Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Going on a Date with My Wife

"Mr. Lin, I owe you so much this time, you truly are my rebirth parents!"

After the treatment, Xu Dewang looked at Lin Fan with genuine sincerity.

Today, he not only regained his confidence as a man.

But he also witnessed the powerful force behind Lin Fan.

Even the elusive Divine Doctor was very polite to him.

To encounter such a heavyweight himself,

truly was a blessing from his past life.

"Now that the issue is resolved, take it easy when you get back, and don’t strain your back."

Lin Fan’s joke also made Xu Dewang couldn’t help but smile.

Only he knew that last night, after feasting, his wife had clung tightly to his arm throughout the night.

That sense of conquering attachment was more exhilarating than making money.

"Mr. Lin, the five million on the card is just a small token of my appreciation, for I am but a humble man who can offer nothing finer. But from now on, my life is yours, and I am ready to be your foot soldier. Should you ever need me, I’ll be ready to lay down my life and more."

Having the chance to follow this mysterious tycoon was definitely fortune amassed over several lifetimes.

Xu Dewang hurriedly took out a bank card and handed it over.

"Okay, I’ll accept the money, but keep your life as you’ll have kids to take care of later. And don’t forget to deal harshly with those troublemakers."

Lin Fan said, accepting the card with a smile.

Five million was indeed no small sum, but not enough to tempt the retired Li Yizhen to act.

So he didn’t need to refuse, especially since his own bonus had been docked by Ning Mengyao.

"Definitely, definitely, I just received a message that those few ruffians have been captured. Once I find out who’s behind them, I’ll absolutely make them pay a painful price."

Although Lin Fan had specifically explained this matter, Xu Dewang understood what he meant as someone who had climbed up from the very bottom.

Since those people weren’t arranged by him, there was absolutely no need for courtesy.

"Alright, then you better get to it. I should be picking up my wife from work soon."

Lin Fan opened the car door, looking at the Ning Group not far away.

It was almost time for quitting time, and his assistant was about to start working again.

Just as Lin Fan was about to enter the elevator, the elevator doors suddenly opened.

Ning Mengyao inside, looking at Lin Fan in surprise.

"Where have you been?"

"Staying in the office was boring, so I went out for a bit. Where are you off to?"

Lin Fan asked curiously looking at Ning Mengyao.

She should have taken the elevator straight to the underground parking garage, why was she getting off in the lobby?

Moreover, she had already changed into a casual dress.

"I... I have a dinner engagement tonight."

Ning Mengyao suddenly felt like she was acting like a thief.

That sense of guilt made her unable to meet Lin Fan’s eyes.

"Oh, go ahead then."

Seeing her evasive eyes, Lin Fan also realized that her dinner companion was no ordinary person.

But he didn’t ask further.

After all, the two of them had agreed to divorce in six months.

Some things, he had no right to meddle in.

"Aren’t you going to ask who I’m having dinner with?"

Ning Mengyao suddenly got somewhat angry.

This guy didn’t seem to care about her at all.

"I thought it wouldn’t be convenient to ask."

Lin Fan said with an awkward smile.

The mind of a woman is indeed as elusive as a needle in the sea.

It’s just too hard to fathom.

"What’s inconvenient about it? I am not that kind of messy person. It’s just Leng Mu who called me last night. Somehow, he managed to make Xu Dewang loosen up, and the business even expanded. Along moral and rational lines, I ought to treat him to a meal, right? It’s basic courtesy."

Ning Mengyao said sternly, initiating the conversation.

"Oh, that makes sense!"

Lin Fan forced a bitter smile and nodded.

Just as he thought, all his credit had been stolen by this bastard.

"What do you mean, ’right’? Don’t you know he’s been pursuing me? Now I am going to have dinner with him. After all, we are married. Don’t you care at all?"

Ning Mengyao glared at Lin Fan.

None of his answers were to her liking.

"Of course I believe you wouldn’t fall for that kind of trash, let alone what you said yourself, that it’s basic manners... So how should I have responded?"

Lin Fan looked helplessly at Ning Mengyao.

He suddenly realized that he really didn’t understand women.

"That’s not what I meant, but he has intentions... As a man, how can you allow your woman to dine with that kind of guy? What if he does something inappropriate to me?"

Ning Mengyao stood with her hands on her hips, angrily glaring at Lin Fan.

His indifference really pissed her off.

"So, should I stop you?"

"Of course not, I already told you he has been helpful, and I am going there to pay."

"Then should I go with you?"

Lin Fan asked tentatively.

"That would be more like it, let’s go."

Ning Mengyao snorted and promptly handed her backpack to Lin Fan.

She then strode toward the exit of the hall.

"Women, truly a mysterious creature."

Carrying the bag, Lin Fan followed her with a bitter smile.

It looked like tonight’s dinner was going to be quite spectacular.

When the two walked out of the office building one after the other,

a fleet of vehicles roared slowly through the main gate.

Leading the convoy were a dozen modified motorcycles.

A Bentley trailing behind came to a stop right in front of Ning Mengyao.

"My dear, this is specially prepared for you!"

The car door opened and Leng Mu, dressed in a sharp suit and slicked-back hair, stepped out.

Holding a large bouquet of fiery red roses, he actually opened his arms and lunged towards Ning Mengyao.

"Mr. Leng, let me introduce you, this is my husband."

Ning Mengyao quickly stepped back and clung to Lin Fan’s arm.

With him as a shield, she wouldn’t have to accept the strange bouquet.

"Husband!"

Leng Mu froze in place.

Shocked, he took off his sunglasses and looked at Lin Fan with perplexity.

"You don’t need to call me that."

Lin Fan watched the slick Leng Mu with a smile.

He hadn’t been so haughty when he knelt in front of the Martial Alliance fleet the night before.

"Meng Yao, stop joking. How could you just pick up a construction worker and pretend he’s your husband?"

Leng Mu gave Lin Fan a disdainful look.

He couldn’t believe that his goddess was already taken.

"I’m not joking, he really is my husband. Thank you for your help today. So, we’ve discussed it and would like to treat Mr. Leng to a simple meal as a token of our gratitude!"

Ning Mengyao looked at Leng Mu with satisfaction.

This reaction was the best outcome for her.

"Okay, okay, okay, I’ll certainly enjoy this meal. After all, not just anyone can afford it."

Leng Mu glared at Lin Fan with resentment.

He was determined to expose this guy’s true colors at the dinner table.

"Exactly, you should really savor this meal!"

Facing the guy who stole his credit,

Lin Fan smiled mischievously.

This dinner was going to be interesting.
