First update,

...

Of course, Qin Fang himself suddenly felt overwhelmed as well.

Chu Yunxuan had been spending the past few days accompanying her best friend and classmate, said to be joined by another who flew in specially from the United States, and now it seemed to be the blonde, mixed-race beauty in front of him.

It was just that the level of enthusiasm was a bit beyond Qin Fang's imagination... Of course, the words the beauty had just spoken had already explained everything—she knew that Qin Fang was Chu Yunxuan's man.

But the issue was, Qin Fang's identity at the moment was as Ning Yumo's boyfriend, specifically there to act as a shield against this Yang Rui... Being approached by this mixed-race beauty in such a manner left Qin Fang somewhat dizzy.

In fact, Qin Fang wasn't the only one feeling dizzy; Yang Rui's face was also full of confusion and incomprehension.

Although he had been certain for a while now that Qin Fang was not actually Ning Yumo's boyfriend and had tried in every way to expose Qin Fang's lies, especially detesting Qin Fang for boasting about making a mere "few hundred million from a small business."

As for the reason, well, it was naturally because Qin Fang looked too ordinary, lacking the proud disposition of a wealthy young master, so he simply assumed Qin Fang was just an average Joe, completely unsuitable for a beauty like Ning Yumo.

But now...

The scene before him dealt a heavy blow.

Why, you ask?

This mixed-race beauty was no ordinary person; she was the daughter of his boss and also a member of the head company's board of directors. In her eyes, he was nothing more than a middle-level employee at the company, absolutely not within her league.

It just so happened that this young lady came to Ninghai to visit an old classmate, and by such a coincidence, she bumped into him, so he took the opportunity to invite her over. Of course, the beauty beside her with the excellent temperament, no less outstanding than Ning Yumo, was her classmate.

But what he hadn't expected was...

Turns out, she was actually the girlfriend of Qin Fang, whom he very much looked down upon!

Girlfriend?

Yang Rui suddenly caught onto something and couldn't help but let slip a slight grin from the corner of his eye.

If this beauty was Qin Fang's girlfriend, then obviously Ning Yumo was not anymore, otherwise... it would truly be like Mars colliding with Earth!

"You must be Sister Yumo... Hello, I am Chu Yunxuan, one of Qin Fang's girlfriends!"

Yang Rui might have celebrated too soon. The mixed-race beauty's enthusiasm for Qin Fang indeed surprised both Ning Yumo and Cai Qing. They naturally heard what the mixed-race beauty had said, but Chu Yunxuan sat down beside Ning Yumo with a sweet smile and spoke very friendly to her.

Ning Yumo and Chu Yunxuan were close in age, both impeccable in beauty and temperament. The moment they sat down together, the surroundings lost all color.

Cai Qing was a bit better off; at least she was also a very beautiful woman. However, Tong Bin's girlfriend, Ling Yan, suddenly couldn't help but want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"You... hello!"

Ning Yumo hadn't yet recovered from her shock and only mechanically shook hands with Chu Yunxuan. She hadn't expected Chu Yunxuan to call her by her name at their first meeting.

Looking at Qin Fang's expression, it was clear he didn't know he would meet Chu Yunxuan here, either. That meant Qin Fang must have mentioned her, Ning Yumo, to Chu Yunxuan beforehand.

"Sister Qing, hello..."

But Chu Yunxuan's greetings weren't meant only for Ning Yumo. Cai Qing, who was sitting beside her with an odd expression, was immediately stunned.

"You... you know me?"

Cai Qing, just like Ning Yumo, was very clear that she and Chu Yunxuan had never met before.

"You and Sister Yumo have been of great help to Qin Fang. He has mentioned you to me many times, saying both of you are top-notch beauties, recognizable at first sight..."

Chu Yunxuan was Qin Fang's most trusted woman, and their dual cultivation had reached such a soul-intertwining level that each was very familiar with all of the other's past memories; therefore, Chu Yunxuan naturally knew every person Qin Fang knew...

Cai Qing was Qin Fang's senior sister, and Ning Yumo was Qin Fang's foster sister. While Qin Fang never specifically mentioned these relationships, Chu Yunxuan knew every detail of their interactions very clearly.

It was because she was so well-informed about these matters, even feeling a kindred connection, that Chu Yunxuan became Qin Fang's most trusted woman and the least likely to get jealous.

Such an encounter was unexpected for Chu Yunxuan as well, and she could imagine Qin Fang's awkwardness, so she immediately started to help him out of the awkward situation.

"Hehe, really? Sister Yunxuan, you flatter me too much..."

Although Cai Qing had some quirks, she was still a woman and liked to be complimented, especially when such compliments came from a beauty who seemed even more exceptional than herself. She was truly delighted, and any irritation she felt towards Qin Fang also lessened a lot.

