Big Sister's Waiting for You~

Xiao Fan saw that the concert had ended, so he picked up his phone and called Xia Qiange.

"Brring, brring~"

"Hello~ Qiange~ It's your big brother, Xiao Fan. Your performance was amazing just now. You must be exhausted. How about we go out for a meal now that it's over~"

Xiao Fan thought, Even without Qin Yun to keep me company, I still have the nation's goddess, Xia Qiange. Once I'm back at the Qin Family, I'll deal with that woman who says one thing and means another.

I, Xiao Fan, had never been afraid of anyone making things difficult for me, especially women.

The corners of his mouth were already stretching almost to his ears.

"Oh~ It's you, Big Brother Xiao Fan. Sorry~ Let's go another time. My best friend just messaged me and said something happened to her. I need to go comfort her."

Who would've thought that would be the answer he got over the phone? Could that possibly satisfy the Dragon Gate's master?

"Qiange, I'll go with you. Maybe I can help. You know what I'm capable of, Big Brother Xiao Fan. There's nothing in Jianghai City I can't handle."

Xiao Fan thought that one more woman wouldn't hurt. Since she was Xia Qiange's best friend, she was bound to be pretty.

"No need, Big Brother Xiao Fan. It's just some girls' stuff~ I have to hurry over, so I'll talk to you later!"

Xia Qiange hung up as soon as she finished speaking.

"Brring, brring..."

As he listened to the dead tone, veins bulged on Xiao Fan's forehead and the hand gripping the phone. The grin stretched to his ears slowly shrank away.

Damn it! Damn it!

Ever since Lin Ao beat me up last time, nothing has gone my way. Is it really this hard for the master of Dragon Gate to pick up a woman?

Damn you, Lin Ao. Just you wait. Before long, I'll make you wish you were dead!

Lin Ao had somehow taken the blame for it all. After cursing him a few times, Xiao Fan hurried off to a nightclub to blow off some steam!

"Oh my~ My gorgeous girl, who put you in such a bad mood?"

A girl bundled up from head to toe appeared at the private room's entrance. She wore a sunhat, a mask, and a huge pair of sunglasses.

She went in, shut the door, and took off her hat, mask, and glasses. Her captivating beauty was revealed—it was Xia Qiange, who had stood Xiao Fan up.

Inside sat a refined, classically beautiful woman in a pale-moon-colored qipao~

"You're here? Come sit and eat. We can talk while we eat~"

The refined beauty was Qin Yun. She and Xia Qiange were best friends. Remembering that Xia Qiange had a performance nearby today, she'd thought it would be a good chance to ask her out and chat.

"What's wrong~ You look so gloomy."

Xia Qiange saw that Qin Yun was in low spirits, listlessly poking at the food on the table.

"It's my grandpa again, introducing me to some so-called young talent. The guy had the thickest skin, too. He thinks he's some elegant young gentleman, but his smile was greasy as hell. He had this crooked grin and a lecherous look. I nearly got stuck with him today."

Qin Yun rattled off complaints about Xiao Fan like firecrackers. Her words made it clear just how much she detested him. Once you disliked someone, even the tiniest gesture of theirs could get on your nerves.

Xiao Fan had truly taken one wrong step after another.

"Oh my~ Look how upset I've made my sweet, gentle Yun. That guy must really be a piece of work."

"I have your call to thank for getting me out of there today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get away. I nearly got stuck with someone, too. He helped me once before, but some of the things he did afterward made me uncomfortable. Today, he even came to my concert especially to ask me out to dinner. Now that I think about it, I've realized I can't stand him either."

Xia Qiange was probably talking about Xiao Fan. Who would've thought they'd both be complaining about the same person?

"Is he the guy you told me about—the one who stopped that crazy fan from attacking you? Didn't you say he was a good guy?"

Qin Yun had heard before that Xia Qiange had run into a crazed fan at a signing event and nearly been attacked. A man had stepped in and stopped the fan. Afterward, Xia Qiange had treated him to dinner a few times to thank him.

