your son is going to school, not showing off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Study hard and aim high, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use this card!” Bai Xi pulled out a Black Gold Card from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for the reward, Your Grace, I’m off!” Zhang Fan took the card and ran off in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve got to be kidding, he had no intentions of staying in such an awkward atmosphere at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, he also understood why Hao Xiaomin had such an expression when she first saw Ye Xuan and Di Xiele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, that girl Hao Xiaomin sure was fixated; she didn’t even recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At school, that time, it was their first meeting too, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He certainly didn’t have such delusions as to think Hao Xiaomin had fallen for him at first sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really have that kind of charm when he was nearly ennobled by the big-chested sister?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me a break!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love is something that should just happen naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he already had Zhang Xiaoyuan and Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any more would be asking for divine retribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After jogging a short distance, Zhang Fan made a beeline for the café and sent a text to Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waiting for you in the café, don’t bring the big-chested sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of texting, Ye Xuan also found an excuse to run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Zhang Fan leisurely drinking his coffee, her little pink fist came smashing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the situation with Hao Xiaomin!” Ye Xuan pouted as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was her first time visiting his home, and someone had actually come to Zhang Fan’s house to compete for his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this like a slap to her face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan quickly pulled Ye Xuan into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t be blamed for this, I met her for the first time at school too, It’s all my mom’s fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Zhang Fan also explained the situation with Hao Xiaomin to Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Ye Xuan’s mouth fell open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s what my mom told me, I don’t know the full story either!” Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, I want to see how you’ll handle this now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hao Xiaomin being so pretty and having such a connection with your mom, just wait, you’ll be bothered by this in the future!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the origin of the issue calmed Ye Xuan’s anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having encountered that incident at such a young age, and with Zhang Fan’s mom offering her so-called mother’s love at the time, it was understandable why she was acting this way now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as she pondered, Ye Xuan was startled by her own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ptui, ptui, ptui, that goblin is competing with me for Zhang Fan, what am I thinking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Ye Xuan said with wide eyes, “You just ran off like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it improper to leave Lele at your house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan shook his head: “I’ll definitely be going back home tonight, let’s go car shopping first, else it’s inconvenient to get home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about the first driver he met outside of school made Zhang Fan’s teeth itch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, with his own car, he could drive however he wanted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buying a car?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great, I know a 4S store that’s not bad, let’s go take a look.” Suddenly, Ye Xuan was also interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a car meant convenience everywhere, and she had long wanted to learn to drive, but just never had the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the college entrance examination, she had been busy with art tutorials; she didn’t want to fall behind Zhang Xiaoyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That girl was studying music at the British Royal Academy, and if Ye Xuan didn’t make an effort, wouldn’t she be left far behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about Zhang Xiaoyuan’s haughty words to her at the time of departure made her teeth itch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I’m back, you little goblin better play second fiddle to me nicely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were Zhang Xiaoyuan’s exact words!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, thinking singing is a big deal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I can paint!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I become a painter, I’ll see how she can be arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about Zhang Fan choosing an art major made Ye Xuan’s lips curl up into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking about, smiling so brilliantly?” Zhang Fan reached out and pinched Ye Xuan’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan swatted away Zhang Fan’s hand: “Nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go buy that car!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What color do you like?” Zhang Fan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sky blue!” Ye Xuan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan immediately rolled his eyes: “Is there even such a color as sky blue!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1356,"2026-06-08T10:03:22.317Z",1,"novelbin.me","922c9744b2e5e62879133d0c19b4ad157f9acf39d3fff6397fa8c34ef5fe6c31","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-626","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-624",1920,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-cover.jpg"]
