433: Chapter 432: Xu Ruolan’s Thoughts 433: Chapter 432: Xu Ruolan’s Thoughts About Ouyang Feifei’s proposal, Ning Fan had some thoughts, but he did not discuss the details with her right away since she was still injured.
Even though he had ideas, Ning Fan had to wait until she recovered from her injuries before discussing them.
After parting with Ouyang Feifei, it was late at night when Ning Fan finally returned home.
At this hour, if one wasn’t a night owl, most people would already be asleep.
The first floor of the villa was quiet, but there was still light visible on the second floor; Ning Fan knew that Xu Ruolan had not yet gone to bed.
If she hadn’t slept by this time, then Xu Ruolan must have entered her workaholic mode and was staying up late working.
Back in his room, Ning Fan’s mind echoed with the words Ouyang Feifei had said.
His situation had already become somewhat dangerous.
He needed to be careful when dealing with the Fang Guild next; Asura’s identity being exposed would cause many troubles for Ning Fan.
“To establish my own force, Ouyang Feifei really knows how to say it…” It wasn’t that Ning Fan thought there was anything wrong with Ouyang Feifei’s suggestion; it’s just that didn’t he already have his own strength?
The Phantom Guild overseas was established by him, and Ning Fan still had absolute authority and credibility there.
But problems also followed.
As the Phantom Guild grew bigger, sometimes when he wanted to do something, he didn’t know how many eyes were watching him secretly.
Especially since the name of Asura was there on top of the Phantom Guild.
In the Dark World, the Phantom Guild was like a towering tree that, with the slightest shake, would draw countless onlookers.
Besides, because the Phantom Guild was so famous, there were times when Ning Fan had to think twice before using its power.
The idea of establishing a new global intelligence organization had been taking shape in Ning Fan’s mind early on.
If it could be said that Ning Fan had been hesitating before, now, after Ouyang Feifei’s reminder, he felt that it was time to get this project on the schedule.
“Indeed, another underground intelligence organization is necessary.
If it could secretly find what I’m looking for, that would be best!”
Ning Fan thought to himself.
Now, because the Phantom Guild was drawing too much attention, he had asked Ajiu to help find the Nine Souls Jade very cautiously, not wanting to alert other forces.
Now that he had enlisted Chen Fengnan as an ally, Ning Fan’s previous pressure was relieved, but Chen Fengnan alone was not enough, even though the power behind Chen Fengnan was immense.
Around the world, there were not just a few people interested in the Nine Souls Jade.
Before, the Mingwang Pavilion, and recently the Yun Ci Guild that Ning Fan had brought down, who knew how many others secretly desired the Nine Souls Jade?
Establishing another underground intelligence organization might indeed be a good tactic, which later could unexpectedly aid his search for the Nine Souls Jade.
Bang bang bang!
As Ning Fan pondered this, his room door suddenly received knocks, causing him to immediately open his eyes and get up from the bed.
“Ning Fan, are you asleep?”
Xu Ruolan’s voice came through the door.
Ning Fan looked towards the door, puzzled.
It was so late; what did Xu Ruolan want with him?
“I’m not asleep yet; the door is unlocked, come in,” said Ning Fan as he stepped off the bed and Xu Ruolan pushed the door open and entered.
Xu Ruolan was still wearing her sharp business attire, having returned home and been busy working without a moment to change clothes.
Working continuously in the study, Xu Ruolan noticed activity on the second floor and guessed that Ning Fan had returned.
So, she had put down her work immediately to come and find Ning Fan.
“Are you not going to sleep this late?” There was concern in Ning Fan’s eyes.
Xu Ruolan working so hard was really not good for her health.
Xu Ruolan shook her head; she had been used to handling the family business ever since it was transferred to her hands.
“I need to ask you a favor,” Xu Ruolan revealed her purpose.
Ning Fan scratched his cheek and smiled, “Just tell me what it is.”
“It’s like this, tomorrow a distant cousin of mine is returning to the country, and I won’t have time to pick him up.
If possible, could you and Xiaoqing go to pick him up together?”
A distant cousin?
Ning Fan paused, as it was the first time he had heard about Xu Ruolan having a distant cousin.
This distant cousin of Xu Ruolan had been abroad for several years, and his main reason for coming back this time was to visit Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing, the sisters.
However, Xu Ruolan had an important meeting tomorrow and couldn’t spare the time to pick up her cousin.
Moreover, she didn’t feel comfortable letting Xu Xiaoqing go alone, so she thought of Ning Fan.
After all, Ning Fan was her fiancé, officially…
It was just picking someone up from the airport, not a big deal, so Ning Fan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately nodded, agreeing to Xu Ruolan’s request.
“Then that’s settled, I’ll leave it to you and Xiaoqing tomorrow.”
“What’s troubling about that?
We’re all family after all, it’s only right, hehe!”
Ning Fan’s face broke into a sly grin, taking the opportunity to tease Xu Ruolan a bit.
Xu Ruolan’s pretty face flushed and her expression became somewhat helpless.
“That’s all I wanted to say.
You should get some sleep early, I’m leaving.”
“You should also sleep early, don’t take everything upon yourself, why not try letting others help?”
Ning Fan’s words warmed Xu Ruolan’s heart, but she had her own convictions, smiled without saying anything, and turned to leave.
But just as Xu Ruolan was turning around, her expression suddenly contorted in pain.
Xu Ruolan’s brows furrowed tightly, her complexion suddenly lost some of its color, and she instinctively covered her stomach.
Noticing this, Ning Fan immediately grabbed Xu Ruolan’s slender arm, his tone full of concern, “What’s wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?”
The sudden change in Xu Ruolan alarmed Ning Fan greatly.
“I’m fine, it’s just…”
Xu Ruolan bit her lip, her stunning face tinged with a trace of blush; her eyes seemed unfocused and hesitant.
She started speaking but suddenly stopped, as if struggling to say something embarrassing.
Ning Fan took Xu Ruolan’s hand and felt her pulse.
The facts were indeed as Xu Ruolan had said; there was nothing seriously wrong, it was just that time of the month.
It happens to every normal woman for a few days every month.
Ning Fan instantly understood what was going on and couldn’t help but feel amused at the moment.
