Chapter 84: Miss, You've Fallen for Him!
“Damn it…”
Ma San was about to start cursing, but when he remembered Ye Fan's identity, he swallowed the words before they could leave his mouth.
Ma San stared greedily at the painting in Ren Xueying's hands. He wanted to ask her for it, but he didn't have the courage.
Neither the Ye Family nor the Ren Family was someone Ma San could afford to offend.
More importantly, the big brother backing him had already fallen, and Wu Laolang had indeed been taken down by Ye Fan. Although Ma San had suffered an enormous loss, he didn't dare complain.
“Boss, are we really just going to let this go? That's thirty million yuan!”
Several of his bodyguards couldn't understand.
“If we let them leave, we won't have another chance to make a move!”
“Bullshit! Do you think we'd have a chance here?” Ma San glanced around. “Do you even know who they are? One is the Ye Family's only young master, and the other is the Ren Family's young lady. Go ahead and try laying a finger on either of them!”
Although only Ye Fan and Ren Xueying had openly appeared, Ma San knew that there were probably countless experts secretly protecting them.
Ma San could only watch helplessly as thirty million yuan slipped away right before his eyes.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Ren Xueying looked at the painting in her hands, still unable to believe what had happened.
“Handsome, you really gave this to me just like that? This painting is worth thirty million yuan! Why?”
Ren Xueying also felt that Ye Fan's face looked strangely familiar and gave her a sense of warmth and familiarity. However, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Yet Ye Fan had casually given her a painting worth thirty million yuan.
She felt extremely uncomfortable accepting such a precious gift.
“That's right. I'm giving it to you…”
“Because… you're a good person. And good people deserve good things in return!”
After saying that, Ye Fan turned around and prepared to leave.
He had been away for too long. If Su Yixue couldn't find him, she would probably start worrying again.
“A good person deserves good things in return?”
Ren Xueying thoughtfully repeated his words.
Seeing that Ye Fan was about to leave, she hurriedly called out, “Handsome! Wait…”
As she spoke, Ren Xueying reached beneath her clothes and pulled off a jade pendant she wore close to her body. She was about to hand it to Ye Fan.
A young woman wearing jeans stood beside her and hurriedly said, “Miss, you… you should think this through! The Old Master gave you that jade pendant as part of your dowry!”
Ren Xueying hesitated for a moment, but she still extended the jade pendant toward Ye Fan.
“I don't like owing people anything. This is a jade pendant from my family. It should be something valuable too. I'll give it to you…”
She paused, her face gradually turning red.
“If you have time next month, you're welcome to come to my family's residence for my grandfather's birthday banquet.”
After saying that, Ren Xueying's face became so flushed that even the back of her neck turned red.
Ye Fan accepted the jade pendant she handed him.
The jade was still warm, carrying Ren Xueying's body heat. There was also a faint fragrance lingering on it, giving off an alluring scent.
Looking at Ren Xueying's shy appearance, Ye Fan couldn't help but recall that night six years ago.
It had been the middle of winter. He had nearly been killed, and it was this very girl who had used her own body to keep him warm and save his life.
Ye Fan had always remembered that kindness.
Back then, he already had Xuan Yufei.
But now, Xuan Yufei had broken off their engagement, while his seven sisters-in-law had all announced that they would marry him.
He suddenly had seven wives.
If he added one more, it didn't seem like it would make much difference.
“Alright! I'll definitely come!”
Ye Fan took a deep look at Ren Xueying.
He didn't want to disappoint a girl who had once saved his life.
Just as Ye Fan was about to look away, however, he suddenly noticed several black lines lingering around Ren Xueying's forehead, with faint traces of blood-red mixed among them.
Hmm?
A bloodshed disaster?
Someone had clearly used some kind of technique against Ren Xueying. She was currently surrounded by the signs of an impending disaster involving bloodshed—and it was an extremely serious one at that!
Ye Fan frowned.
If he hadn't encountered her, he could have ignored it.
But now that fate had brought her before him, he couldn't simply stand by and do nothing.
Ye Fan glanced at Ren Xueying's wrist.
She was wearing a bracelet.
“Miss, let me take a look at your bracelet.”
As he spoke, Ye Fan reached out and took hold of her wrist, removing the emerald-green bracelet.
A surge of qi flowed through his hand as he quickly engraved several mysterious patterns onto the bracelet.
“For the next half month, make sure you keep wearing this bracelet. And whatever you do, don't let it come into contact with water. It will protect you and keep you safe.”
This was a Peace Protection Talisman.
It was one of the talismans Ye Fan had comprehended from the Dragon Pattern Ring. He had already tested it many times, and the Peace Protection Talisman had an extremely powerful protective effect.
Before Yu Linglong left this time, Ye Fan had secretly engraved several talismans onto items she wore close to her body.
Yu Linglong simply didn't know about it.
Hopefully, she would never have to use those talismans.
“Oh, alright!”
Although Ren Xueying didn't understand what Ye Fan had done, the way he looked at her made it obvious that he genuinely cared about her.
“Bye-bye!”
Ye Fan took the jade pendant and quickly headed toward Wanbao Pavilion, disappearing from Ren Xueying's sight in the blink of an eye.
Ren Xueying watched his departing figure, her brows slightly furrowed.
As she left with her maid, she muttered,
“Why do I feel like that handsome guy was so familiar? I keep feeling like I've seen him somewhere before…”
“Giggle, Miss! You've fallen in love!”
The maid laughed.
“Look at you. You even gave him the jade pendant you wear close to your body. You know, that jade pendant is something you wear every single day…”
“Are you asking for a beating?”
Ren Xueying's face instantly turned crimson. She coquettishly scolded her maid, but suddenly, she felt something strange.
The place on her wrist where she had just touched Ye Fan's wrist seemed to have gained an additional stream of warmth.
The warm current slowly flowed through her body.
A warm current?
The moment she noticed it, Ren Xueying's pupils suddenly contracted.
She immediately thought of the young man she had encountered six years ago.
That night, when she had held him in her arms, she had also felt countless warm currents flowing into her body.
Those warm currents had caused her martial force to increase at an astonishing speed!
“Ah? It's him!”
“It's really him… the boy from six years ago!”
After figuring everything out, Ren Xueying couldn't contain her excitement.
“Fate really is amazing!”
“Xiaoqing, investigate that handsome guy immediately. Find out who he is. I want to know everything about him!”
“Yes!”
The maid beside her knew about what had happened to her young mistress six years ago.
Over all these years, Ren Xueying had never allowed herself to get close to any other man. She had always been searching for that young man from that night.
Now that she had finally found the person she had been waiting for, the maid was genuinely happy for her.
“Congratulations, Miss! The person you fell for back then is the same person you like now!”
Ren Xueying's face was filled with excitement, though there was also a hint of shyness.
“Hmph! That bad guy… He must have recognized me already!”
“No wonder he gave me a thirty-million-yuan painting for no reason…”
“Ugh… so annoying…”
At the same time, Ren Xueying silently prayed in her heart:
You have to come next month, when my grandfather celebrates his birthday.
If you come, half of my trouble will be solved!
