The Young Master Storms the City

"Miss Xu, I came here early because I had something to deal with..."

Ning Fan walked up to Xu Yourong, wanting to explain that he had arrived early not because he was eager to become the owner of Lake Heart Resort.

But before he could finish speaking, Xu Yourong interrupted with a smile, "No need to explain, come on, let me show you around."

Ning Fan nodded, and as the two were about to walk out of the hall, Wang Guanxi and Pan Ting ran out of the private room after them.

"Yo? Ning Fan, you trash, you really made a date with another woman?"

Looking enviously and jealously at the radiant Xu Yourong, Pan Ting suddenly felt inferior and said sarcastically, "I guess this woman is a prostitute you paid for, huh?"

"Pan Ting, can't you keep your mouth clean? Believe it or not, I'll slap you?"

Ning Fan stepped forward, instinctively shielding Xu Yourong behind him, and glared angrily.

Having just witnessed Ning Fan's strength in the private room, Pan Ting was frightened at the prospect of him getting physical and hastily retreated two steps, shutting her mouth tightly.

"Ning Fan, is this woman your ex-girlfriend? Don't be angry, some people are filthy themselves and measure others by their own standards, believing that everyone else in the world is dirty. But it doesn't matter, now that you've broken up with her and you are with me, I, your new girlfriend, am a hundred times better than her!"

Xu Yourong gave a slight smile, took a step closer to Ning Fan, and slipped her hand through his arm.

Ning Fan's arm, his back, indeed his entire body, immediately stiffened.

Truth be told, he had never been so intimately linked by a woman before.

"Miss, my name is Wang Guanxi. May I have the honor of knowing your full name, to make your acquaintance?"

Wang Guanxi, standing to the side, greedily admired Xu Yourong's beauty and said with a lecherous tone.

It's not a matter of not recognizing good merchandise, it's about comparing goods with one another.

Pan Ting's looks and figure were not too shabby either, but compared with Xu Yourong, it was like a pheasant meeting a phoenix!

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in knowing you, but I can give you a piece of advice, keep your distance from women like the one you're with."

After saying this, Xu Yourong, arm in arm with Ning Fan, turned and left the place.

After walking out of the hall, Xu Yourong turned to Ning Fan with a smile on her lips and asked, "So that woman just now is your ex-girlfriend, huh? I think breaking up with her was a good thing."

"Yeah, I failed to judge her character before," Ning Fan nodded.

"Will you fail to judge people again in the future? Are you going to misjudge me too?" Xu Yourong suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Ning Fan was taken aback, then quickly waved his hands and replied, "Miss Xu, how could that be the same thing? Pan Ting was my ex-girlfriend, and you..."

"What about me? Can't I be your current girlfriend?" Xu Yourong asked boldly, her face slightly flushed as she gazed directly at Ning Fan.

"Ah?"

Ning Fan's heart raced, and his face turned red.

Because Xu Yourong's expression at that moment was even more serious than when she offered herself in marriage at the villa on the mountaintop the day before.

In his mind, he suddenly remembered something Ling'er had said previously, "Brother, I think Miss Xu is interested in you."

Could it be... Miss Xu really had feelings for him?

Ning Fan unconsciously shook his head vigorously and said in a flurry, "That's not what I meant. I mean, Pan Ting, that kind of woman, how could she ever compare to you, Miss Xu? Besides, thank you for pretending to be my new girlfriend..."

Having said that, Ning Fan moved awkwardly to the side, pulling his arm away from Xu Yourong's grasp.

Xu Yourong gave Ning Fan a somewhat surprised look.

She hadn't expected that when she held Ning Fan's arm, he would actually take the initiative to pull away.

Could he really bear to?

"Hehe, you look quite cute when you're shy. Let's go, I'll take you around Lake Heart Island."

Xu Yourong said cheerfully, flipping her hair in high spirits as she moved forward.

...

"What are you still looking at? That prostitute has walked far away, yet you're still so engrossed?"

Back in the hall, Pan Ting pulled at Wang Guanxi impatiently.

"Cough cough..."

Wang Guanxi quickly coughed twice, snapped back to reality, and said in a covering-up manner, "I don't think she's necessarily a hooker. Think about it, how could Ning Fan, that poor trash, afford a hooker of such high caliber?"

"Then what's the deal?" Pan Ting asked, frowning.

"My guess is, with that woman being so beautiful, she's probably a mistress, a Canary kept by some big shot... and this Canary, not content with just that, has turned around and is keeping Ning Fan as a toy boy!" guessed Wang Guanxi.

"Gross! Ning Fan that trash actually becoming a toy boy, that's disgusting! Trash!" Pan Ting said derisively.

