Lin Fan noticed Qiu Ruohan's tone was sowhat odd and raised his eyebrows in surprise, asking, "Did sothing happen?"
"It's nothing major..." Qiu Ruohan hesitated, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Feel free to speak your mind, are you worried your Lin would be bothered by it?" Lin Fan was full of curiosity.
"Lin... I'm about to have a birthday, and so classmates are throwing a birthday banquet for . Do you... do you have ti?"
Qiu Ruohan worried she might disrupt Lin Fan's work, like a flustered little bunny, hurriedly said, "If Lin is busy, that's okay. I didn't really want to celebrate this birthday. It's them who insisted on hosting the birthday banquet for ."
Lin Fan was amused by Qiu Ruohan's innocence and chuckled, easily discerning her eagerness for him to co back and celebrate her birthday with her.
Lin Fan smiled and asked, "When is the birthday banquet?"
"It's tonight," Qiu Ruohan replied.
"Alright, I'll hurry back now and contact you when I arrive in East Sea," Lin Fan agreed with a smile.
"Okay, Lin, thank you." Qiu Ruohan's voice couldn't hide her excitent.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Ruohan looked at her cell phone, unable to help recalling their first eting when he taught her the tips to apply as a flight attendant and jokingly called himself "husband," which made her blush like a ripe red apple then.
Lin Fan had wandered the world for years, having seen many won, but Qiu Ruohan's innocence indeed gave Lin Fan a unique feeling, like a simple dish of tofu with chives after indulging in rich gourt ats.
"What a simple and cute silly girl."
Lin Fan laughed silently in his heart.
...
Ti flew by, dusk.
In East Sea City, at Ruofan Beauty Salon!
A bunch of pretty girls surrounded a sofa, the girl in the middle had a happy smile on her face.
She wore a white dress embroidered with blue patterns, like a cluster of colorful butterflies.
Her black hair hung over her shoulders, her charming face adorned with light makeup, yet it couldn't conceal her natural allure, without any seductive flair or materialistic overtones, like a lotus flower erging pristine from the mud!
"Hanhan, what's the update? Is that boyfriend of yours coming or not?" Said a slightly chubby girl, not particularly breathtaking, rely average.
The girl was Li Tiantian, a university classmate of Qiu Ruohan, as were the other two girls.
"Hmph! Making a mystery of it all, is he so kind of male god?" Liu Pan puckered her lips.
"I'm really curious about your mysterious boyfriend. I want to see what precious gift he'll present to our campus belle, Qiu Ruohan!"
The speaker was Liu Yiyi, whose appearance was average, yet she was extravagantly dressed with dark makeup and deep purple eyeliner, presenting a seductive allure.
She carried a limited edition Chanel bag on her shoulder, donned an expensive diamond watch on her wrist, and wore an arrogant expression, although none of it was earned by herself; she was instead kept by a wealthy young man.
This woman was arrogant since childhood, looked down on people at school, and stopped at nothing to find a wealthy partner, utilizing all sorts of cheap tricks; she looked at the plainly dressed Li Tiantian, who ca from a less affluent background, with disdain and even contempt.
If it wasn't for a special task she had, she wouldn't have been bothered to attend Qiu Ruohan's birthday banquet.
"Lin is not my boyfriend at all, don't say such nonsense." Qiu Ruohan said, blushing.
"Since he's not your boyfriend, there's no guarantee he'll co! Let
tell you, Qiu Ruohan, Mr. Liu is so good to you, yet you stubbornly refuse. If you stayed with him, you'd have endless money in the future."
"Even if you wish to continue running the beauty salon, Mr. Liu could easily spend millions to buy this salon and gift it to you; still better than earning ten thousand or eight thousand a month as a humble manager!"
Liu Yiyi looked at her as if scolding for being hopeless.
Qiu Ruohan opened her mouth, hesitant to disclose the terrifying monthly revenue of the beauty salon, nor the fact that she was also one of its shareholders!
"Liu Yiyi, are you pretending to be dumb, or are you really dumb? That bastard Liu Chao is already married. Do you want Ruohan to be like you, a mistress?" Li Tiantian said indignantly.
"Li Tiantian, what do you an? Who says I'm a mistress? What I have is true love; Song Zhong is about to divorce his wife to marry !" Liu Yiyi's face turned livid.
"That's still ruining soone's marriage." Li Tiantian pouted.
"Say one more stupid word, and I'll rip your mouth!" Liu Yiyi shouted, raising her hand, almost ready to slap Li Tiantian's face.
"Today is Ruohan's birthday, whatever issues you have, keep them down, and don't ruin the mood." Liu Pan hurriedly stopped them.
Qiu Ruohan stood in front of Liu Yiyi, timidly saying, "Yiyi, please, for my sake."
Liu Yiyi coldly snorted, but rembering her assigned task for the day, she withheld from tearing apart her relationship with Qiu Ruohan, filled with anger, wondering what was so special about this little brat Qiu Ruohan to make Mr. Liu treat her so well!
Liu Yiyi arrogantly adjusted her collar, saying, "I won't stoop to the level of peasant behavior."
"You..."
"What's going on? Why's it so lively?"
Just then, a hearty laugh was heard.
The girls all turned their heads simultaneously to see two young n entering the beauty salon.
Leading the way was Liu Chao, who looked extrely handso, wearing a perfectly tailored suit, and sporting a deliberately styled haircut.
The million-dollar diamond watch on his wrist, exposed his wealthy status, every woman's ideal dream partner!
Following him was Liu Yiyi's "husband" Yang Shaotian.
Upon spotting them, Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, she quickly approached and greeted "Mr. Liu" before throwing herself into Yang Shaotian's arms.
"Ruohan, happy birthday."
Liu Chao walked to Qiu Ruohan, presenting a delicate gift box to her, his eyes revealing a silver sheen as he took in her charming face.
In fact, Liu Chao had been eyeing Qiu Ruohan since school days; her fragility was a fatal attraction to any man, evoking a desire to possess her.
However, Liu Chao pursued relentlessly but fruitlessly, eventually marrying a wealthy wife after graduation. Unfortunately, she was akin to a pig, and Liu Chao plotted ruthlessly to seize all her assets, indirectly leading to the death of his in-laws, planning afterward to kick his current wife aside.
Just days ago, Liu Chao had randomly encountered Qiu Ruohan again, his buried desire rekindling.
Learning she was still single, living with hardship, he started aggressively wooing her, intending to keep her as his lover, with Liu Yiyi acting as a go-between!
