Chapter 187: Chapter 186: Return to Jiangning
As the two chatted, they suddenly heard a sharp voice, "Move it. I said you’re blocking my spot."
Ye Fan was about to apologize, as blocking soone’s way was indeed a bad habit.
However, the voice sounded oddly familiar.
He looked up and was astonished to see Luo Yazhi.
"Yazhi, you’re back in Jiangning too?" Ye Fan said in shock.
"What? Not happy to see ?" Luo Yazhi retorted angrily.
But Ye Fan just laughed. "How could I not be? Of course, I’m happy! Welco back, you’re always welco!"
"Hmph! You say one thing and an another. You get a new love and forget all about your old fla!" Luo Yazhi said, still upset.
Helpless, Ye Fan could only try to smooth things over with sweet words to calm her down. Won, after all, needed to be coaxed.
Just then, Tang Yurou chid in, "Sister Yazhi, my husband has been under a lot of stress recently. Please try to be more understanding."
And with that, it was like a two-woman play. As won, especially won who surpassed the so-called "goddess" level, they had plenty of common ground. Their various topics could easily fuel an hour-long discussion.
Ye Fan was utterly frustrated. He had zero interest in won’s topics and tried to fall asleep right then and there, but the two won forcefully shook him awake. His face was a mask of helplessness.
This drew hostile glares from many n nearby. What’s he pretending for? So what if he has two won as beautiful as angels? If it weren’t for his money, would he be so lucky?
If Ye Fan had heard their thoughts, he surely would have retorted, *Do you think Laozi used money to lure them in? If you really think that, you’re dead wrong. Laozi got them with his charm.*
After getting off the plane, Tang Yurou and Luo Yazhi were both tired, so they headed to their respective hos to sleep.
Ye Fan felt helpless, swearing to himself that he would never let the two of them et again. Otherwise, he’d definitely be the one left out in the end.
「On the other side of the world, in North Arica.」
Beneath the setting sun, amidst a field of roses, a woman held a single rose and gazed toward the East.
She was the Dark Night Demon Queen, and roses were her favorite flower.
She murmured, "I truly want to hide from you, yet at the sa ti, I long to see you. Whenever you leave, my heart is filled with a profound sense of loss."
"Perhaps you don’t understand how I feel. The next ti I erge from seclusion, I will definitely co to the East to find you!"
Then, she tossed the rose into the air. As it fell, it scattered into a rain of petals, a truly captivating display of power. Perhaps she alone possessed such a skill.
After returning to Jiangning, Ye Fan had been lying low for days. His injuries hadn’t fully healed, which was a major headache for him. The aftereffects of using his powers were always agonizing, and this was his most fatal flaw. If any of his old rivals were to find him now, he would be in serious trouble.
The next day was the weekend. Su Qingxue said to Ye Fan, "Honey, I noticed you don’t have a car. Let’s go buy one today!"
"No worries, I can just drive yours!" Ye Fan replied nonchalantly.
"Absolutely not!" Su Qingxue imdiately flared up.
Normally, it was only natural for a husband to drive his wife’s car, but Ye Fan’s driving was simply too aggressive. Her car had already been in for repairs several tis. It wasn’t about the money; it was the hassle. There were tis when she, a dignified CEO, had to take a taxi to her own company because her car was in the shop.
Su Qingxue had complained about this many tis. If Ye Fan had just kept quiet, it would have been fine, but his comnt completely ignited her fury. There was no way she would tolerate it.
She firmly refused, "No way! You have to co with
and buy one. From now on, you’re not allowed to drive my car recklessly!"
"Seriously? It’s just a car! No need to be so territorial about it!"
Ye Fan was speechless. It’s just a car. Don’t I have any rights?
But Su Qingxue pressed on, "You have the nerve to say that? When have you ever *not* pushed the car to its limit, and then you just walk away when you’re done, leaving
to clean up your ss!"
