?53: Chapter 053: Ning Fan, You’re Actually Not Dead 53: Chapter 053: Ning Fan, You’re Actually Not Dead Xu Family villa, late at night…

    “Ah…a ghost!”

    An earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the villa, originating from the second young Miss of the Xu Family, Xu Xiaoqing.

    Xu Xiaoqing had just woken up and, seeing Ning Fan sitting beside her, jumped up shouting and screaming.

    This scream also woke Xu Ruolan.

    Xu Ruolan turned her head and immediately seeing Ning Fan by their side, also excitedly sat up.

    But Xu Xiaoqing realized that Ning Fan did not appear to be a ghost, but was actually alive, and suddenly tears streamed down as she leaped to hug Ning Fan.

    “Silly fool, you are not dead, you are not dead, I thought you were dead, you silly fool, you scared me to death.

    I thought I would never see you again.”

    Xu Xiaoqing was both crying and shouting, stirring up the whole Xu Family villa.

    This scene was too unbelievable for Xu Xiaoqing; she had seen with her own eyes Ning Fan committing suicide for their sake, stabbing himself in the chest, leaving no possibility for survival.

    But now Ning Fan was not dead and was right in front of her, how could she not be excited and happy!

    Ning Fan scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, “Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?

    Are you having another nightmare?”

    “A dream?”

    Xu Ruolan was also frustrated, the previous scene vivid in her mind; Ning Fan was indeed threatened to commit suicide, and then he actually did.

    But now Ning Fan was alive and well, with no signs of having committed suicide.

    Both women were simultaneously confused.

    This absolutely couldn’t be a dream.

    Xu Ruolan stared blankly at Ning Fan and asked,

    “Ning Fan, what on earth is going on, how are you alive?

    And how did we come back to the Xu Family villa?”

    Xu Xiaoqing, still hugging Ning Fan and refusing to let go, also repeatedly asked for the reason like Xu Ruolan.

    Ning Fan frowned, this reason was not easy to find.

    After thinking for a while, Ning Fan finally laughed and said, “You two ate and drank too much, and when driving, the effects of alcohol kicked in, and you both passed out.

    I was the one who brought you two back here.”

    Ning Fan felt this reason was not very reliable, but it was not too far off either.

    Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing looked up at Ning Fan.

    “Is that so?”

    Xu Xiaoqing somewhat disbelieved, the scene before was so real, completely unlike a dream.

    The scenes in a dream wouldn’t be remembered so clearly, and how could she possibly dream of Ning Fan in her dream.

    “Of course it is, you guys still think I really died,” Ning Fan said.

    Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing glanced at each other, displaying a skeptical look.

    This was clearly not a dream, jokingly, how could two people possibly have the same dream?

    But Ning Fan was indeed alive, not dead from suicide…

    could it really be a dream?

    Xu Ruolan turned to Ning Fan and said, “Ning Fan, I didn’t drink alcohol.”

    Ning Fan: “…”

    Ning Fan mused, damn, could you not directly debunk me like this, my little heart can’t take it.

    “If it wasn’t alcohol, then it must have been due to some other reason, maybe you were just too tired and had a nightmare when you got home.”

    Ning Fan hurriedly gave another reason, even if the two women didn’t quite believe it, he did not want to delve into what happened before.

    The more these two women knew about this issue, the worse it would be, knowing too much would subject them to more dangerous retaliation.

    His own identity included, if they were involved, it would implicate them as well.

    Of course, Xu Ruolan did not believe him, she remembered herself in the dream, also remembered Hong Shanzhe and that villa…

    But Ning Fan was still alive, and both she and Xu Xiaoqing were unharmed; this was contradictory to her memories and she had no way to explain it!

    Xu Xiaoqing also found it unbelievable, sitting dazedly on the bed staring at Ning Fan, her thoughts wandering back to the recent “nightmare.”

    Just as the two were about to say something to Ning Fan, he was no longer in their room!

    …

    There was no need for Ning Fan to find more excuses for their dreams, he quietly left the women’s room.

    Upon entering his room, the playful and smiling expression on Ning Fan’s face gradually became serious.

    His chest was still bleeding, the stab wound deep.

    Having been hugged by Xu Xiaoqing just now, more blood had oozed out, causing him such pain that his eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Sёar?h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    It had to be dealt with quickly.

    What made Ning Fan somewhat gloomy was that they still hadn’t found the mastermind behind everything.

    Hong Shanzhe was just a scapegoat; killing him was just that.

    But who the mastermind was remained uncertain.

    This stab seemed rather pointless.

    …

    The next morning.

    Xu Xiaoqing came early to Ning Fan’s room because she clearly remembered last night’s incident, which was entirely different from what Ning Fan had said.

    She wanted to figure out what exactly the situation was and why Ning Fan’s account differed.

    After agonizing for a while, Xu Xiaoqing knocked on Ning Fan’s door, as she also needed his help with something.

    Knock knock…

    While knocking, she said, “You lazy idiot, get up already and help me out, will you?”

    There was no movement inside the room, nor any sound from Ning Fan.

    Xu Xiaoqing pushed the door open and walked in, only to lock eyes with Ning Fan.

    Xu Xiaoqing saw Ning Fan bare-bottomed, his body still dripping with water.

    “Eek!

    There’s a pervert!”

    Xu Xiaoqing was stunned; that wasn’t her shouting.

    After confirming she hadn’t cried out, Xu Xiaoqing looked at Ning Fan, realizing it was this guy who had shouted!

    Suddenly understanding, Xu Xiaoqing exclaimed, “Pervert?

    Where’s the pervert?

    Where?”

    Ning Fan looked at Xu Xiaoqing reproachfully, then quickly scrambled onto the bed, adopting the look of a wronged damsel:

    “You female pervert, under broad daylight, what are you trying to do?!”

    “Psh, like I haven’t seen your little worm before.

    The male protagonists in Island nation movies are way bigger than yours.”

    “Crap…”

    Ning Fan was dumbfounded.

    This girl wasn’t even of age yet, and she was watching Island nation movies.

    And comparing him to the male leads in those movies…

    He felt enormously humiliated as he glared at Xu Xiaoqing.

    Xu Xiaoqing just sat at the head of the bed, her face wearing a smile.

    Looking at Xu Xiaoqing’s smile, Ning Fan, filled with regret, cried out more plaintively, “What are you trying to do, you stinky pervert!”

    Xu Xiaoqing, still smiling, said, “Ning Fan, help me out, will you?”

    Ning Fan wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, his expression stern as he declared, “Not helping, not for all the money in the world…

    I refuse to be your tool for gratification!”

    Xu Xiaoqing was speechless at what Ning Fan was imagining.

    She had to pull out her trump card.

    She said, grinning, “I can pay you.”

    “Not helping!”

    “Ten thousand!”

    “What!

    Ten thousand!

    Do I look like a man who would do anything for money?”

    Ning Fan was completely flustered, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

    Ten thousand yuan!

    That was a lot of money for helping her just this once.

    Seeing Ning Fan’s surprise, Xu Xiaoqing thought he found the amount too little, and indeed it seemed a bit low.

    “Then make it twenty thousand.”

    “What!

    Twenty thousand?”

    Xu Xiaoqing thought again, feeling that twenty thousand might still be too little, especially to act as her boyfriend.

    It definitely won’t suffice.

    “Let’s make it thirty thousand then, in cash.”

    “Deal!”

    Xu Xiaoqing: “…”
