Chapter 62: Profoundly Mysterious

Xiao Yufan stayed alone in his room, perhaps due to exhaustion, and surprisingly fell into a deep sleep…

He had a very strange dream. In it, two thieves had entered his rented apartment. Or wait—maybe they weren’t really thieves. After all, have you ever seen thieves wielding shiny, gleaming knives?

Caught between reality and dream, Xiao Yufan felt extremely confused. Then, with a loud “bang,” he slowly opened his drowsy eyes, awakened by a sharp pain…

“Damn… Can’t even have a peaceful nap!” Rubbing his forehead after it had collided closely with the bed corner, Xiao Yufan winced at the piercing pain from the solid impact.

He was now fully awake. Recalling his dream and remembering a nearly miraculous premonition he’d had a few days ago, Xiao Yufan felt something might happen soon. Could it be that thieves would actually come to his apartment?

His rented apartment was located far beyond the Fifth Ring Road in a very remote area. Even common thieves would find it hard to reach here. Unless, of course, there was another possibility—that the “thieves” were targeting a person…

“Could it be that those who’ve been secretly causing trouble are planning something against Yu Han?”

Xiao Yufan deeply believed in his ability to foresee events. Like last time—if he hadn’t stopped Yu Han in time, who knew what might have happened.

Reflecting quietly, he realized their relationship had become increasingly strained. If he directly warned Yu Han that there might be danger tonight, she wouldn’t believe him—she might even think he was crazy. For a moment, he really didn’t know how to talk to her.

“My head aches… I finally understand. This woman must have appeared in my life just to torment me…”

Sighing deeply, Xiao Yufan knew he couldn’t just ignore everything. After all, if anything happened to Yu Han, he would definitely be implicated. Even aside from their personal connection, it was enough reason for him to temporarily set aside their differences.

Walking out of the bedroom, Xiao Yufan saw Yu Han watching TV in the living room. During these busy days leading up to the company’s stock listing, she seemed quite relaxed—this was the privilege of being the boss…

“Hey, I need to tell you something—something really important…” He plopped down on the sofa next to Yu Han and paused briefly before speaking.

“Just say it already…” Yu Han’s tone remained neither warm nor cold. To Xiao Yufan, it felt like his warm words were hitting cold ice…

“You should remember what happened the last time we went out for dinner. What if I told you I have the ability to foresee the future—would you believe me?”

“Who’d believe that? It was just a coincidence. Just say what you mean—why beat around the bush?”

Yu Han clearly didn’t believe him, giving Xiao Yufan a look that seemed to say he was an idiot. Such supernatural claims were hard for anyone to accept, especially since she thought almost nothing he said could be trusted.

“I…” Xiao Yufan was momentarily speechless. This wasn’t a conversation at all. If it were his old self, he would have stormed off, not caring what happened to Yu Han. But he wasn’t that impulsive anymore…

“Got nothing to say? Fine, then don’t hang around me and disturb my TV watching!”

“Miss, whether you believe me or not, I just want to tell you one thing: tonight, there will definitely be uninvited guests in our apartment—and I’m sure they’re targeting you…”

“Uninvited guests—you mean yourself? Since you won’t leave, I will then!” Yu Han stood up and pretended to head back to her room. Xiao Yufan’s presence really did interfere with her mood.

“I’m not lying to you. Trust my instincts—they’ve never failed me. I’m doing this for your own good. I can’t just watch helplessly as something happens to you…”

Xiao Yufan didn’t know how to make Yu Han believe him. He tried everything he could, even making his expression as sincere as possible. He had already expected that she wouldn’t easily trust him.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Yu Han stopped in her tracks, a faint smile playing on her lips. Truthfully, she did have a little faith in what Xiao Yufan said, as she recalled the many things told to her by a wise person before…

Seeing Yu Han halt, Xiao Yufan’s heart leapt with hope. He quickly shared his idea: since someone was targeting Yu Han, why not play a trick on the two “thieves” who would come to the apartment? At the very least, they should learn not to mess with them.

Xiao Yufan’s smile looked particularly sinister. Even Yu Han couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily. Strangely, she suddenly felt pity for those two “thieves.” Somehow, with Xiao Yufan by her side, she felt unusually secure.

Still, Yu Han had some doubts about Xiao Yufan’s seemingly supernatural foresight. Naturally, only the facts could verify this. So, after setting everything up, the two hid in the least noticeable part of the apartment, waiting quietly…
