Chapter 75 Declaring Sovereignty
Zhu Fan lowered his car window, meeting Wang Aohan's scrutinizing gaze.
When Wang Aohan saw Fang Qizhou and the girl holding hands, a fleeting sadness crossed her eyes. She then crossed her arms, her peach blossom eyes sharp as knives. Sometimes, the contest between girls doesn't need words; their aura alone can determine the winner.
Zhu Fan smiled slightly, raised her hand to tuck a strand of long hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her ear, and said in a soft but clear voice, "You have good taste. However, he is taken now."
When the girl smiled, her eyes sparkled, like distant mountains after a rainstorm, both serene and gentle. Every word she spoke carried undeniable weight.
Wang Aohan couldn't understand what was so special about the girl sitting in Fang Qizhou's passenger seat that, besides her excessively beautiful face, could make someone as unruly and rebellious as him fall for her.
Throughout the entire process, Fang Qizhou's gaze remained fixed solely on her.
It must be admitted that Zhu Fan's beauty possesses a stunning, ethereal quality, like a fragile, delicate beauty. Like the pristine snow atop a mountain peak, her purity is unforgettable.
But she looked too obedient and too weak.
Wang Aohan narrowed his eyes, a sudden surge of competitive spirit rising within him: "Do you know how to drive?"
Upon hearing Zhu Fan softly reply "No," the onlookers were filled with disappointment.
Disappointment also flashed across Wang Aohan's eyes.
She wanted to use her driving skills, which she was very proud of, to compete against Zhu Fansai.
Her plan fell through, and she felt like she had punched a cotton ball.
Zhu Fan remained calm, showing no sign of retreat or fear.
Wang Aohan stopped looking at Zhu Fan and turned to Fang Qizhou, his tone deliberately familiar as he chuckled softly, "How did you end up with such an obedient one?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Qizhou glanced at her coldly, then took Zhu Fan's hand, gently kissed it, and said in a deep, cold voice, "I like her just the way she is."
One sentence, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
It is an undisguised favoritism, and an unyielding protection of its own.
Wang Aohan pursed her lips tightly, and under Fang Qizhou's dark and cold gaze, she finally stepped aside to make way.
Wen Yuxing drove his car, eagerly following his brother Zhou's car.
Seeing Wang Aohan's eyes were blurred by sand in the rearview mirror, he cheekily stepped on the gas and pulled up in front of her, handing her a pack of tissues.
You're welcome.
Wang Aohan angrily threw the tissue in his hand at the back of Wen Yuxing's car.
"Which eye of yours saw me cry? I fucking got sand in my eye."
The onlookers all nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, I saw sand blow into Sister Han's eyes with my own eyes."
"Where did this sand come from, so blind, trying to poison our Sister Han's eyes?"
"This sand is so inconsiderate."
Wang Aohan angrily took a few steps forward and kicked away the pack of tissues on the ground.
She slammed the car door shut, floored the accelerator, and sped all the way to the mountaintop.
-
Mountain top.
Zhu Fan helped A Yuan, who was carsick, out of the back seat.
Fang Qizhou unscrewed the mineral water bottle and handed it to Zhu Fan.
Zhu Fan handed the water to A Yuan and watched her drink about half a bottle.
Zhu Wan gripped the mineral water bottle tightly in her hand and hurriedly said that she was fine, just that her legs were a little weak.
She wasn't as dizzy anymore.
The mountain road has 22 sharp turns. Fang Qizhou initially stepped on the gas pedal hard, but after being reminded by Zhu Fan, he lost speed.
Drive the car smoothly.
Zhu Wan cursed herself for being so useless and dragging the team down.
Their car was originally at the front, but now they are the last to reach the top of the mountain.
Along the way, the laughter of those people who overtook her and rolled down their windows made Zhu Wan feel ashamed of her sister.
She clasped her hands together and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, it's my fault. I've embarrassed you."
