The Qiao Group could be said to have suffered no losses at all and had gained many new assets for free, which naturally was a good thing for the Qiao family…
The development of Huihuang in the north could be considered to have broken the ice. After all, the Qiao Group now could be seen as the representative of Huihuang. With the Bai family’s presence, Huihuang wasn’t fighting alone in the northern business world.
After the Lei Gang eliminated the Qingyun Society and the Dongling Chamber of Commerce, the Dark Sect had essentially taken control of the entire Dongling area. Although a force like the Dongling Chamber of Commerce could never be completely wiped out, without its underground influence, the organization was now just a regular business group.
Thinking of what had happened in Guangan, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but recall that little vixen. The Financial Club had moved north along with Huihuang’s expansion—Xiao Yufan wondered how far it had developed by now…
Dongfang Yanran’s expertise in finance likely rivaled anyone’s. The growth of the Financial Club was unquestionable, and with the vast stage the north provided, it would allow her even more room to shine.
Thinking it over, Xiao Yufan decided to give Dongfang Yanran a call first. In his opinion, the Financial Club could serve as a significant asset.
“Little brother, are you missing me already? How come you have time to call your big sister instead of staying with your little wife? Or are you looking for something new? I’m waiting for you, you know!”
As soon as the call connected, Dongfang Yanran’s teasing words came pouring out. Xiao Yufan immediately felt the urge to strangle the little vixen on the spot. What did she mean by “something new”? Did she really want to become his woman that badly?
“I just wanted to ask how the Financial Club is doing in the north…”
Xiao Yufan could only force himself to reply, his mouth twitching slightly. He had already grown afraid of talking to this little devil—it was nothing short of torture.
“The northern stage suits the Financial Club far better than a single city like the capital. As I told you, I will definitely make the Financial Club a strong support for you. I won’t slack off. But I wonder when my little brother will finally let me become your woman?”
Here she went again…
Xiao Yufan felt a headache coming. Although this woman was extremely talented, she was still from the SITU family. He had dealt the Situ family a heavy blow. Even if she held grievances against her own family, she shouldn’t keep throwing herself at him like this.
But truthfully, he wouldn’t mind claiming her. After all, Dongfang Yanran was more mature than any of the women around him, exuding a unique charm and allure. She was the kind of woman every man would dream of. If she hadn’t been so forward, Xiao Yufan wasn’t sure he wouldn’t have pursued her himself.
But now, after being teased by this little vixen, he had completely lost interest…
“You don’t need to answer me now. Anyway, sooner or later, I will be your woman. You can’t escape from me!”
Dongfang Yanran’s voice remained as enchanting as ever, yet now it carried a hint of determination. It was strange to hear a woman speak so resolutely, but Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. It seemed that being too attractive was not always a good thing.
After ending the call, Xiao Yufan dialed Yu Yihan’s number…
“Honey, when will you finish handling the matters with LUNHUI? I miss you all…”
Thinking of Yu Yihan’s perfect, delicate face on the other end of the line, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a smile. Although the capital had mostly stabilized, there were still many things to handle, so Yu Yihan, Qin Menglu, and others had to remain there temporarily.
“I miss you too, but we can’t come to Linjiang just yet. Wait a little longer, okay?”
Yu Yihan’s voice remained as gentle as ever. For her, just knowing that he missed her was enough. Since she couldn’t stop Xiao Yufan from having more women around him, she could only accept it calmly.
“But hurry up, without you here I’m so bored…”
Toward this woman who had been with him the longest, he had a special affection. Sometimes, he preferred to show her the softest side of his heart.
A soft “Mm” came from the other end, and a warm current passed through Yu Yihan’s heart. But recalling the last time she had gone to Linjiang and how insatiable he had been, her cheeks flushed slightly red.
“Honey, Lan Yue came back a while ago, and I noticed she’s changed a lot. You didn’t… you know… already taken her, did you? Because she’s becoming more and more enchanting…”
A moment later, Yu Yihan continued, although Lan Yue hadn’t said anything, she could guess the reason behind her transformation. She just hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to open his heart so quickly.
“Uh…”
The direct question made Xiao Yufan a little embarrassed, his voice faltering slightly. This girl’s observation was too sharp.
“You don’t have to say anything—I already know. Since you’ve already done it, you must take responsibility. I don’t want any of my sisters to get hurt. Besides, Lan Yue is such a quiet girl. If it weren’t for meeting you, she could have lived like a princess!”
Yu Yihan’s tone carried a hint of reproach, though it quickly faded. After all, she was a soft-hearted woman.
“I will make all my women the happiest princesses in the world!”
Xiao Yufan said softly, a gentle smile forming on his lips. He wanted every woman by his side to be the happiest. What was the point of gaining everything if he couldn’t bring happiness to the women he loved?
“I believe you…”
Those three simple words conveyed Yu Yihan’s deepest feelings. Everything Xiao Yufan had done was moving in that direction, and she believed her man would one day stand at the peak.
“I’ll take care of Lan Yue, so don’t worry too much. Once you settle things in the capital, we’ll come to you!”
Yu Yihan was a smart woman. She got along well with every woman around Xiao Yufan and clearly understood the role she should play.
“I’ll wait for you all!” Xiao Yufan said no more. As long as his women were happy, that was enough for him. After hanging up, he called Lin Jiayao and Qin Menglu one after another…
After finishing all the calls, Xiao Yufan finally stretched his stiff body. Recent events had overwhelmed him, and he suddenly felt exhausted.
But before he could even rest for a moment, the phone rang again. Xiao Yufan frowned slightly—surely there was no one left who needed to call him? However, when he saw the familiar name on the screen, all his complaints vanished. It had been a while since he last spoke to Jiang Rou…
