Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Did You Two Kiss Behind My Back?

In the underground garage.

Lin Fan was sitting in the car as agreed.

Before long, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Yang Linglong, dressed in jeans, looked around to check that no one was there.

Then she opened the car door and slid in.

"My precious, did you miss me at all!"

Yang Linglong, who had thrown herself into Lin Fan’s arms, looked up at him with a giggle.

"Missing you is a given, but I’ve noticed something’s off with you."

Lin Fan squinted his eyes and pinched Yang Linglong’s cheek.

"What’s off about me?"

Yang Linglong looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled expression.

"There’s a lipstick mark on your face, and the lipstick on your mouth is smeared."

Lin Fan lifted Yang Linglong’s chin with his finger.

"Tell me, have you two been kissing behind my back?"

"Cut it out."

Yang Linglong stuck out her tongue, "We grew up together, we’ve bathed together since we were kids, giving a peck on the cheek is totally normal. We even made a pact that if we couldn’t find decent men, we’d pair up together."

"So thrilling? Shall I sleep in the middle then?"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"In your dreams!"

Yang Linglong rolled her eyes at him, "You married man, still drooling over my bestie. Better watch out, or her husband might kill you."

"Maybe her husband wouldn’t mind."

Lin Fan had a mischievous grin on his face.

Having a wife and a girlfriend who are best friends.

This definitely adds some excitement.

"Knock it off, even the most loveless marriages wouldn’t hand over a wife to someone else. And you think I’m a fake? Keep having those wild thoughts, and I’ll tear your ear off."

Yang Linglong pouted her lips, pinching Lin Fan’s ear.

Of course, this was just intimate joking between spouses.

She wasn’t serious.

"You’re murdering your own husband."

Lin Fan pretended to be in pain and collapsed into Yang Linglong’s arms.

His hands, naturally, didn’t miss the chance to take advantage.

"Stop it, don’t touch randomly."

Yang Linglong’s mouth curved into a happy smile.

She hit Lin Fan lightly.

Now that her body was not convenient, she dared not move rashly.

"Seriously though, why did you rush over to the company out of the blue and seek me out so mysteriously like some kind of secret agent meeting? Couldn’t you have just said whatever it was over the phone?"

Lying on Yang Linglong’s lap, Lin Fan looked up at her beautiful face.

If it weren’t for her health, she surely would not be allowed to wear any clothes at such a time.

"I had urgent matters to discuss with you, my parents prepared a meal at home tonight, and grandpa asked me to invite you over for dinner, which is why I came to see what you thought."

Yang Linglong looked at Lin Fan with an anxious heart.

"Of course, I would like to go, but I have an important banquet to attend tonight."

Lin Fan held Yang Linglong’s hand, "How about this, let me host tomorrow and take mom and dad out for a nice meal?"

"Stop teasing, they are my parents, you can’t just call them whatever you like."

Yang Linglong’s face instantly turned bright red with amusement.

The disappointment she had felt vanished in an instant.

"It’s only a matter of time, we’re not separating ’yours’ and ’mine’ anymore, your parents are my parents, your grandpa is my grandpa, your bestie is..."

Lin Fan said with a roguish laugh.

"...your boss, so stop daydreaming. If you dare have any more bad ideas, beware that I leave you ’short’ on parts."

Yang Linglong cut him off abruptly.

This guy’s head was always filled with all sorts of crazy ideas.

"Wow, that would wreck your own happiness."

Lin Fan replied with a wry smile.

"I could do without."

Yang Linglong stuck out her tongue, "Though I don’t have full usage rights, I could bisect it for you."

"That would leave only four inches, which isn’t great."

Lin Fan’s response made Yang Linglong flush with embarrassment.

Though their love for each other was deep.

But she was still inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Such a profoundly complex topic made her heart flutter in confusion.

Just as they were whispering sweet nothings to each other, a telephone ringtone shattered the ambiguity.

"I understand..."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Linglong’s face suddenly changed.

"What happened?"

Lin Fan looked at Yang Linglong with curiosity.

She looked so tense.

"My mom said, Liu Ruitian, Liu Ruiyun’s brother, has returned from Beijing, and he is currently with the Liu family at my house, kicking up a fuss and insisting on seeing you."

Yang Linglong looked at Lin Fan with a worried expression.

Liu Ruiyun has been mixing in Beijing these past few years.

It’s said that he has greeted and sent off many high officials and made numerous connections.

His sudden return must definitely be due to Lin Fan freezing the Liu family’s bank accounts.

"He’s just a nobody; I’m not someone who meets with just anyone. There are plenty of people who want to see me," Lin Fan replied with an eye-roll.

"But he’s at my house right now," Yang Linglong said, looking nervously at Lin Fan.

The person he didn’t take seriously was someone the Yang Family couldn’t afford to provoke.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had to swallow their pride because of Liu Ruiyun in the past.

And now his older brother has returned.

This matter would definitely not end easily.

"Fine, my parents want to see me, right? If evening won’t do, then I’ll just go home for lunch and incidentally clear out some rats and cockroaches. I just wonder how good mom’s cooking is?"

Lin Fan could naturally see Yang Linglong’s worry.

So he reluctantly pulled his hand away.

"Mom’s cooking is really good. I’ll give my family a call right now,"

Yang Linglong hurriedly straightened her jacket.

She then reseated herself in the driver’s seat.

Lin Fan stepped out of the car and picked up his phone to drop Ning Mengyao a line.

"My classmate just told me, the hydrological monitoring data is very massive, it needs to be compared one by one, and the earliest the results could come out is this afternoon. I’ll bring the material home tonight and wait for you."

Hearing that Lin Fan was leaving, Ning Mengyao naturally wouldn’t stop him.

She had already contacted the Water Resources Bureau first thing that morning.

"Okay, but I have a very important banquet tonight; I might be back late," Lin Fan said with a trace of a smile.

Ning Mengyao was now quite attentive in her search for details of her own heritage.

"It’s fine, no matter how late, I’ll wait for you. After getting the data, I can do some investigation myself, so don’t worry. And I’ve just made some inquiries with the Diving Club. Whether it’s diving equipment or boat usage information, everything is registered. I’m sure that by attacking from both sides, we will be able to find a lead," Ning Mengyao replied, determined to make a secret effort this time.

If she really could help Lin Fan solve the mystery of his heritage,

That would be a favor he’d never forget for the rest of his life.

"Alright, see you tonight," Lin Fan said, ending the call with a smile.

Then he opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Are you sure you were just asking Ning Mengyao for time off just now?"

Yang Linglong, seated at the wheel, surveyed Lin Fan with a hint of suspicion.

"Is there a problem?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Had he let something slip?

"You looked so happy, I thought you were asking for leave from your wife," Yang Linglong pouted.

It’s impossible for her not to be a little jealous.

After all, the man she loved was speaking softly and tenderly with another woman.

"Then why couldn’t it just be with one person?" Lin Fan said with a teasing smile. "Isn’t it nice, the two of you getting along so well?"

"No way!"

Yang Linglong rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, puckering her lips. "If I really stole my best friend’s husband, I’d rather be dead."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Lin Fan’s face suddenly stiffened.

Were women’s thoughts always this complex?
