Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 13: Am I Not Pretty Enough?

Evening, Golden Lake Villa community.

Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the carpet of the villa living room, his eyes tightly closed.

At this moment, he was flipping through the vast memories inherited from the Jiuyou Immortal Emperor.

He wanted to figure out why he was losing control every time he got close to Su Qingyan.

"Last night, the moment I touched Miss Su, a crazy impulse to take her down erupted in my mind—it was almost instinctual. There must be something about Miss Su that draws me in."

After searching for a while, Chen Fan opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"One possibility I can surmise is that Miss Su has a special physique that triggers my deepest desires whenever I touch her. That night, it must have been unintended contact with Miss Su that led to the incident."

"However, even if Miss Su does have a unique physique, it shouldn’t be that any random person who touches her would go mad. It seems to only happen when I touch Miss Su."

"Could it be... my physique is also special?"

Chen Fan lowered his head to examine his body, but he didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary.

"The memories of the Jiuyou Immortal Emperor are vast and boundless; it’s impossible to figure out what’s going on right away. I’ll have to investigate this slowly."

Standing up and stretching, Chen Fan decided not to dwell on the issue any longer and prepared to wash up and rest.

Just then, his phone vibrated twice.

Picking it up, he saw it was a text message from Su Jinyun.

"Little brother, have you gone to bed yet?"

The message was followed by a selfie from Su Jinyun.

She wore a silk nightgown, her pose lazy and seductive, curves tempting. Her fair and tender thighs were exposed to the air, making anyone who saw it feel their blood heat up.

Chen Fan stared at Su Jinyun’s selfie and swallowed, then replied, "Not yet."

No sooner had he sent the message than Su Jinyun’s call came through.

"If you can’t sleep, why not come see me? I haven’t thanked you yet for treating Keke," Su Jinyun’s lazy, seductive voice sounded.

Chen Fan answered, "Sister, helping Keke was really nothing for me, no need for any reward. Please don’t joke with me."

"I’m not joking, I’m serious. Keke wants you to be her dad," Su Jinyan said teasingly.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister, please don’t be like this."

"What’s wrong? Am I not pretty enough, or is it that you already have someone you like?"

Chen Fan fell silent; for some reason, at the mention of this question, the image of Su Qingyan surfaced in his mind.

"Looks like I guessed right," Su Jinyun chuckled over the phone, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Do you have time this weekend? I’d like to treat you to a meal."

Chen Fan remembered that the weekend was Old Lady Qin’s birthday celebration and replied, "I can’t this weekend, I already have plans."

"Hmm... oh, right, I think I have plans this weekend too, almost forgot I agreed to help someone with something. Let’s do it another day," Su Jinyun spoke as if she had just remembered.

"Okay," Chen Fan agreed.

"Then... I’ll call you again later, but if you can’t sleep, I could be in your bed right now," Su Jinyun’s voice turned unserious again.

Chen Fan coughed lightly, "Sister, it’s getting late, let’s get some rest. Good night."

Having said that, he quickly hung up the phone.

"What a bad woman," Chen Fan evaluated Su Jinyun.

...

At the Qin Lan family villa.

Qin Lan was figuring out how to pique Sun Jiancheng’s interest.

Just then, Zhang Wanfang came running over, bursting with excitement, "Daughter, I have great news!"

Startled, Qin Lan quickly got off Sun Jiancheng and frowned, "Mom, can you not be so startling next time?"

Zhang Wanfang, still excited, said, "But I have great news to tell you. The No.1 Lady of the Su Family has agreed to come to the old lady’s birthday banquet!"

Qin Lan’s eyes widened, "The No.1 Lady of the Su Family is coming to Grandma’s birthday banquet? Hasn’t she always disregarded our Qin family’s invitations before?"

Zhang Wanfang’s gaze fell on Sun Jiancheng, "That was before. Jiancheng, the lady must have agreed to come because of you, right?"

Sun Jiancheng looked confused, not sure what was happening but nodded regardless, "Prob... probably."

