Xu Yixue broke out in a cold sweat. If Xu Fan became Lu Chennong’s child’s godfather, her seniority was definitely going to be suppressed by him.

“Oh right, Xue, I haven’t asked what brings you here?” Zhang Lijuan asked Xu Yixue with a bit of curiosity.

“Ah? I… I knew Xu Fan from before, just visiting.” Xu Yixue replied a bit awkwardly.

She certainly didn’t want to reveal that Xu Fan was actually her child’s father. Otherwise, with Xu Fan being both Tongtong’s biological father and Lu Chennong’s child’s godfather, calling Lu Chennong uncle would be extremely awkward.

However, with Xu Fan helping Lu Chennong such a huge favor, earning his trust like that, wouldn’t Xu Fan have a perfect backer in Zhonghai City?

Moreover, Xu Fan also possessed an uncanny skill in medicine refining. Even though he was no longer part of the Xu Family, the colossal entity from Yan Country, he seemed to be doing not poorly at all. In fact, he seemed more mysterious and powerful than the wastrel he used to be.

As these thoughts ran through Xu Yixue’s mind, she secretly thought to herself, I don’t care what kind of backer you have, what skills you possess, you wronged me and my daughter, and I just won’t forgive you.

“Xue, you and Xu Fan are both outstanding among the younger generation, you should interact with each other more in the future,” Zhang Lijuan said with a smile to Xu Yixue.

Seeing how outstanding Xu Fan was, she had the idea of matchmaking the two, as she had watched Xue grow up and knew she had very high standards.

But with Xu Fan being so impressive, if he could be with Xue, wouldn’t it be like adding family to family, making things even easier in the future?

Xu Yixue blushed at Zhang Lijuan’s words.

She and Xu Fan had already been husband and wife for a night, and they even had an adorable baby daughter, Tongtong, but now, she couldn’t explain the details to them.

Xu Yixue had gone to America back then precisely to give birth to Tongtong in secret.

In the whole of Zhonghai, even among her acquaintances, nobody knew she had a daughter, Tongtong.

“Auntie Zhang, don’t worry about us for nothing,” Xu Fan said with a smile, speaking to Zhang Lijuan.

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Xu Yixue glared fiercely at him. She had noticed the smug look on Xu Fan’s face just a moment ago, like he was playing coy after getting an advantage.

After chatting in the living room for a while longer, Xu Fan saw Lu Chennong getting a bit distracted and immediately understood that he was eager to go home and test the elixir’s effects.

He chuckled at Lu Chennong, saying he was a bit tired from the physical and mental strain of refining medicine, and suggested having Lu Chennong and his wife over for tea another day.

Lu Chennong was also planning to leave, so he thanked Xu Fan once again and then left with Zhang Lijuan.

Xu Yixue and Xu Fan stood up to see off Lu Chennong and his wife, then returned to the living room.

In front of Lu Chennong and his wife, Xu Yixue had been behaving like a docile young lady. But now that the two had left, she suddenly revealed the fierce tiger within, staring Xu Fan down fiercely.

“How did you get to know Uncle Lu and his wife, and where did you learn your medicine refining technique from?”

Instead of answering, Xu Fan turned the question back on Xu Yixue, “Since you’ve known them for a while, do you know what Lu Chennong does for a living? He managed to find medicinal ingredients worth millions in a single day, seems like his reach is quite extraordinary, huh?”

“You don’t know Uncle Lu’s identity? Then why did you help him refine the elixir?” Xu Yixue was somewhat surprised, initially thinking that Uncle Lu had hired Xu Fan for his refining skills. It turns out Xu Fan barely knew Uncle Lu at all.

“I met Lu Chennong by chance when I was with Tongtong; he gifted Tongtong a toy. I’m not a person who likes to owe others, so I helped cure his sickness as a way of repaying him,” Xu Fan explained.

“A children’s toy in exchange for a celestial Detoxification Pill that can cure hundreds of poisons? You really are generous,” Xu Yixue said incredulously. This wastrel really hadn’t changed his prodigal ways.

“As long as they can make Tongtong happy, they’re my friends. Helping a friend out is no big deal,” Xu Fan said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yixue sensed the importance of Tongtong in his heart.

His love for Tongtong didn’t seem feigned at all.

“What exactly does Lu Chennong do?” Xu Fan asked again.

“He is the leading business figure in Zhonghai City, the largest real estate investor in Zhonghai, as well as one of the most influential people there. His power extends across the business and political spheres. Moreover, Uncle Lu’s assets are hardly less than the Xu Family’s were in the past. Simply put, Lu Chennong is a hegemonic figure in Zhonghai, it’s just that his fame isn’t as great as your four big families,” Xu Yixue briefly explained what she knew to Xu Fan.

After hearing this, Xu Fan was neither shocked nor amazed, he merely responded indifferently, “Oh.”

“What? You’re not surprised at all?”

“I just think he’s a decent guy,” said Xu Fan lightly.

“By the way, that Detoxification Pill you made, can it really cure Uncle Lu’s illness?” Xu Yixue asked with some curiosity.

“You’ll know once I become his godfather,” Xu Fan replied with a poker face, expressionless.

To this day, you still don’t believe in the effects of my elixir, seriously underestimating the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor’s drug making skills.

“Hmph! We’ll see about that,” Xu Yixue huffed, her view of Xu Fan had somewhat improved after seeing him make the elixir. She felt he was no longer the decadent man he used to be. However, after hearing what he said, she once again found him arrogant and conceited, as if he looked down upon her.

Wherever Xu Yixue went with her beauty, she was always revered, with no man ever acting indifferent toward her like Xu Fan was doing right now. This stirred some anger in her heart.

“I’m taking my daughter and leaving right now,” Xu Yixue declared firmly, and with that, she stormed up the stairs, her high heels clacking loudly.

“No way!” In a flash, Xu Fan had appeared on the second floor.

Xu Yixue had just reached the top of the stairs when she was blocked by Xu Fan at the exit.

“You… get out of the way,” Xu Yixue said, exasperated by Xu Fan’s swift movements, practically like a human elevator.

“Everything is negotiable as long as you don’t take Tongtong away,” Xu Fan addressed Xu Yixue.

“Why should I? I’m Tongtong’s mother, and I’m going to take my daughter away,” Xu Yixue stated, suddenly gaining strength when mentioning Tongtong. She charged upstairs, utterly ignoring Xu Fan standing in her way.

“Damn,” Xu Fan only saw Xu Yixue rushing toward him with a waft of fragrance. If he dodged, she would certainly lose her balance and fall to the ground.

A soft body suddenly crashed into him.

Xu Yixue had thought that charging at Xu Fan would surely make him move aside, but instead, she found herself plunging into his embrace, causing two blushes to bloom on her pale face.

“Pervert, let go of me.” Xu Yixue’s pretty face was so flushed it seemed to be dripping blood. It had been six years since she had been this close to a man, and her full chest heaved with upheaval.

“Sorry, I was afraid you’d fall,” Xu Fan explained weakly.

“Stop talking!” Xu Yixue struggled to free herself from his embrace.
