Xiao Yufan and Qin Menglu were chatting animatedly, while the two bodyguards behind them listened intently, fearful of any mishap befalling Qin Menglu.
“Brother Fan, when we get off later, do you think you could help me shake off these annoying guys? They’ve been following me all the way!”
As they became more familiar with each other, Qin Menglu started calling Xiao Yufan “Brother Fan.” Naturally, Xiao Yufan—who considered himself a bit of a pervert—had no intention of refusing. After all, having a beautiful girl trailing behind calling him “Brother Fan” secretly thrilled him.
“You’re not afraid I might kidnap and sell you, are you? There are plenty of human traffickers in Beijing; I bet a beauty like you could fetch a great price!”
He stared at her lustfully, a lecherous grin on his face, provoking the urge in anyone nearby to punch him senseless.
“Brother Fan is definitely a true gentleman who cherishes and protects beautiful women. How could you ever sell off such a cute and adorable girl like me? Keeping me to warm your bed would be way better than selling me!”
Qin Menglu said pitifully, though it was hard to imagine that they had only met a few hours ago. Her boldness completely overturned Xiao Yufan’s first impression of her. As they grew closer, Xiao Yufan realized this girl definitely had a rebellious streak.
He broke into a cold sweat, not expecting Qin Menglu to be so direct, though his curiosity about her background only grew stronger.
One’s demeanor often reflects their status, and Qin Menglu exuded a noble grace that could only come from generations of refinement. It was rare to find such an outstanding woman, and the fact that she traveled with two bodyguards only added to the mystery—such treatment was certainly not reserved for just anyone.
“Getting rid of them is no big deal, but you should at least tell me where you’re headed…”
“I was bored at home, so I snuck out to visit my cousin. She’s amazing! Her company has been thriving under her leadership. I don’t know exactly where her office is, but I can call her once we get there!”
Qin Menglu held nothing back from Xiao Yufan. Although Xiao Yufan seemed a bit flippant, she didn’t think he was a bad person.
Worried that the two bodyguards might overhear their conversation, they leaned in close, whispering into each other’s ears. Feeling the delicate fragrance of her youth, Xiao Yufan’s heart raced with excitement.
“This high-speed train really is a great place for a chance encounter…”
He yawned lazily, recalling his previous encounter with Yu Yihan on a train, and couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. However, Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu were completely different in personality.
“Huh? What did you say?” Qin Menglu asked hesitantly, not catching his muttering. Perhaps realizing their posture was too intimate, she shifted uncomfortably.
“Nothing. The train is about to arrive at the station. Get ready. Those two bodyguards aren’t fools—they’ll stick close behind us, making it hard to escape…”
Glancing sideways at the two guards who had started to grow alert, Xiao Yufan smiled. Dealing with a little troublemaker like Qin Menglu must be quite a challenge for them. But since the beauty had already turned to him for help, he’d naturally see it through to the end.
…
“Damn, I’m already grown up, yet I still have to play hide-and-seek again…” Thinking about what was about to happen, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but chuckle. Life was indeed full of ups and downs.
The train finally came to a slow stop at the station. The two bodyguards, still unaware of what was coming, sat leisurely in their seats. As long as Qin Menglu didn’t move, they wouldn’t budge either.
Qin Menglu rolled her eyes and made a weak, ineffective fist at them. She had been extremely annoyed at being watched all the way, and if it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t possibly beat them in a fight, her good manners would have long been thrown out the window.
“Hey, kid, why do you have your legs stretched out so far? You nearly made me trip! Don’t you know that even a good dog doesn’t block the way?”
A commotion suddenly erupted near where the two bodyguards were sitting. Xiao Yufan secretly rejoiced—extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures, and spending a little money to find someone to distract the bodyguards was a pretty good idea.
Taking Qin Menglu’s slightly chilly hand, Xiao Yufan rushed past the two guards. As they exited, Qin Menglu couldn’t resist sticking out her tongue at them. Although this distraction was only temporary, it was more than enough. It was only a matter of time before they completely lost those two.
After running for quite a while, Xiao Yufan was already getting tired. Just as he was about to sit down and rest, he suddenly spotted the two bodyguards again in the distance!
“Come on, give it a rest! You guys are way too dedicated!” Shrugging helplessly, Xiao Yufan grabbed Qin Menglu’s hand again and dashed toward the busiest part of the station…
