Ye Fan was feeling a bit frustrated, as Li Zhaojun, like a little mischievous cat, stirred up a flame in his heart but then cheekily left the room, leaving him with nowhere to vent.

Just then, the phone rang, and Ye Fan saw it was Tantai Wanrong calling.

"Aunt Rong, what's up? It isn't about the Jingzhao City explosion case being hard to solve, is it?" Ye Fan asked concernedly.

"No." Tantai Wanrong on the other end of the phone was a bit hesitant, "It's about Meng Yao. That little girl got into Hua Hai University and wants to personally tell you the good news. She asked me to arrange a meeting with you."

"Well..." Ye Fan was also a bit hesitant, "Aunt Rong, you know I'm busy outside and can't come back."

Tantai Wanrong said, "I told her that too, but she... You are the person who influences her the most. She just wants to share this good news with you. Why don't I let her call you?"

Ye Fan saw Li Zhaojun had changed her clothes and came back in, and couldn't help but want to quickly hang up to spend some time with Li Zhaojun, so he agreed, "Alright, I'll briefly meet her when I return tonight... Okay, hanging up."

After hanging up, Li Zhaojun asked, "Who called?"

"It was Aunt Rong, just a little thing, going back to Hua Hai City to see her this afternoon," Ye Fan replied with a smile.

"Got it." Li Zhaojun finally relaxed, walked over, and wrapped her arms around Ye Fan's neck, asking, "Do you think my outfit looks good?"

"Of course, it looks good." Ye Fan chuckled.

"So insincere. You didn't even look carefully before saying it looks good. Sister Shang is also changing her clothes next door. She could come over, but she seems to be a bit shy." Li Zhaojun said, "Her... that has come."

Ye Fan smiled slightly, understanding that although Min Shang previously didn't comprehend emotions, she is a woman after all, and women have that once-a-month experience, during which they actually need some care.

Li Zhaojun wanted to say more, but Ye Fan silenced her by kissing her deeply, and after a long kiss, Li Zhaojun once again playfully escaped, pressing her finger against Ye Fan's forehead, saying, "I should go spend more time with Sister Shang."

Ye Fan was speechless, suddenly feeling like Li Zhaojun was a bit like a little sorceress, deliberately stirring up a fire in his heart but not taking responsibility, and simply running away.

...

...

After the women inside finished changing and emerged into the villa next door, Elder Wu and Li Bei also concluded their interrogation of the Song family uncle and nephew.

"If there are no surprises, their target is here." Elder Wu pointed to a spot on the global map, and that spot coincided with Hua Hai City, "Under the city, it seems to be what they are truly seeking."

Li Zhaojun said, "That was the Hua Hai City where we were before, one of the largest cities in China. It's such a big place, how do we look for it?"

Ye Fan said, "It's not too difficult. Since they're in touch with Tang Boheng, it indicates that the object is under some Tang property. We only need to search the Tang family assets in Huahai City."

"No time like the present, let's go back and take care of things... Junior brother, you should also return to Tianxuan Sect once." Elder Wu looked at Ye Fan, "Even if you return, I will stay on Earth and won't let these people run wild."

"Mm."

Ye Fan wasn't keen on returning to the Pan Gu secret realm, but it was also Elder Wu's purpose in coming back to find him; he needed to go back to try and lift Tai Ning.

The group set out, and even the newly acquainted Lan Jing followed them back to Hua Hai City.

Upon returning to Hua Hai City, Ye Fan's first act was to call Tantai Wanrong and arranged to meet Qin Mengyao at a nearby café.

"Zhao Jun, you go back to the hotel to rest for a while; I'll be back soon." Ye Fan didn't reveal his true intentions for going out to meet Qin Mengyao.

Li Zhaojun had no suspicions and went straight to the hotel with Wu Ding and others.

Ye Fan took a cab to the café, ordered two cups of coffee, and hadn't sat for long before Qin Mengyao arrived.

It had been a while since he last saw Qin Mengyao. She was wearing a white dress, with long black hair, looking very pure and beautiful, especially her pair of eyes, which carried a natural clarity that made anyone feel she was a pure beauty at first glance.

The dress matched her appearance perfectly, showcasing her temperament, while she held a book in her hand, as if she loved studying wherever she went.

"Mengyao, come over." Ye Fan stood up slightly, smiling as he gestured.

Qin Mengyao was delighted to see Ye Fan, smiling as she walked over, attracting envious glances because Qin Mengyao was simply radiant.

But nobody would have thought she was once a rebellious girl, causing some trouble. If she hadn't met Ye Fan, she wouldn't have changed as she had today.

"Ye Fan." Qin Mengyao sat down and opened the book she was holding, revealing a thank-you card. She picked up the card and held it out to Ye Fan with both hands, smiling slightly, "I got into Hua Hai University—a first-rate school—and came here specifically to share this good news with you today."

Ye Fan took the thank-you card and saw a few eye-catching words on the outside—Dedicated to the one I admire most.

Ye Fan felt relieved; at least it said "admire," indicating she still understood the nature of their relationship.

"Congratulations." Ye Fan smiled, "I'm happy for you; you've finally made something of yourself."

"Mm. Ye Fan, did you know? When I found out the news, I wanted to tell you immediately, but I couldn't find you..." Qin Mengyao lowered her head, her face slightly red, "There's one more thing I want your help with."

Ye Fan nodded, "Tell me, if I can help, I'll give it my all."

Qin Mengyao raised her head, looking at Ye Fan very sincerely, "Really? Then don't go back on your word... Pinky swear."

Like a playful little girl, Qin Mengyao surprisingly asked Ye Fan to pinky swear with her, to which Ye Fan obliged, and she then shyly said, "I want... you to be my boyfriend..."

"What?" Ye Fan was a bit dumbfounded, "Mengyao, look at us..."

"You just said you wouldn't go back on your word..."

"I thought you needed help with something, who would've thought you meant..."

"Making you my boyfriend is what I want you to help with. I'm not that young anymore; other girls could date in middle school, and now I've gotten into university. I'm no longer a little girl. Finding a boyfriend doesn't count as young love, does it?"

Ye Fan shook his head, "It isn't young love, but the person you should find shouldn't be me."

"But I genuinely like you. Should I find someone I don't like as a boyfriend?" Qin Mengyao was a bit sad, still somewhat shy, her face turning red, yet she boldly said, "Moreover, on such an important day, besides telling the person I love most that I love him, I also want to give myself... to him. Ye Fan, do you want me tonight?"
