Chapter 327: Chapter 327: You Must Run with This Leg

"We’ve made a beauty appointment, so I’ll be waiting for you at the usual place. Hurry over after you’re done shopping."

Once the chatter between best friends started, it was hard to stop.

After a lengthy conversation, Ning Mengyao reluctantly moved forward.

It wasn’t until they were out of sight that Yang Linglong finally felt relieved.

She had just let out a sigh of relief when she turned around.

There stood Lin Fan, looking suave behind her.

"Wow, so handsome!"

His sharp suit complimented Lin Fan’s distinctly chiseled face.

His great physique stood out, even more striking than those of fake models.

The depth in his eyes left Yang Linglong’s heart trembling.

Her eyes sparkled.

"I thought I heard Mr. Ning’s voice just now."

Lin Fan had actually heard everything clearly while inside.

But once outside, he could only feign ignorance.

"Yeah, I didn’t expect she would come here with a new friend. If you had come out earlier, our cover would’ve been blown."

Yang Linglong reached out to tidy Lin Fan’s collar.

"Now that you’ve bought clothes, why don’t you go keep her company? We can make plans some other time."

Lin Fan indulgently pinched Yang Linglong’s earlobe.

This kind of intimate gesture, only seen between lovers.

"Don’t! I finally got a spot on the fourth floor. That place is really popular; I barely managed to secure a reservation this time. Who knows when we’ll get another chance. Why don’t you wait there for me, and I’ll find a way to slip away and meet you?"

Yang Linglong pleaded playfully as she clung to Lin Fan’s arm.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder,

This separation had made her miss him dearly.

"Alright, alright, but don’t push yourself too hard."

Unable to resist Yang Linglong, Lin Fan had to agree.

"You’re the best."

Yang Linglong tiptoed and kissed Lin Fan on the cheek.

Then they hurriedly went their separate ways, as she headed toward the beauty shop.

There was still some time before noon.

Lin Fan aimlessly wandered around, bored.

"On one hand, you’re flirting with your wife’s younger sister, and on the other, you’ve got your arms around your wife’s best friend. You’re playing a dangerous game."

Zhao Jiaqi’s voice came from behind him.

She was genuinely upset to find Lin Fan being so outrageous.

"We need to talk facts. You should know that Qi Qi’s situation has nothing to do with me. As for her best friend, honestly, I’ve been quite passive about it. It’s not something easily explained in a few words."

Lin Fan turned around, a helpless look on his face as he faced Zhao Jiaqi.

In this world, there are no walls without leaks.

He just hadn’t expected her to be the first to find out.

"Do you realize how precious a woman’s friendship is? They’ve been friends since childhood, sticking together through thick and thin. If they find out that one’s husband is the other’s boyfriend, what do you think they would do?"

Zhao Jiaqi angrily questioned Lin Fan.

"So, at times like this, you still helped me marry another wife?"

Lin Fan’s retort suddenly extinguished Zhao Jiaqi’s fury.

The matter with Shangguan Min Yue had been her doing entirely.

"Well... I didn’t know... in this situation... If you wanted to cheat, why didn’t you go further away? Why did you have to pick someone close to her?"

Zhao Jiaqi stammered, realizing.

She had unwittingly become entangled in the affair.

"You think I wanted this? Feelings are something you stumble upon unintentionally. That’s why I haven’t touched anyone; you know about Li Qiqi and Shangguan Min Yue. At least when things blow up, it won’t hurt as much."

Lin Fan actually felt quite unease in his heart.

Because of the relationship between Yang Linglong and Ning Mengyao.

He really didn’t dare bite off more than he could chew.

"You’re afraid of things going wrong, so... you haven’t slept with them?"

Zhao Jiaqi suddenly looked up,

a shocked expression on her face as she stared at Lin Fan.

"Nonsense... hey, what’s with that look? What are you thinking? You doubt me!"

Lin Fan squinted his eyes.

Jiaqi’s reaction was really strange.

"No no no... It’s nothing... It’s nothing..."

Jiaqi hurriedly waved her hands.

She absolutely couldn’t admit that she suspected.

"So, what are you planning to do next?"

"The biggest trouble now is that Zhi Rou has moved into Ning Mansion and is even staying with Meng Yao. As her legitimate husband, I’ve been banished to the western wing. Since you’re close to Meng Yao, help me find out what happened."

Lin Fan rubbed his chin.

Meng Yao’s sudden change had caught him off guard.

"Do you really take me as your errand boy?"

Jiaqi rolled her eyes.

"Hey, you got me involved in Min Yue’s troubles; the Seven Killings Alliance probably won’t let this end easily. Do you want me to pin this mess on you when the time comes?"

Lin Fan wore a mischievous smile.

Master Miejue had already left hurriedly last night.

It likely wouldn’t be long before she returned for revenge.

"Alright, I’ll look into it for you, you womanizer, clean up your own mess."

Jiaqi rolled her eyes again.

This time she indeed owed him a favor.

She could only go and investigate.

"By the way, any news about the Drought woman?"

There were still clues about his own origins on Evil Island.

Lin Fan had always been pursuing them.

"Things like that don’t move fast; I’m going to investigate for you now. Why don’t you wait for me on the rooftop?"

Jiaqi pouted her lips.

Many of the secretive matters had lost most of their clues.

Finding answers definitely wasn’t a job for just a day or two.

"Investigate as quickly as you can, and remember to notify me the moment you have any news."

Being anxious now was of no use.

Lin Fan only knew that the trail absolutely couldn’t just go cold.

"Got it."

Jiaqi made a face.

Then she turned and headed toward the beauty salon.

The five women were in a private booth.

Each had a face mask on, enjoying the whitening effect of the devices.

The five chatted intermittently.

"Linglong, how was the revitalizing soup I made for you last time?"

Qi Qi’s gossip immediately sparked everyone’s interest.

"It was good..."

Yang Linglong pursed her lips.

Though girls’ conversations together tend to be more colorful than men’s,

a natural shyness was still inevitable.

"Was it good to drink, or was it good to use?"

Meng Yao suddenly joked from the side.

"Stop it. We’re all married women here; how can you still talk so directly? You are supposed to be a virtuous wife and mother now."

Yang Linglong immediately shot back.

"I’m a married woman, what’s there to be shy about? Whether it’s effective or not, it’s all legal. Speaking of which, how is it going with Qi Qi’s mysterious boyfriend? Have you snagged him yet?"

Meng Yao asked with a smile.

"Not yet... but the good news is he has recently become addicted to my cooking... if you want to win a man’s heart, first you have to conquer his stomach. I’ve at least succeeded halfway there. But speaking of effectiveness, what’s with men these days? Today, Jiaqi’s friend also talked about making revitalizing soup for her boyfriend."

Although Qi Qi was a bit shy,

as a woman of the new era, she still spoke frankly.

"Jiaqi’s friend? Surely it’s not herself!"

Xu Zhi Rou’s speculation instantly heightened the atmosphere.

Only Jiaqi knew that they were all talking about the same person.