"Ugh~ At first, he seemed pretty normal. I treated him to dinner a few times, right? But then I realized he was getting more and more inappropriate. The way he looked at me changed. His gaze was really invasive, and he kept sneaking looks at my... well, there. One time, he even tried to hold my hand and scared me half to death. He left me alone for a few days, but today he came after me again."

Xia Qiange had initially thought pretty well of Xiao Fan. He was upright and treated people gently, so she'd planned to be friends with him. But somehow, after they met up a few more times, she started finding him frightening.

"Looks like there aren't many good men in this world. The guy Grandpa introduced me to today was the same. His eyes made me really uncomfortable."

Qin Yun complained about Xiao Fan, then thought of her online friend, Aaoaojiao. She hoped Aaoaojiao wasn't like that.

"Qiange~ I'm going to the restroom. I got my period today. I need to change."

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Lin Ao rubbed his nose. Why had he suddenly started sneezing?

"What's wrong, Xiao Ao~ Did you catch a chill?"

Zhao Ya looked at Lin Ao with concern.

"It's nothing, I just sneezed out of nowhere. I'm going to the restroom."

Lin Ao wanted to step outside for some fresh air and use the restroom while he was at it. During the meal, Gu Jianfeng and Zhao Ya had kept hinting that Lin Ao should hurry up and give them a grandchild, and he'd been struggling to fend them off.

They hadn't even gotten engaged or married, and yet here they were. They'd started by saying they wouldn't interfere in young people's business, then turned right around and started talking about having a baby.

"Ding—!"

"Aaoaojiao! Are you the kind of guy who can't take his eyes off a pretty girl?"

Lin Ao opened the message from I'm So Fierce, and felt a little confused. Why was she asking that all of a sudden?

"What's wrong, Fierce One? I admit that guys like pretty girls. There's nothing wrong with that~ Just like how girls like those six-pack abs and abstinent types. There's nothing wrong with either of us. Who doesn't appreciate beautiful things, right~"

"Like me, for example~ I'll admit it openly: I look at pretty girls, too. It's purely appreciation, because I already have such a cute girl like you, Fierce One."

Lin Ao didn't know how to comfort girls in real life, but with a screen between them, his thoughts raced.

"Good. At least you know what's what~ And you're honest enough to admit it~ Hmph~"

[You're forgiven~ emoticon]

"But if some guy keeps staring at you and his gaze makes you uncomfortable, then he's not appreciating you. You can go right up and hit him. If you can't beat him, call me and I'll beat him up for you. How dare anyone mess with my Fierce One!"

[Muscular guy flexing his muscles emoticon]

"Pfft~"

Qin Yun laughed through her nose.

In front of the restrooms, a man and a woman each holding a phone went into separate stalls.

Then they both walked out with their heads lowered, passing each other without a hitch.

"Aaoaojiao, I'm going to keep my friend company now. I asked her to meet me for dinner at Hongfu Restaurant~"

Lin Ao stared at the message above, stunned. What a coincidence?

Then who exactly was Fierce One?

Lin Ao pictured Fierce One in his mind.

She was probably a cute girl with little tiger teeth who went "aowu" all the time.

He'd see if he could secretly uncover her identity later.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help smiling.

"What are you so happy about, Young Master Lin~"

Gu Wanqing was just about to go out and find Lin Ao when she spotted him grinning to himself.

She lifted his chin with one finger, her expression alluring~

Lin Ao jumped. Why did he feel like he'd been caught cheating?

Look at you, so useless!

How were you supposed to keep the red flag flying at home while the colorful flags fluttered outside?

Bah! No, that wasn't right. What do you mean, "supposed to"?

Once I've finished building the fortress, let's see if you still dare to tease me, you little vixen~

Gu Wanqing glanced at his status panel, and a trace of anticipation stirred in her heart!~

Big sister's waiting for you~
