Top-tier Unruly Master

It was unknown how much time had passed when the sound of footsteps could be heard from the direction of the villa's gate.

Qin Manshu was, after all, a girl, and her cheeks flushed red at that moment. She quickly escaped from Ding Fan's embrace.

Elder Qin also came out at this time.

"Manshu, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Elder Qin walked out and was slightly startled when he saw Qin Manshu's condition.

"I... I'm feeling a bit unwell..." Qin Manshu said, then coughed awkwardly. "Grandfather, I'll go contact the police to handle the matter here."

Elder Qin didn't notice anything amiss and nodded slightly. "That would be good."

Qin Manshu's face remained red as she hastened away.

"Brother Fan, I apologize for the embarrassment..." Elder Qin sighed and then spoke to Ding Fan.

Elder Qin, despite wearing a smile, had a touch of desolation on his elderly face.

No matter what Qin Qingwu had done, he was still Elder Qin's son. To kill his own son, regardless of how utterly wicked his son was, other parents would still find it hard to stomach.

"Elder Qin, please accept my condolences," Ding Fan said to Elder Qin.

Elder Qin smiled sorrowfully and nodded. "My life has been full of sin... I abandoned my wife and child in Korea, and now I have personally shot my son..."

"Elder Qin, you did nothing wrong. Qin Qingwu was blinded by greed; he was beyond redemption," Ding Fan observed.

Ding Fan could tell that Elder Qin was feeling down, and without some comforting words, Elder Qin was likely to fall seriously ill.

After hearing what Ding Fan said, Elder Qin nodded.

Ding Fan offered a few words of comfort to Elder Qin, and about ten minutes later, several police cars arrived at the Qin Family Villa.

Following that, teams of police officers cleared up the area.

At Elder Qin's special instruction, the events at Elder Qin's Villa were not disclosed to the public; everything was kept secret.

As for the assassins killed by Ding Fan, he no longer needed to worry about them. With just a word from Elder Qin, the officers took care of the bodies without questioning Ding Fan.

Since the police were handling the situation here, Ding Fan felt it was no longer necessary for him to stay, so he turned to leave.

However, Elder Qin insisted on having Qin Manshu see Ding Fan off.

Remembering the awkwardness when they had embraced earlier, Ding Fan initially did not want Qin Manshu to accompany him, but since Elder Qin had spoken, he felt he could not refuse.

So, Qin Manshu drove Ding Fan away.

The two maintained silence throughout the journey.

The ambiguous atmosphere from their previous embrace made the situation awkward for both of them.

"Brother Fan, thank you for today..." After a long time, Qin Manshu broke the silence.

"I was merely helping out," Ding Fan said to Qin Manshu.

"Brother Fan, including today, you have saved me twice now..." Qin Manshu spoke while driving and looking at Ding Fan beside her.

Ding Fan thought for a moment and then nodded.

The last time, Qin Manshu had also driven Ding Fan home. Later, assassins from the Restoration Organization had attempted to shoot Qin Manshu. If not for Ding Fan, she probably would have died that time.

Counting this time, that made exactly two times.

"Brother Fan... I like you..." Qin Manshu suddenly said while driving.

At that moment, because of her nervousness, Qin Manshu gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes brimming with tears due to the excitement.

Ding Fan was taken aback. He had not expected Qin Manshu, a woman of such reserve, to confess her feelings.

Knowing Qin Manshu, who had received a fine education abroad and carried herself with a noble demeanor, it must have been incredibly difficult for her to express her affection so openly.

Although Ding Fan found it strange, for Qin Manshu, it was nothing new.

Long ago, Qin Manshu had already harbored deep feelings for Ding Fan, especially after the last time when he had stepped forward. If not for him, she would have been killed by those from the Restoration Organization.

From that moment, Ding Fan had found a place in her heart.

And now this time.

When Qin Manshu was helpless and in despair, it was again Ding Fan who stood up for her.

Having faced death twice, Qin Manshu had her own understanding of life and death. A person could at most live for a few decades, and in the face of accidents, maybe only thirty years.

In such a short lifespan, one must pursue what one likes! That was what Qin Manshu was thinking.

In this brief journey of life, if one encounters someone they like and continues to hesitate, then what is the point of living?

Just like a slogan says, if you like someone, you should shout it out loud!

