Chapter 184 Bear All Consequences Yourself
Then she stood up, slapped him, and cursed, "Liar!"
Just yesterday morning, Doctor Luo had sworn to her that she was the only one in his eyes and that he would love only her for the rest of their lives. Yet, unexpectedly, he went to visit prostitutes in the afternoon — a complete deceit by Chi Luoluo.
Now, she had finally seen Doctor Luo's true character; he was so corrupt, so lustful, so shamelessly thick-skinned.
Doctor Luo, covering his slapped face, repeatedly apologized, "Xiangmei, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Get lost! I never want to see you again," Li Xiangmei shouted angrily.
However, Doctor Luo didn't leave immediately but instead looked towards Lin Yifan; here, Lin Yifan was the boss, and without his permission, he dared not simply leave.
"I told you to get lost, why are you looking at me?" Lin Yifan said impatiently.
It was only then that Doctor Luo dejectedly left the room.
Watching Doctor Luo's hurried retreat, Xiaoqing smirked smugly, then turned to Lin Yifan and gave him a thumbs-up, "Handsome guy! You really talk a good talk! But, I'm curious, how did you know the pervy Doctor Luo went to pick up prostitutes yesterday afternoon, unless yesterday afternoon you too…"
Hearing Xiaoqing say this, Li Xiangmei immediately became serious; if Lin Yifan was such a lecherous man, she would definitely not accept his advances.
"Ahem!" Under the curious scrutiny of the two women, Lin Yifan coughed twice and then replied solemnly, "Yes! Yesterday afternoon, I was indeed at Nansha Foot City."
"Pervert!" Suddenly, before he could finish, Li Xiangmei threw the chopsticks from the table at him.
Lin Yifan caught them neatly, then said, "Don't get angry, can you let me finish speaking?"
"Doesn't it end up being the same as pervy Doctor Luo's?" Xiaoqing asked.
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Lin Yifan replied irritably, then revealed the truth, "I went there to seek revenge; unexpectedly, I ended up discovering a henhouse by accident, and that's how I learned about that pervy Doctor Luo's activities."
Hearing that Lin Yifan had gone to seek revenge alone at the Xiaodao Society branch, she was shocked; she also felt skeptical, thinking it was not true.
"Otherwise, why would Doctor Luo be so afraid of me?" Lin Yifan countered.
With that question, Xiaoqing also felt it made sense; if Lin Yifan was such a formidable person, why would Doctor Luo be afraid of him?
"Handsome guy! With you being so formidable, sister Xiangmei marrying you would definitely not be bullied," Xiaoqing said giggling.
Now, she just wanted to smooth things over, to turn a falsehood into the truth.
Hearing this, both parties fell silent. However, their reactions were different.
Lin Yifan looked troubled, as his recent confession was false; he did not want Li Xiangmei to take it for real and accept him based on that confession.
Meanwhile, Li Xiangmei appeared joyful. She had a fondness for Lin Yifan, and now he had helped her get rid of Doctor Luo, her unscrupulous boyfriend, and had confessed his feelings for her, making her feel that not only did she not lose anything, but she actually gained from it.
Lin Yifan did not want to be misunderstood again, so he clarified his earlier confession, "Miss Li, actually I..."
However, just as he was about to continue, Xiaoqing interrupted him, "Actually, Mr. Lin really likes you; he's just too shy to say it."
"I know," Li Xiangmei replied shyly, her head bowed and smiling sweetly.
"Oh no..." Seeing Li Xiangmei's reaction, Lin Yifan felt that things were going badly; the worst scenario he had feared was indeed happening; so, he turned around, glaring at Xiaoqing, "Miss Xiaoqing, you..."
"Mr. Lin, don't say any more, the food is getting cold, let's eat," Xiaoqing hastily interrupted, not wanting Lin Yifan to expose the whole affair.
You can't cover up the truth forever, better a short pain than a long one. In order to spare Li Xiangmei future pain, Lin Yifan decided to tell the truth, "Miss Li, my confession just now..."
But this time, it wasn't Xiaoqing who interrupted him; it was Li Xiangmei, "I know. Please give me some time to think, I will give you my answer in a few days."
"Pfft!"
Eating in a hurry, worried about the truth coming out, Xiaoqing was caught off-guard by Li Xiangmei's words and accidentally spat out the rice she was about to swallow.
She didn't know that Li Xiangmei also had feelings for the handsome guy next to her.
"It's over! It's all over! If sister Xiangmei finds out the truth, is she going to beat me to death?" Xiaoqing was somewhat scared.
While she might delay the inevitable temporarily, the truth would collapse eventually. Now, to keep the situation from unraveling, she could only encourage Lin Yifan to dump his current girlfriend, but would he listen to her?
Meanwhile, Lin Yifan was also surprised; he hadn't expected her to consider his confession, which implied that Li Xiangmei was somewhat interested in him.
"Ah, whatever! If anything happens, I'll just blame it on Xiaoqing," Lin Yifan thought to himself, then began eating energetically.
And so, the three of them ate in silence, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.
After dinner, as Lin Yifan passed by Xiaoqing, he murmured, "You're responsible for what follows."
Xiaoqing was thunderstruck, not expecting Lin Yifan to actually shift all the blame onto her; watching Lin Yifan's retreating figure, she stomped her foot in frustration and muttered angrily, "Hmph! Petty man, no backbone, not a real man."
After sending the two women back, Lin Yifan drove back to his rental apartment.
Just stepping out of the elevator, the neighbor, the beautiful broadcaster Han Meiling, rushed over and hugged him.
"Neighbor Lin, today, I helped your company earn a big sum of money; how will you thank me?" Han Meiling asked coyly.
Glancing at Han Meiling, Lin Yifan smirked, "How about I repay you with my body?"
"I'm not making such a losing deal," Han Meiling pouted in response.
"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Lin Yifan asked.
