With those words, Bufan quickly untied the ropes binding Xinying.

"You're the real tomcat!"

Xinying wiped away the tears on her pretty face, immediately hugged Bufan tightly, without a care for her hands, which had been bound for too long and had gone numb and sore. She said, profoundly moved, "I thought you, you bastard, didn't dare to come! If that scum had touched me, I'd like to see how you'd explain it to my cousin!"

Feeling the soft and tender heartbeat of Xinying against him, Bufan couldn't help but give a wry smile, and took her in his arms. He patted her back, comforting her, "Don't worry, no one can lay a finger on my woman!"

"Your woman? Who's your woman!"

Xinying quickly let go, wiped her tears, and took an embarrassed glance at Bufan, her face turning rosy as she spoke.

"You've just promised me that!"

Bufan looked at her with amusement and said with a mischievous smile.

Seeing Xinying's face turn even redder, he found it quite adorable.

"I... I didn't promise anything, you bastard!"

Xinying pretended to know nothing, turned her head away, and didn't dare to look at him directly.

"You've just verbally promised me!"

Bufan smiled handsomely and said.

Hearing this, Xinying's cheeks flushed, she stamped her foot and complained, "That was a special circumstance. You clearly tricked me on purpose, and you still have the nerve to mention it!"

"How could I not mention it? I didn't force you!"

Bufan laughed and said, "Just now, a certain cutie promised me voluntarily!"

"You..."

Xinying immediately looked annoyed, her eyes as wide and cute as a goldfish's, and she bit her lip, huffing, "What you just said was about the next lifetime, meaning it's impossible for this life! Humph... why don't you go knock yourself dead right now, reincarnate, and then maybe we'll have a chance encounter!"

"Come on! You brat, you're even more shameless than I am!"

Bufan gave a wry smile and retorted disdainfully.

"Hmph! You bastard, I'm not stooping to your level. Thank you very much for just now!"

Then, Xinying looked at Bufan with much gratitude but tiptoed, her face as red as a ripe apple, her rosy lips lightly pecked Bufan's cheek.

Pop!

As the soft and fragrant kiss came, Bufan was somewhat stunned on the spot, touching his cheek, feeling extremely happy.

Feeling the fragrance and the lingering scent on his cheek, Bufan's face was filled with happiness and sweetness.

"This girl actually kissed me? And she initiated it?"

Bufan could hardly believe it, even thinking he was dreaming.

Although Xinying had kissed him before, unlike the last time, this time she did it voluntarily and actively.

The feeling was completely different, a feeling of extreme happiness.

Even though Bufan usually prided himself on having thick skin, he couldn't help blushing at this moment.

"Ha ha! You bastard, you're blushing!"

Xinying giggled and laughingly said, "I didn't expect you, you bastard, could blush. But you look quite adorable when you do!"

Especially since Bufan looked slightly shy, Xinying couldn't help but tease him. This bastard was actually pretty cute when not being a hooligan.

"Do you know what you look like right now?"

Bufan chuckled and asked.

"Look like what?"

Xinying blinked her lovely eyes.

"Now, you look like a she-wolf!"

Bufan smirked and said.

"You! Bufan, how dare you call me a she-wolf!"

Xinying instantly became indignant, hands on her hips, speechless. Then, clenching her fist, she huffily chased after Bufan.

The two of them chased one after the other, leaving the villa area.

When they got outside, Bufan returned to the villa area to destroy all the surveillance devices.

Bufan then made a phone call, and as soon as it connected, he said, "Hello, Xia Shanlong, is that you?"

"It's me, Brother Yang, do you have orders for me this late?"

Xia Shanlong on the other end spoke with great respect.

"Yeah! Come over with your boys right now. You know who Hong Jiu is, right? Now, all his stuff belongs to you! Come over and take over his turf immediately!"

Bufan spoke without any nonsense, getting straight to the point.

"What?"

When Xia Shanlong heard this news, he thought he must have heard wrong, "Brother Yang, is that true? You're telling me to take over Hong Jiu's turf?"