Seeing Ding Fan's silence, Qin Manshu's lips curled into a smile at that moment. "Brother Fan, do you think I'm shameless… a girl actually taking the initiative to tell a man that she likes him."

As Qin Manshu spoke, tears slowly fell. "Today, when that leper was about to approach me, I felt my whole life was over. In that moment, I regretted that I had never revealed my feelings to you… It was a kind of regret.

Since you saved me, I thought to myself that I don't want this kind of regret anymore, even if you reject me. But I have already spoken the words hidden in my heart, I like you… Brother Fan, even if you laugh at me, even if you reject me, I still want to tell you, I like you…"

Before Qin Manshu could finish her words, Ding Fan's hand had already grasped Qin Manshu's hand.

When Qin Manshu felt the temperature of Ding Fan's palm, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What are you thinking about? Having someone like you being able to like me should be my good fortune, how could I possibly laugh at you?" Ding Fan said with a smile, looking at Qin Manshu beside him.

Qin Manshu was slightly stunned. Clearly, she had not expected Ding Fan to react this way to her.

Qin Manshu had long known about Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran. In her view, after saying these words, Ding Fan would definitely try to find a way to reject her.

But she hadn't expected that Ding Fan would respond like this.

"So, Brother Fan… do you mean… do you mean you accept me?" Qin Manshu widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Ding Fan beside her.

Ding Fan smiled and nodded slightly. "If I were to reject such a beautiful lady, wouldn't I be blind?"

"Then… so from now on, I am your girlfriend…?" Qin Manshu said, her eyes somewhat nervously looking at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan nodded.

Squeak…

Qin Manshu slammed on the brakes and stopped the car by the roadside, looking incredulously at Ding Fan.

"Am I… am I really your girlfriend now?"

"If you don't feel regretful…"

Before Ding Fan could finish speaking, Qin Manshu threw herself into Ding Fan's arms, and at the same time, her soft lips pressed directly onto Ding Fan's lips.

Qin Manshu's lips had a faint, intoxicating fragrance that was even addictive.

Qin Manshu's lips were soft and plush, and Ding Fan couldn't help but embrace her in his arms. His tongue forcefully pried open Qin Manshu's lips and very dominantly tangled with her tongue.

Qin Manshu clearly had little experience with kissing; she just clumsily responded.

The kiss lasted for a long while before the two slowly parted.

Because of their heated kiss, the awkwardness between them had lessened.

"Brother Fan, I don't regret being your girlfriend. Now I feel truly happy… I really didn't expect you to accept me…" Qin Manshu gently leaned her head on Ding Fan's shoulder.

Ding Fan gently stroked Qin Manshu's head.

The reason Ding Fan accepted Qin Manshu, of course, had its own reasons.

First, it was Qin Manshu's feelings for him; for a woman like Qin Manshu to actively express her love, she must have mustered a lot of courage.

Moreover, Qin Manshu had done many things for Ding Fan, and he also had a great fondness for Qin Manshu, so he didn't reject her.

More importantly, it was the heartbeat of that moment.

As Qin Manshu gripped the steering wheel and declared her affection for him, Ding Fan truly was moved. Ding Fan didn't want to, nor could he bear to reject Qin Manshu.

Sometimes, love really is without reason; sometimes, it's just a look that makes you fall for someone, and at other times, it's merely a moment's contact…

"Manshu, but you need to think carefully about your decision, after all, I am engaged…" Ding Fan said.

Ding Fan's fiancée was naturally Zhou Ruoran. Although Ding Fan had once written a divorce letter to Jing Yi, he had never thought of not wanting Zhou Ruoran.

Moreover, there was Ye Ningqing by Ding Fan's side.

Ye Ningqing was Ding Fan's first woman; how could he possibly not care about her?

"Brother Fan, isn't it good to just enjoy the present? As long as I am by your side now, I feel very happy…" Qin Manshu said with her beautiful eyes looking at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan looked at Ye Ningqing, at a loss for words for a moment.

At that moment, Ding Fan felt that he indeed had acted impulsively, his heart still filled with other women, yet now he had accepted Qin Manshu.

And at that moment, when Qin Manshu gripped the steering wheel and confessed her liking for him, Ding Fan truly couldn't refuse…

But, act without regret; regret not acting.

Ding Fan gently held Qin Manshu's little hand; perhaps his inability to resist was also a fate arranged by the heavens…

When fate arrives, it truly can't be stopped…
