Chapter 74: Chapter 73 Heading to Shangjing

After finishing bandaging Chen Zihan’s wound, Ye Fan said, "All done. Do you want to rest for a bit? I can help you to the bed, and then I should probably leave."

Chen Zihan looked at Ye Fan with alarm.

Ye Fan was speechless. "Co on, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not that kind of guy, okay? Do I look like that type of person?"

Chen Zihan nodded slightly, and Ye Fan suffered 10,000 points of damage.

At this, Chen Zihan smiled. "I was just joking with you!"

"That’s more like it!" Ye Fan laughed awkwardly.

Alright, I took that joke too far, and now she’s getting her revenge. But as a professional old hand, I won’t be intimidated.

He helped Chen Zihan toward the bedroom, but her foot suddenly slipped, and she fell. Affected by the montum, Ye Fan toppled right on top of her.

In that mont, the two of them were in close contact—no, they were pressed right against each other. Looking at Chen Zihan, Ye Fan felt a sudden urge.

Even Chen Zihan felt the sa; a sense of longing washed over her.

The next mont, Ye Fan quickly got up. Goodness! I almost lost control.

"Uh, if there’s nothing else, I should get going," Ye Fan said awkwardly.

"Alright then!"

Chen Zihan didn’t know why she felt that way. I know I’ve been making one mistake after another, so why do I feel an urge for them to continue? When Ye Fan ntioned leaving, she felt a pang of disappointnt.

Today was a special day. When Ye Fan returned to the villa, Su Qingxue was ho. She imdiately asked him, "Where have you been?"

"Just went out for a walk to clear my head. Nothing serious!" Ye Fan replied.

Su Qingxue imdiately leaned in close and sniffed him. Only when she didn’t detect any perfu did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Fan could only scoff internally. Laozi is shrewd from experience. I’ve been burned once; did she really think I’d make the sa mistake a second ti?

"It’s getting late. You should get so rest," Su Qingxue said.

"Okay!" Ye Fan responded.

However, Su Qingxue then added, "Don’t you want ? Well, tonight we can...!"

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed. As a woman, Su Qingxue was normally reserved about such matters. However, seeing Ye Fan get involved with one woman after another had left her feeling unsettled. He was the only person she could rely on now, so she felt she had to satisfy him. In fact, when she tried to see things from his perspective, her feelings balanced out. If I, his fiancée, don’t satisfy him, of course he’ll go looking for satisfaction elsewhere. For that reason, she decided to let go of all her inhibitions tonight. No matter what, she had to satisfy Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was utterly shocked. I can’t believe this! How could sothing so wonderful happen to ? I have to succeed tonight, no matter what! At that thought, he smirked slyly.

Entering the room, Ye Fan began to kiss Su Qingxue passionately. Although she wasn’t fond of such situations, she was slowly getting accustod to it. The room filled with a warm, intimate atmosphere. For Ye Fan, as a man, conquering Su Qingxue would be a source of imnse pride. Filled with this pride, he helped her gradually adapt to the situation.

However, the next mont, when he touched that most mysterious area, Ye Fan was instantly startled. "Is it that ti of the month for you?" he asked.

"Yes," Su Qingxue replied, puzzled.

"Ah!" Ye Fan was devastated. He said awkwardly, "Well, we can’t... do this kind of thing during that ti!"

"But I didn’t know!" Su Qingxue’s face turned crimson; no one could have been more embarrassed than she was.

"It’s okay!" Ye Fan said.

Although his words were ant to be comforting, inside, he was screaming at the heavens. Why? Why is fate so cruel to ? I was so close! Now it’s all for nothing! How can I possibly stay calm?

Sure enough, Su Qingxue might look mature, but she’s really just a naive girl. She knows nothing about things like this.

The next day, Su Qingxue told him she needed to make a trip to Shangjing soon, which delighted Ye Fan.

If we’re going to Shangjing, doesn’t that an I can see Fang Nan again? It’s a perfect coincidence; she’s at her family ho in Shangjing right now.

Therefore, Ye Fan agreed to go with Su Qingxue, and they began to prepare. He texted Fang Nan the news. Fang Nan replied within seconds. Naturally, she was thrilled, too.

On the Third Heaven, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue set off. This was a business trip for Su Qingxue to discuss a potential partnership. The Su family was rising rapidly, and she had to gather partners from all around. Her father, Su Jian Country, used to handle these matters, but now it fell to her alone. Fortunately, she had Ye Fan by her side.

"Today, I’m eting with the powerful Hua Bo International to discuss a partnership," Su Qingxue explained. "You have to help

size them up during dinner!"

"You handle the business; I’ll just focus on eating!" Ye Fan laughed.

"Hmph!" Su Qingxue snorted, and Ye Fan embarrassedly wiped the mischievous smile off his face.

As soon as they landed, they were greeted by hotel staff for a pickup. The service was excellent. Originally, Fang Nan had offered to pick them up, but Ye Fan had declined. It would be too awkward if the two of them t. I’d be the one caught in the middle. Seeing Fang Nan will have to be done in secret.

After arriving at the hotel, Su Qingxue made a phone call. "Mrs. Jiang, this is Su Qingxue. I was hoping we could have a preliminary discussion about our cooperation?"

Su Qingxue knew this wouldn’t be an easy negotiation. Still, a sense of eager anticipation compelled her; a preliminary talk was definitely worth it. While the other party might not be on the wealth rankings, their financial power, strength, and influence far surpassed those of the Su family. At this point, she had no other choice but to try. If we can secure a partnership with them, the Su family will finally make its mark in this industry.

Their eting was at a Divine Land-style restaurant that served famous Divine Land dishes and was favored by many wealthy tycoons. Just as Su Qingxue and Ye Fan arrived, a chauffeur stepped out from a stretch Bentley to open the door for a woman wearing sunglasses. The woman got out of the car and walked toward them, sunglasses still on.

There was no doubt about it; this woman had a powerful aura. Although she was around fifty, she was so well-maintained that she looked to be in her mid-thirties at most.

Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed. A powerhouse Martial Arts family! That chauffeur is no simple man—he’s an Inner Door Peak expert, a formidable martial artist in his own right. For a re driver to have such incredible strength, this can only be a powerhouse Martial Arts family.

Ye Fan knew that in a place like Shangjing, it wasn’t overt power that counted, but the influence wielded in the underground world. Shangjing was ho to many Ancient Martial Families with legacies spanning centuries in the Divine Land. Their influence was so vast that not even the most dominant public forces dared to challenge them. That was the terrifying aspect of these underground powers. Public-facing factions had to act with restraint, but the underground world had no such scruples. Unbound by secular laws, they could do as they pleased. From this perspective, the position of these Ancient Martial Families was exceptionally high. Moreover, they weren’t just involved in Martial Arts; they also engaged in business and politics, making them extraordinarily daunting.

At that mont, the woman reached them and removed her sunglasses.

"Mrs. Jiang, hello, I’m Su Qingxue!" Su Qingxue imdiately extended her hand.

Mrs. Jiang had been about to shake her hand, but upon seeing Ye Fan, she froze, her composure gone.

He looks so much like him. That black mole above his lip, on the right side of his nose... He has to be that person! She was completely astounded. Then, following the shock, ca a wave of imnse joy.
