When Cheng Ying mentioned that woman, Xiao Yufan finally recalled—the beautiful beauty he had successfully ignored back then…
At that time, all his attention had been focused on Ying’er; he had no time to look at other women. Yet, even with just a fleeting glance, he had noticed a certain flicker of emotion in her beautiful eyes.
“I don’t even know who that woman is. How could she possibly have feelings for me? I’m sure my Ying’er is just imagining things!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t think he was that charming—how could a woman fall for him upon their first meeting? Perhaps it was just her intuition that was overly sensitive, which made Ying’er say what she did.
“If you knew who she really was, maybe you wouldn’t think that way…”
Giggling softly, Cheng Ying sent Xiao Yufan a charming glance. Her warm, gentle smile was like a refreshing spring breeze. Looking at her like this stirred in Xiao Yufan a deep urge to cherish and protect her in the palm of his hand.
Uh!
After being severely injured by that old dog from the Gu family, Xiao Yufan had remained unconscious for a long time and knew absolutely nothing about what had happened at the martial arts tournament. He didn’t even know who had made it into the top ten.
“That woman is named Wang Yuxuan. If I’m not mistaken, she should be from the hidden Wang family.”
“Oh, the hidden Wang family… Hmm?”
Xiao Yufan’s smile immediately froze. The hidden Wang family—wasn’t that the Changbai Mountain Wang family? Since when had Wang Wei’s family produced such a formidable figure, and even more so, a beautiful woman?
“Hey, don’t tell me that Wang Yuxuan is actually Wang Wei’s half-sibling from a different mother!”
After his initial surprise, Xiao Yufan quickly thought of Wang Wei’s mysterious younger sister. Yet he couldn’t quite connect the image of that enigmatic young woman with one of the top ten martial artists at the tournament.
“As far as I know, that’s exactly who she is!”
Cheng Ying playfully stuck out her tongue, her smile carrying the mischievousness of a little fox. In her heart, though, she felt a quiet sense of relief—back then, this man had devoted his entire heart and soul to her, naturally leaving no room to notice another woman.
“The hidden Wang family has such a beloved and gifted daughter. If she had been born a boy, the Wang family’s status among the hidden clans would surely have soared dramatically!”
He couldn’t help but sigh. With Wang Yuxuan’s strength—being among the top ten—if she had been born male, she could have brought great glory to the hidden Wang family. But alas, she was a woman.
Still, Wang Wei wasn’t weak either. Although, judging from what Xiao Yufan had just heard, he probably acted like a grandson in front of his sister.
If Wang Wei had known what Xiao Yufan was thinking, he would have been utterly impressed. No wonder he’s the young master—able to know exactly what others are thinking. Regardless of whether his little sister had talent or not, he really did act like a grandson around her.
Who could blame him, though? That little sister was just so beautiful and endearing. Within the hidden Wang family, she was the center of everyone’s affection, receiving incomparably better treatment than he, the half-adopted elder brother.
“Perhaps this trip to the mysterious place in the South Sea will bring another reliable ally. Although, it seems another innocent girl might fall into a certain rogue’s gentle trap…”
Cheng Ying’s lips curled slightly into a pouting smile mixed with mild reproach. Yet to Xiao Yufan, hearing those words felt oddly uncomfortable—he had unintentionally become the “rogue” again.
It seemed like she was being overly sensitive. After all, they had only met once, and there was nothing between them yet. Still, if gaining a strong ally for the upcoming journey to the mysterious southern sea was possible, that was definitely good news.
After all, even Xiao Yufan himself had no idea what awaited them this time…
