Han Bing looked around and noticed a gigantic tree beside the window of Xu Wan’s room. He hesitated for a while before he took off his jacket. Then, he jumped towards the tree from the rock.

“Ah—” Xu Wan screamed in fright. Then she frantically covered her mouth.

“What’s wrong, Miss Xu?” the guard outside asked.

“I’m fine. I’m changing my clothes. Don’t come in.” Xu Wan’s voice trembled slightly. When she heard no movement outside, she looked at Han Bing. “Do you want to die?!”

What if he fell down just now!

The sunlight fell on the window lattice, bathing half of Xu Wan’s body in the pale golden rays. Her attire differed greatly from her plain ones in the outside world. She appeared luxurious and elegant, like a young lady from a wealthy family. Han Bing was stunned. When he regained his senses, he smiled and said, “Yes, I don’t care if I die. I only want you!”

Xu Wan blushed. She did not know how to reply.

“Give me your hand, I’ll catch you!” Han Bing reached out his hand to Xu Wan.

Xu Wan’s face was bloodless. She was frightened, but she also knew that if she didn’t follow Han Bing, she would have to marry Qiao Chen!

No way!

Xu Wan gritted her teeth and stretched her hand out towards Han Bing.

Suddenly, Han Bing exerted strength and pulled Xu Wan into his arms. He hooked his legs around the tree trunk and wrapped his other hand around Xu Wan’s waist, firmly catching on to her.

The two of them hid on the tree. Han Bing slid down the tree trunk first. Then, he found a construction ladder from God knows where and Xu Wan climbed down using it.

“I’ve already smashed all the surveillance cameras when I just arrived. Don’t worry, that guy won’t be able to find us for the time being,” Han Bing said in a relaxed tone.

Xu Wan looked at Han Bing in surprise. “Aren’t you worried he will take revenge on you?”

“Me, afraid of him?” Han Bing sneered.

Actually, he and Qiao Chen had always been arch-enemies. Although the two families had business dealings, Han Bing had been at odds with Qiao Chen since young. He would always compete with Qiao Chen.

But Qiao Chen never took him seriously, which made him even more furious.

Later, when he heard that Qiao Chen had a fiancée, he found an excuse to come to the Qiao family and started pursuing Qiao Chen’s fiancée.

He felt that if he snatched Qiao Chen’s woman, he would have somehow defeated Qiao Chen.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wan ignored him too.

Five years later, Xu Wan and Qiao Chen annulled their engagement. Han Bing thought about Xu Wan’s rejection of him back then and felt indignant. Hence, he went to find Xu Wan again.

However, he realized that he gradually started to like Xu Wan and care more about her sincerely. He didn’t just want to get Xu Wan out of spite. He felt she differed from other women. She had moved him. He wanted to see her smile at him. He also liked to make her anxious and angry. When he saw her looking at him with her eyes full of himself, he was as happy as a child who had just gotten candy.

Han Bing took Xu Wan to the bar he owned. The name of the bar was “Cape” which sounded very romantic.

After entering a room, Xu Wan was glancing around its luxurious interior when Han Bing suddenly hugged her.

Xu Wan received a shock. Han Bing said warmly, “Wan Wan, have you thought it through? Are you willing to accept me? I’m so happy today. I thought you would ignore me forever!”

Xu Wan pushed Han Bing away forcefully and said uncomfortably, “Young Master Han, please maintain proper decorum. I’m very grateful for your help today. I’ll think of a way to repay your debt, but this doesn’t mean that I’m willing to be with you. If you’re willing to be friends with me, I’ll be very happy!”

Han Bing stared at Xu Wan deeply and said profoundly, “Repay me? I’m the young master of the Han family. I don’t lack anything, be it money or women. As long as I want it, I can get it. Don’t you understand? I only want you! I don’t want to be your friend. I want to be your boyfriend!”

Xu Wan felt that Han Bing didn’t get her point. Her head hurt as she frowned and said reluctantly, “Then you have to give me some time. I don’t know you, okay? If I casually agreed to be your girlfriend, it would be irresponsible of me. Let’s get to know each other first, okay?”

“Good, good, good. What do you want to know about me? My height is 187, and my weight…” Han Bing introduced his various statistics excitedly.

Xu Wan’s face darkened. Just when she was figuring out what to do with Han Bing, her phone rang.

It was Qiao Chen.

…

After Qiao Chen settled his own matters, he went to fetch Xu Wan. However, he found that she was missing.

Ah De kneeled on the ground and looked down. “Miss Xu must have jumped out of the window.”

Qiao Chen’s expression became gloomy instantly.

“What about the surveillance cameras?”

“Someone dismantled them,” Ah De said, his voice shaking.

While Qiao Chen stared at the empty room, his body suddenly exuded a terrifying aura. His gaze was as cold as ice..
