126: Chapter 122 Candlelight Dinner 126: Chapter 122 Candlelight Dinner They sang until midnight before Ye Fan and He Lian Bobo finally left the KTV. Throughout the night, He Lian Bobo didn’t sing at all. She simply listened and watched Ye Fan learn to sing. However, his rapid learning deeply impressed her, and his melodious voice captivated her. As they stepped out of the KTV, He Lian Bobo, with her pretty face turned up towards Ye Fan, had a look of admiration in her beautiful eyes. She considered herself a proud person who had never truly admired anyone, but tonight she wholeheartedly admired Ye Fan. Linking arms with Ye Fan, she suddenly felt a little worried she might not be good enough for him. They reached the parking lot and stopped in front of their car. “Okay, let’s call it a night. Be safe on the way back,” Ye Fan said. He Lian Bobo let go of Ye Fan’s arm, stood in front of him not more than ten centimeters away. “Brother Ye, I had a lot of fun tonight,” she said, and then suddenly spread her arms and hugged Ye Fan’s waist directly. Ye Fan couldn’t help but extend his arms to lightly embrace He Lian Bobo’s slender waist and smiled, “I had a great time too.” Held firmly in Ye Fan’s arms, He Lian Bobo immediately felt a sense of security as stable as a mountain. Meanwhile, the virile scent of Ye Fan intoxicated her, causing her entire body to tingle. Therefore, she hugged Ye Fan even tighter. After hugging for a while, Ye Fan released He Lian Bobo. Though He Lian Bobo was reluctant to let go, she wisely refrained from clinging and left Ye Fan’s embrace with a coquettish laugh. Her stunning face was flushed with the virile scent of a man, and her peachy eyes appeared moist and seductively boundless. “Brother Ye, goodbye.” Feeling her face burn with heat, she suspected it must be very red. So she quickly said goodbye to Ye Fan and immediately got into her car. The next day, on Wednesday morning at ten o’clock, Ye Fan suddenly received a call from Li Zhaojun, asking him to come to her office. Entering the Chairman and President’s office, Ye Fan sat on the couch with his legs crossed and glanced at Li Zhaojun, who sat on the luxurious, imposing office chair with a cold and proud look on her beautiful face. Her phoenix eyes, scrutinizing, were firmly fixed on his carelessly positioned legs. “What’s the matter? Just say it. Don’t tell me it’s another trivial issue like asking me to come home for dinner,” Ye Fan said in annoyance. He didn’t like the disdainful scrutiny in Li Zhaojun’s gaze. Li Zhaojun shifted her gaze and said, “How do you feel about working in the Administration Department?” “Terrible,” Ye Fan answered bluntly, “Too many inconsequential tasks that simply don’t suit someone like me who’s born to do great things. I strongly request to be transferred out of the Administration Department.” “Aiming too high!” Li Zhaojun retorted dismissively, “If you can’t handle small tasks, how can you expect to handle big ones?” Ye Fan countered, “Expecting a thoroughbred to pull a mill is not going to work as well as using an old donkey.” Clearly not deigning to argue with Ye Fan, Li Zhaojun changed her tone and said, “The new biomedical project is about to get underway, and before it officially starts, the group will set up a leadership team for this new project. There are two positions for you to choose from: 1. Deputy Manager of the Administration Department at the new company; 2. Deputy Manager of the Human Resources Department at the new company.” “Human Resources Department Deputy Manager!” Ye Fan exclaimed without a second thought. Li Zhaojun’s elegant brows furrowed slightly, “I was hoping you would go into the Administration Department, it would be better for your growth.” “I’m already quite skilled, if I grow any more won’t I end up becoming a national officer?” Ye Fan jestingly replied, “I’m lazy by nature, I don’t like dealing with myriad affairs, so I’ll go to the HR Department.” “Shallow! Boring!” Li Zhaojun scoffed, “Lack of ambition!” “Ha ha, thanks,” Ye Fan laughed nonchalantly. Li Zhaojun frowned and said coldly, “Shameless!” “Which happens to be one of my strengths,” Ye Fan replied. Having said that, he stood up and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m taking off. Don’t want to irritate someone by hanging around.” “The appointment notice will be issued in a few days, but before that, you must not boast about it to anyone in the group,” Li Zhaojun quickly adjusted her mood and spoke in an official tone, “From now on in the group, your identity will be that of my cousin.” “Why not ‘cousin brother’?” Ye Fan asked. “Haha, just kidding.” “Boring!” Li Zhaojun exclaimed. After five in the afternoon, Zhao Lina made a call. In the end, she caved and invited Ye Fan to a candlelight dinner that evening. Ye Fan graciously accepted. Since it was a candlelight dinner, it obviously had to be dark outside, so dinner time was set around seven-thirty. At seven-thirty, in a fancy romantic restaurant, the gentle and romantic melody of “FairyWings” echoed through the dining area as if moonlight was softly pouring into the room. Amidst the candlelight, couples sat face to face, dining and conversing in sweet, hushed tones. However, one couple was not quite in harmony—it was undoubtedly Ye Fan and Zhao Lina. To emphasize that it was just a dinner and nothing to do with romance, Zhao Lina deliberately didn’t change out of her police uniform. Clad in a neat and fitting police uniform, with a tight belt around her waist along with a holstered gun and handcuffs, and carrying her tall, upright figure with a stern expression, this attractive, busty woman made the entire hall of couples feel an imposing and stifling aura the moment she sat down, making even the moonlike flow of piano music feel less romantic. “You’re doing this out of spite,” Ye Fan said as he forcefully cut a piece from his steak cooked to eighty percent doneness, looking at Zhao Lina. Zhao Lina replied with a cold face, “You could say that.” “Are you resenting having to treat me to this meal?” Ye Fan chewed on the bit of steak he had forked into his mouth for a few moments before swallowing and muttered, “I really don’t get those Westerners, eating beef that’s thirty percent cooked and bloody. Even this eighty-percent-cooked steak seems a bit raw to me.” “No,” Zhao Lina replied. “Then why are you keeping such a tight face all the time? As if I owe you billions,” Ye Fan said. Zhao Lina replied expressionlessly, “Occupational habit.” Ye Fan shrugged in silence. After finishing his steak, Ye Fan suddenly whispered, “At your five o’clock, there’s a guy, around thirty, white shirt, hair slicked back with gel, styled in a side part. He’s been glancing over here since we came in. Isn’t he one of the thieves you’ve caught before?” “Five o’clock?” Zhao Lina’s pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed. She turned to look in the direction of five o’clock and then quickly turned her head back, her face showing a hint of panic that startled Ye Fan. “If he’s a thief and you’re a cop, you don’t need to be that scared, right?” Ye Fan said. Zhao Lina, looking very upset, replied, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? He’s my cousin, Zhao Shuailei!” (Please favorite, recommend, and support with rewards. This book’s reader group QQ: 392346004.
