I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 54

After leaving the hotel, they crossed the road and walked a few steps. Xu Lin saw a restaurant with a very special door.

This is it.

But after entering, Xu Lin had only one idea. The small restaurant, in the eyes of rich people, was different from what he imagined.

Anyway, he has never seen a small restaurant where a sofa costs tens of thousands of dollars. The adjectives for rich people are just different.

But he didnt have the slightest sense of stage fright. If it had been him before rebirth, he would have definitely been nervous.

Perhaps he has become more mature, or have there been changes brought about by the system?

Many times, he saw in those novels that the protagonist acted erratically just after travelling through time or being reborn.

Its like being reborn once and being fearless. What exactly do you rely on?

Travelling through time and being reborn does not mean that you will definitely be able to do certain things or avoid certain dangers. Did you know in advance that you were the protagonist in the book? So, you take it casually?

Maybe Im a coward. Xu Lin told himself to be careful.

Upon entering the restaurant, Chu Qingchan booked a private room. There were not many people outside, but after all, the private room was much quieter, and Chu Qingchan was easier to recognise in this big city.

What to eat?

I want to eat this The little girl pointed to the menu. Chu Qingchan also asked the waiter to write it down, and Chu Fengyi also ordered two dishes casually.

In the end, three adults and one child ordered 7 or 8 dishes. This was even when Xu Lin didnt order at the end.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Lins phone rang. Xu Lin answered the phone, and a cold but pleasant voice rang.

Mr. Xu, will Jiang Li eat out with you?

Well, she is eating right now.

Thats good. Ill go find you. Ill be near the hotel in a few minutes.

We are in a restaurant with a black sign opposite the hotel. You should be able to see us when you come here. We are in private room 303 on the second floor.

Good.

Is mommy coming?

Um.

When she comes, she will take me back to the hotel room again.

Your mom is also concerned about your safety. After all, you are so young. Although there are many good people out there, there are also bad ones. What if they take you away?

Well, I know; my mommy has already said it before.

Do you still want to eat shrimp?

Well, Ill pick it up for you.

Chu Qingchan, who was sitting next to him, saw Xu Lin peeling shrimps for the little girl and felt a little sour for a moment. This guy didnt know how to peel shrimp for her.

2 or 3 minutes later, there was a knock on the box door, and a beautiful woman walked in. Chu Qingchan also looked over, her eyes widening.

It turns out that this is the woman with the exceptionally well-built figure that my sister described. She is so weird, so Im going to criticise her, okay? I seem to be quite good myself; how did this woman develop?

Hello, sorry if Im disturbing your lunch.

Hello.

After Chu Qingchan finished speaking, the air fell into a brief silence, but Xu Lin immediately said, Ms. Ye, sit down quickly and order a few more dishes.

No, no, I just had a small dinner party, and I already had some food.

She sat next to Xu Lin and her daughter, who was sitting in Xu Lins arms, ignoring her, holding a small bowl and drinking porridge.

Xu Lin was peeling shrimp. He had already peeled a small pile, then handed it to her daughter in his arms, rolled up her sleeves, and wiped her mouth.

She felt that Xu Lin was almost the same as the nanny at home. As a mother, she had little time to do the things she was supposed to do.

Or maybe she was too concerned about her career and neglected her family, which was just the two of them.

Thank you, Mr. Xu, for taking care of her.

She is very obedient and doesnt make any trouble.

Xu Lin said this and touched the little girls head. The little girl also raised her head and gave him a silly smile.

Brother, I want to eat fish.

This fish meat has no spines, but you should eat it slowly and chew it before swallowing it.

Good!

Ye Fanleng looked at her daughters smile, and some of the fatigue on her face dissipated. She then glanced at Xu Lin, who was full of indulgence.

She felt that if she also had a husband, perhaps there would be more care and warmth in her life.

Ms. Ye, did you have any gains coming to Jinling today?

At this moment, Chu Fengyi, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, suddenly spoke up. Ye Fanleng was slightly stunned and looked at Chu Fengyi, whom she didnt recognise.

Miss, do we know each other?

