The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign

Chapter 685: Chapter 643: My Foot’s Asleep! (2)

Half Mountain Villa District.

A magnificent convoy, its vehicles adorned with a dazzling array of luxury logos, stopped at the entrance of the villa district. A dozen security guards looked at the stretched Rolls-Royce and couldn’t help but stand taller, saluting with pride.

It was the vehicle of the Patriarch of Lingnan. Who in all of Jiangzhou didn’t know of it? Moreover, this Rolls-Royce frequently visited No. 1 Villa, instilling even more awe in the security guards.

「Inside the Rolls-Royce.」

"That’s enough, you don’t need to follow us inside. Yino and I will walk from here," Qin Fan said calmly to Ye Jizu, who was about to get out of the car.

Then, he pushed open the car door, took hold of Jiang Yino’s hand, and gave her extremely anxious face a gentle smile. Without offering any words of reassurance, he calmly stepped out.

"Master Qin!"

"Idol!"

"Master Qin!"

The moment Qin Fan stepped out of the car, Ma Yunbin, Ye Haoyuan, Lai Zhuge, and the others all came over to greet him respectfully.

"Go back, all of you! Don’t follow us in," Qin Fan said with a smile, waving his hand at their respectful calls. "Old Ma, Master Lai, we’ll have a small gathering at the Ye Family residence tonight at six!"

"Yes, Master Qin!"

"Yes, Master Lai!" the two men hastily replied, unable to hide their excitement.

He didn’t say anything more to them, instead scanning the entourage of Jiangzhou’s elites behind him. Qin Fan smiled and nodded at each of them before continuing, "Let’s organize a gathering sometime! Just let me know when, and I’ll come. It will just be us!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Qin! We’ll get right on it and will let you know as soon as we finalize the time!" a middle-aged man, one of the wealthiest private entrepreneurs in Jiangzhou, responded in a rush, his voice high with excitement.

Following the man’s words, the other elites quickly voiced their agreement. All of them were middle-aged men, yet every single one addressed Qin Fan with the respected title of "Master Qin."

This attitude, which was utterly incomprehensible to Jiang Yino, was considered perfectly normal by these powerful figures—and even by the security guards still holding their salutes. In Jiangzhou, anyone with a bit of discernment knew of Qin Fan’s various deeds. The title of "Master Qin" was well-deserved.

Listening to the chaotic chorus of agreement, Qin Fan simply continued to smile and nod as he led Jiang Yino toward the entrance of Half Mountain Villa. Behind them, the now-silent crowd watched intently as the two figures walked away, not choosing to leave immediately.

When Qin Fan and Jiang Yino stepped through the entrance, the security guards shouted with ardent admiration, "Good day, Young Master Qin!"

The outburst startled Qin Fan for a moment. "Uh... hello to you, too!" he responded with a slightly stunned smile.

With that, under the watchful eyes of the guards, he tightened his grip on Jiang Yino’s slightly cold hand and started walking up the hill toward No. 1 Villa.

On the quiet, tranquil path, Qin Fan sensed Jiang Yino’s restlessness and softly called her name. "Yino?"

Hearing his voice, Jiang Yino trembled. "Qin Fan, my heart is beating so, so fast!" she said, her mouth dry.

Before entering the Half Mountain Villa District, she had been shocked by Qin Fan’s status in Jiangzhou—shocked by all the unbelievable things she had witnessed. But now, that shock was completely replaced by nervousness. She couldn’t feel any other emotion. Her mind was entirely preoccupied with how she would face Qin Fan’s parents and how they would treat her.

This was normal, of course. For a girl as innocent as she was, it would be absurd to claim she wasn’t nervous about meeting his parents.

"Alright, relax. Don’t be so tense." Qin Fan patted her arm, smiling helplessly. Though he understood her feelings, he tried to jest. "They say even an unattractive daughter-in-law has to meet the parents. You’re as beautiful as a celestial maiden, so what is there to be afraid of? My parents will definitely like you. Don’t worry, they’re easy to talk to! Your concerns are completely unfounded!"

Jiang Yino stopped, her legs feeling weak. "Qin Fan, what if your parents ignore me? That’s what I’m afraid of right now. If that really happens, I’ll want to die," she said, her face fallen with worry.

"I told you your worries are unfounded, and they are. Just be confident and calm down. If you’re fidgety and nervous, my parents might actually frown. Just be your usual self; no need to be nervous or to force anything. They’re my parents, what are you so nervous about? Just pretend you’re going back to your own home in Shanghai," Qin Fan said indulgently, laughing as he ruffled her soft hair.

At Qin Fan’s slightly intimidating words, Jiang Yino bit her lip and replied, "Okay, okay, okay! I’ll try my best!" She then took a few deep breaths, and the tense look on her face eased slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Fan asked with a smile, "Feeling better?"

"Mhm!" Jiang Yino nodded.

"Then let’s hurry up!"

"Wait, wait a moment—!"

"What’s wrong now?" Qin Fan was puzzled.

"My... my legs are numb! From being so nervous! Let me recover a bit first!" she said, taking another deep breath.

"I’ll carry you!" Qin Fan offered, both amused and exasperated.

"No, no, no! Don’t you dare! If someone saw and told your parents, what would they think of me? Absolutely not! Just give me a moment to recover, that’s all!" Jiang Yino hastily refused.

She was already afraid she wasn’t good enough for his parents’ approval. If she let Qin Fan carry her on his family’s property and someone saw, it would be a disaster. Indeed, influenced by her upbringing, Jiang Yino’s thinking still carried a certain traditionalism.

"It wouldn’t be a big deal," Qin Fan said, amused, as he reached for her, seemingly about to pick her up.

But before he could, Jiang Yino quickly pushed him away. "I’m better now, I’ll try walking!"

With that, she slowly took a couple of steps. Watching her, Qin Fan shook his head with a wry smile. He didn’t press the issue, instead walking slowly by her side. Fortunately, this didn’t last long; otherwise, it would have taken them half an hour to cover just a few hundred meters.

「Outside No.1 Villa.」

Gazing at the imposing, noble, and luxurious villa, Jiang Yino was utterly stupefied.

This is Qin Fan’s home? This manor-style villa, seemingly integrated so naturally into the mountainside... what kind of status would someone need to have to live here? Although I haven’t had much contact with so-called high society over the years, I still have basic analytical skills. To live in a place like this, in such a unique environment... this is about more than just money!

"Yino, don’t just stand there! Come on, let’s go inside!"

Qin Fan pressed the facial recognition device on the manor’s electronic gate panel.

BEEP.

The gate opened automatically. With his words hanging in the air, he took the hand of the stunned Jiang Yino and walked inside with a sunny smile on his face.
