"Are you going to the Ladies' Elegance Disco too?"
Upon hearing Su Nanyin mention the address where she was going for a drink, Li Qianfan paused, asking involuntarily.
Watching Su Nanyin's beautiful eyes dart around outside the car window and land on his face, she asked faintly, "What do you mean 'I'm going to the Ladies' Elegance Disco too'? Are you implying I can't go? Or is it because you happen to be going there tonight?"
Heh heh.
Li Qianfan chuckled sheepishly and replied, "Just before I got off work, I received an invitation from a friend. They asked me to drop by the Ladies' Elegance Disco tonight. Originally, I planned to take you home first and then head there. I just didn't expect you to suddenly say you were going there for a drink."
"Oh."
Su Nanyin appeared casual. "If you don't like me going to the Ladies' Elegance Disco, then I'll find another place. I wouldn't want to disturb your private date with some beauty by going there."
"What right do I have to tell you where you can or cannot go?"
Li Qianfan didn't want to get into this with a woman who was in a bad mood.
He quickly changed the subject. "Oh, right. How did you know that the person who invited me to the disco tonight is a beauty? After all, Lao Gao, Qin Zhou, and the others also like to invite me out for drinks at night."
He wasn't lying.
Ever since Gao Lingwang and the others left with nothing and congratulated the Su family on establishing their residence in Siji, they had invited Li Qianfan out for drinks several times.
Su Nanyin lowered her gaze. "When I left, I saw your chat records with the girl who rear-ended the beauty."
Li Qianfan—
"Li Qianfan."
Su Nanyin retracted her languid demeanor.
She straightened her back, and her eyes, which were fixed on Li Qianfan's, were filled with seriousness.
Li Qianfan immediately understood that Vice Manager Su was about to lecture him.
He also quickly adjusted his attitude. "I'm here. Please tell me what you need."
Su Nanyin said slowly, "Up until now, you've had Su Ziyu, Mo Hongti, Chu Yazhi, Murong Mingyuan, and the caterpillar bites. This includes the older sister type, the auntie type (Chu Yazhi), and the little sister type."
Li Qianfan thought she was going to discuss something serious with him.
So it turned out to be about this.
This made him feel a bit awkward, and he quickly chuckled sheepishly again.
"You already have too much."
Su Nanyin looked at him, and a clear look of contempt surfaced in her eyes. "Are you still not satisfied even now? Yet you're going to target new young girls. By doing this, are you being fair to Su Ziyu, and worthy of the caterpillar bites?"
Under her contemptuous gaze, Li Qianfan felt extremely uncomfortable.
He glanced back at the front and retorted coldly, "Who told you that drinking with the girl who rear-ended the beauty means I'm going to target her?"
Tsk.
Su Nanyin scoffed. "A dog of a man who gets excited at the sight of a beautiful woman. If he wasn't interested in women, would he specifically make time to drink with her at night?"
What?
Li Qianfan instantly became annoyed!
Ever since Master Qi and the others had arrived, Su Nanyin had kicked him out of the backyard, and he knew she was in a bad mood.
These days, when he was with her, he had been constantly smiling and being cautious.
With Li Qianfan's attitude, let alone Sister Wujiang, even Su Ziyu had never experienced it!
Yet Su Nanyin took it for granted.
What's more, upon suspecting that Li Qianfan was going to target the girl who rear-ended the beauty, she directly called him a dog of a man.
Li Qianfan immediately pulled the car over to the side—
He turned to look at Su Nanyin and frowned, asking, "Who are you calling a dog of a man?"
"You!"
It was just a casual "adjective," but Su Nanyin hadn't expected this brat to stop the car and question her.
Instantly, her anger flared—
She cursed repeatedly, "I'm calling you a dog of a man! What can you do to me? You're not only a dog of a man, but you're also an all-ages, low-class dog of a man! You still have the nerve to glare at me? Ptooey!"
She spat a mouthful of saliva directly onto Li Qianfan's face.
Li Qianfan's cheeks puffed out, and he was about to raise his hand to slap her.
As soon as he raised his hand, he realized he couldn't resort to violence.
He could only wipe his face as if by chance, and after spitting and saying "so smelly," he coldly sneered, "An unreasonable shrew, I can't be bothered with you."
Su Nanyin calling him a dog of a man was said casually.
Li Qianfan calling her a shrew was also said casually.
When Li Qianfan was called a dog of a man, he couldn't stand it.
When Su Nanyin was called a shrew—
Ever since she was young, no one had ever called her a shrew!
Without a second thought, she suddenly bent over, raised her hand, and slapped Li Qianfan hard: "You scoundrel, how dare you call me a shrew!?"
She thought she could hit Li Qianfan's face?
Joking—
But this was inside the car, where the space was limited, and Li Qianfan was wearing his seatbelt.
