Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 441 Su Qingyan’s Crisis

The next morning.

When Chen Fan awoke, he found that Su Qingyan was still deeply asleep.

Her breath was light, like a baby’s, and the more he watched, the more he liked her.

At that moment, an idea popped into his head, "What is Qingyan thinking about while she sleeps?"

He then took out the golden paper and gently placed it in Su Qingyan’s hand.

Soon, lines of text began to appear on the golden paper.

"I’m so hungry, I want to eat steamed lamb, steamed bear’s paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted gosling, marinated pork, marinated duck, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, pine flower, tripe, air-dried meat, sausages, assorted Su dishes, and smoked chicken with white belly..."

Chen Fan almost burst out laughing when he read this, thinking to himself, you’re asleep and yet you’re reciting a menu, you really are a little foodie.

He continued to read.

"Chen Fan, I want to kiss..."

"Your muscles are like chocolate, they look so tasty..."

"Don’t talk, kiss me..."

Chen Fan’s expression turned odd as he thought, she must be dreaming of something naughty.

Soon, the writing on the golden paper changed again.

"I’m so scared, I feel like something is coming for me, are they going to take me away?"

"I don’t want to, if I go what will become of Chen Fan, I want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"Let me go, I don’t want to become the Holy Maiden, you’ve got the wrong person, I just want to stay by Chen Fan’s side for my whole life!"

...

As he read these words, Chen Fan’s brow furrowed.

"Is she having a nightmare or has she put herself into the plot of the TV dramas she usually watches?"

At this moment, Su Qingyan showed signs of waking up.

Chen Fan quickly stowed away the golden paper.

Su Qingyan opened her eyes in a daze and seeing Chen Fan staring at her, she held out her arms, "Hug."

Chen Fan embraced her, smiling, "You must be hungry. I’ll go check if Mrs. Jiang has made breakfast yet."

Suddenly, Su Qingyan let out a mischievous smile, pushed Chen Fan down onto the bed, and said, "I don’t want breakfast, I want something else."

Chen Fan, puzzled, asked, "Something else like what?"

Su Qingyan chuckled, "Eat... hehehe..."

Then she slid downward.

Chen Fan’s eyes widened, thinking to himself that she really had been having that kind of dream!

He didn’t resist, humbly awaiting the fate’s arrangement for him.

After a battle, they both took a bath and after cleaning up, sat down at the dining table with Jiang Qing’s family.

Chen Fan spoke up, "We’ve had a great time in town these days, and we’re thankful for the care of Jiang’s family. We’ve now visited all the places in town that we wanted to, so we plan to leave tomorrow."

On hearing this, the three members of the Jiang Chunhua family showed unmistakable reluctance on their faces.

But they understood that Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were just visiting and couldn’t stay long, so they didn’t press them to stay further.

Chen Fan asked about the rates for the guesthouse, but Jiang Chunhua adamantly refused to take any money from him, saying that if Chen Fan insisted on paying, it would be an insult to their family.

After all, without Chen Fan, their family would have been driven out of Qingyang Town a long time ago, not to mention that Jiang Chunhua was now the director of the guesthouse management office. They didn’t know how they could ever repay such a big favor.

Seeing the firm stance of Jiang Chunhua’s family, Chen Fan eventually gave up the idea of paying.

After breakfast, Chen Fan received a call from Zhang Baifa.

"Mr. Chen, you and your girlfriend have been in town for so long, and I have never been able to find the time to host you both properly, which is entirely my neglect. Today I happen to be free, and I plan to hold a feast tonight to properly treat Mr. Chen and your girlfriend. Would you be available tonight?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and replied, "Sure."

Zhang Baifa immediately became excited, "That’s wonderful! I have a house in town where we’ll host the dinner. I will send someone to pick you two up when it’s time."

Chen Fan said, "No need, just tell me the address, and we’ll go there ourselves."

Zhang Baifa had no choice but to give Chen Fan the address of his house.

At that moment, Jiang Qing approached Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, saying, "Brother, Sister, since you’re leaving tomorrow, let me take you around town one more time today. There’s a lot of delicious food in town that I want to share with you."

Su Qingyan quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, that would be great."

The three of them left the house together.

At that point, Su Qingyan turned to Chen Fan and said, "An Lan is asking where we are, she wants to come find us."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe... it’s better not to hang out with her."

After what had happened the previous night, he had no desire to see An Lan again.

Jiang Qing looked puzzled, "Why? I was even thinking about asking Sister An Lan about fashion design today since I want to go into this field when I get to university."

Su Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, since Jiang Qing still wants to consult her, let’s invite her over."

Although she already knew that An Lan wanted to steal her man, logically she should keep her distance, but if she really started avoiding An Lan, it would seem as if she herself had become timid.

She had absolute confidence in Chen Fan and in herself, so she was not afraid of An Lan coming over to steal him.

She should display this kind of confidence to make An Lan realize that Chen Fan couldn’t be taken away by anyone else.

So she told An Lan where they would be.

