Chapter 206: Save Me, Okay

Familiar?
Shen Wan couldn’t understand why she had such thoughts. After all, strictly speaking, her interactions with Quan Hanting were not many, and apart from the unexpected close encounter at the hot spring resort, they had very little intimacy.
But feelings couldn’t be deceived. That embrace, that scent, all made her feel strangely familiar and… safe.
Having experienced two lifetimes, she had grown accustomed to relying on herself and never trusting others easily.
Yet here and now, in this situation, she found herself placing her hopes on a man she had only spent one fleeting night with.
“Save me.”
She was pragmatic and knew when to speak up, never sulking or pouting.
Quan Hanting felt the soft warmth in his arms and watched her yield, and for a moment, he had a fleeting thought that time should freeze right here, making this moment eternal.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t pursued her before; it was just that this version of Shen Wan, leaning on him for support, made him unable to resist being drawn to her.
In their previous encounters, this woman had been cold and unyielding, like a stubborn rock. But now, she leaned on him, and Quan Hanting felt an overwhelming sense of contentment, his chest swelling with an unfamiliar fullness.
Meanwhile, Lushen, who had caught up with them, stood there in shock.
He had brought Sixth Brother here to catch her in the act, not to witness all this affectionate bonding!
Blame it on Shen Wan, that cunning little vixen. She was too clever and knew how to seduce others. But then again, wasn’t his sixth brother’s self-control equally lacking?
Looking at that affectionate expression, those captivating eyes, was this still the same sixth brother who used to torment him mercilessly without a hint of mercy?
At this moment, three men caught up with them.
Blondie took the lead, holding a baseball bat and pointing it at Quan Hanting. “Who the hell are you? Mind your own business!”
Quan Hanting was interrupted by his words, and the tender moment vanished, shattered into pieces. His gaze, once filled with warmth, turned sharp and piercing like a drawn sword, the blade exposed.
Blondie’s confidence wavered as he felt Quan Hanting’s intense gaze, and his legs trembled. “D-do you even know who I am?”
Behind him, the other two thugs instinctively stepped back a couple of paces, their actions lagging behind their thoughts as they reacted to the menacing gaze.
Quan Hanting replied, “I don’t need to know.”
“It seems you’re intentionally looking for trouble today! Attack him!” Blondie charged forward, but then belatedly realized that the other two men weren’t following him.
He turned back and shouted, “Are you two trying to get yourselves killed?!”
The two men exchanged a glance, trying hard not to meet Quan Hanting’s gaze. With gritted teeth, they reluctantly followed Blondie’s orders and charged ahead.
Quan Hanting pulled Shen Wan back a few steps and then glanced sideways at Lushen, indicating that he should handle the situation.
Lushen felt utterly hopeless!
Why him?
He was here to catch her in the act, not to play the hero!
Before he could refuse, the three men had already charged at them, leaving Lushen with no choice but to engage with them.
It was at this moment that Shen Wan realized Lushen’s fighting skills were not as weak as she had imagined.
Back in the surveillance room when she kicked and punched him, he hadn’t fought back. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘯𝑜𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝓂
However, he wasn’t extremely strong either, and facing three opponents was proving to be quite challenging.
Thud!
Lushen took a blow to the cheekbone and received a kick to the stomach from Blondie.
“Damn it! You’ve crossed the line! You shouldn’t hit the face while fighting! You three are asking for a beating today!”
Suddenly, Shen Wan spoke up, “Take this—”
Then, taking advantage of Lushen turning his head for a moment, she threw the stick she had in her hand.
Lushen tried it out, and it turned out to be particularly effective.
Soon, two of the three thugs were lying on the ground, unable to get up, with only Blondie still putting up a stubborn resistance.
Lushen’s face was bruised, and his clothes were dirty from the scuffle.
Shen Wan furrowed her brow, closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield, subconsciously ignoring the hand that had been resting on her shoulder all along..
