Chapter 145 A Chance Encounter with Sun Qian
The following day, in the early morning.
Li Qianfan woke from his slumber and, looking at the superb beauties on either side of him, the intense battle of the previous night flooded his mind.
One had to say, Bai Yusha and Huang Yuanyuan were truly fierce.
Especially Bai Yusha, who, even after a fierce battle lasting an hour and a half with Li Qianfan, still fought valiantly in the new fight and with even more tricks up her sleeve. Paired with Huang Yuanyuan’s cooperation, they kept at it with Li Qianfan until after four in the morning before calling it quits.
If he had been an ordinary man, facing those two thirsty beauties, he could only beg for mercy.
Luckily, Li Qianfan was no ordinary man. Even though he was drained by the end, he still came out with a narrow victory in this grand battle.
In the end, Bai Yusha and Huang Yuanyuan both begged for mercy, lying dazed on the bed, with Bai Yusha even calling Li Qianfan “daddy” at one point.
…
After leaving Bai Yusha’s house, as Li Qianfan returned to the rented courtyard to prepare the Yang Strengthening Pills, he suddenly remembered his phone had run out of battery last night. He borrowed a charger from Zhao Susu and, turning on the phone, found many missed calls—all from his sister-in-law, Meng Lin.
Gulp!
Li Qianfan’s heart skipped a beat, realizing he had forgotten to tell his sister-in-law he wouldn’t be coming home last night. The multitude of missed calls clearly showed she was worried.
Without further thought, Li Qianfan immediately called Meng Lin back.
“Xiao Fan, where were you last night?”
Meng Lin quickly answered the phone, her tone full of anxiety.
Feeling his sister-in-law’s concern, warmth filled Li Qianfan’s heart, and he gently said, “Sister-in-law, I stayed over at a friend’s house last night and forgot to call you. I’m really sorry for making you worry for so long.”
“As long as you’re alright, I was afraid something dangerous had happened to you.”
Meng Lin heaved a deep sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, saying, “I was so worried about you last night; I didn’t sleep until five in the morning. I’m going to rest now.”
“Sister-in-law, you should rest,” Li Qianfan felt a great deal of guilt. While he had been frolicking with Huang Yuanyuan and Bai Yusha, Meng Lin had been in a state of turmoil at home. Sighing, he resolved that in the future, he must remember to notify his sister-in-law if he planned to stay out overnight.
By the morning, Li Qianfan had finished making the remaining fifty Yang Strengthening Pills.
The three hundred Yang Strengthening Pills he had promised to Lin Yiren were now ready.
Just as Li Qianfan was about to deliver the pills to Lin Yiren, he received a call from Ye Ling’er to have lunch together with Zhang Ju.
After all, this mattered for his chance to become a tutor at the Four Seas Martial Pavilion, so Li Qianfan decided to postpone delivering the elixir to Lin Yiren. There would be no harm in going after finishing lunch with Zhang Ju.
“Li Qianfan, I asked around, and Zhang Ju has been wanting to eat fried chicken lately. At eleven-thirty in the morning, you go to Taoyuan Fried Chicken Restaurant to wait for us,” Ye Ling’er told him over the phone.
What a coincidence!
Li Qianfan had been wanting to eat Taoyuan fried chicken for a while now. He had arranged to go with Sun Qian, but it hadn’t happened yet due to various reasons. It seemed he would have to satisfy his craving now.
Then, Li Qianfan remembered something Hong Jiumei had mentioned—she said Sun Qian’s sister was exceptionally beautiful, like a fairy, which had always made him quite curious. Today would be the perfect opportunity to see Sun Qian’s sister for himself at the fried chicken restaurant.
…
At eleven-thirty noon.
Li Qianfan arrived at the Taoyuan Fried Chicken Restaurant by taxi, and a look of surprise crossed his face as he regarded the three-story building before him. True to its reputation as Taoyuan County’s century-old brand, creating such a large-scale restaurant spoke volumes of its booming business.
At this peak mealtime, the restaurant was already bursting at the seams, with the parking lot filled to capacity, including a few out-of-town license plates.
Clearly, the popularity of Taoyuan fried chicken was staggering, drawing even visitors from afar eager to taste it.
“Li Qianfan, what brings you here?”
As soon as he entered, Li Qianfan heard a familiar voice close by.
Turning his head, Li Qianfan saw Sun Qian approaching, and a look of surprise flashed across his face as he said, “Sun Qian, what are you doing here?”
“I’m off today, so I came to help out my sister!”
All of a sudden, a deep anger surfaced on Sun Qian’s face as she said, “I should be asking you that. I’ve tried to make plans with you for so long, and you never showed up, and now you sneak here by yourself to eat fried chicken. Aren’t you going a bit too far?”
Err—
A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Qianfan’s face as he said, “The reason I’m here for fried chicken today is a special circumstance. I wanted to treat two friends to a meal, there’s something important.”
“What is it?” Sun Qian, ever the curious one, asked.
“It’s work-related. I’m really sorry, but I’ve been too busy recently. Once this is over, we’ll have a meal together, my treat,” Li Qianfan replied with a smile.
Since she still needed Li Qianfan to vouch for her, Sun Qian did not press him further and nodded lightly, “It’s not really about the meal, I just want to finish what we started before. Otherwise, it’s always going to bother me.”
“What are you talking about?”
Li Qianfan was utterly confused. Was there something he and Sun Qian hadn’t finished?
“Oh my, how could you forget?”
Sun Qian’s brow furrowed as she hurriedly looked around. When she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered, “Last time, when I was measuring you in the break room, a customer suddenly arrived, and I had to stop midway. We need to find a chance to let me measure you again.”
“Is that really necessary?” A wry smile appeared on Li Qianfan’s face. Explore more stories at empire
Suddenly, Sun Qian’s expression became serious as she insisted, “Of course, it’s necessary. I talked about you in my girlfriends’ chat group, and they all think I’m bragging. I have to send them the measurements to prove I wasn’t lying.”
Embarrassment painted Li Qianfan’s face: “All your friends know about it?”
Sun Qian nodded firmly, “Yes, so you have to let me measure you, please, I beg of you. You’re arranging a meal for guests today, how about this—I’ll treat?”
“No need, I can handle it myself.”
Li Qianfan smiled and said, “No problem, I agree to let you take the measurements. But can you wait a bit? Let me finish the meal with my colleagues, and then you can measure, okay?”
“Of course, that’s no problem. I’ll wait for you!”
At that, Sun Qian’s spirits lifted, and she asked, “Did you reserve a private room in advance?”
Li Qianfan shook his head, “No, I didn’t.”
Immediately, Sun Qian rolled her eyes at Li Qianfan, “You come to Taoyuan’s fried chicken restaurant to treat guests and you don’t even reserve a private room in advance? Believe it or not, if you had been ten more minutes late, there wouldn’t even be a space for you in the main hall.”
“I’ve been negligent.” A moment of tightness gripped Li Qianfan’s heart; how could he have forgotten something so important?
“Since you’ve agreed to let me take the measurements, I’ll take you to my sister, she’ll arrange a nice room for you.”
“Alright, thank you!”
Under Sun Qian’s guidance, Li Qianfan headed to the reception area, but when he saw the beautiful woman standing behind the counter, he was momentarily dumbstruck…
