Supreme Cultivation Master

Su Qingxue turned to Tang Yurou and said, "We’ve been busy for so many days. Come on, let’s sit down, chat, and take a break!"

Tang Yurou didn’t know why Su Qingxue was acting so out of character. For Su Qingxue, time was always precious, yet now she was spending it on a break. Tang Yurou found it hard to believe and was genuinely surprised. After all, Su Qingxue was the CEO, so she simply did as she was told and sat down beside her.

At that moment, Su Qingxue asked indirectly, "Yurou, have you started dating someone recently?"

Tang Yurou blushed. She wasn’t sure if Ye Fan counted. They shared a bed, but their relationship didn’t seem that solid yet.

"No, not at all, CEO Su! Absolutely not!" she said shyly.

Seeing Tang Yurou’s expression, Su Qingxue was one hundred percent certain something fishy was going on between them. While Tang Yurou had some experience in life, she was no match for a woman as sharp as Su Qingxue.

For some reason, the realization made Su Qingxue feel a pang of bitterness. As a woman, even if she didn’t particularly like a man, it was never pleasant to find out he was involved with someone else. That was exactly how she felt right now.

"Yurou, I don’t oppose you falling in love," she said to Tang Yurou. "But you’re being groomed to be this company’s future CEO. I hope you find a man who can help you, not some idle loafer!"

If Ye Fan had heard that, he would definitely have been annoyed and retorted, "How am I an idle loafer? I’m a man of fine appearance, at the very least." Of course, he couldn’t hear her.

Tang Yurou’s heart skipped a beat. Does CEO Su know something? She wouldn’t have said that otherwise. She could only nod and say, "I understand, CEO Su."

"You may go," Su Qingxue said.

Tang Yurou left, feeling upset. If this relationship was truly hers, she would fight for it without a moment’s hesitation.

After Tang Yurou was gone, Su Qingxue couldn’t sit still any longer. She wanted to strangle Ye Fan, but her heart quickly returned to its usual calm. For Su Qingxue, it was only a fleeting moment of anger.

How dare she lie to me!

「At noon」

Fang Nan called Ye Fan, asking to have lunch together, but Ye Fan was caught in a difficult situation and had to put it off for a few days.

Just then, Tang Yurou happened to see Ye Fan walking near the company. She approached him and asked, "What exactly do you do for a living?" She was deeply suspicious and even wondered if Su Qingxue was involved in this somehow.

"I’m your CEO’s fiancé. Would you believe me?" Ye Fan said with a resigned look.

"No!" Tang Yurou immediately shook her head.

"Alright, I knew you wouldn’t. The truth is, I’m her personal bodyguard."

Recalling what Ye Fan had said the previous night about killing people—that everything he did was to protect the Su family—and then thinking about his skills, she was finally convinced. Ye Fan was Su Qingxue’s bodyguard.

She then asked him, "Does CEO Su like you?"

"No, that’s impossible!" Ye Fan replied instantly. It would be a cold day in hell before Su Qingxue liked him.

But thinking back to what Su Qingxue had said to her that morning, Tang Yurou felt it was impossible that Su Qingxue *didn’t* like Ye Fan. It feels like before we’ve even really begun, she’s already trying to break us up.

Tang Yurou was just that kind of competitive woman. The more Su Qingxue opposed it, the more determined she became. Perhaps it was just her rebellious nature.

"You haven’t eaten yet, have you?" she said to Ye Fan. "Let me treat you to lunch."

"Great! I’d be delighted to be treated by a beautiful woman," Ye Fan laughed.

This intimate exchange was witnessed by Su Qingxue, who had just stepped out of the company building to ask Ye Fan to lunch herself. She never expected to see Tang Yurou and Ye Fan together. A wave of displeasure washed over her. As a strong-willed businesswoman, she was fiercely competitive and hated to lose.

So there really is something fishy going on. If you were open about it, I might have let it slide. But you’re sneaking around behind my back? Just you wait, I’ll deal with both of you!

It must be said, a woman’s wrath is truly terrifying.

「After work」

Ye Fan brought Su Qingxue back to the villa. She acted as if nothing had happened at all.

"I’m in a bad mood," she said to him. "Come take a walk with me."

"Sure, I’d be happy to," Ye Fan replied with a perfectly calm demeanor.

Still putting on an act. You’re probably dying to go meet your little lover right now! Fine. We’ll see how long you can keep up this charade. I have all the time in the world; I can afford to wait!

They walked along the street, wandering for about half an hour until evening fell. Through it all, Ye Fan remained completely composed. It was Su Qingxue who was reaching her limit. She hadn’t expected him to be so nonchalant, and she knew this wasn’t normal.

They walked for another hour, and by then, Su Qingxue really couldn’t go on. She was sweating profusely.

"It’s getting late. Let’s head home," Ye Fan said, a hint of concern in his voice.

Hmph! So you finally can’t hold back anymore? Just you wait. I’m about to expose you for who you really are!

Aloud, she said calmly, "No, it’s rare that I’m in the mood for a walk like this. Let’s go a bit longer. I’m thirsty."

"I’ll go get you some water!" Ye Fan said, feeling speechless. Serving this pampered young lady required a great deal of patience. Fortunately, patience was something he had in abundance.

As he walked away, Su Qingxue muttered to herself, "If you dare to sneak off, I will never forgive you!"

They were just words spoken in anger. She didn’t even know what was causing her to feel so intensely jealous.

While she was still fuming, a Land Rover SUV suddenly pulled up in front of her. Two men jumped out and shoved her into the vehicle.

"Who are you?! Help! Somebody help me!" Su Qingxue cried out.

Ye Fan, who had just bought the water, saw what was happening and immediately broke into a run. But by then, the SUV was already speeding away. He had no choice but to give chase, sprinting after the vehicle.

Inside the SUV, Su Qingxue remained surprisingly composed. It was impossible for her not to be afraid in the face of these merciless killers, but she tried to keep her wits about her, wondering why they had kidnapped her.

The man behind the wheel spoke. "Brother Leopard, that kid is still chasing us!"

"Don’t shake him," the fierce-looking Leopard instructed. "Maintain your distance. The whole point is to let him slowly catch up."

The driver nodded, keeping the speed at a steady eighty kilometers per hour—not too fast, not too slow.

How could Ye Fan fail to notice their plan? As the King of Heaven, he could move at speeds that surpassed human limits. However, to avoid any unexpected complications, he deliberately held back. Both sides had a tacit understanding, maintaining the same distance and pace.

Ye Fan understood perfectly. They were luring him into a trap. Otherwise, they would have floored it and disappeared long ago. He hadn’t made many enemies in Jiangning, so when he thought about it, there was only one possibility: the Black Tiger Society.
