629: Chapter 625: Regrets of the Heart 629: Chapter 625: Regrets of the Heart Just when Shangguan Wuqiu had completely despaired, she suddenly felt the grip on her arms loosen.
As she struggled, the n on her left and right silently fell to the ground.
“Ah—” Her mouth was finally free, and although the two n who had abducted her inexplicably collapsed, she couldn’t help but scream in fear.
“Stop shouting, you’re safe now.
If you keep shouting, people will think I’m trying to harm you,” a deep and magnetic male voice ca from behind her.
Although the voice wasn’t loud, it reached her ears clearly, even as she was screaming at the top of her lungs.
Hearing this voice, Shangguan Wuqiu felt an inexplicable sense of safety.
She stopped screaming, turned around, and saw a tall and sturdy figure.
“Is it you?” she couldn’t help but exclaim.
Ye Fan nodded slightly, stepped forward two paces, and Shangguan Wuqiu instinctively stepped back twice.
Just as she was about to get scared, she heard two “crack” sounds of bones breaking.
Looking closely, she saw that the towering man had broken one leg of each of the unconscious n on the ground.
After disabling the legs of the two villains, Ye Fan said to Shangguan Wuqiu, “Let’s go.”
Having said that, without waiting for Shangguan Wuqiu’s reaction, he turned and walked toward the street outside.
Shangguan Wuqiu was montarily spellbound, fear creeping up on her again.
She hurriedly followed him.
Without concern for the impropriety of n and won touching, she grabbed Ye Fan’s hand, holding on tightly as if afraid those two villains would suddenly wake up and drag her back to the depths of the alley.
Ye Fan, feeling her soft and smooth little hand clutching his tightly, probably understood her fear, so he didn’t refuse but held her hand back and continued walking without looking back.
Having her hand taken by a strong one, Shangguan Wuqiu’s heart settled down quite a bit, and she followed closely behind.
She couldn’t help but look up at Ye Fan’s profile, feeling him to be even larger, like a mountain, stable and full of security.
As Ye Fan led Shangguan Wuqiu outside, he couldn’t help but feel a bit impressed by her luck.
He hadn’t actually seen Shangguan Wuqiu being abducted into the alley; he had just passed her and, thinking of how she resembled Cui Wenwen, or rather what Cui Wenwen might look like grown up, he didn’t think Shangguan Wuqiu had any connection with Cui Wenwen.
But after walking five or six steps, he couldn’t help looking back for another glance.
When he turned back, he couldn’t see Shangguan Wuqiu’s figure.
At that mont of surprise, his exceptional hearing caught the sound of soone struggling from the alley, and he quickly went to investigate.
That’s when he happened to rescue Shangguan Wuqiu.
Erging from the alley, they were t with the light from street lamps and neon signs, with people bustling around them and the constant flow of traffic on the road, suddenly returning to the noisy, bustling world.
Back on the street, Ye Fan let go of Shangguan Wuqiu’s hand.
She gripped his hand subconsciously, but then she quickly realized what she was doing and withdrew her hand, her pretty face blushing and heart pounding.
“Thank you, thank you so much,” she said to Ye Fan with imnse gratitude, but out of shyness, she didn’t dare to look up at him.
Ye Fan said indifferently, “You’re welco.
Girls shouldn’t walk alone on the streets at night.
You should take a cab ho.”
“Okay, okay,” Shangguan Wuqiu responded nervously, to the point that she forgot to ask for Ye Fan’s na.
As she went to hail a taxi on the road, she stretched out her jade arm but then retracted it fearfully.
What if the taxi driver turned out to be another villain?
She was jumpy.
She quickly turned her head and saw that Ye Fan had already stepped away, and she hurried after him while calling out, “Wait, please wait!”
Ye Fan stopped and turned to ask her, “What’s wrong?”
“I, I’m scared to take a taxi alone, could you…
accompany ?” Shangguan Wuqiu whispered, feeling her request was a bit excessive towards the end.
Ye Fan looked squarely at Shangguan Wuqiu, saw her pitiful appearance, and thought to see things through to the end once involved.
So he nodded and said, “Alright.
I’ll take you to the gate of your residential complex.”
“Thank you, thank you, you really are a kind person,” Shangguan Wuqiu expressed her gratitude.
Ye Fan gave a faint smile and didn’t respond.
He walked to the roadside where just then a vacant taxi was passing by, and he hailed it to a stop.
“Get in,” Ye Fan said, turning his head towards Shangguan Wuqiu.
Shangguan Wuqiu looked at Ye Fan with gratitude and got into the car.
Ye Fan sat down in the front passenger seat.
As soon as Ye Fan got into the car, the taxi started moving, and the driver asked, “Where to?”
“Tomson Riviera,” Shangguan Wuqiu said from the back seat.
“Tomson Riviera?” the taxi driver couldn’t help exclaiming, “That’s where the real tycoons of Hua Hai live.”
Ye Fan, too, was slightly surprised.
He knew of Tomson Riviera—it was rated “the number one luxury residence in China”!
However, the next mont, he ca to terms with it, considering the woman he had unintentionally saved was breathtakingly beautiful, living at Tomson Riviera was not surprising.
Despite this, Ye Fan had no inclination to make further acquaintance.
His mood was down, and even though Shangguan Wuqiu was strikingly beautiful, his heart could not be stirred in the slightest.
Throughout the journey, Shangguan Wuqiu parted her lips several tis wishing to speak to Ye Fan, to ask his na, but the seat between them and his continued silence, coupled with the presence of the taxi driver, made her too embarrassed to initiate conversation.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Tomson Riviera.
After the car stopped, the taxi driver announced the fare.
Surprised, the taxi driver took the money from Shangguan Wuqiu.
While giving change to Shangguan Wuqiu, the taxi driver couldn’t help glancing at the still silent Ye Fan and thought to himself, “This guy really lacks grace.
Even if he lives off a woman, he should be the one to pay at this ti.
How can he have the nerve to let a peerless beauty pay for the taxi?
I, a rough man, even feel embarrassed to take her money.”
Taking the change from the taxi driver, Shangguan Wuqiu finally asked Ye Fan, “Sir, may I have the honor of knowing your esteed surna?”
“No need,” Ye Fan replied lazily and indifferently.
“But…” Shangguan Wuqiu began anxiously.
“There’s nothing but,” Ye Fan interrupted her with an irrefutable tone, “Get out of the car.
I need to hurry back ho.”
Shangguan Wuqiu, feeling helpless and on the verge of tears, managed to say, “My na is Shangguan Wuqiu.”
She wanted to leave her contact information with Ye Fan, but she had neither a business card nor paper and pen at hand.
In the end, filled with a sense of helplessness, she reluctantly got out of the car with a sense of resentnt.
After Shangguan Wuqiu got out, Ye Fan said to the taxi driver, “Master, please take to the Imperial Forest Bay Villa Complex.”
The taxi driver acknowledged and turned the car around, heading towards the Imperial Forest Bay Villa Complex.
Shangguan Wuqiu watched the taxi carrying Ye Fan drive away, her heart filled with regret.
