6: The heroine surrendered, and the protagonist became a clown

Zhao Xuexuan looked at the refreshed Chen Tianming and the small hickey on his neck that wasn't completely covered.

She immediately thought of Luo Yanyun, whom he had taken with him when he left.

Recalling their previous conversation,

How could she not guess what had happened?

As her face flushed,

An indescribable feeling of vexation rose in her chest!

As a woman,

Zhao Xuexuan's mindset gradually underwent a subtle change.

Seeing the man whose eyes used to only be on her now surrounded by other women,

For a moment, an inexplicable surge of jealousy once again filled her heart…

After Chen Tianming walked out with A Qi,

He swaggered over and sat down in the main seat.

He first glanced at Zhao Xuexuan's expression,

A barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then he looked at Father Zhao next to him and, feigning ignorance, asked, “Father Zhao, why are you at my Chen family so early?”

…Early?

It's already noon, alright!

Father Zhao subconsciously glanced out the window,

His mouth twitched slightly.

He muttered a complaint in his heart.

However, he still maintained a smiling face and said, “Chen Shao, you jest.”

“We came here primarily to apologize to you. It's all because of my poor discipline that my daughter offended Chen Shao…”

“Oh?” Chen Tianming looked at Father Zhao, who was bowing his head opposite him, a hint of playfulness in his voice, and casually crossed his legs.

He tapped lightly on the sofa with one hand.

“I don't think Miss Zhao did anything wrong.”

“If she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. Rather, I was being presumptuous before.”

Father Zhao's expression became bitter upon hearing this.

He had guessed before coming that things probably wouldn't go so smoothly.

He just didn't expect Chen Tianming to show no regard for their original relationship.

As a seasoned negotiator in business,

Father Zhao dared not respond.

Instead, he suddenly turned and looked at Zhao Xuexuan, who was still somewhat distracted beside him, and sternly rebuked, “What are you standing there for?”

“Hurry up and apologize to Chen Shao!”

Zhao Xuexuan snapped back to reality.

Looking at Chen Tianming, who was sitting on the sofa with a mocking expression,

She bit her lip, an instinctive resistance rising in her heart.

However, remembering how her father had almost collapsed earlier,

Finally, she lowered her head and softly said, “I'm sorry…”

Before Chen Tianming could speak again,

Father Zhao quickly looked at him and said, “You see, my daughter has already apologized.”

“This matter was indeed her fault. Whatever compensation you require, just name it. As long as it can be done, I will not refuse!”

It must be said,

Father Zhao was indeed a seasoned negotiator.

In just a few words,

He had shifted the pace of the matter to a position advantageous to himself.

However, Chen Tianming was no pushover and naturally wouldn't be easily trapped by him.

“Hehe, compensation?”

Chen Tianming chuckled, propping his chin with one hand, and looked at him, saying, “Everything your Zhao family has, our Chen family has. What you don't have, I also have. What can you compensate me with?”

Just lowering her head to admit her mistake had already made Zhao Xuexuan very unconvinced.

Now, with Chen Tianming still so arrogant, as the Female Lead, she finally couldn't suppress her anger, frowned, and said, “Chen Tianming, don't go too far!”

“I've already apologized, what more do you want?”

Chen Tianming smiled.

Indeed, how could the Female Lead so easily bow to a Villain?

However, this woman still doesn't seem to understand the situation!

Slap!

Father Zhao suddenly stood up and slapped Zhao Xuexuan across the face.

He was almost fuming and was utterly disappointed in his daughter.

“Shut up!!!”

Zhao Xuexuan froze, covering her face with one hand, and fell to the ground with an incredulous expression.

This was the first time Father Zhao had ever hit her, from childhood to adulthood.

And it was in front of Chen Tianming.

Immediately, a feeling of grievance welled up in her eyes.

—Do you know how much psychological harm a big slap can cause to a child in their twenties?

After hitting Zhao Xuexuan, Father Zhao took a deep breath and looked at Chen Tianming, saying, “How about Zhao Xuexuan marrying Chen Shao as a condition?”

Zhao Xuexuan looked up, her eyes wide, and stared at her father with an incredulous expression.

Chen Tianming, however, remained unhurried.

He didn't agree immediately.

He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

Just then,

A young man's angry voice suddenly came from outside the door: “I object!”

Immediately after, Ye Fan, who had rushed all the way and climbed over the outer wall, walked in through the main door!

At this moment, Ye Fan was still wearing cheap clothes.

Even his faded jeans had two holes in them.

If he were on the street, he would look like a cleaner beggar.

This shout made everyone in the room look at him.

Except for Chen Tianming, who had been waiting for him to appear and merely narrowed his eyes.

Everyone else was shocked!

Where did this fool come from?

Daring to shout in the Chen family, was he tired of living?

Especially Father Zhao, who, besides being surprised and uncertain, was also somewhat angry!

Who was this person?

What did their family problems have to do with him?

After Ye Fan entered, he scanned everyone present, but his gaze stuck to Zhao Xuexuan like a magnet, and he stood rooted to the spot, dazed.

His saliva was almost drooling!

He had been cooped up in the mountains for so many years and had never seen such a beautiful woman!

This was his fiancée?

He had originally rushed here just because he couldn't swallow his anger.

Now, at the sight of Zhao Xuexuan,

He instantly made a unilateral decision!

He would marry no one but her!

This was his future wife!

Nothing anyone said would matter!

At this moment,

The bodyguards at the door finally reacted.

They immediately rushed forward, intending to subdue Ye Fan.

But in just a moment,

Three bodyguards fell to the ground,

Wailing in pain,

Unable to get up again.

They hadn't even seen how Ye Fan attacked,

And they were already on the ground!

Ye Fan showed a cold smile.

Did they really think he had trained for so many years for nothing?

These few small fries couldn't even get close to him!

Apart from Chen Tianming and A Qi, no one present saw how Ye Fan attacked.

A Grandmaster-level expert!

A cold glint flashed in A Qi's eyes.

She saw Ye Fan's strength!

She took a step forward,

About to make a move,

But Chen Tianming stopped her.

He said indifferently, “Well said.”

“I'm just not good with my legs and can't be a simp.”

“Since this friend also disagrees, I think we should just drop this matter.”

Father Zhao immediately became anxious!

He had already cursed Ye Fan's ancestors repeatedly in his mind!

In his haste,

He was about to speak,

Just then,

Zhao Xuexuan, who was on the side, spoke first, biting her lip, “Wait!”

“I… I can also be your simp!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room was astonished!

Everyone looked at Zhao Xuexuan.

No one expected that the always aloof Ice Queen CEO would say such a thing!

And Ye Fan looked at Zhao Xuexuan with a face full of surprise.

He hadn't expected Zhao Xuexuan to actively bow her head at this moment!

This made everything he had just done seem like a joke!

Almost simultaneously,

Chen Tianming heard the system's prompt in his ear.

【Protagonist Ye Fan's mind wavers, Devil's Value +233】

【Protagonist Ye Fan doubts life, Devil's Value +489】

【…】

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
