Chapter 26: Chapter 26: The Apprentice Boyfriend and the Underground Husband

"You sneaked over to my place, aren’t you afraid your best friend will find out?"

Looking at the strikingly hot Yang Linglong, Lin Fan licked his lips.

This girl’s courage is really getting bigger.

"That’s why I can’t stay long; I have to get going soon. I came to remind you, you absolutely must not use our relationship to gain my best friend’s favor, or else I’ll look down on you."

Yang Linglong pouted.

"What relationship do we have?"

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at Yang Linglong.

"You’ve touched what shouldn’t be touched, seen what shouldn’t be seen; you tell me what our relationship is!"

Yang Linglong leaned in close, looking at Lin Fan.

This guy, having only met her twice, managed to take advantage of her already.

"That’s a bit unfair, isn’t it? You say you have a bad heart, so why do you engage in so much intense activity? You must be afraid of dying slowly, aren’t you?"

Lin Fan looked at Yang Linglong with a bitter smile.

This beauty, fiery as a flame, really was hot.

"I just want to prove that people with congenital heart defects can also participate in extreme sports. I want to train for a bigger, stronger heart."

Yang Linglong was well aware of her own condition.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t constantly carry medicine with her since childhood.

But she insisted on defying the odds, continuously challenging her own psychological limits.

"Muscles can be trained, but organs are nurtured. I’ll write you a prescription, and you can get some medicines from Miao Shou Medical Hall. Take them daily, and I guarantee you’ll recover in two months."

Lin Fan casually wrote down a prescription and handed it to Yang Linglong.

Acupuncture is quick, but it’s for emergencies.

Her heart condition wasn’t a major issue for now, so he planned to cure her with medications.

"That miraculous, I can be cured in two months from a congenital heart defect?"

Yang Linglong looked at Lin Fan, shocked.

If it hadn’t been for his display of skills yesterday, she would never have believed it.

"Of course, but there’s a condition,"

Lin Fan waggled the prescription in his hand, smiling mischievously.

"Then I don’t want it."

Yang Linglong’s face turned red as she pouted.

"Rejecting it without hearing the conditions?"

Lin Fan hadn’t expected her to refuse so bluntly.

"What other conditions can you men come up with? It’s nothing but wanting to sleep with me. I warn you, don’t even think about it; I’m not that kind of woman, what happened before was an accident."

Yang Linglong scoffed.

Getting any further wasn’t something that could be bargained for.

"You’re thinking too much. I’m not that sleazy; I’m actually interested in the pendant on your neck."

Lin Fan stared directly at the lush ravine of Yang Linglong.

The secret hidden within was of great importance.

"Don’t even think about it; that’s the only keepsake from my brother!"

Hearing this, Yang Linglong instinctively protected her neck.

It was the only remembrance her brother had left her.

"A keepsake!"

Lin Fan muttered thoughtfully.

"Yes, my brother was six years older than I, and he always protected me. But since he joined the army, we never saw each other again until he was martyred. All that came back was this pendant; I don’t even know why he died or what unit he was in. He never told me."

Talking about her brother, Yang Linglong’s eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Remembering the final letter he wrote, her heart ached like it was being cut.

"Your brother was a great hero, a pride of your family. Take good care of this pendant; it can protect your whole family for a lifetime. No matter what happens or who you meet, you need not fear."

Lin Fan drew Yang Linglong into his arms.

Letting her tears soak his chest.

"How do you know my brother’s last words?"

After crying for a while, Yang Linglong suddenly realized.

That was exactly what was written in her brother’s final letter.

"Because I am also a soldier, so I’ve heard some related legends!"

Lin Fan gently stroked Yang Linglong’s head, filled with affection.

Some things couldn’t be discussed further.

But he would never forget the oath he once made.

"Okay, I understand. It’s about time, I need to hurry back, give me your phone number.’

After wiping her tears, Yang Linglong remembered the most important thing.

She hadn’t even had the chance to get her boyfriend’s phone number.

So she had to rush to her best friend’s company early in the morning.

Just to find her boyfriend.

"Remember, you are my probationary boyfriend, and before this gets official, absolutely no one, especially Meng Yao, can know about this."

After exchanging phone numbers, Yang Linglong hurriedly ran out of the room.

But before she left, she didn’t forget to plant a kiss on Lin Fan’s cheek.

"This girl is really spicy!"

Leaning on the office desk, Lin Fan looked over his contact list.

The name Yang Linglong had entered herself was actually "Queen."

It seemed she was still quite domineering.

The marriage with Ning Mengyao, both in name and reality but still unacknowledged, would end sooner or later.

Then having a romance himself wouldn’t really count as cheating, would it?

...

"What’s wrong with your eyes?"

When Yang Linglong returned to the CEO’s office, Ning Mengyao noticed something was off with a single glance.

"I was in a hurry just now, a bug flew into my eye, it’s nothing."

Yang Linglong found an excuse to brush it off.

"Alright, you sit down for a while, I need to take care of something at the secretariat."

Ning Mengyao, troubled in her heart, couldn’t sit still any longer.

She quickly stood up and walked out.

"Don’t secretaries usually report to you? Since when do you need to go down there in person?"

Yang Linglong asked curiously.

"So that certain people finally recognize me, I need to make them know who I am!"

Ning Mengyao said with a smile.

"Don’t be so harsh on the staff. It’s normal for newcomers not to recognize others."

When it came to Lin Fan, Yang Linglong suddenly got nervous.

She knew Ning Mengyao well.

On the outside, she might appear weak and gentle, but deep down she was even more resolute than her.

If she got angry, it could be fierce like thunder.

"You seem very concerned about my employees, how about you find a Prince Charming in my company?"

Ning Mengyao walked out with a mischievous smile.

Leaving Yang Linglong curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow.

"I did find one, but whether he can be brought home is still uncertain."

Her father had seriously had a talk with her about Lin Fan the night before.

For some reason, all her family members were very opposed.

But the inexplicable fondness combined with a rebellious heart.

She definitely wouldn’t let go easily.

...

"Your acting was a bit off just now!"

Inside Lin Fan’s office.

The moment Ning Mengyao walked in, she once again pulled down the venetian blinds she had just raised.

"Then how should I have acted?"

Lin Fan leaned back in his chair helplessly.

Why did women always like to close the blinds.

Since they were afraid to be seen, they might as well not come at all.

"You should respect me. Don’t forget, in the office I am the boss, and you are the assistant. At the very least, you should greet me, your behavior makes people uncomfortable!"

Ning Mengyao walked over to Lin Fan.

She sat on the desk where Yang Linglong had just sat, looking down on Lin Fan from above.

"Alright, Mr. Ning, I’ll remember it. Also... Pikachu isn’t bad either!"

Lin Fan gave a mischievous glance at the splash of yellow amid the black.

Unexpectedly, Ning Mengyao’s undergarments were always so cartoonish.

"You... pervert!"

Ning Mengyao’s face turned red, and she quickly crossed her legs.

"Remember this, you absolutely can’t disclose our relationship, and you must maintain a distance from me at the office!"

"It seems like this is my office."

Those long beautiful legs were indeed a scenic view.

Lin Fan licked his lips, the torment of seeing yet not being able to touch was really hard.

So he could only retort through words.

"You... you were late today, half a day’s wages deducted... flirting with the boss. Deduct this month’s bonus..."

Unable to win the verbal spar, Ning Mengyao stood up with an indignant red face.

Lucky for her, she was the CEO, she couldn’t believe she couldn’t outwit a mere assistant.

"That’s not playing fair!"

Lin Fan sighed in resignation.

This skin-flaying boss, was she not afraid of being struck by lightning?
