With a crisp slap, Xu Fan's palm fiercely landed on Liu Cancan's cheek!

Seeing the Five Finger Mountain imprint that emerged on Liu Cancan's face, everyone around was stunned.

Strike when you must, who would have thought Xu Fan would be so decisive?

"You... you lowlife, you dare to hit me?"

Shaking her head, Liu Cancan finally came to her senses, enduring the severe pain on her face as she gnashed her teeth and glared at Xu Fan!

"I hit you, what about it?"

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and provocatively looked back at the other party.

With such an unpleasant mouth, and still mixing in the entertainment industry, it seems that this industry is indeed quite chaotic.

"What... what are you all standing there for? Beat him up for me!"

With backing and a contract signed with Huan Ya, she was used to walking sideways! Even the CEO of Huan Ya had to nod and bow to her!

And now, someone dared to hit her?

Liu Cancan's face was flushed as she looked at several young hunks beside her.

The young hunks finally reacted and quickly charged towards Xu Fan!

"Get lost!"

Before they could get close, Xu Fan let out a harsh shout! A wave of invisible Qi Force surged from within him, knocking the several men directly to their knees.

"You all..."

This completely dumbfounded Liu Cancan—weren't these guys too useless? Getting frightened to their knees?

"Useless trash."

After cursing through clenched teeth, Liu Cancan immediately seized the cell phone on the makeup table.

Seeing her demeanor, it seemed like she intended to call someone over to deal with her situation, Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Girl, don't be too arrogant; in this world, you're not the only one with backing."

"Hmph, trying to scare me? Let me tell you! You're finished!"

Having never suffered such humiliation in her life, how could Liu Cancan listen to Xu Fan's advice at this moment?

She gave Xu Fan a cold look, with no intention of backing down!

"Let's go!"

After sending out the message, Liu Cancan, leading her group, stormed out of the resting room.

"Xu Fan, you're too impulsive, this..."

At this moment, Guan Shimeng walked over with a worried face.

She knew Liu Cancan better than Xu Fan did and, seeing Xu Fan, she said, "Liu Cancan is not easy to deal with; you should quickly take Miaomiao and leave."

This was Shanghai, not Jinling. How could Xu Fan alone handle the people Liu Cancan would call over later?

"Nevermind about me for now, let's talk about you."

Xu Fan also understood Guan Shimeng's anxiety. She had been training at the company these days and wasn't aware of Xu Fan's current status in Shanghai.

Xu Fan looked at Guan Shimeng and asked, "Didn't you tell them about your background?"

After all, the Guan Family in Jinling held reputable status—had Guan Shimeng made this clear, how could she possibly have been treated this way?

"Umm... I didn't tell them..."

Just as Xu Fan had guessed, after signing with Huan Ya, Guan Shimeng kept her identity a secret, not wanting preferential treatment at Huan Ya because of her family background.

She didn't want to rely on her family's influence but wanted to advance further on this road using her own strength.

"Alright, Xu Fan, don't worry about me now, you need to leave quickly. If Liu Cancan's people arrive, it will be too late."

In the past days, Liu Cancan and her group were indeed unfriendly towards her, but under Huan Ya's protection, they hadn't done anything too outrageous.

Guan Shimeng was very clear that Xu Fan was doing this to protect her, yet she didn't want to drag Xu Fan down with her trouble.

She pushed Xu Fan, planning to make him and Miaomiao leave immediately.

"Silly girl."

Watching Guan Shimeng's anxious expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

He then took her hand and said, "Do you really expect me to stand by and watch you get bullied?"

"I could never agree to that."

"Xu Fan..."

Her small hand was tightly grasped by Xu Fan, and Guan Shimeng's face inevitably flushed with a hint of shyness.

In her mind, she recalled the words Zheng had carefully instructed her before.

She was clearly aware that in the future, people would attack her based on her association with Qianfan Guo, and Zheng had just now instructed her to reply, if asked about her relationship with Qianfan Guo, that it was nothing more than an exceedingly ordinary friendship.

Although Guan Shimeng agreed to Zheng's emphasis in words, it was extremely reluctant.

Looking into Xu Fan's eyes at this moment, Guan Shimeng firmly believed that as long as Xu Fan nodded, she could disregard everything and tell everyone that she was Xu Fan's girlfriend!

Even if the cost was her own future.

But would he agree to it?

She hesitated for a moment, not daring to think too much, and then, shyly withdrawing her hand, Guan Shimeng urged, "Alright, Xu Fan, don't delay any longer, please go."

"Okay..."

Seeing Guan Shimeng's pleading look, Xu Fan felt somewhat helpless.

Sighing, he then agreed to leave.

She didn't want to take any shortcuts to achieve her dreams. If he were to reveal his identity to her at this moment, it might destroy her original intentions.

"Miaomiao, let's go first."

"Mm."

Previously, Liu Cancan's arrival had given Miaomiao quite a scare, and Guan Shimeng's concerns made her feel even more uneasy. Seeing Xu Fan about to leave, she readily agreed.

"Xu Fan, wait,"

Just as Xu Fan and Miaomiao were about to reach the door, Guan Shimeng suddenly called out to Xu Fan.

Turning around, he saw a smile blooming like a grove of peach blossoms.

"Xu Fan, it's really nice to see you again."

"Silly girl, I'm still waiting to make you a big star and marry you someday."

After exchanging smiles with Guan Shimeng, Xu Fan left the lounge with Miaomiao.

After leaving the lounge, the two took the elevator down to the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel.

Miaomiao's expression was somewhat gloomy, and noticing this, Xu Fan, thinking she was worried about the Liu Cancan incident, reassured her, "Don't worry, that woman is just all bark and no bite."

"Big Brother Qianfan..."

Miaomiao pouted and tugged at Xu Fan's clothes.

Looking pitifully at Xu Fan, she asked, "Will there ever be a day when Big Brother Qianfan doesn't want Miaomiao anymore?"

"Pfft."

After all that fuss, it turned out that the girl was jealous...

Xu Fan was both amused and exasperated at the situation and took Miaomiao into his arms.

Leaning close to her ear, he said, "How could I ever let go of such a good girl like Miaomiao?"

"Miaomiao is so kind to me, hmm, I have to treat Miaomiao to lollipops every day."

"You're terrible! So naughty!"

In an instant, a rosy blush spread across her face as Miaomiao puffed up her little fists and thumped them on Xu Fan's chest.

Then she tiptoed and leaned in close to Xu Fan's ear.

"As long as Big Brother Qianfan likes it, Miaomiao is willing to do anything."
