38: Chapter 38, That Warty Toad!

Although Fang Yi was curious about what sneaky things Shen Hongyang was up to, there was not a hint of discomfort when Binnan sat down beside him, but rather he felt quite indifferent.

Yet, to Fang Yi it felt like: Binnan, as cold as a mountain, was sitting by his side, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Everyone had arrived at their seats, and then the dishes started coming in, course after course of exquisite and rare dishes that greatly whetted Fang Yi’s appetite.

During this time back in the country, he had always cooked for himself; now seeing a feast, he naturally got excited.

Suddenly Fang Yi thought, could it be that Binnan had taken seriously what he said last night?

But where was the beauty?

Why hadn’t he seen ten or eight beauties?

“What are you looking at?” Shen Binnan suddenly asked coldly.

“The decor here is quite luxurious…” Fang Yi skirted around the actual topic.

“I know what you want to look at,” Shen Binnan said.

Fang Yi was startled.

Then he heard Shen Binnan continue, “You asked for ten or eight girls, I didn’t have those, but I prepared two beauties for you.

I spent quite a sum, accurately speaking, it was tens of thousands, I can take you to them after dinner.”

Fang Yi was again startled, then he quickly reacted and looked at Shen Binnan, surprised, and said, “You took it seriously?”

“You spoke so freely last night, why shouldn’t I take it seriously?” Shen Binnan’s pretty face remained cold, yet there was a somewhat teasing expression.

Ye Qing clapped his forehead vigorously, feeling a great headache.

“Brother-in-law!

What’s wrong with you?” Shen Xiaoxiao saw Fang Yi’s unusual behavior and hurriedly asked.

However, because of the term “brother-in-law”, three pairs of eyes instantly turned toward her, and Shen Xiaoxiao quickly said, “Slip of the tongue…

all slips of the tongue, mom and dad, please don’t mind, sister, you too.”

Saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao playfully stuck out her tongue, bowed her head, and almost shrank under the table.

“I’m fine, let’s eat, let’s eat!” Fang Yi noticed the three people’s gazes turning toward him again and hurriedly said.

Dinner thus proceeded, but Fang Yi always felt uneasy, especially with both Shen Hongyang and Luo Sumei, the couple at the dining table staring at him, making him feel no relaxation at all.

Eventually, Fang Yi couldn’t hold back, made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and quickly fled from the private room.

“Binnan, how is the company doing recently?” Shen Hongyang put down his chopsticks.

“It’s the same as usual, no changes,” Shen Binnan answered.

“That’s good, but regarding the Black Water Alliance, you still have to be cautious.

Come back to the company in a few days,” Shen Hongyang said.

“Okay.”

“By the way,” Shen Hongyang suddenly remembered something and said, “Binnan, I want to talk to you.”

“About what?”

“About Fang Yi’s salary…”

…

Outside the private room, Fang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, as he not only wanted to escape the strange atmosphere in the room, but he genuinely needed to use the bathroom.

After visiting the restroom, Fang Yi came to the sink and saw a woman, which startled him: “Oh…”

The woman, upon hearing him, looked at Fang Yi with slight surprise.

She washed her slender white hands, dried them under the hand dryer, stared at Fang Yi, and said, “I remember you, you are Shen Binnan’s bodyguard.”

Fang Yi replied indifferently: “I remember you too.” He scrutinized the woman in front of him.

Just like that day by the lake in the park, her long black hair natural and understated, no makeup just lightly applied, her facial features were exquisite and stunningly beautiful.

A black form-fitting short-sleeved dress showcased her exquisite and perfect figure, exuding a noble and generous temperament, the epitome of elegance.

As Fang Yi was appraising her, Lin Mengyan suddenly extended her hand, “Pleased to meet you.”

Fang Yi reached out his right hand, about to shake hers, when he suddenly realized something and quickly switched to his left hand.

Lin Mengyan frowned, “What are you doing…”

“Ah…” Fang Yi said, “Miss Lin, I won’t lie to you, I just used the restroom and haven’t washed my hands yet.

If you really insist on shaking hands…”

This guy really has thick skin!

Lin Mengyan thought to herself, sneering internally as she withdrew her hand, “My name is Lin Mengyan.”

“Fang Yi.”

Fang Yi replied and then went to wash his hands.

Lin Mengyan waited outside and when Fang Yi came out, he asked, “Miss Lin, are you here to dine with friends?”

“And you?” Lin Mengyan returned the question without answering, “Are you here with Shen Binnan?”

Knowing that Shen Binnan didn’t get along with Lin Mengyan, Fang Yi immediately shook his head, “I’m here with friends.

It was indeed fortunate to meet you today, Miss Lin.

Let’s chat another time.”

With that, Fang Yi prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, Lin Mengyan said, “Mr.

Fang, please wait a moment.”

Fang Yi stopped in his tracks, puzzled as he looked towards Lin Mengyan.

Lin Mengyan smiled charmingly, “I’d like to ask for a favor from Mr.

Fang, if you would be willing?”

…

…

The door to the private room was pushed open, and Fang Yi entered with Lin Mengyan.

Inside by the round table sat several men.

To Fang Yi’s surprise, Li Zijie and Wang Chuye were also there, along with Lin Yuanhao…

They also saw Fang Yi who came in with Lin Mengyan, their expressions filled with surprise, then their gazes became complex, some angry, some sneering, various emotions displayed.

Aside from those three, there was another man who seemed quite out of place.

Why was he out of place?

Because he just sat there, not saying a word, not uttering a single syllable, yet he had an aura distinctly different from others, his demeanor exhibiting arrogance and dominance.

Fang Yi noticed him looking at him, especially those two sharp, sword-like gazes.

Lin Mengyan was quite pleased with everyone’s expressions.

She walked nonchalantly to her seat and said lightly, “Let me introduce him…

His name is Fang Yi, my new boyfriend.”

Gasps!

As soon as she spoke, the faces of the four men changed drastically, as if they had seen a ghost.

The out-of-place man’s brows suddenly revealed a flash of anger.

Lin Yuanhao was the first to stand up, “Lin Mengyan, what are you playing at!

When did he become your boyfriend!”

Wang Chuye sneered, “Isn’t he Binnan’s personal bodyguard… To think he could become the boyfriend of Lin Family’s daughter, Lin Mengyan, you must be refusing Bai Shao by saying this, right?”

Li Zijie spoke softly, “Just a dog by Shen Binnan’s side!”

If one were to say who among these three was most angry at Fang Yi, it was difficult to determine, but Fang Yi thought it over; since being with Shen Binnan, it seemed he had offended all these rich young masters at least once.

“Lin Yuanhao, Wang Chuye, and… Li Zijie…” Lin Mengyan scanned the three of them, her tone slightly cold, “Are you insulting my new boyfriend?”

The three were about to speak, but just then, Bai Shao, who had been silent, stood up.

He walked around the table and stood facing Fang Yi, his gaze piercing as he asked without turning his head, “You’re Mengyan’s new boyfriend?”

Unfazed by the intimidating gaze, Fang Yi met his sharp look and lifted the corner of his mouth, saying, “So, you’re the toad wanting to eat Mengyan’s swan?”
