"Die!" An Qi exploded with anger, kicking the lecher in front of her who had mocked her, teaching him a lesson.
"Ouch! The spicy girl is rather rough, huh! It seems that today I have to properly serve you; otherwise, you won't know how formidable big brother is," he mocked.
After finishing that sentence, the lecher who had been hit raised his hand and fiercely struck towards An Qi's delicate face.
In that dire moment, Zhou Jiajia quickly embraced An Qi, intending to use her body to shield An Qi from the powerful slap.
As the saying goes, adversity reveals true friendship. An Qi really felt that Zhou Jiajia was like a sister to her; whenever there was danger, Zhou Jiajia would step forward to shelter her from the storm. This bond was precious, and she was very moved.
At that moment, she only hoped that Lin Yifan would arrive soon to stop the villain's fierce attack.
On the other side, Zhou Jiajia closed her eyes tightly, waiting somewhat fearfully for the lecher's slap to land.
Just when she thought she was about to scream in pain, Lin Yifan intervened.
He suddenly grabbed the lecher's hand and angrily said, "Damn it, you dare to hit my woman? Go to hell!"
With that, he twisted forcefully, breaking the lecher's arm bone on the spot.
The sound alone was hair-raising and excruciatingly painful; not to mention for the lecher himself, who immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream in front of the amusement park gate.
In an instant, more onlookers at the amusement park gate were drawn to the scene, all of them turning their gazes in that direction.
During the lecher's most painful moment, Zhou Jiajia and An Qi, the victims of harassment, felt a pang of pleasure. Lin Yifan's furious words touched their hearts.
An Qi believed that the "my woman" in his sentence referred to her, since the lecher had intended to hit her.
Zhou Jiajia, on the other hand, believed that the "my woman" in the sentence referred to herself, since it was her the lecher had tried to smack; plus, she and Lin Yifan were secret lovers, so she was certain that the "my woman" was definitely referring to her.
Both of them considered the matter from their own perspectives; however, the eventual winner was Zhou Jiajia, who had already confessed her feelings to Lin Yifan.
Because at that moment, Lin Yifan only had Zhou Jiajia in his mind, and he would not allow anyone to harm his beautiful and lovely future wife.
After breaking the arm of the lecher who had attacked, Lin Yifan then kicked him away forcefully.
The entire intervention was very brief; the lecher's two companions had not even reacted before he was kicked away.
The remaining two lechers were terrified, never expecting such a fierce person to suddenly appear.
However, since there were two of them, they thought they could take on this man; thus, they both went at Lin Yifan, punching and kicking.
But their "fancy moves" posed no threat to Lin Yifan; in an instant, he had kicked them both flying; just like the first lecher, they ended up seriously injured.
The crowd watched the scene with astonishment, finding it incredibly unbelievable.
One man easily defeating three? Could an ordinary person do that?
Looking at Lin Yifan again, they felt more respect and dared not show any disrespect towards him.
"Oh yeah! The big bad wolf is really mighty!"
At this moment, An Qi jumped up, cheering and yelling exuberantly.
She had been infuriated just moments ago, but now she could finally vent her anger.
"Scram!" Lin Yifan ordered the three lecherous men writhing in pain on the ground.
"We'll meet again if fate wills it! Just you wait!" one of the less injured lechers hurled back a threat before he and the other two fled disgracefully.
Lin Yifan had always dismissed such threats with contempt; he felt strong and feared no one.
After dealing with the three lechers, Lin Yifan turned around and asked with concern, "Are you all okay?"
"We're fine," Zhou Jiajia answered.
Meanwhile, An Qi angrily accused, "Pervert! You took advantage of Jiajia, now you want to take advantage of me too, don't you?"
"When did I take advantage of you?" Lin Yifan was perplexed.
He hadn't even touched her, and he was more than a meter away from her, not within her perceived 'touch line'—so where did this accusation come from?
"I'm just your employer, and yet you called me your woman? If that's not taking advantage, what is?" An Qi demanded angrily.
It was infuriating that he denied taking advantage of her. Maybe she could have let it go if he'd simply admitted it.
"Uh... this..." Lin Yifan was at a loss for words. His comment had been meant for Zhou Jiajia, but An Qi had misheard it as directed at her. Now, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear his name.
If he explained that his comment was meant for Zhou Jiajia, their secret relationship might be exposed to An Qi, who could blab to Zhou Jiajia's parents, potentially ruining everything. As he couldn't afford a marriage with Zhou Jiajia right now due to his less prestigious family background, her parents would undoubtedly reject him.
Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't explain the meaning of that comment to An Qi.
So, he responded as he would have to Su Qingqing, "That statement slipped out in a moment of anxiety, please don't take it seriously."
"Anxiety? Is that really so?" An Qi interrogated.
To tell the truth, she felt a slight disappointment, though she did not know why.
"Really," Lin Yifan answered earnestly.
"Alright then, seeing how sincere you are, I'll choose to believe you this time. Remember, you can't just say anything carelessly in the future," An Qi cautioned.
"Of course, I'll remember," Lin Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, finally freeing himself from the questioning.
Zhou Jiajia remained silent throughout because she understood Lin Yifan's predicament; after all, choosing a partner from a modest background meant enduring such secretive situations.
After the incident, Lin Yifan returned to queue up for tickets; this time, no one dared to approach the strikingly beautiful Zhou Jiajia and An Qi.
Fifteen minutes later, having purchased the tickets, Lin Yifan protected the two beauties as they entered.
As they walked, the stunning appearances of Zhou Jiajia and An Qi attracted numerous male gazes. Whether single or not, none could escape their allure.
The amusement park was filled to capacity, buzzing with excitement, and the attractions were nearly at full capacity.
On seeing the carousel, An Qi immediately showed interest and suggested, "Jiajia, let's go ride the carousel."
"Isn't that a bit childish? People might laugh at us," Zhou Jiajia reluctantly responded.
