CHAPTER 558: A HAPPY QIN FAN

—

After returning to the Wang residence.

Xi Qingmeng was immediately surrounded by Xia Xinyan, Yun Ling’er, Zhou Yingying, Liu Xinyao, Chen Ranni, as well as Liu Yunshuang and Lin Xiaowei—her “fellow students and teachers.”

“Wow, I never expected this!”

“You even managed to snatch our school’s Student Council President!”

Yun Ling’er was the first to gasp dramatically.

Xia Xinyan quickly followed up:

“Hee hee, but I already figured it out!”

“The first time Brother Haoran asked Senior Qingmeng out, I knew this day would come!”

Being gawked at, Xi Qingmeng, clinging close to Wang Haoran, lowered her head bashfully.

Seeing her like this, Yun Ling’er got even more excited.

She turned to Xia Xinyan and Liu Xinyao beside her, laughing:

“Xiao Yan, Yaoyao, from now on, we won’t be able to look at the Student Council President giving serious speeches the same way again!”

“Why’s that?” Liu Xinyao, playing along, asked knowingly.

“Because!”

“Knowing Brother Haoran’s ‘gentle and considerate’ nature, he’ll definitely, right before Senior Qingmeng goes up to speak,”

“Carefully brew tea for her, to soothe her throat, preventing it from getting dry from talking too long!”

“Just like he does with Sister Su Yan!”

“Tsk tsk, imagine then, in front of a huge crowd of teachers and students, Senior Qingmeng seriously speaking into the microphone... but actually...”

“The very air she breathes out smells like tea...”

As soon as Yun Ling’er said this, all the girls immediately looked at Wang Haoran—

“It’s true!”

“This scoundrel loves being ‘considerate’ like that!”

On Wang Haoran’s other side, Zhao Yu, who hadn’t been around long, also nodded in agreement.

Xi Qingmeng, the only one yet to fully experience Wang Haoran’s wickedness, blushed even harder upon hearing such “shameless words.” Her ears turned crimson.

However.

Just when everyone expected her to stay silent out of shyness.

They saw her gently tugging Wang Haoran’s hand and speaking softly—

“I-If you want to... just tell me...”

“I don’t mind...”

After bravely saying this, for some reason, she glanced towards Zhao Yu on the other side.

A competitive glint, aimed solely at her, flashed in her eyes—

Zhao Yu, completely missing the nuance, thought Xi Qingmeng was seeking encouragement from her newly acknowledged “Older Sister Yu”!

So she immediately gave a thumbs-up gesture—”Go for it!”

“Eee!” This exchange made the other girls grin even more suggestively.

—

After spending a little more time by Wang Haoran’s side.

Xi Qingmeng was pulled away by the enthusiastic Xia Xinyan and the others to meet Ning Xueluo, Lin Qingzhi, Zhu Nan, and the rest, making introductions one by one.

Watching Xi Qingmeng obediently calling everyone “Older Sister.”

Feeling Zhao Yu snuggling closer into his embrace, Wang Haoran suddenly remembered something—

“Xiao Yu, why did you suddenly decide to move in?”

And so urgently, bringing all her luggage at once.

Zhao Yu, eyes closed, answered娇声地:

“Because I want to be with you all the time!”

That was the real reason.

But speaking of moving, she couldn’t help but complain to her beloved:

“And Haoran, you won’t believe how crazy my mom’s idea was!”

“She actually wanted some guy to move into our house!”

“That guy is scruffy, looks like a total loser, and is super arrogant! But my mom just loves him!”

“Just because he’s her friend’s son!”

“It’s ridiculous!”

“Indeed.” Wang Haoran nodded in agreement.

Then, he casually asked out of curiosity, “What’s that guy’s name?”

“Qin Fan. Even the name sounds totally uninspired!”

(Because earlier, to accommodate Little Sister Xi Qingmeng, Zhao Yu had driven the whole way back, occasionally glancing in the rearview mirror at the couple getting intimate in the back seat. So now, she needed Wang Haoran to make it up to her—)

“Haoran, kiss me!”

“......”

But Wang Haoran didn’t respond immediately.

Instead, he stroked her head, frowning slightly as he asked:

“What did you say his name was again? Qin what?”

“Fan! As in ordinary (fanren)!”

“Which ‘Fan’?”

“Qin Fan! Qin like the Terracotta Army (Qin Shihuang)!”

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Yu sat up疑惑地, looking face-to-face with Wang Haoran, their noses almost touching.

Wang Haoran leaned in and kissed her, “It’s nothing...”

It was something! Something big!

Names formatted like “X Fan” weren’t usually given to ordinary people!

Plus, this guy looked poor and useless, and was despised by Zhao Yu, the “female villain”!

That made it even less likely he was ordinary!

`This Qin Fan must be the protagonist corresponding to the female villain Zhao Yu...`

`Maybe even the female lead Xi Qingmeng too...`

Wang Haoran had suspected for a long time.

The situations with Zhao Yu and Xi Qingmeng were very similar; they seemingly had no connection with him.

Yet suddenly, they both acted very familiar towards him!

`Looks like, if I find this Qin Fan...`

`I might get the answers...`

Thinking this, after kissing Zhao Yu, Wang Haoran naturally asked:

“Xiao Yu, tell me more about this Qin Fan!”

“Okay!” Zhao Yu, satisfied and her eyes glistening, immediately started talking:

“This Qin Fan, he’s the son of my mom’s best friend, Aunt Su Jing.”

“His family lives out of town, and he came here to attend S University.”

“He’s graduating this year, so his mom asked my mom to look after him!”

“......”

While the two were discussing Qin Fan.

Xi Qingmeng, having finished greeting all the older sisters, returned.

She saw Zhao Yu lounging alone in Wang Haoran’s embrace.

Instinctively, she immediately went over and snuggled into Wang Haoran’s arms as well.

Then she started nudging Zhao Yu’s body outwards.

Only when the area of contact between herself and Wang Haoran was just slightly larger than Zhao Yu’s.

Did she stop, content, and the two of them remained nestled in Wang Haoran’s arms together.

“Haoran, are you talking about Qin Fan?”

Hearing Wang Haoran and Zhao Yu talking, she naturally had to chime in.

She couldn’t let Zhao Yu do all the talking!

And coincidentally, she knew this Qin Fan too—

“I know that person!”

“He’s a member of our university’s Student Council!”

Wang Haoran asked curiously, “You know him too?”

“Yeah!”

“And next week, our Student Council is hosting a graduation party to bid farewell to the graduating students!”

“The invitation notice in the group chat, I was the one who sent it!”

—

Just as Xi Qingmeng said.

She had sent out the party invitation notice, and Qin Fan had received it.

Currently, he was leaving Qingfeng Temple, basking in the flattery of Ma Baozong and Daoist Qingfeng, heading back to S City.

This trip had truly killed two birds with one stone.

Not only did he resolve Qingmeng’s engagement troubles, but he also gained the respect of Daoist Qingfeng and Ma Baozong.

Daoist Qingfeng had even gifted him the “Tianhu No. 1” villa in S City!

Tianhu No. 1, the one and only!

A symbol of the highest status, something the wealthiest people in S City dreamed of but couldn’t obtain!

But now, it belonged to Qin Fan!

On the way to “Tianhu No. 1.”

Qin Fan, having just received Xi Qingmeng’s notice, couldn’t help but smile:

`She even specifically @mentioned me... asking me to reply ‘1’ if I’ll attend...`

`Looks like Qingmeng really cares about me!`

`Qingmeng, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there!`
