Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Quick, Hide!

After a while, Lin Fan and his group arrived at the Xia Family Mansion in the Southern City.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw the pretty yet angry face of Xia Bingbing, who was standing in the courtyard constantly scrutinizing the newcomers.

“You must be Yuan Youwei’s sister. Oh, I’ve often heard Lin Fan mention you, and meeting you today is truly delightful!”

Lin Fan felt a tingle in his scalp, wanting to open his mouth for introductions.

Unexpectedly, Xia Bingbing suddenly smiled sweetly, quickly walked over, and extended her fair wrist towards Yuan Youwei.

“You’re Mr. Xia Sr.’s granddaughter, Miss Xia Bingbing, right? Hello.”

Their eyes met, and Yuan Youwei was slightly astonished.

Then she also smiled, boldly extending her jade-like hand.

In an instant, gusts of chill seemed to sweep around.

The air even seemed to spark with flashes!

“Jeez, why has it suddenly become cold? This ghostly weather in the Imperial Capital…”

Wang Meng, who was carrying the suitcase by the side, huddled his shoulders, muttering quietly.

Mrs. Xue, however, had her mouth twitch slightly, shooting Lin Fan a displeased look.

Wu Miaomiao seemed indifferent, chewing gum, evidently a bit gloating.

“Ahem, Lin Fan, why don’t you take us to meet Mr. Xia. I’ve long admired him, but have been unable to meet him.”

At this moment, Mr. Yuan Sr. coughed softly, giving Lin Fan a meaningful look.

“Yes, take them to meet the old gentleman first. He has been waiting for quite a while.”

Before Lin Fan could speak.

Xia Bingbing nodded, voluntarily releasing her hand.

Yuan Youwei also smiled, retracting her hand that had turned red from the grip, her eyes filled with budding battle spirit.

Of course, the other party was also not doing well, having similarly reddened hand marks.

It seemed that neither gained an advantage.

Hmph, whoever you are.

Anyway, Lin Fan is already chosen by me, Yuan Youwei, you can’t take him away!

“By the way, I heard from Lin Fan that you came to break off the engagement with the Wen family’s third young master, Wen Zheyang?”

The group headed toward the hallway inside the mansion under Xia Bingbing’s guidance.

She asked while walking, her gaze flitting back and forth between Lin Fan and Yuan Youwei.

“Some trivial matters, no need for Miss Xia to be concerned.”

Yuan Youwei was quick to speak, then took hold of Lin Fan’s arm!

Oh my, shameless!

Actually getting close to my man in public!

Xia Bingbing’s face stiffened, suddenly stopping.

She stared sharply at Lin Fan with a murderous look.

“…I’ll go to the bathroom.”

Lin Fan was disoriented by the whirlwind, quickly letting go of his arm and turning to leave.

It’s hard to be a person, and even harder to be a good man…

He lingered in the bathroom for a good twenty minutes.

Unable to resist Tie Hao urging him time and again to come out for dinner.

Lin Fan washed his face with water, steadied himself, and walked into the hall.

He found that the hall already had a large table set up, piled with delicious food.

Mr. Xia Sr. was already drinking with Mr. Yuan Sr.

The two old men were drinking happily, like long-standing friends.

Meanwhile, across the table, Yuan Youwei and Xia Bingbing were having a quiet conversation, seeming to talk amiably.

Not at all with the previous hostility, competing against each other.

“They… didn’t fight?”

Meeting Wang Meng, who had just put away the luggage, Lin Fan grabbed him and whispered.

“No, Miss Xia and Miss Yuan hit it off like old friends, very warmly too.”

Wang Meng shook his head confusedly.

“…”

Lin Fan fell silent, not bothering to think any further.

They each took their seats following Mr. Xia Sr.’s invitation.

The dinner party was enjoyed by all, lasting into deep night before dispersing.

Mr. Yuan Sr. was already drunk beyond recognition, helped to a guest room.

Yuan Youwei, Mrs. Xue, and Wu Miaomiao were pulled by Xia Bingbing to have private talks.

Leaving only Lin Fan and Wang Meng standing in the hall, staring at each other.

“You were in the Hulin Guard before, right?”

Tie Hao came over, handed a couple of cigarettes to Lin Fan and Wang Meng.

He gestured to go to the garden for a smoke, then squinted, carefully eyeing the latter.

“Yes, I was the deserter who got dismissed, Wang Meng… I remember you, you’re the Guard Officer for the Old Marshal.”

Wang Meng smoked, chuckling bitterly, then bowed his head to take a deep puff.

“Being kept by Lin Fan shows that it wasn’t your fault.”

Tie Hao glanced at Lin Fan and nodded.

“Leaving is good, staying by his side is better than being mistreated there.”

“Didn’t the Old Marshal consider letting my boss take charge of the Hulin Guard again?”

Wang Meng fell silent, his eyes flickering with indignation and resentment.

