Walking out of the Liu Family Mansion, Feng Ruolan asked Lin Fan, "Little Fan, where are you going?"
Lin Fan said, "Back to Yunding Manor."
Feng Ruolan said, "Itâs already very late, and itâs a bit far for you to go back. Why not stay at my place for the night?"
Lin Fanâs heart skipped a beat, the richest sister was inviting him to stay at her place? This feels a bit lucky...
Seeing Lin Fan remain silent, Feng Rulan bit her lip, "What, do you despise my place?"
Lin Fan quickly smiled and said, "No way, I also think going back to Yunding Manor is a bit far. Alright, Iâll go to your place tonight."
Feng Ruolan was delighted and grabbed Lin Fan, "Letâs go, Iâll take you for a late-night snack before heading home."
Lin Fan was puzzled, "A late-night snack?"
Didnât we just finish the birthday feast?
Feng Ruolan said, "In that kind of setting, one must act like a lady, be reserved, how could one eat enough? Let me take you to a great place."
Lin Fan broke into a sweat, so she wasnât full, huh? At the feast, he noticed she was eating very reservedly and thought she wasnât hungry.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, didnât have this issue. No matter the occasion, Lin Fan always prioritized eating his fill, so he was quite satisfied from the feast.
But since his sister wasnât full, he naturally had to accompany her to grab a bite.
An old district.
Itâs already late-night snack time, the streets of the old district turned into a street food lane, lined with food stalls, filled with tables and chairs, mostly occupied, bustling with activity.
The customers at these stalls were mostly locals, and most of them were common folks, the whole street was filled with a lively local charm.
Lin Fan was a bit curious, "Sister, you are the daughter of the Feng Family and the richest woman in Yun City, how do you know about this place for late-night snacks?"
Feng Ruolan laughed, "Even a daughter of the Feng Family needs to eat, right? Everything on this street tastes great. I discovered it recently when my assistant brought me here. I fell in love with it after trying it once."
Later, they found a food stall to sit at and ordered a table full of snacks and two bottles of beer.
They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and Feng Ruolan was still wearing the evening dress she wore to the Liu Familyâs birthday banquet, immediately attracting everyoneâs attention. The handsome couple stunned the crowd.
"This guy is so handsome!"
"The woman is also so pretty!"
"They are such a great match, why do they look so good together!"
Envious eyes were cast their way.
Some of the men became jealous of Lin Fan after being amazed by Feng Ruolan, and started to find faults with their own girlfriends.
"Look at you, also born of a mother, why are you not as beautiful as her..." The guys sighed, shaking their heads.
The girlfriends were annoyed and retorted, "What are you saying, have you looked at yourself in the mirror, do you deserve such a beautiful girlfriend, are you as handsome as that guy!"
After snapping at their clueless boyfriends, the girls looked at Lin Fan, somewhat infatuated. Sigh, if only their boyfriend were as handsome.
"Little Fan, try this fried noodles, itâs super delicious." Feng Ruolan served a bowl of fried noodles for Lin Fan.
She was already used to the amazed stares from the people around.
When she usually came here to eat, she tried to dress low-key, but she would still become the center of attention. Not to mention tonight, she was in an evening gown, just coming from an upper-class party...
Lin Fan took a bite of the fried noodles, indeed it wasnât bad, but he didnât find it particularly astonishing. After all, in the past 21 years, he had been living at the bottom tier, he would eat this kind of street food almost daily.
Feng Ruolan found it delicious probably because she was used to gourmet food, occasionally eating such down-to-earth street food gave her a fresh experience.
For the poor, eating street food signifies true poverty, while for the rich, itâs about getting grounded and having a unique taste.
If you asked the common folks around here if they would like to switch places with Feng Ruolan, to eat gourmet food every day, most of them would probably agree. Who wouldnât want to live a luxurious life?
"Little Fan, go find a bottle opener to open the beer, letâs have a drink." Feng Ruolan said.
Lin Fan smiled, "No need."
He reached out, pinched the bottle cap, and effortlessly popped it off, as if peeling a sticker.
Feng Ruolan was surprised, "Little Fan, how did your hand strength get so strong?"
Lin Fan naturally wouldnât tell her he had taken Strengthening Blood Serum Capsules, giving him an extraordinary strength.
"Iâve done it a lot, practice makes perfect." Lin Fan casually said.
Feng Ruolan nodded, not paying much attention, and then poured two glasses of beer to toast with Lin Fan.
She took the glass and downed it in one gulp.
Lin Fan was somewhat charmed by her, this drinking style was like a bold man, making one even forget she is the richest woman in Yun City.
Eating late-night snacks in such a street setting had a special atmosphere and feeling, Feng Ruolan really liked this lively, life-filled vibe, so different from the cold, upper-class society she usually dealt with. Here was the closest to life environment, giving people a sense of grounded happiness.
However, in such a common place, with all sorts of people around, thereâs good and bad. Sometimes a beautiful girl like Feng Ruolan would inevitably encounter some clueless people trying to chat her up.
They had just started eating when several guys came over, attempting to ask for Feng Ruolanâs phone number.
These guys seemed not to take Lin Fan seriously at all.
However, after Feng Ruolan coldly told them to scram, they all immediately backed off.
Lin Fan found it somewhat amusing, having mingled with common folks for years, he was naturally familiar with these kinds of guys. These guys had a mysterious self-confidence, thinking beautiful girls would take a liking to them. If fortunate, theyâll flirt with nice ones. Even if unsuccessful, they could at least have some verbal fun. But if encountering someone with a bad temperament, theyâd chicken out fast.
Feng Ruolan was the latter; sheâd never give these sleazy guys a chance to flirt.
Most of the time, just one word, "scram," was enough to drive those guys away, but there were exceptions too.
Tonight, they met an exception.
Suddenly, two drunk men approached them. Upon closer look, they were foreigners, amidst the mix in this common street, even foreigners were around.
The two foreigners were about thirty, big and tall, with faces flushed from drinking.
"Beauty, my bro thinks youâre gorgeous!" One of the foreigners said in broken Huaxia language.
The other foreigner seemed not to understand Huaxia, jabbering in a foreign language, roughly understandable as compliments about Feng Ruolanâs appearance, though the words were a bit frivolous.
Judging by the accent, these two foreigners seemed to be from the United States!
Feng Ruolan chuckled and said "scram" in a foreign language.
For anyone coming over with indecent intentions, regardless of who they were, she would always say this one word.
But these two foreigners didnât back down, instead, they were even more encouraged.
"Sheâs a feisty one, I like that..." The foreigner gave a sleazy smile.
"Beauty, come to a room with us, it will be amazing, donât you Huaxia women all love handsome foreigners like us!"
What these two said was truly unpleasant.
Although there are indeed quite a few Huaxia girls crazy about foreigners, these foreigners seemed to consider all Huaxia women to be like that.
Lin Fan frowned, "My sister told you to scram, donât you understand Huaxia language?"
The two foreigners seemed to only then notice Lin Fan.
"Kid, donât meddle in othersâ business!"
"Do you know who we are, Americans, you Huaxia are not a match for us in the United States, Zhongwei Phone was even crushed by us, what are you?"
The two foreigners arrogantly stated.
This immediately drew the attention of the people around them. This statement clearly stirred public anger, and everyone started to feel a bit indignant.
