An hour later.
Su Yurou's eyes were teary as she nestled in Lin Fan's arms, playfully scolding, "You're so bad!"
Lin Fan grinned smugly, about to speak, when a muffled sound came from beneath him: "The big windmill turns with a creak..."
It turned out his phone was pressed under his backside, its ringtone blaring.
"Xiao Fan, what's that noise?"
Su Yurou was groggy, her body feeling like it had fallen apart, lacking any strength.
"Let me see."
Lin Fan hadn't intended to answer, but he worried it might be his sister-in-law or Song Yue calling, and not picking up might make them anxious.
If his sister-in-law was calling, he certainly wouldn't bear to make her worry about him.
He shifted his backside, picked up his phone, and was stunned: "Tian Mengyao?"
Looking at the words "Secretary Tian" displayed on the screen, a little anger rose in his heart.
"To support your work, I've even emptied my reserves."
What was she calling for so late at night?
Su Yurou raised her eyelids and asked, "Who is it?"
"Don't worry about it."
Lin Fan impatiently pressed the reject button.
Wouldn't it be better to be comfortably holding a beauty and sleeping? Who had time for her!
Unexpectedly.
As soon as Lin Fan put down his phone, it vibrated again.
"The big windmill..."
The pleasant children's song echoed in the air.
"Damn it, is this going to go on forever!"
Lin Fan thought Tian Mengyao was crazy. Why would she keep calling so late at night about something urgent?
Fortunately, he had already finished enjoying himself. If he had been interrupted at the height of his pleasure, he would have felt like killing someone!
*Slap!*
Lin Fan pressed the reject button again.
He figured that any normal person with a bit of sense wouldn't call again.
The cooperative now depended on him for funds. He figured even if Tian Mengyao was displeased, she'd have to swallow her pride.
*Buzz buzz!*
The phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Lin Fan felt an urge to go mad. This person was truly sick!
He grabbed his phone, cursing Tian Mengyao internally for being crazy.
However, the next second, he didn't dare to curse anymore.
Tian Mengyao had actually sent a text message: "Lin Fan, you dare to hang up on me?"
"Just you wait, I'm coming over immediately, ten minutes at most!"
Holy crap!
"Are you even human?"
Lin Fan cursed furiously.
Su Yurou sensed something was wrong and asked inexplicably, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"
Lin Fan turned his head, seeing a field of white.
However, he was not in the mood to admire the scenery right now.
He was so angry, gritting his teeth, he replied, "Our village party secretary is coming over later."
"What?" Su Yurou found it unbelievable. "So late at night..."
What kind of village party secretary would stay up all night to visit a young man's home?
"Then I... I'll get dressed."
Su Yurou thought about it, and at most, she could hide in the room and not come out.
What if she was discovered?
He wasn't married and she wasn't married. Could the village party secretary forbid villagers from dating?
"No, you need to leave quickly."
Lin Fan was incredibly frustrated.
He could have spent the night holding his beautiful woman, but now it was all ruined by Tian Mengyao!
"Leave?"
Su Yurou felt a pang in her heart.
Did she not even have the right to be here?
When Wang Ying came, she even went out for a stroll.
Why treat her...
Thinking this, Su Yurou couldn't help but feel self-pity.
"What are you thinking?"
Lin Fan put his arm around Su Yurou's slender shoulder and explained, "This Secretary Tian is obsessed with money right now, thinking day and night about how to get the village's medicinal herb planting cooperative up and running."
"If your sports car is parked outside my door, then when I say I have no money, she definitely won't believe it!"
Lin Fan kissed Su Yurou's beautiful face and continued, "I've really put in both money and effort, and I've done everything I could."
"Why does she have to squeeze one sheep until it's bald?"
Su Yurou chuckled, "Then I'll go back."
She had originally intended to say she would hide outside and return after the village party secretary left.
However, she felt it was too embarrassing, as if she couldn't live without Lin Fan and was desperately clinging to his bed.
"I truly can't bear to part with you."
Lin Fan tightened his embrace, filled with regret.
Su Yurou's heart melted.
She rubbed her face against Lin Fan's chest and said softly, "Let me go, your village party secretary will be here soon."
She was completely unclothed and truly feared a wrinkled old man with a shiny bald head suddenly barging in.
"I'll help you get dressed."
Lin Fan chuckled, picked up clothes from the floor, and helped her put them on one by one.
"I'm leaving!"
Su Yurou didn't have time to reapply her makeup or tidy herself up.
"Let me see you out."
Lin Fan reluctantly escorted her to the door.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, quickly ran back into the house, grabbed a few herbs for clearing heat and moistening the lungs from the medicine cabinet, and shouted, "Wait, stop smoking from now on. Boil these in water to drink; it's good for your health."
He wrapped the herbs and ran back to the door, handing them to Su Yurou.
Su Yurou took the herbs, her heart warming instantly. "Xiao Fan~"
For the first time, without any ulterior motives, she truly hugged Lin Fan and gave him a passionate kiss.
After a lingering moment.
Su Yurou said reluctantly, "I really have to go now. It'll be trouble if your secretary sees me."
As she spoke, Su Yurou turned, walked with a seductive gait, and got into the driver's seat.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to wave, blowing a kiss to Lin Fan.
"Alas~"
Lin Fan watched the taillights of the car gradually fade into the night, unable to help but sigh a few times.
If the law allowed...
Wouldn't that mean he could marry many...
"What are you sighing about?"
At some unknown time, Tian Mengyao had already appeared beside him.
He jumped in surprise, "What the!"
"When did you get here?"
Although Lin Fan had sharp hearing and keen eyesight, his mind was full of distractions just then, so he hadn't noticed a living person standing next to him.
"What do you think?"
Tian Mengyao was furious when she remembered. "I called you twice, and you hung up on me!"
"You forced me to come to your place in the middle of the night, and you're asking me?"
Tian Mengyao was enraged, poking Lin Fan's chest repeatedly with her index finger.
Lin Fan pushed her hand away and retorted indignantly, "Are you sick, calling this late at night? I was sleeping naked, weren't you annoying calling nonstop?"
"You... what does it have to do with me if you're sleeping?"
Tian Mengyao's face flushed slightly, thinking to herself, "Sleeping is sleeping, why mention being naked? Shameless!"
There was nothing he could do.
No matter how upset he was, since she had already come, Lin Fan couldn't give her the cold shoulder.
"Come in."
Lin Fan said, then turned and walked into the courtyard.
Tian Mengyao followed close behind.
And so, the two entered the house, one after the other.
