Chapter 13: Do Not Provoke This Master
“How is it that I keep running into this guy everywhere!”
Lin Ziqing was utterly frustrated.
She had just finished work and started her car to leave the company when her father called, urging her to hurry home after work to discuss her engagement to Xiao Nan.
She had originally planned to go straight home, but that call instantly made her not want to return.
She had come alone out to this mountainous countryside simply to find some peace and quiet.
Yet, as soon as she climbed up to a cliffside and hadn’t even caught her breath, she saw the person she most wanted to avoid at the moment.
That guy she was soon to be engaged to—Xiao Nan.
“What on earth is he doing here?”
And those surrounding him looked like gangsters, no matter how she looked at it.
If he was involved with these people, he was probably mixed up in the underworld.
Lin Ziqing even saw a man with his back turned to her repeatedly kowtowing to Xiao Nan.
Her suspicions deepened: this Xiao Nan was definitely involved in shady dealings and had some kind of psychological quirk.
Who in their right mind would let others kowtow to them for no reason?
“I knew he wasn’t a good person. But my sister and dad wouldn’t believe it. They treat him so well and insist I marry him—it’s infuriating.”
“A thug like him won’t amount to anything. He’s only good at showing off in front of other losers like himself.”
...
“Get lost!”
That guy called Leopard Bro should be grateful to Lin Ziqing for showing up.
That girl had no idea why she was here alone.
Since she was watching from above, Xiao Nan had to be careful not to create too bloody a scene—it might scare the young lady.
So he just told them to scram.
“Th-thank you, senior!”
“If you ever need anything from me, Li Yunbao, just say the word.”
Li Yunbao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered his wounded men to support each other into the vehicle.
They vanished quickly from Xiao Nan’s sight.
Inside the Land Rover, a wounded man with a broken arm comforted Li Yunbao, “Bro Leopard, don’t be discouraged. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late. That guy’s tough. Next time, let’s gather all our brothers from the hall. I just don’t believe—”
“Don’t believe your mother!”
Li Yunbao abruptly cut him off with a fierce slap and said, “We should be thankful we’re alive today. Revenge? Hell no. Remember this—if you see this guy, avoid him as far as you can. He’s not someone we can mess with.”
“If we want revenge, it’s not on him. Hmph, once I’m healed, we’re going after that bastard Li Yadong.”
...
“What are you doing coming alone to a place like this? It’s dangerous.”
Xiao Nan approached Lin Ziqing.
“None of your business.”
Seeing him come up, Lin Ziqing turned and walked away immediately. “Besides, if you can come here, why can’t I? Is this your gang’s turf or something?”
“Gang’s turf?”
Xiao Nan was taken aback. “What do you mean gang’s turf?”
“Cut the act.”
Lin Ziqing snorted. “I just saw everything. You must be the boss of that group, huh? Quite the big shot.”
“People even kowtowed to you. When you get back to the gang, do they light incense for you too?”
“...” Xiao Nan was speechless.
This girl had mistaken him for some underworld thug.
If Leopard Bro were still here, he’d definitely drag him back and beat him again.
Told you not to let people kowtow to you for no reason.
“It’s not what you think. Here’s what actually happened—”
“No need to explain, and there’s no point.”
Lin Ziqing cut him off bluntly. “Even though my dad is already making arrangements for our engagement, and his health has just improved, so I probably can’t go against his wishes now...”
“That doesn’t mean I will really marry you.”
“There’s a long time between engagement and marriage, and during that time, I will make my dad change his mind.”
“So, no need to explain yourself to me. I have no interest. You’re you, and I’m me.”
Saying that, she swayed her graceful waist and strode away swiftly, leaving Xiao Nan standing there.
“Looks like I have to find a way to change this girl’s opinion of me, build some rapport!”
Watching Lin Ziqing’s retreating figure, Xiao Nan smiled wryly.
After all, someone who could neutralize the fiery poison inside him—a rare pure yin body—was hard to come by. Calling her one in a million wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Moreover, Lin Ziqing was not only a pure yin but also breathtakingly beautiful.
Her temper, however, was a bit too unruly.
But Xiao Nan wasn’t in a hurry.
The old man had said that as long as he could cure his fiery poison within three years, it would be fine.
As a natural prodigy, he refused to believe he couldn’t handle a little blonde girl in three years.
After Lin Ziqing had gone some distance, Xiao Nan started walking after her.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Ziqing showed no intention of letting him get into the car.
She simply started her gray Porsche and drove off.
Xiao Nan didn’t mind.
In the city, he rarely had the chance to practice his Lingyun Vaulting Steps.
Right now was a perfect opportunity.
“Huh?”
Just as Xiao Nan prepared to use his Lingyun Vaulting Steps to return to Emerald Mountain, he noticed something on the ground near where Lin Ziqing had parked.
He walked closer and found a folding mountain bike.
“Ah, this...”
“Did that girl leave this for me?”
Xiao Nan couldn’t help but chuckle.
He could have used his Lingyun Vaulting Steps to return, but now he had to ride a bike.
Riding the bicycle, Xiao Nan arrived at the Emerald Mountain villa complex.
From afar, he saw Lin Shuyun approaching him, wearing a long pink dress.
