Cultivation Pet Shop

In his haste, his voice came out much louder than he had intended.

With how loud he had shouted his "confession", he had attracted the attention of almost everyone in the store.

When everyone looked over at these two kids, they couldn\'t help revealing smiles because every single one of them had had childhood romances like this before. Some were embarrassing and some were the best memories for them, but all of them could relate to this situation.

Not to mention that these two kids really did make a cute scene, so they all waited for Song Shu\'s response.

But Song Shu\'s response was one that had disappointed them, completely crushing Qiang Ben\'s heart.

Without any hesitation at all, Song Shu said, "I\'m sorry, I can\'t accept this, you\'re not my type."

Qiang Ben\'s love had been shut down before it could even bloom and he was left standing there with a stunned look on his face. But he didn\'t let that get to him for long as he quickly recovered from his stupor.

But since he was too immature and also too much in a panic, he couldn\'t help raising his voice as it cracked a bit as he almost shouted, "Why?"

Song Shu was surprisingly calm compared to how she had acted earlier as she said, "I just like another type of person. It\'s not that there\'s something wrong with you, but I just don\'t like you. Plus, we just met each other, so I can\'t really just say yes, can I?"

Her words were very reasonable, but Qiang Ben was too worked up to listen to reason right now.

Qiang Ben just said, "What kind of person do you like? I can be that kind of person."

Song Shu couldn\'t help taking a step back when she saw this and she said, "I\'m sorry, but can you please calm down?"

Qiang Ben was about to take a step forward, but then he felt someone\'s hand suddenly fall on his shoulder.

Qiang Ben quickly turned and wanted to shout at that person to go away, but then he saw that it was his grandfather Qiang You. He couldn\'t help revealing an embarrassed smile as he slowly began calming down, realizing what he had just down.

Actually, if Qiang You hadn\'t stopped him in time, there would have been much worse consequences, so he couldn\'t help wiping the sweat off his head. Especially after seeing the look on Angela\'s face.

Angela\'s face was so cold that they could freeze a man solid and those eyes almost seemed like she wanted to tear Qiang Ben apart.

Qiang Ben slowly calmed down and took a deep breath before saying, "I\'m sorry, I got a little too excited. Can you forgive me?"

Song Shu looked up at Qiang You and naturally she recognized him. She didn\'t want to cause any problems for Lin Fan, so she said, "It\'s alright." But she didn\'t give him a single chance to say a thing as she moved behind the counter, where Lin Fan and Angela were standing.

Qiang Ben wanted to follow her, but Qiang You didn\'t let him.

While he believed in his grandson\'s abilities, he knew that he was also still immature as shown by how he had lost control just now. If he were to let him go over now, there was no telling what kind of punishment he would receive.

Only after Qiang Ben had fully calmed down did Qiang You bring him over to the counter.

Qiang You cupped his hands and said, "I\'m sorry about that display just now, Owner Lin, my grandson is still young, so it\'s easy for him to lose control."

Lin Fan naturally was still angry about what had happened, but he still nodded after giving a snort.

Song Shu felt bad since she knew that this was partially her fault, so she came forward to say, "I\'m sorry about any problems that I\'ve caused, I didn\'t mean it."

Qiang Ben\'s heart couldn\'t help skipping a beat and then skipping another beat when he saw the sad look on her face. The urge to protect her surged inside of him as he said, "No, no, it\'s not your fault, it was my fault for losing control."

Song Shu looked up at him with a sad look and said, "Is that true?"

Qiang Ben didn\'t even hesitate as he said, "Of course, it\'s all my fault."

Qiang You couldn\'t help shaking his head at this as he finally began doubting his grandson. Was he perhaps too immature?

He had been rejected and now he was even apologizing to the person who had rejected him.

He really couldn\'t help feeling a bit ashamed when he saw this.

p As for Qiang Ben, his eyes had never left Song Shu\'s face. He had been staring at her in a daze the entire time.

