Chapter 241 Celebration Banquet
Chapter 241 Celebration Banquet
Thinking about the upcoming guqin learning journey and the date in the evening, Lin Fan's mood became more and more cheerful. He took out the Fuxi guqin, gently plucked the strings, and began to immerse himself in his own musical world.
As the melodious sound of the zither rang out, he seemed to have seen the day when he would conquer the Fuxi zither and uncover the secret.
When your heart is full of expectations, time passes quickly.
In the afternoon, Lin Fan was savoring tea brewed with spiritual liquid, thinking about how to ask Zhao Ziqing for leave.
If it is an ordinary meal, there is no need to ask for leave.
But what if it were possible... what if I didn't come back all night?
If Jiang Li asked him to stay, how could he, a kind-hearted man, refuse?
Wouldn't this hurt the girl's self-esteem?
He always avoided this kind of thing.
Therefore, he plans to take leave in advance and not go home tonight.
"Should I go back to the orphanage, or is there an official celebration banquet?" Just as he was thinking of an excuse, his cell phone rang.
"Brother Fan, the female police officer is here and she wants to see you."
"Oh? Is that Xu Qingxue?"
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows. What did this hot-tempered woman want from him?
Are they here to arrest him again?
"Invite her in."
Lin Fan pondered in his heart.
A moment later, Xu Qingxue walked into the house. Today she was not wearing a uniform, but casual clothes.
She had obviously been given some grooming and looked even more attractive than usual.
Lin Fan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then moved downwards. This hot woman's figure was indeed outstanding.
I wonder if she took her own advice and changed to a larger uniform size, otherwise those buttons would not be very secure.
"Captain Qingxue, I'm sorry for not welcoming you to my humble abode. Please take a seat."
Lin Fan sorted out his thoughts and smiled.
"Haha, I don't deserve it."
Xu Qingxue chuckled and sat down opposite Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at her rare smile and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
If I remember correctly, this seemed to be the first time she laughed?
It feels like "the smile of the King of Hell makes life and death unpredictable."
"I wonder what Captain Qingxue is here for?"
Lin Fan poured a cup of tea for Xu Qingxue and got straight to the point.
"Nothing serious, just stopping by to see you."
Xu Qingxue took the tea, tasted it gently, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This tea is...exceptional.
"What kind of tea is this? It has a unique flavor."
“The tea itself is ordinary, but the water is what makes it special.”
Lin Fan shook his head.
"water?"
Xu Qingxue was even more surprised. She tasted it again and found it sweet and refreshing.
"Is Captain Qingxue still investigating Xu Gaoyuan's case? Is there any progress?"
Lin Fan took the initiative and tried to find out Xu Qingxue's attitude.
"No, I'm going to close the case."
Xu Qingxue shook her head and stared at Lin Fan.
"His death is known to heaven and earth, to you and me... There's no need to investigate further."
"I don't understand what Captain Qingxue means."
Lin Fan shook his head. Are you trying to trick me?
"Haha, you know it clearly."
Xu Qingxue smiled again.
"Don't worry, I really don't plan to continue investigating. Even if I find evidence, it will be useless... After all, I can't take any action against you."
"I'm a good person, why are you arresting me? Xu Gaoyuan and I are good friends..."
Lin Fan said casually.
"Good friend? I heard that this office originally belonged to him, but after you came, you took it for yourself and kicked him out. What kind of good friend is that?"
Xu Qingxue looked around the office, her eyes inadvertently falling on the sofa, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Last time, she was held down on that sofa and taught a lesson by Lin Fan.
Looking back now, I still feel a little embarrassed.
"What are you thinking about? Do you want to do it again?"
Suddenly, Lin Fan's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of ridicule.
Xu Qingxue was startled and quickly looked away.
"Captain Qingxue, what's the matter with you coming to see me today? If you don't tell me, I won't be able to figure it out."
Lin Fan handed her a cup of tea.
"Nothing special, just stopping by to take a look..."
Xu Qingxue smiled.
"Okay, I confess. I was the one who killed Xu Gaoyuan."
Lin Fan gritted his teeth and said it directly.
Anyway, Xu Qingxue couldn't do anything to him, so he might as well admit it directly. At least he knew what she was doing.
"Haha, you don't have to admit it, I already knew it."
Xu Qingxue's expression didn't change at all.
"Liang Jiehua said that you never kill people for no reason. Since you killed him, it means he deserved it."
Lin Fan felt even more uncertain. He had admitted it, but she had no reaction at all?
Why is this usually decisive woman acting so strangely today?
"Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Xu Qingxue suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Lin Fan was stunned. She wanted to treat him to a meal?
Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
What if I go there and am suddenly surrounded by a group of police?
"Well, I have something to do tonight, how about another day?"
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment and declined politely.
"Okay, tomorrow night then."
Xu Qingxue nodded in agreement.
"..."
Lin Fan looked at Xu Qingxue. What was she planning?
This is so unlike her.
"Why, tomorrow night isn't an option? Then the night after tomorrow."
"..."
Lin Fan took a deep breath and leaned forward slightly.
"I'm not free any night."
Hearing Lin Fan's answer, Xu Qingxue frowned slightly: "Why? This is the first time I've taken the initiative to invite a man to dinner."
"Even if I don't give you face, so what?"
Lin Fan decided to show his hand and continue testing the waters.
"Why should I listen to your arrangements? Just because you are a beautiful woman?"
"Lin Fan!" Xu Qingxue slammed the table with obvious dissatisfaction on her face.
She had already offered to treat him to a meal, but he didn't even appreciate it?
This is really outrageous!
"Haha, I'm actually more used to you being like this." Lin Fan laughed.
“I was just joking, don’t take it seriously.”
"You..." Xu Qingxue's chest heaved up and down with anger. She stared at Lin Fan, thinking that this man was really unreasonable.
"Let me ask you a question. What is your relationship with Zhao Ziqing?"
"She is my wife." Lin Fan did not hide it. He knew that if Xu Qingxue really wanted to know, she would find out sooner or later.
"Wife?" Xu Qingxue's face changed. Does this mean her chances are slim?
She felt annoyed. Really, why didn't Liang Jiehua find out in advance!
Now she came to him on her own initiative, but not only was she rejected, but the other party was already taken!
"Yeah, what? Do you want to be with me?" Lin Fan continued to joke.
"Who wants to be with you!" Xu Qingxue became even angrier when he hit the nail on the head.
In fact, she was indeed a little attracted to Lin Fan, especially on that night when he saved so many people in the cinema!