"Yes, hurry up and send someone over! If it's too late, it might be taken over by other gangs! Be quick!"

After making his statement, Zhu Bufan hung up the phone directly.

This Xia Shanlong was the very one Zhu Bufan had encountered on his first visit to the bar and whom he had once saved abroad. Hence, when Bufan called, Xia Shanlong was elated and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately took his followers and rushed to Hong Jiu's territory.

Now, Zhu Bufan was planning to establish his own force in Qingyang City.

However, Zhu Bufan did not intend to become a criminal force like Hong Jiu.

Zhu Bufan's plan was to let Xia Shanlong recruit some followers first, and then establish a completely different kind of force that could deal with both the righteous path and the underground forces.

When Zhu Bufan came out again, Jiang Xinying had already taken a seat in the car.

"Bufan, can you tell me how you found me?"

Jiang Xinying had thought about this question for a long time, but was still puzzled.

When she was trapped by Mo Yang and brought here, she had no idea where she had been taken, and Zhu Bufan hadn't been by her side at the time. How did he find her?

This curiosity lingered in Jiang Xinying's mind.

"By feeling!" replied Bufan with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Feeling? What kind of feeling?" asked Jiang Xinying, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't you know there's a saying called 'a meeting of hearts'? You're my wife, our hearts are connected!" Bufan replied with a sly smile, rather conceitedly.

"You! You shameless jerk!" exclaimed Jiang Xinying, her face turning red as she lowered her head and started punching Bufan's chest in a frenzy.

Bufan didn't avoid her punches at all and finally said after a while, "I was just joking with you just now. You actually believed me. Do you really want to be my wife?"

"Absolutely not! Ah!" As Jiang Xinying just finished her response, she suddenly let out a scream, clutching her ankle with her hand, her expression writhing in pain.

"What's wrong?" asked Bufan, concerned.

"I... I accidentally twisted my foot!" Clutching her ankle, Jiang Xinying's face showed an ugly and painful expression, "It hurts so much!"

"Don't move around!"

Zhu Bufan hurriedly opened the car door, went to where Jiang Xinying was, opened the door carefully, looked over and said, "You must have accidentally twisted it just now!"

"It's all because of you, you mix—" Before she finished her sentence, Jiang Xinying winced in pain and bit her lip, looking somewhat resentfully at Zhu Bufan.

"Alright, stop moving, I'll rub it for you!" interrupted Bufan, gently grabbing her ankle.

Then, Bufan gently massaged Jiang Xinying's delicate ankle.

Seeing Bufan so serious, so warm, so affectionate, and so careful, Jiang Xinying couldn't help but feel her cheeks blush as she subtly turned her head away.

She had never let a guy touch her ankle from childhood to adulthood, and she couldn't help feeling shy.

Bufan knew that a woman's ankle is fragile and should not be handled too roughly.

So, Bufan's touch was soft and gentle.

While holding Jiang Xinying's delicate foot in his hand, Bufan couldn't help being somewhat entranced.

Jiang Xinying's foot was beautiful, like a crystal-clear lychee, shining with a crystal smoothness, while her snow-like skin was tender and smooth.

However, Bufan didn't dwell on any messy thoughts and focused on massaging her ankle.

Seeing Bufan's tenderness and attentiveness, Jiang Xinying became lost in thought. At this moment, Bufan seemed very warm and very charming as a man.

"Uh..." A slight pain from her ankle made Jiang Xinying involuntarily moan.

Her beautiful face turned even redder with this intimate contact, the first of its kind for her.

Zhu Bufan's massage skills and techniques were very special and precise. Although Bufan never learned professional massage, he was very accurate in locating acupoints on the human body.

Thus, his massage was highly effective, even more so than some professional masseurs.

Bufan's massage was gentle, making Jiang Xinying feel comfortable without a hint of discomfort.

Moreover, the pain she initially felt was gone, only present during the very first moments of Bufan's massage.

"How does it feel now? Is it much better?" Bufan asked with concern, lifting his head slightly.

When Bufan looked up, he saw Jiang Xinying's beautiful eyes fixated on him, as if she was mesmerized and entranced.
