Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Scumbag, True Colors

In the bustling mall,

Lin Fan looked at the group chat he’d created for the five of them on his phone.

Ning Mengyao and Yang Linglong quickly found their bearings too.

Constantly updating each other on their opponent’s whereabouts.

For these four stunning beauties, the other party harbored no suspicions.

At times, they even deliberately strolled near them,

completely as if watching a play.

"How does it feel to be dating four beauties at the same time?"

On the fourth floor, Zhao Jiaqi looked at Lin Fan as he walked back.

He was currently on the second floor, where they also needed a little break.

"I’m about to die of exhaustion, I never imagined playing a playboy could be so exhausting."

Lin Fan stretched lazily.

Running up and down the floors had left him quite stretched thin.

"Oh please, you’re just playing yourself."

Zhao Jiaqi rolled her eyes and said, "I’m curious how you managed to get Ning Mengyao and Yang Linglong, who share everything, to keep secrets from each other. And sooner or later, you’ll have to answer for it. Do you think those lame excuses will fool them?"

"I might be able to muddle through this, but I don’t know how long I can keep it up, so I’d like to ask you, how would you feel if one day you found out your husband was your best friend’s boyfriend, or your boyfriend was your best friend’s husband?"

Lin Fan watched Zhao Jiaqi with a smile.

In fact, what troubled him most was the relationship between Yang Linglong and Ning Mengyao.

"It’s really not such a big deal, after all, everyone’s so familiar with each other."

Zhao Jiaqi said with a laugh, dragging her cheek.

"Really that generous?"

Lin Fan asked in disbelief.

"Of course, at most I’d just drug your food and say goodbye to some useless parts while you sleep at night. Do you think such a little thing could lead to murder?"

Zhao Jiaqi winked playfully.

But that statement truly sent chills down Lin Fan’s spine.

"You say you’re so lovely looking, how can your heart be so cruel? Some things happen for a reason."

"If there’s a reason, just correct it. I’ll cut off the root of all evil, and I guarantee there’ll never be another mistake in my life."

Zhao Jiaqi raised her eyebrows.

That mischievous smile made Lin Fan involuntarily gasp.

If the truth really came out one day, this could actually happen.

What if, taking advantage of his sleep, some parts went missing? That would be a real big problem.

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

The topic wasn’t appealing, and curiously, Zhao Jiaqi inquired.

"Honestly, I don’t know. Man proposes, God disposes. There’s no better plan at the moment, I can only keep an eye on things. He just took the initiative to get to know me, but I didn’t entertain it because I thought it was too hasty; it’s just that I really can’t find a suitable opportunity to get close to him."

Lin Fan shook his head.

The little devil had just come over with an olive branch.

But he also feared it was a test from the other side.

So he didn’t accept it.

But what to do next, how to advance further, was a dilemma for him.

Should he still resort to those coincidental methods?

The counter-investigation abilities shown by the other party indicated a seasoned character.

"We can’t just keep hanging like this, can we?"

Zhao Jiaqi too looked perplexed.

The impression the other party gave off was really just like someone casually shopping,

with no hint of any schemes at all.

"As long as there’s a road, there will be a way, and since we have almost finished eating, go ask Yang Linglong to switch floors with you so she can come down to eat too. I’m heading down now, try to arrange for Meng Yao and Zhi Rou to swap seats to avoid suspicions if it takes too long."

Lin Fan shook his head.

It was about time to leave.

So he stood up and walked toward the elevator.

Soon he arrived at the second floor.

Ning Mengyao was standing in front of the counter, putting a diamond necklace around her neck.

"Wow, this necklace really suits you, let’s take this one."

Lin Fan, coming up from behind, directly embraced her slender waist.

"This is too expensive, let’s not take it."

Ning Mengyao quickly stretched out her hand trying to take it off.

But Lin Fan stopped her.

"I’m not much for romance, and I’ve never given roses, but I do find this necklace truly suitable for you. Consider it a small gift from your incompetent husband."

Lin Fan snapped his fingers at the cashier.

He then pulled out his bank card and placed it on the counter.

The fees for the recent treatments were still all there.

"A small gift, when did you become so lavish?"

Ning Mengyao pouted and said, "I didn’t even fuss about you hugging Xu Zhi Rou earlier, and yet you’re still jealous over roses. Aren’t you being too petty for a man?"

"Not at all, I’m serious. After all, I grew up in the mountains and don’t know much about these rules, so let it be an apology."

Lin Fan said with a bitter smile in his defense.

"Fine, I’ll accept your apology, but there’s something I need to tell you. I just got a call from our high school class president, there’s a high school reunion happening tonight. After so many years since graduation, no one has really kept in touch, so I suspect Chu Tianyang is behind this. Could you come with me?"

Ning Mengyao turned her head, looking at Lin Fan.

"Of course, I’m all set to be your escort."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded.

Knowing it could be a setup, his role as her husband meant he had to step up.

"Alright, never thought you were such a jealous pot. But how did you persuade Yang Linglong to act along with you?"

After Ning Mengyao asked, she found the answer herself, "You didn’t threaten her using her boyfriend, did you? You can’t be too excessive, counting on Prince Zhen Nan’s favorable attitude towards you to bully others. I heard her boyfriend also has substantial resources in the military. Besides, she and I are best friends, you can’t make things difficult for her."

"Hey, do you think I’m the kind to kill the donkey once I’ve got the millstone? I could persuade Yang Linglong to help just this once because of your influence as Mr. Ning,"

Lin Fan said with a wry smile.

Just now, Yang Linglong had also asked how to explain it to Ning Mengyao.

It goes without saying, their friendship was truly great.

This only made him feel more troubled.

After all, there are no walls without cracks in this world.

If something went wrong, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"You didn’t tell her about our marriage, did you... I’ve never told her about us."

Ning Mengyao suddenly felt her heart flutter.

She wasn’t ready to let everyone know he was her support just yet.

"Don’t worry, I just said we needed her cooperation to catch an escapee, and with Xu Zhi Rou around, this favor won’t even need repaying from me, but I’m still thinking about how to smoothly get through this affair."

Lin Fan scratched his head; it had been hours.

Yet she was still not willing to comply.

Was he really going to have to resort to force?

"This problem is yours to solve; I can’t give you an answer. But I hope tomorrow you can promise me that when you attend the reunion, try not to fight, especially not to hit Chu Tianyang. After all, he is our classmate, and I don’t want you to cause too many conflicts,"

Ning Mengyao said, absorbed in her thoughts.

But to Lin Fan’s ears, suddenly there sparked a bit of inspiration.

"Right, this reunion is a good opportunity. Next, you need to help me put on a show."
