Chapter 224: Faceslapping turned weird
Ling Qingyu's brows raised. She was surprised but wasn't too shocked. Which of the male protagonist's harem members were simple? The leader of one of the four great gangs sounded appealing.
Lan Xi was indeed beautiful, albeit compared to her and her girls seemed a little lacking; she was like a rose with hidden thorns.
If one were not careful in plucking off the pedal, they might harm themselves. Ling Qingyu felt the same in Lan Xi and was more certain after hearing from Yang Qingyue.
"You really dare to ask this from me. I'm quite surprised." Lan Xi sneered and stepped closer to Lin Fan and grasped his arm between her chest.
Ling Qingyu was definitely jealous of such treatment. She also wanted to enjoy the beauty's caress.
"This is Shen family's venue. Of course, I have to be meticulous with the arrangement." The staff said.
"You little one represents Shen family. I say this is my man, then he is. If you have any dissatisfaction, go ask your supervisor. Now, please excuse me." Lan Xi didn't want to waste time.
"If that's the case I cannot do anything but I'll be informing my higher up." The staff, despite frustration with leaving Lin Fan behind, sighed heavily and reminded. "And a reminder. He seems to mess around with other young ladies behind your back. I don't want Milady to suffer; please be careful when dealing with him."
Ling Qingyu broke into a wide grin, almost laughing out inside. Lin Fan glared at the staff, wishing to slap his head off. Lan Xi appeared nonchalant but delivered a cruel smile at the staff member.
As for Lin Fan's affair, she didn't bother to care. Her man had admitted the ambition to hug girls left and right. Her gaze steadied on the staff member.
Did he really think she wouldn't dare to do anything, given Shen family's event? Lan Xi spoke: "I hope you mind your own business. I'll handle my affair as I deem fit. I hope you can stay well after speaking like this to me."
Lan Xi brought Lin Fan forward and paused. "By the way, in case you don't know me well, I'm Lan Xi. Most know me as Rose, owner of the Vermilion Bar."
The staff member who was causing problems stiffened. The onlookers also stopped their discussions. It was fear. Everyone discovered this rose contained more poisonous thorns than they had expected.
Vermilion Bar might sound like a cliche; to the rich who had a wider network or anyone who were in the circle, the place belonged to one of the gangs known as Vermilion.
Since this beautiful lady stated she was the owner, she had already spoken about her identity. Her patience seemed to have waned out, dealing with this staff.
Her words sounded like a threat to everyone, showing she covered this man and would protect his shortcomings. Lin Fan cheekily smiled and pulled her by the waist, pressing close contact with his body.
Lan Xi didn't appear to reject his move and nudged her skin over his, with a look of enjoyment, raising jealousy around every man.
This unknown guy had wrapped his hand around Lan Xi. Although many were patronizing this act of eating soft rice, they were envious. How come they couldn't receive the favor of a strong woman?
Lin Fan: Soft rice? Eating soft rice is a skill.
Yang Qingyue produced a soft cough, awakening everyone. Lan Xi and Lin Fan moved their eyes on her and were immediately embarrassed.
Particularly Lan Xi, known for her fox-like mind, blushed at the thought that she threatened others in front of the officer.
And that officer wasn't ordinary. She controlled the entire prefecture police force. Although Lan Xi controlled her wording, doing so before the police chief stunned her.
Lin Fan had investigated Yang Qingyue and knew her behavior. He hoped today's act didn't attract the police eyes. If he knew this was going to happen, he wouldn't pretend to go alone and come together with Lan Xi, avoiding trouble.
He scratched the back of his head and glanced around, almost froze after noticing the crowd. Because the large commotion attracted the officers' attention, he saw SWAT members, armed and ready, standing around, observing in his direction.
Lin Fan gulped and nudged Lan Xi with his elbow, who also followed his gaze and coughed a little. In fact, Lin Fan had examined these SWAT members' abilities. His intuition told him, he could defeat them one-by-one in close combat.
But facing them in a team formation, he was sure to be repelled easily. As for capturing him after defeat, he thought impossible.
His infamous title—soldier king—earned while serving as a mercenary wasn't for nothing. He had seen the SWAT units, Ling Qingyu's guards, in a formation, displaying perfect teamwork and training.
For instance, among 5 of those who seemed to surround him, three of them had their hands on the firearms while the two took out non-lethal devices. One took out the taser; the other held a pepper spray. This all happened after Lan Xi spoke.
Lin Fan speculated based on the discipline and the feeling he had, lacking experience might be the only disadvantage these SWAT members showed. Even then, after observing the video feed of their battle against the gangs, baptized in the hell of bullets, Lin Fan found it hard to point out.
Lan Xi fixed her words to avoid, leaving a handle behind. Before, where would they give a shit about the police? Yang Qingyue's takeover had increased pressure on them.
"Well, I'm saying it so that the young gentleman knows, I care about my reputation so much so that I don't bother to make a lie." Lan Xi said, giving an excuse to state that she wasn't threatening others.
Lin Fan hugged harder as if declaring to the world, that Lan Xi was his. And Lan Xi was also cooperative, stroking his chest teasingly. The men were enraged. If not for Lan Xi's name, they would have fought hard to smash this Lin Fan.
Seeing the crowds' reaction and ignoring the couple's behavior, Yang Qingyue nodded, satisfied with her prestige. Ling Qingyu snorted as she removed her gaze from Lan Xi reluctantly. Anyway, she still had so many beauties around her. What's wrong with leaving one to Lin Fan?
Lin Fan heard Ling Qingyu humphed and looked over, only to see Ling Qingyu dragging away the rest of her girls.
His lips curled up at the thought of seeing Ling Qingyu getting jealous of Lan Xi. She, who really wanted to separate so much, had dissolute thought and even couldn't stand someone near him.
Perhaps this young master's action on that day had charmed her, Lin Fan thought narcissistically.
Hmph! Woman! They only knew when to cherish when they lost one. Lan Xi's presence had aroused her competitiveness. It seems a good show will happen soon. Continue reading at m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
Fortunately, Ling Qingyu couldn't read minds. Otherwise, she would have tripped over and embarrassed herself in public. Ling Qingyu would shove the middle finger regardless of the public occasion.
Ling Qingyu leaving in a rage puzzled the girls, including Yang Qingyue. Not many knew Lin Fan was her ex-fiancee, except Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, who understood she would never like men.
But if others knew, they would even regard her behavior as a jealous woman in a vinegar.
