<h4>Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Advantages of Insider Information</h4><h4></h4>


    Outside the hotel entrance, Lu Deshui and his mischievous friends were propping each other up, the picture of utter dishevelment.


    Especially Xie Zhifu, who had the poorest tolerance for alcohol, couldn’t even take a few steps before copsing to the ground, motionless.


    The others weren’t faring much better, having guzzled down a whole bottle of booze without touching a morsel of food, an unprecedented urrence.


    "Are these bastards sick or something? They didn’t eat a bite, just kept drinking like there’s no tomorrow, turning the inside of that room into a vomit bin as if they’ve never seen alcohol before!"


    The server, hands on hips, red angrily at the departing six, with the private room now in shambles. Anyone who went in would feel nauseous. But Bai Xue, having witnessed it all, had lost her previous anger and turned to Lin Fan with surprise written all over her face, "You did this?"


    "Of course, feeling better now?"


    Lin Fan said with a smile, winking. Clearly, Bai Xue also detested Lu Deshui, and making him look this sorry was indeed sweet revenge on her behalf.


    "Definitely feeling better, that old lecher deserved a lesson."


    Bai Xue’s fair face broke into a smile, "However, this guy is petty. By doing this to him, Mr. Zhu is going to have a tough time at school from now on, especially since he’s handling this title evaluation himself. Not getting the title can affect a lot, including future retirement pay."


    "Don’t worry, since I’ve stirred up this trouble, I’ll make sure to sort things out. It’s just a title evaluation, right? When the timees, I’ll take care of yours with his, to spare you any more trouble from that old pest."


    Lin Fan reassured her with augh. Such an issue might be a big deal for a small town elementary school, but not so much for the city. Of course, based on his past capabilities, this would have been impossible, but things are different now.


    "Then I really should thank you properly, shouldn’t I?"


    Bai Xue, propping her cheek in her hand, smiled at Lin Fan. Perhaps it was that luxury car that made everything he said seem more credible.


    "So, how do you n on thanking me?"


    Lin Fan looked greedily at Bai Xue across from him. Her round face seemed more and more beautiful the more he looked, and her natural air of elegance was out of ce in this small town. Add to that the sexy ck stockings beneath her skirt, and she would stand out even in the city as a stunning beauty.


    "I’m actually thinking about that right now, after all, as a town teacher, I’m not very worldly and not sure how to thank you."


    Bai Xue, sensing Lin Fan’s predatory gaze, blushed and instinctively covered her neckline while sitting up straighter. Clearly, she wasn’t the kind of woman to throw herself at a man. Fortunately, the look in her eyes when she looked at him wasn’t one of disgust, but rather it contained a touch of tender affection. However, perhaps because she was married, she dared not overstep.


    "If you insist on thanking me, just treat me to breakfast."


    Lin Fan said with a mischievous grin, his suggestion seemingly throwing Bai Xue off bnce. She blinked her beautifulrge eyes in confusion at Lin Fan, "Breakfast? What breakfast?"


    "Let’s eat breakfast at the noodle shop across from Tianhou Hotel. Remember? That’s where we first met. You left in such a rush you didn’t even pay for your noodles, and I had to pick up the tab."


    Lin Fan’s words took Bai Xue by surprise, but her face immediately blushed. She just realized that the person sitting across from her a few days ago had been Lin Fan, which left her unsure of what to do.


    "Then... thank you... for that..."


    The atmosphere instantly fell into an awkward silence. Bai Xue, who didn’t dare look up, was in a dilemma about whether to stay or leave. She bit her lip hard, not daring to look into Lin Fan’s eyes.


    "What’s the big deal? We are all adults here. Finding excitement is pretty normal, after all, these things are for our pleasure and don’t harm anyone else’s interests, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."


    Lin Fan hurried to reassure Bai Xue. Hearing his words, all Bai Xue could do was nervously fuss with her hair and say, "That’s not what I wanted... it was my husband who insisted on using it... Actually, I don’t really feel anything for that thing, then I forgot about it, and it fell out during breakfast..."


    "Oh, so that’s the story. Maybe you’re not using it right. You need to know where your sensitive spots are. Besides, that thing... it’s not just for putting inside... Next time, you might want to try cing it on the outside..."


    Lin Fan gave a knowing smile. Chen Jiayi had enlightened him with this sort of knowledge. No matter how good those toys were, they couldn’tpare to the real thing, and in that regard, he certainly had a talent unlike others.


    "You can do that...? Ah, stop it, how can you talk about this stuff with me?"


    Bai Xue suddenly caught on, realizing they had started discussing such private matters. Blushing, she said, "Are all you men so bad, always enjoying teasing others?"


    "A beauty is worth the tease. Since ancient times, ’for a gracefuldy, a gentleman is the seeker’, so it’s just men’s nature, I can’t escape it. But honestly, with your looks and temperament, I really can’t understand why you would stay in Lotus Town."


    Lin Fan licked his lips. Her beauty was on a par with Zhu Zhixuan. Zhu Zhixuan stayed in her hometown because her mother was gravely ill and needed care. With her looks, she should venture out into the world.


    "Just because someone is beautiful, they have to go out into the world? What kind of reasoning is that?"


    Bai Xue pouted. Although Lin Fan’s words were somewhat aggressive, she did not feel the disgust she had for Lu Deshui. Instead, there was a slight excitement when he spoke so eloquently.


    "Beauty is justice. Hasn’t it always been so? If you’re attractive, that’s a big advantage, since everyone appreciates beauty. A beautiful woman is like an intangible asset."


    Lin Fan’s clever ttery was music to Bai Xue’s ears. She blushed, resting her cheek on her hand, her eyes filled with tenderness. But time is always limited. ncing at her wristwatch, she sat up straight, "You’ll find out about some thingster. I have sses this afternoon and can’t keep chatting with you. I need to go home to change and then be back to work."


    "Find outter? Is there going to be a next time?"


    Watching Bai Xue stand up, Lin Fan asked with a smile. Though he hadn’t won this young housewife over just yet, at least they were a step closer now.


    "We’ll see. Life needs a little anticipation, right? Thank you for lunch, and I’ll treat you to breakfast sometime."


    Bai Xue stuck out her tongue and slung her bag over her shoulder as she headed out. Lin Fan watched her graceful figure walk away with a smile. The women from his past were either about quid pro quo or old acquaintances, but flirting with someone with no prior connection was much more interesting.


    Especially since, as she walked out, she didn’t forget to look back at Lin Fan and give a little wave. The swaying of her chest seemed to hint that their next meeting might hold even bigger surprises.
