Young Master Lin~ Why don't you take off your clothes now?

Gu Wanqing also saw the notification panel on Liu Menghan.

[Destiny Path removed]

However, her focus was not on this line of text right now.

It was the fact that this woman was still clinging to Lin Ao.

"Ahem, well, Miss Liu. Could you please get up? Hehe."

Lin Ao truly couldn't handle this atmosphere anymore and hurriedly said something to ease the tension.

"My apologies, Mr. Lin. You look so much like an old friend of mine whom I haven't seen in such a long time that I couldn't help myself for a moment."

Liu Menghan smiled slightly, pulled away from Lin Ao's embrace, and stood up.

It was only then that Liu Menghan noticed the information panel on Lin Ao.

[Name: Lin Ao]

[Appearance: SSS]

[Personality: Complicated composition.]

[Hidden Attributes: Tsundere, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, zero resistance to women's tears.]

[Affection Level: 60.]

[Heart Rate: 110.]

[Current Goal: Get Liu Menghan to leave immediately.]

[H-Index: 50.]

[All data is updated in real-time.]

[Congratulations on breaking free from the Destiny Path.]

"To be determined?"

Liu Menghan's gaze caught the line about the fiancée in Lin Ao's information panel, and she curled her lips into an intriguing smile.

At the same time, she noticed the [Destiny Path removed] status on Gu Wanqing's information and fell into deep thought.

Gu Wanqing's expression only improved once she saw Liu Menghan stand up.

She hadn't had much contact with Liu Menghan before, only knowing some basic information.

The original head of the Liu Family was Liu Menghan's older brother, Liu Yichen.

After Liu Yichen and his wife were killed by enemies a year ago, Liu Menghan was forced to shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming the head of the Liu Family.

A year later, the orphan of the former Liu Family head went missing.

She had only met Liu Menghan once at a banquet, a mere nodding acquaintance.

However, she remembered that in her past life, Liu Menghan seemed to loathe Lin Ao, though the specific reason remained unknown.

Why did the current Liu Menghan look nothing like someone who hated Lin Ao?

Could it be that something had transpired between them?

No! She had to hurry up and marry Lin Ao, otherwise, it would be a huge loss if some accident occurred.

"Mr. Lin, I shall take my leave now. I need to take Nian home to let everyone know she is safe; our elders have been worried sick."

Liu Menghan stood up to leave; she needed to go back and sort out her thoughts.

"After I take Nian home and settle the elders, I will come to pay a formal visit to Mr. Lin."

She hadn't had a chance to study Lin Ao's information panel properly, and there were some things she wanted to ask Gu Wanqing, but now was not the right time.

"Miss Liu, actually... there's really no need to be so polite. This is just what any concerned citizen should do."

Lin Ao was so annoyed; you're coming back tomorrow?

If Ye Chen rolls into Jianghai in a while and sees this, won't he target me again?

I haven't even fully dealt with Xiao Fan, and now I have to handle that sinister brat surnamed Ye? What the hell!

Stay away! Must stay away!

[Current Status/Thoughts: Terrified! Big sister, I beg you not to come; if Ye Chen misunderstands, I'm going to be in big trouble!]

"Mr. Lin, this isn't just politeness. Such a great kindness must be properly repaid. It's settled then, I'm leaving."

Liu Menghan glanced at Lin Ao's information panel and smiled to herself. She didn't give Lin Ao any chance to retort and headed out to find Liu Nian.

The moment she stepped outside, Liu Menghan's expression shifted instantly; her face turned cold, and her eyes filled with killing intent.

Ye Chen?

In this lifetime, don't even think about getting your hands on the Liu Family, and don't even think about harming a single hair on Lin Ao's head.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Handsome Lin, you really are charming, aren't you? What? Is having me in these little black stockings not enough for you?"

After watching Liu Menghan leave, Gu Wanqing immediately sat down beside Lin Ao, her slender fingers tracing circles on his chest.

"What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with her; today was the first time we met. Besides, why do I even need to explain myself to you?"

Lin Ao felt bewildered as well; he never expected to run into Liu Menghan.

Wait a second!

Liu Nian!

Lin Ao frowned, lost in thought. Liu Nian?

Back when he was being controlled and passively flirting with Liu Menghan, he had heard her mention that her niece had gone missing and had never been found.

Why would she appear by his side this time?

He had never triggered any events involving a five-year-old girl before.

Because Liu Nian had always appeared before Lin Ao in the guise of the assassin Night Heron, he had absolutely no idea of Night Heron's true identity.

So, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he could never have guessed that the five-year-old girl was that little assassin.

What bothered him most right now, however, was Xiao Fan.

Having clashed with him so early on, Xiao Fan would surely come to assassinate him relentlessly later.

And these people were notoriously difficult to kill.

Lin Ao sighed, his head aching.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to pull up your pants and pretend you don't know me?"

Gu Wanqing grew anxious and grabbed Lin Ao by the collar. It wasn't like this on the Ferris wheel today; was there any part of her body he hadn't touched?

If it weren't for the limitations of the situation, who knew what would have happened next?

"Ahem, I haven't even taken my pants off yet..."

Lin Ao gave an awkward laugh. On the Ferris wheel, it was clearly her who had pinned him down and rubbed against him; how could she have the nerve to say he was pulling up his pants and denying her? Did she have any idea how crazy she had been back then?

She stole a glance at his status panel.

[Current Goal: Break off the engagement?]

The engagement break was marked with a large question mark, indicating that his heart was already wavering, but why did he keep wanting to break it off?

Was it because she hadn't seen the panel in the previous timeline?

Had he actually been thinking about breaking off the engagement the whole time?

Whatever, either way, he definitely wouldn't be able to break this engagement; she wouldn't even let him think about it!

"So, Young Master Lin~ how about you take them off now? Since you're injured, you can just lie there and not move~ I have very strong core strength~ don't worry~"

Gu Wanqing placed Lin Ao's hand on the waistband of her skirt.

The corners of Lin Ao's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

[Character Heart Rate: 150]

[H-Index: 99]

This crazy woman!

While Lin Ao and Gu Wanqing were being intimate in the hospital room, the situation on Xiao Fan's side was completely different.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of things being smashed echoed through the hall, and the person inside appeared extremely irritable and furious.

"Bastard! Bastard! Damn you, Lin Ao! I'm going to kill you!"

In a Dragon Gate stronghold, Xiao Fan, his head wrapped in bandages, kept smashing items in the room.

Monkey stood to the side, trembling; he had never seen Xiao Fan so utterly exasperated.

In the past, he had always been full of confidence, projecting an air of someone who had everything under control.

Elder Hong was already gone; he had left Xiao Fan with the Dragon Gate doctors and departed. He was quite disappointed in this sect leader and felt he needed to report the matter to the Old Dragon King.

"Lin Ao!!! I swear I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
