Peerless Divine Doctor in the City of Flowers
Chapter 213: Wife and Girlfriend

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Wife and Girlfriend

"My dear, I still feel like I’m dreaming," she mused.

At a bustling street-side food stall.

Yang Linglong rested her cheeks in her hands.

She stared adoringly at the man sitting opposite her, Lin Fan.

Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.

"Is it a good dream or a nightmare, or maybe a spring..."

Lin Fan grinned and pinched Yang Linglong’s tender nose playfully.

"You’re hateful!"

Yang Linglong’s face turned red, bashfulness written all over it.

"I’m just curious, aren’t you a military big shot? My brother mentioned that you guys don’t get involved with local affairs and that you operate independently. How could you know so many people?"

"I met them today. Didn’t I tell you earlier? Your capitalist bestie was dining next door, and she was entertaining the heads of the big four banks. As an assistant, it shouldn’t be too difficult to leverage their connections, right?"

Lin Fan smiled and took Yang Linglong’s small hand, saying, "Moreover, nine and a half out of ten of these tech companies are scam artists, hiding behind the facade of cutting-edge technology to harvest leeks. Their iteration cycles are incredibly fast; you can catch them with your eyes closed."

"So that’s how it is!"

Hearing Lin Fan’s explanation, Yang Linglong didn’t doubt him in the least.

She never gave a second thought to how her bestie managed to invite the presidents of the big four banks.

Or why those big shots would take a stand for a mere assistant like him.

Perhaps this is just how a woman in love thinks.

With a single-minded focus.

"So, was my performance this time good enough?"

Lin Fan watched Yang Linglong with a smile.

If the previous two encounters with the Yang Family had ended on a sour note,

then after this incident,

the next time they met, the Yang Family surely wouldn’t dare to boss him around.

"Quite excellent,"

Yang Linglong shyly lowered her head.

Like a child who had done something wrong, she said, "I’m sorry, actually... I lied to you. I never planned to elope with you... I just wanted to spend some time with you, and after giving myself to you, I planned to sneak back home. I just couldn’t stand by and watch my family be in trouble... I was ready to sacrifice myself."

"Silly girl, remember this: no matter what happens, don’t think nonsense. Even if the sky falls, I’ll be there to hold it up for you," Lin Fan said, looking at her with fond indulgence.

That complete trust was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement for a man.

"I understand. I promise I won’t do anything foolish in the future,"

Yang Linglong nodded with pursed lips.

If her physical condition permitted, she would love nothing more than to pounce on Lin Fan right then and there.

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that my bestie was having dinner with the bank president. Her company’s issues should be resolved now, right?"

It was a while before Yang Linglong snapped back to reality.

Free from her family’s troubles, she began to worry about her bestie again.

"With the four bank presidents stepping in, it’s definitely solvable. Now she must be riding high and fast,"

Lin Fan said, still smiling.

With the backing of the Silver Supervision Committee’s chairman,

the big four banks would naturally go all out to support Ning Mengyao’s every decision.

Ample credit lines were more than enough for her to make her moves.

"As long as she’s alright, that’s what matters. After all, when a marriage lacks love, you have to rely on your career, right?"

Yang Linglong genuinely rejoiced for her friend.

But her words made Lin Fan frown.

"How do you know her marriage lacks love? What if they gradually develop feelings?"

"Feelings aren’t vegetables you can grow; they’re either there or they’re not. What’s there to cultivate? If it’s just a matter of growing accustomed to someone over time, at most it’s affection, not love. Definitely not the kind of love I have in mind," Yang Linglong said, expressing her personal understanding of love.

Her words drew a bittersweet smile from Lin Fan.

"Alright, stop worrying about others all the time. You need to rest early during this special period and remember to drink some brown sugar water. The dinner over there should be wrapping up soon, and I have to get back. Take good care of yourself,"

Lin Fan said affectionately as he patted Yang Linglong’s head.

Looking at the time, Ning Mengyao should be finishing up soon.

Of course, he had to return to drive her home.

"Tonight, do you need to go home and spend time with your wife?"

Yang Linglong looked at Lin Fan with reluctance.

Despite her physical inconvenience, she still hoped to be with Lin Fan every day and night.

"Yes, are you jealous?"

Lin Fan looked at Yang Linglong.

He had begun to balance the relationship between his wife and girlfriend.

"Of course not, I’m just the outsider and the bad woman. Being with you already makes me very happy. How dare I hope for everlasting love? Just remember that there’s someone like me."

Yang Linglong shook her head hastily.

She had never thought about destroying him from the start.

"I won’t forget you," Lin Fan said, gently caressing her obedient face.

Feeling somewhat disarrayed, he didn’t know what else to say.

"Alright then, I’ll take a cab home. I’ll wait for your call."

Yang Linglong stood up.

She walked towards the roadside with a carefree air.

She waved her hand, and a taxi came over.

Sitting in the car, she couldn’t help but look back.

She saw Lin Fan still standing by the roadside.

The complexity of her emotions forced her to stop clinging to him.

After all, he didn’t completely belong to her.

Although she was reluctant at heart, she still put on a nonchalant front.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for Lin Fan.

...

"Where did you go? Why didn’t you come in for a drink?"

With her cheeks flushed, Ning Mengyao staggered out of the restaurant, clearly tipsy.

In her eyes, Lin Fan seemed to sway unsteadily.

"Why have you drunk so much? Did someone force you to drink?" Lin Fan quickly steadied Ning Mengyao.

At the same time, he looked at the four major bank presidents standing aside.

"No, Mr. Ning was just in high spirits and had quite a bit to drink. We didn’t drink much," the four of them quickly waved their hands.

Having witnessed Lin Fan’s methods, they wouldn’t dare to take any liberties with Ning Mengyao.

"Okay, then I thank you in advance for taking good care of Mr. Ning’s business in the future," Lin Fan said with a smile, supporting Ning Mengyao.

Even with the reputation of Zhou Yizheng,

He still had to go through the necessary formalities.

"Ning Group is definitely an advantageous asset, and it should be our honor to cooperate. We’ve already discussed the related operational plans. Tomorrow, our four major banks will each offer a ten-billion credit line to Ning Group, and we promise to follow up with additional investments. As long as Ning Group develops, funding will certainly not be a problem," the presidents of the four major banks asserted.

Currently, Ning Group wasn’t listed and was merely a limited liability company.

Giving them a hundred billion wouldn’t lead to any significant action.

They could only support Ning Group in its expansion step by step.

This was not something that could be completed in a day and a half.

"Great, then we’ll take our leave. Let’s get together at the Medicine King House someday for tea and chat," Lin Fan said amiably to the four men.

He also handed each of them a gold card.

This was an invitation card from the Divine Doctor.

An absolute treasure that was hard to obtain.

Just this gesture alone was enough for the four men to be thoroughly convinced.

After all, that was the brand of Jiangning’s top Divine Doctor,

Far more renowned than Lin Fan’s name.