Im Chu Fengyi. Dont you know my sister? Chu Qingchan, the queen of bad movies.

Chu Fengyi!

Chu Qingchan raised her head and glared at her, but since there were guests present, she didnt say anything more, lowered her head, and continued eating.

Chu Fengyi, are you the young lady of the Chu family? Is Fengyi Investment yours?

Yes, Im a shareholder. Its normal to ask about your situation.

Of course. You helped Feidu get through the toughest time. Thank you. I didnt expect it to be so coincidental.

Ye Fanleng smiled slightly and reached out her hand.

I didnt expect it either.

Chu Fengyi also shook hands formally, sighing inwardly. She had goods both above and below and such a slim waist; she originally thought it was tied up, but her hand had no flesh either.

I didnt expect the famous Miss Chu Fengyi to be so beautiful. Your sister is also a beauty, like a celestial being. I really didnt expect it.

No, you are the beautiful one. Last time, just by looking at the photos, I thought they were photoshopped. If you were in the entertainment industry, a bunch of old dogs would be licking behind you.

Im just an old woman now; lets not talk about this. As the companys CEO, let me tell you about the recent situation.

Ive been too busy lately and havent had a chance to talk to Fengyi about the recent situation.

Okay.

Following that, Xu Lin eavesdropped on a highly professional, high-level conversation, with amounts casually starting in the billions. Xu Lin also witnessed a different side of Chu Fengyinot the smiling girl mode towards strangers, nor the violent girl with him and Chu Qingchan. Instead, she was in a serious state, though she dressed like a child, giving off an exceptionally mature and steady vibe.

Ive said it; my family members are all formidable. My younger sister has always been the most outstanding, not only in martial arts. She entered university at the age of 16 and graduated at the age of 19.

Then she started an investment finance company and made a fortune within a year. She says Im just a lousy actor, and shes not wrong.

You dont need to belittle yourself. Your voice has been certified by Teacher Guan. Your future is promising.

The phrase promising future is good. So, what are we doing this afternoon?

Going out to play! The little girl raised her arm enthusiastically!

Chu Fengyis conversation with Ye Fanleng was also interrupted. She immediately glanced at her mother and turned her head away.

Mommy, I want to go out to play. If you dont take me, let my brother and sisters take me out.

Okay, Ill take you out to play.

Shaoyao thought her mother was going to pinch her cheeks again, but this time she surprisingly agreed, which was somewhat unbelievable.

Really?

Let mommy hug you, and Ill promise to take you out.

Okay!

She immediately stretched out her little arm from Xu Lins embrace, and Ye Fanleng also leaned over. But suddenly realising that she was too close to Xu Lin, her body trembled for a moment. This situation still hasnt been resolved. Oh my, how embarrassing!

Xu Lin also caught a whiff of the fragrance emanating from her body, feeling somewhat entranced, but immediately snapped out of it, reminding himself that shes the mother of a child. What was he thinking?

Fortunately, the little girl leaned outward again, and the other party took the daughter, holding her in her arms.

The girl felt the warmth of her mothers body and suddenly thought, Being in Mommys arms isnt bad either; she just cares too much about me.

Ye Fanleng didnt know that her daughter had grown a bit more sensible, but she still held her tightly, determined to spend more time with her in the future.

By the way, you three should come too.

If youre taking the child out to play, we wont interfere.

No, its a sports field opened by my friend, equipped with facilities for all sports activities and a dedicated resting area.

Shall we go? Chu Qingchan glanced at Xu Lin, and Chu Fengyi also cast a glance at him.

Ye Fanleng, who was on the side, saw this scene and became curious. These are the daughters of the Chu family, yet they seem to be primarily considering the opinion of this young man.

Who exactly is he? I dont remember anyone surnamed Xu She couldnt help but feel a little curious.

Big brother, are you going? Shaoyao also reached out her hand, tugging at his sleeve. Xu Lin glanced at the little girls watery eyes, and Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi didnt seem to object much.

Well then, lets go. We were planning to go out for a stroll anyway. Thanks, Ms. Ye.
