Chapter 17

Lin Fan followed the flow of the situation and released his hands. Huang Rong fell straight down, but just as she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, she was pulled back by the waist by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan helped her stand straight. "Miss, if you heard some bad rumors about me from somewhere and developed a misunderstanding, why not stay and see for yourself whether I am as unbearable as the rumors say?"

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is doubting. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Miss, do you think I'm right?"

Lin Fan wore a faint smile on his face, calmly and peacefully trying to persuade Huang Rong.

"If I stay, I'm afraid you'll just put on an act, and wouldn't I be wasting my effort then?"

Huang Rong said with a slightly flushed face. Although her face was covered in dust and couldn't be seen clearly, her originally jade-white neck suddenly became stained with a flush of red.

At this moment, she didn't dwell on Lin Fan calling her 'Miss' anymore. Her slender waist had been held by him, and the two had been so close just now; if Lin Fan still couldn't tell she was a girl, that would be the real problem.

"I wonder if you've heard the saying: 'There are only thieves who steal for a thousand days, never thieves who guard for a thousand days.' Over time, a person's vigilance will gradually fade. By the same token, no matter how well someone disguises themselves, they will naturally reveal flaws over time. I wonder if you dare to take the risk and find out the truth?"

Lin Fan looked at Huang Rong before him and asked with a smile.

"Staying is staying, what do I have to fear? I, Huang Rong, have traveled north and south, and I rely on my courage!"

"Besides, if you dare to lay a hand on me, my father won't let you off. He is a Grandmaster!"

Provoked by Lin Fan, Huang Rong's usually clever and eccentric brain seemed to short-circuit, and she blurted out that she would stay!

Once the words were out, Huang Rong felt a bit of regret. She knew too little about Lin Fan, and her Wu Gong was not as good as his. If he had malicious intentions toward her, wouldn't she be finished?

However, this Lin Fan was indeed handsome and extraordinary; it wouldn't be bad if she could marry him.