Hearing her words, Ye Fan’s anger instantly vanished. Thinking about it, he realized everything she said was true.
So, with a sheepish look, Ye Fan could only say, "Um, honey, I didn’t an to!"
"Hmph! So, are you buying one or not?"
"We’ll buy one, but you have to pay for it!" Ye Fan shot back imdiately.
"It’s just a car! Tell
what you want, and I’ll pay! But I’m warning you: you are not to use the car *I* buy for you to go pick up girls!" Su Qingxue warned him sternly.
"Of course, of course! Am I that kind of person? Besides, I have taste, you know!" Ye Fan replied quickly.
"I really can’t see it."
Every ti he spoke, Su Qingxue would land another verbal blow, making Ye Fan want to cry. Each jab hit him right where it hurt.
After so back and forth, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue arrived at a luxury car dealership.
Su Qingxue asked, "What kind of car do you want?"
"It has to be a luxury car! Only a luxury car can complent my perfect style!" Ye Fan declared proudly.
However, Su Qingxue had other ideas. If I buy him a top-tier luxury car, he’ll definitely attract a lot of female attention. He might not be the type to chase every woman he sees, but what if he decides he wants a change of pace? You get tired of fancy feasts and start craving wild greens sotis.
Thinking this, Su Qingxue made up her mind. There was no way she was buying Ye Fan a luxury car. She couldn’t even allow a one-in-a-million chance of that happening.
At that mont, Ye Fan said, "With my status, I should at least get a Porsche, right? It would suit my mature and low-profile style!"
Su Qingxue wanted to throttle him. A Porsche was low-profile? She’d never heard of a multi-million-dollar car being called "understated!"
So, she said, "I think I’ll take you over there to have a look."
"What kind of cars do they sell over there?" Ye Fan asked. Having never bought a car himself, he’d never been to this place before.
Su Qingxue replied, "Luxury cars!"
"Luxury cars!"
Ye Fan’s eyes lit up. My wife is so good to ! She thinks a three-million-dollar car isn’t classy enough, so she must be planning to get
one worth even more than that!
He eagerly trotted after Su Qingxue.
However, the mont they arrived, Ye Fan was stunned. Were these "luxury cars"? These were clearly cars worth around a hundred thousand at best.
"You’re not actually going to make
buy one of these, are you?" Ye Fan asked in disbelief.
"That’s right. Don’t you like them?" Su Qingxue asked flatly.
Ye Fan explained awkwardly, "Could we maybe get sothing a little classier?"
"No!" Su Qingxue refused point-blank.
Left with no choice, Ye Fan said, "Fine, forget it. Can I pay for it myself?"
"No!" Su Qingxue said domineeringly. After all, her reputation as a bossy CEO wasn’t just for show.
Ye Fan was so frustrated. Why does she have to treat
like this?
Just then, sothing bumped into Su Qingxue, causing her to stumble and fall. Luckily, Ye Fan reacted quickly, catching her in his arms. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Ye Fan was furious. He couldn’t even go car shopping without soone trying to bully them.
He saw a man browsing the cars, surrounded by a large group of sales staff who were all treating him with the utmost respect. The man had a sowhat sleazy appearance and looked like a sinister type.
"Buddy, don’t you think you should apologize to my wife?" Ye Fan said, tapping him on the shoulder.
The man spun around, saw Ye Fan, and cursed, "Who the hell are you? If you want to look at cars, go over there. Don’t disturb Laozi’s research!"
Ye Fan replied, "Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that you bumped into my wife."
Su Qingxue was still pale from the shock of being knocked over and hadn’t quite recovered yet.
The man glanced at Su Qingxue, then back at Ye Fan. "I bumped into her, so what? You dare act tough in Laozi’s company?" he sneered. "Kid, I don’t care if you’re here to buy a car or not, but Laozi isn’t apologizing today!"
He was the owner of the dealership, which made him all the more arrogant.
