Chapter 368: Chapter 392: Anyway, I’ve Fallen in Love with You

Fang Yi hadn’t expected Xu He to still remember him, but regarding Xu He’s invitation, Fang Yi would naturally accept.

"Okay," Fang Yi nodded.

"Alright, having said that, let’s talk about the serious matter at hand," Shen Binan’s expression became somewhat stern.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Fang Yi asked.

"Not exactly difficulties. You should know about the Luo Family where my mother is from," Shen Binan said.

Fang Yi nodded; he certainly knew about this. A few months ago, he had dealt with Luo Mingyuan and his son Luo Hao from the Luo Family. At the time, Luo Hao had tried to play dirty tricks on Fang Yi, but Fang Yi discovered it and punched Luo Hao into unconsciousness. He didn’t know if he had turned Luo Hao into a vegetable.

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "What, is the Luo Family causing trouble again?"

Shen Binan said, "The person in charge of the Luo Family, that is, my grandmother, she’s interested in Longtu Group. She visited our house the other day and declared that she wants 50 percent of Longtu Group’s shares to be relinquished by our Shen family."

"On what grounds?"

"Grounds?" At this point, Shen Binan couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "What other reason could there be? Of course, it’s about my mother; they say my dad stole my mother away years ago, and now they want 50 percent of the stock as compensation."

Fang Yi sighed and said, "The Luo Family really has no shame."

Shen Binan scoffed and said, "When my dad was expanding Longtu Group, he never stopped sending benefits to the Luo Family, but they were never satisfied and even escalated their demands! Luckily, my dad handed the company over to me, so I definitely won’t give them that 50 percent of the shares!"

However, Fang Yi had a thought and said, "Wait, telling me this is useless, isn’t it? Can I even help you?"

At this point, a blush crawled across Shen Binan’s icy, beautiful face.

Fang Yi vaguely felt something was amiss but couldn’t put his finger on what it was.

Ahead was a bend in the road; Shen Binan steered the wheel, bringing the car to a stop at the roadside.

Then, Shen Binan suddenly turned around, staring at Fang Yi, "Does it count?"

Fang Yi was utterly confused, "What do you mean, ’does it count’?"

Anger mixed with embarrassment shone in Shen Binan’s beautiful eyes, as if there was an urge to beat Fang Yi up, but for some reason, she suddenly seemed deflated, like a frostbitten eggplant.

"What’s going on?" Fang Yi asked softly.

"The Luo Family said that it’s okay not to give the 50 percent of the shares, but I would have to marry into the Luo Family," Shen Binan’s voice carried a hint of resentment.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"What the fuck!" Fang Yi swore immediately.

Clearly pressured to a certain extent, Shen Binan gave a bitter smile and said, "You must find this ridiculous."

However, Fang Yi couldn’t find it amusing; he shook his head and asked, "Who does the Luo Family want you to marry?"

Shen Binan said, "My uncle’s son, that is, my cousin."

Fang Yi frowned and said, "We’re not in ancient times anymore, are we? Is this still a thing?"

In ancient times, before scientific studies, cousins marrying each other was common, often done to bring families closer.

But what kind of society was this? This was modern times, and such actions now amounted to inbreeding, with a high probability of resulting in deformed children. This showed how horrific the Luo Family’s intentions towards Shen Binan were.

After a long time, Fang Yi took a deep breath and said, "I won’t let you marry into that family."

Shen Binnan asked, "Why?"

Fang Yi replied, "What other reason could there be, of course, it’s because you’re the woman I’ve set my sights on. Whoever wants to take you away will have to see if I, Fang Yi, agree or not!"

Shen Binnan glared at him fiercely and said, "What do you mean ’the woman you’ve set your sights on’? Don’t speak nonsense."

Fang Yi chuckled and said, "But that’s a fact."

Shen Binnan said, "But I haven’t fallen in love with you yet."

Fang Yi, however, responded arrogantly, "I don’t care whether you’ve fallen in love with me, the fact is, I have fallen in love with you."

"You... you’re being unreasonable!" Shen Binnan retorted, slightly annoyed, but for some reason, her heart contained traces of joy.

At the time she’d learned this news, Shen Binnan felt it was a bolt from the blue for her, but now with Fang Yi by her side, she suddenly felt that with this guy in front of her taking the brunt, she didn’t need to tough it out on her own.

After all, she was a woman and there were times when she felt bitter and weary. When she was tired and exhausted, having someone shield her from the wind and the rain could soften even a heart as hard and cold as stone.

Humans have emotions and desires; hearts can’t always be ice-cold and hard. Without emotions and desires, one wouldn’t be human.

"I suddenly feel that the Luo Family’s sudden actions must be backed by someone," Fang Yi suddenly remarked.

"Hmm," Shen Binnan nodded, "I didn’t expect you to notice too. The Luo Family never dared to make such outrageous demands in the past, but now they dare to do such things. There must be someone instigating it."

Fang Yi didn’t delve deeper; making assumptions in the car wouldn’t lead to any solid conclusions.

Therefore, Fang Yi said, "Then using this opportunity, I’ll fully eradicate this hidden danger."

The Luo Family was located in Southern Domain City, and Fang Yi vaguely remembered that the White Tiger Alliance had a presence there. With this in mind, the matter seemed easily resolvable.

The next evening after work, Fang Yi and Shen Binnan left the office together and headed straight for the Moon City Sports Center.

This time, Fang Yi was driving. Yet, before they even reached the sports center, the area was already impenetrably crowded. When Fang Yi drove onto Futian Square, the square itself was almost overrun with people, and combined with those coming from the subway exits, the number was overwhelming.

Slightly caught in a traffic jam, Fang Yi looked at those holding light sticks or wearing decorative ears and sighed, "Xu He is really popular, huh."

"Of course she is," Shen Binnan said. "Now the box office for the movies she stars in, even an art film can accumulate two or three hundred million. If she didn’t have real talent, how could she survive in the entertainment industry?"

"It seems I should get her autograph," Fang Yi said.

"What do you want her autograph for?" Shen Binnan asked.

Fang Yi replied, "Now that she’s so hot, if she signs a few hundred posters for me, I can sell them and definitely make a fortune."

"..."

Shen Binnan rolled her eyes at his shamelessness.

With the traffic being somewhat congested, Fang Yi simply found a place to park the car. After parking, he walked with Shen Binnan to the sports center.

Outside the sports center, there were many scalpers busily soliciting business. They were not selling tickets but buying them and then reselling them at a markup, which showed how much these scalpers adored Xu He.

Moreover, Fang Yi and Shen Binnan had to queue for half an hour before they could finally enter the venue.

Once inside, Shen Binnan took out her phone and called Xu He. After hanging up, Shen Binnan beckoned to Fang Yi and went straight to the back of the stage to meet Xu He.

Xu He had obviously been waiting and was very happy to see Shen Binnan. She grabbed Shen Binnan’s hand and walked inside, also gesturing for Fang Yi to follow.

At that moment, Xu He was dressed fabulously, wearing a crystal blue princess dress with her ebony hair pinned up and skin like jade. She radiated an ethereal beauty, appearing as if she was above worldly concerns.

Xu He chatted with Shen Binnan for a while and then casually glanced at Fang Yi, who was wandering backstage. She smiled and said, "Fang Yi, come over here."
