"You’re back!"
When Lin Fan pushed open the door and entered the house, Li Huizhen and Li Huifang, the two sisters, imdiately ca over happily.
"Have you been drinking?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Huizhen in confusion as her cheeks were flushed.
"My aunt and uncle ca over, and we were quite happy, so I had a little red wine."
Li Huizhen quickly bent down, grabbed a pair of slippers, and placed them next to Lin Fan’s feet, presenting a caring and warm gesture.
"Brother-in-law, it seems like you drank quite a bit too. Do you want to make you so hangover soup?"
Li Huifang, with her hair in twin ponytails, looked at Lin Fan with concern as his face was also quite red.
"No need. I’m almost sober now. How’s the seafood?"
As Lin Fan put on the slippers and took off his coat, Li Huifang took it from him and hung it on a nearby rack before turning to say, "It’s quite good, all fresh. My sister and I were quite busy with it when we got back, but thanks to auntie’s efficiency, otherwise tonight’s dinner wouldn’t have been so easy."
"As long as it’s delicious."
Lin Fan smiled as he walked into the living room. At this mont, his aunt Xu Jingyi had co from the dining room. As their eyes t, her beautiful face blushed, much like Li Huizhen who had been drinking.
"Lin Fan, long ti no see. It’s been quite the trouble this ti."
Xu Jingyi, with a polite deanor, emphasized the words ’long ti no see,’ internally fearful that soone might learn about the romantic escapade the two had a few nights ago.
"Auntie, not at all. It’s rare for you to co to the city, and I’m more than happy to host you since we’re all family. Make yourself at ho and don’t be polite."
Looking at Xu Jingyi’s mature figure and her charming face, and recalling the moans from that day, Lin Fan had a playful smile on his lips. All three won in the house had shared relations with him. Today, having all of them gathered together ant if he could charm all three in one night, it would indeed be a pleasure.
At this mont, Li Huizhen had already drunk a bit, and a few more glasses would likely put her fast asleep. Li Huifang would probably be ready to embrace him without him even asking. Handling two beauties in one bed shouldn’t be a problem, but the aunt was here with her husband, so opportunities seed unlikely for now.
Just as Lin Fan was lanting the beauty within reach yet unattainable, a man’s voice suddenly ca from the dining room: "Knowing guests are at ho, you couldn’t co back earlier? So big deputy mayor you are, what could you possibly be so busy with?"
The words carried arrogance, making Lin Fan frown and glance at Xu Jingyi who also sensed the awkwardness and could only helplessly apologize: "Lin Fan, Lao Liu had a few too many drinks and lost his sense of asure. Please, don’t take it to heart."
"Auntie, it’s all family, I won’t!"
Lin Fan flashed a mischievous smile. Originally, he thought touching her might be inappropriate with her husband around, but this arrogant uncle really warranted teaching a lesson, and what better way than treating his wife well, to live up to his big deputy mayor title.
So, he entered the dining room with a smile, where forty-sothing Liu Shengrui was sitting, sizing up Lin Fan.
"Is this my uncle then? I was tied up in a dinner party and couldn’t help being late, my apologies."
Lin Fan said with a smile as he sat across him while Li Huizhen hurried to set clean tableware next to Lin Fan.
"I heard you’re a deputy mayor in Lotus Town? I’m quite close with Mayor Li, but I’ve never heard of a deputy mayor there."
Liu Shengrui leaned back arrogantly in his chair, looking down at Lin Fan from a lofty place.
"I’ve only been appointed for a few months so perhaps there hasn’t been a chance to et. May I ask what high position do you hold, uncle?"
Lin Fan feigned ignorance.
"What a coincidence, I am the director in the public affairs office of Red Flag County. How else would I be well-acquainted with your Mayor Li?"
Liu Shengrui straightened his back suddenly feeling superior: "Being young, you should cherish such opportunities to learn and focus on doing aningful work rather than spending all your ti with frivolous friends. Don’t think I don’t know how young people like you think just because you hold a title. Rember, there’s always soone better out there, cut unnecessary social engagents and focus on your career. If there’s a chance, I’ll even give you a few pointers."
"I should really thank you for looking out for then, uncle. Let honor you with a drink."
Lin Fan smiled as he let Li Huifang pour him a full glass of white wine, holding it up with both hands respectfully. The gesture seed to really please Liu Shengrui, who downed his drink in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and continued to lecture: "It’s good for a young man to have a sense of respect. Tell , who were you out drinking with just now? Let’s see the quality of your social circle. Tell about the highest-ranking person there; otherwise, I don’t recognize them. If they have a bad reputation, better cut ties with them in the future."
