Chapter 111 : Name Your Price, Leave Her
Chapter 111: Name Your Price, Leave Her
University City.
Chen Fan arrived at the newly opened barbecue restaurant mentioned by Fang Ling around noon by riding a bicycle.
Chen Fan originally wanted a private room, but unexpectedly the restaurant was quite busy and fully occupied.
Fang Ling said sitting in the main dining area was fine. She pulled Chen Fan to find a window seat.
"Cold weather is perfect for barbecue, so there are the most customers during this time."
Fang Ling smiled and poured Chen Fan a cup of hot drink.
"What do you think about opening a restaurant like this?"
Chen Fan glanced around the dining hall casually.
"This type of restaurant usually has the busiest business in fall and winter, but the business should enter the off-season when the weather gets warm."
"However, this restaurant chose to open in the university city area, the location is good, and the stable customer flow can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent."
"You want to open a restaurant?"
Fang Ling smiled, "Just asking."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and answered seriously: "If you open a restaurant in these two years, it should still be good."
Fang Ling stared at Chen Fan with burning eyes, "You don't sound like a freshman college student with what you just said."
Chen Fan smiled, "I'm just casually talking nonsense."
"But I think what you said makes sense."
The meat plates were served, and Chen Fan took the initiative to grill the meat.
Fang Ling has an outgoing personality, and although the two were not very familiar, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"Okay, let me take over. You've already fed me until I'm full."
Fang Ling ate two large bowls and finally patted her stomach with satisfaction.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten so happily."
She then snatched the tongs from Chen Fan's hand.
"You've been grilling for me, but you haven't eaten much yourself. You have to finish the rest."
Chen Fan then drank some beverage and started to eat ravenously with his chopsticks.
Fang Ling smiled and stared at Chen Fan while flipping the meat with the tongs.
"There's actually something I've always been puzzled about."
"Since your computer skills are so good, why didn't you choose to major in computer science, but instead chose marketing?"
Chen Fan had his mouth full of meat and mumbled, "My girlfriend chose this major."
"You have a girlfriend?"
Fang Ling's eyes flickered, "Don't tell me it's that girl from the first time we met?"
"Yeah, she was my high school deskmate."
Fang Ling nodded, "A very beautiful girl, you're lucky."
Chen Fan looked up and grinned.
"Meeting her is the luckiest thing in my life."
Fang Ling stared blankly at Chen Fan.
She could see the undisguised happiness on Chen Fan's face when he mentioned his girlfriend.
It was clear that he really loved his girlfriend very much.
Recalling the suggestion her cousin mentioned to her before.
Fang Ling couldn't help but feel a tinge of bitterness.
"Senior, did you ask me out today because you have something going on?"
Chen Fan observed her expression and quickly guessed that Fang Ling probably had something she needed him for.
"Did your computer break down again?"
Chen Fan grinned, "Don't worry, I can help you with the repair for free this time."
Fang Ling's expression flickered, and she hurriedly adjusted her mood.
"No, no, what are you thinking?"
"Actually... I asked you out today because..."
Fang Ling was hesitating whether to tell Chen Fan about her plan.
Suddenly, a figure darted behind her and rushed right to their table.
"Ling'er, what a coincidence!"
Fang Ling was stunned and instinctively looked up. When she saw this person, her expression changed slightly.
Chen Fan looked at the young man in puzzlement, who seemed a few years older than Fang Ling, around thirty years old.
He was dressed in a crisp suit and leather shoes, with his black hair slicked back with pomade.
The guy wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked somewhat handsome.
Chen Fan thought he was Fang Ling's friend, so he smiled without saying anything.
However, Fang Ling's face instantly turned cold and impatient.
"Why are you here?"
"Liu Bo, are you stalking me?"
The gold-rimmed glasses guy named Liu Bo in front of them shook his head with a smile.
"How could that be? I just happened to pass by."
Fang Ling frowned and coldly snapped, "Passing by? And you just happened to run into me?"
"Hmph, you can try deceiving a three-year-old kid with your little cleverness. It won't work on me."
Hearing this, Liu Bo dropped the act and smiled as he spoke.
"You didn't answer my calls, so I had to come find you myself."
"Ling'er, don't forget that your parents were the ones who set us up together."
Fang Ling coldly snorted, "They're my parents, not me. If you want to chat, go find my parents."
"Hey, don't be like that."
Liu Bo smiled and took out two movie tickets from his pocket.
"I bought two movie tickets. Let's go watch a movie later?"
"Sorry, I don't have time."
After saying that, Fang Ling looked up at Chen Fan.
"Are you done eating?"
Chen Fan was just enjoying the show, but was suddenly asked a question and hurriedly nodded.
"Full?"
"Then let's go."
Fang Ling stood up, grabbed her bag, and completely ignored Liu Bo in front of her as she turned and headed towards the counter.
Liu Bo stood aside, watching the two leave together, even with Fang Ling taking the initiative to pay the bill. Especially when Fang Ling looked at Chen Fan with a gentle, sweet smile.
Liu Bo was displeased and coldly snorted before quickly chasing after them.
"Fang Ling, stop right there!"
He rushed forward to block the two of them.
"What are you doing?" Fang Ling looked at him with disgust.
"Who is he?"
Liu Bo pointed at Chen Fan.
"Who is this kid?"
Fang Ling suddenly moved closer to Chen Fan and affectionately linked her arm around Chen Fan's with a tender expression.
"I forgot to introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Chen Fan."
"Liu Bo, you should go pursue other women from now on. We're not destined to be together."
Chen Fan stood still, completely baffled.
What's going on?
After just one meal, he became the boyfriend?
Moreover, with Fang Ling clinging to his arm so affectionately, Chen Fan didn't dare move.
Although separated by the sweater, Chen Fan could still clearly feel that trembling sensation.
It made his heart waver.
"Impossible. When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't I know?"
Liu Bo sounded unconvinced as he shouted loudly, "Your aunt told me you don't have a boyfriend!"
Fang Ling smiled.
"Sorry, we just got together last week."
"Now you know."
"Fang Ling! You're going too far!"
Liu Bo suddenly snorted coldly, as if he had been provoked.
"Don't forget it was your parents who set us up."
"It was the Fang family who wanted an alliance with the Liu family..."
Fang Ling sneered, "The Fang family allying with the Liu family? You can go ask, who's willing to marry whom, but I definitely won't agree."
After saying that, she linked arms with Chen Fan and sweetly said in a soft voice,
"Darling, let's go back."
Chen Fan shuddered and instinctively wanted to pull his arm back.
But Fang Ling stopped him with a threatening look.
"I... I'll ride the bike."
Chen Fan hurriedly explained.
"Oh. Then hurry up, someone's waiting for you."
Chen Fan was finally relieved and hurried over to push the bike, sweating profusely.
Seeing Chen Fan actually pushing out a woman's bicycle, Liu Bo suddenly laughed.
"This is the boyfriend you found?"
"He doesn't even have a car? He's actually riding a bicycle, and you're interested in a guy like that?"
He then quickly walked up to Chen Fan with a condescending cold sneer.
"Kid, I don't care where you came from."
"Name your price, leave her."