Chen Fan was somewhat helpless, but since it was only for the last day today, and after leaving Qingyang Town tomorrow, they would probably never encounter An Lan again in their lives, he didn’t feel too troubled about it.

The three of them arrived at a milk tea shop in town; An Lan was already waiting there, dressed in a cool mini skirt, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, looking very charming.

She walked over to Chen Fan and the others with a smile, naturally linking her arm with Su Qingyan’s.

Su Qingyan also greeted An Lan with a smile as if nothing was wrong, still acting like good sisters, with no issues apparent.

Chen Fan originally thought there would be some conflict when the two women met, something sharp and confrontational, but he didn’t expect them to talk so harmoniously; it truly baffled him to understand the thought processes of women.

If it were Chen Fan, seeing a love rival without giving them a cold look would already count as courteous.

"It seems that what they say online about ’plastic sisterhood’ isn’t unfounded — women are indeed mysterious creatures," Chen Fan mused inwardly.

Since the two of them were able to maintain a calm outward appearance towards each other, he didn’t need to worry about any unpleasantness occurring today. As long as today passed smoothly, there wouldn’t be any concerns afterward.

Out of the four, only Jiang Qing still believed their relationship was as close as yesterday, like brothers and sisters.

Jiang Qing went to buy four cups of milk tea, and they sat under the sun umbrella to chat.

At that moment, Jiang Qing stood up and said, "Not far from here, there is a dessert shop that is really good, but it’s a bit hidden in an alley, so few tourists in town know about it. You guys wait here; I’ll go buy some to bring back."

After saying that, she got up and walked towards the dessert place.

Only Chen Fan, Su Qingyan, and An Lan were left at the table, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

Although all three had smiles on their faces, there was a palpable undertow of tension around them.

"If I took out the golden paper now, I would be able to know what the two of them are thinking."

"From the look on An Lan’s face, she probably already guessed that I told Qingyan about her, but she doesn’t seem to mind. She didn’t deliberately bring up last night’s incident either, which shows she’s a calm person."

"Qingyan seems pretty confident, but she seemed to deliberately stick out her chest. I think Qingyan’s figure is quite good too, better than most, only modest compared to An Lan by a slight margin."

"What am I thinking about? This feeling is really torture; I hope today ends quickly."

...

Chen Fan didn’t want to continue with these wild thoughts, so he bowed his head and started sipping his milk tea on his own.

Su Qingyan and An Lan chatted very naturally, engaging in the sort of subtle combat that only women can.

After a while.

"Didn’t Jiang Qing say the dessert shop was quite close? Why hasn’t she come back after so long?" An Lan asked.

Chen Fan looked at the time and indeed, Jiang Qing had been gone for quite a while.

He was about to stand up and go look for Jiang Qing.

Just then, Jiang Qing walked back.

However, her face no longer bore the cheerfulness from before. Instead, she had a dejected look, her eyes were red, and she wasn’t holding any desserts in her hands.

Seeing this, Chen Fan quickly went up to her and asked, "Jiang Qing, what happened to you?"

Jiang Qing shook her head, sat down at the table, and remained silent with her head lowered.

Su Qingyan quickly asked, "Jiang Qing, did someone bully you? Tell us what happened, and we’ll stand up for you."

Jiang Qing suddenly hugged Su Qingyan, crying, "Just now... just now in the alley, two jerks harassed me and blocked my way, saying they would strip off my clothes. I managed to run away, but if they had caught me, today... today I would’ve... wuuu..."

Su Qingyan immediately consoled her, "Don’t be scared, we are here, and nobody dares to bully you."

Chen Fan’s expression darkened as he said, "Where are those two guys? Take me there, I’m going to teach them a lesson."

...

In the alley, two sloppy-looking youths were squatting on the ground, smoking.

One of them said with a laugh, "Cousin, that chick just now was quite something. I wanted to touch her a bit more, but unfortunately she ran away."

The other replied, "I know that girl; she’s the daughter of someone who runs a guesthouse in town. For some reason, my uncle went nuts and made that guy the head of the guesthouse management. If you’re interested in that girl, I’ll take you to her later. Even if we mess with her, her family definitely won’t dare to say anything unless that guy doesn’t want to be the head anymore. In Qingyang Town, nobody dares to disrespect my father."

This person was Zhang Baifa’s son, Zhang Jiashuai.

The other was Zhang Baifa’s nephew, Ding Shuo.

Upon hearing Zhang Jiashuai’s words, Ding Shuo’s eyes lit up, "Really, cousin? I’ve never even touched a woman before, you’re going to show me what it’s like?"

Zhang Jiashuai slapped his chest, "Of course, why do you think our dad is the mayor? Plus, he told me that he’s going to entertain an important person tonight; his social circle is getting bigger, so after this, no one in town would dare to speak up against being bullied by me, and it’s just playing with a girl we’re talking about here. These kinds of girls pretend to be pure, but who knows how wild they might be outside, anybody could have them, she’s probably just not ready to let go yet."

Ding Shuo gave him a thumbs up, "You’ve really got it figured out, cousin!"

While the two were chatting away, four figures appeared at the mouth of the alley.
