Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Breaking Off the Engagement with Eight Fiancées_1

Faced with everyone’s skepticism, Ning Fan said in a deep voice, "Uncle and aunt, this Jade Pendant is not an ordinary one. When worn, it can regulate one’s health, extend lifespan, and even improve physical fitness over time, restoring youthful vitality."

"Hahaha, that’s hilarious, Ning Fan, your lie could at least sound a bit more believable!" Xu Qingfeng burst into laughter, "How could such a shabby thing have the effects you describe?"

Xue Shengbei mocked, "Ning Fan, do you really think you can fool the Xu Family so easily?"

Disappointment filled the eyes of Xu Guoping and Dong Xiangyu; they couldn’t believe Ning Fan would say something so preposterous.

How could a mere Jade Pendant have such miraculous effects?

"Young man, you’d better take this Jade Pendant back yourself, my Xu Family doesn’t lack for such trinkets."

Dong Xiangyu pushed the Jade Pendant back and stared coldly at Ning Fan, slowly saying, "In addition, I’ve heard something else—you... have eight fiancées, is that so?"

"Yes, but..." Ning Fan paused, slightly taken aback.

"You really have eight fiancées? Then I would like to ask you, already having eight fiancées, on what grounds do you dare come to my house to propose to my daughter? Do you think my Xu Family’s daughter is worthless? Or that you can easily deceive the Xu Family?"

As Dong Xiangyu spoke, her voice grew increasingly icy.

"I..."

Ning Fan wanted to explain, but as he opened his mouth, he found that no explanation would suffice, no matter what he said, it would sound feeble.

"Please leave, you are not worthy of proposing to my daughter!"

Dong Xiangyu’s tone was harsh and adamant, leaving no room for negotiation.

Having said that, she no longer paid attention to Ning Fan, getting up and leaving straight away.

"Well, after you have canceled the engagements with those eight fiancées, you can come back to propose to my daughter."

Xu Guoping shook his head helplessly, clearly agreeing with his wife’s words.

After a moment of silence, Ning Fan knew the proposal was not going to happen today. He could only silently pack up the Jade Pendant. "Uncle, I indeed have eight fiancées, but Miss Su and I have already broken off our engagement. As for the other seven, I will cancel the engagements with them as soon as possible... And then, I will come back to propose to Miss Xu."

Having said that, Ning Fan turned and walked away.

Not long after he left, Xu Yourong chased out of the house.

She grabbed Ning Fan and extended her hand: "The Jade Pendant?"

Ning Fan didn’t know what she intended but still took out the two Jade Pendants, "Here, what are you going to do with it?"

Xu Yourong giggled and hung one of the Jade Pendants around her neck, then motioned to Ning Fan with her hand, "Come here a little closer."

Clueless, Ning Fan moved closer.

Suddenly, Xu Yourong stood on tiptoes, almost leaning into Ning Fan’s embrace, her soft fragrance wafting to his nose.

She extended her delicate arms and hung the Jade Pendant around Ning Fan’s neck, gently tying a knot.

From a distance, the two almost seemed wrapped in each other’s arms.

Ning Fan’s face turned slightly red as he touched the Jade Pendant on his neck, "What are you doing?"

"One for you and one for me, these are now our tokens of love!"

Xu Yourong casually wrapped her arms around Ning Fan’s neck and seriously said, "Ning Fan, I believe in you, so you must never give up on me!"

A wave of tenderness washed over Ning Fan’s heart. He wrapped his arms around Xu Yourong in response, firmly saying, "Miss Xu, rest assured, I will definitely cancel those seven engagements as soon as possible and then come back to propose to you!"

However, Xu Yourong shook her head, "What you said is not correct, oh, there are eight fiancées, including Qing Cheng."

She paused, then gave Ning Fan a meaningful wink, "But well... you don’t have to call off the engagement with Qing Cheng. She can marry you along with me!"

Ning Fan couldn’t help but laugh and smile, gently stroking her hair, "No, my heart only has room for you, and in this life, I will only marry you."

A surge of tender sweetness filled Xu Yourong’s heart, and she embraced Ning Fan tightly, unwilling to let go.

After a long while, they separated.

Xu Yourong accompanied Ning Fan to the intersection, and after he got into the car, she suddenly said, "Oh right, I’ll come over with Qing Cheng to have dinner with you tonight, so you’d better be prepared!"

Ning Fan nodded, and as the car started, the two exchanged lingering looks, reluctant to part.

...

On the other side, Fei Zhongzhi was still in the hospital with Fei Liang, his brow furrowed, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Alliance Hierarch, Alliance Hierarch! The divine doctor has been brought here!"

The subordinate hurried over, panting.

Fei Zhongzhi’s eyes lit up instantly, "Where is he?"

"Here, behind..."

No sooner had the subordinate finished speaking than a man in a white coat came striding forward, nodding slightly at Fei Zhongzhi, "Master Fei, I am He Wushang. May I know where the patient is?"

Without delay, Fei Zhongzhi led He Wushang to the ward to examine Fei Liang.

After a thorough examination, He Wushang frowned and shook his head, "No, your son’s injuries are too severe. Both hands and feet have sustained comminuted fractures... I can’t treat these injuries."

Fei Zhongzhi was taken aback, "Is there... really nothing that can be done?"

"Unless... we find the Bone Healing Ointment," He Wushang pondered. "If we obtain this miraculous medicine, it could mend your son’s bones and allow him to recover like a normal person."

"Bone Healing Ointment?" Fei Zhongzhi thought for a moment, "But I’ve never heard of such a miraculous medicine. Where can it be found?"

"Master Fei, rest assured, I happen to know a divine doctor who can prepare this medicine," He Wushang reassured.
