In Xiao Lan's car, which is getting a free lift, it shouldn't take much ti before we get ho.
Recently, I heard Xiao Lan say that her two girls went on a trip, and several days have passed by now; Xu Fan figured they should be ho by now.
Next, I need to leave Jinling, and if both of them are at ho later, I must explain everything to them clearly.
"Hmm… I suppose I'm back, aren't I?"
When Xu Fan asked this, Xiao Lan thought for a while before giving a rather ambiguous answer.
Hearing this answer made Xu Fan frown ruefully. What did she an by 'suppose I'm back'…?
Shaking his head, Xu Fan didn't dwell on Xiao Lan's words. As he sat in the car, he pondered his next move for a while before speaking again.
"Oh, right, Xiao Lan, after I leave, I'll need you to take extra care of my friends."
Having known Xiao Lan for so long, she was always reliable. Several tis when I wasn't around, it was she who looked after the affairs of Lingyan Pavilion.
Even though Jinling is the territory of Lingyan Pavilion, one might still encounter trouble there. Xu Fan considered that after he got to Shanghai, he would ask her to help keep an eye on everyone.
"What? Do you really see as your empress? Do you expect to take care of all your concubines?"
As Xiao Lan spoke, she teased while driving.
Xu Fan felt no sha, just pursed his lips and gave her a look before replying, "Xiao Lan, such words don't quite befit the dignified stature of an empress who graces the world with her presence."
"Oh? Your Majesty, are you expressing disdain for your consort?"
"If that's the case, your consort will be angry and won't let you get into bed."
"…"
The way she said it, it was as though I had ever been to bed with her.
Watching Xiao Lan's coquettish deanor, Xu Fan couldn't help but let his gaze wander suggestively towards Xiao Lan's chest.
"I have no objections to my consort. Consort, do you think perhaps we could share a bed tonight?"
"That won't do. When His Majesty reigns supre over the world, your consort will reconsider the matter."
After bantering for a while, it finally seed that Xiao Lan couldn't tolerate Xu Fan's cheekiness anymore, and she put an end to the role-play.
Glancing at Xu Fan, she remarked, "Alright, even if you didn't ntion it, I would keep an eye on them."
"Earlier in the clubhouse, did you ntion Zhou Zhanlong and He Si for this reason too?"
It looked like Xiao Lan had figured it out, so Xu Fan didn't hide it and nodded in agreent.
Having spent so long at Zijing Middle School, I definitely reaped so benefits.
It wasn't just about experiencing school life, but also about making so brothers.
Shi Lei and Chen Dongdong might only have average capabilities for now, but just based on character, Xu Fan thought they were quite good.
If the two could be nurtured, they would surely beco influential figures in their own right one day.
Especially Shi Lei, the guy had talent; all he lacked was a leader.
Perhaps this was my own selfishness, but isn't brotherhood what Lingyan Pavilion values most?
"By the way, Xu Fan, there is sothing I would like to ask of you," Xiao Lan said with a sudden shift to a more serious expression.
Unless it was sothing significant, Xiao Lan wouldn't act like this. Understanding this, Xu Fan nodded solemnly and replied, "Xiao Lan, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will."
"When you go to Shanghai this ti, I would like you to et soone on my behalf…"
Xu Fan looked at Xiao Lan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Xiao Lan, who is it?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. We'll discuss it after you handle your upcoming matters first. The consort can't let personal affairs interfere with the emperor's state affairs, can she?"
The more she tried to play it cool, the more Xu Fan felt that sothing was off.
After mulling it over to himself, Xu Fan went straight to the point and asked.
"Lan sister, is the person you want to find related to your brother by any chance?"
At Lingyan Pavilion, there was very little ntion of the previous Pavilion Master, Xiao Tianfang, and even a certain avoidance of discussing his death.
Despite being such an important figure, no one talked about him, which is strange given that they are all people of deep feelings and loyalty.
This made Xu Fan feel very curious about the matter.
He sensed that it contained so secret not known to others, and although he had been too embarrassed to ask before, by now, Xu Fan couldn't hold back any longer.
He knew very well that Xiao Lan had always kept this to herself.
"Sort of..."
Under Xu Fan's direct gaze, Xiao Lan could no longer avoid the subject. She let out a long sigh, managing to force a smile and said,
"Indeed, it's deeply related to my deadbeat brother. Don't worry, I'll tell you when the ti cos."
The person Xiao Lan ntioned seed to be quite powerful. She didn't want to tell him now, obviously fearful that he would go looking for the person on his own and get into trouble...
"Alright, Lan sister, we'll talk about it when the ti cos."
Not wanting to pressure Lan sister, Xu Fan sighed with a wry smile and changed the subject.
They had arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, and eager to et Zhou Keren and Qin ngyue, Xu Fan quickly got out of the car.
He ran all the way up to the apartnt, took out his keys, unlocked the door, and went straight inside.
Taking stock, it had been quite a while since he last saw the two, and Xu Fan felt a real sense of longing.
Upon opening the door, he could see Zhou Keren in the living room, hugging her knees, sitting on the couch, alone, watching TV.
"Ahem..."
He wasn't sure if she was too engrossed in the TV or pretending not to see him, but upon entering, she acted as if she didn't notice him at all.
Xu Fan intentionally coughed twice then walked over to her.
"Dear Teacher Zhou Keren, a day without you feels like three autumns, I've missed you to death."
His words were lavish, but Xu Fan's hands stayed very proper.
Heaven knows if that tigress Qin ngyue is lurking sowhere and Xu Fan didn't dare to get too reckless.
"Heh, nice try, Yueyue isn't here."
Zhou Keren saw right through Xu Fan's intentions, chuckled dryly and spoke up.
"Hehehe, with such a perfect opportunity, my fair lady, won't you join in so fun?"
With Qin ngyue away, Xu Fan didn't waste a second thought, dropped his pretense, and let his wolf's tail show.
Letting out a wicked laugh, he sat down next to Zhou Keren and began to make his move.
"Pfft, stop it, hmph, I'll ignore you."
Zhou Keren struggled to keep a straight face while Xu Fan, buzzing with excitent, leaned in close — but she couldn't help herself.
Now held in Xu Fan's embrace, her face flushed with a touch of shyness, and her fists began pounding on Xu Fan's chest.
"Stop it..."
It had been a long ti since he'd left Jinling to save Xiao Die, but he had asked Lan sister to explain on his behalf. Holding Zhou Keren close, Xu Fan asked, "Be honest, did you miss ?"
"Hmph, only a puppy would miss you!"
