CHAPTER 786: CHAPTER 786: MAKE A PHONE CALL TO YE XUAN

On the street outside the movie city, there were many small restaurants, and Zheng Xiaobo picked out a clean one and was ready to take Han Xiaoying over.

Screech!

Just then, as the two were passing a flower bed where there were fewer people, a silver-grey van came speeding from a distance and screeched to a stop in front of them. The doors opened immediately, and three burly men in black rushed towards them.

Zheng Xiaobo and Han Xiaoying were startled, instantly realizing something was off.

"What... what do you want to do!? Mm..."

Their faces turned pale and they screamed in terror.

But before they could even let out a sound, they were seized by the three burly men charging directly at them.

One of them grabbed Han Xiaoying, and the other two took hold of Zheng Xiaobo, one on each side, and forcefully carried both onto the van, which then whizzed away from the area...

Half an hour later.

In an unfinished building located in the suburbs, three men in black got out of the van, escorting Zheng Xiaobo and his companion like prisoners into a warehouse.

At that moment, at the center of the warehouse, there was a man with a centipede scar and a ferocious expression, his eyes ominously dark. The three burly men brought the two captives before him, standing respectfully to the side!

"Scar Brother, we’ve brought the people!"

Following behind the three men in black, a man with a buzz cut in a jacket stepped forward and spoke up.

The man addressed as Scar Brother took a drag of his cigarette, tossed away the half-remaining butt, walked over to Zheng Xiaobo, and, looking down at him contemptuously, asked in an indifferent voice,

"Kid, do I ask you, do you know someone named Ye Xuan?"

Zheng Xiaobo’s heart skipped a beat, but he shouted vehemently, "What Ye Xuan? I don’t know him! Tell you to release me right now, your illegal detention is a crime!"

While speaking, he struggled violently, trying to break free from the restraints.

Slap!

The man in the jacket beside him slapped Zheng Xiaobo hard across the face, stunning him and causing a trickle of blood to flow from his mouth.

"Kid, if you want to live, behave yourself! You’re in our hands now; you still want to act tough? If you don’t want to die, just answer whatever Scar Brother asks later, and if there’s any lie, I wouldn’t mind smashing your face."

The buzz-cut man in a jacket sneered, then threateningly growled at him.

"What... what do you really want to ask?"

Having been slapped, Zheng Xiaobo was angry but didn’t dare to express it, forcibly suppressing the rage in his voice.

It was a rare date with Han Xiaoying, and he had not expected to encounter such an ordeal, abducted by this bunch of unreasonable people to such a place.

To receive a slap for no reason—if his hands had not been tied, he’d now be feeling murderous!

"Actually, it’s nothing big, kiddo, we just need a small favor from you."

This time, Scar Brother spoke leisurely.

"You ask me for a favor by doing this?" Zheng Xiaobo raged, full of resentment.

"Hmph! Why so much nonsense? Just cooperate nicely, and we guarantee you won’t be harmed," the buzz-cut man rebuked.

"Alright, if I help you, you’ll let my girlfriend and me leave?"

"Correct!"

"What favor do you want me to do?"

"Make a call to Ye Xuan for me!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaobo’s face immediately changed.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the Lu family’s small courtyard, Lu Miaochan was standing in front of Ye Xuan with her arms crossed and a smiling face, asking, "Ye Xuan, tomorrow is Chinese Valentine’s Day. Have you thought about what gift you’re going to give me?"

"Ah, I forgot about that. I haven’t prepared a gift yet!" Ye Xuan pretended to come to a sudden realization as he spoke.

Hearing this, Lu Miaochan immediately exploded, frowning and angrily saying, "What? You say you forgot?!"

She was so upset that her pretty face changed, and with pouting lips she angrily said, "You deadbeat Ye Xuan, bad Ye Xuan, do you even care about me anymore? You forgot such an important thing! You definitely don’t have me in your heart anymore, you... you’re so heartless."

"Hahahahaha..."

Seeing Lu Miaochan’s angry expression, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Little sister Miaochan, don’t be angry, I was just teasing you. How could I possibly forget about tomorrow’s Chinese Valentine’s Day? I promised to spend it with you. Even if I forgot my own birthday, I wouldn’t forget your Valentine’s Day gift!"

After finishing his sentence, Ye Xuan couldn’t resist pinching Lu Miaochan’s little nose and laughed heartily once more.

"Are you serious? I haven’t read much, you’re not lying to me, are you?"

Lu Miaochan slapped away Ye Xuan’s hand and looked at him suspiciously with her cute little nose wrinkled.

"You haven’t read much, which is perfect because I’ve read plenty and I definitely won’t lie to you!" Ye Xuan said with a laugh, teasing her.

"Annoying, you’re not allowed to mimic the way I talk!"

Lu Miaochan pouted, then stared at Ye Xuan and asked, "You said you’re not lying to me, then what gift are you preparing for me?"

"I’m planning to give... Haha! Of course, it has to be a secret. If I tell you beforehand, it wouldn’t be a surprise then."

Watching Lu Miaochan’s nervous face listening intently, Ye Xuan’s eyes twinkled as he shook his head from side to side.

"That’s right, to keep a bit of suspense, tell me about it tomorrow! However..."

Lu Miaochan nodded and then quickly changed the subject, saying, "This beauty is giving you a heads-up. If I’m not satisfied with your gift, or if you just casually dismiss it, huh! Then I definitely won’t agree to you doing ’that’ with me."

With a warning in her voice, Lu Miaochan continued, "Of course, I don’t expect you to give me any precious gifts, but they must be thoughtful, able to make me feel your sincerity! If you don’t have that kind of attitude, even if you gave me mountains of gold and silver, it wouldn’t move me at all!"

"Miaochan, rest assured, the gift I’ll give you will definitely be satisfying!"

Ye Xuan nodded eagerly, his face breaking into a mischievous smile.

"Hehe, just wait and get all cleaned up tomorrow night, ready to be the meal of this big bad wolf."

"Ptui! You evil big bad wolf, always scheming against your little white rabbit."

Lu Miaochan spat lightly, her cheeks blushing slightly. It never took more than a few sentences of chatting with this guy before things started getting indecorous.

"Right, if I’m not plotting about you, who else should I scheme about? Besides, it’s not like it’s just enjoyable for me; you’ll have fun too, right?" Ye Xuan said in a casual tone.

Lu Miaochan was bashfully at a loss for words and unusually did not retort.

She leaned her head against Ye Xuan’s chest and, drawing circles with her index finger on his chest, pouted and said, "Ye Xuan, I’ve never been in love before. Both emotionally and physically, I’m very pure! I’ve already given myself to you, so from now on, no matter what, you have to treat me much better!"

"I’ll treat you ten, no, a hundred times better, and care for you as if you were my mom!" Ye Xuan joked with a laugh.

"Go to hell! Who wants to be your mom? You make me sound ancient."

Lu Miaochan lightly hit his chest while pouting.

That gentle tap made Ye Xuan feel so comfortable, almost as if his soul was about to fly away.
