Pressing the answer button, Shen Wan didn’t immediately speak.

On the other end, there seemed to be a lot of patience, a standoff where neither side would speak until the other did, like a childish tug-of-war, where the first one to break the silence would lose.

After a while—

“Why, you can’t even say ‘hello’?”

Shen Wan smiled calmly, “Sixth Lord.”

“Good girl.”

“Look ahead.”

Shen Wan was slightly taken aback and instinctively turned her head. She saw a black Mercedes parked not far away. Quan Hanting was in the driver’s seat, holding a phone, his deep black eyes fixed on her.

Perhaps the sunlight had dazzled her, but Shen Wan actually saw the corners of the man’s lips lifted high.

Sixth Lord was imposing, dignified, high, and unattainable, naturally, his smile was shallow, light, and cold.

But in that split second just now, Shen Wan saw an outward, exuberant, and unrestrained joy.

“Why are you staring? Get in the car.”

In this short moment, the black Mercedes had glided to a stop beside her. Quan Hanting lowered the car window, revealing his handsome yet refined face.

Shen Wan opened the passenger door and got in.

Cool air rushed over her, refreshing every pore. It was truly a paradise compared to the steaming hot outdoors.

“Seatbelt.”

Shen Wan immediately fastened it and her eyes flickered. “What a coincidence, to meet here…”

“It’s not a coincidence.”

Quan Hanting gave her a meaningful look, “Did you not realize that I specially waited for you here?”

Confident and charming.

If it were any other girl, she might have blushed, her heart racing. But Shen Wan didn’t even bat an eye. She simply acknowledged with an “Oh,” and her expression remained calm. “Does Sixth Uncle has something to discuss with me?”

Quan Hanting’s mood at that moment was truly indescribable.

A mixture of frustration and disappointment, combined with desolation and bitterness.

All simplified into two words—

What a difficult girl!

She was young, but her heart was as hard as a rock. You couldn’t cook her, steam her, or soften her!

Despite the inner turmoil, his face betrayed nothing. Quan Hanting nodded. “Yes, I do.”

Shen Wan was about to ask, but he silenced her with a single sentence.

“We’ll talk when we get there.”

The car sped away, heading towards the outskirts.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at a place with iron gates. A building that resembled a traditional Chinese courtyard stood before them.

Shen Wan opened the door and stepped out of the car.

She couldn’t help but take a few more glances, finally confirming that this was Dongliu Mountain Villa—Quan Hanting’s stronghold.

The last time she came, it was already midnight. Although there were lights, she couldn’t get a full view of the place. Now, in the daylight, apart from her previous impression, there was an added sense of grandeur.

“Let’s go.” Quan Hanting reached out to hold her hand.

His movements were quick and precise, and Shen Wan didn’t have time to avoid it. She was caught off guard.

“What are you doing?”

“Holding your hand.”

“I don’t want you to.” Shen Wan tried to pull away a couple of times, but it didn’t work, and she couldn’t help but glare at him.

Quan Hanting was taken aback by her slightly chilly gaze. For a moment, his mind went completely blank, filled with confusion and an inexplicable sweetness.

He cleared his throat softly, pretending to be serious, “Don’t be difficult! It’s not like I haven’t held your hand before. Why are you acting so stubborn?” Shen Wan was shocked. Did she cause trouble? Was she being stubborn?”

Well, men…

Resistance was futile, and Shen Wan was led by Quan Hanting all the way inside.

His hand was large, with robust joints and a thin callus on the fingertips. A continuous warmth flowed from his palm to hers, almost scalding.

They ran into a stunned Chu Yujiang and Ling Yun head-on. Quan Hanting didn’t even glance in their direction and, with Shen Wan, walked straight ahead.

Chu Yujiang asked, “What’s going on?”

Ling Yun replied, “The Master is holding her hand.”

“Could they be together now?”

“It’s very likely.”

“There was no sign of this before, it’s not logical.”

“There was.” Does sleeping together count?

Meanwhile, Quan Hanting led Shen Wan straight through the living room and into a door, revealing a whole new world.

The spacious interior was filled with various types of exercise equipment, ranging from the most common treadmills, dumbbells, and punching bags, to those less commonly used like Western swords and plum blossom posts. There was even a dedicated boxing ring and fencing arena. It could be described as having everything from ancient to modern, Eastern to Western.

Shen Wan’s eyes lit up. This couldn’t be called a “gym” anymore; it should be called a “training room.”

Eighteen forms of martial arts, as long as you wished, could be trained here.

“How do you like it?” Quan Hanting leaned close to her ear, asking with a smile.

Shen Wan suddenly snapped back to reality, calmly creating some distance between them.. “Sixth Uncle, you didn’t bring me here just to ask for my evaluation of this place, did you?”
