Novel Full Chapter 223 - You Can Come And Date Me.
With Li Xue in the question, Feng Yi Lan did not need to go and search each door after door. She could always get many on just one call but at the same time, she could not afford to get another jerk like Wenting for her. So she needs to be cautious.
The man that was sitting in front of her now was one of the best suitable men who has admired Li Xue for a long time, Su Fai. No need to say that wherever the girl went, she grabbed people's heart and attention. She got a long list of admirers but none got her attention.
Feng Yi Lan still has no idea what made the girl accept trash like Zheng Wenting when she surely had much better options than him. But the saying must be true that 'bad experiences and bad people are bound to be encountered in one's life long journey.
She was smiling while sitting with Su Fai when suddenly her eyes caught a known silhouette at some distance. Her eyes move to gaze in the direction. Confirming the person at a distance, her expression got still for a fraction of second, but it was back to normal before anyone could even notice that.
Su Fai too caught her gaze but was unable to tell who she was looking at. "Is there someone you know?" he asked, his eyes still scanning through the crowd, in the direction Feng Yi Lan was looking.
"Umm no, no … living in the same city for almost half of my life, I will always find one or two familiar figures around. There is nothing special, not someone who I know personally. Leave all that and let's continue our discussions", as she said, a smile made her lips curled from the side, giving a perfect arc on her face. She could feel someone's time to time gaze on herself from a distance but she decided to ignore it. Not like she cared or feared about it.
Su Fai also did not provoke any further. He looked at the woman and said all casually. "Yi Lan, what do you think? Will I have a chance this time? Last time I missed it because I had to urgently leave this country with my parents but since this time I got the chance, what do you think of the possibilities".
Feng Yi Lan was taken aback with both his words and seriousness. This thing never hit her thoughts. She could see harmless desperation in his eyes though his eyes were looking down to his glass. No question that she knew his liking for Li Xue since high school.
Pressing her hands lightly over his, she said in a light tone, "Su Fai, are you asking me to console you? To be honest, I have never thought about it and the chances of her being with you seem to be less as she is not in favour of any relationship but I won't deny the minimal chances you definitely have with her since she is single".
"You don't have to be so serious about it. Just go with the flow. In the worst case, you can come and date me. I would be happy with it. It's not like you would take celibacy if things do not go the way you wanted it to go" She added with a light laugh towards the end as her hands remained over his.
"…", the man did not say anything but his eyes were serious about something, that almost made Yi Lan think twice about her plans. She was not too sure about Li Xue and there is no way she could force her into some relationship when she was not ready for it.
Blinking her eyes twice she said, "Hey, Su Fai, don't scare me with your serious expressions. In the worst situation, you can come and date me. I told you already. And believe me, I am not that bad choice. But don't think to do anything that will bring curses for me from both Uncle and Aunt Su. I am still young to handle something like that".
She said as her expressions grew a little worrisome.
Su Fai sighed as a smile broke on his lips. "Yes, yes, I will date you … You are also beautiful and …" before he could complete his words, someone interrupted in between.
"Feng Yi Lan, you are here. I never knew that you also came to this restaurant and that too this late. I mean it's already half-past ten", the voice held some warmth but at the same, some questions were hidden in it.
When Yi Lan heard her name getting mentioned, she turned to greet the person too. "Omo! Director Qi is here too. I have seen you entering before but since you have a companion with you, I thought it would be indecent for me to interrupt you there"
She said with a smile. Her expression is all plain and sober. Su Fai was a little baffled at the scene. He looked at the man and then at his friend. Not knowing what else to say, he asked, "Yi Lan, this is …"
"Oh so sorry I did not realize to introduce you before. Su Fai, this is Director Qi Shuai, the Director Chief of Feng Internationals and also a very good friend to my Brother", she introduced gesturing Su Fai towards Qi Shuai and repeated the same for the Qi Shuai, "And this is Su Fai, a very good and close friend of mine from the high school days".
Like a gentleman he was, Su Fai stood up to reciprocate to the introduction. "Hello, Director Qi! It's nice meeting you. Though I am not from the business world, I have heard a lot about you, since the fashion industry has a close link with the business industry." He said and then extended his hands out to him.
Qi Shuai looked at him with an expression of disinterest and then reverted his eyes to the woman whose smile was simply not leaving her face. "If your dinner is over then I can drop you off at your apartment. Come on, take your bag and we can leave. It's already getting late".
He said and then waited for her to make some movement but nothing such happened. Feng Yi Lan just stood at her place as she said with a chuckle of surprise. "Haha … Director Qi, do you still take me as some small girl. I am all grown up now. Don't worry, I can manage on my own. I have got my car here. You don't have to bother yourself"
