After leaving Zuoqiu Chenyu’s sight, Wang Haoran arrived outside the private room where Qin Yunhan was.

At the entrance of the room, Xiao Yifeng was standing guard. He looked slightly aggrieved. Wang Haoran thought for a moment and realized that Xiao Yifeng must have been kicked out of the room by Qin Yunhan, leaving him no choice but to stand outside.

Wang Haoran bypassed Xiao Yifeng and walked directly into the room.

“Go away, don’t come in, I get annoyed just seeing you… Oh, it’s you.”

Qin Yunhan was playing on her phone. Upon hearing the door open, she impatiently spoke up. However, when she looked up and saw a face that made her heart flutter, she retracted her words and couldn’t help but smile brightly.

“It’s late, let’s go back.”

“Mm-hmm.” Qin Yunhan got up from the sofa and left with Wang Haoran.

As they passed by Xiao Yifeng, she warned him with a stern face, “I’m telling you, don’t you dare tell my dad about this!”

“Miss, I promise, but can you not be so harsh with me in the future?” Xiao Yifeng replied with a grin.

“Okay, I promise. Just remember not to mention my visit to the bar!” Qin Yunhan reminded him once more.

“Definitely, definitely.” Xiao Yifeng nodded vigorously.

After speaking with Xiao Yifeng, Qin Yunhan followed Wang Haoran out.

Once they were out of Xiao Yifeng’s sight, Qin Yunhan quickly explained to Wang Haoran, “I really can’t stand Xiao Yifeng. I was only nice to him just now to ensure he keeps quiet and doesn’t tell my dad about the bar.”

“I understand,” Wang Haoran smiled.

Qin Yunhan’s explanation clearly showed she cared about his opinion, fearing he might misunderstand.

The two left the bar and drove away in a Ferrari. Wang Haoran wasn’t worried about Xiao Yifeng staying behind to gather information from Zuoqiu Chenyu. If he were Xiao Yifeng, he wouldn’t feel at ease letting Qin Yunhan leave with him alone. He guessed Xiao Yifeng was probably following them in a car.

Wang Haoran didn’t bother with him for now. Qin Yunhan’s current affection level for him was at 65. A little more, and it would reach a significant breakthrough.

Wang Haoran pondered for a moment and suddenly said to Qin Yunhan, “Are you curious why I privately talked to Zuoqiu Chenyu?”

“That beautiful female boss is called Zuoqiu Chenyu? That’s a nice name. Just hearing it, I wouldn’t associate her with being a boss,” Qin Yunhan remarked, then responded to Wang Haoran’s question, “I did find it a bit strange. You don’t seem like someone who would associate with people like her.”

“I don’t want to deal with people like her either, but she’s related to the people who kidnapped you,” Wang Haoran said, half-truthfully.

“You came here for me?” Qin Yunhan asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Wang Haoran nodded.

This was true; he came partly because of Qin Yunhan.

Qin Yunhan’s heart surged with emotion, unable to calm down for a long time. She murmured, “Why would you do something so dangerous yourself?”

“I was just too worried about you and didn’t want anything to happen to you…” Wang Haoran said sincerely, as if revealing his true feelings.

Qin Yunhan’s body trembled slightly, looking at him incredulously, “Why… why are you so good to me?”

Wang Haoran didn’t speak. He simply reached out and held Qin Yunhan’s small hand.

Qin Yunhan naturally understood the meaning behind this gesture, and her heart leapt with joy.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Neither spoke, but sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

[Ding! The female lead Qin Yunhan’s affection for the host has increased by 10. Current total affection is 75 (Deeply Attached).]

[Ding! The host has significantly influenced the plot direction, gaining 800 villain points. Xiao Yifeng’s protagonist halo -30, host’s villain halo +30!]

Is it really working?

Wang Haoran received the system notification and couldn’t help but smile secretly. He deliberately mentioned meeting Zuoqiu Chenyu to solve Qin Yunhan’s troubles, hoping to win her favor. However, he wasn’t sure if this method would work. But now it seemed Qin Yunhan’s affection for him had indeed increased significantly.

Thinking about it, Qin Yunhan didn’t know his true abilities and thought it was dangerous for him to go to Zuoqiu Chenyu’s territory. A guy willing to take such risks for her, how could she not be moved?

In fact, Qin Yunhan unknowingly had the highest affection for him among several female leads, reaching 75, which was 5 points higher than Xu Muyan.

With an affection level of 75, her tolerance should be quite high, right?

Wang Haoran thought to himself and suddenly released Qin Yunhan’s hand, tentatively placing it on her fair, long leg.

Qin Yunhan flinched but didn’t make a sound. Wang Haoran squeezed lightly, and she still didn’t speak, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Haoran found it amusing and wanted to go further, but his driving skills were limited. Driving a Ferrari with one hand was a bit dangerous, so he had to suppress his mischievous thoughts.

There’s plenty of time in the future; no need to rush.

The Ferrari sped along the road and soon arrived at the entrance of Shuizhe High School. After Qin Yunhan got out of the car, Wang Haoran watched her walk into the school.

Wang Haoran turned back to the Ferrari but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he used his X-ray vision to look around. He quickly spotted Xiao Yifeng in a taxi behind them. As expected, Xiao Yifeng wasn’t at ease with Qin Yunhan being alone with him and had followed them from the bar.

…

“Thankfully, the young lady is still self-respecting and didn’t stay out all night with Wang Haoran,” Xiao Yifeng sighed in relief upon seeing Qin Yunhan enter the school.

He noticed that the young lady seemed to like Wang Haoran, but from her actions, she was still pure and innocent.

Oh no, I forgot the main task!

Xiao Yifeng suddenly slapped his thigh in frustration. He had been so focused on Qin Yunhan that he completely forgot his purpose for going to the Black Peony Bar.

Xiao Yifeng was about to ask the taxi driver to turn back to the bar when his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed Qin Kai.

“Yifeng, how’s the investigation going?” Qin Kai asked when the call connected.

“I haven’t found out yet,” Xiao Yifeng replied, sticking to their agreement not to mention Qin Yunhan’s visit to the bar.

“What have you been doing all this time?” Qin Kai’s tone was slightly surprised. He was starting to doubt Xiao Yifeng’s abilities.

“Uncle Qin, don’t worry. Give me some time, and I’ll definitely find out,” Xiao Yifeng promised.

“If you haven’t found anything, just leave it. I’ve received some reliable information that Eagle has already left the Black Peony’s influence. Investigating from the Black Peony’s side might not be useful. I might as well spend some money to buy information about Eagle.”

“If there’s nothing to find from the Black Peony, I won’t go looking for her. If you get any news about Eagle, Uncle Qin, please let me know immediately,” Xiao Yifeng was eager to help the young lady resolve this crisis. By then, her attitude towards him would surely change significantly.

Wang Haoran only won the young lady’s heart by saving her a few times by chance. When it came to real skills, Xiao Yifeng didn’t consider Wang Haoran a threat.

What Xiao Yifeng didn’t know was that Wang Haoran, using his X-ray vision to read lips, had learned what Xiao Yifeng said.

Wang Haoran felt somewhat relieved. He wasn’t sure if Xiao Yifeng could counteract the poison he had given Zuoqiu Chenyu. But for now, it seemed Xiao Yifeng had no intention of approaching Zuoqiu Chenyu, so there was no immediate concern.
