Lu Fan felt both nervous and a little excited. Fan Xue'er's words implied they could live together...
"Lu Fan?" A sudden voice startled Lu Fan. He truly felt guilty, even though he hadn't done anything yet, just had the thought!
Turning around, he saw Shen Xinyi!
"Sister Xinyi! What a coincidence!" Lu Fan's eyes lit up, and he said quickly.
"Is it really a coincidence? Hmph! Who is this?" Shen Xinyi shot Lu Fan a glare and asked Fan Xue'er unfriendlily.
"I am his girlfriend. Who are you?" Fan Xue'er, sensing something from Shen Xinyi's gaze, immediately confronted her, puffing out her chest and retorting.
"Sister Xinyi! It's... it's not what you think..." Lu Fan tried to explain urgently.
"Lu Fan! If you dare bully Ru Yan, I'll cripple you!" Shen Xinyi didn't give Lu Fan a chance to explain. She suddenly lifted her long leg and kicked towards Lu Fan in a move meant to incapacitate.
Lu Fan wanted to dodge, but Fan Xue'er held his arm tightly, as if afraid he would run away, making it difficult for him to move. However, he couldn't let Shen Xinyi cripple him.
*Swish...* With a quick movement, he clamped his legs around Shen Xinyi's beautiful leg.
"Ouch..." Shen Xinyi hadn't expected Lu Fan to know such a technique. She tried to pull her leg back, but after a couple of forceful tugs, not only did it not come free, but her face turned red... Damn Lu Fan, moving like that, wasn't it awkward?
"You scoundrel! Let me go!" Shen Xinyi cried out, both embarrassed and anxious.
"Sister Xinyi! If I let you go, you can't hit me anymore," Lu Fan shouted urgently.
"Get lost...!" Shen Xinyi tried to pull her leg back forcefully.
Seeing Shen Xinyi truly flustered, Lu Fan panicked and immediately released her leg.
"Ah..." Shen Xinyi cried out in surprise. With the momentum of her forceful pull, her body suddenly tilted backward and she fell.
*Whoosh...* Lu Fan lunged forward and caught Shen Xinyi in his arms. As one leaned back and the other lunged forward, their balance completely lost, strangely, Lu Fan managed to hold onto Shen Xinyi.
The position they were in brought their faces almost together, their eyes meeting. For a moment, both froze.
"Hmph... I don't need you to worry about me!" Shen Xinyi's face suddenly flushed, and she said weakly.
*Plop...* Suddenly, they both fell to the ground. Lu Fan completely pinned Shen Xinyi beneath him, and their lips touched...
"Mmm..." Shen Xinyi hadn't expected this brat to take advantage of her. She tightly closed her small mouth, afraid to move or speak. She wondered if speaking would make this brat push his advantage even further.
Lu Fan's mind went completely blank at that moment...
"Lu Fan! Get off me! I'm your girlfriend!" At this moment, Fan Xue'er roared from the side.
*Swish...* Lu Fan suddenly snapped back to reality and shot up from the ground.
Shen Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at Lu Fan, "Lu Fan! I won't let you off!"
After speaking, Shen Xinyi got up from the ground and fled hastily. She hadn't expected her first kiss to be stolen by this brat like this. Hmph... This matter... This matter... Strangely, shouldn't she be very angry? Why wasn't she angry at all?
"Lu Fan! You did that on purpose? You need to give me an explanation!" Fan Xue'er said angrily from the side.
"I forgot to tell you, I have no plans to have a girlfriend right now! Fan Xue'er, I'm only taking care of you because I promised Elder Fan! So, there's nothing to explain." Lu Fan took a deep breath. He hadn't expected... he hadn't expected... Sigh! Forget it! His most important thing right now was to make money.
Zhao Rongrong and Lu Changfu hadn't expected their son to bring back a beautiful woman after going out. They didn't know if they should be happy or not??? Their son had been getting involved with too many beautiful women lately, and each one was prettier than the last.
"Your father! You say... will our son go astray? How could he bring girls home like this?" Zhao Rongrong looked at Lu Changfu with a worried expression.
"Go astray from what? Our son is capable. Didn't you always worry that our son wouldn't be able to find a wife? Now you don't have to worry." Lu Changfu also said with a helpless expression.
"But, which girl does this child actually like? Who should I be nice to in the future? Sigh! Is it okay to be involved with so many at once?" Zhao Rongrong sighed, feeling like she didn't know how to act anymore.
"Be nice to all of them! We don't know what this child is thinking!" Lu Changfu also said with some helplessness. "It's fine to be involved with a few. It's just more choices. But I'm afraid this child will learn from Cao Cao and tie all the boats together. If he meets a Zhou Yu or something, and they set a fire, not a single one will be left! What will happen then?"
Lu Fan was unaware that his parents were worrying about him. He gave his room to Fan Xue'er and Lin Fang and moved to the small clinic himself.
Lin Fang and Fan Xue'er were both surprised to see the large luggage in the room. The three of them had returned empty-handed, with only Fan Xue'er carrying a small bag. How did these suitcases appear?
Hiding in the small clinic, Lu Fan took out the Spirit Gathering Bottle. He looked inside with a slightly unfocused eye and a look of surprise appeared on his face. When he was in the provincial capital, the Spirit Gathering Bottle had swallowed the pendant bought from Elder Fan. Now, there were five drops of spirit liquid inside. He wondered if the Spirit Gathering Bottle would react to the raw stone Elder Fan had given him.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan also took out the raw stone. *Buzz buzz buzz...* The Spirit Gathering Bottle immediately vibrated. It was clear that this raw stone was also something the Spirit Gathering Bottle desired! Hahaha!
"Lu Fan! Lu Fan..."
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan's voice came from outside the door.
Lu Fan quickly put the Spirit Gathering Bottle and the raw stone aside and went to open the door for Liu Ruyan.
"Lu Fan... you... where have you been for the past two days?!" Liu Ruyan stood at the door, hesitating to speak. After receiving a call from Shen Xinyi, Liu Ruyan had immediately come to find Lu Fan. But along the way, she had thought about it repeatedly and didn't know whether to confront him. Her family... would there be a future with Lu Fan? If not, on what grounds could she confront him?
"Ru Yan! Come in quickly. I haven't been home for these two days. Is your illness alright?" Lu Fan, not noticing Liu Ruyan's expression, hurriedly pulled Liu Ruyan into the small clinic. He made Liu Ruyan sit on the bed, held her jade wrist, and felt her pulse.
Liu Ruyan hesitated to speak, quietly letting Lu Fan examine her pulse, her heart filled with complex emotions...
"Eh? Ru Yan, you're controlling the extreme yin energy within you quite well. Let me take a look." Lu Fan said, intending to have Liu Ruyan lie down on the bed to examine her.
"Lu Fan... my illness has gotten much better. From now on... you won't have to treat me every day," Liu Ruyan suddenly reached out and pressed her collar, saying weakly.
"Ru Yan! What's wrong?" Lu Fan was stunned, not understanding why she was preventing him from touching her.
"Lu Fan! You... you already have a girlfriend. It wouldn't be good if your girlfriend saw you like this," Liu Ruyan said weakly after a moment of hesitation.
"Heh... Heh heh! Ru Yan! Fan Xue'er is not my girlfriend!" Lu Fan suddenly chuckled.
"Really?" Liu Ruyan's eyes immediately lit up.
"Of course it's true! And I have no plans to have a girlfriend right now. My most important task is to make money and get rich!" Lu Fan suddenly said with great spirit.
Liu Ruyan instantly slumped over, feeling an urge to kick this brat away. Had this brat's emotional intelligence been eaten by a dog?