"That’s more like it, Sun Jiancheng’s company has a collaboration with Miss Su’s company, and Miss Su agreed to attend Old Lady Qin’s birthday banquet in order to maintain this partnership. Now not only Old Lady Qin but all members of the Qin family are praising the two of you. My girl, it was really wise of you to ditch Chen Fan for Sun Jiancheng," Zhang Wanfang laughed, her mouth unable to close from joy.

Qin Lan also turned her head to look at Sun Jiancheng, "Dear, did you specifically invite Miss Su here to make me look good in front of Grandma?"

Sun Jiancheng coughed lightly and waved his hand, "It’s nothing."

Although he could not understand why Miss Su had agreed to attend Old Lady Qin’s birthday banquet, currently in the entire Qin family, the only one who had any connection with Miss Su was him.

So it was very likely because of him.

Could it be that Miss Su saw potential in me and came to forge a good relationship on purpose? Sun Jiancheng thought secretly, his heart swelling with pride.

Qin Lan, moved, hugged Sun Jiancheng and kissed him, "Dear, you’re ten thousand times better than that loser Chen Fan."

Sun Jiancheng sneered, "That loser has no right to even be compared with me!"

"Exactly, you’re the dragon among humans, while Chen Fan is nothing but trash," Qin Lan threw herself into Sun Jiancheng’s arms.

Sun Jiancheng’s chest swelled with soaring ambition, "Chen Fan, even Miss Su thinks highly of me, what right do you have to compete with me!"

"Just you wait, I’ll make sure you know what regret tastes like!"

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the weekend arrives.

On this day, the Qin family’s old residence was festooned with decorations, a scene of great festivity.

In the main courtyard were over a dozen tables where many members of the Qin family were already seated.

There was also a projector in the yard, playing a compilation of birthday wishes from people who couldn’t come to the banquet for Old Lady Qin.

Qin Lan and Sun Jiancheng sat together, with Zhang Wanfang beside them.

The surrounding Qin family members all cast envious glances at the trio.

"Dear, can we really bring down that guy Chen Fan and ruin his reputation today?" Qin Lan looked at Sun Jiancheng.

Sun Jiancheng sneered, "Don’t worry, everything has been arranged perfectly. No.1 Lady is also here, as long as you do as I say, Chen Fan will definitely have no chance of turning the tables today!"

Qin Lan showed an expectant smile, "Dear, you are amazing!"

Sun Jiancheng’s expression stiffened as if he was somewhat resistant to Qin Lan’s praise.

At that moment, Chen Fan’s figure appeared in the courtyard.

Qin Lan’s face darkened, "That loser has arrived."

Just then, Old Lady Qin also arrived, supported by several people.

The Qin family members all took their seats, and the yard quieted down.

Old Lady Qin sat down in the seat of honor, swept her gaze over everyone and said, "If everyone is here, let’s begin the birthday banquet."

At this time, she noticed a lot of melon seed shells under her feet and turned to Chen Fan, "What are you standing there for, come here and sweep under my feet, you don’t have the slightest bit of common sense."

Chen Fan stepped forward, "Old Lady Qin, I am not a servant of your Qin family, I cannot do this task."

"Today, I am here to divorce Qin Lan!"

Old Lady Qin slammed her hand on the table, "What did you say! You actually want to divorce Qin Lan?"

"Indeed," Chen Fan said firmly.

The Qin family members were all shocked, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"Has this guy’s brain got water in it? He actually wants a divorce, can he live without the Qin family?"

"What a joke, without the Qin family he would probably have long been begging on the streets, and now he even dares to bring up divorce."

...

Old Lady Qin’s face was filled with anger, "What’s the reason?"

Sun Jiancheng gave Qin Lan a look, and she nodded, getting up and walking over to Old Lady Qin.

When Chen Fan saw Qin Lan walking over, he said indifferently, "You explain to Grandma."

Qin Lan cast a resentful glance at Chen Fan, then threw herself at Old Lady Qin’s feet and burst into tears, "Grandma, you must stand up for your granddaughter, I followed Grandfather’s will and married Chen Fan, and for three years I have been diligent and hardworking, never complaining, and never made a mistake."

"But this guy Chen Fan has been fooling around with other women behind my back, your granddaughter’s life is so hard!"