But it was only now that he chose to have sharper senses as he noticed that Song Shu\'s eyes couldn\'t help drifting over to Lin Fan beside her.

When he saw the way she looked at him, he could immediately tell that this wasn\'t a normal gaze. He couldn\'t help feeling a bit of discomfort when he saw this and it felt like his chest was stuffed up.

After a few seconds, there was something that clicked in his mind as he realized something…

Qiang Ben couldn\'t help immediately shouting out, "So it\'s you! You\'re the one that she likes!"

Everyone turned over once again when they heard Qiang Ben shouting as they all knew that this kid was quite interesting.

Qiang Ben didn\'t waste any time as he came forward to the counter that was still too high for him and he pointed at Lin Fan as he shouted, "So you\'re the one that took her from me! I won\'t forgive you for this!"

Lin Fan was completely confused by Qiang Ben\'s sudden outburst, but Song Shu\'s face had turned completely red when she heard this.

Song Shu quickly came forward with a bright red face as she waved her hands, "You\'re wrong, you\'re wrong, it\'s not like that at all! I just admire Owner Lin, it\'s not like that at all!"

Everyone at first had thought that Qiang Ben\'s words were that of a child who refused to give up, but now that they saw how strongly Song Shu reacted, they couldn\'t stop the doubt from filling their minds.

Could it be that the owner of the store really did like young girls?...

Lin Fan had viewed Song Shu as a daughter, so naturally he didn\'t see her in that manner. It also clouded his views of Song Shu\'s reaction, which he thought was just her trying to help him, which warmed his heart.

In truth, even Qiang You couldn\'t help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look because he could tell that Lin Fan was clearly too young to be this little girl\'s father and he didn\'t see any other adults around…

Could it be that Owner Lin really was into that kind of stuff?

Lin Fan looked around and he saw the way that everyone look at him…

Why did everyone always think this?

It had been this way when he had brought Song Shu back to the Mu Manor back in Green Wood City and now it was even this way in Rock Mountain City. Did he really look like he was into young girls?

While Lin Fan was complaining about the way others looked at him in his heart, Qiang Ben suddenly came forward to shout, "I challenge you! I want to duel you for...Um, miss, what was your name again?"

Qiang Ben suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

He had been so taken by her that he hadn\'t even asked her name yet!

Song Shu was too busy to hear this as she had only heard the first part. She began looking back and forth between Lin Fan and Qiang Ben as her heart skipped a beat while filling with expectation. She was hoping that Lin Fan would really fight for her…

Lin Fan just ignored Qiang Ben like the kid he was and turned to Qiang You with a helpless look, "President Qiang, can you please bring your grandson away. He is disturbing my business."

It was only then that Qiang You was pulled back from his thoughts. There was a flash of a strange look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan, but that strange look quickly disappeared as he grabbed Qiang Ben by the back of the collar. He said with an apologetic smile, "Of course, of course. I\'m very sorry about my grandson, Owner Lin. He\'s still young, so he easily loses control of himself."

Then he turned to look at Qiang Ben to glare at him, but Qiang Ben didn\'t see this at all as he continued to shout, "Duel! Duel! I want a duel for the fair maiden\'s hand!"

Qiang You could only shake his head when he saw this, but he didn\'t stay here any longer as he pulled his grandson out of Lin Fan\'s store.

As he pulled Qiang Ben away, Qiang Ben continued to shout out at Lin Fan for his duel, but he was completely ignored.

Song Shu was still looking at Lin Fan, but now there was a tinge of disappointment in her heart.

The customers that were still in the store looked at Lin Fan with various kinds of gazes.

Lin Fan\'s eyes swept over them and they all quickly turned away.

To his side, Angela had somehow lost her cold demeanor and now had a faint smile on her lips. For some reason, she really enjoyed seeing Lin Fan flustered like this. It was almost...cute.

After that display from Qiang Ben, she had completely treated him as a child and completely ignored his confession from before. But that didn\'t mean that she would give up Song Shu that easily.

This was just a small interlude in their days of peace.
