Chapter 222: Chapter 222 I’m Here to Break Off the Engagement_1

"What, what could happen? It’s just that when I was drunk on Spiritual Essence, I happened to have an attack... And then he treated my illness... But this time, it wasn’t like the last time on Lake Heart Island, I was conscious the whole time, I’m sure, he didn’t take advantage of me..."

Su Qingcheng said with a blushing face.

"I told you a long time ago, Ning Fan is not that kind of person! Oh, speaking of which, I’ve been meaning to ask you, why didn’t you tell me about your estrogen imbalance before? If you had told me earlier, maybe Ning Fan could have cured you a long time ago!" Xu Yourong added.

"I used to..." Su Qingcheng gave a bitter smile.

Because she had had this condition since childhood, a couple of decades had passed, and over time, she couldn’t always tell whether it was her desire to suppress the illness that made her adverse to men, or if it was her aversion to men that made her mistakenly think she had this illness...

"Let’s not talk about the past, no matter what, Qingcheng, you’re okay now, I really want to see you right away. What if I sneak over to River City tonight to see you?" Xu Yourong suddenly said.

"You’re coming to River City to see me? Cut it out, I bet you just want to see Ning Fan, right?" Su Qingcheng ruthlessly exposed her.

"Hehe, both, both, you’re both my dearest ones," Xu Yourong giggled.

"You’re comparing me to him now? Then let me ask you, if Ning Fan and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?" Su Qingcheng playfully said.

"I wouldn’t save either of you. Ning Fan is so capable, how could he possibly drown? I’d make Ning Fan come save you!" Xu Yourong blurted out without thinking.

The two women laughed and joked over the phone, a rare moment of carefree joy.

"All right, speaking seriously, aren’t you worried with Ning Fan being so high-profile now?" Su Qingcheng said with a hint of concern.

"I’m not worried!"

Xu Yourong shook her head without a second thought, then said, "Ning Fan is the man I’ve set my eyes on, I trust him! I was worried about him before because there wasn’t enough time for him to grow; but now, I’m not worried anymore, because I feel that Ning Fan has already grown up!"

"Really? Has he really grown up now?" Su Qingcheng questioned.

"To rapidly rise from an unknown ordinary person to the Underground King of River City, to the permanent honorary president of the River City Chamber of Commerce in just under a month... It can be said that now, he is already at the pinnacle of River City! Has anyone before him ever achieved this?" Xu Yourong stated.

"Not to mention, he is skilled in martial arts, medicine, feng shui... and even his cooking is so amazing!"

"So, what do I have to worry about?"

"Besides, the Qiyun Rankings selection is coming up soon. If he wants to enter the top ten, or even the top three of the Qiyun Rankings, he can’t afford to stay low-key!"

"Of course, Qingcheng, you come from the Capital City, you have a broader vision, you’ve met more outstanding people, but you can’t deny, with Ning Fan’s current rate of growth, it won’t take long for him to reach, or even surpass, those so-called geniuses you’ve come across in the Capital City!"

"But..."

Xu Yourong’s words left Su Qingcheng somewhat silent. Wanting to argue, she found that everything Xu Yourong said made sense, and for a moment, Su Qingcheng fell into contemplation.

In just a moment of distraction, when Su Qingcheng came back to her senses, she discovered that Xu Yourong had already dressed and walked out of the bathroom, holding a car key, ready to leave.

"Qingcheng, I’m about to drive, gotta hang up," Xu Yourong said.

"Huh? Yourong, it’s so late... where are you going?" Su Qingcheng asked in confusion.

"Didn’t I just say that I was coming to River City to see you guys? Did you forget?" Xu Yourong blinked her beautiful eyes, hung up the video call, slipped into a red Maserati, and drove out of the garage quietly, speeding toward River City in the night.

...

At River City, after a Chamber of Commerce gathering, Ning Fan arranged for Xu Yan and Li Wanshan to socialize with the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

He himself took Lin Xiaoling and Baldy Qiang to Tianling Pharmaceutical Company’s building.

Since he was going to the provincial city, Ning Fan needed to leave behind enough Rejuvenation Pills and Amulets.

Ning Fan had long passed on the formula for Rejuvenation Pills to Lin Xiaoling, but she hadn’t learned how to refine them yet, so Ning Fan had to refine more to stock up.

As for the Amulets, a small part was for self-defense, given to Baldy Qiang; the majority was for maintaining the Spirit Gathering Array, all of which was handed over to Lin Xiaoling.

Ning Fan used Amulets in Tianling Pharmaceutical Company’s building to set up a Spirit Gathering Array that continuously produced Spiritual Liquid, creating Spirit Qi Water.

However, to maintain the Spirit Gathering Array constantly, the consumption of Amulets was astonishing—dozens needed to be used every day.

Ning Fan refined Amulets at the company until late in the evening before going back.

When he returned to the villa, a woman was already waiting at the entrance.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, tall, with an exceptional figure, and her legs in long boots seemed impossibly elongated!

She was dressed in military attire, exuding a spirited and valiant aura all over.

On seeing Ning Fan return, the woman in military attire lifted her chin slightly and scrutinized Ning Fan with an evaluative gaze, then said:

"You must be Ning Fan? I’m here to break off our engagement."
