"Hmm? You're still here?"

Leaving the back garden and returning to where Li Qinghe had been waiting, Xu Fan was surprised to find she was still there.

"What's wrong?"

Glancing at Li Qinghe, Xu Fan felt something was off about her complexion and couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Despite his question, Li Qinghe didn't respond, only giving him a cold stare.

That look... Xu Fan awkwardly touched his nose, suspecting she had followed him earlier and overheard the conversation between him and his grandfather.

"Did you hear everything just now?"

"Actually, what I meant was..."

Thinking of explaining a bit to prevent Li Qinghe from overthinking, Xu Fan was interrupted before he could finish, as Li Qinghe suddenly asked, "Xu Fan, do you really dislike me that much?"

His grandfather had already made his stance clear, yet she still refused!

At this moment, Li Qinghe felt like dying. Did he really detest her that much?

Rather die than marry her, was she really that bad...

"It's not about liking or not liking..."

This was difficult to explain, and seeing Li Qinghe so unreconciled, Xu Fan showed a helpless expression.

"Alright, behave, stop it. I still have some things to take care of these days. Once I'm done, I'll find you."

Eager to get ready for a trip to Floating Mountain Island, Xu Fan didn't want any more delays. He said goodbye to Li Qinghe and prepared to leave.

To his surprise, Li Qinghe didn't attempt to block him. However, just as he opened the car door and sat down, the passenger side door opened as well.

Li Qinghe sat in the passenger seat, arms crossed and pouting angrily.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

Staring blankly at Li Qinghe next to him, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same moment.

He couldn't just kick her out, could he?

After all, she was a big star.

"What are you spacing out for? Drive."

Scrunching her nose and glaring at Xu Fan, Li Qinghe then stubbornly turned her face away.

"Big star, aren't you just throwing a childish tantrum..."

Figuring that she would follow him through thick and thin if he didn't stop her, Xu Fan bitterly smiled and started to persuade her.

He knew well that the trip to Floating Mountain Island was not for leisure.

"Hmph, and aren't you just a bully to kids?"

Li Qinghe glanced at Xu Fan resentfully and huffed, "I don't care. From today on, I'm going to stick by you! Annoy you to death!"

"..."

Why must they hurt each other like this?

As a big star, being rejected like this was indeed a blow to her pride, and Xu Fan felt awkward to speak too harshly at that moment.

He looked at Li Qinghe and said, "Behave, I really have urgent matters these days and can't accompany you."

"Humph, Xu Fan, have you forgotten something?"

"What... what is it?"

Xu Fan was taken aback and glanced at Li Qinghe. She smirked and said, "You owe me a favor for agreeing to endorse you."

"I've already figured out how you can repay me."

Xu Fan indeed hadn't forgotten the matter, but he hadn't expected her to bring it up at this time.

"How can I repay you?"

At this moment, observing Li Qinghe, Xu Fan asked a question, yet somehow, Li Qinghe's sly look made him feel that it was surely nothing good.

Li Qinghe smiled and said, "For the next three days, I want to be your girlfriend."

"No matter where we go, you have to take me with you!"

"..."

The way Li Qinghe wanted him to repay her really caught Xu Fan off guard.

Doesn't she realize that with her celebrity status, saying something like this is not quite appropriate?

The journey to Floating Mountain Island was fraught with danger; bringing Li Qinghe along was not a good choice.

Seeing her now, looking as determined as a queen, Xu Fan said, "This... big star, this time it's really dangerous. If you go, you might lose your life."

You should know, this is not a honeymoon trip.

Bringing her simply meant significantly increasing the difficulty of the game.

"Hmph, I don't care, I just want to stick with you!"

"Someone would rather die than marry me, then I'd rather die than let go of him!"

"Hmph, let it be dangerous. Worst comes to worst, we'll be desperate lovebirds!"

"If you try to send me away, I'll kill myself!"

Li Qinghe had resorted to sheer stubbornness now, and Xu Fan, seeing this, thought to himself, how shameless can this person be?

Given Li Qinghe's nature, she might really resort to suicide.

Faced with her commotion, Xu Fan helplessly shook his head, having no choice but to compromise.

"Alright then, I agree. You should go back and pack your bags now. Once I'm ready, I'll come and pick you up."

"Hmph, I'm not falling for that!"

Li Qinghe directly rolled her eyes at Xu Fan and said, "You definitely plan to ditch me. As for luggage, I'll just buy what I need when it's time."

"Hmph, heartbreaker. You just agreed to be someone's boyfriend, and now you want to abandon her."

"..."

It must be said, women's vigilance in this regard is no weaker than Sherlock Holmes; Xu Fan gave a wry smile, shook his head, and drove off.

Having returned home, Xu Fan took the Qingyue Sword and the luggage he had prepared before, drove to pick up Li Qinghe, and headed for the harbor.

Upon reaching the harbor, he chose not to get out of the car with Li Qinghe.

With her face well-known to everyone, Xu Fan guessed that as soon as they stepped out, they would be drowned in a sea of people.

"I've left everything in your care, now you must believe I won't leave you behind, right?"

"Tell me what you need to buy, and I'll go prepare it for you."

On Floating Mountain Island, it wasn't guaranteed one could buy many things; this woman had brought nothing, just followed him, and he had to help her prepare.

"Heehee, my darling, you are so good to me."

Li Qinghe made a list for herself and clung tightly to the box of the Qingyue Sword.

It was hard to tell whether this woman was adorable or cunning. Looking at the love in her eyes, sweeter than honey, Xu Fan pinched her chin and captured her cherry lips in a kiss.

"Then consider this a reward."

"Annoying..."

Now that she knew they were going to Floating Mountain Island, even if he left her behind, she would probably catch up.

Xu Fan, holding the list she gave him, then got out of the car.

It seemed like this woman wanted to bring the whole of Shanghai's shopping malls to Floating Mountain Island; looking at her extensive list, Xu Fan almost ran his legs off.

It looked like it would be dark by the time he finished shopping. Xu Fan then eliminated some unnecessary items and only bought what she would need for the next three days.

"Let's go, the boat is about to leave..."

Now, carrying big and small packages back to the parked car, Xu Fan gave Li Qinghe a wide-brimmed hat and oversized sunglasses to wear, then led her towards the dock…
