School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Xu Fan didn't feel he was being shameless, but now, locked out by those two girls, he really didn't have much money on him, so there was no need to "swell his face to look fat."

Xiao Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Well then, it's been a long time since I've dined out, so today you'll accompany me, little brother."

After she spoke, Xiao Lan greeted the supermarket staff and was about to go upstairs to change her clothes when Xu Fan grabbed her delicate hand and teased, "Lan, you don't need to change. If you dress up anymore, won't others die of envy because of me?"

Her fiery red lips, curly flowing hair, and the black silk legs under the short black dress, stepping in high heels, all radiated Xiao Lan's mature and enchanting charm...

Xu Fan was not just complimenting; Xiao Lan was as beautiful as a ripe peach ready to be plucked. If she dressed up any further, she could truly cause a national disaster.

Of course, there was another reason: once Xiao Lan went upstairs, those two girls might be saved.

He was thinking of keeping them around a bit longer.

"Hmph, little rascal, always so sweet-talking!"

Xiao Lan glared at Xu Fan playfully, shook off his hand, and then led him to the underground garage.

"Can you drive?"

By this time, Xiao Lan had led Xu Fan to her parking spot and asked.

"Of course."

Xu Fan took the keys thrown by Xiao Lan and raised an eyebrow as he sized up her car.

A white Bentley Continental, costing about five million...

Xu Fan glanced at Xiao Lan multiple times, realizing that his unassuming, beautiful landlady's background wasn't as simple as he had thought.

But Xu Fan didn't ask; he was never one for gossip.

Now at the driver's seat, Xu Fan asked, "Lan, where shall we eat?"

After thinking for a bit, Xiao Lan said, "I heard there's a new Western restaurant in Ziyun Building called Cloud Top Restaurant. Let's try it."

"Alright, I'll follow your lead."

Xu Fan nodded and skillfully opened the GPS to drive towards Ziyun Building.

By the time they arrived at their destination, it was night, and Ziyun Building was surrounded by twinkling neon lights and ceaseless traffic, looking very beautiful indeed.

Xu Fan parked the car in a nearby underground parking lot and followed Xiao Lan into Ziyun Building.

Located on the top floor of Ziyun Building, they took an elevator straight to the top floor, where Xu Fan and Xiao Lan headed for the entrance of Cloud Top Restaurant.

"Please wait a moment."

But before they could enter, two waiters stepped forward and blocked them.

Xiao Lan frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Can't we go in?"

"I apologize, that's not what I meant."

The head waiter shook his head and pointed at Xu Fan, saying, "It's just that this gentleman's attire isn't quite suitable..."

Not resembling those in suits and leather shoes inside Cloud Top Restaurant, Xu Fan was just in a tank top and shorts. It was natural for the waiter to stop him since no one could be sure if this construction worker-like fellow could actually pay up when the time came.

"What? You think we can't settle the bill? Is this card not enough?"

Xiao Lan, somewhat angry, pulled out a diamond card from her bag and said, "Take a good look."

"This..."

The other party glanced at it and his face changed dramatically!

A Jinling Bank diamond card! One must have at least ten million in the account to get this, this woman is not to be messed with!

"It's all right, it's all right, please come in."

Instantly, his attitude did a complete one-eighty, and with a wave of his hand, he respectfully let the two into the Cloud Top Restaurant.

The Cloud Top Restaurant catered to high-end customers; therefore, even though it was newly opened, the place was not fully seated.

Xu Fan and his companion chose a spot by the window and walked over.

From here, one could overlook the entire cityscape of Jinling City, especially now at night, with neon lights flickering and streams of cars like a colorful river, which was quite romantic.

Influenced by the restaurant's saxophone music, Xiao Lan looked at the night view outside the window, somewhat entranced, and after a while, she finally turned her head.

"Having been in Jinling for so long, this is the first time I've discovered such a beautiful night view."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Xu Fan opposite her, only to find him staring straight at her.

"Yes, it really is beautiful."

Whether Xu Fan referred to the scenery or the person was too obvious. Caught by his fiery gaze, Xiao Lan's cheeks turned slightly red and she shyly gave him a white look, scolding, "Stop it..."

Xu Fan smiled, and was about to call the waiter over to order, when he glanced to one side and noticed a man accompanied by two burly subordinates in black suits approaching them.

The man wore a neat Armani suit and under his tidy short hair was a handsome face carved like a blade, only the scar across his forehead added some underworld flair to his smile now.

Xu Fan was sure that he had no connection with this guy, which meant, he was probably targeting Xiao Lan opposite him.

The man walked up to Xiao Lan, smiled, and said, "Sister Lan, it's been a long time since I've seen you out."

Xiao Lan looked up and on seeing the man before her, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, and she managed a faint smile, saying, "Chen Longhu, long time no see."

Chen Longhu nodded, then his gaze fell on Xu Fan opposite him, and after sizing him up, he smugly smiled and said, "Sister Lan, this one couldn't possibly be a relative of yours from the countryside, could he?"

From Xu Fan's outfit, Chen Longhu really doubted if he could afford even one of his socks.

Teasing Xu Fan, Chen Longhu didn't care whether Xu Fan was happy or not, he looked at Xiao Lan and said, "It's my honor to have Sister Lan dine at my newly opened restaurant today, why don't we have dinner together?"

"This..."

"Go, add another seat for me."

Before Xiao Lan could refuse, Chen Longhu took the initiative to ask his subordinates to bring over a chair and sat directly next to Xiao Lan.

"Sister Lan, we're old friends, a meal invite from me shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

Sitting next to Xiao Lan, Chen Longhu's gaze carried a hint of aggression as he asked.

With the man already sitting down, Xiao Lan found herself unable to utter a refusal and looked apologetically at Xu Fan across from her.

What was supposed to be a lovely dinner had turned into this...

"Since you insist, let's eat together then."

Seeing Xiao Lan nod in agreement, Chen Longhu smiled, grandly gestured to a nearby waiter, and requested the menu.

He held the menu, boasting proudly, "Sister Lan, my Cloud Summit Restaurant employs Michelin two-star chefs, the dishes here are absolutely unique."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Fan across with a sense of superiority and said, "Young man, you should thank Sister Lan and me. If not for us, you wouldn't be tasting these delicious dishes."