"Oh, these are not my own words, all from Qin Fang himself... Of course, as soon as I walked in the door, I realized he hadn't exaggerated one bit!"

Chu Yunxuan's flattery continued to work wonders, and Cai Qing seemed quite pleased with it.

However, Ning Yumo wore a strangely peculiar expression, her eyes flickering uncertainly, leaving one to wonder what was on her mind.

"Yunxuan, this is..."

Qin Fang had finally managed to extricate himself from the hands of the enthusiastic mixed-race beauty, whose name he didn't even know—her zeal was just too overwhelming.

"Her name is Helen, she was my classmate at Harvard..."

Chu Yunxuan promptly introduced the blonde mixed-race beauty to Qin Fang and the others.

"You're not needed here anymore..."

As the group talked amongst themselves, they ended up sidelining Yang Rui, who was left out in the cold. He tried to chime in, but nobody gave him so much as a glance.

It wasn't until Helen sat down with Chu Yunxuan that they finally acknowledged the presence of this successful individual... and then rather unceremoniously asked him to leave.

"Yes, yes, of course... Miss Helen, if there's anything you require, do let me know..."

Yang Rui certainly wanted to stay, after all, Ning Yumo was still there and she was his target. If he walked away, he'd lose his chance for good.

"No need!"

The beauty was incredibly warm towards Qin Fang, but she was less courteous to Yang Rui, hardly letting him finish his sentence before she waved him away.

"Yes..."

Yang Rui bowed slightly, his face clouding over, but he dared not make a scene and could only leave reluctantly.

Although Tong Bin and Ling Yan were still seated there, they took a look at the others at the table, hesitated, and then found an excuse to leave as well.

Qin Fang and the others didn't mind. Aside from Chu Yunxuan and Helen, who were out of the loop, everyone knew what was going on with the two who just left.

"What's happening?"

As Chu Yunxuan, the official girlfriend, arrived, and Helen's status seemed even higher than Yang Rui's, Ning Yumo wasn't worried about Yang Rui bothering them anymore. She and Cai Qing sat together, letting Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan sit side by side.

Qin Fang frowned, unclear about what was happening, and had to ask Chu Yunxuan for clarification.

"I didn't mean to interrupt your flirtation... Helen and I just happened to come here for dinner, and we ran into that Yang guy. He seems to be an employee at Helen's company; we met him twice before and he invited us over on the way here..."

Chu Yunxuan was always upfront with Qin Fang and told him the truth.

It seemed it really was a coincidence that they bumped into each other this time.

"Helen... Yang Rui is an employee at her company... isn't that... Reid Pharmaceuticals in the United States..."

It dawned on Qin Fang suddenly; Ning Yumo had briefed him on Yang Rui's background before she came: he worked at the multinational company Reid Pharmaceuticals, served as the head of Dragon Country's division, and was involved in the pharmaceutical industry.

Reid Pharmaceuticals was a very famous American large-scale business dealing in pharmaceuticals, with many investments worldwide. In Dragon Country, they cooperated with several drug factories, ranking in the top ten pharmaceutical enterprises globally, possessing assets worth at least a hundred billion US dollars—a true behemoth.

"Right, Reid Pharmaceuticals is owned by the Helen Family. Helen herself is also a Ph.D. in pharmacology... We both graduated from Harvard together,"

Chu Yunxuan nodded and explained, "The various pieces of equipment I needed to purchase this time were all facilitated through Helen's help..."

Qin Fang was aware of this; while he had assigned Chu Yunxuan to handle it, she always gave him a heads up beforehand.

The analysis of the Heart Nourishing Pill's pharmaceutical components was Qin Fang's first medicinal technology project, and with Dr. Chu Yunxuan in charge, he believed the difficulty wouldn't be too high, with the only trouble being the various experimental instruments and equipment.

Chu Yunxuan sought help from her classmate in the United States to procure the equipment, as the domestic level in this field was relatively behind.

Without a doubt, the Reed Group was an international large-scale pharmaceutical company. Their drug testing labs and research institutes were among the top globally. Those instruments and devices would undoubtedly be state-of-the-art, and apart from some restricted items, almost everything could be supplied to Chu Yunxuan.

As old classmates and close sisters, she could even expect some discount on the price.

"If it weren't for Helen's background, I would've considered bringing her into the research team... Of course, if you could capture her heart, maybe that could still happen..."

Chu Yunxuan joked with Qin Fang, laughing.

"Forget it, I can't handle such a foreign beauty..."

Qin Fang shook his head, laughing. Undoubtedly, Miss Helen was quite attractive, with exceptionally smooth skin, not at all like the rough and large-pored skin typical of Europeans and Americans. If one set aside her long golden hair, her facial features were quite close to those of Dragon Country people.

"She's not entirely a foreign horse; she's half Dragon Country by blood... Her mother is our compatriot! Did you not notice she speaks Chinese very fluently?"
