid from the Hong family, do you believe I can throw you out of here?”
Steward An laughed and scolded Hong Zhong. Although Hong Zhong was at the peak of the condensed power realm, Steward An was half a step into the post-natal realm. If they really fought, the outcome would be uncertain.
“Fine, I won’t bully an old man. Besides, if I really bullied you, Yingluo would be upset, and if she’s upset, I’d be in trouble!”
Hong Zhong grinned, his eyes glancing at Xiao Yufan. Fortunately, Xiao Yufan didn’t react much when he called Yingluo “sister,” otherwise, if Xiao Yufan spoke up, he and Yingluo might not even remain friends.
“Mr. Hong, you must have something to ask my husband, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so leisurely!”
Yingluo glanced at Hong Zhong with her beautiful eyes, a charming smile on her lips. She knew this guy well and understood that he wasn’t one to stay idle. He must have something to do.
“Uh…”
Hong Zhong, who had been looking quite composed, suddenly changed his expression. Xiao Yufan was also taken aback. It seemed this guy really had something to ask for help with. No wonder he found him so strange.
“Sister Yingluo, can’t you just let me pretend for a while?”
It’s not wrong for a woman to be beautiful, but being too smart is not good, especially when she’s both beautiful and smart. Such women are hard to handle. For such an outstanding woman to be devoted to him, Xiao Yufan must possess great charm.
“Pretend all you want, but I’ll tell you this first: don’t mess with my husband, or I’ll make sure you don’t have a good time even if you go back to England…”
Yingluo’s smile carried a hint of a little fox, but it was a blatant threat. Faced with such a threat, Hong Zhong dared not say anything. How pitiful…
Seeing the two weren’t going to fight anymore, Old An sighed in relief. This outcome was what he was happiest to see. Fortunately, Hong family’s young man wasn’t foolish either, knowing well when to hold back.
“Old An himself is also a master of hidden talents. Back then, it was just this junior’s lack of insight…”
Regarding the shameless decision of this guy to stay, Xiao Yufan didn’t say much more. Since the saying goes that “no discord, no concord,” he naturally had to show some magnanimity.
“I never expected that Young Master Xiao, who hadn’t even reached the level of an internal force expert, would become a master of the condensed power realm in such a short time. It’s truly enviable!”
Seeing that the two had ceased their conflict, Butler An couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. This outcome was what he most desired. Fortunately, the young man from the Hong family wasn’t foolish and knew when to restrain himself.
“Old An, you’re also a hidden master, aren’t you? I was just too blind to see it back then…”
Xiao Yufan had a favorable impression of Butler An. While adding flowers to brocade is nice, offering help in times of need is what truly leaves a lasting impression. During the financial summit, Butler An had resolved many troubles for him, though he knew it was actually Yingluo’s intention.
“Enough of that. I’m almost left in the dust by you youngsters. I’m getting old…”
Butler An said with a half-smile. Although he was getting on in years, his body was still robust. If he could break through to the postnatal realm, he would surely be able to prolong his life.
“Hey, stop calling us ‘youngsters’ all the time. If you keep flaunting your age, I won’t stand for it!”
Hong Zhong looked at Butler An’s expression and spoke with some annoyance. He and Butler An were friends despite their age difference, and they could afford to joke like this.
Initially, Xiao Yufan had some reservations about Hong Zhong, but he gradually realized that although this guy was a bit arrogant, he was at least genuine. He was probably much better than those hidden family’s young masters. If he had no designs on his woman, he might be a friend worth making.
“Young man from the Hong family, do you believe I could throw you out of here?”
Butler An looked at Hong Zhong and laughed while scolding. Although Hong Zhong’s strength was at the peak of the condensed power realm, Butler An was genuinely half a step into the postnatal realm. If they really fought, it would be hard to say who would win.
“Fine, I won’t bully an old man. Besides, if I really bullied you, Sister Yingluo might get upset, and if she’s upset, wouldn’t I be in trouble?”
Hong Zhong grinned, his peripheral vision always on Xiao Yufan. Fortunately, this guy didn’t show much emotion when he called Yingluo “Sister,” otherwise, if Xiao Yufan spoke up, he and Yingluo might not even remain friends.
“I say, Hong, you must have something to ask my husband, right? Otherwise, how could you be so leisurely?”
Yingluo glanced at Hong Zhong with her beautiful eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips. She knew this guy well and understood that he wasn’t someone who would stay idle. His staying must mean he had something to do.
Uh…
Hong Zhong, who had been looking quite self-assured, suddenly changed his expression. Xiao Yufan was also taken aback. It seemed this guy really had something to ask for his help. No wonder he found this guy so strange.
