Chapter 535: More than 250 Love Stories (Second Update)

Zhu Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly bit down hard on Deng Kun’s hand.

As pain forced Deng Kun to let go, Zhu Xiangxiang seized the chance to scream at the top of her lungs, “Help... Someone wants to kill me.”

Deng Kun’s fingers closed in on her throat, and he yelled angrily, “So you want to die?”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s back pressed against a pillar. Her face turned from red to pale blue, and she struggled to breathe.

In these suffocatingly desperate moments, she saw a man moving towards her, his figure illuminated against the darkness.

Like a god descended into her world.

From then on, she lost sight of any other colors in her eyes.

Ye Shuang flew in with a kick, sending Deng Kun flying. He stepped on Deng Kun and said, “Old man, daring to be imprudent in front of Master Xiao, wanting to die, aren’t you?”

Deng Kun, ignoring the intense pain in his chest, quickly begs for mercy.

Unfortunate must have come to find him, for he had encountered Master Xiao.

Zhu Xiangxiang slid down against the pillar to the ground, staring blankly at the man who was slowly approaching.

Even though her throat felt like it was burning, about to explode.

“Get lost,” Ye Shuang kicked him hard again.

Deng Kun immediately got up and ran away clumsily.

Ye Shuang walked over to Zhu Xiangxiang, who was fixated on Ran Tengxiao. He blocked her view of Ran Tengxiao and asked, “Are you okay?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head: “I... I’m fine.”

But when she opened her mouth to speak, her face turned even paler, her voice husky and pained.

When she saw Ran Tengxiao passing by and leaving without glancing at her, Zhu Xiangxiang mustered up the courage to step in front of him, successfully stopping him.

Zhu Xiangxiang dares not lift her head; she must look pretty disheveled now.

Looking at the pair of black boots in her line of sight, her heart races. She says softly, “Thank you for saving me.”

A cold, aloof voice sounds from above her, “It’s her who saved you.”

With that, the man in the black boots walks away.

Zhu Xiangxiang instinctively turns. The tall figure of the man is bathed in a soft glow from the dimly lit lamplight.

“Master Xiao,” she calls out with all her strength.

She chases after him and said, “Master Xiao, we met before in the parking lot of Yunmeng Villa. Do you remember?”

Ye Shuang frowned, looking coldly at Zhu Xiangxiang’s back.

Another woman stuck on Master Xiao, naive and vain, she had seen many such women before.

Their fate would not be any different.

Ran Tengxiao finally stopped and glanced at her.

The man’s eyes are rather apathetic, just like the winter in Jiangzhou, frost-biting cold.

Zhu Xiangxiang feels intimidated, but she still straightens up, revealing a gentle smile just right.

“Mr. Zhu Wentao’s daughter?”

“Do you know Xi Yu?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head.

“He’s a favorite of Master Xiao, and I...” Zhu Shaodan patted his chest proudly.

“I, Zhu Shaodan, am Xi Yu’s apprentice, no doubt about it.”

“Really?” Zhu Xiangxiang found this difficult to believe, “Who is this Xi Yu?”

She was now desperate to know everything about Ran Tengxiao.

“He is a very influential person...”

The two walked further away, their voices growing fainter until they were completely swallowed by the vast, cold underground parking lot.

“Master Xiao, here’s the financial report for this month.” Xie Zi respectfully handed it over.

Ran Tengxiao flipped through it, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“How can it be hard when it’s for Master Xiao?” Xie Zi lowered his head respectfully.

Ran Tengxiao paused for a moment while flipping through the report, “What’s the date today?”

“November 11th. Why, Master Xiao?”

Today was Singles’ Day for men and Women’s Shopping Spree Day.

Ninety percent of Qinglong Association’s members were single. It was indeed challenging.

“It’s been a week...” Ran Tengxiao muttered.

Ming Jing had days off recently and didn’t plan to stay in the hotel reading. She planned to go out for a walk.

Although she was familiar with the bustling city of Jingzhou, much has changed over the years.

‘Times changes and people change too.’ The phrase was indeed accurate.

Liu Muxue was still sleeping at this time. She had difficulty waking up, and Ming Jing didn’t want to look after such a princess.

As for Song Yinzhang, he had left for The Songs’ house early in the morning to visit his grandparents, uncles, aunts.

Ming Jing decided to venture out alone.

Just as she walked out of the hotel, a van stopped in front of her. The door opened, revealing Mao Nana’s warm smile.

“Ming Jing, I know you’re free today. Why not keep me company?”

Without a further word, Mao Nana pulled Ming Jing onto the van.

“Nana, where are we going?”

Mao Nana applied some lipstick while looking into the compact mirror. Her wide mouth truly was a startling sight.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

When Ming Jing saw the sign “Tianshi Plastic Surgery Studio”, she couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Mao Nana was indeed efficient. It was only last night that they added each other on WeChat, and Mao Nana is already making a visit.

A slender figure stood behind a vine as tall as a man, quietly looking towards the entrance.

“Mr. Xue? Dr. Liu invites you inside.” A respectful voice came from the nurse behind him.

The man pursed his lips, took one last look, and then turned and strode away.
