A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 562 Don’t act rashly

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "The word 'girlfriend' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

"Then...then...then what do you think I am to you?" Cheng Xue asked hesitantly.

“You’re either my woman or my friend,” Chao Bufan said, then paused for a moment before continuing, “Cheng Xue, although I admire your personality, I still hope you can consider this carefully. Either you become my woman, or we can be friends.”

“I want to be your woman, but… but…” Cheng Xue stammered, “I don’t want to get married so soon.”

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Marriage is nothing more than a formality, a mere formality. If you really want to be my woman, you can get married whenever you want."

"Really?" Cheng Xue asked uncertainly.

“Of course,” Chao Bufan said with a smile.

Cheng Xue pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You said it yourself, don't force me. Once I've decided on what to do about marriage, then we'll get married."

Chao Bufan nodded and said "Mm." Cheng Xue picked up her wine glass again, held it level, and chuckled, "Come on, darling, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Their glasses clinked, and they each took a small sip. Although Chao Bufan already had more than ten women, this was truly the first time he'd ever had a candlelight dinner with the woman he loved. With his beautiful companion, sipping red wine, listening to soft music, and enjoying the warm, romantic atmosphere, it was a truly unique experience. He wondered if he should tell her that he already had quite a few women. But that wasn't his style; if he told her, wouldn't things change?

He usually operates on the principle of "get on the bus first, buy the ticket later" or "get on the bus first, then tell you the next destination." After much deliberation, he chose "white lie." Therefore, he was unaware of Cheng Xue's thoughts. In fact, Cheng Xue knew he had a girlfriend and even knew who she was. However, since that "forced kiss encounter" under the overpass, she had unknowingly fallen for him. And that time in the square, his domineering kiss, especially the moment he saved her, made her realize that she had fallen in love with him, deeply in love with him. So, she told herself that she must snatch him away from other women.

Now, she has succeeded, she has truly succeeded. He has become her prey. However, this prey is no ordinary prey, one that no one can snatch. Instead, the one who dares to snatch him becomes his prey. Therefore, she is unaware that she has become his prey instead.

After the cozy and romantic candlelight dinner ended, Chao Bufan asked her, "Cheng Xue, are you coming with me or going home? If you're going home, I'll take you."

"I...I..." Cheng Xue stammered. Having never spent the night away from home before, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to be with you."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Then let's go!"

Tian Yue was quite sensible, following behind Chao Bufan and Cheng Xue obediently, keeping a distance of three or four meters. Although this guy wasn't ignorant of "seven emotions and six desires," he wasn't interested in matters of love between men and women, just like his calm and undisturbed heart at this moment.

"Honey, where are we going now?"

She still held his hand, but she was afraid to go with him, because she knew what would happen next.

Chao Bufan glanced at her sideways and smiled, "Didn't you say you were coming with me? Of course, you're coming home with me!"

"Darling, I...I..." Her voice trembled slightly because she was very nervous and scared.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I...I'm scared." She finally mustered up her courage and spoke her mind.

He smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a monster, what's there to be afraid of?"

"But... I'm just scared!" she whispered. "I've never spent the night away from home before."

He said to her, "If you're afraid to come with me, then I'll take you home!"

"Hmm~" She shook her head and said, "No, I want to be with you."

"Cheng Xue," Chao Bufan said with a helpless smile, "You said you want to be with me again, but you're also afraid. What should we do?"

Cheng Xue hesitated for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's okay, you're my boyfriend now, I'm not afraid."

"That settles it then," Chao Bufan said with a smile.

As they arrived at the Tang Group's plaza and headed towards the parking lot, a dark shadow flashed past them with lightning speed. Chao Bufan immediately frowned, and at the same time, Tian Yue also frowned, though her face was mostly filled with disdain.

Immediately, Chao Bufan used a trick, and Cheng Xue chuckled, then closed her eyes and fell asleep. Chao Bufan took Cheng Xue into his inner space and then left.

"Little brother, who is that person?" Tianyue asked calmly.

“Su Haijun,” Chao Bufan replied, “is the one I told you about before, the one possessed by an evil spirit. Come on, follow him.”

With that, the two of them immediately disappeared from the spot.

At the top of a mountain, Su Haijun stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

A moment later, Chao Bufan and Tian Yue appeared in front of him.

Su Haijun and Chao Bufan sized each other up, and both were simultaneously taken aback—

Chao Bufan exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! This kid, in just over two months, has actually reached the same level of cultivation as me! That's terrifying!"

Su Haijun exclaimed in shock, "No way! It's only been a short time, and he's already reached the peak of the Harmony Realm. This... Damn it, I underestimated him."

"Kid, don't do anything reckless, watch out for the person next to him." An evil voice echoed in Su Haijun's mind.

The evil words struck Su Haijun like a thunderbolt, and he was startled. He quickly turned his gaze to Tian Yue and asked suspiciously, "Senior, he's just an ordinary person, why are you so nervous?"

"If you don't want to die, don't do anything reckless, otherwise, one sneeze from him could take our lives."

"Huh?" Su Haijun was startled.

"Su Haijun, not bad! Your cultivation has improved so quickly in such a short time," Chao Bufan said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Haijun's brows furrowed slightly, then he smiled and said, "Likewise, you are extraordinary. I really didn't expect your cultivation to improve so quickly."

"What?" Chao Bufan asked with a smile, "Here to challenge me to another fight?"

Su Haijun gave a wry smile. He had come confidently to teach Chao Bufan a lesson, but he never expected Chao Bufan to exceed his expectations. If they really fought, neither would gain the upper hand. Besides, although he couldn't see through the cultivation level of the person beside Chao Bufan (Tian Yue), he knew that the Evil Senior wouldn't lie to him, and the person who made the Evil Senior so nervous must be someone of great importance. In just a few seconds, several thoughts flashed through his mind. He shook his head and smiled, saying, "Chao Bufan, don't be so smug. What goes around comes around. Although I can't do anything to you now, I believe that one day, I will make you pay double for everything you've done to me."