Even though he instinctively dodged as much as possible, and his back of the head hit the car window, he still couldn't avoid this slap.
Slap.
Li Qianfan, who had just been slapped, retaliated without thinking.
Slap!
Another slap echoed, stunning both of them.
Li Qianfan's slap was much more powerful than Su Nanyin's.
Almost instantly, her fair porcelain-like face turned bruised, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
They stared at each other blankly.
After an unknown period of time, Su Nanyin, whose eyes began to glisten with tears, trembled and asked, "You, you actually dared to hit me?"
"What's wrong with me hitting you?"
Li Qianfan looked at her and said coldly, "You cursed me first, you hit me first. Why is it that you can curse me and hit me, but I can't curse you and hit you?"
"Good, good. Good."
As tears slid down her cheeks, Su Nanyin actually smiled and slowly sat down. "Li Qianfan, what you said is really good. I'm actually speechless."
Although she was smiling, the sorrow of despair in her eyes was evident to anyone.
However, Li Qianfan didn't care.
Since the cat was out of the bag, he might as well clear things up while he had the chance.
"Su Nanyin, listen carefully to me," Li Qianfan said by name. "Never mind the relationship between me and Chong Chong, Yao Yao. Nor the damn Four Phoenixes Circling the Phoenix, the scandals, and our pretense of a relationship. I just want to talk about the relationship between you and me."
"Nanyin, listen. Speak," Su Nanyin said, wiping her mouth, taking out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, referring to herself as Nanyin in a calm tone.
Li Qianfan asked, "Before I went to Lingnan to break off Yao Yao's engagement, every time I saw you, I treated you like an elder and was respectful, right?"
"Yes."
This was a fact, and Su Nanyin had no reason or need to deny it.
Li Qianfan asked again, "After I went to Lingnan, didn't you enthrone me as the second in command of the Su family? And didn't you specifically create an environment for me where I'd forget to return home?"
"Yes."
Su Nanyin nodded rationally.
Li Qianfan asked again, "Why were you not mindful of propriety when you came to Siji?"
"Mindful of propriety?"
Su Nanyin was full of confusion. "When was I not mindful of propriety? Did I, like that woman who rear-ended the beauty, deliberately flirt with you?"
Li Qianfan—
He said in a muffled voice, "Take that night on New Year's Eve, for example. When I arrived at the Su family's, you were playing cards. But do you remember what you were wearing?"
A tank top.
Three-quarter shorts.
Barefoot in slippers.
Su Nanyin immediately recalled what they were wearing that night on New Year's Eve when they were making dumplings around the table.
"But we're in our own home, what's wrong with wearing that?"
Su Nanyin was still puzzled. "Besides, you suddenly pushed the door open. If I had immediately jumped up to change, would you have thought I was being pretentious?"
Li Qianfan—
He suddenly felt that his attempt to reason with Su Nanyin was completely futile!
When men try to reason with women, women have an instinct to immediately block or minimize their own mistakes while infinitely magnifying the man's mistakes.
"Sigh, I give up."
Li Qianfan sighed and said, "Since Aunt Jiao and Master Qi went to the Su family, and you found out that Ziyu can plant gu and prevent me from aging, although you were genuinely happy for me, you actually felt that you were no longer useful to me. You even felt that I had abandoned you. Is that right?"
"You abandoned me?"
Su Nanyin stubbornly denied it and sneered, "Whether it was for New Year's greetings or the establishment of our residence, our cooperation before was just putting on a show! And I never thought of turning the pretense into reality! Since we never started anything, where does abandonment come from?"
Li Qianfan didn't know what to say.
Even though he had a lot he wanted to say.
"Li Qianfan," Su Nanyin said, sticking out her tongue to lick the bloodstain from the corner of her mouth, and asked softly, "You really don't think that the night you saved me, you took me, and so you thought Su Nanyin fell in love with you, right?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'll take you home."
Li Qianfan really didn't want to say anything more to her.
Su Nanyin, who had always been intelligent and rational, was now just an unreasonable ordinary woman!
However, Su Nanyin pressed her advantage relentlessly. "Li Qianfan, remember this. Even if you truly get me, don't think about..."
Don't think about what?
Li Qianfan turned his head sharply again and roared, "Shut up! What the hell are you talking about? You were the one who kept provoking me, I never thought of touching you at all!"
Su Nanyin was startled by his roar.
Then she became furious.
She shouted in an even sharper, higher voice, "Li Qianfan! Clarify this for me! When exactly did I, Su Nanyin, keep provoking you?"
"Fine! I originally wanted to save you some face. But since you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Qianfan gritted his teeth and sneered, "Su Nanyin, tell me. Who was Ruhuahua, who sent me leg pictures?"
