Su Fan felt a thrill of excitement inside.

Yin Qianyue had finally taken the bait.

Yet, with the arrow on the string, Su Fan hesitated.

He glanced at the skies outside, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Yin Qianyue.

"A good dish is worth waiting for, today is just our first meeting after all, why the hurry, Miss Yin? I think, let's wait a few more days, shall we?"

"Why, is it because you're not satisfied with me?"

Yin Qianyue was somewhat agitated.

After Su Fan's narration, she had become quite eager.

"Hehe, I think you've misunderstood me, Miss Yin. To tell the truth, as of now, I have a very good impression of you from our meeting today."

"It's just that I already have plans tonight, so, we'll have to make another date."

"Plans, like with me?"

"Are you scouting for a new servant?"

Yin Qianyue's expression turned visibly anxious and disappointed.

Su Fan neither confirmed nor denied.

He simply gave Yin Qianyue an ambiguous answer.

"That's my private business, you're crossing the line. I look forward to our next meeting."

With that, Su Fan turned and left.

Leaving only his dashing silhouette to Yin Qianyue.

"What does he mean, is he treating me as a backup?"

Through the glass window, watching Su Fan drive away, Yin Qianyue felt a bit disheartened.

"How could it be, it's just our first meeting, why am I so taken with him, even feeling upset?"

"This can't be, Yin Qianyue, you need to stay clear-headed, you just wanted to relieve some stress."

...

The car stopped outside Li Jian's house.

Su Fan didn't go straight home, but instead made a video call to Wang Fei.

All the way home, he had been pondering one question,

was Yin Qianyue really a bad person?

According to Wang Fei, Yin Qianyue was hard to approach, a despicable woman, someone she could never coexist with.

Yet, from the dinner that lasted over an hour, Yin Qianyue seemed quite nice.

At least, not as bad as Wang Fei had described.

If not for Wang Fei asking him to set this trap, if he had met Yin Qianyue by chance and gotten to know her purely, Su Fan felt he would definitely have had a good impression of her.

This was also why, when Yin Qianyue suggested going to a hotel with him, Su Fan chose to refuse.

One must be wary of others but not harbor ill intentions oneself.

He still maintained a basic moral bottom line.

If Yin Qianyue was a bad person, he wouldn't mind giving her a proper lesson, to teach her a thing or two, but if she was a good person, without any ill will towards him, and yet he caused her pain, that seemed somewhat wrong.

Could it be that Sister Fei lied to me?

Is Sister Fei the bad one?

That doesn't seem right either.

Wang Fei answered quickly.

Clearly, she had been anxiously waiting.

"Why did you finish so soon, how did it go?"

Su Fan shook his head.

"It wasn't that it ended quickly, it's that it never started."

"Ah, what happened?"

Wang Fei immediately became anxious.

"Did she discover something?"

Su Fan answered.

"Probably not, it might be that her guard is just too strong."

"After dinner I suggested we go to a hotel, she said she wasn't feeling well today and declined, but she didn't show any aversion to me, said we could make another day when she has time. I think she probably wants to observe and see, doesn't she?"

"After all, she doesn't seem like someone who's that easy."

"That's her style alright, but wait, Su Fan, there's something odd about the way you talk, why are you saying good things about her?"

"Did that fox spirit take your soul?"

Wang Fei's face turned stern.
