"Hehe, brother, sorry about that, I just can't stop when I start joking."

Watching Qin Yu, whose expression was constantly changing, Xu Fan squinted and started to laugh.

"I'm such a good girl, I might not be as knowledgeable as you in this kinda stuff. When there's a chance, you really have to teach me properly."

"Alright, Xu Fan, stop it now."

After all, Qin Yu was a guest, and it wasn't nice to keep teasing him like this. Zhou Keren pulled Xu Fan aside and said, "Even if someone's a professional censor, they're not as bad as you make out, not a Dongying person, right, Qin Yu?"

"Yeah, right, absolutely..."

Seeing Qin Yu's awkward agreement, the corners of Xu Fan's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Think you can play me?

Let's see who ends up playing whom?

Seemingly worried about slipping up, after that, Qin Yu hardly spoke throughout the meal.

"Alright, it's getting late, Yueyue, I'm going ahead."

After hurriedly finishing his meal, Qin Yu was ready to leave. Qin Mengyue, somewhat reluctantly, glanced at him and asked, "Should I walk you out?"

"What? Qin Mengyue, thinking of using the chance with us not around to do some naughty things with your man crush?"

Without waiting for Qin Yu's response, Xu Fan, squinting, chimed in.

Qin Mengyue blushed nonstop, glared at Xu Fan, and snapped, "Is it your business?"

Now that Xu Fan had pointed it out, Qin Mengyue was too embarrassed to walk him out and, with a laugh, said, "Qin Yu, you can catch a cab once you're downstairs, I need to help Keren clean up the table, so I won't see you out, okay?"

"..."

He had initially planned to take advantage when nobody was around to get back at Xu Fan for his earlier humiliation.

But Xu Fan's careless comment ruined all his plans, and Qin Yu cursed inwardly!

"No, it's fine, I know the way, no need for you to walk me."

With things having come to this, Qin Yu felt too awkward to shamelessly ask Qin Mengyue to accompany him downstairs, and with a magnanimous wave of his hand, he said, "Alright, I'll head off then, your friend is quite interesting, I should hang out with him more."

"Whew, that was nerve-wracking..."

Once Qin Yu had left through the front door, Qin Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief, anxiously clutching Zhou Keren, and anxiously asked, "How was it? How was it? Keren, what do you think of him?"

"Also, also, do you think he's interested in me at all?"

"..."

Zhou Keren, seeing Qin Mengyue's anxious demeanor, couldn't help but laugh and cry.

She shook her head and said, "Meng Yue, look at yourself—you're way too nervous. From a preliminary observation, he seems nice, but as to what he's really like, we'll have to keep watching."

"But I must warn you, it's just the first formal meeting, don't go too far, you know?"

What Zhou Keren meant was obviously about the intimacies between men and women, and she herself blushed as she cautioned Qin Mengyue, feeling somewhat hypocritical as Xu Fan had almost taken all the advantages from her.

"Wuwu, he is my idol after all, I'm always a bit nervous. Don't worry about the thing you mentioned. I have restraint; I didn't even hold his hand."

"Humph, taking things further would depend on how he behaves."

"..."

There, the two women gleefully discussed the departed Dongying man, while Xu Fan listening beside them rolled his eyes.

Thinking about it, the fault was his, hooking Qin Mengyue and getting her so desperate; no wonder she couldn't stand steady around a man who bore his name.

"Qin Mengyue, let me correct you on one thing."

Xu Fan interrupted the conversation between the two women, and seeing Qin Mengyue's puzzled face looking at him, Xu Fan said, "In this world, there's only one male deity."

"Hmm?"

"Yes, you're not seeing things wrong. What you're looking at right now is the only male deity in this world."

"Ugh..."

Faced with Xu Fan's boring joke, Qin Mengyue made a gagging gesture and said, "I can't take it anymore, Keren, I need to go to the bathroom, I'm disgusted."

"Ah, it's really annoying. Just one look from me and you're pregnant..."

Helplessly shrugging his shoulders and with a cocky demeanor, Xu Fan caused Zhou Keren beside him to be at a loss for words.

"Alright, you go clean up the dinner table. I'm going out for a bit; I have some things to handle."

Xu Fan glanced at Zhou Keren, guessing that Qin Yu had probably walked far by now, and then left the house.

Alone, he reached the underground parking lot where Xiao Lan was already waiting in the car.

As soon as Xu Fan jumped into the car, Xiao Lan drove off toward Lingyan Pavilion Clubhouse.

"Xu Fan, are you being too reckless in doing this..."

On the way, Xiao Lan, while driving, couldn't help but express her concern.

Now, Xu Fan was planning to hold his ground and play along, hoping to eventually settle everything with the other party at once.

Though this approach was indeed time-saving and labor-saving, the cost was that it might drag Qin Mengyue and Zhou Keren into it.

Xiao Lan really didn't want them to get hurt.

You must understand, the Miyamoto Itto-ryu people won't go easy on women.

"Lan, do you think I want to drag them into this?"

Hearing Xiao Lan's question, Xu Fan couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

He loved his current life, so why would he let others destroy it?

Not to mention allowing these guys to harm those close to him.

But now, he had no choice but to do this.

His alternative account, which he no longer could log into, had been completely taken over with the information changed by someone else.

This was the only proof that he was the so-called male deity of Qin Mengyue, and now it was gone. Xu Fan had no way to prove to Qin Mengyue that the guy was a fake.

"Lan, what do you think if I tell Qin Mengyue and them the truth now? Do you think they would believe me?"

"This..."

Thinking about the relationship between Xu Fan, her, and the girls, Xiao Lan shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Probably not. They'd most likely think you've gone crazy..."

He had already tried it. Standing in front of Qin Mengyue, he told her that he was her so-called male deity, but her reaction?

She clearly just thought he was joking.

Xu Fan didn't want to involve them, but now, he had no other options.

The only thing he could do now was to ensure, as much as possible, that they wouldn't get hurt in the slightest.

Xu Fan liked his current life and he wouldn't allow anyone to disrupt it.

Soon, the two arrived at the clubhouse entrance.

After entering the clubhouse and waiting in a private room for a short while, Zhou Zhanlong and his crew hurriedly walked in.

Xu Fan looked at them indifferently and asked, "So? Did you find out anything?"
