Chapter 1360 - 1359: A Public Confession

Inside the party hall!

After Lin Fan and the Empress entered, they had nothing to do. As for those wealthy individuals, Lin Fan didn't take them seriously at all!

On the contrary, the Empress got busy once she entered the party. Many wealthy individuals came up to make small talk with her, stuffing business cards into her hands!

Lin Fan leaned against the long table, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirling it, watching with amusement as those wealthy individuals lined up to toast the Empress!

Soon, the Empress walked over to Lin Fan, snatched the wine glass from his hand, downed the wine in one gulp, and casually placed a stack of business cards on the table, showing no signs of joy on her face!

Lin Fan joked with a laugh: "So, how does it feel to be favored by wealthy individuals?"

"They're just a bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing with extremely lustful hearts. I much prefer your straightforward personality!" The Empress laughed!

"Ah~ so this outward persona of mine is actually popular now!" Lin Fan feigned surprise with a laugh!

"Yeah! Isn't it with this exact method you win over all the women around you?" The Empress rolled her eyes at Lin Fan!

"I didn't expect the great Empress to be into this! Why don't we head to the restroom for a quickie? That would make me seem wilder!" Lin Fan winked suggestively, with a smile!

"Sure! Just worried you wouldn't dare!" The Empress appeared unperturbed!

But upon hearing this, Lin Fan wilted a bit. He had only managed to unfasten fifteen of the eighty-one buttons on the Empress's gown — doing anything more would be impossible!

The Empress covered her mouth with a smile at Lin Fan's deflated reaction. She leaned into his ear, blew warm air, and whispered fragrantly: "The day you can unbutton all eighty-one buttons, I'll give you a wild night!"

"Siren!"

Lin Fan cursed involuntarily!

It's all just sugar-coated bullets!

The buttons on the Empress's dress must be undone one by one without the slightest mistake. Even though Lin Fan had honed his skill to a fine art, this task was harder for him than killing a hundred people!

While Lin Fan and the Empress were flirting, they noticed everyone around them looking in the same direction amidst a raucous noise!

Lin Fan also turned his head out of curiosity to see a captivating figure in the crowd, virtually impossible to ignore!

Even though many people surrounded that figure, Lin Fan was too familiar with it. With just one glance, he immediately recognized her!

Upon seeing the figure, the Empress remarked: "Isn't that your official girlfriend, Su Yanyu?"

"What's she doing in Los Angeles?"

Lin Fan was surprised, finally understanding why he was invited to this party of wealthy individuals — it must have something to do with Su Yanyu!

"Probably missed you too much! Tonight, you're no longer mine!" The Empress hinted at Lin Fan with a smile!

Lin Fan awkwardly rubbed his nose and said nothing!

By now, Su Yanyu had also noticed Lin Fan, but when she saw the Empress standing next to him, her graceful Willow Eyebrows furrowed with a hint of hostility!

"Your official girlfriend seems hostile towards me!"

Su Yanyu's gaze did not escape the Empress's notice!

Lin Fan awkwardly said nothing!

However, Su Yanyu did not immediately walk over to Lin Fan but instead went to the small stage at the front of the party hall!

Su Yanyu spoke in fluent English: "Good evening, everyone! I believe my identity needs no further introduction. Thank you for supporting tonight's party, and thanks to Mr. Macken for giving us this networking opportunity!"

"I, Su Yanyu, love making friends and am willing to befriend all of you here. If there's an opportunity to cooperate, it would be great!"

Su Yanyu first extended an olive branch willing to cooperate!

Although these wealthy individuals were famous, compared to Su Yanyu, there was still a considerable gap. Now that she unexpectedly offered a chance for cooperation, they naturally were eager!

Being able to collaborate with the giant commercial ship, the Yanyu Group, would undoubtedly be a tremendous opportunity for them!

Then, Su Yanyu glanced at where Lin Fan was, suddenly smiled, and said: "Of course, today, there is someone self-invited on the guest list, not a wealthy individual, but he's the most important person to me. Once again, I want to thank him in front of everyone for his companionship and for giving me the confidence to stand at such a high position!"

As soon as Su Yanyu said this, everyone around began to discuss, looking around to find the person she mentioned!

For someone who made Su Yanyu express such heartfelt gratitude, filled with deep affection, these wealthy individuals couldn't help but be surprised!

Mike followed Su Yanyu's gaze and, upon spotting Lin Fan, couldn't help but change his expression. Could it be that the person Su Yanyu wanted to thank was him?

The Empress, listening to Su Yanyu's words, remarked to Lin Fan with a smile: "Your official girlfriend is boldly declaring her love for you; you must know, she's probably the only woman daring enough to do this!"

"This woman..."

Lin Fan awkwardly smiled!

But seeing those wealthy individuals searching for the person Su Yanyu wanted to thank, while some had already turned their gaze to him, Lin Fan felt quite uncomfortable!

The relationship between him and Su Yanyu was not widely known to many!

Abroad, he was the Tyrant of the Dark Realm, an infamous gangster, the kind who wouldn't shine in the light, whereas in the eyes of these wealthy individuals, Su Yanyu represented the light!

Lin Fan didn't want his dark side to tarnish the bright image of Su Yanyu in their minds!

"I'm going to the restroom too!"

With that said, Lin Fan turned and headed towards the restroom!

Seeing Lin Fan heading away, Su Yanyu quickly descended the small stage to catch up!

As Su Yanyu approached, many wealthy individuals raised their glasses to greet her, but unfortunately, she ignored them all, quickening her steps to chase Lin Fan!

This trip to Los Angeles was for Lin Fan, and now finally seeing him, Su Yanyu was determined not to let him leave!

"She... wouldn't really go after that unmannerly man, would she?" Mike watched the scene unfold in surprise!

Soon, Su Yanyu chased him into the restroom corridor, and upon seeing Lin Fan's back, she immediately said: "Stop right there!"

Hearing Su Yanyu's voice, Lin Fan's steps halted abruptly!

"Sigh!"

Lin Fan sighed, turned his head to see Su Yanyu's anxious face, and, feigning surprise, played dumb: "Huh? Honey? What are you doing here too?"
