Supreme Cultivation Master

However, Su Qingxue gave Xu Zun no chance, stating flatly, "Mr. Xu, I’m sorry, but I cannot accept your feelings."

With that, she turned to leave.

Xu Zun hadn’t expected to fail so spectacularly. Worse, Su Qingxue had given him no face in front of so many people. He had no way to retreat gracefully.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Ms. Su, I know you devote all your energy to the company, but I believe my sincerity will one day move you!"

Instantly, the company’s female employees were smitten. They fantasized about a tall, rich, and handsome man like Xu Zun saying such things to them. They would agree on the spot; they would even die for him. But this was just a pipe dream.

"Damn it! Who dares to hit on my woman? Did you ask for Laozi’s permission?" Ye Fan strode over angrily. He approached Xu Zun, snatched the roses from his hand, and said, "Ms. Su has been sensitive to roses lately. The scent is too strong, so let’s not overwhelm her."

With that, he promptly tossed the bouquet into the trash can.

Xu Zun was furious, while Su Qingxue had to suppress a laugh. It was a relief that Ye Fan showed up to defuse the situation. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known how to reject him, since the Xu Family carries a lot of weight in the company. It would be bad if internal conflicts arose, especially when the Su family is currently dealing with external threats!

"Who are you?" Xu Zun demanded of Ye Fan.

If he’s a company employee, I’ll fire him on the spot.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Fan wasn’t an employee, so he wouldn’t get the chance.

"I am Ms. Su’s personal bodyguard!" Ye Fan declared. Then he leaned close to Xu Zun’s ear and whispered, "The kind that’s personal in bed, too."

"You!" Xu Zun was about to explode, but wanting to maintain his cultured facade, he simply said to Ye Fan, "We’ll see about that!"

"As if I’m scared of you!" Ye Fan sneered. I could just laugh in his face.

"Alright, we’re short on time. Let’s go," Su Qingxue said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan eagerly scurried over, acting very intimate with Su Qingxue. He wanted to disgust Xu Zun, and to his satisfaction, it worked.

Xu Zun was seething. He vowed to make Ye Fan pay. The humiliation today was immense; his carefully arranged romantic atmosphere was now as worthless as dog shit.

Ye Fan was driving with Su Qingxue in the passenger seat. After a moment, she said, "Thanks for what you did just now."

"What’s there to thank? We’re all family, no need to be so formal!" Ye Fan replied instantly.

Although she found his words awkward, she felt a warmth spread through her. Perhaps this is a goddess’s intuition.

Just then, Ye Fan’s phone rang. As he was about to answer it, Su Qingxue said, "Don’t answer while driving, it’s not safe. I’ll get it."

"Alright then!" Ye Fan agreed, but his calm vanished when he saw Fang Nan’s name on the screen. He quickly stammered, "No, no, no, I’ll get it! I’ll be careful!"

"Hand it over," Su Qingxue’s face turned icy in an instant. Ye Fan felt helpless. He feared neither heaven nor earth, but he was terrified of Su Qingxue. Defeated, he handed her the phone.

Su Qingxue answered the call, and Fang Nan’s voice immediately erupted from the other end, "You deadbeat, you didn’t even call to comfort me.

"Did you think you could just take advantage of me and walk away? Now that you’ve hooked up with that little ’Fairy,’ you want to dump me? Let me tell you, no way!"

Ye Fan slammed on the brakes. He was beyond frustrated. My lady, you can’t say things like that! Those words could get a man killed!

Su Qingxue’s expression grew even colder. She shot Ye Fan a glare that made him feel as if he had been plunged into an ice cave. So cold!

Su Qingxue finally spoke into the phone. "Have you said enough?"

On the other end, Fang Nan was stunned, not having expected Su Qingxue to answer. She demanded, "Give him the phone!"

"Sorry, he’s busy. We’re at a hotel right now. If you want to watch a livestream, I can arrange that for you."

SNAP!

She hung up the phone. But a moment later, Su Qingxue’s face suddenly flushed crimson. I was so angry... what did I just say? It’s so embarrassing to think about now.

She glanced over at Ye Fan, only to find him laughing shamelessly. In an instant, she pinched his waist, hard.

Ye Fan winced, in pure agony. What did I do to deserve this? This is your war, so why are you taking it out on Laozi? His heart was breaking, but he couldn’t stop the smile from twitching at his lips.

"You’re still laughing!"

"Ah! I won’t, I won’t!"

For the next few moments, the only sound in the car was Ye Fan’s pathetic wail. The car was shaking so much that if it weren’t in motion, any onlooker would assume a couple was getting intimate inside.

They arrived at a restaurant. Since tonight was meant to be just for the two of them, Su Qingxue wanted a romantic date. To prevent any more disturbances, she authoritatively confiscated Ye Fan’s phone. He complained bitterly, but was relieved she had turned it off.

Otherwise, if another woman called right now, I’d really be in for it. I have to admit, dealing with such a domineering female CEO could really shave a few years off a man’s life.

However, just as they reached the restaurant entrance, Fang Nan blocked their path. When rivals meet, sparks are bound to fly, and the war between the two women ignited at once.

What followed would undoubtedly be terrifying. I’m just an innocent bystander! Please, keep your war away from me! Ye Fan pleaded internally.

Fang Nan spoke first, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Weren’t you two getting a room? What are you doing at a restaurant?"

"That’s our private business. I don’t believe you have any right to know," Su Qingxue replied coldly.

The animosity between them was too deep. As the flames of battle raged, the most miserable person was, of course, Ye Fan, who was always caught in the middle. Trying to intervene now would probably get him killed in a very ugly way.

"I think there are some things we should clear up face-to-face," Fang Nan said.

"Say what you want. I’m listening," Su Qingxue replied, affecting an air of indifference.

Fang Nan declared, "Give him to me. I’ll agree to any condition you name."

"On what grounds? You haven’t changed at all. You still love to seize what belongs to others! You were like that back then, and you’re the same now!" Su Qingxue retorted coldly.

This made Ye Fan unhappy. What do they mean, ’thing’? I’m not a ’thing’... Ugh, no, that came out wrong. I’m a person, a person, okay? The most handsome man alive!

"Right back at you!" Fang Nan shot back. "If you’ve got a problem with it, let’s settle this one-on-one!"

"All you have is brute force! Besides that, you’re good for nothing!" Su Qingxue jabbed.

"Hmph! At least I’m straightforward. Not like someone who pretends to be innocent but is actually just a scheming vixen!" Fang Nan countered.

Standing to the side, Ye Fan couldn’t help but be impressed. He now had a new appreciation for the term "venomous tongue."

"What’s the point of all this talk? Let’s go," Su Qingxue said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan desperately wanted to feign fainting, but the situation wouldn’t allow it. He was completely caught in the crossfire.

"No," Fang Nan insisted. "We have to settle this between us, once and for all!"

"Fine," Su Qingxue said immediately. "Tell me how you want to settle this!"

The two stunning beauties were staging a real-life palace drama, and Ye Fan was suffering immensely. Being handsome is my fault, I guess, but fighting over me is all on you.
