Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1561 - 1550: Late Night Visitor

The bald man shook his head repeatedly, "No. I only said one thing, 'Are you alone, beautiful?' You can ask them if you don't believe me.""Really, there was no harassment. As soon as my brother said that, the woman started hitting people. And then you showed up."

"Alright, I believe you."

At this point, Ning Fan understood everything.

All of this was Rose's trick, she's just trying to make Ning Fan uncomfortable by causing trouble for him.

These six people were at most low-level thugs who usually relied on their numbers to bully honest folks.

If they were truly asked to commit crimes, they might not even have the guts.

"No wonder that woman threw herself into my arms; she was trying to redirect the trouble elsewhere."

If cowardly thugs are slapped for no reason, they will definitely try to save face.

Moreover, since they had the moral high ground, they naturally wouldn't hold back against Ning Fan, who stood up to them.

After understanding the truth, Ning Fan said speechlessly, "If you want to see me get beaten, you're really overthinking."

Soon, a lawyer from the Xu Corporation's legal department came to bail Ning Fan out.

"Bail these people out too and negotiate the compensation issues."

After saying this, Ning Fan left.

To put it in perspective, these six individuals were also caught in an unexpected disaster and were used by Rose as her henchmen.

The lawyer seemed to have received instructions and didn't object.

Just as he stepped out of the police station, Xu Ruolan's call came through.

Ning Fan didn't disclose the truth; if Xu Ruolan knew the real story, she would certainly be unhappy with Rose, which could affect further collaborations.

"As a man, it's alright to suffer a little for your family's sake."

Ning Fan smiled faintly, and then his gaze turned cold.

If Rose continued to be unreasonable and kept using these laughable schemes, he wouldn't mind giving her a good lesson.

After hanging up the call, Ning Fan felt even worse, finally realizing he had overlooked an issue.

Since he was protecting Rose, for the next ten days, Ning Fan would need to be on guard day and night, never leaving her side.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to this job."

But because of Xu Ruolan's gentle plea, Ning Fan had no choice but to head to the Junyue Hotel.

Upon meeting, Xu Xiaoqing said apologetically, "Ning Fan, I'm sorry, I..."

In some sense, what happened earlier was akin to abandonment.

Ning Fan smiled, "You're overthinking. How could I blame you?"

He knew that Xu Xiaoqing wasn't someone who was heartless.

If it were a different matter, Xu Xiaoqing would certainly stand by him through life and death.

But this matter was too trivial to even bother about.

"Xiaoqing, there's nothing to apologize for. Isn't it the bodyguard's duty? Otherwise, why hire them?"

Rose said blandly, while her strange blue eyes kept sizing up Ning Fan,

Upon seeing Ning Fan unscathed, a faint disappointment flashed across Rose's face.

"Manager Ning's skills are quite impressive!"

Ning Fan responded coolly, "I think Miss Rose's skills aren't bad either."

Rose laughed somewhat nervously, "What Manager Ning said, I don't quite understand?"

"Forget it if you don't understand."

Ning Fan shrugged and directly asked, "Where am I sleeping tonight?"

"It's all set; it's in the suite next door."

While saying this, the blush on Xu Xiaoqing's face spread rapidly, reaching the roots of her ears.

Ning Fan grinned, certain images coming to mind.

"Xiaoqing, stay with me today, we haven't had a chat in ages."

"Ah!"

Xu Xiaoqing looked at Rose in disbelief, wondering when they ever had a proper conversation.

If she hadn't seen Rose cry today, she would've started making sarcastic remarks already.

"But... I'm used to sleeping alone."

Xu Xiaoqing's face grew redder, almost to the point of dripping blood.

"No worries, I have plenty of rooms. Choose whichever you like, I can even give you my bedroom."

"How can I impose?"

"There's no need to be embarrassed. Keep me company watching TV."

With that, Rose glanced at Ning Fan, "Why are you still standing here?"

"Damn it..."

In Xu Xiaoqing's resentful gaze, Ning Fan grudgingly left the room.

"Why is this woman so annoying? I'm really cursed to have run into her."

Ning Fan left the room with a dark expression, enough to deter William from greeting him; he still wanted to know what happened today.

"This woman is trouble; I must get away from her soon."

In the following days, Rose stopped coming up with trouble,

acting like a regular tourist, enjoying Zhonghai's culture and dining on regional delicacies.

Even so, Ning Fan was very displeased.

Not only was he unable to return home, even Xu Xiaoqing was now occupied.

With Rose's cunning mind, Xu Xiaoqing was no match for her. Under her deliberate prodding,

even Xu Xiaoqing herself didn't realize that she hadn't had a proper conversation with Ning Fan for several days.

Shopping, eating, sleeping... even going to the restroom, the two women stuck together.

"Just a few more days. In five days, this woman can leave."

Ning Fan counted down the days one by one.

That night, as Ning Fan lay sleeping, he was startled awake by the sound of the door opening,

"Could it be Xiaoqing sneaking over? She truly is the considerate sister-in-law."

Filled with joy, when he saw the visitor, Ning Fan's face fell, his handsome features turned immediately to an alarming shade of dark.

Even darker was the visitor's face; except for the two eyes, the entire figure seemed to meld into the darkness.

"Sang Gan, what are you doing in my room?"

The intruder was indeed a member of the bodyguard team; witnessing the large black man in front of him, Ning Fan's stare turned cold, emanating an aura of threat.

In the dead of night, a black man enters his room, bearing a lewd smile.

Seeing this, Ning Fan dared not fathom his intentions, only held onto thoughts of self-defense.

"So cold!"

The sudden chill caused Sang Gan to shiver; he then spoke with a tongue-tied accent, "Boss wants to see you."

"Your boss? Rose! What's she want with me?"

"No idea. Boss is waiting for you outside. Too cold, I'm heading out."

"I should see what tricks you're up to. Surely can't be trying to seduce me!"

Ning Fan chuckled dismissively, with skills and courage so high, he feared none of these petty plots.

Upon leaving the room and witnessing the scene before him, Ning Fan brazenly teased, "Miss Rose, meeting me in the dead of night,"

Aside from Rose, William, and a few guards, everyone else was absent.

Since Xu Xiaoqing wasn't around, he was free to speak his mind.

Just as Rose vexed Ning Fan, he felt much the same towards her.

With deep aversion, Rose cast Ning Fan a glance, then coldly spoke, "Enough of small talk. With no outsiders here, I want to make a deal with you."

"What a bizarre deal!"

Ning Fan crossed his arms, surprised, "I perform but don't sell myself."

"Don't play dumb here. If you're a man, follow me."
