Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 291 Did you fight back?

“Dare to hit me, do you know who I am…”

As Zhan Changsheng said this, Wang Hexun coldly stated, “Zhan Changsheng, you can’t afford to offend him, so shut your mouth!”

“I can’t afford to offend him? Is there anyone in Yangcheng I can’t afford to offend?”

Being looked down upon by the woman he liked made it even harder for him to accept.

Just as Zhan Changsheng finished speaking, his phone rang.

The call was from Zhan Changsheng’s father.

Zhan Changsheng answered the phone, his tone laced with displeasure, “Dad, what is it?”

“Where are you?” the Master of the Zhan Residence asked anxiously.

“Handling some matters. Speak if you have something to say.” Zhan Changsheng had been pampered since childhood, and even faced his father with a casual demeanor.

“Get back here immediately, and don’t cause trouble.” The Master of the Zhan Residence assumed Zhan Changsheng wasn’t with Qin Hanchu, which was why he said this.

Zhan Changsheng nonchalantly replied, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be back after I’m done.”

“You’d better call him back now, otherwise your son will suffer tonight.” Qin Hanchu said sternly.

Hearing Qin Hanchu’s words, the Master of the Zhan Residence finally realized his son was opposing the Marquis of Conquest!

The Fifth Princess had instructed not to expose Qin Hanchu’s identity, so the Master of the Zhan Residence could only hurriedly say, “Come back immediately. I can’t afford to offend the person in front of you!”

“What? You can’t afford to offend him?”

“You haven’t even seen him, and you know you can’t afford to offend him?”

“Who could make you afraid? Could it be the royal family?”

Zhan Changsheng felt something was wrong. His father hadn’t even met Qin Hanchu, so how did he know he couldn’t afford to offend him?

“Stop spouting nonsense. Come back if you don’t want to die,” the Master of the Zhan Residence urged.

Zhan Changsheng could sense his father’s anger, but if he left now, wouldn’t Wang Hexun become Qin Hanchu’s woman?

“Tell me who he is first?” Zhan Changsheng asked.

“Zhan Changsheng, do my words no longer matter?”

“Get back here immediately.”

With that, the Master of the Zhan Residence hung up the phone.

“Who exactly are you?” Zhan Changsheng was still unwilling to give up. He asked Qin Hanchu.

“You are not qualified to know. Now get out, I need to sleep,” Qin Hanchu said.

Zhan Changsheng’s fists clenched in anger. As the son of the Master of the Residence, when had he ever been treated with such contempt?

But thinking of his father’s words, Zhan Changsheng couldn’t ascertain Qin Hanchu’s background.

Seeing Zhan Changsheng still standing there, Qin Hanchu stood up and walked towards him.

“Shall I escort you out, or will you leave on your own?” Qin Hanchu stood in front of Zhan Changsheng and said coldly.

“I…”

Zhan Changsheng was about to say something more, but Qin Hanchu kicked him out.

By the time Zhan Changsheng could bear the pain in his stomach, the door had already been tightly shut.

Looking at the closed door, Zhan Changsheng pictured Wang Hexun being claimed by Qin Hanchu.

This made Zhan Changsheng’s face turn red with rage.

He was unwilling, but what could he do?

Even his father said he couldn’t afford to offend Qin Hanchu!

For the first time, Zhan Changsheng felt such powerlessness!

An hour later, Zhan Changsheng returned home.

“Did you get into a conflict with that person?” the Master of the Zhan Residence asked eagerly upon seeing Zhan Changsheng return.

“He slapped me and kicked me. What do you have to say about that!” Zhan Changsheng glared at the Master of the Zhan Residence.

Hearing this, the Master of the Zhan Residence’s expression changed drastically, “Did you fight back?”

“No.” Saying this, Zhan Changsheng grew even more furious.

The Master of the Zhan Residence breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, you didn’t fight back, otherwise you’d be crippled if not dead tonight!”

“I’m your son. Do you not get angry when I’m beaten?” Zhan Changsheng said angrily.

“Angry?”

“In front of him, I have no right to be angry.”

“Unless you want our entire family to be buried with you.”

The Master of the Zhan Residence said solemnly.

Hearing this, Zhan Changsheng was stunned.

“Could it really be the royal family?” Zhan Changsheng asked in a low voice.

“Don’t ask. I can’t tell you now.”

“Just remember, don’t provoke him.”

“By the way, how did you get into conflict with him?” the Master of the Zhan Residence asked.

Seeing his father inquire, Zhan Changsheng recounted the matter of Wang Hexun.

“You said Wang Hexun is his fiancée?” the Master of the Zhan Residence asked in surprise.

Zhan Changsheng nodded, “They seem to have a marriage contract.”

“Give me Wang Hexun’s hometown address. I’ll go visit her family tomorrow,” the Master of the Zhan Residence said.

His father’s reaction made Zhan Changsheng even more curious about Qin Hanchu’s identity.

Someone who could make his father so fearful and obliging could only be a prince from the capital’s royal family!

In the early morning, Qin Hanchu got up early.

As he was cultivating, Wang Hexun walked out.

Wang Hexun didn’t disturb him and turned into the kitchen to make breakfast.

When Wang Hexun came out with breakfast, Qin Hanchu had already stopped cultivating.

“What are your plans for today?” Qin Hanchu asked.

“Go to work. No special arrangements,” Wang Hexun replied.

Qin Hanchu nodded, “Alright, you just do as usual. I’ll protect you from nearby.”

“To have the Marquis of Conquest as my bodyguard, I am truly fortunate in three lifetimes,” Wang Hexun said with a smile.

“What about our engagement? Is it due to ancestral merit?” Qin Hanchu teased.

Wang Hexun said dejectedly, “You really know how to chat.”

While eating breakfast, Qin Hanchu’s phone rang.

He answered the call, and Ji Huairou’s voice came through, “Mr. Qin, Huang Wanting was attacked last night.”

“What was the result?” Qin Hanchu asked.

“Your fiancée was not injured, but the attacker escaped quickly, and we couldn’t catch them,” Ji Huairou said.

Qin Hanchu said sternly, “Send people to protect her well.”

“Understood,” Ji Huairou replied before hanging up.

“What’s wrong?” Wang Hexun asked.

“My other fiancée was attacked last night.” Qin Hanchu didn’t hide it and replied.

Wang Hexun asked in surprise, “Another fiancée? How many fiancées do you have?”

“A total of nine engagements, two have been called off, and one has died,” Qin Hanchu replied calmly.

“Nine!” Wang Hexun exclaimed, “How many do you plan to marry?”

“I will only marry one. Those who are not suitable will have their engagements canceled.”

Receiving Qin Hanchu’s answer, Wang Hexun said with a complex expression, “Looking at it this way, even if I wanted to marry you, you might not be willing to marry me.”

“I still hope to meet someone with mutual feelings,” Qin Hanchu said.

Wang Hexun nodded thoughtfully and then fell silent.

After breakfast, Wang Hexun went to work as usual.

Qin Hanchu, however, followed from a distance with a baseball cap on.

While Wang Hexun was working at the Enforcement Bureau, Qin Hanchu sat cross-legged on top of the Enforcement Bureau building, cultivating.

Even though he wasn’t by Wang Hexun’s side, every move within the entire Enforcement building was within his control.

In the afternoon, Qin Hanchu’s eyes suddenly opened.

He stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop, then looked towards the entrance of the Enforcement Bureau.

Within his sight, two foreigners were loitering at the entrance of the Enforcement Bureau.

“Foreigners? Could it be the Heavenly God Hall?” Qin Hanchu whispered.
