"You said it casually, but I took it seriously!" Jiang Meili stated directly, "If he's really the type I like, I won't be polite."
"That's not an issue. If Sister Jiang really likes him, she can certainly make a move." Lin Ke said with confidence, "If he really leaves with you, then he's not the one destined for me!"
"Little Ke, you're so confident!" Jiang Meili's interest was instantly piqued. "In the entire Longdu, not many men can resist my allure. Given the chance, they wouldn't let it pass!"
"It seems Sister Jiang wants to test my husband!" Lin Ke shrugged.
Jiang Meili shrugged, her expression becoming even more serious, as if Lin Ke had spoken the truth.
As night fell, inside a private room at Deyilou, Jiang Meili was already seated, dressed in a连衣裙 that made her look like a fairy.
Outside Deyilou, Lin Ke was pulling Lu Fan along. "Don't worry, it's just a casual dinner, nothing else. Besides, he's my college roommate. It's only natural for him to invite us to dinner since I've come to Longdu."
"It's normal for him to invite you to dinner, but why drag me along!" Lu Fan said helplessly.
"You're my husband, who else would I drag if not you!" Lin Ke said with a slight frown. "If you really don't want to go, I'll just grab a random man off the street!"
With that, Lin Ke, looking annoyed, headed towards Deyilou.
Seeing the situation was not good, Lu Fan quickly chased after her. "My dear wife, you're joking. How can we just pull someone off the street? When a college roommate invites us to dinner, I naturally have to go. Otherwise, wouldn't that be too disrespectful?"
"That's more like it!"
Lin Ke pouted, her anger subsiding slightly.
Not long after, they arrived at the private room. Upon seeing Lu Fan and Lin Ke arrive, Jiang Meili quickly stepped forward, simultaneously appraising Lu Fan.
"This must be Little Ke's husband! He's truly handsome and well-mannered." Jiang Meili smiled. "Come, sit down quickly, don't be shy."
Lu Fan smiled and slowly sat down. He hadn't wanted to come; if not for Lin Ke's insistence, he would have preferred to lie in the hotel.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, what do you do for a living?"
Jiang Meili asked, "To be able to marry Little Ke!"
"Unemployed!" Lu Fan shrugged. "We're all friends, so I won't stand on ceremony!"
Lu Fan began to eat casually, not paying much attention.
Jiang Meili smiled, instantly losing interest in Lu Fan. As a strong woman, she looked down upon the unemployed. Men who didn't focus on their careers were not good.
Thinking this, she felt even more regret for Lin Ke, who she thought had found a good husband, only to find him unsatisfactory.
"Little Fan, I've decided to stay with Sister Jiang during my time in Longdu!" Lin Ke said. "She happens to have a villa in Longdu, and I quite liked it when I visited today!"
"If you like it, buy one," Lu Fan said with a smile. "We're not short of money!"
"Qingyun Group is going to develop in Longdu, and we'll need a lot of funds in the future," Lin Ke said seriously. "Money still needs to be spent wisely."
Jiang Meili glanced at Lu Fan, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Lu Fan was merely a man living off his wife's earnings, and his tone just now was unbearable.
If only she knew that Lu Fan's assets were enough to buy the entire Longdu.
"Since you want to stay there, I'll reluctantly accompany you."
Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, I still need to protect your safety."
"This..." Lin Ke looked a bit embarrassed.
"You're going too?" Jiang Meili was taken aback. "That might not be appropriate!"
"If you think it's not appropriate, then we won't go," Lu Fan shrugged.
"It's not inappropriate. My villa has plenty of rooms. If you want to go, then go," Jiang Meili said, rolling her eyes.
"That's good then!" Lu Fan continued eating. "I see your complexion is dark. Nothing good will happen today, so you should be extra careful!"
"You can also read fortunes?" Jiang Meili asked suspiciously. "Aren't you just putting on a show? Or is this how you tricked Little Ke into marrying you!"
"I'm serious!" Lu Fan said helplessly.
"Sister Jiang, Little Fan isn't lying. You should be careful tonight," Lin Ke said.
"Little Ke, even you're saying this now!" Jiang Meili said with a wry smile. "I don't believe in such things. Besides, your husband is glib-tongued, and what he says is probably just to fool people!"
"Glib-tongued?"
Lin Ke looked a bit embarrassed. Lu Fan was always meticulous in his actions; he had never been described like this.
As dinner was about to end, Lin Ke went to the restroom. Jiang Meili also slowly stood up and walked to Lu Fan's side. "Mr. Lu, who do you think is more beautiful, me or Little Ke?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback and looked at Jiang Meili. "That's a difficult question to answer!"
"What's so difficult to answer!" Jiang Meili took Lu Fan's hand, exuding a woman's fragrance. She wanted to test how strong Lu Fan's willpower was.
Before, countless men had fallen under her charm, especially at such close proximity and with her attire today. She was very confident she could make Lu Fan fall for her, and in doing so, she could reveal Lu Fan's true colors to Little Ke.
"If I have to tell the truth, my wife is definitely the most beautiful!" Lu Fan said with a righteous expression. "Miss Jiang, you're standing so close. If my wife finds out, it will be hard to explain. It's best to maintain a clear boundary!"
"Mr. Lu, why say something against your conscience!" Jiang Meili smiled. "As long as Mr. Lu is willing, I'll be waiting for you tonight!"
"Cough cough..."
Lu Fan coughed a few times. "I never expected that Little Ke's college roommate would be such a person. You've truly surprised me!"
"What, you're not willing?" Jiang Meili asked again. "I'm not inferior to Little Ke!"
"As a husband, how can I betray my wife!"
Lu Fan's voice was firm. "Miss Jiang, please reconsider and don't act this way, lest it cause a misunderstanding!"
Seeing Lu Fan's integrity, Jiang Meili was slightly relieved and returned to her seat. Although she despised Lu Fan for living off his wife, she was quite satisfied with his loyalty.
Lin Ke, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, was also very happy. She knew Lu Fan would not betray her, nor would he hurt her for another woman.
However, she didn't know that Lu Fan had extremely keen senses. He often eavesdropped outside the door, and Lu Fan already knew, so his words just now were also somewhat veiled.
When Lin Ke returned, Lu Fan also found an opportunity to head to the restroom. Seeing that only the two of them were left in the private room, Lin Ke boasted, "How was it? I didn't tell you wrong, did I? The man I fancy never disappoints me."
"He does have some willpower," Jiang Meili nodded, feeling even more indignant. If it were a normal man, he would have surrendered under her temptation. Lu Fan's display of loyalty made her doubt if he was even a man, otherwise, why would he be like this.
