Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Coming Clean to Xu Yourong _1

"Er, it’s nothing. I’ll go cook for us."

Ning Fan hadn’t yet figured out how to explain things to Lin Xiaoling and Ding Hongxia, so he found an excuse and put away the marriage certificates.

The family of three hadn’t been together in a long time, and after happily finishing their meal, they talked for a long while.

Ning Fan and Lin Xiaoling took out all the documents for Tianling Pharmaceutical, the equity papers, as well as the bank account information, and showed them to Ding Hongxia. Only then did she finally believe that they were wealthy.

"Little Fan, you’ve finally made something of yourself! I always knew you wouldn’t just be an ordinary person! Our family can now be considered a match for the Xu Family. Little Fan, Mom supports you and Miss Xu’s relationship!"

Ding Hongxia cried tears of joy, her face full of relief.

"Mom, you don’t have to go back to Zhong County anymore. Just stay here with Ling’er and enjoy life."

Although Ding Hongxia and Lin Xiaoling weren’t related to Ning Fan by blood, he had always treated them as his real family.

That night, Ning Fan returned to his room, just took out his cell phone, and a video call popped up.

After connecting, Xu Yourong’s face appeared.

"Ning Fan, did you miss me?" Xu Yourong asked.

"Of course I missed... Miss Xu, are you doing okay?" Ning Fan’s face turned slightly red.

"Hehe, to know that you missed me means I didn’t miss you for nothing. By the way, did you go see Qing Cheng?" Xu Yourong asked again.

"I did." Ning Fan nodded, and then he looked down at the seven marriage certificates in his hand, hesitated for just a moment, and said to Xu Yourong, "Miss Xu, I... have something I want to tell you."

"Oh? What’s that? You look so serious. You’re not going to break up with me, are you?" Xu Yourong joked, deliberately using a worried and frightened tone.

"No, no, how could that be? Why would I want to break up with you? What I want to say is, Miss Su gave me seven marriage certificates today... I really didn’t know about this before... I didn’t mean to keep it from you..."

Ning Fan said sincerely.

"Hehe, so that’s what you wanted to say? Seven marriage certificates, plus the one from Qing Cheng, my goodness, you have eight fiancées?" Xu Yourong exaggerated on purpose.

"Miss Xu, I’ve already returned Miss Su’s marriage certificate to her, and I’ve already broken off the engagement with her. As for the other seven certificates, I will also reject each one of them! Miss Xu, you’re the only one in my heart..." Ning Fan said earnestly.

"Actually, Qing Cheng already told me about this a while ago, but are you really willing to give up seven or eight fiancées just for me? There’s an old saying, isn’t there? Don’t give up the forest for one tree," Xu Yourong continued.

"Miss Xu, my heart isn’t big enough to hold a whole forest, it can only hold one tree, you. I’d rather give up..." Ning Fan said gravely.

"Hehe, okay, stop, if you say anymore, I might be moved to tears," Xu Yourong chuckled, interrupting Ning Fan. Although joking with her mouth, the corners of her eyes seemed to really flicker with tears.

She could feel Ning Fan’s sincerity.

"Alright, I’m going to take a bath and go to bed, let’s not talk anymore. You should rest early too. Oh, and Qing Cheng might encounter some difficulties these days, so you must help her, okay?" Xu Yourong, afraid that tears would fall and be seen by Ning Fan, quickly finished speaking and hung up the call.

"Miss Xu, I won’t let you down."

After putting down the phone, Ning Fan murmured to himself as his gaze swept over those seven marriage certificates.

Huh?

Ning Fan suddenly made a curious noise.

He had carelessly thrown the seven marriage certificates on the bed, backside up.

Ning Fan noticed that the patterns on the back of these marriage certificates were somewhat strange.

Each certificate’s pattern was different, but when combined, they seemed to form some sort of picture...

Ning Fan immediately began trying to piece them together.

...

Meanwhile.

As soon as Xu Yourong hung up the video call with Ning Fan, Su Qingcheng called.

"Yourong, I’ve already returned the seven marriage certificates to Ning Fan. I think he won’t pass this test," Su Qingcheng said as soon as the video call connected.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, after learning that Xu Yourong was returning to the provincial city, Su Qingcheng told her everything about the marriage certificates on WeChat, of course keeping secret the one that belonged to Xu Yourong.

In Su Qingcheng’s view, these seven marriage certificates were a deadly test for Ning Fan.

Give up seven fiancées for a single woman?

She didn’t believe there was a man in this world who could do it!

"Hehe, Ning Fan just told me. He said his heart isn’t big enough for a forest; it can only hold one tree... Hehe!" Xu Yourong repeated Ning Fan’s words, her face full of sweet smiles.

"Oh, Yourong, Yourong, you’re just blinded by his sweet talk!" Su Qingcheng shook her head helplessly.

"He’s not just sweet-talking; he’s very sincere! Oh, and Qing Cheng, I’ll have to ask you to look after Ning Fan from now on. His career has just started, and with me not around, it’s inevitable that some in River City will have designs on him. For my sake, you must help him..." Xu Yourong said.

"What a joke! I’m not going to help him! Not even for your sake!" Su Qingcheng categorically said.

"Come on, Qing Cheng, I’m begging you. Besides, aren’t you one of his fiancées as well? Even if you don’t do it for my sake, you should consider your own!" Xu Yourong urged.

"I’ve already broken off our engagement; I’m not confused like you are! Hmph! But it won’t last long. In half a month, it’ll be the Qingyun List selection. Don’t forget our bet! If Ning Fan doesn’t make it into the top ten of the Qingyun List, you have to break up with him!" Su Qingcheng huffed.

"Fine, but don’t you forget yourself. If Ning Fan makes it into the top ten of the Qingyun List, you have to resume your engagement with him and marry him with me! Hehe! I think, being with Ning Fan is your fate, something you can’t escape! Hehe!" Xu Yourong retorted confidently.
