143: Chapter 139: Collecting a Fee 143: Chapter 139: Collecting a Fee Throughout the al, both host and guest were delighted.
After the al, they moved to the living room sofa, where Ye Fan and Zhao Lina’s father continued their pleasant conversation, with Zhao Lina’s mother occasionally chiming in with a few words, all in good cheer and laughter.
In the midst of their conversation, Ye Fan realized that Zhao Lina’s father was very knowledgeable and well-read, with a deep understanding of various subjects, and possessed very high political acun, not unlike his own father.
Talking with him, Ye Fan felt as if “A conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study.”
Fortunately, the education he had received since childhood was different from that of most people.
He knew much more than his peers, and thanks to his long-standing determination and independent yet mainstream thinking, he was just able to keep up with Zhao Lina’s father.
Had it been soone else, they might have exposed their shallowness in just a few words, embarrassed and unable to respond properly.
Zhao Lina’s parents were very pleased with Ye Fan, even a bit surprised.
Especially since they already knew about Ye Fan’s background, they found him to be precious and saw great potential in him for the future.
Zhao Lina, seeing Ye Fan getting on well with her parents and winning their approval, though she didn’t say much, wore an involuntary, gorgeous smile on her beautiful face.
It was around nine o’clock when Ye Fan felt an urgent need to pee and excused himself to go to the bathroom.
“Lina, your boyfriend is quite good,” Zhao Lina’s father said with a smile, “Although he’s two or three years younger than you, your father approves of you two continuing to see each other.”
Zhao Lina felt a burst of happiness upon hearing her normally stern and strict father praise Ye Fan, but in the next mont, she felt despondent.
Because she suddenly rembered that Ye Fan, her boyfriend, was fake!
This annoying guy knew it was all pretend, just to get through the night, yet he made such an effort to make my parents so happy.
Isn’t this making trouble for nothing?
It will be a hassle when it cos ti to “break up”!
With that thought, she began to feel a bit annoyed with Ye Fan.
“Yeah, why didn’t you bring him ho earlier for us to et?” Zhao Lina’s mother also said with a smile, with a slight hint of reproach in her tone.
Zhao Lina forced a smile and said, “I was afraid he wouldn’t et your expectations.
His background is really not that good.
Actually, he is not usually as good as he was tonight.
What you saw tonight was all an act, you must not be fooled by him.”
Zhao Lina’s father was unconvinced, “His background and education may be lacking, but it’s the person that matters.
No need to ask if a hero cos from humble beginnings.
He is still young, if there cos a day he is willing to be ambitious, with your father’s resources to help him, his future achievents are bound not to be bad.”
My goodness, how did the conversation turn to marriage?
No, I have to hurry and kick that annoying guy out!
It would be a disaster if that annoying guy took this opportunity to cling to .
With this thought, she could no longer sit still and imdiately stood up, saying, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Zhao Lina’s parents smiled knowingly and said, “Go ahead.”
Zhao Lina knew her parents must have misunderstood, but she couldn’t worry about that now.
She walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Zhao Lina’s ho was not small, and the corridor in front of the bathroom was out of the line of sight from the living room.
Zhao Lina, fuming, approached the bathroom just in ti to hear the sound of the toilet flushing behind the frosted glass door.
She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, causing the fabric across her chest to tense and look like it was about to burst, and waited for Ye Fan to co out.
Soon, the bathroom door opened, and Ye Fan ca out.
Seeing Zhao Lina actually waiting outside, Ye Fan was slightly surprised and smiled, “Heh, you’re also in a hurry to use the restroom?
Please, go ahead.”
Looking at the smile on Ye Fan’s face, Zhao Lina couldn’t help getting angry.
Suddenly, she grabbed Ye Fan’s collar and pushed him against the corridor wall, suppressing her voice, she gritted her teeth and said, “Ye Fan, what are you up to?
You know full well we’re a fake couple, so why are you going all out to please my parents?
What are you trying to do?!”
“I have no intention of pleasing your parents,” Ye Fan said calmly.
Zhao Lina’s pretty face turned frosty as she snorted coldly, “None?
Stop making excuses in front of !
Don’t forget, I’m a police officer.
No one can lie in front of !
Let tell you, trying so hard to please my parents is pointless, because I could never fall for soone like you!”
Ye Fan’s expression darkened, and suddenly, he flipped over, grabbing Zhao Lina’s wrists and pinning them to the wall, spreading her arms apart.
Zhao Lina imdiately struggled fiercely, but Ye Fan unceremoniously used his whole body to press her tightly against him, rendering her unable to move.
Zhao Lina struggled violently for a mont, then slowly the strength of her struggles waned and gradually stopped.
However, in the end, she turned her flushed face aside, breathing heavily.
Maintaining a stern expression, Ye Fan said in a deep voice, “Don’t flatter yourself!
If you hadn’t co to asking to dine at your house, I wouldn’t bother chatting with your parents here.
You think talking to your dad doesn’t kill my brain cells?
Don’t have kindness repaid with ingratitude.”
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he waited for Zhao Lina to retort, but, to his surprise, she didn’t utter a word, totally out of character for her.
“Hey, say sothing,” he couldn’t help but remind Zhao Lina.
“Ah!” Zhao Lina regained a trace of her senses from that strange feeling and called out weakly, “Obnoxious guy, let go!”
“Of course, I’ll let you go.
Since you don’t welco as a guest in your house, I, Ye Fan, am not without sha.
I will leave soon,” Ye Fan said.
He had received his paynt, so it was best to leave while things were good, lest Zhao Lina really beco enraged out of embarrassnt.
Then, Ye Fan quickly retreated a few steps, releasing the pressure on Zhao Lina’s body while still bracing for her potential violent reaction.
However, against his expectations, Zhao Lina didn’t lash out at him.
Instead, she lowered her head and dashed into the restroom, slamming the door shut.
Looking at the frosted glass door, Ye Fan clicked his tongue twice, a mischievous smile creeping onto his face as he thought, “That really was satisfying.
Oh man, was I being a bit lecherous?
*cough cough* Let’s not make a habit of this, let’s not make a habit of this.”
Taming his mischievous grin, he straightened out his rumpled clothes, then turned and walked back to the living room to continue chatting with Zhao Lina’s parents.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Lina returned.
Her pretty face was calm, as if nothing had happened, but she deliberately avoided looking at Ye Fan.
After Zhao Lina ca back, Ye Fan chatted with her parents for a few more minutes.
Rembering that he had told Zhao Lina he would leave soon, he stood up and took his leave, “Uncle, auntie, it was my first ti visiting you, and I had a great ti talking.
However, it’s getting late, so I’ll not keep you from your rest.”
It was already nine-thirty, and Zhao Lina’s parents didn’t insist on him staying.
Zhao Lina’s mother escorted him to the door, warmly saying, “Xiao Ye, co over for dinner again in two or three days.”
“Hehe, thank you, uncle and auntie, for your hospitality.
I will,” Ye Fan replied with a smile, “Goodbye, auntie.”
“Hehe, goodbye,” Zhao Lina’s mother said with a smile, reminding him, “Be careful on your way ho.”
