Wow!
With these words, a surge of anger exploded in Xiang Jinghui's heart.
His eyes, filled with rage, were bloodshot as if stained with blood.
"Hall Master ng, what do you an by this? This is an internal matter of our Red Dragon Association, and it's not even settled yet. How could you hand over the item to an outsider?"
Unable to hold back anymore, Xiang Jinghui rushed over to question him.
Smack!
ng Wantang didn't even look, casually swung a big slap across his face.
Xiang Jinghui was stunned by the slap.
He couldn't believe ng Wantang dared to hit him in public.
In the Red Dragon Association, internal conflict is a serious cri.
Even if there were disputes between different halls on regular days, they were always handled privately and never openly.
ng Wantang's actions undoubtedly violated the rules of the Red Dragon Association.
But, ng Wantang was indifferent, only saying lightly, "Get lost!"
Xiang Jinghui covered his face, his anger felt like it would burn through the ceiling.
"Bumpkin, so things are not for you to touch. If you dare touch them, I assure you, you'll die miserably!"
Xiang Jinghui didn't dare to vent his anger at ng Wantang, so he targeted Qin Chuan instead.
"Hey, I'm not the one who hit you. What's the point of threatening ?"
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes exasperatedly, then took the Nine Dragon Pill Furnace and Yin Yang Beads with dignity.
If threats like Xiang Jinghui's were effective, Qin Chuan would have died hundreds of tis by now, so he wasn't afraid at all.
Seeing the Yin Yang Beads in Qin Chuan's hand, Xiang Jinghui gave ng Wantang a wary glance.
"Let's go!"
These words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
The farce also ca to a temporary pause with his departure.
"Mr. Qin, how about we talk sowhere else?" ng Wantang invited with a smile.
Qin Chuan nodded.
As the saying goes: don't hit a smiling face.
After all, she helped him get the Nine Dragon Pill Furnace, it's only right to give her so respect.
Before long, ng Wantang led Qin Chuan and a few others to a tea room downstairs in a hotel.
Old Man Jiang, knowing they had sothing to discuss, tactfully left with Wen Yaxin.
Only Qin Chuan and ng Wantang were left in the tea room.
ng Wantang personally prepared the tea.
Dressed in a qipao, she exuded an aura of grace and elegance with every movent.
Coupled with the retro decor of the tea room.
She looked like she'd walked out of a landscape painting.
Making Qin Chuan feel like he was in the water towns of Jiangnan, witnessing the beauty and gentleness of Jiangnan won, pleasing to the eye.
"Thank you."
Qin Chuan accepted the fragrant tea offered by ng Wantang.
"About yesterday, I apologize for any offense caused. I hope Mr. Qin can forgive ." ng Wantang said gently.
Qin Chuan nodded, saying nothing, then silently picked up the wooden box containing the Yin Yang Beads and handed it to ng Wantang.
Additionally, he also handed over two bank cards he had carried with him.
"I'll consider the Pill Furnace as bought, you can keep the Prayer Beads."
Qin Chuan didn't want to owe ng Wantang any favors, especially since she was with the Red Dragon Association.
The reason he accepted the beads earlier was just to see Xiang Jinghui's furious expression.
As for the beads' purpose, he secretly examined it and found it contained an Array.
However, this Array's function was mainly for protection and calming, not very useful to him.
Moreover, once he progressed to the Foundation Establishnt stage, he could make this kind of Magical Artifact himself.
There really was no need to owe a favor for it.
"Since Mr. Qin doesn't want them, I'll keep them for you. You can co to get them anyti you need." ng Wantang didn't force it.
Her considerate deanor was a far cry from the person who indiscriminately captured people the day before.
ng Wantang casually placed the beads and bank cards aside, then looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, I have an unusual request."
"Go ahead."
Qin Chuan sipped his tea.
"I want you to be my daughter's father."
"Pfft!"
