<h4>Chapter 116: Chapter 116 My Task is Only for You</h4><h4></h4>


    In the office, Li Haiping awkwardly said to Zhu Dan, "Expert Zhu, because Fengtai Vige is so remote, the recent storm destroyed arge area of the roads, and the construction crew is still repairing them. However, because of thendslides, coupled with the long-neglected roads, small cars simply can’t get through. Maybe we could just take a look nearby."


    "No, I came here to do research, and if I can’t see the test fields, then am I here for sightseeing? Even if I have to walk on foot, I’m going to make it to those test fields today."


    Zhu Dan’s stubbornness was quite formidable. Hearing her words, Li Haiping could only look helplessly toward Lin Fan. Her father was Zhu Defu, after all. If anything were to go wrong, the consequences would be unthinkable.


    "Ms. Dan, don’t be anxious. I understand how you feel. Rest assured, if the road really can’t be used, I will carry you there myself if I have to. But, as they say, humans are iron and food is steel; without a meal, one is panic-stricken with hunger. Let’s go to the cafeteria and have something to eat first. I’ll get in touch with the vige secretary and make sure to find a way to get you to those test fields."


    With Lin Fan’s chest-thumping guarantee, Zhu Dan rxed a bit. Led by Li Haiping, they headed for the townmittee’s cafeteria, while Lin Fan picked up the phone and dialed Zhou Daguai’s number. The call was quickly answered, and after exining the situation, Zhou Daguai grew anxious, "Mayor Lin, the heavy rain this weekend washed out the road again. At the fastest, it will take three days toplete the emergency repairs."


    "Three days? That won’t do. We can’t even wait one day. You have to think of something."


    Lin Fan frowned. Zhu Dan’s strong-willed nature was well-known. Making her wait three days would mean all his previous efforts would be for naught. To keep this youngdy happy, he would have to take her to the test fields himself, even if it meant walking.


    "There is another way. The old road used to go through the back mountain of Fengtai Vige. It’s quite bumpy, as it hasn’t been maintained for many years."


    Zhou Daguai’s words gave Lin Fan an idea, "Bumpy isn’t a problem. Arrange a ce for us to stay tonight. I’ll take Expert Zhu over... oh right, I remember that the son of Fengtai Vige’s vige head married the daughter of Victory Vige’s vige head, Cai Jing, right? Just arrange for us to stay at her ce."


    After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan went all the way to the cafeteria and conveyed Zhou Daguai’s words to Zhu Dan.


    "The mountain road is said to be in poor condition and can only be traversed by a tractor. Is that okay with you, Expert Zhu?"


    "I’m fine... Just, are you really going to apany me?"


    Zhu Dan nodded without hesitation, though she was still somewhat frantic, as it was her first time reallying down to the countryside.


    "Of course. My job this week is to apany the expert."


    Seeing Zhu Dan’s somewhat dependent expression, a sly smile crossed Lin Fan’s lips. Such an innocent young wife, and Zhu Defu’s beloved to boot; if he could win her over, wouldn’t he have an extra source of support in the future?


    Moreover, Li Libo’s disdain and contempt for him still rankled, and the best way to deal with it was to make him wear a cuckold’s cap.


    "Chug, chug, chug, chug..."


    On the neglected mountain road, the tractor belched ck smoke.


    This mountain path was an old road from the eighties, unused for decades and overgrown with weeds. Lin Fan and Zhu Dan had started off sitting in the back of the tractor, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains, but as the road grew more bumpy, they were almost thrown out, and now they had to stand, using their knees to cushion the violent shaking.


    "Ms. Dan, are you okay? This road is a bit long. If it’s too much, we can turn back."


    Lin Fan looked at the endless mountains ahead. Zhou Daguai had said that this old road would take at least three to four hours to traverse.


    "I’m fine... My field of study is agricultural technology... This is exactly where I should be putting down roots."


    Holding tightly to the bar above, Zhu Dan still looked spirited, but the severity of the bumps was more violent than she had imagined. Before long, her hands grew sore and weak. Almost failing to hold on, she nearly was thrown out, but Lin Fan, with swift hands, wrapped his arms around her waist.


    "Ms. Dan, you won’t be able to hold on like this. Why don’t you hold on to my waist instead? Safety first."


    Feeling Zhu Dan’s softness against him, Lin Fan grasped a beam with one hand, looking down at the blushing beauty in his arms.


    "Well... okay..."


    Her palms were already sore, and it was clear she wouldn’t be able to continue like this. Though she was shy, Zhu Dan nheless held tight to Lin Fan’s waist. To stabilize her, Lin Fan could only spread his left leg between hers, hugging her waist with one arm and pressing her body against his chest.


    Such intimate contact made Zhu Dan blush like an apple; as she tried to divert her attention, she never would have imagined holding onto a man so tightly. But at that moment, she had no choice but to cling to Lin Fan’s waist for fear of being thrown out of the tractor, all while his leg persisted in rubbing against the sensitive part at the top of her thighs.
