Zhao Yunhai hadn't expected that the protagonist would have brushed past him at the previous traffic light.
At the time, his attention had been solely on the cold and frosty ice queen, and he hadn't paid any attention to the person in the driver's seat.
When there was a beautiful woman in the passenger seat, who would immediately notice who was driving?
A golden light instantly flashed in his mind, and the six-sided golden light erupted with a golden glow, spinning wildly.
[Nine]
Beneath the golden light, this side directly spun to nine. This didn't mean the six sides only had numbers from 1 to 6; rather, any number could appear randomly, and it could even spin up to 999.
Super Doubling had spun to [Nine], which made Zhao Yunhai ecstatic.
Although he still didn't know what this protagonist's ability was, looking so ordinary and with no sense of presence, protagonist abilities were never weak.
In an instant, [Nine] shattered with infinite golden light, and dazzling, colorful fragments of light directly merged into Zhao Yunhai's body.
This wonderful feeling made Zhao Yunhai feel his body growing stronger.
At least this protagonist was several times stronger than the one he had encountered at the beginning.
The previous one was an undeveloped protagonist, while this one had likely passed the development stage and entered a stable phase.
Zhao Yunhai hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary protagonist to possess such a powerful ability.
The martial arts knowledge that flooded his mind broadened his horizons, and his martial arts strength also soared.
However, it was also because Zhao Yunhai hadn't visited the Zhao family's martial arts private vault to inquire about martial arts that his understanding of martial arts was so limited.
Given his status in the Zhao family, he naturally had access to all the treasured martial arts scriptures of the Zhao family.
Even some ultimate techniques that martial artists dreamed of, the Zhao family possessed them all.
Zhao Yunhai felt that he should go and take a look when he had time, perhaps taking out one or two ultimate techniques to recruit some martial artists.
After all, the strength of martial artists was not to be underestimated; they still occupied a significant position in this world.
However, it wasn't time yet. Once his Heavenly Palace foundation was officially on track, these matters could be scheduled.
Actually, Zhao Yunhai didn't know that his father, Zhao Hongwen, had long wanted him to get involved with martial artists.
But due to Zhao Yunhai's (the former body's) extreme aversion to martial artists, he had never brought it up again.
After all, Zhao Hongwen was an extremely doting father who wouldn't force his son to do something he didn't want to do.
Even if his son were to succeed him as the head of the Zhao family in the future, he wouldn't need so-called powerful martial force; as long as he grasped the general direction, countless Zhao family martial artists would serve him.
Yang Fan also noticed from the other person's gaze that he seemed to have designs on him, not that kind of design, but a sort of covetousness, which was a martial artist's most direct feeling.
In that brief moment of eye contact, perhaps Yang Fan didn't realize that this man in front of him was already contemplating how to deal with him.
Yang Fan didn't detect any traces of martial arts practice in the other person, assuming he was just an ordinary pampered young master, perhaps with a strong background at most.
But did Yang Fan care?
He didn't care at all.
Yang Fan only believed that in the face of sufficient power, even authority would bow to strength.
Yan Rubing had never been called an ice queen to her face before. Suppressing the rising anger within her, she coldly glared at this man, her eyes full of disgust.
"Yang Fan, are you just going to watch?" Yan Rubing crossed her arms, implying, "Can't I complain if no one else can?"
Yang Fan looked at Yan Rubing with a look of innocence, wondering if he was getting caught in the crossfire just by sitting there.
Yang Fan still stood up and rubbed his nose, saying helplessly, "I am only responsible for protecting your life safety. I don't concern myself with anything else."
"I'm being harassed, my life safety is already threatened."
Yan Rubing's expression was cold, and her words held no hint of anger.
Only then did Yang Fan slowly stand up, walk up to Zhao Yunhai, and say calmly, "Stop harassing the person I'm protecting."
Zhao Yunhai looked at the two thoughtfully. It seemed the protagonist and the heroine didn't have any feelings for each other yet, so he feigned innocence and shrugged.
"I'm not harassing you. If calling you 'ice queen' is considered harassment, then I believe everyone who sees you wants to harass you."
"Don't think that women can make up lies without consequences."
"Gender equality, right?"
Zhao Yunhai wouldn't indulge anyone, not even Yang Hui. He was the one in a dominant position with Yang Hui, and his gentleness towards her was because he treated her as an equal.
Then, Zhao Yunhai looked at Yang Fan and teased, "As for the person you're protecting, isn't she perfectly fine?"
"Don't worry, if she deducts your salary, you can come work for me, and I'll pay you double."
Yang Fan was stunned. He hadn't expected this guy to not be angry at all and even to try to hire him to work for him.
"You." Yan Rubing was so angry that she raised her finger to point at him, trembling with rage and unable to speak.
This person was actually trying to buy off her subordinate in front of her. How brazen and shameless!
"What about me?" Zhao Yunhai prepared the milk tea, thoughtfully inserted a straw, and handed it to Yang Hui, who silently drank it without a word.
Yan Rubing suddenly thought of something and let out a cold snort. "You don't admit it, right? Then how do you account for your friend harassing my friend just now?"
"And your boyfriend is flirting with another woman right in front of you, and you're not angry at all?"
Yan Rubing looked at Yang Hui, who was drinking milk tea, and said with disappointment, "He's not my boyfriend yet." Yang Hui shook her head, speaking very calmly. "Whether he flirts with women is his freedom. Why should I be angry?"
In Yang Hui's mind, it was normal for a man like Zhao Yunhai to have many women. As long as she was the one who was legally married, no one could surpass her.
Her father also had a mistress outside, but her mother still lived very well. Those mistresses could never be brought into the light.
Her father was also very good to her mother; they treated each other with respect.
However, Yang Hui didn't know that it was precisely because her mother had experienced such pain and spent over ten years healing her emotional wounds that she instilled this concept in her daughter since childhood to prevent her from repeating the same mistake.
This was also a form of maternal love. After all, in a family like the Yangs, Yang Hui's future husband would undoubtedly not be an ordinary person. Caring too much would only hurt herself.
Yang Hui's answer left Yan Rubing stunned, as did Yang Fan, Mu Xiaoyu, and Gu Yunting, who was watching the scene unfold.
For men, this answer was practically the dream woman they had always wished for.
"In the future, I'll also ask my mom to find me a considerate woman as a wife," Gu Yunting vowed silently in his heart, then spoke up when he heard his name mentioned.
"I wasn't harassing you. Your friend isn't saying much. You're meddling too much."
As for Yang Fan, he felt that it was a pity for such a woman to be with such a dissolute young master.
It was like a beautiful flower planted in cow dung. Although the other party was handsome, he didn't have a sincere heart for this woman.
Yan Rubing couldn't believe that in modern society, there were still women with such traditional ideas.
"Hopeless," Yan Rubing took a deep breath and uttered four words.
