From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 82: A Man Who Can Be Criticized by Everyone

Nan Qiao finished work and at the company’s entrance, she spotted an unfamiliar car worth no more than a hundred thousand or so.

The car window lowered, and his sharp eyes instantly softened into a doting gaze.

Nan Qiao looked around and, seeing no acquaintances, got into Li Yehan’s car.

Liang Zhiyuan just happened to walk out of the company and noticed Nan Qiao’s actions.

He took out his phone and called a friend, "Help me look up a license plate number."

Liang Zhiyuan only waited a moment before the person on the other end gave him a reply; it was just a car frequently used for ride-hailing.

Liang Zhiyuan sneered disdainfully, "I thought Nan Qiao was such a pure woman, but it turns out she’s keeping a young man on the side while her sugar daddy is away!"

A ride-hailing driver?

Nan Qiao truly knew no cold, she would stoop to anything.

...

Meanwhile, inside the car.

Nan Qiao, seeing a different driver, asked curiously, "Is this your car?"

Li Yehan spoke softly, "Secretary Zhao called this ride for me. Aren’t you afraid people will recognize me? This should be low-key, right?"

"Where’s Secretary Zhao?"

"He stayed back at the company to handle some things."

Nan Qiao chuckled, finding Li Yehan’s confusion amusing.

The playful smile adorning her face and the captivating charm in her eyes fatally attracted Li Yehan.

Every glance and every smile from Nan Qiao tugged at his heart.

He leaned closer to Nan Qiao, his magnetic voice smooth and seductive, "Don’t... tempt... me."

The words were light as a feather brushing past Nan Qiao’s heart.

This ride had no partition, and the driver kept his focus on the road, not daring to watch Li Yehan and Nan Qiao’s movements through the rearview mirror.

The guest was dressed in a custom-made business suit, exuding a formidable presence; he had countless passengers before and knew at a glance that Li Yehan was either wealthy or noble.

Was this wealthy CEO picking up his delicate wife to take her home?

The driver drove attentively and soon arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.

The manager at the restaurant’s entrance saw the cheap car approach and frowned in displeasure.

"Move along swiftly, don’t block the way. What if you inconvenience our guests!"

He was nervous with anticipation as Mr. Li was supposed to dine there shortly, and he couldn’t afford to offend the gentleman.

Li Yehan emerged from the back seat, his noble air and features like those sculpted by a master artist. The manager instantly recognized him as Mr. Li he was waiting for.

The manager hurried to Li Yehan’s side, "Mr. Li."

Seeing that Li Yehan ignored him and was about to open the car door on the other side, the manager reached out to help but retracted his hand quickly when met with a sharp look from Li Yehan.

Nan Qiao was about to open the car door when Li Yehan got ahead and opened it for her, and she stepped out.

With a face both pure and desirous, her delicate features complemented her flawless skin.

Her appearance made all the waitstaff at the restaurant entrance gape in awe.

Could she possibly be a celestial being descending to earth?

Even in Nan Qiao’s simple work attire, the legs that peeked out were slender and straight.

Her willowy waist was delicate to the touch, and her ethereal aura made her stand out next to Li Yehan, complementing him perfectly.

Li Yehan and Nan Qiao walked inside to the very top floor of the restaurant.

Only one table was set in this serene atmosphere, an ideal spot for a date.

However, even those with money might not be able to secure a spot at the top floor.

Li Yehan took the initiative to pull out a chair for Nan Qiao and handed her coat to the waiter.

"Thank you," Nan Qiao said softly.

Li Yehan handed her the menu, "Take a look at what you’d like to eat."

Nan Qiao handed the menu back to Li Yehan, "I’m treating you today, you choose."

Nan Qiao didn’t want to owe Li Yehan anything; he always paid for their meals, and it was starting to make her uncomfortable.

Li Yehan glanced at the menu and ordered signature dishes like caviar, French foie gras, and steak...

...

Zhou Jingya and Lu Zhengyang also came to this restaurant to dine.

Zhou Jingya wore an expensive evening gown, the one Zhou Hongqi had custom-made for her to curry favor with the Li Family.

Wearing it today to dine out with Lu Zhengyang was apt.

As soon as Lu Zhengyang sat down and ordered, he couldn’t wait to ask, "Xiao Ya, did the Li Family really say they would invest in your Zhou Family’s company?"

"Yes, Grandpa Li told my dad himself."

Lu Zhengyang’s gaze heated up.

Holding Zhou Jingya’s hand, he said tenderly and indulgently, "Xiao Ya, it’s wonderful that the Li Family is investing in your company. I was worried when your family faced troubles."

Zhou Jingya smiled lightly and withdrew her hand, "Brother Zhengyang, I sought your help before, and you wouldn’t answer my calls."

"It’s all because of my phone’s glitches. I’ve got a new one now, and you can call me anytime, 24/7, I’ll definitely answer."

Zhou Jingya saw an opportunity and took it, "Dad is thinking of getting more money from the Li Family to expand the business. Brother Zhengyang, why don’t you collaborate with the company you’re in charge of?"

Lu Zhengyang’s eyes shone with excitement.

"Xiao Ya, I knew you’d consider my company. Once I make some money, I’ll buy you a beautiful piece of jewelry."

Zhou Jingya radiated confidence, "You said so, Brother Zhengyang."

"My word is my bond, Xiao Ya, once we’re married, all my money is yours to spend."

Zhou Jingya coyly looked at Lu Zhengyang, bashful, "Brother Zhengyang, what are you saying."

"Xiao Ya, in this life, I’ll marry no one but you. Don’t you want to marry me?"

The two locked eyes, and the server bringing the wine wished he could set up a bed for them.

This is a restaurant, not a hotel!

The server, speechless, served the wine and left the area.

After a satisfying meal, Zhou Jingya said, "Brother Zhengyang, I’m going to the restroom."

Zhou Jingya left on that note, and when she exited the restroom, she saw Nan Qiao walking with a tall, handsome man.

The look in the man’s eyes at Nan Qiao was anything but innocent!

Zhou Jingya approached and saw the manager bowing and scraping to the two, utterly servile.

Zhou Jingya frowned, "That bitch Nan Qiao, how come every man she meets is more capable than the last!"

It wasn’t until Nan Qiao’s figure was out of sight that Zhou Jingya went back to Lu Zhengyang.

After Zhou Jingya was sent home by Lu Zhengyang, she still pondered over the question.

Liu Yanfang approached her upon her return, "Xiao Ya, have you noticed your dad has been acting strange lately? He hasn’t been home these past two days. Can the company really be that busy? Maybe he’s found someone else."

Zhou Jingya snapped back to reality and reassured softly, "Mom, dad must be very busy. I’ve been interning at the company, and he’s indeed preoccupied every day. Plus, with these issues arising, it’s a lot to deal with."

Liu Yanfang breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good to hear. Xiao Ya, from now on, keep an eye on your dad for me."

"Mom, don’t worry, nobody can tear our family of three apart. Dad loves you so much; you’re the only one in his heart and eyes."

Mother and daughter laughed and chatted until Zhou Hongqi returned.

Zhou Jingya stepped forward, wanting to discuss the collaboration with Lu Zhengyang’s company.

A resounding slap left Zhou Jingya stunned.
