Chapter 146: Chapter 145: Arrogant
The next day, Ye Fan arrived at the company. "Honey," he said to Su Qingxue, "I need to ask for so ti off."
"To go where?" Su Qingxue asked. She always had a bad feeling whenever Ye Fan asked for ti off.
"My dear wife, don’t worry about where I’m going," Ye Fan said. "Just approve it. I promise I’ll be back very soon!"
"Denied," Su Qingxue stated flatly.
Ye Fan was furious. As a man, having to constantly walk on eggshells around a woman was maddening. He asked coldly, "Are you approving this or not?"
"Denied," Su Qingxue huffed, crossing her arms. When it ca to being aloof, she was far more convincing than Ye Fan. His coldness was just an act, while hers was innate.
Suddenly, Ye Fan started begging. "My dear wife, please approve it! Just this once, okay? For the sake of our marriage, please, just this one ti!"
"Then where exactly are you going? You have to give
a reason," Su Qingxue said, remaining unyielding.
"Isn’t Grandfather in Shangjing recuperating from his injuries? I’ll only be gone for five days, and I’ll hurry right back!"
This ti, Ye Fan was lying. If he had told Su Qingxue the truth—that he was accompanying his little mistress on a trip back to her ho—he would have been dead at. There was no doubt he’d be wiped from existence, not even a speck of dust left behind.
"Fine," Su Qingxue said. "But keep your phone on so I can reach you."
"Is that really necessary?" Ye Fan asked awkwardly. "If anything cos up, you can just call Tiancan and Di Que. They can take care of anything for you!" He was known to disappear, sotis for an entire month, so even he wasn’t confident he could keep that promise.
But Su Qingxue was firm. "It is necessary. Otherwise, the leave is not approved."
"Alright then!" Ye Fan had no choice but to agree.
That night, Ye Fan and Mu Wanxin departed. Their flight to the provincial capital of Southwest Province would take several hours.
anwhile, Su Qingxue took out her phone and called Mrs. Jiang.
"Qingxue, what is it?" Mrs. Jiang asked from the other end. "Calling so late, are you and Ye Fan having problems? If you are, I’ll definitely stand up for you!"
"It’s not that, Auntie," Su Qingxue asked. "Ye Fan said he was going back to Shangjing to help Grandfather recuperate. Did he call you to ask for a ride from the airport?"
"No, he didn’t," Mrs. Jiang replied. "The old man is doing perfectly fine. He doesn’t need to be recuperating from anything."
"I see. You should get so rest, Auntie." Su Qingxue hung up the phone, seething. Her voice trembled with fury as she muttered, "Ye Fan, I’ll have your hide!"
On the plane, Ye Fan sneezed. He had a premonition that soone was thinking about him, but he had no idea who it could be. He wasn’t in the mood to guess, either, because Mu Wanxin was holding his hand as they settled into their first-class seats. In the past, she had always been the one serving others, but now, soone else was serving her. Soon, she was fast asleep on Ye Fan’s shoulder.
Perhaps she could only feel truly secure when resting on his shoulder. Without a doubt, Ye Fan was her Guardian. Every Princess needs her Knight.
An hour later, Mu Wanxin woke up. Ye Fan was dozing off, so she gently placed his head in her lap.
About three hours later, they finally arrived at the provincial capital. It was Ye Fan’s first visit to the Southwest Province, a place steeped in legend, and he was filled with curiosity. Although it was remote, Ye Fan knew it was a gathering place for people from all walks of life, including more than a few hidden masters.
After leaving the airport, the two planned to take a taxi to another part of the city to catch a train to the county. With three trains running daily, they had plenty of ti. However, unbeknownst to them, they had been targeted the mont they stepped outside. A Bentley began tailing them.
Just as Ye Fan was about to hail a taxi, the Bentley pulled up beside them. A man in an expensive suit stepped out of the car, flanked by three n. He had spotted Mu Wanxin at the airport and, captivated by her beauty, had decided to follow them.
A minor annoyance, Ye Fan thought with a glance.
Disgusted, Mu Wanxin moved closer to Ye Fan’s side.
"Hello, Miss," the man said. "I am Chen Ke, the young master of Wansheng International. If you co with , this check for two million is yours." He was clearly used to spending lavishly to get what he wanted and assud the money would be an irresistible temptation for Mu Wanxin. He paid Ye Fan no mind at all.
"I don’t need it. Please take it back," Mu Wanxin said.
Chen Ke almost lost his temper.
"Get lost," Ye Fan said coldly. "You’re in my way."
Two of Chen Ke’s n started to move forward, but he stopped them. "I’ll give you one more chance," Chen Ke said arrogantly. "Stick with him, and you’ll struggle to get by. Co with , and you’ll never have to worry about a thing for the rest of your life. I guarantee you a life of luxury!" He was imnsely proud of his status. Wansheng International might not be a major global corporation, but it was still worth seven or eight hundred million.
"I’ll say it again: I don’t need it," Mu Wanxin repeated. She wasn’t the least bit tempted; after all, she wasn’t a materialistic woman.
Just then, Ye Fan snatched the check from Chen Ke and tore it to pieces right in front of him. "Is two million supposed to be a lot?" he sneered.
Chen Ke’s voice turned cold. "You dare to disrespect ? Get him! If you kill him, I’ll take the bla!"
His two bodyguards charged.
As Ye Fan made his move, he imdiately discovered their secret. These two bodyguards possess genuine martial arts. They haven’t reached the level of the inner sect, but their external martial arts are definitely solid. Their stances look like they’re from a reclusive southern sect... probably the Heavenly Mountain Sect. After his ti in the Dragon Group, Ye Fan was familiar with many of Divine Land’s hidden sects. The Heavenly Mountain Sect wasn’t particularly powerful and didn’t even feature in the Dragon Group’s danger files.
He unleashed a flurry of swift punches. Despite their respectable external skills, the two were no match for him and were knocked to the ground with just a few moves.
Chen Ke was instantly terrified. His driver was even more so; they never imagined that such a powerful master was hidden in this mundane world.
"Go get him!" Chen Ke yelled, kicking his driver in the back.
The driver had no choice but to brace himself and charge, but he couldn’t even withstand a single move from Ye Fan.
"You’ve got guts, kid," Chen Ke snarled. "I’ll rember this."
He turned to flee, but Ye Fan grabbed him by the neck and slamd him against the Bentley. The sudden violence made Chen Ke nearly wet himself in fear.
Even Mu Wanxin hadn’t expected Ye Fan’s strength to be so formidable.
