203: Chapter 203 Was I just playing around? That was clearly torture!

"I am Qin Xun's... ex-girlfriend!"

Ye Lan stood in the sunlight with a smile on her face, appearing radiant.

A breeze blew through the small courtyard.

The leaves of the pomelo tree in the yard rustled.

Seeing Ye Lan's determined expression, Ma Xiugui felt a bit uneasy. She turned her head to look at the indifferent-looking Xia Ning and felt that things were getting tricky.

She turned and walked toward the house, muttering to herself.

"I'm going to go cook!"

Qin Xun looked at Ye Lan, then suddenly felt a pain on the top of his foot. He looked down to see that Xia Ning was stepping on his foot.

He whispered.

"She's lying."

Xia Ning said coldly.

"I know, but I just want to step on you."

Qin Xun: "???"

He wanted to pull his foot out, but Xia Ning was pinning it down firmly.

At this moment.

Ye Lan slowly walked forward, her steps elegant, a playful smile on her face.

"Qin Xun, have you forgotten?"

"You were the one who invited me first, and I agreed to come here to play the role of your girlfriend."

"For this, I consulted a professional acting master on how to play a girlfriend well."

"Furthermore, I arrived a day early, wanting to give you a surprise."

She walked up to Qin Xun and stood still.

"I didn't expect you to have prepared... two surprises for me."

"The first is a yard full of misfits."

She looked at Xia Ning.

"And a pretty canary."

Qin Xun saw Xia Ning's cold expression and tried to pull his foot away again, but still couldn't. He turned to look at Ye Lan.

"Didn't I send you a message today?"

"I've already found a more suitable candidate, you don't need to come."

Ye Lan looked at Qin Xun, then at Xia Ning, and said slowly.

"I don't agree."

"In terms of acting skills, I am superior to Xia Ning."

"You two break up now, and I want to take the spot."

Her gaze landed on Qin Xun's face, her voice somewhat deep.

"Otherwise, I will expose you to Auntie."

"Moreover, our subsequent cooperation will also be terminated right here, since the contract hasn't been signed anyway."

Ye Lan had a serene smile on her face, yet it exuded the smugness of a vicious female antagonist in a Korean drama.

"Qin Xun, you wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to work with an A-list star, would you?"

Qin Xun raised an eyebrow.

"Damn?"

"Threatening me?"

"Then don't blame me for kicking you out!"

He strode toward the pomelo tree in the corner of the courtyard, jumped up, plucked one, turned around, looked at Ye Lan, and shouted.

"Hey!"

Ye Lan: "???"

Qin Xun lightly tossed the pomelo over.

"It's a gift for you!"

"Take the pomelo and leave immediately!"

"This pomelo tree was grown with my urine since I was a child. It's very sweet. If you can take two back, it means your trip today wasn't in vain."

Ye Lan was shocked, her hands reaching out for the flying pomelo, but she caught nothing.

With a muffled "thud," it smashed into her forehead.

Her body swayed, and she saw stars.

Once she steadied herself, she looked at Qin Xun and demanded.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

But she saw Qin Xun with his eyes closed, his face scrunched up, turning his head away with an expression of disdain as if he couldn't bear to look.

"Do I look like I have nothing better to do than smash your dog head?"

"You're just too stupid."

He opened his eyes and picked three more pomelos from the tree.

Without even a greeting, he threw them one after another, rapidly, directly at Xia Ning.

The speed was much faster than when he threw it to Ye Lan.

Xia Ning stood as still as a pine, raising her right hand to catch one, then raising her left hand to catch another.

Ye Lan was greatly surprised.

Is she agile?

Or am I stupid?

The third pomelo flew toward Xia Ning. Ye Lan widened her eyes, wanting to see what Xia Ning would do.

How else could she catch it?

She's definitely going to get hit!

Just as the pomelo was about to hit Xia Ning's forehead, she tilted her head slightly, and the pomelo grazed past her hair and landed on the ground.

Ye Lan: "???"

Could it really be that I'm stupid?

She was somewhat unconvinced, looked at Qin Xun, and shouted.

"Do it again!"

Qin Xun plucked a pomelo from the tree and lightly tossed it toward Ye Lan, who was bending her knees and looking serious.