“Sister Yingluo, can’t you just not expose me? Let me pretend for a while!”
It’s not wrong for a woman to be beautiful, but a woman who is too smart is not easy to handle, especially one who is both beautiful and intelligent. And for such an outstanding woman to be devoted to him, Xiao Yufan must possess great charm.
“Pretend all you want, but I’ll tell you first, don’t get any ideas about my husband, or I’ll make sure you don’t have a good time even if you return to England…”
Yingluo’s smile carried a hint of a little fox’s cunning. This was indeed a blatant threat, and faced with such a threat, Hong Zhong didn’t dare to say anything. How pitiful…
“Please, I’m nearly left behind by you young folks nowadays. Getting old…”
Regarding this guy’s shameless decision to stay, Xiao Yufan didn’t say much more. Since the saying goes that “no discord, no concord,” he naturally had to appear magnanimous.
“I never expected that Young Master Xiao, who hadn’t even reached the level of an internal force expert back then, would become a master of the condensed power realm in such a short time. It’s truly enviable!”
Seeing that the two had ceased their conflict, Steward An let out a long sigh of relief. This outcome was what he most desired. Fortunately, the young man from the Hong family wasn’t foolish and knew when to hold back.
“Old An, you’re also a hidden master, aren’t you? Back then, I was just a junior with poor judgment…”
Xiao Yufan had a favorable impression of Steward An. While adding flowers to brocade is certainly a good thing, offering help in times of need is what truly leaves a lasting impression. During the financial summit, Steward An had resolved many troubles for him, though Xiao Yufan knew it was actually Yingluo’s doing.
“Enough of that. I’m almost being left in the dust by you youngsters. I’m getting old…”
Steward An said with a half-smile. Though he was getting on in years, his body was still robust. If he could break through to the post-natal realm, he would likely extend his lifespan.

Initially, Xiao Yufan had some reservations about Hong Zhong, but he gradually realized that while the guy was a bit arrogant, he was at least genuine. He was probably much better than those hidden family’s young masters. If he had no designs on his woman, he might even be a friend worth having.
“Young man from the Hong family, do you believe I could throw you out of here?”
Steward An laughed and scolded Hong Zhong. Although Hong Zhong was at the peak of the condensed power realm, Steward An was a half-step into the post-natal realm. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would win.
“Fine, I won’t bully an old man. Besides, if I really did bully you, Yingluo would probably be upset, and if she’s upset, I’d be in trouble!”
Hong Zhong grinned, his gaze subtly fixed on Xiao Yufan. Fortunately, Xiao Yufan didn’t show much reaction when he called Yingluo “sister,” otherwise, if Xiao Yufan spoke up, he and Yingluo might not even remain friends.
“Mr. Hong, you must have something to ask my husband, right? Otherwise, why would you be so leisurely?”
Yingluo glanced at Hong Zhong with her beautiful eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips. She knew this guy well and understood that he wasn’t one to idle around. His staying must mean he had something to do.
“Uh…”
Hong Zhong, who had been looking quite composed, suddenly changed his expression. Xiao Yufan was also taken aback. It seemed this guy really had something to ask for his help. No wonder he found him so peculiar.
“Sister Yingluo, do you have to expose me like that? Let me pretend for a while longer!”
There’s nothing wrong with a woman being beautiful, but when she’s too smart, it’s not easy to handle, especially when she’s both beautiful and intelligent. For such an exceptional woman to be devoted to him, Xiao Yufan must possess immense charm.
“Pretend all you want, but I’ll warn you now—don’t get any ideas about my husband, or I’ll make sure you regret it even if you go back to England…”
Yingluo’s smile carried a hint of cunning, like a little fox. It was a blatant threat, and faced with such a threat, Hong Zhong didn’t dare to say a word. How pitiful…
“Hey, can you stop acting so senior? I can’t stand watching you show off your seniority anymore!”
Hong Zhong looked displeased as he spoke, observing Old An. He and Old An could be considered friends across generations, so they could afford such banter.
Although he initially had some resentment towards Hong Zhong, Xiao Yufan gradually realized that although this guy was a bit arrogant, he was at least genuine and sincere. He was probably much better than those spoiled sons from hidden aristocratic families. If he had no intentions toward his woman, he would indeed be a friend worth having.
“You Hong family kid, do you want me to throw you out from here…”
Regarding this guy’s shameless decision to stay, Xiao Yufan didn’t say anything more. Since it’s said that conflicts can lead to friendships, he naturally wanted to appear magnanimous.
“Who would have thought that Young Master Xiao, who hadn’t even reached the level of an internal strength master, would become a master of the condensed power realm in such a short time? Truly enviable!”
Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, Steward An let out a long sigh of relief. This outcome was what he most desired. Fortunately, the young man from the Hong family wasn’t foolish and knew when to rein himself in.
“Old An, you’re also a hidden master, aren’t you? I was blind back then…”
Xiao Yufan had a favorable impression of Steward An. While adding flowers to a brocade is nice, offering help in times of need is what truly leaves a lasting impression. During the financial summit, Steward An had resolved many troubles for him, though Xiao Yufan knew it was actually Yingluo’s doing.
“Enough of that. I’m about to be left in the dust by you youngsters. I’m getting old…”
Steward An said with a half-smile. Though he was getting on in years, his body was still robust. If he could break through to the post-natal realm, he would surely extend his lifespan.
“Hey, stop calling us ‘youngsters’ all the time. If you keep acting like an old man, I won’t be able to stand it!”
Hong Zhong, somewhat annoyed, looked at Steward An. The two were friends despite their age difference, and such banter was something they could handle.
Though Xiao Yufan had initially harbored some reservations about Hong Zhong, he gradually realized that while the man was a bit arrogant, he was at least genuine. He was probably much better than the young masters from hidden families. If he had no designs on Xiao Yufan’s woman, he might even be a friend worth having.
“Young man from the Hong family, do you believe I could throw you out of here?”
Steward An laughed and scolded Hong Zhong. Though Hong Zhong was at the peak of the condensed power realm, Steward An was half a step into the post-natal realm. If they were to fight, the outcome would be anyone’s guess.
“Fine, I won’t bully an old man. Besides, if I really did bully you, Yingluo would be upset, and if she’s upset, I’d be in trouble!”
Hong Zhong grinned, his eyes flickering toward Xiao Yufan. Fortunately, the man didn’t react much when he called Yingluo “sister.” Otherwise, if Xiao Yufan had spoken up, he and Yingluo might not even remain friends.
“Mr. Hong, you must have something to ask of my husband, right? Otherwise, why would you be so leisurely?”
Yingluo glanced at Hong Zhong with her beautiful eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips. She knew this man well and understood that he wasn’t one to idle around. His staying must mean he had something to do.
“Uh…”
Hong Zhong, who had been looking quite composed, suddenly changed his expression. Xiao Yufan was also taken aback. It seemed this guy really had something to ask for help with. No wonder he had seemed so odd.
“Yingluo, can’t you just let me pretend for a while?”
It’s not wrong for a woman to be beautiful, but when she’s too smart, it becomes a problem—especially when she’s both beautiful and intelligent. Such women are hard to handle, and for such an exceptional woman to be devoted to him, Xiao Yufan must possess immense charm.
“Pretend all you want, but I’ll tell you this: don’t get any ideas about my husband, or I’ll make sure you regret it even if you go back to England…”
Yingluo’s smile carried a hint of cunning, and her words were a blatant threat. Faced with such a threat, Hong Zhong dared not say a word. How pitiful…
“Alright, I won’t bully the elderly. Besides, if I really messed with you, Yingluo might get upset. If Yingluo gets upset, then I’d be the one in trouble!”
Hong Zhong grinned, glancing sideways at Xiao Yufan. Luckily, the guy didn’t seem to react strongly when he heard him call Yingluo “Yingluo sister.” Otherwise, if Xiao Yufan had confronted him openly, he and Yingluo might not even be able to remain friends.
“I said, Mr. Hong, you surely must have something you want from my husband, right? Otherwise, why would you be so idle!”
Yingluo cast a glance at Hong Zhong with her beautiful eyes, a charming smile forming on her lips. She knew this guy well, understanding that he wasn’t someone who had nothing better to do. His decision to stay must mean he had something he needed to do.
Uh…
Hong Zhong, who had been wearing a relaxed expression just moments ago, immediately changed his expression. Xiao Yufan was also slightly taken aback. It seemed this guy indeed had something he wanted his help with. No wonder he had found the guy’s behavior strange all along.
“Yingluo sister, couldn’t you just pretend not to see through me? Let me enjoy pretending for a while!”
It’s not wrong for a woman to be pretty, but it’s troublesome if she’s too smart. Especially if she’s both beautiful and intelligent—it’s even harder to handle. And to have such an exceptional woman fall for him, Xiao Yufan must possess extraordinary charm.
“Do whatever pretending you want, but let me warn you in advance: don’t even think about my husband, or I’ll make sure you regret going back to Britain…”
Spot on. Yingluo’s smile carried a hint of fox-like cunning. Yet this was clearly a blatant threat. Facing such a threat, Hong Zhong dared not say much in response—how pitiful…
