School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 499: No Turning Back!


"..."

Talking too much, who knew Xia Xiaodie actually took it seriously?

Seeing this stubborn girl looking at herself with an inquisitive expression, Xu Fan touched his nose and said, "Of course not, how could I agree with such a vulgar view of love?"

At the party, everyone's attention was on Gelangqiao, but when Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie spoke, it suddenly drew everyone's attention.

Zhou Zidong gave Xu Fan a contemptuous glance. He found it somewhat amusing.

This guy, he hasn't left yet?

Could it be that he actually enjoys the feeling of being tormented by himself?

Ridiculous.

Zhou Zidong didn't pay much attention to it, as securing these ten pieces of jewelry design drawings was of utmost importance. The family had entrusted him with this task, and he would not allow any mistakes!

He said directly to Gelangqiao, "Qiao, you see, let's not delay any longer, let's sign the contract now."

"Alright, Zhou, you really are a very humorous man."

Zhou Zidong's answer didn't match Gelangqiao's expectations, but since he was not very familiar with Huaxia, he couldn't find a better partner than the Zhou Family at the moment.

Looking at Zhou Zidong, he agreed straightforwardly.

"Qiao! A pleasure doing business with you!"

The deal was about to be sealed! Zhou Zidong didn't want any surprises, he signaled his subordinates with a look, and immediately had them bring the contract over to get it signed quickly!

After his subordinate explained the contract to Gelangqiao and he saw him sign, Zhou Zidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These drawings were now securely in the possession of the Zhou Family!

With the contract laid out, no one could snatch it away!

Smirking proudly, Zhou Zidong's gaze shifted coldly towards Xu Fan.

"Hehe, Xu Fan, everyone just expressed their opinions, why don't you, share your thoughts with us?"

"This..."

The crowd watched, somewhat stunned. Now that the business deal was set in stone, to inquire further, wasn't it a blatant provocation?

Even if he made a brilliant speech, the jewelry design drawings would no longer belong to him...

The sympathy of the onlookers was directed towards Xu Fan.

This guy, it seems, was targeted by Zhou Zidong.

Even Gelangqiao, who had just put down his pen, followed the gaze of the crowd towards Xu Fan.

Although he didn't understand Zhou Zidong's approach, he was very interested in the only person who hadn't spoken yet.

He felt he might hear something intriguing.

Exposed under everyone's gaze, Xu Fan smiled lightly and said, "I have no opinion."

"What?"

Hearing Xu Fan's reply, Zhou Zidong laughed aloud.

This guy, wasn't he a bit too embarrassing?

Even a random expression of thoughts that could gain some people's agreement was better than being silent, wasn't it?

"Hehe, Xu Fan, weren't you very good at pretending just now? How is it? You don't have the confidence to talk to me anymore?"

Zhou Zidong's eyes held immense pride, like a Heavenly God looking down on mortals from the clouds above.

"Love, after all, is not something that can be explained in just a few words."

At that moment, Xu Fan's slightly weathered voice suddenly rose among the crowd.

Everyone couldn't help but be startled, all turning their heads curiously to look at him.

Even Gelangqiao, now slightly intrigued, raised an eyebrow.

Xu Fan exhaled and said with a bitter smile, "Without having experienced the sweet bliss of first love, the togetherness of being deeply in love, or the soul-crushing despair of a breakup, how can one easily claim to understand what love is? At the least, I'm not qualified to say I have fully grasped love."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, everyone fell silent.

Exactly, how could the nature of love be easily articulated?

Maybe you've experienced first love, maybe you've been through passionate love, maybe you've suffered through a breakup, but there will always be something about love that you don't understand.

Under everyone's attentive gaze, Xu Fan exhaled, glanced at Xia Xiaodie beside him, and said, "If I must articulate it, all I can speak of is my own love."

"This!"

Gelangqiao felt a surge of inspiration! The old memories buried by time seemed to be gushing forth with inspiration!

But it was lacking just a bit! Deep inside, he couldn't help but scream for more!

Go on, speak! Continue!

Xu Fan, remaining composed, slowly turned his head and gazed at Xia Xiaodie beside him, as radiant as a blooming rose.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his smile recounting the bits and pieces that had happened between them, and his eyes carried a laughter that hid a deep love that others could not fathom.

This was probably a genuine display of emotion. Before she knew it, Xia Xiaodie, looking at the man before her, felt her face flush with color.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Love is actually very simple. When I look at you and you just happen to be looking at me, we have both fallen for each other."

"Remember, even if the entire world turns against you, I will stand behind you, betraying the whole world."

This was not a declaration Xu Fan made to the audience.

It was only a vow to Xia Xiaodie.

He didn't care what kind of engagement Xia Xiaodie was burdened with, nor what stood in their way; Xu Fan only knew that no matter what, he would always stand firmly behind her!

"Good!"

At that moment, a powerful shout of approval burst forth, and Gelangqiao was seen clapping excitedly.

Clearly, Xu Fan was very much to Gelangqiao's taste.

In that moment, among the crowd, those who felt a stirring in their hearts couldn't help but begin clapping uncontrollably.

Surrounded by this clapping, Zhou Zidong's expression unavoidably soured.

What the hell was he doing...

He had inadvertently enabled this guy to reach a high point.

But fortunately...

He felt relieved that, with foresight, he had already signed the contract.

The black words on white paper lay there, and even if Gelangqiao wanted to back out, he would have to see if the contract allowed it!

Thinking this, Zhou Zidong clapped his hands with feigned generosity and walked over to Xu Fan.

"Tsk tsk, who would have thought, a mere driver, and yet you have such a way with words, not bad, quite impressive indeed."

Xia Xiaodie, once moved by the moment, frowned as Zhou Zidong intervened with her beautiful, willow-like eyebrows suddenly knitting together.

"Zhou Zidong, what do you want?"

"What do I want? I don't want anything."

Zhou Zidong laughed coldly, his eyes filled with pity, a condescending pity for the underdog.

After a delay, he said somberly, "I just feel sorry for you two. Nicely said, indeed, but it's a pity that in the end, I am the one who wins. You will end up with nothing."

Now that the contract had been secured by him, it didn't matter if she was the second daughter of the Xia Family or this sorry driver, not even the Heavenly God himself could change this outcome!
