Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Things That Can Be Done, and Things That Should Not Be Done

Inside the private room, the atmosphere instantly turned eerie.

Looking at Lin Fan who had just walked in, Director Xu, who had just been all bragging, suddenly deflated like a punctured ball. He had never expected to get slapped in the face by his own big talk since he indeed knew Lin Fan, but far from being buddies, he didn’t even qualify to dine at the same table.

Just a couple of days ago, when Lin Fan was dining with people from the education bureau, Director Xu, who appeared very authoritative in front of others, was merely the driver waiting downstairs. After everyone had enough food and drinks, as he drove them to a bath center, he did a brief introduction of himself.

"Mayor Lin, why are you here?"

The arrival of Lin Fan was like a heavy blow to Director Xu, who became visibly panicked and hurriedly bent his straightened back.

"If I hadn’t come, how would I know that someone was using my name to swindle? I haven’t even officially taken office, yet you’re pulling me into such a big favor. I can’t afford to owe this."

As Lin Fan spoke, he directly placed his mobile phone on the table: "You want to sleep with someone’s wife, and yet you charge it to my account. You’ve really calculated well. Fortunately, I’ve recorded everything. I’ll send it to your Director Zheng in a moment and let him judge for himself. Is there no justice?"

"No, no, no... Mayor Lin...I was wrong!"

The weight of those words was something Director Xu understood all too well. Once the words he just said spread, he would be finished. He knelt down on the ground with a pale face, pleading ceaselessly, "Mayor Lin, I just drank too much earlier. Please, forget the foolish acts of a lesser man, just let me off this one time. I truly was wrong... I won’t dare again... I still have parents to take care of, and a child in primary school. Please have mercy on me."

"How can I pity you when no one pities me?"

Lin Fan sat cross-legged, glancing at Bai Xue who was silently shedding tears nearby. It seemed that her whole worldview had collapsed that evening since being betrayed by a loved one is an unimaginable pain.

"Mayor Lin...I really was wrong...I won’t dare again...Please let me off...From now on, I’ll be your dog...whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it..."

Director Xu kneeled on the ground, pleading incessantly, which truly made Lin Fan feel embarrassed. However, if it weren’t for this incident, he wouldn’t have been able to show his capabilities. So, he waved his hand at him: "Just go, don’t let me see you again... Oh, and I’ll keep this recording. If Teacher Bai fails her interview, I will hand it over to your director. Remember that, understood?"

"Understood...I remember...Thank you, Mayor Lin!"

The panicked Director Xu quickly got up and rushed out the door, realizing that the profitable deal he almost had was now in Lin Fan’s mouth, yet he could do nothing about it. After all, one rank higher in office could crush a person, not to mention that Lin Fan was now in the spotlight, so even a bureau chief had to show respect.

In the private room, only Lin Fan and Bai Xue remained. She still stood there, tears streaming down continuously from her eyes, making her look desolately beautiful, which made anyone feel pity.

Lin Fan picked up a napkin from the table and handed it to her: "It’s okay now. This is just a small part of life. There’s no need to punish yourself with the mistakes of others. Let’s go."

"Okay."

Bai Xue nodded numbly and followed Lin Fan out of the restaurant. As she sat in the passenger seat, she kept wiping her tears and remained silent. Lin Fan didn’t say anything more, just opened the window, letting the howling night wind blow through her hair and whisk away her tears.

But throughout the journey, neither of them spoke. Lin Fan only smoked silently, reflecting on his own once-shattered beliefs, which were similar to hers. However, he hadn’t expected that Bai Xue’s husband would actually treat her as a gift to someone else, which really confirmed what Chen Jiayi had said before.

"We’re here."

When the car returned to the hotel parking lot, Lin Fan looked at Bai Xue in the passenger seat. She silently wiped her tears, opened the car door, and stepped out.

"Aren’t you coming with me?"

Bai Xue turned her head to look at Lin Fan after getting out of the car.

"Is it convenient at this late hour?"

Lin Fan understood the meaning behind Bai Xue’s words, but instinctively asked,

"Won’t you regret not coming up?"

After saying this, Bai Xue turned and walked toward the hotel with a resolute demeanor, causing Lin Fan to reveal a trace of a smile. Then he turned off the car engine and followed her into the hotel.

Exiting the elevator, they opened the room door, and the two still hadn’t exchanged a single word. Bai Xue immediately pulled over the suitcase that had been sent over in advance and dumped all the clothes out onto the soft, large bed. Meanwhile, Lin Fan also saw several black stockings pop out of the suitcase, along with the pink toy he had seen before, as well as a few other toys.

"Zhou Daguai, you son of a bitch!"

When she saw these intimate toys for couples, Bai Xue’s tears once again started flowing, and in anger, she threw the suitcase onto the floor and collapsed onto the bed with her head in her hands, crying her heart out.

Now that there was physical evidence, it proved that what Director Xu had said was indeed true; she had really been treated like a gift by Zhou Daguai.

As for Lin Fan, he was still sitting in the chair, silently watching the scene unfold, unable to fully comprehend human sorrows and joys. Although he understood her crying, he couldn’t empathize.

After a long time, Bai Xue finally stopped crying and sat up, wiping her tears. She then unbuttoned her blouse and, with red-rimmed eyes, looked at Lin Fan, "Come on, since Zhou Daguai wants to be cuckolded, I might as well oblige him."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Bai Xue’s exposed fair skin, Lin Fan still didn’t move.

"We’re all adults here, don’t pretend you don’t understand. Don’t you want to sleep with me? I’m giving you the chance right now, so what are you waiting for?"

Bai Xue sat there, staring intently at Lin Fan, while he revealed a bitter smile.

"Yes, I actually have wanted to sleep with you, ever since we first met at the breakfast diner, and it’s not just been a day or two, including today when I came to find you, but at this moment, I don’t want to anymore."

Lin Fan smiled as he put out his cigarette, "I know you’re in pain right now, but punishing yourself for someone else’s mistakes is the most foolish thing to do."

"Don’t give me these grand lectures here. Aren’t you the same as Director Xu, wanting to sleep with someone else’s wife? You don’t need to make it sound so noble."

Bai Xue flicked her hair back and looked coldly at Lin Fan; the purpose was the same, yet it sounded so grand coming from him.

"A gentleman knows what is right and what is wrong; although I’m no gentleman, I am at least a man with common sense. My purpose may be the same as his, but our approaches are not the same; I don’t want to just be a toy."

Lin Fan smiled and stood up, walking toward the door. He knew very well that advancing now would only result in being looked down upon.

But just as he opened the door, Bai Xue suddenly ran up from behind and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her soft chest firmly against his back.

"Don’t go... Stay and talk to me."
