Chapter 535: More than 250 Love Stories (Second Update)
Zhu Xiangxiangâs eyes lit up, and she suddenly bit down hard on Deng Kunâs hand.
As pain forced Deng Kun to let go, Zhu Xiangxiang seized the chance to scream at the top of her lungs, âHelp... Someone wants to kill me.â
Deng Kunâs fingers closed in on her throat, and he yelled angrily, âSo you want to die?â
Zhu Xiangxiangâs back pressed against a pillar. Her face turned from red to pale blue, and she struggled to breathe.
In these suffocatingly desperate moments, she saw a man moving towards her, his figure illuminated against the darkness.
Like a god descended into her world.
From then on, she lost sight of any other colors in her eyes.
Ye Shuang flew in with a kick, sending Deng Kun flying. He stepped on Deng Kun and said, âOld man, daring to be imprudent in front of Master Xiao, wanting to die, arenât you?â
Deng Kun, ignoring the intense pain in his chest, quickly begs for mercy.
Unfortunate must have come to find him, for he had encountered Master Xiao.
Zhu Xiangxiang slid down against the pillar to the ground, staring blankly at the man who was slowly approaching.
Even though her throat felt like it was burning, about to explode.
âGet lost,â Ye Shuang kicked him hard again.
Deng Kun immediately got up and ran away clumsily.
Ye Shuang walked over to Zhu Xiangxiang, who was fixated on Ran Tengxiao. He blocked her view of Ran Tengxiao and asked, âAre you okay?â
Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head: âI... Iâm fine.â
But when she opened her mouth to speak, her face turned even paler, her voice husky and pained.
When she saw Ran Tengxiao passing by and leaving without glancing at her, Zhu Xiangxiang mustered up the courage to step in front of him, successfully stopping him.
Zhu Xiangxiang dares not lift her head; she must look pretty disheveled now.
Looking at the pair of black boots in her line of sight, her heart races. She says softly, âThank you for saving me.â
A cold, aloof voice sounds from above her, âItâs her who saved you.â
With that, the man in the black boots walks away.
Zhu Xiangxiang instinctively turns. The tall figure of the man is bathed in a soft glow from the dimly lit lamplight.
âMaster Xiao,â she calls out with all her strength.
She chases after him and said, âMaster Xiao, we met before in the parking lot of Yunmeng Villa. Do you remember?â
Ye Shuang frowned, looking coldly at Zhu Xiangxiangâs back.
Another woman stuck on Master Xiao, naive and vain, she had seen many such women before.
Their fate would not be any different.
Ran Tengxiao finally stopped and glanced at her.
The manâs eyes are rather apathetic, just like the winter in Jiangzhou, frost-biting cold.
Zhu Xiangxiang feels intimidated, but she still straightens up, revealing a gentle smile just right.
âMr. Zhu Wentaoâs daughter?â
âDo you know Xi Yu?â
Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head.
âHeâs a favorite of Master Xiao, and I...â Zhu Shaodan patted his chest proudly.
âI, Zhu Shaodan, am Xi Yuâs apprentice, no doubt about it.â
âReally?â Zhu Xiangxiang found this difficult to believe, âWho is this Xi Yu?â
She was now desperate to know everything about Ran Tengxiao.
âHe is a very influential person...â
The two walked further away, their voices growing fainter until they were completely swallowed by the vast, cold underground parking lot.
âMaster Xiao, hereâs the financial report for this month.â Xie Zi respectfully handed it over.
Ran Tengxiao flipped through it, âThank you for your hard work.â
âHow can it be hard when itâs for Master Xiao?â Xie Zi lowered his head respectfully.
Ran Tengxiao paused for a moment while flipping through the report, âWhatâs the date today?â
âNovember 11th. Why, Master Xiao?â
Today was Singlesâ Day for men and Womenâs Shopping Spree Day.
Ninety percent of Qinglong Associationâs members were single. It was indeed challenging.
âItâs been a week...â Ran Tengxiao muttered.

Ming Jing had days off recently and didnât plan to stay in the hotel reading. She planned to go out for a walk.
Although she was familiar with the bustling city of Jingzhou, much has changed over the years.
âTimes changes and people change too.â The phrase was indeed accurate.
Liu Muxue was still sleeping at this time. She had difficulty waking up, and Ming Jing didnât want to look after such a princess.
As for Song Yinzhang, he had left for The Songsâ house early in the morning to visit his grandparents, uncles, aunts.
Ming Jing decided to venture out alone.
Just as she walked out of the hotel, a van stopped in front of her. The door opened, revealing Mao Nanaâs warm smile.
âMing Jing, I know youâre free today. Why not keep me company?â
Without a further word, Mao Nana pulled Ming Jing onto the van.
âNana, where are we going?â
Mao Nana applied some lipstick while looking into the compact mirror. Her wide mouth truly was a startling sight.
âYouâll know when we get there.â
When Ming Jing saw the sign âTianshi Plastic Surgery Studioâ, she couldnât help but give a wry smile.
Mao Nana was indeed efficient. It was only last night that they added each other on WeChat, and Mao Nana is already making a visit.
A slender figure stood behind a vine as tall as a man, quietly looking towards the entrance.
âMr. Xue? Dr. Liu invites you inside.â A respectful voice came from the nurse behind him.
The man pursed his lips, took one last look, and then turned and strode away.
