Chapter 307: Chapter 307: I Treat You Like a Brother, But You Want to Be My Father!

In the cafeteria of the military ship.

Prince Zhen Nan, Xu Kun, sat at the dining table with a smile on his face.

Watching Lin Fan walk in.

His certain gaze carried the scrutiny of an elder.

"Kid, I didn’t expect us to meet here, and even less did I anticipate that you would save not only my special combat team but also my daughter. You’ve really put me in your debt."

"Squad leader, you’re being too formal, it was just a helping hand."

Lin Fan smiled and took a seat opposite Xu Kun.

At that moment, a few small dishes were laid out on the table.

"You know the rules of our troops, I’m on duty now and can’t drink alcohol, so there’s no liquor on this ship. Today, I can only substitute tea for wine to express my gratitude to you."

Xu Kun raised his teacup.

This was also the highest etiquette among soldiers.

"We’re both soldiers of Huaxia; it was my duty to do what I did."

Lin Fan smiled and also raised his teacup.

He took a sip of the strong tea.

"I heard from my daughter that it was you and your wife who acted together to save people. I really didn’t expect you to be married. Did you retire just for this? Is it worth leaving behind the military uniform you love so much for a wife?"

Setting down the teacup, Xu Kun looked at Lin Fan with a smile.

No one knows a daughter better than her father.

Especially since just now, Xu Zhi Rou refused to go back to Beijiang and wanted to stay in Jiangning City.

This matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Clearly, the girl had taken a liking to Lin Fan.

Particularly when Xu Zhi Rou was reporting her experience.

She obviously omitted several details and only mentioned the four times Lin Fan saved her.

But with careful thought, there were undoubtedly instances of close personal contact.

So, as a father, he had to clear the path for his daughter.

"Squad leader, you’ve misunderstood; I didn’t come back to get married, but to find my family roots..."

Lin Fan had no need to hide anything.

He then roughly recounted his own experiences.

Of course, this included the current investigation that led to Evil Island.

"So that’s how it is."

After listening to Lin Fan’s narrative, Xu Kun revealed a slight smile.

No wonder the Zhao Family from Beijing sent Zhao Jiaqi to Jiangning City.

It was unexpected that he would get married just a few days after returning.

"Even without a military uniform, I’m still a good son of Huaxia. When encountering pirates, I must intervene."

Lin Fan didn’t notice the deep meaning in Xu Kun’s eyes.

"Speaking of which, you and that Ning Mengyao engaged in a false marriage because of that dagger. So it was a contract marriage. Now, if we count the days, isn’t it almost time? When are you planning to divorce?"

Xu Kun looked at Lin Fan with a smile.

Since it was a contract marriage, then the matter was even easier to handle.

"Squad leader, why are you suddenly so concerned about my marriage?"

Lin Fan looked at Xu Kun with confusion.

At that moment, he realized something was off.

"As your squad leader, of course, I need to be concerned about your post-retirement life. Besides, Miss Ning is pretty good, she has been quite helpful to you. Even if it was a contract marriage, we should part on good terms. After all, in the future, she will have to carry the title of a divorcee. You, as a man, can’t wrong her. How about this, my family has a few properties here in Jiangning City, think of it as compensation for the divorce, it should be worth a few billion."

Xu Kun’s words made Lin Fan frown slightly.

He seemed from the beginning to have never mentioned divorce.

So he could only awkwardly smile and say, "Squad leader, how could I do that? Besides, this is a private matter between Meng Yao and me, so there’s no need for you to worry. Rest assured, I will not treat her unfairly."

"Why can’t I meddle in your private affairs? Anyway, once you’re divorced, you’ll be free, and my daughter is also not getting any younger. I think you two would make a pretty good match, and we would all be family in the future. In fact, you could take over my position one day."

Xu Kun’s remark left Lin Fan stunned.

After all the roundabout talk, it turned out this was his intention.

And that made him smile wryly.

"Old squad leader, I respect you as an old squad leader, how could you want to be my dad? Can’t we just play happily anymore?"

"I just want to play happily with you, what’s the matter, you think I don’t treat you well?"

Xu Kun chuckled as he stood up and came to Lin Fan’s side.

Patting his shoulder, "If you want money, I’ll give money, if you want a daughter, I’ll give a daughter. You’ve seen for yourself, though my daughter seems fierce usually, she’s as good as a kitty beside you. It’s what we call a mutual attraction, and besides, she has the looks, the appearance, and the figure. Paired up with you, it doesn’t seem too bad, right?"

"Old squad leader, you can’t talk like that!"

Lin Fan hurriedly waved his hands but was once again interrupted.

"I offer money, I offer houses, just say the word, you can pick any position in the Southern Border troops. With your skills, I guarantee you’ll be my right hand within ten years. Once I retire, all of this will be yours; isn’t that enough?"

Xu Kun is certainly money-loving.

Moreover, Xu Zhi Rou had already confirmed Lin Fan’s identity as a wolf.

This wolf was definitely not someone he would easily let go of.

"It’s not... old squad leader..."

Lin Fan frantically waved his hands.

This enticing offer might be tempting to others.

But for him, it held no allure whatsoever.

Just then, the door to the cafeteria swung open.

A tall figure in a short skirt and military boots walked in.

"Lin Fan, where the hell have you been, not answering your phone, I almost flipped Jiangning City upside down looking for you."

Zhao Jiaqi stormed in, fuming with anger.

"My phone dropped into the sea, and I didn’t have signal. Do you need me for something? Let’s talk outside!"

Seeing Zhao Jiaqi, Lin Fan finally saw an opportunity to escape.

He quickly stood up, smiling and giving her a wink.

"Didn’t I tell you before I left that tonight was Shangguan Min Yue’s wedding, and I needed you to attend without fail? Do you know how hard it’s been for me to find you these last couple of days? If it wasn’t for Southern Border contacting Longya, I wouldn’t even know you’d run off here."

Zhao Jiaqi glared at Lin Fan furiously.

Everything for tonight was ready.

All that was missing was his appearance as the male lead.

But this guy had vanished into thin air.

"Ah, right, tonight’s wedding is indeed very important."

Lin Fan feigned calmness and slapped his forehead.

Then, turning to Xu Kun, "Old squad leader, I’ve got an emergency here and I have to leave first. I’ll leave it to you to take my wife back to Jiangning..."

"What’s the rush, it’s someone else’s wedding, you’re not the groom. Stay a little longer, let’s talk more about the divorce."

Xu Kun had never expected Zhao Jiaqi to intervene at this moment.

"Let’s leave that discussion between me and my wife, old squad leader, I have to go!"

Lin Fan, lost for words, quickly pushed the confused Zhao Jiaqi and headed out.

This ready-made marriage proposal delivered to his door, he definitely couldn’t agree to it.

"You scoundrel, are you really getting a divorce? That’s great!"

Zhao Jiaqi turned back to Lin Fan with confusion.

If he were divorced, wouldn’t he be free to marry Shangguan Min Yue rightfully?

"Divorce my foot, hurry up and go!"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes.

What era was this?

Why was everyone looking forward to his divorce?