Zhu Fan poked A Yuan's forehead. "What are you saying?"
Fang Qizhou remained nonchalant, seemingly unaffected. "I didn't know you get carsick. I'll be more careful next time."
Zhu Wan was somewhat flattered. "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Fang Qizhou hooked Zhu Fan's hand.
Zhu Fan glanced at Fang Qizhou and smiled as she reassured A Yuan, "You're not called brother-in-law for nothing."
She nudged Fang Qizhou with her arm, "Right?"
Fang Qizhou raised an eyebrow and hummed in agreement.
Zhu Fan took A Yuan's arm and followed Fang Qizhou into the mountaintop hot spring resort.

"Brother He, guess whose car we overtook today?"
A drawn-out, ambiguous voice, brimming with undisguised smugness, broke the languid, decadent atmosphere of the room.
Four young men sat casually around the mahjong table, cigarettes flickering between their fingers as they puffed out smoke.
Each man was accompanied by a female companion, dressed scantily, each with a unique style—
Sexy, wild, cute, innocent—like a luxury watch on a man's wrist, they silently reveal the owner's status and taste.
Wang He pulled the woman beside him onto his lap, his left hand playing cards while his right hand darted in and out of her clothes. The woman didn't flinch, her laughter sweet enough to drip honey. He took the cigarette she offered to his lips, his voice muffled: "If you overtake Fang Qizhou's car, then come and show off in front of me again."
Qiu Chen, who was playing opposite him, picked up a card and threw down a one of bamboo without even looking at it. "He has to spend time with his girlfriend today," he said, then curled his lip in disgust. "What a terrible hand. Dog Bai, let's switch seats in a bit."
Fang Qibai slowly played a card, not even bothering to lift his eyelids, "You have the worst card etiquette."
The girl, dressed in a pure and innocent style, sat next to Fang Qibai and obediently picked up the cigarette from his hand and lit it for him.
Qiu Chen wasn't annoyed by the insult and said with a smile, "You've been winning all afternoon, so this spot must have good feng shui."
The man who had initially started the conversation chuckled and raised his voice: "It really is Fang Qizhou's car!" He gestured excitedly, "This is the first time I've ever seen him drive like this—"
He couldn't find the right words for a moment.
Someone nearby immediately chimed in with a grin: "It drives like the kiddie ride in front of the convenience store at the entrance of my alley."
"Yes, yes, yes! The kind where you insert a coin and it says 'Dad's dad calls grandpa'..."
The noisy banter in the room came to an abrupt halt the moment Fang Qizhou pushed open the door and entered.
Fang Qizhou lifted his eyelids without any emotion.
The speaker abruptly changed the subject, a smile spreading across his face: "Brother Zhou, you brought your wife up here?"
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
The unanimous greetings made Zhu Fan pause slightly.
All the men and women in the room at this moment restrained their expressions, replacing them with either respectful or obsequious ones.
The four people at the mahjong table looked up at the same time.
The man Wang He had just attacked immediately stood up and eagerly offered his seat to Fang Qizhou.
Wang He pushed away the woman sitting on him.
The woman, dissatisfied, rubbed against him a few times.
Wang He stood up with a smile and called out to Zhu Fan, "Sister-in-law."
He glanced at his sister as she entered, her face ashen, and the smile on his lips faded slightly; he also felt a headache coming on.
Qiu Chen wanted to say something, but when his gaze fell on Zhu Wan beside Zhu Fan, he swallowed his words.
Zhu Fan coughed softly, choked by the swirling smoke in front of him.
When Zhu Wan came in, she didn't know where to look.
She had never seen or experienced anything like this before.
Her face flushed, and she lowered her head.
Yu Guangli and Fang Qibai remained casually leaning back in their chairs, a cigarette between their slender right fingers, while their left hand idly twirled a card, their expressions weary. Beside them, a beautiful girl stood quietly, like a silent backdrop.
