"Alright, everyone stop daydreaming. Let's not delay the charity event today."

No need to explain further; these journalists should understand that what just happened must be treated as if it never occurred.

Xu Fan looked at them and said, "I'm sure you all saw it; these wealthy individuals are all generous people, and they'll definitely donate a lot of money to those in need later."

"I'm not wrong, am I?"

Xu Fan glanced at the wealthy individuals in the hall as he spoke.

This nearly made them burst into tears!

Jesus, he's being too harsh!

Having just had a chunk of meat cut off by Xu Fan, they're already significantly weakened, and now they have to donate too. How will they survive this...

Xu Fan's praise of their generosity wasn't wrong; after all, to outsiders, it seemed like they doubled up and gave all the gold and silver they'd swallowed to Xu Fan.

They had no choice but to tough it out and donate. They all shivered, stole a glance at Xu Fan, and then quickly agreed.

"Yes, yes, donating is a must. After all, we're generous people."

"We've reached where we are now; giving back to society is a must!"

...

One by one, they scrambled to speak in front of the journalists. Xu Fan wasn't worried about them running their mouths.

He had no plans to leave before this event ended.

By then, he'd see who dares to talk the talk but not walk the walk.

"Alright, let's find a place to sit."

With the interlude involving Ye Xuanhao over, Xu Fan greeted Qin Mengyue and Old Man Li and immediately found a spot to sit down.

With that, the charity event got officially underway.

Whether it was because of Xu Fan's reminder or not, the event proceeded extraordinarily smoothly.

In order to help those in need, the wealthy elites of Shanghai were indeed eager to throw money at the cause.

In the end, Qin Mengyue gave the closing speech.

While she rarely attended such events, she had prepared her speech in advance, so her performance on stage was acceptable.

Accompanied by enthusiastic applause, Qin Mengyue returned to Xu Fan's side.

"Old Man Li, the two of us will take our leave now."

As the charity event was about to end, Xu Fan got up with Qin Mengyue and said goodbye to Old Man Li before heading towards the front door.

Immediately, many wealthy individuals in the VIP seats followed them with their eyes.

They had no interest in the host's eloquent words, only cautiously watching Xu Fan leave.

Once Xu Fan was out the door, everyone heaved a huge sigh of relief.

For them, this nightmare was finally over.

This blood-soaked lesson strongly informed them that they must keep a low profile in the future.

...

Once they left the hotel's banquet hall, Xu Fan and Qin Mengyue went straight out of the Shangri-La Hotel.

"Hmm? Xu Fan, what's going on?"

Getting into the car with Xu Fan, and seeing him not start the car, Qin Mengyue couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ah, I can't; I feel so dizzy. I can't drive."

"..."

It seemed like he was waiting for her to ask. As soon as she did, Xu Fan started acting dramatically while sitting in the driver's seat.

Qin Mengyue rolled her eyes.

This jerk...

How could she not know what little scheme he's plotting?

With a forced smile, Qin Mengyue said, "Really? You must've tired yourself out earlier."

"Why don't we just…"

At these words, Qin Mengyue seemed a bit shy. Seeing her bite her lips in hesitation, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

This woman looks like she's about to have a breakthrough.

"Let me drive."

"Huh?"

Thinking about it, Xu Fan thought she meant staying at a hotel together and that things would naturally progress to some intimate action.

But her proposal was the complete opposite of what he imagined.

"You…you drive?"

"That's not a good idea…"

Seeing Xu Fan's reluctant face, Qin Mengyue feigned irritation and snorted, "What? You don't trust female drivers?"

"Not at all…"

Xu Fan pouted, his face full of reluctance.

It's not that he looked down on female drivers, but shouldn't they be doing more adult things tonight?

"Alright, stop dilly-dallying. Get out."

Without giving Xu Fan a chance, Qin Mengyue shoved him out of the car.

Watching Xu Fan walk gloomily to the passenger seat, Qin Mengyue's eyes flashed with a sly smile as she took the driver's seat.

Once Xu Fan got in, she started the car and drove into the night.

Speeding all the way, they soon arrived at their destination.

Xu Fan recognized this place; it was where Qin Mengyue was renting a place in Shanghai.

Knowing her, she'd probably make him leave quickly once they got out of the car, right?

Sigh, so clueless about romance.

"Alright, I'm here. You can go back now."

Just as he thought, Qin Mengyue bid him a lukewarm farewell, opened the car door, and walked out.

"Ah!"

Feeling a bit down, Xu Fan suddenly heard a scream from outside.

Xu Fan quickly looked up and rushed outside.

"Damn it…"

It seemed the darkness was too much; Qin Mengyue had accidentally twisted her ankle. Xu Fan immediately jumped out of the car, not thinking twice.

"Are you okay?"

To match tonight's event, Qin Mengyue was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes.

Xu Fan knew her too well; she was a stranger to high heels. Her fall was likely because she couldn't handle them.

It was late, and letting her sit on the ground was not an option. Xu Fan effortlessly scooped her up in a princess carry.

"Give me the key."

No room for negotiation, Xu Fan's dominant aura made even a strong woman like Qin Mengyue turn into a compliant lamb.

"Okay…"

With a weak response, she handed the house key to Xu Fan from her bag.

"Hold on tight."

As he took the key, Xu Fan reminded Qin Mengyue to hold on to his neck while he carried her into the house.

Running quickly, they reached the doorway. Xu Fan unlocked the door and carried Qin Mengyue inside.

Switching on the lights and glancing around, he carried her to the living room sofa.

"Bear with it, let me take a look first."

Carefully placing Qin Mengyue on the sofa, Xu Fan held her slender ankle and began examining it seriously...
