Chapter 79: Chapter 79 When Did I Say Such a Thing?

Su Qingyan turned her head to look at Chen Fan, staring at him for a long time without speaking.

Chen Fan was serious, "I’m serious."

But Su Qingyan said, "I’m on my period."

The air fell silent for a few seconds.

The front desk ladies couldn’t help but snicker.

Chen Fan pretended to cough to hide his inner embarrassment, "Well, I was thinking from a money-saving perspective, but if you find it inconvenient, then let’s get separate rooms."

Su Qingyan rolled her eyes at Chen Fan and continued to let the front desk lady proceed with the check-in.

That night, the two of them went to the famous snack street in the Provincial City.

Compared to the romance of a Western restaurant, Chen Fan actually preferred this kind of simple and down-to-earth date.

A few dollars for a sugar-coated hawthorn, roasted wheat gluten, and stinky tofu could bring out the most genial and beautiful smile on Su Qingyan’s face.

The next morning.

Chen Fan followed Su Qingyan to an office building.

Su Qingyan was talking business with a man dressed in a suit and wearing glasses.

Chen Fan sat in the waiting area, silently practicing the Void Body Refining Skills.

"Without the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, my cultivation speed has really plummeted. Although this is the Provincial City, the spiritual energy in the air isn’t much denser than in Jiangcheng," Chen Fan mused.

An entire morning passed.

Su Qingyan finally finished her business and came over to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan ended his cultivation and looked at Su Qingyan, "What were you talking about that took all morning?"

Su Qingyan calmly replied, "I bought this building."

Chen Fan: "???"

Seeing Chen Fan’s reaction, Su Qingyan explained, "I plan to relocate the company to the Provincial City. This will be the new headquarters of Qingyan Pharmaceuticals."

"Compared to the Provincial City, Jiangcheng is indeed too small. If the company wants to grow, it can only move to a better place. Of course, the competition in the Provincial City is still fierce. Even with the Youth-Preserving Pill, the company will face many challenges once we move here."

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Regardless of the challenges, this starting point is definitely good. When do you plan to move?"

Su Qingyan replied, "I’ll start preparing soon. I’ve already arranged everything at the company. The move can happen very quickly."

She hesitated, then continued, "When the time comes, I will transfer the company to your name. The new name of the company will be Qingfan Pharmaceuticals. How does that sound?"

Chen Fan was taken aback, then frowned, "Transfer to my name? Why?"

Su Qingyan’s gaze shifted evasively, "The Youth-Preserving Pill was your invention. I think it’s more appropriate for you to manage the company."

Chen Fan had already guessed the reason and became excited, "Do you also think that you won’t be able to stay?"

Su Qingyan bit her lip, "Just... just in case."

Chen Fan looked at Su Qingyan fiercely, "I will not let the people from the Capital take you away easily. When the time comes, I’ll show them my determination."

Su Qingyan changed the subject, "Oh, let’s not think about that now. Some of my friends in the Provincial City have invited me out for dinner tonight. Do you want to join us?"

Chen Fan replied solemnly, "Go? Why not go! I want everyone around you to know that you are my, Chen Fan’s, woman!"

Su Qingyan laughed, "You’re terrible."

Changing the tone, she said, "But among those friends of mine are some high-profile socialites who are very snobbish and don’t get along well with me. They think nothing of the Su Family, and since my grandfather is far away and the emperor is high, they don’t care about him either. They will probably tease me at the dinner, so you’d better be prepared."

Chen Fan said proudly, "If anyone dares to bully my woman, I’ll make sure they regret it!"

Su Qingyan gave Chen Fan a reproachful look, but she was still very happy inside.

That evening, Su Qingyan wore a delicate makeup on her face and took Chen Fan to the highest standard music tavern in the Provincial City.

The lighting in the tavern was rather dim, decorated very artistically, and the resident singer on stage sung deep and soothing music.

From the clothing and adornments of the customers alone, it was evident that those who came here to eat and drink were either rich or noble.

Su Qingyan led Chen Fan to a high-end booth.

Several men and women were sitting on the sofa; the men in suits and ties exuded an extraordinary aura, while the women had exquisite makeup and wore luxurious clothes, indistinguishable from the socialites seen online.

A girl with long hair falling like a waterfall and a fair complexion saw Su Qingyan and immediately stood up excitedly, "Qingyan, you’re here!"

Su Qingyan shook hands with the girl, "Ding Ling, it’s been years, and you’ve become even more charming."

Ding Ling smiled and said, "Coming from such a beautiful woman like you, saying I have charm almost makes me embarrassed."

A woman with curly waves, a statuesque figure, and a beautiful face, though heavily made up, looked at Su Qingyan with disdain and muttered, "All you do is heap praise on each other when you meet. Aside from a pretty face, you don’t have much else to talk about."

The several socialites sitting beside her nodded in agreement.

Su Qingyan greeted everyone in turn, then turned to the curly-haired woman with a smirk, "Dong Peiyun, did you eat dumplings today? Why do I smell a sour scent as soon as I arrive?"

Dong Peiyun pursed her lips, "Please, with my family’s wealth and incomparable beauty, why would I be envious of you?"

The several socialites behind her gave Su Qingyan hostile looks.

Chen Fan glanced at a few people, including Dong Peiyun, and found they all shared one thing in common: none were as pretty as Su Qingyan.

Seeing the two starting to bicker upon meeting, Ding Ling quickly tried to smooth things over, "Qingyan, you haven’t introduced us to your companion yet."

Su Qingyan wrapped her arm around Chen Fan’s arm with poise, "This is my boyfriend, Chen Fan!"

The crowd hurriedly sized Chen Fan up, looking surprised.

Dong Peiyun scoffed, "Su Qingyan, you’re quite pretty, but how can your taste be so poor? Though the Su Family is just a small clan from a small place like Jiangcheng, you should at least find a decent boyfriend. How can you pull a laborer from a construction site to be your boyfriend?"

Su Qingyan gave Dong Peiyun a cold look, "My boyfriend is quite impressive, not something a shallow person like you could understand."

With that, she sat down with Chen Fan on the sofa.

Ding Ling politely shook hands with Chen Fan and whispered, "Don’t mind her, I think you’re great."

Once everyone had arrived, the dinner party officially started, and they chatted while drinking.

Dong Peiyun kept her focus on mocking Su Qingyan and deliberately brought up a topic, "Have you heard about Master Qingyun, a new figure rising in the art scene lately?"

A guy immediately clapped his hands, "I heard about it! I’ve seen that Master Qingyun’s paintings are truly amazing. I even asked someone to buy me one of his works, but they are so sought after that they’re near impossible to get."

A smug expression appeared on Dong Peiyun’s face, "I managed to get one!"

She looked at Su Qingyan, "You know, Master Qingyun is from Jiangcheng. Su Qingyan, as someone from Jiangcheng, do you know Master Qingyun?"

Su Qingyan glanced at Chen Fan beside her, her expression odd.

Seeing Su Qingyan not speaking, Dong Peiyun sneered contemptuously, "That figures. Master Qingyun is an art master, and you’re just a pretty vase. He probably doesn’t care about you at all. I was thinking too much."

Then she addressed everyone, "Actually, I’ll tell you a secret, I’m good friends with Master Qingyun. He really admires my artistic talent and said he has long admired me and wants to invite me out for a meal."

Everyone looked envious.

Even Ding Ling felt a tinge of jealousy, as she also admired Master Qingyun’s paintings.

At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly spoke languidly, "When did I ever say such things?"
