When Xiao Yufan entered the manor, he finally understood what true luxury meant. The ancient architecture exuded a faint, elegant classical charm. The Dongfang family really knew how to enjoy life…
The high-end sports cars parked along the roadside could probably host a luxury car exhibition by themselves. No wonder the Dongfang Conglomerate was coveted by so many people—it was indeed incredibly wealthy. The interior decorations were even more extravagant than those of the Situ family.
Of course, the Situ family was accustomed to keeping a low profile, so even Xiao Yufan’s father—currently the head of the Situ clan—rarely appeared in public. Yet everyone knew how formidable the power behind such humility could be.
“Call off the two snipers nearby, otherwise I can’t guarantee their safety. I hate being threatened with guns the most. I believe Miss Dongfang is a smart woman…”
After entering the manor, Xiao Yufan sensed a hint of danger. Soon, he identified the source of the threat. Regarding the Dongfang family’s cautious measures, a faint cold smile surfaced on his lips.
Dongfang Yanran was first taken aback, then wore an expression of surprise. Xiao Yufan had been by her side all along—how could he possibly notice the assassins deliberately arranged by her father?
“I know more than you imagine. Throughout the entire manor, there are at least eight assassins, each possessing considerable strength. As for their positions, Miss Dongfang, I’m sure you know them better than I do!”
As if sensing Dongfang Yanran’s hesitation, Xiao Yufan lifted his head and smiled, his eyes carrying an indescribable meaning. His words caused Dongfang Yanran’s expression to subtly change.
“How did you find out about this?”
Dongfang Yanran made several hand signals in different directions. Only then did she realize she had underestimated this man from the Situ family. His air of complete control left her feeling somewhat powerless.
“Would you believe me if I said I guessed?”
Xiao Yufan countered with a question, clearly having no intention of revealing the truth to Dongfang Yanran. Although he wasn’t sure whether this woman was an enemy, he knew for certain she wasn’t a friend.
Dongfang Haoran had already been reduced to a cripple by him, yet this aunt showed no sign of displeasure. Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but suspect that her smiling face concealed deadly intentions.
“So, little brother doesn’t want to be honest with big sister? The more you act like this, the more interested I become in knowing you better!”
Without showing any displeasure at Xiao Yufan’s words, Dongfang Yanran let out a coquettish laugh, leaning slightly toward him. A subtle, seductive glint flickered in her eyes.
“Be my guest, just don’t end up getting yourself in trouble. Although Dongfang Haoran was somewhat of a beast, I wouldn’t mind taking down a beautiful woman either…”
After being teased repeatedly, even a saint would have lost composure. Let alone Xiao Yufan, who considered himself a lecher. Facing such a beautiful woman, the fact that he hadn’t made a move already was itself surprising.
“So you do have thoughts about big sister. If you’re willing, I’d like to see just how capable you really are…”
Dongfang Yanran responded in a soft, alluring voice, her words sending a chill down Xiao Yufan’s spine. This woman’s mindset was truly beyond normal comprehension. It seemed as if from the beginning, he had been led around by her.
“I’m afraid I don’t have the fortune to indulge…”
Swallowing hard, Xiao Yufan’s body reacted noticeably. This woman was like a reincarnation of Daji—so seductive and enchanting that he could barely suppress the surging desire to conquer her.
“Am I not as beautiful as your little girlfriend?”
“You’re very beautiful. It’s just that we’re not on the same path…”
Unwilling to continue dwelling on the topic, Xiao Yufan shook his head forcefully, his expression unusually strange. If this woman weren’t so attractive, he would have thought Dongfang Yanran was mentally unstable.
Continuing forward, Xiao Yufan ignored Dongfang Yanran, who was gritting her teeth. No matter how beautiful this woman was, she had nothing to do with him. He was here to cause trouble, not to flirt.
“A man capable of cornering Haoran like this—I’m very curious to see what kind of person he really is. There have been others who dared to flirt with me, but they’re all dead now!”
Her lips curled upward, the alluring red lipstick clearly visible. This seductive woman also had a cold, icy side—one Xiao Yufan hadn’t noticed yet. However, from the beginning, he had already realized one fact.
Dongfang Yanran and Tianxuan were of the same caliber, or perhaps equally matched in strength. The Dongfang family harbored such a formidable beauty, which amused Xiao Yufan. Could such a large family really rely solely on this woman?
Even if she possessed considerable strength, she was merely someone Xiao Yufan would take seriously. Even Tianxuan couldn’t fully grasp his abilities—how could this woman possibly pose any real threat to him? He had countless ways to instantly render this beautiful, seductive woman powerless.
Walking forward like this, a few minutes later, in the wide-open view, Xiao Yufan saw an old man and a middle-aged man. If he wasn’t mistaken, the old man was the true authority figure of the Dongfang family.
“Yanran, why are you so late? Did someone outside treat you poorly? I’ll settle the score with them later!”
The two walked directly over, and the pair engaged in their game finally stopped their actions. The old man glanced at Dongfang Yanran and spoke directly. Although he was speaking, his gaze frequently shifted toward Xiao Yufan.
Clearly, the Dongfang family patriarch was trying to leave a favorable impression on Xiao Yufan. Unfortunately, Xiao Yufan’s expression remained unchanged, which caused the middle-aged man to show dissatisfaction. A heavy, disdainful snort came from him—the young man was simply too arrogant.
Xiao Yufan was also observing the Dongfang family patriarch. In this man, he saw traces of his grandfather’s aura. Although the old man’s face bore the weariness of a life well-traveled, he still exuded an imposing, natural authority.
As for the middle-aged man beside the old man, Xiao Yufan felt no interest at all. From the murderous glare in the man’s eyes, Xiao Yufan vaguely sensed his relationship with Dongfang Haoran. So, he had beaten the son, and now the father had shown up. However, this man was utterly incapable of touching him.
Thus, the two sides observed each other in silence. No one spoke further. Then, at a certain moment, Xiao Yufan’s and the Dongfang patriarch’s gazes locked eyes…