Qin Chuan couldn't hold back, and the tea in his mouth sprayed out like a shower.
Sitting across from him, ng Wantang was instantly drenched, with a large wet patch on her qipao front.
Embarrassed, Qin Chuan quickly grabbed a couple of tissues to help wipe her down.
"Uh..."
After a few wipes, Qin Chuan realized he was touching her chest.
Imdiately, Qin Chuan blushed, hastily handed the tissues to ng Wantang, and awkwardly sat back down.
ng Wantang wasn't in any better shape.
Having been sprayed in the face, she was a bit stunned, and now the young man nearly a generation younger than her, using tissues on her chest.
The unexpected scenario caught her off guard.
Now that she regained her senses, two blushes crept onto her cheeks, making her look slightly embarrassed.
If it weren't Qin Chuan, if it had been soone else, her slap might have long landed on the other person's face.
"Ahem..."
Qin Chuan shifted his gaze evasively, quickly changing the topic: "Hall Master ng might want to find soone else. The doctor says I have a strong stomach and can't live off soone else."
A man should live honorably in this world, how could he live off a woman?
What a joke.
With that, ng Wantang chuckled.
The beauty smiled with grace and charm.
Her chest heaved gently, emanating the matured allure unique to a woman.
"Mr. Qin, you've misunderstood. I just want you to pretend to be my daughter's father, to fulfill her wish." ng Wantang explained with a smile.
"Ah..."
Qin Chuan's expression stiffened, awkwardly curling his toes.
"You could have been clearer with your words..." Qin Chuan muttered a small complaint.
"My husband passed away in an accident four years ago, Nannan hasn't even seen her father."
Taking a sip of tea, ng Wantang said with a sorrowful tone, "Nannan's father was a doctor. Ever since she woke up yesterday, she kept insisting on wanting her father, saying her father saved her, so..."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan understood: "So your invitation for a al was also because of this?"
ng Wantang nodded: "It won't take up too much of Mr. Qin's ti. Just et her once, then tell her you need to go abroad for a business trip."
Looking at the Nine Dragon Pill Furnace still on the table, Qin Chuan hesitated for a mont.
"It's alright, but..."
Before Qin Chuan could finish, ng Wantang expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Qin. Ti is of the essence, let's set off now, Nannan is waiting for us."
"Huh???"
Qin Chuan was taken aback. Not so soon, please?
At least give him so ti to adapt to the role of a father.
Qin Chuan felt overwheld. However, a promise was a promise, and there was no taking it back.
Helplessly, he entrusted the Nine Dragon Pill Furnace to Old Man Jiang, asking him to take it back to the dical clinic, then got into ng Wantang's car himself.
"Please stop for a mont."
Midway, Qin Chuan suddenly spoke up.
"What's the matter?" ng Wantang was puzzled.
"I need to buy sothing."
Leaving a quick explanation, Qin Chuan opened the car door.
Soon, he returned with a small cake and a pink plush toy.
"First eting, it's a little gift for the child." Qin Chuan explained with a smile.
ng Wantang nodded, her gaze towards Qin Chuan becoming increasingly gentle.
She didn't expect Qin Chuan to even consider this detail. It showed he wasn't just treating this task perfunctorily as a chore.
Such small gestures were full of sincerity.
It inevitably ward ng Wantang's heart.
"Mr. Qin will surely be a good father in the future." ng Wantang praised.
Qin Chuan laughed sheepishly, scratching his head in embarrassnt.
After about an hour's drive, ng Wantang's car stopped in the garage of a villa.
Qin Chuan followed her into the villa.
"Mommy..."
As soon as the door opened, a childish voice ca from inside, and the little one Qin Chuan had seen yesterday appeared before him.
Seeing the stranger, the little one stood frozen for a few seconds.
First looking at Qin Chuan, then at the plush toy and small cake in his hands.
In the next mont, the little face lit up with joy, running towards Qin Chuan, "Daddy... Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."
