After returning to the council hall, Zhou Zhanlong and He Si were still chatting with their two brothers.

It seemed they were getting along quite well.

Sitting there with nothing to do, Xu Fan greeted the group and left first.

Now that everything was ready, it wouldn't be long before he would head to Shanghai.

Once back home, Xu Fan called Mu Qingyan.

Since his trip to Miaojiang, the two hadn't seen each other, and a while ago, Qingyan had called, mentioning she missed him.

Missing each other was a bitter feeling, and Xu Fan wanted to spend the remaining time well with her.

"Xu Fan?"

"Qingyan, I want to see you."

Upon connecting the call and hearing Mu Qingyan's voice, Xu Fan went straight to the point.

It was somewhat shameful, as their moments together were often interrupted by various excuses.

Today, Xu Fan thought, even if the sky fell, he wouldn't care.

"Hmm, I... I want to see you too."

"Why don't you come over for dinner tonight?"

Apparently understanding the slightly suggestive undertone hidden in his words, Mu Qingyan's voice carried a hint of shyness.

"Hehe, Qingyan is always so good to me."

Hearing Xu Fan compliment her, Mu Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, then quickly added, "Xu Fan, I'm not as good as you think."

"I'm quite bad."

"Hmm?"

Xu Fan blinked, confused by her statement.

"Qingyan, what do you mean by that?"

"Hmph, I don't care, today, even if the sky falls, I won't let you leave."

"This... "

He hadn't expected Qingyan to be so bold as to speak her mind, and Xu Fan was quite startled by it.

"Humph humph, scared, are you? Xu Fan, once you enter tonight, I'll lock the door and won't let you leave, definitely not letting you go."

Feeling Xu Fan's fright over the phone, Mu Qingyan giggled with a girlish glee.

Playing along, Xu Fan responded fearfully, "Qingyan, you're so naughty."

"No, I must resist."

"Tonight, I'm going to fight with my life to keep you awake all night!"

Initially wanting to continue teasing Xu Fan, Mu Qingyan's pretty face turned red to her neck after his declaration.

I'm way out of her league in being bad...

"Alright, enough chatting with you, naughty one. I'm going to start preparing now, hurry up and come over, and don't you dare be late, got it?"

After hanging up with Mu Qingyan, Xu Fan didn't delay. It was already almost dusk, and he got ready to head over.

After taking a shower at home, Xu Fan changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Lan seems to be out at the supermarket, so Xu Fan sneaked into the supermarket and grabbed a few boxes of "little umbrellas" to prevent any casualties tonight.

"Remember, dude, pretend I was never here!"

Laying the money on the counter, Xu Fan seriously instructed the clerk.

He didn't want Lan to hear about this; otherwise, he'd be in trouble.

Having finished his business, Xu Fan, keeping his achievements hidden, got in his car.

"Hmm?"

As he sat in the passenger seat, just as he inserted the key, he glanced at the rearview mirror and frowned.

A middle-aged man dressed in Miaojiang clothes stood below his building, seemingly noticing Xu Fan's gaze, quickly turned his head away.

"Hehe, that was quick."

Xu Fan chuckled and slowly retracted the golden glow from his right pupil.

He had just activated the Perspective Eye, and could see that the man's clothes concealed numerous Poisonous Insect Gus.

Such an obvious marker made it easy to guess the man's background.

As Xu Fan tapped the steering wheel with one hand, a cold smirk crossed his mind, thinking that the Heavenly Witch Sect really had some strength to have acted so quickly.

He wondered how the man's abilities compared to Madame Hong's.

Not wanting to arouse more suspicion from the man, Xu Fan pondered for a moment and started the engine.

He drove straight to the residential area where Mu Qingyan lived.

Quickly speeding along the road, it didn't take long for Xu Fan to reach Mu Qingyan's neighborhood.

As night had already fallen and stars twinkled above, Xu Fan hopped out of the car and nonchalantly walked towards Mu Qingyan's house.

Knock, knock, knock.

Quickly, Xu Fan arrived at Qingyan's doorstep.

Shortly after he knocked, the door swung open to reveal Mu Qingyan.

She had clearly dressed up carefully before his arrival.

Noticing Xu Fan's fervent gaze, a blush crept over Mu Qingyan's beautifully made-up face as she playfully reproached, "Xu Fan, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at my woman."

"Alright, you haven't eaten yet."

"Hehe, okay, let's eat first, we can continue later."

It was apparent that for their night alone, Mu Qingyan had sent Duoduo away.

As Xu Fan took Mu Qingyan's hand and walked towards the living room, he said, "Qingyan, make two cups of tea for us now."

"What... what?"

Hearing Xu Fan's request, Mu Qingyan couldn't help but frown.

Why would he drink tea? And why two cups of tea...

Looking at her puzzled expression, Xu Fan chuckled, "Qingyan, if we're staying up all night, we need something to keep us awake, right?"

"And the other cup of tea?"
