Chapter 87: A Man's Honor
The three of them came down from the mountain and soon found a night market, then a bustling street food stall. After eating and drinking their fill, Chen Yuanyuan saw Song Wenwen off.
After Song Wenwen left, Zhang Xiaofan immediately became restless, and Chen Yuanyuan’s face flushed red at once.
“Baby, let’s hurry home, hehe...” Zhang Xiaofan breathed softly by her ear and spoke in a low voice.
Chen Yuanyuan was instantly teased until her thoughts drifted, and she pouted, “You’re so bad.”
“Hehe, a man has to be a little bad for a woman to love him.” Zhang Xiaofan had already kneaded the soft mound in his hands until it lost its shape, and his breathing grew rough.
“No, let’s go back quickly.” Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly pulled his large hand away.
“Alright, leave your car here. I’ll have someone drive it back for you tomorrow.” Zhang Xiaofan said, then simply lifted Chen Yuanyuan into his arms and carried her toward his Cayenne, gently placing her into the front passenger seat.
Not long after the silver Cayenne drove off, the window of a red Mercedes rolled down slowly.
“I knew you two weren’t normal. Fine, you little bitch, you actually kept it from me. Afraid I’d steal your man or something?” Song Wenwen muttered in displeasure, then slammed on the accelerator and the Mercedes shot away.
By the time they reached Chen Yuanyuan’s home, it was already two in the morning. After a night of pleasure, Zhang Xiaofan unleashed himself to the fullest, and Chen Yuanyuan reached the peak again and again. They had promised not to go crazy, but in the end both of them were utterly mad.
The next morning, while Chen Yuanyuan was still asleep, Zhang Xiaofan had already left.
His destination was the Shanshui Manor Villa. It was Sunday, so President Lin did not need to go to work.
“Si Yu, my love for you towers above the heavens. These nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses are my sincerity. Be my girlfriend.” When Zhang Xiaofan arrived at the villa, he saw the courtyard covered in roses, and then he saw Han Ruofei making his earnest confession.
One had to admit, it was damn romantic.
Zhang Xiaofan watched with interest as he confessed, and it was actually rather amusing.
“Si Yu, we are well matched by status and family background. How can that damn bodyguard compare to me? He can’t give you happiness.” Han Ruofei continued.
“Damn it, why are you involving me again? If you want to confess, confess. What the hell does it have to do with me?” Zhang Xiaofan was unhappy. He simply stepped on the accelerator and directly crushed the sea of carefully arranged roses.
At that moment, Lin Siyu, who was standing on the second floor and already very annoyed, could not help but burst out laughing, inwardly thinking that this fellow was truly wicked.
As for Han Ruofei, Lin Siyu was truly helpless. Han Ruofei’s father had gone to her grandfather, Lin Haonan, to ask for a matchmaker’s help, and her grandfather had also told her that even if she did not agree, she should not beat the man up, after all, he was the son of the Party Secretary.
Clearly, Han Ruofei’s father had gone to complain to her grandfather.
And so, early this morning, Han Ruofei had come with a grand romantic confession. The man looked sincere, and had gone to such trouble arranging everything. She could hardly just chase him away.
While Lin Siyu was fretting over the matter, Zhang Xiaofan arrived and directly flattened the flower sea. That little lecher was never afraid to do anything.
“Yo, who’s this? Selling flowers here first thing in the morning?” Zhang Xiaofan parked the car, looked at Han Ruofei, whose face was burning with rage, and said lightly.
Han Ruofei was about to explode. The flower sea he had personally arranged was flattened just like that... and this kid had obviously done it on purpose. After getting out of the car, he even stomped on the roses on the ground.
“You little bastard, you’re asking for trouble!”
Han Ruofei stared coldly at Zhang Xiaofan, his voice icy.
Slap.
Zhang Xiaofan said nothing and simply delivered a heavy slap, then stood there quietly, looking at him with a faint smile.
“You want to die!” Han Ruofei clutched his mouth, furious.
Naturally, another slap followed, this one landing on the other side of his face, leaving both cheeks swollen in a rather symmetrical way.
After that, Zhang Xiaofan still calmly watched Han Ruofei and smiled.
This time Han Ruofei finally learned his lesson. He turned and ran. He could not beat him anyway, so why stay here and suffer?
