Chapter 98: Showing Off Like This

An entire bustling street appeared to hold only the two of them in Xiao Yufan and Qin Menglu’s eyes. Fortunately, during the most beautiful season, they had encountered each other—their most beautiful chance meeting…

“Yufan, do you think our meeting counts as fate?”

Qin Menglu’s eyes regained some of their luster. Her tempting lips curled lazily into a slight smile, and combined with her shapely figure, Xiao Yufan instantly felt a surge of passion rise within him.

“From the very beginning, our meeting was destined to be fate. Who could have imagined that a chance encounter on the bullet train would lead to so much that followed…”

Meeting Qin Menglu’s gaze, Xiao Yufan’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat. He hadn’t yet figured out how to handle his feelings, and still preferred to keep their relationship in a vague, innocent state.

Sensing Xiao Yufan’s evasive eyes, Qin Menglu smiled knowingly. After spending several days together, how could she not understand him by now? Some things are better left unspoken—for now, she was willing to wait…

“See this everyone? This is my fiancée… Huh? Why is she with another guy?”

Just as the two were enjoying the peaceful moment, a discordant voice abruptly cut through the air. Xiao Yufan’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, while Qin Menglu’s face darkened with annoyance.

Slowly shifting their gazes, they saw a group of suspiciously-dressed individuals approaching. The speaker was clearly the leader, flanked by a punk-styled young girl.

“Qianyun, who exactly is your fiancée? Don’t speak so recklessly. Besides, who I’m with is none of your business…”

Qin Menglu’s smile carried a hint of disdain. This Qianyun merely relied on his family’s wealth, idling his days away while indulging in womanizing. How could she not be furious knowing her father wanted her to marry someone like him?

“Heh! Got quite a temper on you, huh? In a few days, you’ll belong to me, and I’ll show you exactly how to become a real woman. As for this pretty boy beside you, we’ll see whose family can actually save your dad’s company—his or mine…”

Scolded by Qin Menglu, Qianyun’s drunkenness momentarily lessened. He wasn’t stupid—he understood this girl held no interest in him whatsoever. But he didn’t care. He didn’t want her heart; he only desired the body that so often drove him wild.

His face darkened, eyes glistening with tears, Qin Menglu was instantly overwhelmed by his presence. That feeling of helplessness made her feel deeply wronged—yet what could she possibly do?

“Just another poor little daddy’s boy, in my eyes no better than trash. Barking around here only proves you’ve abandoned even the most basic dignity…”

Xiao Yufan gently grasped Qin Menglu’s delicate hand, his eyebrows slightly raised. He merely glanced at the arrogant youth, clearly not even considering him worth a real conversation. In his eyes, this was just another spoiled rich kid who thought the world revolved around him.

“Pretty boy, who the hell are you talking about?” Qianyun pushed away the girl supporting him and directly approached Xiao Yufan, his face contorted with rage. How dare someone humiliate him openly on his own turf? His temper would never allow him to swallow this insult.

“Are you really unclear about who I’m talking about? You really think you’re the emperor of the world?” Xiao Yufan remained indifferent to Qianyun’s hostility, though to the others, this attitude appeared excessively arrogant. Several of them were already itching to move…

“Fine, fine, fine! You’re tough!” Qianyun suppressed his anger, not yet allowing fury to cloud his judgment. If someone dares to act arrogant, they might actually have the reason to. Despite his own audacity, he still had the ability to recognize strength—Xiao Yufan was clearly someone who had the right to be arrogant.

“Here’s 300,000 for you to leave my woman. I guarantee you can live comfortably in Chenghai. Otherwise, I can’t promise you’ll still be intact tomorrow…”

Qianyun pulled a check from his jacket pocket, his expression smug. In his mind, there was nothing money couldn’t solve, so he had already concluded that 300,000 was more than enough to buy off this pretty boy.

“300,000?” Xiao Yufan grinned mischievously before turning to Qin Menglu, whose expression had turned icy cold. “Unknowingly, your price just went up by another 300,000. Tell me, if I keep you here, do you think I could get 800,000 in total—including the 500,000 from your dad? I’m pretty broke, you know…”

Her expression somewhat comical, Qin Menglu couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon seeing Xiao Yufan’s expression. That single laugh exuded unparalleled charm, so much so that even the womanizer Qianyun was completely captivated by it.

“If you’d like to keep embarrassing yourself here, by all means, don’t leave. But from today on, don’t ever call me your fiancée again—I have absolutely nothing to do with your Qian family!”

“Do you think your father will agree to that? Don’t forget, it was your father who agreed to this marriage. You can’t just back out now. You can’t escape. Just be my woman obediently—I’ll show you how enjoyable being a woman can truly be.”

Qianyun was completely furious now, his lecherous gaze fixed on Qin Menglu’s shapely body, his mind already filled with perverted fantasies of how he’d make this woman suffer for humiliating him.

“Leave. Get out of my sight within three seconds. Otherwise, I’ll return every word you just said to you!” Xiao Yufan had no patience left for this guy. His cold, arrogant smile carried bone-deep chilliness, his sharp rebuke snapping Qianyun out of his fantasy.

“F*ck! Daring to show off to me? I’ll teach you what it means to be the real emperor around here!” After a moment’s hesitation, Qianyun finally reacted, erupting into a rage. The others immediately surged forward. When the master gets humiliated, the dogs must bark too…
