Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Ning Fan Ordered to Flirt_1
"Ah? Miss Xu, what do you mean?" Ning Fan asked, a bit perplexed.
"What I mean is that the Yuan Family, where Miss Yuan is from, holds a significant position in the provincial city, especially her grandfather, Yuan Huaiyi, who was a high-ranking official in the city and only stepped down not long ago. Ning Fan, interacting more with him will definitely benefit your future development in the provincial city," Xu Yourong explained.
"I see," Ning Fan nodded, pretending to be relieved.
"What? What did you think I meant?" Xu Yourong asked, puzzled.
"I thought... Miss Xu, you wouldn’t mind me getting in touch with other women," Ning Fan said boldly, his face slightly red.
"Oh? It seems that you finally feel a sense of crisis, huh? Hehe, not bad at all." Seeing Ning Fan react this way, Xu Yourong couldn’t help but laugh cheerfully, feeling very pleased.
If Ning Fan felt a crisis, it meant he cared about her!
"Cough cough..." Ning Fan’s face turned even redder, at a loss for words.
"Hmph, Yourong is letting you chase girls by imperial edict, are you feeling over the moon inside?"
On the side, Su Qingcheng said something utterly unexpected.
"Qingcheng, what nonsense are you talking about?" Now, Xu Yourong was having none of it.
"It’s true, isn’t it? You’re letting him chase girls by imperial edict! Openly cozying up to that girl surnamed Yuan!" Su Qingcheng teased deliberately.
"I would never do that. Even for the reason Miss Xu mentioned, I wouldn’t intentionally get in touch with Miss Yuan because of it,"
Ning Fan shook his head seriously.
In the future, he indeed planned to develop in the provincial city, but he had no plans to use Yuan Yonglin’s status to his advantage.
Just as he hadn’t used Xu Yourong’s status for his development in River City.
He possessed his mother’s legacy, and with that, he had confidence.
Relying on himself was already enough!
"Humph, clearly wanting it but not daring to admit,"
Su Qingcheng pouted and huffed.
...
After leaving the scene, Ning Fan and the two ladies were planning to head back, but Xu Yourong received a phone call and suddenly said, "Ning Fan, I’ve got news of a Magic Artifact auction happening soon, let’s go check it out?"
"Magic Artifact?" Ning Fan was taken aback.
Ever since he inherited his mother’s legacy, he had gradually learned about many things unknown to ordinary people, and Magic Artifacts indeed existed.
"Sure, let’s go have a look," Ning Fan nodded.
He really did want to see for himself.
Quickly, the trio arrived at a hotel where the Magic Artifact exchange was being held in a small hall.
Not many people were inside the hall; according to the information Xu Yourong had received, this was a small-scale auction, with only the rich and noble being notified, all having considerable economic strength.
"Miss Xu?"
No sooner had the three of them walked into the hall than a surprised voice rang out.
Afterward, a young man hurried forward to greet Xu Yourong with an eager face that showed both flattery and admiration.
"You are..." Xu Yourong couldn’t remember the man’s name for a moment.
"I’m Zuo Tao! Miss Xu, have you forgotten? We met at a banquet last week," the young man said hastily.
"So it’s Young Master Zuo, hello," Xu Yourong then recalled.
It turned out, last week, Xu Guoping had forced her to attend a high-society banquet where this Zuo Tao, scion of a minor family, was instantly smitten with her. But as Zuo’s family was not prominent, he hadn’t dared to get too close to her then.
Today’s Qingyun list wasn’t something Zuo Tao considered for himself, knowing his limits, he chose not to participate and instead, attended this minor auction.
Now having bumped into Xu Yourong, Zuo Tao’s heart blossomed with joy, feeling fate was on his side. Maybe he could use this auction as an opportunity to win her affection.
For a moment, he even daydreamed about marrying into the Xu Family, securing the beauty, and simultaneously inheriting the Xu Family wealth.
However, the next second, his beautiful dream was mercilessly shattered.
"Young Master Zuo, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Ning Fan, and this is my best friend, Su Qingcheng."
"Ning Fan, Qingcheng, this is Zuo Tao," Xu Yourong introduced them.
"Boyfriend?"
Zuo Tao gave Ning Fan a disdainful look, then turned to Xu Yourong and said, "Miss Xu, there’s a rumor outside, saying that when you were in River City, you found a stand-in to pretend to be your boyfriend. It wouldn’t be him, would it?"
"Young Master Zuo, please show some respect to my boyfriend. He is not just a stand-in; he’s the real deal, my boyfriend," Xu Yourong frowned, sounding displeased.
"Hello, I’m Ning Fan, Miss Xu’s boyfriend. Well, if you want to think of me as a shield, you can. I am Miss Xu’s true boyfriend as well as her shield, and I will block all the arrows of ill intent aimed at her," Ning Fan said quietly. After speaking, he boldly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Xu Yourong’s shoulders.
Xu Yourong gave Ning Fan a glance, secretly smiling at the corner of her mouth, and then subtly leaned her body more towards Ning Fan, gently resting against his chest.
Seeing the two so close together, Zuo Tao’s face turned green with envy, but he couldn’t make a scene and had no choice but to change the subject, saying, "Miss Xu, are you here for today’s auction as well? I tell you, you really came on the right day!"
"Oh? Why is that?" Xu Yourong, embraced by Ning Fan, felt both safe and happy, her mood uplifted as she spoke.
Zuo Tao, pretending to be secretive, lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss Xu, have you heard of the very popular Spirit Qi Water lately? The kind that, when drunk, can strengthen the body, extend life, rejuvenate and smooth the skin? I’ll let you in on a secret in advance, what’s being auctioned today... is the Magic Artifact that can produce Spirit Qi Water!"
