"I’m off, wait for my good news."
As they were about to part, Ke Yunan smiled and took a docunt bag from the trunk, tossing it onto Lin Fan’s passenger seat, "You’re a leader now, rember to pay in cash as much as possible in the future. This money is for you to spend, consider it your hardship fee for these past few days."
"Big boss, aren’t we being a bit too formal?"
Lin Fan chuckled as he looked at the docunt bag, which contained stacks of cash, easily amounting to two hundred thousand if not more.
"This is at most pocket money. Buy so good food to nourish yourself. In case things don’t work out, I’ll be doubling it back from you next month."
Dressed in professional attire, Ke Yunan now embodied the image of a formidable female lead, her confident smile at the corners of her mouth contrasting starkly with the sight of her crying in bed. It had to be said that this woman’s duality was no less than that of a man’s.
"Just rember, you’re only allowed to cry on my shoulder."
Lin Fan gazed at Ke Yunan’s flushed, blooming beauty. She had cried again this morning, looking so gorgeously stirring. It was his first ti seeing a woman who loved to cry so much, and the contrast was just overwhelming.
"Stop it."
Ke Yunan gave Lin Fan a lovingly annoyed roll of her eyes before she got in her car and drove straight to the Provincial City. On her way, she reflected on how a simple investnt eting had led her to give herself to a man she hardly knew. But each ti she thought of his unrestrained presence over her, she couldn’t help but touch her stomach and wonder if she could have his child.
After seeing off the investigation team, Lin Fan felt he had fulfilled his mission. He sat for a while in County Magistrate Luan’s office before heading to the County Hospital. His father’s leg was still in a cast. The doctor said he could be discharged for ho rest, but Lin Fan insisted they stay longer. His mother had various senior ailnts needing treatnt, and the most crucial reason was his father’s injury—it was the best thod to settle the score with Cai Xuliang. To ensure a conviction, they needed to stay a bit longer.
Having dealt with everything, Lin Fan was ready to drive back to the city. But at that mont, a video call ca in. To his surprise, it was from Yao Wan Jiao, the beauty he had just added a few days ago. They had occasionally chatted on WeChat, and he hadn’t expected her to call him via video right then. He pressed the answer button.
"Mayor Lin, aren’t you planning to co back to the city this weekend?"
In the video, Yao Wan Jiao wore a duckbill hat, her delicate facial features frad by soft and loving eyes.
"I just finished with the county’s work and am about to head back. What’s up?"
Lin Fan, holding his phone and walking toward the parking lot, curiously watched Yao Wan Jiao. He had always made it a point not to get too close to this assertive yet sowhat clingy tall beauty, afraid of getting stuck in a quagmire.
"I’m free this afternoon and was wondering if you’d like to co out for so shopping and dinner with . Would Mayor Lin grace with his presence?"
Yao Wan Jiao, smiling at Lin Fan, had been quite forward in the past while.
"I was just about to ask if the great beauty Yao had ti to join for shopping. To think you’d beat to it."
Lin Fan said with a laugh, "Since we’re so in tune, why not guess what great al I’m going to treat you to tonight?"
"Let think... is it Beef Wellington?"
"No!"
"Then a French feast?"
"If you can’t guess it’s crayfish, you might as well keep guessing indefinitely."
"Hahaha..."
Lin Fan’s response made Yao Wan Jiao laugh so hard she nearly cried. It was the first ti a guy had asked her to eat at a street stall, an exciting new experience for her, especially given Lin Fan’s sense of humor, which delighted her greatly. After they set a eting place, Lin Fan drove towards the city area.
In the absence of certainty about the other person’s identity and intentions, Lin Fan wouldn’t drive his million-dollar luxury car to et up, so upon returning to the city, he imdiately switched back to his second-hand BYD and hurried to the agreed-upon spot.
"I’m here!"
Upon reaching the City Art Troupe’s gates, Yao Wan Jiao waiting there imdiately ran over with a smile and a wave.
She wore a black duckbill hat, her dark hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her outfit consisted of a black, belly-baring T-shirt that revealed a slender waist and delicate collarbones, and a hint of a toned, flat stomach, radiating youthful energy and confidence. Her fair skin glowed charmingly under the sunlight, and she paired this with a pair of jeans that perfectly outlined her beautiful, long legs. As she approached, she beca a dazzling part of the autumn scenery, captivating the onlookers’ gaze.
"Is it not quite fitting for to pick you up in this kind of car here?"
Lin Fan looked at the cars parked outside the Art Troupe—rcedes and BMWs were common, and the least valuable among them could buy ten of his second-hand BYDs.
"Cars are for driving; luxury cars can’t fly. I don’t mind, so what’s there for you to feel inferior about?"
Yao Wan Jiao smiled as she buckled her seatbelt, "Since you’re treating to such a generous dinner tonight, how about I treat you to a movie this afternoon? There’s a pretty good one that just ca out; I heard it’s worth watching."
