Chapter 133: Chapter 133
When it comes to beautiful women, Lin Fan never had much resistance, especially when it came to a 9 out of 10 beauty who came with kindness.
One must admit, beauties really make things easier. If it were a man, Lin Fan would have turned him down right away.
After shaking hands, Chu Yufei returned to the party.
It was just a minor episode, so Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it much and helped Anna out.
At the elevator, Lin Fan was waiting for it to arrive.
With no one around, all of a sudden, He Dahong caught up.
"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment," He Dahong said politely.
Lin Fan knew why he came but pretended not to, saying, "Mr. He, is something the matter?"
He Dahong chuckled awkwardly and said, "There’s something I don’t know how to start with Mr. Lin. I just want to say, regardless of any negative rumors about our charity event that Mr. Lin might hear, it’s all a big misunderstanding."
Lin Fan replied, "I’m not quite sure I understand what Mr. He means? Why not just speak plainly?"
He Dahong hesitated for a moment, then said, "It’s about the use of our charity funds. Has Mr. Lin heard any negative rumors?"
He Dahong was quite the old fox, trying to get a read on Lin Fan’s thoughts.
Lin Fan responded with an "Oh," "No, I haven’t. Why would Mr. He say such a thing?"
He Dahong quickly replied, "Haha, I was just a bit worried, that’s all. If not, that’s great."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then there’s nothing more, right?"
He Dahong laughed, "Nothing more."
By then, the elevator had arrived. Lin Fan helped Anna inside and said, "Since Mr. He mentioned the use of charity funds, I believe that we who engage in charity should strictly adhere to the bottom line and use the funds appropriately, never diverting them elsewhere. If such actions were exposed, it would surely ruin our reputations. What do you think, Mr. He?"
Upon hearing this, He Dahong couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, forcing a smile, "Mr. Lin is absolutely right!"
"Goodbye," Lin Fan waved with a smile, and the elevator doors closed.
He Dahong wiped his cold sweat away; Lin Fan’s words were like warnings to him, whether it was deliberate or not was unclear!
He Dahong was left somewhat doubtful; Lin Fan denied hearing any rumors, so was Lin Fan’s earlier statement about gifting Anna a million-dollar diamond necklace just a coincidence?
In the end, Lin Fan didn’t expose He Dahong, opting instead to caution him because Lin Fan didn’t want to make a fuss. He also hoped He Dahong would correct his mistakes. If He Dahong could change, it would count as a good deed for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan and Anna left the Jindu Grand Hotel.
Anna was getting more drunk, but after a breeze from outside, she sobered up a bit and said, "Master, my motorcycle is over there. Can you help me over to it?"
Lin Fan remarked, sweating, "You’re so drunk, better not drive. I’ll take you home; you can pick up your bike tomorrow."
Anna wasn’t keen on riding in Lin Fan’s car, but since she could barely walk straight, she didn’t insist, letting Lin Fan help her into the passenger seat of the Kosak.
Once in the car, Anna leaned her head back and fell asleep.
Lin Fan looked at her flushed, drunk face and smiled, this level of drunkenness was just right.
He didn’t pity her at all. Instead, he found it rather amusing, enjoying the sight of this usually fierce lady who, when drunk, appeared as vulnerable as any other woman, teasing his imagination.
Lin Fan bent down, intending to fasten her seatbelt, when suddenly Anna reached out, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Don’t go..." Anna mumbled.
This housekeeper sure lived up to her military training, her grip was surprisingly strong, pulling Lin Fan into her embrace in their first intimate hug.
Lin Fan felt her soft body, a mix of alcohol and her scent assaulting his senses, nearly overwhelming him.
"Could it be this woman was captivated by my charm, and now that she’s drunk, she’s finally confessing her feelings?" Lin Fan thought proudly.
But then Anna mumbled again, "Don’t go... dad."
Lin Fan was at a loss.
He was being delusional, wasn’t he? This woman took him for her dad!
Lin Fan coughed awkwardly and pushed Anna away, saying, "You can’t just call someone dad."
He then got into the car and drove back to Yunding Manor.
After Lin Fan and Anna left, Feng Wanshan found a secluded corner and made a phone call.
"Arrange something for me; I want to teach that kid Lin Fan a lesson!" Feng Wanshan said, a flash of malice in his eyes.
Ever since the failure at the Yunding Manor auction, Lin Fan has repeatedly made him uncomfortable. Tonight, Lin Fan embarrassed him again, stealing the limelight at the party and getting Anna drunk. Feng Wanshan couldn’t swallow his anger anymore.
This time, he must make Lin Fan fall hard so that he knows who Feng Wanshan is.
Lin Fan, of course, was unaware of all this.
He drove the car back to Yunding Manor.
Anna leaned her head again, seemingly lost in her drunken sleep.
Remembering the scene earlier, Lin Fan curiously asked, "Why did you ask your dad not to leave earlier? What happened?"
But Anna was already sound asleep, not answering his question.
Lin Fan didn’t press further, focusing on driving.
Soon, they returned to Yunding Manor; it was already late at night.
Lin Fan parked the car and helped Anna out, bringing her into the mansion.
Lin Shanshan, to make school easier, decided to stay at school today, leaving only Lin Fan and Anna in the house.
Entering the living room, Lin Fan helped Anna lie down on the sofa.
Anna’s face was still flushed, showing no sign of waking.
"Water..." a drunk Anna mumbled with a pained expression.
"You got drunk and need me to take care of you. Who’s the master here?" Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, walked over to make her a cup of hot tea.
Returning to the sofa, Lin Fan sat down, moved Anna’s head onto his lap, and fed her tea.
Watching the beautiful woman drink tea, Lin Fan felt his throat dry a bit. I have to admit, at this moment, Anna was so alluring, and their posture was somewhat intimate...
"I’m a gentleman, I can’t take advantage of the situation," Lin Fan reminded himself, resisting any temptation, knowing that once awake, she could kill him.
After feeding Anna the tea, Lin Fan wanted to leave. He feared if he stayed any longer, he might commit a crime.
He decided Anna would sleep on the sofa for the night.
But as he moved, Anna suddenly grabbed his hand and mumbled again, "Don’t go... dad, don’t leave me..."
She clung to Lin Fan’s hand tightly, as if it were a lifeline.
Lin Fan couldn’t break free, so he let her rest.
Anna finally quieted down, peacefully resting her head on Lin Fan’s lap, falling asleep again, yet still gripping Lin Fan tightly, as if to prevent him from leaving.
Perhaps because she addressed him as "dad" a few times, Lin Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable paternal love.
The initial urge he had towards Anna vanished completely.
"Sis, am I starting to feel protective towards this enemy?" Lin Fan sighed.
Time passed unknowingly, and Lin Fan got sleepy, eventually dozing off.
Sunlight streamed through the windows, flooding the sofa with light.
Anna suddenly opened her eyes, now fully awake.
The first thing she saw was Lin Fan!
Lin Fan was asleep above her, head tilted and a hand resting on her, while her head lay on Lin Fan’s thigh, hands wrapped around his knee...
Anna suddenly remembered, she was drunk last night and came back with Lin Fan...
"Sis! Did we sleep all night?"
With that thought, Anna’s face flushed red with embarrassment. This posture was way too shameful!