Bang!

It smashed into her forehead.

Ye Lan laughed in anger.

"Again!"

Qin Xun picked another pomelo and threw it over.

Bang!

Ye Lan cried out in pain, her forehead turning red.

"Again!"

Qin Xun didn't hold back, plucked another one, and threw it over.

"Hey!"

Ye Lan shouted, jumping up violently, and the pomelo hit her chest.

She caught the pomelo with both hands, a joyful smile appearing on her face.

"I caught it!"

She landed and took a few steps back, stepped on a pomelo, and fell flat on her back.

Ye Lan lay on the ground, holding the pomelo in her hands, looking at the azure sky, smiling very happily.

Wang Cui was pale with fright, rushed over to help Ye Lan up, and turned to glare at Qin Xun.

Qin Xun walked to Xia Ning's side and said in a low voice.

"Ningning, I've discovered that Ye Lan really has masochistic tendencies."

Xia Ning said coldly.

"Don't call me 'Ningning'."

Qin Xun: "What's wrong?"

Xia Ning snorted coldly.

"You two were having a lot of fun just now, weren't you?"

Qin Xun: "???"

Was that playing?

That was clearly tormenting her!

However... Ye Lan seemed really happy.

She's such a pervert!

Ye Lan glanced at Qin Xun, then suddenly turned around and touched her slightly red and swollen forehead with her hand.

Thinking about the moment she was hit, she felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.

Excitement mixed with secret joy.

What was shameful was that she was actually a bit addicted to it.

Could I really be a masochist?

With her back to the crowd, Ye Lan gently tossed the pomelo up and caught it with both hands, repeating this over and over, having a great time.

The smile on her face was like that of an idiot.

Wang Cui couldn't take it anymore.

She had been with Ye Lan for five years; when had she ever seen Ye Lan suffer such humiliation?

She looked like she had been smashed into an idiot!

Wang Cui picked up the gold-rimmed glasses that had been crushed by Ma Xiugui from the ground, walked up to Qin Xun, her tone filled with arrogance.

"Mr. Qin, if the cooperation is off the table."

"Then let's settle accounts clearly. You have to pay for these glasses!"

Before Qin Xun could move.

Xia Ning dropped the pomelo in her hand, took the broken glasses, held them, took out her phone, and said softly.

"Give me your account number."

Wang Cui was stunned, then laughed.

"Do you know how this pair of glasses was made?"

"Do you know how much they are worth?"

Xia Ning was expressionless, her voice cold.

"Lotos private custom glasses."

"They are tailor-made based on the customer's hair volume, hair color, eye socket depth, brow bone height, face shape, eye usage habits, clothing style, and the customer's identity."

"It takes at least a month to produce, and the cheapest ones are 750,000."

She saw that the defiance on Wang Cui's face had disappeared, replaced by a look of shock.

A faint smile curled on the corner of Xia Ning's mouth.

"I'll transfer 1 million to you. The extra is an apology, and if it's less, consider it the depreciation fee for the glasses."

Qin Xun was somewhat surprised.

"Ningning, how do you know so much about this?"

Xia Ning replied softly.

"I've had three pairs custom-made."

Qin Xun's eyelids twitched.

"I... how come I've never seen you wear them?"

Xia Ning remained calm.

"The new clothes I bought recently don't match those three pairs of glasses."

Qin Xun: "..."

Are things worth over a million used for matching clothes?

Wang Cui looked at Xia Ning, not knowing what to do.

She didn't seem to be a girl from an ordinary family.

She couldn't be easily offended.

At this moment.

A voice came from the small courtyard.

"Fun!"

Qin Xun and the others looked over.

They saw Ye Lan gently toss the pomelo into the air, nudge it with her forehead, and turn to walk toward Qin Xun.

"Mr. Qin, you really surprised me!"

"You are the first person to almost take my life, and today you beat me up again. I admire your courage."

She walked up to Qin Xun, took the glasses back from Xia Ning's hand, and threw them directly outside the courtyard.

"I've decided, I want to work with you."

"Please write me a high-end song to help me join the ranks of the super A-list."

"As for money, I have plenty."
