Knowing that Bai Zhiqing had seen through her thoughts, Lin Yafei wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. Instead, she chuckled flirtatiously and said, "Hehe, Little Qingqing, you really understand . Since you can lend your man to Rose, how about lending him to tonight? I promise to return him untouched, not a scratch, and you can even check him afterward."
"You’re dreaming, think again! Let’s go, Qian Ru, we’re going upstairs. Don’t bother with this vixen!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhiqing grabbed Lin Qianru and headed upstairs.
Watching Bai Zhiqing leave, Lin Yafei’s gaze suddenly fell on the nearby Mandala.
"Sister Yafei, what... what do you want to do? Could you stop looking at like that? I’m scared." Mandala spoke with so trepidation as she looked at Lin Yafei, now thoroughly afraid of her. Lin Yafei was like a female wolf who preyed indiscriminately, regardless of gender.
"Manman, don’t be scared. Sister Yafei just has so questions for you."
Lin Yafei’s lips curled into a wolfish grin reminiscent of the wolf grandmother tempting Little Red Riding Hood: "I heard from Lu Tianxing that you can make poisons. Do you happen to have a drug that can make soone sleep through the night and be completely undetectable the next day? If you have it, how about giving it to ? In exchange, I’ll cover all your expenses in Beijing, and I’ll even gift you a top-tier limited edition supercar."
"Sister Yafei, what do you need such a thing for?"
"Of course, to seduce and steal away treasures!"
Lin Yafei revealed her intentions without hiding, her eyebrows dancing with excitent: "Once I’ve drugged your sister-in-law and the others, your brother will be mine. Don’t you want to have a little nephew soon?"
"Uh!"
A bead of cold sweat dripped from Mandala’s forehead. This thod was just like Lin Yafei to co up with. Though she wanted to help Lin Yafei, if Bai Zhiqing found out, she wouldn’t rest until Mandala was dead. She was still young, hadn’t fallen in love yet, and didn’t intend to die so soon.
"This... Sister Yafei, I don’t have such a thing. Oh, my sister-in-law is calling upstairs. I have to go. Goodbye."
With that, Mandala hurriedly headed upstairs, no longer daring to linger. She felt like a little lamb that could be devoured by Lin Yafei, the big gray wolf, at any mont.
Watching Mandala rush upstairs, Lin Yafei’s lips curved into a seductive smile. Sooner or later, she’d get her way.
...
The Han Family’s location wasn’t in the city center but amidst a serene forest. The Han mansion was built against the hill, with a winding road leading to the forest’s end visible from afar.
When Lu Tianxing and Rose drove up here, they could see a grand mansion from a distance, akin to an ancient royal palace with majestic presence, flanked by two imposing stone lions.
At the entrance of the Han Mansion, four n in black stood, wearing wireless earpieces, their expressions grim, unmoving, like wooden stakes.
As Lu Tianxing’s car approached, two bodyguards imdiately stepped forward, signaling Lu Tianxing and Rose to get out of the car.
"Ladies and gentlen, this is a private area. Outsiders are not allowed. Please leave." Although they were Han Family mbers, the guards were not overbearing and spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Truly, a family with deep roots like this can’t compare to the Wang Family; a high-handed family often ets the quickest demise.
"I’ve been invited here by your Third Young Master Han."
"Third Young Master? Please wait a mont."
The two bodyguards were montarily stunned, quickly spoke into their earpieces, then said to Lu Tianxing, "Please, Mr. Lu, co inside."
Saying this, the guard made a gesture of invitation. Lu Tianxing nodded and, together with Rose, walked into the Han Mansion.
Just as he entered the gate, Lu Tianxing heard an excited voice behind him: "Boss, you’re finally here. I’ve missed you!"
Before the voice faded, a figure appeared before him—it was Han Zifeng, the Third Young Master Han.
Rose briefly paused on seeing Han Zifeng, looked at Lu Tianxing with surprise. She hadn’t expected Lu Tianxing to have friends in the Han Family, let alone direct descendants. No wonder Lu Tianxing said he’d already succeeded halfway; with Third Young Master Han around, indeed, half the success was assured.
Before Lu Tianxing could speak, Han Zifeng spoke again: "Boss, this beautiful woman next to you must be sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law. I’m Han Zifeng, you can call Third Young Master Han."
"Hello, I’m Rose." Rose smiled and nodded in response, feeling quite flattered to be called ’sister-in-law’ by Han Zifeng.
"Alright, Third Young Master Han, cut the chit-chat. Wasn’t it your old master who wanted to see ? Where is he?" Lu Tianxing, looking a bit annoyed at Han Zifeng’s familiarity, shook his head.
"Boss, my family’s old master is already waiting for you. You and sister-in-law, please follow , I’ll take you there."
Saying that, Han Zifeng led the way inside.
Following behind Han Zifeng, Lu Tianxing and Rose walked further into the mansion, admiring the scenery as they went. Soon, they ca across pavilions and towers, the carvings on them seed so lifelike, as if ready to take flight at any mont.
On the ground, small bridges spanned over streams, clear waters flowed around hos, with koi swimming within. Crossing these bridges revealed a lotus pond adorned with a walkway traversing over water, centered by a water pavilion.
From the pavilion, one could overlook the entire lotus pond, lush with green leaves. As the breeze stirred, the leaves danced up and down, and being July, the blooming lotuses dotted the pond, creating a sense of tranquility, wonder, beauty, and purity.
"Boss, what do you think? Is our ho pretty?" Han Zifeng spoke to Lu Tianxing while leading the way.
"Very pretty. Soday, I’d like to have a mansion like this myself, to live as a leisurely lord." Lu Tianxing agreed, nodding, admiring the traditional decorations of the Han Family.
Passing the lotus pond, Lu Tianxing and Rose, led by Han Zifeng, arrived at a bamboo grove, the gentle breeze causing it to sway. From a high vantage point, it would appear as a green ocean flowing with the wind.
Within the bamboo grove, a traditional architecture, crafted entirely from bamboo, appeared in glimpses, harmonizing with the surrounding green. An old fence encompassed a small pond and the building, evoking a sense of solitude and peace, akin to reclusive poets dwelling on the east fence.
"Hehe, Boss, don’t mind. My grandfather just likes to stay here, saying it’s good for nurturing the soul." Han Zifeng turned his head and laughed lightly at Lu Tianxing.
