Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Do You Desire Power?

Everyone was somewhat surprised by Liu Yunxi’s sudden reaction and followed her gaze toward Chen Fan.

Qin Lan had already adjusted her mood to greet her idol. She forced a smile, hoping to leave a good impression on her idol, but when she heard Liu Yunxi shout out "Chen Fan," the smile on her face froze again.

She watched as Liu Yunxi passed by her and went straight to Chen Fan.

"Chen Fan... knows Liu Yunxi?" A tinge of jealousy rose in Qin Lan’s heart, mixed with a bit of disbelief, because she sensed something different in Liu Yunxi’s tone.

Chen Fan couldn’t help smiling when he saw Liu Yunxi walking toward him, "Long time no see."

The corners of Liu Yunxi’s mouth curled up, and her gaze landed on Shen Lingdie. Seeing her holding onto Chen Fan’s arm, the smile remained on her face while a hint of hostility flickered in her eyes, "And who is this?"

Shen Lingdie said, "Hello, beautiful sister, I am Chen Fan’s future wife."

Chen Fan gave Shen Lingdie a flick on the forehead, then said, "She’s my disciple, Shen Lingdie."

Liu Yunxi looked at Shen Lingdie, then with a smile, she said, "Ah, so you’re the renowned young miss of the Shen Family, Gang City’s number one beauty. Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved. Chen Fan, your luck with women is truly not shallow."

Chen Fan said, "Don’t misunderstand, Lingdie just likes to joke. Our relationship is simply that of a master and apprentice."

As Liu Yunxi’s eyes darted around, she also took Chen Fan’s other arm, "Is that so? I, too, would like to be your disciple then."

Everyone around who saw this was visibly shocked.

"Oh my God, am I seeing things? Liu Yunxi actually hooked arms with that guy!"

"My goddess! What does this mean? Could it be that this man is her boyfriend?"

"And there’s another girl holding his arm, that’s... the young miss of the Shen Family! What on earth is up with this guy, getting both Liu Yunxi and the Shen Family’s young miss hooked on his arms? I wouldn’t even dare to dream of this!"

"Damn it, I hereby declare, this man is my mortal enemy!"

...

A group of reporters saw what was happening here and immediately rushed over, snapping photos rapidly.

Chen Fan felt a headache looking at Liu Yunxi’s sudden action, thinking to himself that this woman really wasn’t easy to deal with.

"Let go first, you’re a public figure after all. There are so many reporters over there taking pictures, this isn’t good for your image."

Liu Yunxi, unconcerned, said, "What? She can hold your arm, and I can’t?"

Shen Lingdie said, "He’s my master, it’s only right for me to hold his arm!"

Liu Yunxi was undaunted, "I’ve even shared a ’spell’ with him, so it’s even more reasonable for me to hold his arm."

Shen Lingdie’s eyes widened, "You two..."

Chen Fan, feeling helpless, shook off both girls and said, "Ladies, please spare me."

Liu Yunxi and Shen Lingdie exchanged glances, sparks silently flying between them.

The onlookers were shocked once again by this scene.

"Whoa, that dude was being hugged by two gorgeous women and seemed quite reluctant. He actually shook them both off!"

"This scene... Why do I feel like Liu Yunxi and the young miss of the Shen Family are getting jealous over each other? How on earth did he manage that!"

"Quick, quick, quick, get this shot. Tomorrow’s headline will be, ’Popular Leading Lady Liu Yunxi in Tug-of-War with Shen Family’s Young Miss Over a Mysterious Man—Jealousy At Play!’"

...

As Qin Lan watched this scene unfold, she was completely stunned.

She thought back to her words that no woman would be interested in Chen Fan, feeling a burning sensation on her face.

If Liu Yunxi and the Shen Family’s young miss publicly fighting over Chen Fan didn’t count as him being desirable, then likely no man in the world would be considered so.

In contrast, she felt so plain, whether compared to Liu Yunxi or Shen Lingdie. Next to these two women, she even felt ashamed.

She felt like a joke.

Her heart was filled with jealousy and confusion.

"Why! Why is a loser like Chen Fan so popular? He’s just the man I rejected. It’s not fair!"

She roared in her heart and then walked toward Liu Yunxi.

She was going to expose Chen Fan’s true colors to Liu Yunxi and show her how despicable that guy really was!

"Liu Yunxi...," Qin Lan called out.

Liu Yunxi turned her head, glanced at Qin Lan, and quickly decided this woman posed no threat to her, then asked Chen Fan, "Who is this person? I saw you talking to her just now."

But she heard Chen Fan say, "Don’t know her."

Liu Yunxi nodded and gave a look to the bodyguard beside her.

Several bodyguards immediately pushed Qin Lan aside, giving her no chance to speak with Liu Yunxi.

Qin Lan was desperately upset, never having imagined that the idol she had worshipped for so long would treat her this way.

"Liu Yunxi, don’t be fooled by that guy, he’s nothing but a loser, not worth a penny. He doesn’t deserve you at all!" Qin Lan screamed hysterically.

Liu Yunxi said to Chen Fan, "Fans nowadays are really passionate. This woman must be a hater."

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Could be."

Liu Yunxi smiled at Shen Lingdie and then pinched her on the cheek, "Sis, I’ve got to get ready for the show, but let’s have tea sometime when I’m free, huh?"

Shen Lingdie snorted, "Bad woman, just like Su Qingyan, all bad!"

Liu Yunxi looked at Chen Fan with a teasing smile, "Don’t leave after the show is over today; I’ve really missed you. Let’s have dinner together at least."

Chen Fan gave in but still nodded his head.

Liu Yunxi didn’t delay any further and entered the sports hall surrounded by her bodyguards.

Chen Fan looked at Shen Lingdie, "Let’s go in too."

Shen Lingdie glared resentfully at Chen Fan and suddenly cursed, "Jerk!"

Then she headed toward the ticket check.

Chen Fan sighed softly and followed her.

Because of her emotional outburst, Qin Lan was treated like a madwoman by Liu Yunxi’s bodyguards, who showed her no mercy, pushing her to the roadside; one of them shoved her so hard that she fell to the ground.

"What a world, full of crazies. Madwoman, just go home, don’t be a menace to society out here."

The two bodyguards turned and left.

Qin Lan, with hair in disarray and a look of despair on her face, sat on the ground. Overwhelmed by emotion, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

"Why? Why has it come to this? Chen Fan was nothing but a son-in-law in the Qin family, so why did everything go his way after our divorce, while I keep facing one misfortune after another? God, you must be blind!"

She sobbed and cursed, causing passing people to think she had run away from a mental asylum, and they quickly steered clear.

At that moment, an old man dressed in a black robe and radiating an eerie aura passed by.

The old man’s appearance should have drawn a lot of attention, but none of the people on the street looked at him, as if they couldn’t see him at all.

The old man saw Qin Lan, his eyes narrowed, and a strange, purplish glint flickered in his eyes; then, he gradually widened them and muttered, "Such strong resentment! She is exactly the candidate I’ve been looking for!"

A smile appeared on his face before he approached Qin Lan.

"Miss."

Qin Lan, hearing the voice, turned her head to look around but saw no one, which made her shiver, "Could it be, am I really insane?"

At that moment, the old man in the black robe dispelled his spell and appeared before Qin Lan.

Qin Lan jumped in fright, her eyes fixated on the black-robed old man. "Who... who are you? What do you want?"

The black-robed old man chuckled with a tease, "Miss, I see you are filled with grievances, you must harbor deep hatred, don’t you?"

He flung his sleeves back with an air of arrogance and asked:

"Do you desire power?"
