87: Bund scenery

Chen Menglin's face was slightly flushed, and she was a bit flustered by Wu Fan's words.

The company did have a rule that for guests in the luxury first-class cabin, all their requests should be met as much as possible, providing butler-style service.

She finally uttered two words, "Alright."

She turned around and skillfully began to make the bed.

Wu Fan sat with his legs crossed, looking at her beautiful back with a hint of mischief.

This woman had curves in all the right places, and she was truly a sight for sore eyes.

A few minutes later, Chen Menglin said softly, "Wu Fan, please get on the bed and rest for a while."

"What? If I go to sleep, you can run away, right?"

"No, that's not what I meant at all." Chen Menglin's eyes held a hint of shyness.

Wu Fan laughed heartily, "Just teasing you. Go on with your work, there's nothing else here."

Chen Menglin whispered, "If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

"Okay, go ahead."

Only then did Chen Menglin take a few steps back before turning and leaving.

Wu Fan watched her close the sliding door and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. This woman was quite naive.

Mid-flight, Wu Fan asked her to bring some food, and after a nap, they landed at Hongqiao Airport.

After getting off the plane, Wu Fan first reserved a table for dinner on his phone at a restaurant with a panoramic view of the Bund.

He had originally wanted to go to a private dining room in an old Western-style house, but it required advance booking and only hosted ten guests a day, so he had to give up on that idea.

He sent a wechat message asking, "Chen Menglin, are you off work yet?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be right out. You wait at the exit outside, and I'll drive to pick you up."

"Okay."

The sky outside was a bit cold, and in the bustling city, most people were rushing, scrambling for fame and fortune.

Wu Fan pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

He looked up at the sky; the afterglow of the setting sun had dyed the white clouds a vibrant red, which was quite beautiful.

Just as he finished smoking a cigarette, a white Shanghai Volkswagen pulled up beside him.

The car window rolled down, and Chen Menglin poked her head out, "Brother Fan, get in quickly."

Wu Fan got into the back seat. There was already a very fashionable beauty sitting in the front passenger seat.

She had a head of long, black, wavy hair, exaggerated large round earrings, and a fair neck. From behind, one could tell she was a very feminine woman.

Chen Menglin introduced, "Brother Fan, this is my Best Female Friend, Wu Yixuan, and she's also my colleague."

Wu Fan interjected, "A fellow family member! I'm Wu Fan, nice to meet you."

Wu Yixuan turned around, smiled gently at Wu Fan, and jokingly said, "I'm just freeloading dinner tonight, you won't mind, will you?"

Wu Fan noticed that her peach blossom eyes weren't very large, but they were very bright and had a friendly quality.

"It's my honor that you would grace me with your presence."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yixuan giggled.

Wu Fan sent the dinner address and location to Chen Menglin, asking, "Miss Chen, how long will it take to drive there?"

Chen Menglin looked at the navigation, "About half an hour, assuming there's no traffic."

The journey was smooth, and they arrived at their destination in just twenty-three minutes.

Wu Fan walked in front, while Chen Menglin and Wu Yixuan walked arm-in-arm behind him, occasionally whispering to each other.

As they exited the elevator, the two beautiful greeters at the door said in unison, "Welcome..."

"Do you have a reservation?"

Wu Fan pulled out his phone and checked, "Box 19."

"Okay, please follow me, the three of you." One of the greeters made a welcoming gesture and then led the way, swaying her ample hips.

The private room was bright and spacious, with an all-glass design that offered an unobstructed view of the Bund's bustling and stunning nightscape.

Wu Fan looked at Chen Menglin, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

Chen Menglin was slightly excited, "It's beautiful, this spot is absolutely perfect."

"You two beauties sit by the window, the view is better there."

Wu Yixuan said, "Brother Fan, then we won't be polite."

Wu Fan smiled faintly and sat down near the entrance.

The Waitress, holding a tablet, gently asked, "Which of you three will be ordering?"

Wu Fan took the tablet and handed it directly to Chen Menglin, "Order whatever you like, don't be shy. It's not often I come to Shanghai, and I'm here to have a good meal, got it?"

After he finished speaking, he chuckled to himself.

Chen Menglin took the tablet, placed it on the table, and said to Wu Yixuan, "Let's order together."

The two of them sat very close, their heads almost touching, looking intently at the dishes on the tablet.

Wu Fan looked up at them and found them very beautiful.

Especially Wu Yixuan, with her doll-like face, she was somewhat cute and seemed even more approachable.

This damned evil thought.

Wu Fan averted his gaze and looked at the night view of the Bund.

The glittering European-style buildings, under the colorful lights, possessed a unique charm.

The dazzling Oriental Pearl Tower, like a colorful sword, shot straight into the sky.

The calm waters of the Huangpu River enveloped all this sparkling beauty, serene and peaceful.

Bright luxury cruise ships slowly sailed by, echoing the brightly lit buildings on the riverbank, making the entire scene suddenly dynamic.

It was indeed stunningly beautiful, brilliantly beautiful.

Wu Fan was actually a little dazed by the sight.

"Brother Fan, we've finished ordering. Do you need to add anything else?"

Chen Menglin handed over the tablet.

Wu Fan took it and looked at the five dishes they had ordered, complaining a little, "Why did you only order so little?"

Chen Menglin smiled subtly, "Ordering more would be wasteful, and the dishes here are a bit pricey."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the Waitress somewhat apologetically.

Wu Fan scrolled through, "That's too little, I'll add some more. You two don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"

This meal offered double cashback; the more he ordered, the more cashback he'd get, plus he could show off his generosity in front of the beauties. How cost-effective!

Chen Menglin and Wu Yixuan exchanged glances and spoke simultaneously, "We're both fine with anything."

Wu Fan nodded and added many more delicacies to the tablet.

Spicy fish with toasted bread, soy milk flavored ice cream, foie gras scallion pancakes, sesame tofu, salmon and roe rice, Alaskan king crab, chilled oysters, old goose head, lobster and sea urchin orecchiette, crab roe tofu, eight-treasure duck, and sweet and sour fish.

Wu Yixuan was cheerful and lively, relatively outgoing.

Seeing Wu Fan order so intently, she got up, walked over, and leaned in to watch him order.

When she saw him order so much, she reminded him, "Brother Fan, stop ordering, that's enough, really enough."

Wu Fan caught a very pleasant fragrance, perhaps from Wu Yixuan's hair.

He looked up, and his eyes met Wu Yixuan's.

"How about we pack up what we can't finish? We won't waste food."

Wu Yixuan clearly hadn't expected Wu Fan to say that; she paused for a moment before responding, "Sure, I have no objections."

"Menglin, what do you say?"

Chen Menglin, resting her chin on her hand, looked at Wu Fan and Wu Yixuan and simply nodded.

With a smile in her eyes, she continued, "I've noticed something, you two look quite well-matched when you're together."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yixuan's face flushed, and she quickly returned to her seat, lightly hitting Chen Menglin's arm, "Nonsense, you've got it all backward."

"You go over and stand close to Wu Fan and see. Let me see if you two are a match."
