"Oppa..."

With each word Xu Fan uttered, waves of emotions stirred in Feng Huang's heart.

"If you keep this up, I might fall in love with you."

Now, looking at Xu Fan, a smile flickered across Feng Huang's otherwise blank face.

He had never changed, always treating himself as one of his own, just like when they first met.

Perhaps that was his greatest charm. Thinking of this, Feng Huang gave a bitter smile, no wonder he couldn't bring himself to harm Xu Fan.

The man owed him a great debt of gratitude, and he had asked him to do three things on his behalf, which he had no choice but to carry out.

The first time, he had him steal something from the Xia Family's bronze box, and he fulfilled his agreement to help him.

That time, it led him to Xu Fan, who had left White Crescent.

He thought it was a coincidence, but who would have guessed that the second request would be for him to kill the weakened Xu Fan...

In the end, he couldn't go through with it. People always said Feng Huang was cold and heartless, and ultimately, he failed to live up to that reputation.

Immediately afterward, the man gave him an alternative: bring back Professor Sun and seize the new technology in his hands.

He had hoped that this time it wouldn't involve Xu Fan again, but, to his dismay, he found himself once again on the opposite side of Xu Fan.

With no trace of luck in his heart, Feng Huang guessed that the man hadn't let him kill Xu Fan because he was probably looking for someone else to do it.

Now, looking at Xu Fan, whose recovery had been delayed because of the acupuncture treatment, Feng Huang couldn't help feeling uneasy. Was he in any shape to withstand the upcoming danger?

His worry didn't last long. It seemed as if he made up his mind. Suddenly, Feng Huang broke into a smile, blooming like a tree full of peach blossoms.

"Oppa, if I fall in love with you, would you marry me?"

"That depends on your performance," Xu Fan teased, smiling back at him.

Xu Fan felt something odd about Feng Huang that moment, his laughter carrying a hint of jest.

"Alright, let's not linger here any longer, take me home first."

With injuries on his body and forced treatment from Qiu Hongyao, Xu Fan wasn't feeling great. So, he asked Feng Huang to take him home immediately.

Now that Professor Sun and his family had finally reunited, Xu Fan didn't want to delay their precious moments together. He thought about stepping in after a few days to have them sign a contract with Feng Huang.

After resting at home for two days, he felt better. Having arranged a meeting with Professor Sun, Xu Fan sent a message to Feng Huang about the time and place.

Upon receiving Feng Huang's reply, Xu Fan left the house and headed to the agreed location.

Soon, he drove to the designated café.

After parking his car, he entered the café and immediately spotted Professor Sun and his family sitting in the back upon looking around.

It was clear to see that Professor Sun had truly come to his senses. The family of three looked very affectionate.

"Mr. Xu, please have a seat," Professor Sun greeted him politely as he saw Xu Fan approaching and stood up, pausing his conversation with his wife.

"Hmm? Mr. Xu, you... didn't bring the contract with you?"

As they both sat down, Professor Sun noticed that Xu Fan had come empty-handed.

Logically, he was supposed to be there to discuss the new energy cooperation deal, but he hadn't even brought the contract. What was happening?

Realizing Professor Sun's confusion, Xu Fan gave a small laugh and explained, "Professor Sun, the one who will be collaborating with you this time is not me, but someone else, someone you've also met before."

"This..."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's explanation, Professor Sun remembered the beautiful person who had accompanied Xu Fan last time.

However, he was somewhat puzzled.

He knew very well how profitable the technology he had could be. For Xu Fan to simply give it away to someone else seemed overly generous, didn't it?

"Mr. Xu Fan, have you really thought this through?"

Thanks to Xu Fan's help, his loved one had been pulled back from the brink of death. Professor Sun was now looking at Xu Fan seriously and asked the question.

He had no other skills, merely the technology in his hand that could help Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was about to give it to someone else, and he felt it was necessary to remind him.

"Professor Sun, thank you for the reminder."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "In this world, if you lose money, you can earn it back, but if you lose a life, it's really gone."

"Don't worry, I've made up my mind."

"This..."

Hearing Xu Fan's carefree words, Professor Sun couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.

This young man truly had great courage; after all, this amount of money was over ten billion.

"Mr. Xu Fan, that is indeed very true."

But turning his head to glance at Qiu Hongyao, Professor Sun also nodded in agreement.

Feng Huang hadn't arrived yet, and Xu Fan was chatting idly with Professor Sun's family of three. Almost an hour had passed, and Feng Huang still hadn't come.

"Mr. Xu Fan, this?"

A full hour was really too long. As Professor Sun looked over, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.

"I'll try contacting her."

Unsure of what the situation was on Feng Huang's end, Xu Fan took out his phone and began to reach out to her.

Feng Huang had always been a punctual person; moreover, this contract was a big deal for her. Why hadn't she arrived by now?

Soon, he got through to Feng Huang's phone, but to Xu Fan's puzzlement, Feng Huang did not answer.

"This..."

After hanging up, he made a few more calls, but still received no response. Xu Fan shook his head in bewilderment.

What on earth was going on with her?

"Mr. Xu, she probably won't be coming."

At that moment, Qiu Hongyao, holding Sun Xiaolu, spoke up.

Seeing Xu Fan look towards her, Qiu Hongyao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm a woman, so I might understand women a little better than you do."

As a woman herself, Qiu Hongyao felt compelled to tell him that she didn't think Feng Huang would be coming.

"Your approach is certainly not wrong; it's just that she might have her own thoughts about it. After all, the help you're offering this time is too precious for anyone."

"..."

Reflecting on it, Feng Huang was indeed of such a character.

She didn't want to owe anyone too much. For her, the more she owed, the heavier the burden she carried.

But would this woman not consider her own safety at all?

If she failed her mission this time, what kind of trouble would she encounter? While Xu Fan wasn't sure, he had a rough guess that it would be serious trouble.

She'd rather face danger than owe him...

With a wry smile, Xu Fan shook his head and said to Professor Sun, "In that case, Professor Sun, let's reschedule for another day."

If Feng Huang had already left Shanghai, he would have a hard time finding her any time soon.

Right now, Xu Fan's only hope was that this woman wouldn't run into any trouble...
