111: Luyuan Tea House

Wu Fan closed the door, lit a cigarette, and returned to the sofa to sit down.

Mao Jiajia said excitedly, "Brother Fan, you're too strong. You picked up Zhou Tong like he was a little chick."

She even mimicked him, which made Lin Daixi and Liu Lei burst out laughing.

Seeing that Liu Lei seemed to have truly let go, a hint of relief surfaced in Wu Fan's heart.

When a man and a woman are together, if the relationship is too tiring, it's better to cut ties quickly. Why drag it out, making it an agony for everyone?

Lin Daixi was a bit anxious, so she stood up and urged, "Brother Fan, can we go now?"

Wu Fan hummed in response and extinguished the cigarette, which was still half-smoked.

"Liu Lei, if Zhou Tong comes to make trouble again, remember to call me, okay?"

Liu Lei stood up, adjusted the collar of her nightgown, and nodded with gratitude in her eyes.

Wu Fan looked up, smiled at Mao Jiajia, then turned and left.

Lin Daixi quickened her pace and followed him.

"Ding! host, do you wish to claim a random gift?"

"Claim."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 50,000 yuan in cash. Your current account balance is 1.981 million yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received one Beginner English Skill Book, which has been stored in the system warehouse and can be retrieved at any time."

Alright, an English Skill Book is quite practical. It'll be much more convenient when going abroad in the future.

Wu Fan had always been unconfident about his English level. He hadn't studied well during school, only knew the basics, and never dared to speak it.

Now, with a skill book from the heavens, once he learns to an advanced level, he'll be able to speak fluent English.

He felt a strange excitement in his heart.

After getting in the car, Wu Fan turned to Lin Daixi, "Are you sure you want to go see Fang Hanyu?"

Lin Daixi's eyes flickered, and she said a little shyly, "How about we go to Xinyue Bay Resort Hotel first?"

After she finished speaking, she quickly averted her gaze, her heart pounding rapidly.

She never expected herself to say something like that voluntarily, and she still felt quite embarrassed.

Wu Fan smiled faintly and teased, "What has stirred your...? To be so impatient?"

Lin Daixi's face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "Brother Fan, you're annoying! I miss your eight-pack abs... I miss your..."

She threw caution to the wind. Anyway, no third person was listening, so being a little direct was fine.

Isn't it advocated now to be proactive if you want to love?

Wu Fan couldn't help but smile at her shy and adorable appearance.

He raised a hand and hooked her neck, "Since you want me, why haven't you contacted me?"

Lin Daixi looked at Wu Fan's well-defined face, her breath hitched, "As a girl, I always have to be a little reserved. Besides, I was afraid of disturbing your work, so I didn't dare to contact you proactively."

She lowered her eyes, looking pitiful and endearing.

Wu Fan looked at her pretty face and couldn't help but gently caress it, "Study hard, don't overthink things, okay?"

Lin Daixi said, "You're annoying, taking advantage and then acting innocent."

Wu Fan gently stroked her hair, "Shall I take you to buy something, and then drop you off at Fang Hanyu's house?"

Lin Daixi, however, hugged him even tighter, "Let me hug you a little longer. I'm sleepy. Let's go to Big Sister's house next time."

Wu Fan gently patted her back, "Alright, Brother will hold you while you sleep for a bit."

"Mm, okay."

By the time Lin Daixi woke up, the sun had set, and it was already dark.

She rubbed her eyes and asked with a hint of surprise, "It's already dark, what time is it?"

"Half past five."

"Oh, my legs are so sore, I feel like they're useless." She pressed her hands on Wu Fan's shoulders to climb back to her original position.

Lin Daixi said in a soft, sweet voice, "Don't look."

(Deleted)

Wu Fan let go and playfully flicked her pretty nose, "That's more like it."

Once she was fully dressed, Wu Fan asked, "Shall I take you to dinner?"

Lin Daixi shook her head, "I need to go back. I promised Mao Jiajia and Liu Lei we'd have hot pot together. They're probably still waiting."

Wu Fan nodded, transferred 30,000 yuan to her, "The hot pot is on me. As for the rest of the money, buy yourself something you like."

Lin Daixi didn't stand on ceremony, directly clicked to receive the money, said "Thank you, Brother Fan," and opened the door to get out of the car.

She looked back, smiled, and waved.

Wu Fan noticed her walking slowly, and her posture was a bit strange, but it was very cute. She must have over-exerted herself just now.

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and leisurely smoked.

He called Lin Jingyi and ordered a pickup truck to collect all 300 tea gift boxes, each valued at 588 yuan, from Xinyue Bay.

He sold them at an ultra-low price of 50 yuan each to a tea shop called Lüyuan Tea House, making a small profit of 15,000 yuan.

His reason was that after the tea ceremony competition, the owner was in a hurry to return to his hometown, so he sold them at a loss.

The proprietress wiggled her ample hips, her fair face beaming with smiles. This price was even cheaper than her cost price, and it included home delivery, so of course, she was very happy.

She was a connoisseur of tea; after inspecting the tea leaves, she paid the money.

Wu Fan glanced at his account balance, which was now 1.996 million yuan.

The proprietress said fawningly, "Young man, if you have such tea again next time, bring it all over. I'll buy as much as you have."

Wu Fan asked, "Is business good at the shop?"

The proprietress led Wu Fan to sit by the tea table, poured a cup of tea, and lowered her voice, "Auntie's business mainly relies on corporate clients, understand? Honestly, business is very difficult; it's just enough to make a living."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fan couldn't help but laugh, "Auntie? You shouldn't be much older than me, right?"

The proprietress said happily, "I'm 56 this year."

"Ah? I can't tell, you look so young, at most 40."

The proprietress smiled broadly, "My main thing is having a good mindset. Being carefree means living without stress, right?"

Wu Fan nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Some people look old or get gray hair early because of excessive internal consumption.

Wu Fan took a sip of the tea brewed by the proprietress and said very calmly, "Auntie, are you transferring this shop?"
