Chapter 83 Taking You Home to Meet the Parents
Ling Fan finished treating Su Qiong at the hotel and was then dragged out by the two women to treat them to a meal, as he had promised to do so after running off halfway last time.
Seeing that there was still time, he willingly accompanied them. It was indeed because of his tardiness today that Su Qiong had suffered so much, and Zi Qiong had almost disbanded, which made him feel extremely guilty.
When they had almost finished eating and were parting ways, it was already late. Remembering he hadn't returned home last night, he immediately hurried back.
At the doorstep of his home, Ling Fan felt somewhat guilty, recalling what had transpired with Yun Fei, and had quite the headache, not knowing how to explain.
Upon entering stealthily, he found Xiao Chubing had already changed into comfortable clothes, her fair and slender legs crossed, sitting on the sofa with her arms folded.
Seeing Ling Fan enter, she cleared her throat, "You're back?"
Ling Fan, sensing the atmosphere was not too good, responded with a dry laugh, "Heh heh, I was held up with some things during the day, just finished!"
"Yun Fei came looking for me today," Xiao Chubing said flatly.
Upon hearing that, Ling Fan felt a slight tremor in his heart, and thought to himself that today was indeed out of the ordinary. As expected!
"Uh..." Ling Fan bowed his head in silence.
Seeing this, Xiao Chubing asked with annoyance, "What do you mean by 'uh'?"
Ling Fan, breaking out in sweat, replied, "That...I'm sorry...It was a matter of necessity, I had no choice..."
"I want to know, aside from me and Yun Fei, are there other women in your life!" Xiao Chubing pressed.
Ling Fan weakly said, "Before 'marrying' you, there were a few, but you're the only lawful one!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chubing almost fainted, realizing that this guy's romantic past was quite rich and started doubting whether marrying Ling Fan was the right or wrong decision.
"Among these women, what place do I hold!" Xiao Chubing bit her lip gently.
Thick-skinned, Ling Fan squeezed over and firmly clasped Xiao Chubing's shoulders, "To hold your hand and grow old with you, irreplaceable!"
A mysterious tremor rose in Xiao Chubing's heart, and her nose felt slightly sour.
"I'd rather believe in ghosts in this world than the sweet nothings from a man's mouth!" Xiao Chubing turned her head and pouted.
Seeing this, Ling Fan let out a sigh of relief, realizing he should strike while the iron was hot. Hearing his wife's tone, he put in one more effort, and the anger might just extinguish.
Immediately, he bent down to lift her up, "Wife, it's getting late, let's go upstairs and rest!"
Hugging Ling Fan's neck with her face slightly red, Xiao Chubing whispered in his ear, pressing her lips together, "You better not stand me up tonight. If you don't make grandma here happy, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Ling Fan's body stiffened, "..."
Upstairs in the bedroom.
Xiao Chubing snuggled into Ling Fan's embrace and pinched his waist hard, making Ling Fan grimace in pain.
"I'll let you off tonight, knowing your energy has been drained. I'll give you a day to recover," Xiao Chubing said with a hint of grievance.
Ling Fan inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like he couldn't take any more.
"Oh right, I have something to tell you. My company is too busy, so I asked Liu Yuqiong for help. However, she also wants to ask you for help. I told her I needed to get your opinion and didn't agree outright," Xiao Chubing spoke up.
Ling Fan asked curiously, "What is it? Tell me about it!"
"Her father, Liu Xiangyang, had an old enemy seeking vengeance come to the door. She wants you to protect them for a few days," Xiao Chubing explained.
Ling Fan nodded, "You really need her help, don't you?"
"Yeah! If it's too much trouble, let it be. She would still help me if I ask her to," Xiao Chubing replied.
Ling Fan shook his head, "It's not a big deal for me. She's your best friend; it's only right to help when she's in trouble. Besides, you always have to pay back what you owe others!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Mhm, thank you, hubby. But while you can help, you're not allowed to mess with her!" Xiao Chubing warned, puffing her little mouth.
Ling Fan immediately promised, "Don't worry, wife. Even if she hits on me, I surely won't accept!"
Xiao Chubing snorted softly, "I'll trust you this time. Let's sleep, she'll come over to find you in the morning!"
Ling Fan agreed, "Lights out!"
Xiao Chubing, like an octopus, clung onto Ling Fan, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, as the two of them were just getting ready, they saw Liu Yuqiong pulling up to their villa in a white Audi.
Stepping out of the car into the courtyard, she loudly greeted, "Chu Bing, is your husband home? What about the matter we discussed yesterday?"
Entering the living room and seeing Ling Fan, her eyes lit up; she had been curious about Ling Fan since their last encounter.
Because of busy matters, she hadn't found the opportunity to gossip about it, but after hearing numerous rumors, her curiosity grew even stronger.
Looking at her best friend acting like a live wire, Xiao Chubing said without a good temper, "He agreed. I have to go to work now. You two chat first!"
Liu Yuqiong grinned upon hearing this, "I knew you'd treat me the best, go ahead with your work!"
Then, turning to Ling Fan, she called out, "You come with me, I'll take you to meet my parents!"
Ling Fan, "..."s
Xiao Chubing, "...."
"Ah... I misunderstood, I've got to introduce you to my dad, otherwise he keeps arranging all kinds of random people for me!" Liu Yuqiong felt the misinterpretation in her words and quickly clarified.