"Now that I think about it, isn't there a real estate tycoon in South City, Li Wanshan, who has a kept Canary with the surname Xu? I heard that she's quite pretty and flirtatious... Just now, I heard Ning Fan call that woman Miss Xu, so she must be the Canary kept by Li Wanshan!"

Wang Guanxi pondered for a while before slapping his thigh.

It turned out that when she and Pan Ting had chased after them just now, he had vaguely heard Ning Fan calling out "Miss Xu", but he had misheard it as "Miss Xu Yan".

"What are we waiting for, then? Let's catch them in the act! If we catch them being intimate, and then tell Li Wanshan, he'll definitely not let Ning Fan off the hook!"

The moment Pan Ting heard this, her eyes lit up with excitement.

Wang Guanxi quickly took out his phone and dialed Li Wanshan's number, "Hello? Is this President Li? This is Wang Guanxi from the Wang Family. I have something to tell you. I saw your pet canary, that Xu Yan, actually keeping a gigolo on the side..."

"What? Damn it! Xu Yan, that cheap woman, dares to keep a man behind my back? I'll kill her! Where is she? Tell me quickly!" An angry voice of a middle-aged man came from the phone, which was none other than Li Wanshan.

"At Lake Heart Resort!" Wang Guanxi said promptly.

"At Lake Heart Island? Then I can't make it over, I'm still at the South City project... Look, Wang, do me a favor. Help me take a few photos of that cheap woman and her gigolo. I'm going to kill that gigolo!" Li Wanshan said furiously.

"Got it, I'm on it!"

Wang Guanxi hung up the phone and, filled with excitement, pulled Pan Ting as they chased after the direction where Ning Fan and Xu Yourong had disappeared.

Hehe, Ning Fan, you think you're tough, huh? I'll let Li Wanshan deal with you!

Li Wanshan, a real estate tycoon, could easily summon hundreds of construction workers with just a call. Let's see if you can beat them!

A few minutes later, Wang Guanxi and Pan Ting were about to catch up to Ning Fan and Xu Yourong, but they were stopped by two security guards, "Sorry, the inside area is for VIP guests only; you cannot enter."

"What? Then why can they go in?" Wang Guanxi protested, pointing at the backs of Ning Fan and Xu Yourong.

"They naturally have the qualifications to go in," replied the security guards coldly.

"Damn it!"

Wang Guanxi reluctantly cursed, but his gut feeling told him that Xu Yourong must be Li Wanshan's canary.

With Li Wanshan's status, he definitely would be one of the high-level guests here. That canary was so bold, using Li Wanshan's VIP status to bring Ning Fan, that little gigolo, inside!

It seemed that his own status was still not enough...

However, wasn't tomorrow's wedding a good opportunity to elevate his status?

This Lake Heart Resort is the prime property of the Xu Family of River City. If he could invite the head daughter of the Xu Family to be his witness at the wedding tomorrow, wouldn't his status rise with the tide?

Although Wang Guanxi knew of Miss Xu's reputation, he had never met her before.

Little did he know that the Miss Xu he thought was the canary Xu Yan, was the very head daughter of the Xu Family that he dreamed of ingratiating himself with!

Inside the VIP area, Xu Yourong called for Pei Qinhai, the manager in charge of the daily operations at Lake Heart Resort.

"Manager Pei, from now on, Mr. Ning will be the owner of Lake Heart Resort."

Xu Yourong signed the property ownership document in front of Pei Qinhai.

"Yes, Miss Xu," Pei Qinhai replied solemnly, and then said to Ning Fan, "Mr. Ning, please give me your orders directly for anything you need in the future!"

The worldly-wise manager knew better than to ask questions that shouldn't be asked.

"Hmm."

Ning Fan nodded nonchalantly.

After all, he only planned to be the owner of Lake Heart Island for a day. After tomorrow, he would return Lake Heart Island to Xu Yourong.

"By the way, Ning Fan, I want to hold a banquet here tomorrow to celebrate my recovery. Is that okay?" Xu Yourong suddenly said to Ning Fan.

"Huh?"

Ning Fan was taken aback.

Weren't Pan Ting and Wang Guanxi going to hold their wedding here tomorrow?

Why was Xu Yourong saying that she also wanted to hold a banquet here?

"What? You, the new owner, are so quick to go back on your word and refuse to let an old friend hold a banquet?" Xu Yourong feigned a tone of grievance.

"No, no, no, how could I? If you want to hold a banquet, of course, you can," Ning Fan quickly said.

"Hehe, that's good, then. Will you attend my banquet tomorrow?" Xu Yourong's lips curled into a light smile.

"Uh... sure," Ning Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Hehe, great, then it's settled," Xu Yourong giggled again.

Her laugh left Ning Fan guessing, unable to fathom what she was really up to.
