Faceslapping

At this time, before Xi Ting could say anything, his phone rang. It was a call from company.  2

Seeing Xi Ting leave, Yan Miao and Li Mei became even more brazen. 

Yan Miao looked at Nei Mianmian admirably, "Sis Mianmian, you're amazing! You know so many things and you do them better than most people! Even better than the men! The only extraordinary person I know aside from Brother Xi is you!"

Yan Miao then glanced distastefully at Qin Yan who stood beside the little guy. She wrinkled her nose, "You should be the perfect partner for Brother Xi! I wonder if he's blind! I never thought he'd be as shallow as the other men! How could he be tricked by a woman like this?"

Nie Mianmian stayed silent after she heard Yan Miao's words, her expression turning frosty. The people around started whispering, apparently agreeing with Yan Miao's words.

The woman that Xi Ting liked was terribly disappointing…If he were to select a woman that was worthy of him, the woman would definitely be Nie Mianmian.

Nie Mianmian was childhood friends with Xi Ting. They had grown up together and their family were friends with each other. She was someone of Xi Ting's calibre and many young talented men were fond of her.

However, she was only close to Xi Ting. Her personality matched with that of Xi Ting's; they were the proud perfectionists of their league. 

But who would have expected this plot twist? Another beautiful girl snatched Xi Ting away. Everyone's jaws dropped! Their relationship was such a sudden joke!

What was more surprising was that according to Yan Ziqi, she was still a student!

Li Mei looked at Qin Yan in disdain, "I wonder what magic some people have done on Young Master Xi that he accepted them!"

Yan Miao added, "These people are talentless but seduce rich men with their beauty!"

Qin Yan stood calmly while listening to their discussion. These people were from the wealthy circle of the capital city. They were either the heirs of a wealthy organization or the prince or princesses of some high-ranking government officials. They were just being fairly nice to Qin Yan because of Xi Ting.

At that moment, someone told Nie Mianmian, "Mianmian, you are closer to Bro Xi. Why don't you try to talk to him and tell him not to be fooled by a woman like her!"

"He will eventually find out himself," Nie Mianmian replied.

"That'd be too late. The moment he finds out, he would've been deceived!"

Yan Jingheng quickly stood in between them and tried to defuse the situation, "Hey, what are you doing? We're here to have some fun! Stop making a fuss!"

Yan Miao said angrily, "I'm not making a fuss! Seriously, how is this woman worthy of Brother Xi?"

Li Mei also echoed Yan Miao's words. 

In the midst of the chatter, Yan Miao and Li Mei's voices suddenly grew louder, their words dripping with disdain. They casted judgmental glances at Qin Yan, seemingly eager to belittle her. Their chosen target, she became the subject of their not-so-subtle mockery. They compared her relentlessly to Nie Mianmian, highlighting her perceived lack of talent in comparison to the sharpshooting prodigy. Their taunts grew more audacious, their laughter ringing hollow in the open air.

But as their barbs continued to fly, Nie Mianmian merely smirked in silence, her eyes dancing with a triumphant gleam. She relished the discomfort that radiated from Qin Yan and reveled in the attention showered upon her.

Beside Qin Yan, Xi Xiaobao clenched his tiny fists, his face flushing with anger. The atmosphere grew tense, a storm of emotions swirling amidst the blazing sun.

Qin Yan, however, appeared surprisingly unfazed. A calm demeanor enveloped her, a mask of nonchalance that hid a world of determination. 

As Xi Ting came back after attending his phone call, he sensed a tense atmosphere in the shooting area. His eyes drifted to the little guy who appeared extremely angry. Nie Mianmian's expression was a gloating one while Qin Yan appeared nonchalant. 

Yan Miao did not know that Xi Ting has returned as he was standing behind her. She remarked, "I think such useless people should themselves know their place and not cling onto rich men."

The relentless mockery of Yan Miao seemed to fuel Qin Yan's resolve, each mocking remark acting as a catalyst for her impending transformation.

