Super War God in the City

Chapter 228: More Nonsense Will Cost You Your Life

Alice’s Cafe, a high-end French restaurant with a distinct style in Binzhou.

Shangguan Yue, dressed in a white dress, sat alone by the window. From the occasional glances she cast around, it was evident she was feeling nervous and unsettled.

Initially, she didn’t think much of Ling Fan, but after that day at the Xinghua Banquet, her perception of him changed completely.

Soon, a handsome young man appeared at the entrance and quickly spotted her.

"Hey, Beauty Shangguan!" Ling Fan greeted with a smile from afar.

Shangguan Yue immediately became tense and stood up quickly, returning a restrained smile.

"Thank you for coming. What would you like to drink? I’ll order for you," Shangguan Yue hurriedly said, her tone betraying a hint of reverence.

Ling Fan took a seat opposite her, feeling a bit odd inside. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days, and Shangguan Yue seemed more reserved, didn’t she?

"Why so polite all of a sudden? You don’t owe me any money, just relax!" Ling Fan chuckled.

Shangguan Yue sat across from him, sweating internally. He spoke so easily, saying to make herself at home; she wished she could, but alas, she was unable to!

The thought of Ling Fan’s heroic performance that day made her heart pound with anxiety. Staring at his casually radiant figure before her, she found herself somewhat dazed.

It was hard to reconcile the image of him from that day with the person sitting in front of her now. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that the contradictory qualities of dominance and humility could exist in the same person.

At that moment, a beautiful waitress approached them, a French server who spoke with a heavy, awkward Chinese accent, "What would you like to drink?"

Shangguan Yue took the menu, flipped through it a couple of times, and realized she had no idea what to order. This place only had beverages, fruit salads, cookies, pizza, and other snacks.

After scanning for a while, she couldn’t find anything suitable for Ling Fan to eat. Shangguan Yue lacked experience in this matter—she usually came with girlfriends who all enjoyed such places and had never arranged a meet-up with a man before!

"Shall we go somewhere else?" Shangguan Yue suggested sheepishly.

Ling Fan had just eaten and wasn’t hungry, "I just had a meal before coming here, and I was actually thinking of having a drink. Go ahead, you order!"

Shangguan Yue nodded, ordering two cups of hot coffee along with several fruit salads and a few snacks.

After the waitress took note of the order and was about to leave, Ling Fan stopped her.

"Wait, replace the banana and mango, and add longan, kumquat, and dark plum instead," Ling Fan told the server in fluent French.

The server’s eyes lit up with surprise, "Sir, you speak French?"

"Heh, I’ve always admired the romance of the French, so I spent some time in your country!" Ling Fan explained with a smile.

"We’re very grateful for your fondness of our country, and we like Huaxia too. The bananas and mangoes are on us!" the server said enthusiastically.

"Thank you for the kind gesture. Bananas and mangoes are cool in nature, but have very little fat, this lady ordered them to control her figure!

Yet, recently she has been feeling quite chilly, which is why I chose some warm-natured fruits for her instead. You should avoid eating them too frequently, especially during your period!" Ling Fan explained with a smile, imparting some Huaxia knowledge to his French friend.

The French beauty was amazed, "Oh, I see! Thank you so much, I will certainly share your advice with my French friends!"

Turning to Shangguan Yue with her clumsy Chinese, the server said admiringly, "Ma’am, your boyfriend is really good to you, he’s the most considerate man I’ve ever seen!"

Having said that, the waitress left cheerfully.

This left Shangguan Yue dumbfounded; she didn’t understand French and had no idea what Ling Fan had just said, looking at him with a mix of bewilderment and slight embarrassment.

"This guy can speak French too? Is the Vice Minister of Tian Yun’s Security Department really that outstanding!" Shangguan Yue muttered in her heart.

"What did you just say to her?" Shangguan Yue couldn’t help but be curious, especially since the waitress’s parting words had left her as confused as a monk facing a riddle.

Ling Fan smiled awkwardly, not having expected the beautiful waitress to throw in that last remark. He then translated what he had said earlier for Shangguan Yue.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yue felt an indescribable warmth and fluttering in her heart. When had anyone ever shown her such detailed and attentive care? Her gaze at Ling Fan suddenly became more complex.

Little did Official Ling know that his casual act had set the lady’s heart aflutter. His master, Yan Bao, had said that he was destined to attract romantic trouble.

You say you have no interest in her, so why care so aimlessly? Whether she is cold or not is none of your business, yet these careless actions unintentionally made women who had interacted with him develop feelings for him.

Official Ling considered himself innocent and always acted according to his true feelings, never thinking about these things, and soon the fruit and drinks were served.

He took a sip of coffee and said to the somewhat distracted Shangguan Yue, "I’m free these days and can treat your mother. May I know where she is right now?"

At his words, Shangguan Yue snapped back to reality, "My mom is back in my hometown, looked after by a nanny. As long as you can cure my mom, I promise to join Tian Yun!"

"Deal, then it’s settled. You don’t have to worry about Hua Yi; I’ll handle it!" Ling Fan said happily. Since he had already offended Hua Yi thoroughly, he wasn’t afraid to do it a bit more.

"Where’s your hometown? Can we leave tomorrow?" Ling Fan inquired.

"Yes, my hometown is in Danyang. Give me your ID number and I’ll book the tickets online for you!" Shangguan Yue offered.

"Mhm, I’ll send it to you on my phone later!" Ling Fan said as he ate some fruit, nodding repeatedly.

Official Ling promptly agreed without a second thought, not even realizing that she was asking for his ID number, clueless to the implication!

Just then, a young man strutted over and stood in front of Ling Fan’s table, addressing Shangguan Yue, "Are you Shangguan Yue?"

"Hmm?"

Shangguan Yue was surprised and frowned, "And you are?"

"Good, my young master invites you to have a drink." The young man pointed towards a private room in the upstairs VIP area, speaking in an unequivocal tone.

Shangguan Yue’s expression immediately turned cold, "Sorry, I don’t know any young master of yours!"

"I advise you to go have that drink. My young master is none other than a son of the Zhongnan Noble House’s Ji Family. He’s inviting you over to sit with him because you’re a celebrity with some fame—don’t be ungrateful!" The young man sneered coldly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue’s face changed slightly. The Zhongnan Clan was not something she could afford to offend, and she immediately looked at Ling Fan with a plea in her eyes.

"Get lost now, or I’ll break your damned legs!" Ling Fan slammed his cup down on the table with a ’smack’ and said icily.

The young man’s expression changed, and he cursed at Ling Fan, "Who do you think you are? Do you know how powerful the Zhongnan Clan is?

You offend Young Master Ji and it won’t just be trouble for you that you can’t handle, but she’ll also suffer because of you!"

"Smack!"

"Shut up!" Ling Fan, catching him off guard, slapped the young man across the room.

"Damn it, I told you to get lost. Are you deaf? Another word and your life is mine! Get out!" Ling Fan was truly enraged.

The scions of these Martial Arts Families were so arrogant, totally forgetting their own surnames.
