"You may have said it casually, but I took it seriously!" Jiang Meili stated directly, "If he is truly the type I like, I won't be polite."
"That's nothing to worry about. If Sister Jiang truly likes him, she can certainly employ her charms." Lin Ke said with confidence, "If he truly leaves with you, then he isn't the one destined for me!"
"Little Ke, you're so confident!" Jiang Meili's interest was immediately piqued, "In all of Longdu, there aren't many men who can resist my allure. Given the chance, they wouldn't let it pass!"
"It seems Sister Jiang wants to test my husband!" Lin Ke shrugged.
Jiang Meili shrugged as well, her expression becoming more serious, as if Lin Ke had spoken the truth.
As night fell, inside a private room at Deyiliou, Jiang Meili was already seated, wearing a dress that made her look like a celestial being.
Outside Deyiliou, Lin Ke was pulling Lu Fan along. "Don't worry, it's just a casual dinner, nothing more. Besides, he's my college roommate. It's only natural for him to treat us to a meal since I'm in Longdu."
"It's normal for him to treat you to a meal, but why drag me along!" Lu Fan said helplessly.
"You're my husband, who else would I drag if not you!" Lin Ke said indignantly, "If that's not the case, I'll just pull some random man off the street!"
After saying that, Lin Ke, full of anger, headed towards Deyiliou.
Seeing the situation was not good, Lu Fan quickly chased after her. "My dearest wife, you jest. How could we casually pull in strangers? If my college roommate is treating us, of course I have to go. Otherwise, it would be incredibly rude."
"That's more like it!"
Lin Ke pouted, her anger subsiding slightly.
Not long after, they arrived at the private room. Seeing Lu Fan and Lin Ke arrive, Jiang Meili quickly went to greet them, while simultaneously appraising Lu Fan.
"This must be Little Ke's husband! He truly is handsome and talented." Jiang Meili smiled, "Come and sit quickly, don't be a stranger."
Lu Fan smiled and slowly sat down. He hadn't wanted to come, and if not for Lin Ke's insistence, he would have preferred to lounge in the hotel.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, what is your profession?"
Jiang Meili inquired, "To be able to marry Little Ke!"
"Unemployed!" Lu Fan shrugged, "We're all friends, so I won't stand on ceremony!"
Lu Fan began to eat casually, not paying much attention.
Jiang Meili smiled, instantly losing interest in Lu Fan. As a strong woman, she looked down on the unemployed. It wasn't a good thing for men to be unproductive.
Thinking this, she felt even more regret for Lin Ke. She had thought Lin Ke had found a good husband, only to find him unsatisfactory.
"Xiao Fan, I've decided to stay with Sister Jiang during our time in Longdu!" Lin Ke said, "She happens to have a villa in Longdu, and I quite liked it when I visited today!"
"If you like it, buy one," Lu Fan smiled, "We're not short on money!"
"Qingyun Group is coming to Longdu to develop, and will require a lot of capital in the future." Lin Ke said seriously, "Money needs to be spent wisely."
Jiang Meili glanced at Lu Fan, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment. Lu Fan was merely a gigolo, and his tone just now was almost unbearable.
If only she knew that Lu Fan's assets were enough to buy the entire Longdu.
"Since you're going to stay there, I'll reluctantly accompany you,"
Lu Fan shrugged, "After all, I still need to protect your safety."
"This..." Lin Ke looked somewhat embarrassed.
"You're going too?" Jiang Meili was surprised, "That probably isn't appropriate!"
"If you think it's not appropriate, then we won't go." Lu Fan shrugged.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. My villa has plenty of rooms. If you want to go, then go!" Jiang Meili rolled her eyes.
"That's good then!" Lu Fan continued to eat on his own, "I see your complexion is dark. Nothing good is likely to happen today. You should be more careful!"
"You can read faces?" Jiang Meili was suspicious, "Are you just putting on a show? Or is this how you tricked Little Ke into marrying you!"
"I'm serious!" Lu Fan said helplessly.
"Sister Jiang, Xiao Fan doesn't lie. You should be careful tonight." Lin Ke said.
"Little Ke, even you say so now!" Jiang Meili said with a wry smile, "I don't believe in such things. Moreover, your husband is glib-tongued, and most of what he says is probably just to fool people!"
"Glib-tongued?"
Lin Ke felt a bit embarrassed. Lu Fan had always been meticulous in his actions; he had never been described this way.
As dinner was about to end, Lin Ke went to the restroom. Jiang Meili slowly got up and came to Lu Fan's side, "Mr. Lu, who do you think is more beautiful, me or Little Ke?"
Lu Fan blinked slightly and looked at Jiang Meili, "That's hard to answer!"
"What's so hard to answer!" Jiang Meili took Lu Fan's hand, exuding a woman's fragrance. She wanted to test how strong Lu Fan's self-control was.
Before, countless men had fallen under her spell. Especially at such close proximity, and with her attire today, she was very confident she could entice Lu Fan. This way, she could reveal Lu Fan's true colors to Little Ke.
"If I have to tell the truth, my wife is definitely the most beautiful!" Lu Fan said with a righteous expression, "Miss Jiang, if you stand so close, and my wife finds out, it will be hard to explain. It's best to draw a clear line!"
"Why must Mr. Lu speak falsely!" Jiang Meili smiled, "As long as Mr. Lu is willing, I'll wait for you tonight!"
"Cough cough..."
Lu Fan coughed a few times, "I really didn't expect Little Ke's college roommate to be this kind of person. You truly surprise me!"
"What, you're not willing?" Jiang Meili asked again, "I'm not inferior to Little Ke!"
"As a husband, how can I betray my wife!"
Lu Fan's voice was firm, "Miss Jiang, please be more prudent. Don't act this way, lest it cause misunderstandings!"
Seeing Lu Fan's integrity, Jiang Meili felt a little relieved and returned to her seat. Although she disdained Lu Fan for being a gigolo, she was quite satisfied with his loyalty.
Lin Ke, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was also very happy. She knew Lu Fan wouldn't betray her, nor would he hurt her for other women.
However, she didn't know that Lu Fan's senses were extremely sharp. He often overheard people eavesdropping outside. Lu Fan already knew, so his words just now were also meant to conceal his awareness.
When Lin Ke returned, Lu Fan also found an opportunity to head to the restroom. Seeing only the two of them in the room, Lin Ke proudly said, "How about it? I didn't misjudge him, did I? The man I fancy never disappoints me."
"He does have some self-control," Jiang Meili nodded, feeling even more stifled. If he were a normal man, he would have surrendered under her temptations. Lu Fan's steadfastness made her doubt if he was even a man, otherwise, why would he be like this.
