24: Section 24

Xiao Fan replied, "Wait for me, I'll be there to pick you up right away."

The message was instantly returned: "Okay, Brother Fan is the best."

After eating a quick bite, Xiao Fan headed out.

Uncle Zhou, as Xiao Fan's exclusive driver, was naturally on standby at all times.

Qing Yuan, meanwhile, was following behind in a red car.

"Brother Fan."

Upon seeing Xiao Fan's car, Chen Xueqi was overjoyed and waved excitedly.

"Xueqi, where do you want to go today?"

When going out, a girl's opinion is naturally more important.

"I want to go shopping first, then we'll go to the snack street for some snacks, and then watch a movie, okay?"

Chen Xueqi blinked her big eyes at Xiao Fan.

"Of course, we can. I promised to spend time with you, so let's go to Xinyuan Mall first."

Xinyuan Mall was one of the top high-end malls in the provincial city, filled with countless luxury goods.

Xiao Fan smiled softly, reaching out to play with Chen Xueqi's beautiful hair.

"Mmm, Brother Fan is so nice."

Chen Xueqi reached out and linked her arm through Xiao Fan's, then stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.

However, Xiao Fan's smile soon faded.

He was now covered in shopping bags, large and small, almost to the point of being draped over his long spear.

"Xueqi, how about we put these in the car first?"

Seeing Xiao Fan covered in shopping bags, Chen Xueqi stuck out her tongue a little, feeling embarrassed.

"Just one last store, okay? After this one, we'll leave."

Xiao Fan nodded somewhat blankly. Five whole hours, did she know how he had spent those five hours?

Seeing Xiao Fan agree, Chen Xueqi excitedly rushed into a suit store.

"Brother Fan, you look so handsome in this suit."

Chen Xueqi's eyes lit up as she looked at Xiao Fan, nodding in satisfaction.

The sales assistant nearby also chimed in.

"Card!"

Chen Xueqi grandly pulled out a black card, and upon seeing it, the sales assistant's demeanor became even more respectful.

"Didn't we agree that I would pay today? Use mine."

"No, you've bought so much for me already. Can't I buy you a gift?"

Seeing that he couldn't win against Chen Xueqi, Xiao Fan had no choice but to give in.

After shopping, the two of them went to the snack street and ate many snacks.

"Brother Fan, what movie do you want to watch?"

"What do you like? Whatever you like, I like."

"Ah, there are so many people here."

Chen Xueqi tugged on Xiao Fan's sleeve, lowering her head shyly.

"Then let's watch this one."

Chen Xueqi pointed to a romance film.

Xiao Fan's eye twitched slightly, feeling an inexplicable pang of guilt. He had just watched this movie with Mu Yinyin yesterday.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Just as the movie was halfway through, a call came in.

"Who is it, Brother Fan?"

Since they had booked the entire theater, Xiao Fan naturally hadn't silenced his phone.

"A friend. I'll take this call and be right back."

With that, Xiao Fan walked outside and pressed answer.

Mu Yinyin's slightly tearful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Fan, my parents are forcing me to go on a blind date. Can you come over? It's at Zuixian Ju (Drunken Immortal Residence)."

"Okay, Yinyin, don't worry. I'll be right there."

Hearing Mu Yinyin's tone, Xiao Fan felt immense heartache. How dare someone make things difficult for his woman?

"Brother Fan, can you tell me who Yinyin is?"

Chapter 22: Qing Yuan's Strength

Just now, when Xiao Fan picked up his phone, Chen Xueqi noticed that his expression was a little unnatural.

Out of trust, she didn't think much of it until she saw Xiao Fan go outside to make a call.

Only then did she follow him out of curiosity. Although there was a door separating them,

Chen Xueqi's hearing was strong due to her Xiantian Realm cultivation. Although she didn't hear Mu Yinyin's words, she heard the name Xiao Fan said very clearly.

"Xueqi, can I explain it to you when I get back?"

"Alright, then I'll go back first."

Chen Xueqi's voice trembled slightly; she had vaguely realized something.

Xiao Fan tried to reach out and pull her, but as soon as his hand touched her, Chen Xueqi took a step back in resistance.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

But he couldn't not go to Mu Yinyin.

"I'll have Uncle Zhou take you back."

"No need. Go find your Yinyin. I'll go back by myself."

Chen Xueqi held back her tears with great effort, but after turning around, the tears could no longer be suppressed and fell.

She had already prepared to be with Xiao Fan for a lifetime, so why was he still like this?

Everything was getting better, so why did it suddenly become like this again?

She really didn't have the courage to wait another three years.

Looking at the tears dripping onto the ground, Xiao Fan felt as if his heart was being squeezed.

For a moment, he wanted to disregard everything, as long as Chen Xueqi was happy.

Seeing Chen Xueqi in this state, Xiao Fan naturally couldn't rest assured. He walked forward and picked her up in a princess carry.

"Let go of me! Just leave me alone, okay?"

Chen Xueqi hit Xiao Fan's chest.

"No, you can beat me to death, but I won't let go."

"Are you saying you don't think I dare?"

"Then go ahead, but I'm not letting go."

With that, Xiao Fan carried Chen Xueqi and walked outside.

"You!"

Chen Xueqi raised her hand, looked at the man she loved most deeply, and finally lowered it.

"Be good, I'll explain when I get back."

Xiao Fan carried Chen Xueqi into the car. "Uncle Zhou, take Xueqi home first."

"I don't want to hear it, and don't tell me anything."

Chen Xueqi turned her face away, looking like she didn't want to deal with him and wanted him to leave quickly.

Xiao Fan leaned in and kissed Chen Xueqi's little cheek, then closed the car door.

'Don't think that just because you're worried about me and had Uncle Zhou take me home, I'll forgive you.'

The thought of Xiao Fan calling that person so intimately made Chen Xueqi furious.

If it weren't for her reluctance, she would have beaten Xiao Fan up.

"To Zuixian Ju (Drunken Immortal Residence), quickly."

Xiao Fan pulled open Qing Yuan's car door. A fragrant scent wafted out, but Xiao Fan was not in the mood to appreciate it right now.

Not only was there trouble at home, but the issue with Mu Yinyin also hadn't been resolved.
