Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Xu Yourong Leaves_1

"Miss Xu, eloping or anything of the sort is too unfair to you. Trust me, I’ll soon be able to proudly win your parents’ and relatives’ acceptance for us."

Ning Fan said earnestly, as eloping with Xu Yourong was naturally out of the question for him.

"Hehe, in any case, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It would naturally be great if you could gain the approval of my family, but if they still refuse to accept you, then... eloping could be considered an option."

Xu Yourong said with a smile, her cheeks turning a faint red.

Deeply moved, Ning Fan chose not to continue on this topic.

Next, the four of them drove back to River City. They first dropped Ding Hongxia off at Ning Fan’s villa to meet Lin Xiaoling, and then they went to the Xu Family’s hilltop villa.

At the entrance of the hilltop villa, Xu Guoping, Xue Zheng, and Xue Shengbei were standing there. Seeing Xu Yourong return safely, Xu Guoping’s darkened face finally eased a bit.

"I’ll go in and tidy up first."

After getting out of the car, Xu Yourong walked into the hilltop villa with Qiu Li.

Meanwhile, Ning Fan stood waiting on the lawn with Xu Guoping and the others.

Xu Guoping did not even glance at Ning Fan and said nothing.

Xue Zheng observed Ning Fan from the corner of his eye, thoughtful.

Xue Shengbei, however, made no attempt to hide his hostility towards Ning Fan, speaking in a tone one reserves for enemies, "Ning Fan, just where did you deceive Miss Xu into going last night?"

"I didn’t deceive her. I simply went with Miss Xu to the neighboring Seaside City," Ning Fan replied.

"To Seaside City? Why would you take Miss Xu to Seaside City for no reason?" Xue Shengbei pressed on.

Ning Fan’s brows furrowed slightly, about to speak.

Suddenly, one of the men received a phone call and hurried over to Xu Guoping, announcing, "Mr. Xu, something major has happened in Seaside City!"

"What happened? Take your time and explain," Xu Guoping commanded, his expression unchanging.

"The head of the Seaside City’s prominent Yuan Family, Yuan SanguI, died suddenly last night!"

"In addition, Yuan SanguI’s son, Yuan Jigang, and his sister, Yuan Haili, are also dead!"

"This morning, the rest of the Yuan Family members suddenly announced that the Yuan Family will be dissolved. They’re donating all of the family’s tens of billions of apparent assets and will leave Seaside City to live in other cities..."

The subordinate reported in rapid succession.

"What? How is this possible?" Xue Shengbei exclaimed in shock.

Even Xue Zheng couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.

The Yuan Family was not on par with the Xu Family, but they were still a top family in Seaside City. To collapse overnight like this?

Could they have provoked some formidable figure?

"Understood."

Xu Guoping’s face went through several changes before he finally nodded and cast an inscrutable look at Ning Fan.

Just then, Xu Yourong and Qiu Li came out, handing Ning Fan a small palm-sized wooden box and said, "Ning Fan, I have something for you. Open it after I leave, okay?"

"Okay." Ning Fan took the small wooden box and nodded.

"Let’s go."

Xu Guoping said and climbed into the car.

Xu Yourong also got into her own vehicle.

The rest of the Xu Family members boarded their cars one after another, as the fleet prepared to set off.

The Xu Family would thus completely withdraw from River City and concentrate all their efforts on developing in the provincial city.

With the small wooden box in hand, Ning Fan watched Xu Yourong get into the car, his expression complex.

Vroom Vroom Vroom...

The cars started their engines, slowly pulling away.

Leaning out from the car window, Xu Yourong gave Ning Fan a gentle wave. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, yet she managed to smile and said, "Ning Fan, after I leave, take good care of yourself, okay?"

"I will, Miss Xu. I’ll come to see you very soon," Ning Fan nodded emphatically.

Whirr...

The car windows rose slowly, and the vehicles sped off, disappearing from Ning Fan’s sight.

In front of the gate of the hilltop villa, not a single person remained.

Ning Fan’s mood suddenly became incredibly desolate.

Xu Yourong was a beam of light in his life, illuminating the darkness and leading him out of his past shadows.

Now that Xu Yourong was gone.

He wished he could chase after her immediately.

But he knew that now was not the time.

He must enhance himself quickly to be with Xu Yourong for the long term.

With that thought, Ning Fan opened the small wooden box Xu Yourong had left him.

Inside the wooden box was a small white porcelain bottle and a piece of paper.

Ning Fan unfolded the paper, which bore Xu Yourong’s delicate handwriting.

"Ning Fan, I’ve left. Remember to miss me."

"Those ten True Elemental Elixirs, I’ll leave them to you for now. You need them more than I do at the moment, to strengthen yourself quickly so you can come to the provincial city soon... and propose to my family!"

"Oh, and Ning Fan, there’s another favor I need to ask of you. It’s about Qing Cheng. She’s my best friend, and she came to River City because she had something she needed my help with, but now I have to return to the provincial city. So, I am asking you to look after Qing Cheng for me during this time, if that’s okay?"

"I know you and Qing Cheng don’t really hit it off, but for my sake, can you tolerate her a bit more, please? Actually... despite being from the Capital City’s Su Family, she’s quite pitiable..."

"Besides me, there’s no one who understands her..."

"All right, Ning Fan, I won’t say much more..."

"If love persists through long years, how can it be measured by only days and nights?"

At the end, there was the neatly vigorous signature ’Xu Yourong’.

"Miss Xu, meeting you has been the good fortune of my life," Ning Fan said to himself, putting away the letter and looking at the ten True Elemental Elixirs in the small porcelain bottle once more.

Ring Ring Ring...

Just then, the phone in Ning Fan’s pocket began to ring.

"Ning Fan, I want to have a talk with you."

Upon answering the call, Su Qingcheng’s chilly voice came through.
