Jiang Qin quickly declined: "Ah, this... how could I possibly accept..."
Si Fan replied nonchalantly, "Sure."
Jiang Qin instantly looked at Si Fan, her eyes wide with astonishment. How could this be something her daughter would say?!
Since when did her daughter become so rude to strangers?!
Judging by Mrs. Jiang's attitude towards this lady here, it was clear her status was not low.
How could they mingle with such people?
Jiang Qin immediately tried to remedy the situation, "Sorry, Mrs. Mu, my daughter just misspoke, we won't..."
Murong Xiang interrupted with a cheerful smile, "No problem, no problem, it's just a short ride anyway. Considering this chance meeting, it's great for us all to make friends."
"For example, your girl is almost the same age as my son; they could certainly hang out."
As Murong Xiang spoke, she inadvertently revealed her ulterior motives.
Jiang Qin was dumbfounded, "Ah?"
Si Fan raised an eyebrow.
Murong Xiang quickly explained, "Oops, sorry, I misspoke! I meant that since both of them are eligible, there's nothing wrong with becoming friends."
Jiang Qin: "..." This sounded odd, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Si Fan stayed silent, just casting a calm glance at Murong Xiang.
Mrs. Jiang got angry hearing Murong Xiang wanted her son to give a ride to the disreputable Jiang Qin and Si Fan.
Was Murong Xiang crazy or stupid?!
How could she have her son drive these two low-class people home?
What if they schemed to get attached to her son??
Don't they understand? Their daughters are all more outstanding than Si Fan.
And from Murong Xiang's words, she even intended for her son to be friends with Si Fan.
Insane!
Mrs. Jiang impatiently spoke up, "Mrs. Jun!"
Murong Xiang heard her, turned back to look at Mrs. Jiang, and asked, "What's wrong, Mrs. Jiang?"
Mrs. Jiang glared sternly at Jiang Qin and Si Fan, "Mrs. Jun, I advise you not to get too close with this mother and daughter duo. You may end up regretting it if they latch onto you!"
Murong Xiang's eyes showed a brief chill, but she smiled lightly, "Thank you for your warning, Mrs. Jiang. However, there aren't many people who can cling onto me. I just saw they were carrying quite a few items and wanted to offer a lift for kindness' sake, you know."
Mrs. Jiang was fuming, Murong Xiang should help anyone but this mother-daughter pair! Right after her negative words about them, Murong Xiang goes off making nice with them, blatantly slapping her face!
Mrs. Jiang wanted to say more, but Murong Xiang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, my son's car has arrived, no more talking now."
"Come, come, Mrs. Si, let me help you carry your bags!"
Preventing them from sneaking away, Murong Xiang took one of Jiang Qin's shopping bags by force.
"Hey, Mrs. Jun, don't, please don't..."
Jiang Qin tried to stop her, but couldn't, only worrying silently.
Right then, a black Cayenne slowly pulled into the curbside parking space.
All eyes were drawn to it.
Si Fan lifted her eyelids slightly and looked over.
The black Cayenne parked less than five meters away from her.
The car's window slowly rolled down.
Wind blew in along with light, swaying the mysterious black silhouette within the car, creating an illusion.
The man resting one hand on the steering wheel, the black gloves snugly fitting his long fingers, distinctly showing his joint and bone structure, sleek and strong, aesthetically pleasing yet not ostentatious.
Moving upwards, half his face was shrouded in shadow.
Chiseled features, sharp lines, captivatingly attractive yet elusive, making one catch their breath.
He seemed to notice her gaze.
His face turned sideways, ebony eyes meeting her cool gaze, paused for a moment.
He appeared somewhat surprised.
But then saw Murong Xiang beside Si Fan, all surprise vanished immediately.
Clearly, he was being setup by his mother.
Jun Yan continued to gaze at the girl's bright and delicate brows, arching slightly.
Indeed, the world is small.
Small enough to bump into the same person twice in a day.
Si Fan's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing him as the handsome man she couldn't tackle before.
Her gaze lingered on him, well, he had quite the looks, no wonder she'd lost her mind that day.
At the same time, Mrs. Jiang and the several ladies caught sight of Jun Yan's overly boastful handsome face, instantly clutching their racing hearts.
That dazzling face stirred the spring heart of all these young women.
If they managed to bring him home as a son-in-law, they'd be able to feast their eyes alongside their daughters every day!
Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold back her excitement and asked, "Mrs. Jun, does your son have a girlfriend?"
Murong Xiang noticed Jun Yan staring directly at Si Fan, she was ecstatic inside, so she replied without thinking, "Almost."
Mrs. Jiang's expression froze instantly.
Almost, what did that mean?!
But Murong Xiang ignored whatever was on Mrs. Jiang's mind, and with a turn, eagerly urged Jiang Qin and Si Fan to get in the car.
Jiang Qin quietly declined, "No need, I live pretty close, I don't need a ride."
Murong Xiang became even more sincere, "Oh, it's no trouble, just a few minutes."
After hesitating, she turned back to Jun Yan and said, "Son, hurry and come help Miss Si with her stuff!"
Si Fan glanced at Jun Yan again.
Unsurprisingly, their gazes met once more.
The man's deep eyes were unfathomable, carrying a hint of indescribable allure.
As if effortlessly, it could draw people in.
Si Fan unconcernedly raised an eyebrow, staying silent.
Jun Yan's mouth curved slightly, sleek fingers casually adjusting his elegant cuff link, then he opened the door, stepped out with long legs, and walked towards her unhurriedly.
The closer he came, the clearer that face became in her eyes.
Defined features, sharp brow bones, deep eye sockets, every part flawless.
In a blink, an almost 1.9-meter-tall silhouette loomed, making Si Fan seem extremely petite.
Using his height advantage, Jun Yan gazed down at Si Fan.
A strikingly beautiful face, eyebrows bold and defiant, captivating every man's heart.
Just a bit slender, especially the waist cinched tight in black pants, thin enough to snap at a touch.
Si Fan let him scrutinize, gently curled her lips, "Hello, nice to see you again, Mr. Jun."
She spoke coolly.
No sign of acknowledging a savior.
Jun Yan casually put a hand in his pocket and chuckled, "Hello, Miss Si."
The title 'Miss Si' held no surprise for Si Fan.
Almost as if she knew he had figured her out.
This stunned Jiang Qin, "You know each other?!"
