Chapter 23: Meeting as Natural Enemies

Today, Shu Wan'er was wearing a set of urban clothes, which elevated her temperament to a whole new level. She looked cold and glamorous, keeping people at a distance, and at the same time, exuded a noble air that was difficult for ordinary people to cultivate.

However, when she called out "Xiaofan", her eyes were filled with tenderness, as if she had met her separated lover.

Li Yanhong, the modern version of Daji, the Fiery Beauty, held a glass of red wine in her hand. She took a sip, and her bright red tongue licked her lips. A hint of suspicion appeared between her phoenix-like eyebrows.

She knew this Iceberg Beauty well. From childhood to adulthood, she had never shown such tender eyes to any man. However, at this moment, she was showing such eyes to this rural boy, and her tone was extremely gentle, which was completely different from the usual cold and glamorous demeanor of the Iceberg Beauty.

"This rural boy is really quite handsome. Could it be that Shu Wan'er likes this boy? No, that can't be right. There are countless handsome young masters and wealthy bosses with power and influence. How could this Iceberg Beauty fall for this boy? I heard that he's from the poorest village in Jiulong Village."

Li Yanhong, the Fiery Beauty, showed a look of suspicion. Everyone in Zhuque City knew about the Ice and Fire Beauties. Their relationship was a bit strained, and they had always been in a dispute, seemingly competing to see who was the most beautiful woman in Zhuque City and unwilling to be on equal footing in terms of reputation.

"Sister Wan'er, why are you here? I was just thinking about how to find you."

Seeing Shu Wan'er, Zhang Xiaofan was also a bit excited. After being separated from this beauty for a while, he felt that every day was like a year. Could it be that he had developed some feelings for this Iceberg Beauty in his heart? But then again, with such a beautiful woman, how many men in the world could remain unmoved?

Zhang Xiaofan called out, and the two of them looked at each other affectionately. Zhang Xiaofan wanted to run over and hold her hand, but Shu Wan'er blinked her eyes, hinting that there was someone else present.

It was as if they were natural enemies. In front of this Fiery Beauty, Shu Wan'er wasn't as casual as usual. She was very proper in everything she did. It seemed that she also looked down on Li Yanhong to some extent. Because Li Yanhong was not only seductive in appearance but also liked to flirt and exchange glances with men on a regular basis. As an Iceberg Beauty, Shu Wan'er naturally despised such behavior.

Li Yanhong thought that Shu Wan'er, as a woman, was like an iceberg all day long, and her life had no fun. She was wasting her beautiful appearance. So she naturally looked down on those who pretended to be pure. The two of them were like fire and water, incompatible with each other.

"Yo! Wan'er, you're the Iceberg Beauty, the goddess of those stinky men. Why are you speaking so gently to this boy today? Can't you resist the urge to find a man? Do you like this boy?"

Li Yanhong said in a coquettish voice at this moment. She twisted her body like a snake spirit and walked over slowly. As she walked, she spoke. After saying that, she walked up to Zhang Xiaofan and said with a charming look on her face, right beside Zhang Xiaofan:

"Little brother, you're so handsome. Sister also likes you. Who do you think is more beautiful, me or this woman?"

Feeling a fragrant smell assaulting his nose, Zhang Xiaofan shuddered all over. He secretly groaned in his heart. At this moment, if he said who was more beautiful, he would definitely offend the other person. And given the relationship between these two women, if he said who was more beautiful, the other one would surely regard him as an enemy.

Zhang Xiaofan could only stand there, pretending to be an innocent boy who had never seen the world, looking a bit shy, as if he was too embarrassed to speak.

"Li Yanhong, Xiaofan is just a child. Why do you have to make things difficult for him? I came to see you today to discuss a business deal. If it weren't for the restrictions of my family, I wouldn't want to stay here for a single moment, nor would I come to see you."

The Iceberg Goddess was indeed the Iceberg Goddess. Even when asking for help, she had such an air of dignity. Her words were cold. However, Li Yanhong, the Fiery Beauty, seemed to be used to it and didn't get angry. She still maintained a charming appearance that could drive men crazy, and there was always a seductive smile on her face.

"All right. I'm a businesswoman after all, and business is easy to talk about. Li Yanhong, I just want to ask you, do you like this little brother? If you do, just say it. There's nothing to be shy about."

Li Yanhong still wouldn't let go of this issue. If the Iceberg Beauty really had a man she liked, once this news got out, it would surely ruin Shu Wan'er's reputation. From then on, she, Li Yanhong, would be the most beautiful woman in Zhuque City.

"No! Xiaofan is just my younger brother. Don't think too much about it."

Although Zhang Yanhong said this, she didn't feel good inside.

There are differences in people's lives. Someone like this Iceberg Beauty is used to being proper in her daily life. Even when doing things in the future, she has to be proper and is bound by such a framework.

It's like in the ancient martial arts sects. There are good and evil factions. The righteous factions have to consider the opinions of the world when doing things. However, the evil factions are different. They act according to their own temperaments without any scruples.

Li Yanhong was like this. She didn't care about other people's opinions at all and blurted out directly:

"Wan'er, to be honest, we've known each other since we were children, but we just don't get along. Since you don't like your younger brother, I do.

I'm at this age, and I think about men every night. Besides, your younger brother is so handsome. Why don't you introduce him to me as my husband? Although his status is low and he's poor, I don't mind. I have money!

Little brother, do you want to be my husband? I want to marry you and have your children."

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. While saying these words, the woman actually clung to him. She wrapped her arms around Zhang Xiaofan's arm. Zhang Xiaofan's arm felt two soft lumps in the bulging collar of her dress, surrounding his arm. They were also a bit warm. And with such a top-notch woman, Zhang Xiaofan's face immediately turned red, and he stood there a bit stiffly.

Li Yanhong made this move while watching Shu Wan'er's expression change. As expected, when Shu Wan'er saw this scene, her face became even colder. She seemed to want to lose her temper but forced herself to hold back. Her eyes were a bit red, and she stared at Zhang Xiaofan. This made Zhang Xiaofan, who was in this amorous situation, feel caught in the middle.

"This woman, with her natural charm bone, is really slutty! But she's also naturally suitable to be an excellent cauldron. If I could take her under my wing and train her as my cauldron, wouldn't I be in ecstasy every day?"

Zhang Xiaofan secretly cursed in his heart. He sized up the woman who was like a fox spirit and his eyes lit up. However, this woman had a very high status, and it wouldn't be an easy thing to get her.

He also knew that this woman was deliberately getting close to him just to make Shu Wan'er angry, and she didn't really value him.

Of course, this beauty had also said before that the man she would find in the future must be the man that the Iceberg Beauty liked. Only in this way could she show that she was more charming than the Iceberg Beauty.

With this statement, she had also gotten rid of the troubles of her suitors. It seemed that she was still single. Although she usually flirted with some young masters, no one knew if she actually had a man or not.
