Looking at Nalan Suqin's confident little face, Lin Fan's mouth curled into a faint smile.

"Any plans for the afternoon?" Lin Fan chuckled and asked.

"Sorry dear, there are many things waiting for me to handle at the company, so I can't accompany you. How about... you go find Song Monong?" Nalan Suqin said apologetically.

But when she mentioned Song Monong's name, Nalan Suqin sneakily glanced at Lin Fan, eager to see his reaction!

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan smiled bitterly; the women around him were clever as foxes. It seemed his relationship with the Song Sisters was already seen through by them!

"You go ahead and get busy, just as well, I'm tired these past few days, I'll take a nap!" Lin Fan smiled.

"Alright! I'll come back to keep you company tonight!" Nalan Suqin blinked at Lin Fan flirtatiously.

Then, the woman suddenly approached Lin Fan, stood on tiptoe, and those enticing red lips came close to Lin Fan's face. Her mouth gently opened, releasing a charming aroma that flowed straight into Lin Fan's nose!

"Smooch!"

Nalan Suqin gave Lin Fan a firm kiss on the side of his face, leaving a lipstick mark!

"Minx, don't you know teasing women is a wrong thing to do!"

Lin Fan said with a smile, just as he was about to reach out and hug Nalan Suqin, she was already prepared and quickly stepped back, dodging him!

Nalan Suqin raised her lips, threw Lin Fan a defiant look, and alluringly laughed, "Little man, wait until I come back tonight to punish you!"

After speaking, with delightful laughter, Nalan Suqin turned and left!

Watching Nalan Suqin's enchanting back, Lin Fan also had a satisfied smile on his face.

Fortunately, the women around him were not just pretty faces; they could help him hold up the sky. If each were just seeking pleasure and laziness, only knowing how to ask for money, it would wear Lin Fan out!

Ding-dong~

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang, it was a message.

Lin Fan took out his phone, glanced at it. On the screen, a message appeared: "I'm waiting for you at the old mansion's gate!"

The message was from Cao Yanmei!

Upon seeing the message, Lin Fan was not surprised; it was all within his expectations.

"The matter in the Southeast should be settled, Cao Family, completely withdraw from the Southeast stage!"

Lin Fan laughed lightly to himself, then turned to walk out of the old mansion! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At that time, on the right side of the old mansion's gate, a Mercedes SUV was parked. Seeing Lin Fan exit, the SUV flashed its lights at Lin Fan twice, Lin Fan quickly walked over, opened the car door, and sat in the car!

Inside the car, an irresistible fragrance abounded, giving one the feeling of walking into a garden!

Sitting across from Lin Fan was a woman wearing a black trench coat and a sweater with a high collar. Although it covered her swan-like white neck, the bulge of her chest was even more pronounced!

A model beauty with an oval face paired with delicate features, though not causing men to immediately turn beastly, they indeed linger over it!

This person was Cao Yanmei!

After Lin Fan sat in the car, he lit a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, took a deep drag, and gently exhaled the smoke, appreciating Cao Yanmei's captivating profile, he smiled and said, "Why did you call me out?"

"Speaking of which, since we first met, we have never sat together for a meal, so... today I plan to play host!" Cao Yanmei said in a flat tone.

Lin Fan shrugged, indicating he had no objection!

Cao Yanmei did not hesitate, started the SUV, and left Cao Family's Old Mansion!

In the Southeast City Center, there was a well-known tea house. People only knew its deep background, but no one knew who its owner was!

Cao Yanmei parked the car in the parking lot, then both she and Lin Fan got out and entered the tea house!

"Miss Cao!" The beautiful receptionist hurriedly approached, greeted Cao Yanmei respectfully upon seeing her.

Cao Yanmei nodded, said, "The usual spot, have the kitchen serve up my regular dishes."

"Understood!" The pretty receptionist respectfully nodded, then made an inviting gesture, leading Cao Yanmei and Lin Fan to the third floor!

The tea house was entirely wooden, antique and elegantly fragrant. Upon reaching the third floor, there were only four private rooms, named Spring Orchid, Summer Bamboo, Autumn Chrysanthemum, Winter Plum!

The receptionist arrived at the Winter Plum's room door, opened it, and Cao Yanmei and Lin Fan walked inside, as the receptionist respectfully withdrew!

The private room was very spacious, inside there was a raised heated brick bed, with a mat laid on top, on which was a wooden table!

"This place is quite unique!" Lin Fan smiled.

"Glad you like it." Cao Yanmei smiled.

"Technically, tea houses don't serve meals, how do you have such privileges? Aren't you a VIP?" Lin Fan joked, took off his shoes, and got onto the heated brick bed, sitting on it, his rear comfortably warm.

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Cao Yanmei gave Lin Fan a meaningful look and said, "With your intelligence, can't you guess?"

"Haha!" Lin Fan laughed awkwardly.

From the receptionist's respect and her commanding tone, she clearly carried herself with the air of an owner.

"This tea house was indeed funded by me and has no connection with the Cao Family!" Cao Yanmei said.

Lin Fan nodded without responding, pushed open the window. Outside the tea house, there was a pond.

In winter, a thick layer of ice had formed on the pond, with many people playing on the ice, it was very lively.

Beside the pond were rows of weeping willows, though the leaves had withered, the drooping branches were covered in hoarfrost, one after another, under the sunlight, they shone a dazzling silver light, looking very beautiful!

"Sitting inside and watching the scene outside is quite a pleasure!" Lin Fan chuckled softly.

Not long after, the receptionist personally brought up a pot of premium tea, followed by four uniquely styled, yet wonderfully fragrant and flavorful Southeast local dishes being served up, along with a bottle of rice wine!

Cao Yanmei personally poured Lin Fan a cup of hot tea and a cup of rice wine!

Lin Fan picked up the hot tea and sniffed it before his nose, smiled and said, "Aged Da Hong Pao, this kind of tea is hard to procure outside!"

"This was given by a friend long ago, without very dear friends, it's rarely taken out." Cao Yanmei nodded.

"Oh? So saying that, I am a very dear friend in Miss Cao's heart?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Cao Yanmei remained composed, lifted her beautiful eyes to stare at Lin Fan, said, "Aren't you?"

"Miss Cao, as the saying goes, when someone suddenly becomes very attentive, it's suspicious. You're not just asking me to eat, are you? Whatever it is, just say it!"

After speaking, Lin Fan picked up the hot tea, sipped a mouthful, eyes consistently fixed on Cao Yanmei!

Wondering what tricks this woman wanted to play!
