As if in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived, and Fan Li found himself in a predicament. Two dates with two different women in one day? Thankfully, Xiang Ning's date was in the afternoon, while Han Yue's was scheduled for the evening, avoiding an immediate clash of romantic interests.
A rapid knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Fan Li, about to head out for his first date, opened the door to find Xiang Ning standing there.
"How did you know my address?" he asked, surprised.
Xiang Ning blushed slightly. "Mrs. Chen told me."
He hadn't expected her to come and pick him up.
As they descended the stairs, a silver stretch Rolls-Royce came into view, parked by the curb.
"We're taking this to the amusement park?" Fan Li asked, feeling a bit awkward.
It was a bit too flashy. Couldn't they be a little more low-key?
Xiang Ning shook her head. "The amusement park is quite far. We'll take this to the helipad and fly there in the family helicopter."
Fan Li was speechless. A helicopter too?
His limited experience with transportation due to his modest background had made him forget that there were also roads in the sky.
They boarded the helicopter and soared over half the city.
"Almost there," Xiang Ning said, pointing to the amusement park below, her face flushed with excitement and shyness.
Fan Li was taken aback. "We haven't bought tickets yet, have we?"
As they flew past the main entrance, Fan Li wondered, could they really get away with this? Skipping the ticket line with a helicopter?
When he spotted the helipad within the amusement park, he finally understood. This amusement park belonged to Xiang Ning's family.
"What should we play first?" Fan Li scanned the various rides, including a haunted house and a roller coaster. He was at least somewhat interested in the thrilling ones.
However, Xiang Ning, who had somehow taken his hand without him noticing, led him towards the carousel.
Fan Li: "???"
Something felt off, yet it didn't seem entirely wrong. Carousels were suitable for two types of people: children and couples. Xiang Ning seemed to fit both categories. So, was he on a date with a child?
After the carousel, they rode the spinning teacups and bumper cars.
"Why are we only doing kiddie rides?"
Fan Li felt a growing sense of despair. Thankfully, Xiang Ning finally decided to try an adult ride.
"Let's go on the Ferris wheel?"
Fan Li looked up at the Ferris wheel, said to be the largest in the country, slowly rotating at a snail's pace.
He nodded. At least they weren't doing children's rides anymore.
As they boarded the Ferris wheel, Fan Li noticed something strange. Despite them doing nothing in particular, Xiang Ning's face grew increasingly red. Her beautiful eyes seemed to glisten, and her pink lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something.
"Fan Li?"
"Hmm?"
"If we were together every day from now on, would you bully me?"
Fan Li wanted to say no, but he felt like he couldn't guarantee it.
Seeing his hesitation, Xiang Ning's lips drooped, and she looked as if she were about to cry.
"I'll try my best... not to bully you?" Fan Li said helplessly.
Xiang Ning's expression instantly brightened, as if she had learned the art of Sichuan opera face-changing.
"As long as you're good to me, all of the Xiang Corporation's assets, all of my wealth, will belong to you. Even I... I... belong to you too..." Xiang Ning's voice grew softer and softer, almost inaudible, but Fan Li could guess what she was saying.
There was such a good thing?
His blind date was a wealthy heiress, and she had fallen for him after just their second meeting?
From then on, he could lie flat, enjoying a life of wealth and leisure, accompanied by his beautiful wife?
"Maybe staying here forever wouldn't be so bad?" This thought suddenly popped into Fan Li's mind. Yet, he found it strange.
If not here, where else could he go?
As dusk approached, Fan Li excused himself, claiming he had other matters to attend to and could not stay any longer.
Although reluctant, Xiang Ning surprisingly obeyed and arranged for a car to take him back to the city center.
After asking the driver to stop at a random roadside location, Fan Li checked the time.
7:05 PM.
His date with Han Yue was at 7:30 PM, outside the N City Concert Hall.
He arrived ten minutes early, and shortly after, Han Yue appeared, dressed in a black evening gown. The black gauze dress accentuated her fair skin, making her look like a beautiful moon in the night sky.
"Can you appreciate opera?" Han Yue presented two tickets with a cold face.
Fan Li glanced at the tickets.
"Puccini?"
The ticket displayed a portrait of a foreigner and almost no Chinese characters.
Han Yue was surprised. "You recognize Puccini at a glance?"
"Giacomo Puccini, the composer of 'Turandot'?"
"The worst historical drama film from last year. I wasted 40 yuan on it."
"I was so angry that I researched everything about 'Turandot' online."
After listening to Fan Li's explanation, Han Yue stared at him blankly for a while before understanding what he meant.
She pursed her lips as if trying to suppress a smile, but the corners of her mouth still curved upwards slightly.
"If you don't like it, I can go alone."
Fan Li didn't believe her words. This woman was too tsundere, her words always contradicting her true feelings.
Although he had no interest in opera, he still lied. "It's a rare opportunity to appreciate high art. How could I miss it?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yue's eyes lit up, and her expression softened considerably.
"Let's go." She extended her hand.
Fan Li was momentarily confused, then realized she wanted him to take her hand.
They entered the concert hall and found their seats. As the audience filled in, Fan Li noticed that the seats around him and Han Yue remained empty. They were surrounded by vacant seats, creating a private box-like atmosphere.
The music began, and the opera singers took the stage.
Strangely, Fan Li, who normally never listened to Western opera, found himself gradually becoming immersed in the performance.
Especially with Han Yue by his side, he felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and happiness.
"Do you like it?" Her voice, as fragrant as orchids, brushed against his ear.
"...I like it..." Fan Li replied dreamily.
"If I were to accompany you like this from now on, would you be willing?" Han Yue asked.
The word "willing" almost escaped his lips!
Han Yue watched him open his mouth, but no sound came out. She leaned closer and encouraged him, "Say it. Say you're willing to stay by my side forever."
Her voice was sweet and coquettish, lacking her usual coldness, but all the more alluring.
However, no matter how long Han Yue waited, Fan Li remained silent. He seemed to have fallen asleep, his eyes closed and a slight smile on his lips, as if lost in the beautiful music.
"I am willing to give myself to you. Are you still not satisfied? Are you still unwilling to stay by my side forever?" Han Yue finally spoke again, her voice tinged with urgency. "Promise me, stay forever."
Han Yue's voice finally 'woke up' Fan Li. He opened his eyes, his gaze passing over the opera performance on stage and the breathtakingly beautiful Han Yue, but still refusing to linger.
After scanning his surroundings, he finally uttered three words, "Golden Illusion Formation?"
At the same time!
In the Dragon God Palace, Peng City, Great Chu.
Four identical Fan Lis also stopped their cultivation and slowly opened their eyes.
"Master?" Wu Gang inquired. "Is everything going smoothly at Mount Yunmeng?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine," the four Fan Lis spoke in unison. "The Golden Illusion Formation, a boring trick, is about to end."