“Since Shen Changlong, that old bastard, took over the Hulin Guard, it’s deteriorated, with its battle prowess plummeting, frustrating to witness!”

“Let’s not dwell on that, now I’m with Lin Fan.”

Before Tie Hao could respond.

Lin Fan took a deep drag from his cigarette, shook his head calmly.

“It’s getting late, go back and rest.”

He flicked the cigarette butt away into the trash can and headed towards his room by himself.

He completely ignored Tie Hao and Wang Meng exchanging glances, both looking a bit disappointed.

“Go back, can we really go back…”

Lin Fan murmured silently, took a deep breath and pushed open the door to his room.

The next moment.

His brows slightly furrowed, and he slowly lowered his hand from the light switch.

At this moment, in the dimly lit corner on the right side of the room, there was clearly someone hiding!

Even though the intruder was trying hard to suppress their heartbeat and breathing.

They still couldn’t escape Lin Fan’s extraordinary senses.

“What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?”

Click!

Lin Fan suddenly turned on the light, making the room as bright as day.

At the same time, the unexpected visitor suddenly moved.

“Brother! I missed you so much, and you haven’t contacted me all these years!”

Thump!

A fragrant wind approached, and a delicate figure flew towards him!

Looking at the familiar pale oval face coming close.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel momentarily stunned and was embraced tightly by her.

“Ying Yutang… how did you know I was here?”

Feeling a stabbing pain in his heart, Lin Fan bit his lip and forcefully pushed the girl away.

“Did you climb over the wall again? This is not a place for you to stay long, go home immediately.”

Ignoring the girl’s smile that froze and then turned to confusion and disappointment.

Lin Fan turned his back to her, speaking coldly.

This person was his little sister, the Third Miss Ying, Ying Yutang.

She was the adopted daughter of Ying Wenyuan, and she was quite close to Lin Suxin and Shen Yueli.

“Brother, do you still blame me for not helping you and Aunt Lin seven years ago?”

Ying Yutang’s beautiful eyes turned a bit red, and she lowered her head and walked in front of Lin Fan, murmuring sadly.

“I don’t blame you, it’s my vendetta with those bastards, it’s got nothing to do with you.”

Lin Fan’s face was expressionless, still speaking harshly and coldly.

If he was destined to be in a never-ending conflict with those bastards in the Ying family, it was best not to drag others into it.

Especially someone as awkwardly positioned as Ying Yutang, she shouldn’t get involved.

“Back then, I actually wanted to plead on Aunt Lin’s behalf, but my stepmother didn’t let me, and had me sent abroad… if it weren’t for the Shen family’s ancestor worship ceremony, I wouldn’t have had the chance to come back.”

Ying Yutang choked up a bit, shaking her head painfully.

“I told you, these things have nothing to do with you. Leave now, and don’t come to see me again.”

Lin Fan pointed towards the door.

“No, I’m not leaving! You know it; ever since we were little, I, I only liked you… and we’re not related by blood!”

Ying Yutang suddenly lost control, lifting her tear-streaked face, biting her lip and whispering.

“… What nonsense are you talking about? I am your brother, you are not allowed to have those crazy ideas, not even think about it!”

Lin Fan saw black, almost bursting with anger.

Raising his hand instinctively, he couldn’t bring himself to strike her.

He could only grab Ying Yutang’s arm and drag her towards the door.

“Someone’s coming, hurry, hide!”

At that moment.

From the hallway outside, the sound of light footsteps was heard.

Lin Fan’s face altered, and he gave Ying Yutang an annoyed glance.

“You better not kick me out, otherwise I’ll make a big commotion and alarm Mr. Xia Sr.!”

Ying Yutang sniffled, then with a sly look in her eyes, whispered a warning.

“Hide in the bathroom first, we’ll talk later!”

Lin Fan gritted his teeth and pushed her inside the room.

Then, he saw the figure of the uneasy Wu Miaomiao approaching from outside the door.

“Young Master, can I ask you a favor?”

A faint sound was heard from the bathroom.

Lin Fan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, looking a bit puzzled at the hesitant and shy Wu Miaomiao.

“Go ahead, I’ll listen first.”

“I, I can’t suppress my Charm Skill anymore, I need to harmonize yin and yang with a man to continue suppressing it…”

Wu Miaomiao’s face turned crimson, mustering the courage to look directly at Lin Fan.

“For years, I’ve been mingling in nightclubs, actually just hoping to find any man… but I still couldn’t get over it in my heart.”

“Young Master, I can tell that you’re also a virgin… so why let it go to waste, how about letting me have your first time?”

Wha, what?

Coming over in the middle of the night just for such an outrageous request!

“What nonsense are you talking about, I’m no virgin!”

Lin Fan’s body shook, his face turned green.

Especially after noticing a faint laugh coming from the bathroom.

His face flushed, glaring at the hopeful Wu Miaomiao, he pointed angrily at the door.

“Get back and go to sleep!”