And then, it happened.

In a swift and almost surreal motion, Qin Yan reached for a gun resting at her side. The air seemed to crackle with electricity as she raised the weapon, her fingers wrapping around the grip with a newfound purpose. Her movements were deliberate, a symphony of focus and intent. Without even looking at the target, she fired. 

Three shots rang out, the sound echoing through the air. 

The counter rang.

The scores were presented:

10 points!

10 points!

10 points!

The targets bore the undeniable evidence of her skill, the precision of her shots leaving a trail of shock in their wake. The onlookers were frozen in place, their jaws dropping in collective disbelief. The range fell silent, the weight of the moment sinking in as if time itself had paused to bear witness.

Nie Mianmian's triumphant expression melted away, replaced by a stunned expression that mirrored those around her. Her jaw hung slack, her eyes wide with astonishment. Yan Miao and Li Mei were similarly rendered speechless, their taunts falling silent in the face of undeniable talent

Xi Ting's pride swelled, a mixture of awe and admiration filling his gaze as he looked at Qin Yan. His son, Xi Xiaobao, broke into an exuberant cheer, his small frame practically vibrating with excitement. The tables had turned, and Qin Yan had effortlessly shattered the preconceptions that had been cast upon her.

A smattering of applause rippled through the group, a mix of genuine admiration and newfound respect. Qin Yan lowered the gun, a serene smile gracing her lips as she met the stunned gazes around her. The shooting range had become an arena of transformation, where doubt had been replaced by astonishment and where mockery had turned into awe.

Qin Yan did not say anything and looked at Xi Ting. Xi Ting's lips curled up. This girl had finally shown her prowess. The embarrassed faces of the girls mocking her were a sight to look by. Qin Yan, however did not care about anything else and held the little guy's hand and walked away with Xi Ting. She did not want to waste time with these people. So, after slapping their faces hard, she left with the father-son duo.

This time, because Qin Yan had revealed her earth-shattering marksmanship earlier, everyone's attitude magically changed.

"Indeed, we shouldn't have doubted Young Master Xi…this girl really did amaze us all with a single brilliant feat. No wonder she could charm the socks off Young Master Xi!"

"Exactly, that marksmanship, wow…amazing! I saw her before firing. She did not even look at the target before firing. Is she really a student?"

"Who knows!"

"What's the big deal? Even though she is not entirely useless, she only has one such skill!" Yan Miao mumbled as she clung onto Nie Mianmian's arm. "Sis Mianmian, don't stoop to the levels of those people! It's just a little trick to fool everyone!"

Nie Mianmian's expression was heavy in thought. She knew that Qin Yan had other talents too.

When the family of three arrived at home, the little bun ended up sleeping before even eating his cake.

However, he had gotten what he wanted this birthday. He was definitely satisfied with this as opposed to any other present. 

Xi Ting laid the little guy on the bed, covered him with a blanket and then went to his own room. Qin Yan was tidying up everything when Xi Ting suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, firmly, and there was almost no more gap left between them.

He lowered his head and went to find her lips to kiss her.

He kissed Qin Yan until she was panting, her cheeks turning into a rosy flush. Even her lips looked like the color of rose petals.

Gorgeous and alluring.

Xi Ting's breathing got a little heavier. He took a deep breath, but it was not very stable. His gaze landed on Qin Yan's rosy cheeks, her glistening eyes, and her gorgeous lips. He instantly felt that his eyes were not useful enough.

He wanted to see everything and would think about each spot that his gaze landed on.

His hot and heavy breath landed on her lips, making Qin Yan's lips tremble uncontrollably.

She felt so heated up because of him, as if she was turning numb, and totally could not control herself.

Xi Ting's lips curved slightly. The outstanding girl on the shooting range was lying meekly in his arms. No matter how mature she was, she always acted like this when she was with him. Xi Ting felt special for just this reason.
