Xu Rongfei's expression remained cold, assuming Ning Fan was just trying to divert her attention and snorted coldly, wrapping her arms around herself and said dismissively, "Don't bring your tricks for fooling little girls to me; they're useless!"
Contrary to what she envisioned, instead of telling a joke or a risqué story to cheer her up, Ning Fan spread open his palm and presented it to her.
Although Xu Rongfei had decided not to pay attention to Ning Fan, her gaze was inadvertently drawn to what was in the palm of his hand.
In Ning Fan's palm lay a bright yellow-orange bullet!
Before telling Fu Ziming he was ready to play a devilish game with him, Ning Fan had already used the Blinding Method to quietly pinch the bullet that should have been placed in the revolver's cylinder.
Thus, the revolver actually contained no bullet at all. No matter how it spun, whether the luck was good or bad, it would harm no one,
which is why Ning Fan dared to shoot first boldly, then after Fu Ziming was unscathed, he fired two more shots at himself.
"Now, do you understand? I truly cherish my own life and wasn't being reckless,"
Ning Fan explained with a slight smile.
"Hmph, smart move, you slick little thing!"
Although Xu Rongfei was still somewhat angry that Ning Fan had made her worry unnecessarily for so long, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Now, could our dear Xu stop putting on such an icy poker face? I'm afraid if it goes on much longer I might catch a cold."
Ning Fan said with a smile as he sat in the passenger seat.
"Who asked you to come in? If you're scared of catching a cold, you can get out of the car,"
Xu Rongfei said these words, but her eyes were flirtatiously soft as she glanced at Ning Fan, igniting an inexplicable desire in him!
The car weaved through the streets and soon arrived at Xu Rongfei's home.
After steadying the car downstairs in the residential complex, Xu Rongfei didn't immediately get out. Instead, she leaned over the steering wheel and began to sob quietly.
Ning Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly supported her shoulders, comforting, "Rongfei, don't cry, it's all in the past now. Fu Ziming has even agreed to divorce you, what is there to be sad about?"
Xu Rongfei lifted her head, her tear-streaked face suddenly burying itself in Ning Fan's chest as she cried out, "I hate myself! I hate how stupid I was to be deceived by someone like Fu Ziming originally!"
As she listened to Ning Fan's soft comfort and laid in his arms, Xu Rongfei's lips curled into a sly smile, though her voice was still filled with immense sorrow,
as she cried out, "Ning Fan, I'm feeling really awful, can you accompany me upstairs for a bit? I'm scared to go back alone!"
Ning Fan, completely unaware of Xu Rongfei's machinations, nodded and said, "Of course. Let's get out of the car first; there are too many prying eyes around here, and with you throwing yourself into my arms , people might think we're up to something suspicious in the car, which would look really bad!"
Xu Rongfei, her tears turning into laughter, lightly punched Ning Fan's chest, then opened the car door to get out. However, as she was stepping out, she deliberately placed her foot in the gap between the car door and the ground, twisting her body and falling to the ground.
"Ning Fan, I think I've twisted my foot!"
Xu Rongfei frowned slightly, gasped in pain, and said softly.
Ning Fan looked somewhat helplessly at Xu Rongfei, who was half-sitting on the ground, and chuckled bitterly, "You're not a three-year-old, how do you manage to trip walking on a road?"
Then he went to help her up.
"I don't want to get up, I want you to carry me upstairs,"
Xu Rongfei lowered her head, her cheeks growing rosy as she whispered.
This coquettish demeanor made even the resolute Ning Fan involuntarily swallow his saliva, feeling his breathing become somewhat rapid.
"Really, there's no way to handle you."
Ning Fan gently shook his head and lifted Xu Rongfei by her waist.
Xu Rongfei's figure was very well maintained, and with Ning Fan's strength, lifting her posed no challenge at all.
As soon as Ning Fan lifted her up, Xu Rongfei immediately extended her lotus-white arms and wrapped them around Ning Fan's neck.
The intoxicating fragrance rushed into Ning Fan's nostrils, tinging his face with an involuntary blush.
Upon arriving home, as soon as Ning Fan had set Xu Rongfei on the couch, she pulled at his collar and dragged him down to lie beside her on the large, soft sofa.
"Hmm, Ning Fan, you're so heavy, get up quickly, are you trying to take advantage of me!"
Although it was clearly Xu Rongfei's instability that had caused both to tumble, as the one who ended up on top, Ning Fan obviously couldn't voice such a remark.
He stood up, smiled slightly, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I just checked, your foot seems fine, it doesn't look like the joint is injured. You better rest at home, I need to go back now."
Having said that, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Ning Fan, you're not allowed to leave!"
Xu Rongfei's pitiful voice sounded from behind him.
Ning Fan turned around to see Xu Rongfei holding a bottle of red wine, who said in a low voice, "There was too much happening today, I want to drink some wine. Ning Fan, could you join me for a bit?"
Ning Fan frowned slightly, hesitating.
Seeing Ning Fan's hesitant expression, Xu Rongfei said in a temper, "If you won't drink, once you leave, I'll finish the whole bottle by myself and then go out to dance on the streets!"
Xu Rongfei's statement left Ning Fan somewhat exasperated and amused; he spread his hands and said, "Isn't that just creating trouble for no reason?"
"What does it matter if I create a bit of trouble when I'm feeling upset?"
Xu Rongfei tilted her head to one side and spoke with a face of bitter amusement.
Just like a little girl.
With no other choice, Ning Fan sat on the edge of the sofa, took up a glass of red wine, and gently sipped it.
Just as he was about to come up with an excuse to leave first, Xu Rongfei suddenly laid her whole body across him, lying in his arms, gazing tenderly at his profile, and asked softly, "Ning Fan, do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Well... you are indeed beautiful, but I really need to go now. It's getting late, I'll miss the Number 2 bus home if I don't leave now."
Ning Fan babbled on, carefully moving away Xu Rongfei's delicate hand from his private area.
What a seductive fairy!
Ning Fan thought bitterly, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't!
The Pure Yang Blood that must not be broken before the age of thirty meant that despite his numerous thoughts, Ning Fan had to hold back.
After all, compared to his own life, fleeting pleasure seemed far less tempting.
Moreover, considering the recent squabble between Xu Rongfei and Fu Ziming, Ning Fan was not the kind of man to act casually; at most, he'd only think about it.
"I'm going now, let's keep in touch when we have time!"
