And so, Chen Fan drove Xia Bingqing back to the company.
About half an hour later, Wang Lu emerged from Xia Bingqing's office.
His face was beaming with a brilliant smile,
Unable to contain his joy.
Upon seeing Chen Fan in the security room, he cheerfully greeted him.
"Brother Chen, hello!"
"Thank you so much for our business this time!"
"If it weren't for you, we would probably never have known that President Xia was so approachable and so fair and just!"
"Thank you!"
To have a middle-aged man call him Brother Chen was, to be honest, a bit comical.
Chen Fan didn't pay it much mind, simply waving his hand, "It's nothing!"
Wang Lu nodded, said no more, and left humming a tune.
Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled without speaking.
It seemed Xia Bingqing had resolved this matter quite well!
Time slipped by, and evening arrived…
Chen Fan drove Xia Bingqing home. As they reached the downstairs, Xia Bingqing said to Chen Fan, "Aren't you coming up for a bit?"
Facing Xia Bingqing's invitation, Chen Fan offered a faint smile, "Not today, perhaps!"
Xia Bingqing shot Chen Fan a huge eye-roll, "Heh… Oh, playing the gentleman today, are we!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Chen Fan chuckled awkwardly, "I've always been a gentleman!"
Xia Bingqing laughed impishly, "Yes, yes, you are a gentleman!"
"Straighter than a pine tree!"
Chen Fan smiled, "I think there's something behind your words!"
Xia Bingqing replied, "Yes, you're not mistaken, there is something behind my words!"
Chen Fan couldn't help but chuckle at this, "Another day, another day I'll certainly pay a visit!"
Xia Bingqing snorted haughtily, "Do you treat my place like a market? Come whenever you please? Let me tell you, not a chance!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"You're right, boss!"
Chen Fan coughed internally.
Still calling her boss at this point?
So formal?
What's with that!
Xia Bingqing's expression turned serious, and she said sternly, "You're still calling me boss at this point?"
Chen Fan frowned, hesitating for a moment, "Then… Bingqing?"
Only then did Xia Bingqing's face break into a faint smile, "Hmph… That's more like it!"
"Call me that from now on!"
"If you call me anything else messy, I'll cut you!"
Chen Fan heard this and pouted speechlessly, "But you're a beautiful woman, how can a beautiful woman do such rough things?"
"Not proper, not proper!"
"Hmph… Enough nonsense!" Xia Bingqing opened the car door, then bent down and asked, "You really aren't coming up for a bit today?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "Not today."
"Another day, definitely!"
Chen Fan maintained his composure and spoke playfully.
Xia Bingqing, thinking of her own forwardness just moments ago, suddenly blushed. She then casually closed the door with a sharp "bang" that was quite jarring.
"Go to hell!"
"Chen Fan!"
Then, she strode away in her high heels, the heels clicking against the ground, a constant sharp sound, as if venting her anger.
Seeing this, Chen Fan could only smile wryly, at a loss for words.
He shook his head.
He didn't linger with Xia Bingqing.
He drove home.
In a short while, he was on the straight main road.
At this time, although the peak traffic hours had passed, the traffic was still heavy…
As Chen Fan drove, he casually glanced at the rearview mirror.
A black car was following him.
If it were driving normally, Chen Fan wouldn't have paid much attention. But at this moment, the car seemed to be tailing him, not driving at all like a normal vehicle.
So, he decided to test it…