“You little bastard, just wait!”
After running quite a distance, Han Ruofei turned back and raised his middle finger fiercely at Zhang Xiaofan, looking outrageously arrogant.
“Oh my.”
Zhang Xiaofan immediately pretended to chase after him, frightening Han Ruofei so much that he hurriedly got into his car and sped away.
“Show-off, trying to fight me.”
Zhang Xiaofan stomped on the roses again, rubbed his nose, and walked into the villa.
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll take revenge on you?” In the living room, Lin Siyu said with a light laugh.
“So what if he dares? I’ll beat the crap out of him.” Zhang Xiaofan took a sip of water and said indifferently. He did not take such spoiled young masters seriously.
“Hm? Why do you smell like women’s perfume?” Lin Siyu sniffed, then looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said, “Did you go see a woman last night?”
“Yes, I was busy all night.” Zhang Xiaofan answered almost casually.
Who would have thought that Lin Siyu would suddenly smash the teacup on the coffee table to the floor and angrily say, “Get out. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Zhang Xiaofan froze. What was this about? Even if you were joking, did you really need to make it this convincing?
Then he smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Come on, smile.”
“Get lost! I’m calling my grandfather right now. From this moment on, you are no longer my bodyguard!”
Lin Siyu seemed extremely angry, because she saw that Zhang Xiaofan actually had lip prints on his neck, and there were even plenty of red marks on him.
This fellow must have gone to see a woman last night, and he must have even slept with her. The more Lin Siyu thought about it, the angrier she became.
Zhang Xiaofan was angry too. What, acting all high and mighty with me? You picked the wrong person. But when it came to a woman, he truly did not want to argue. His expression darkened, and he abruptly stood up, flicked his sleeve, and walked out.
Outside, he saw his Hummer parked in the lot. He got in immediately and drove off without looking back.
The thunderous roar of the engine startled Lin Siyu awake at once, and she ran out from the villa.
She also seemed to realize she had gone too far. She was not his anything, so what did it matter if he slept with some other woman?
“Come back!” Lin Siyu shouted after the departing Hummer, but how could Zhang Xiaofan hear her? And even if he did, would he come back?
“I only said a couple of things to you. Was that really necessary?” Lin Siyu felt so wronged she could almost cry.
The number she dialed reached a dead line.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off...”
Unable to do anything, Lin Siyu walked back in and sank weakly onto the sofa.
She knew Zhang Xiaofan very likely would not be coming back.
On the city road, the Hummer shot forward like lightning, racing at high speed. Several police cars chased after it, but all were left behind.
For Lin Siyu, Zhang Xiaofan also had feelings he could not clearly explain. He knew that, to some extent, he did like her.
But he truly could not endure a woman telling him to get lost. That was a man’s dignity, something that could not be crossed. No one could.
The Hummer drove on without direction, and eventually, for reasons even he did not know, it stopped by the sea. He rolled down the window and looked at the blue water, letting his heart settle.
Aside from that woman in the Dragon Soul, Lin Siyu was the first woman who had ever thrown his mind into turmoil.
“The path of martial cultivation values following one’s heart, yet why am I so easily bound by emotion? I am still human, after all. How could I possibly have no feelings?”
Zhang Xiaofan murmured inwardly, staring blankly at the blue sea outside the window.
The waves rolled and crashed without pause, sending up spray after spray. Wasn’t life just like these waves, full of rises and falls?
Lin Siyu was merely a tiny ripple in his life.
As he thought and thought, Zhang Xiaofan’s heart gradually became calm and clear. His eyes, fixed on the sea, grew bright.
At that very moment, the Nine Heavens True Dragon Art began to circulate on its own. The spiritual energy within his body surged as if boiling, and the formless energy of heaven and earth all rushed toward Zhang Xiaofan.
The barrier in the mid-stage of Spirit Opening Realm shattered in an instant, and Zhang Xiaofan stepped directly into the mid-stage of Spirit Opening Realm.
The spiritual power within him grew even more immense, and Zhang Xiaofan felt indescribably comfortable.
He got out of the car and consolidated his cultivation by the sea. With a mind clear as a mirror and qi flowing like a great river, as the Nine Heavens True Dragon Art circulated, his cultivation speed became even faster after entering the mid-stage of Spirit Opening Realm.
