Chapter 282: You Are My Choice
"You're not trying to back out, are you?"
Fang Ling blinked her beautiful eyes, deliberately putting on an innocent and pitiful expression.
If another girl made this expression, it might seem a bit forced and awkward.
But somehow, when Fang Ling did it, she looked pure and charming, just perfect.
Chen Fan knew Fang Ling's personality, so he was not fooled by her acting.
"No, no. If you're willing, I can take you out for a meal today."
Fang Ling shrugged, took two steps forward, and naturally sat on the back of Chen Fan's bicycle.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Now?"
Chen Fan frowned, feeling a bit awkward.
"Of course. Or do you need to go and ask your little girlfriend for permission first?" Fang Ling teased with a smile. "Should I give you half an hour?"
Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head without saying anything more.
He got on the bicycle and rode with Fang Ling towards the school gate.
Fang Ling excitedly shouted, wrapping her arms around Chen Fan's waist and pressing her firm yet soft body against his back excitedly.
Feeling the tight pressure on his back, Chen Fan felt a bit awkward.
"Actually... you don't need to hold on so tightly."
Fang Ling laughed and shouted, "I want to. What's wrong? Are you shy?"
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so conservative."
Chen Fan didn't let himself think too much about it and directly asked, "What would you like to eat, Senior Sister?"
Fang Ling thought for a moment and shouted, "I want to eat barbecue."
Chen Fan didn't ask further. There was a barbecue restaurant right across the school gate.
The two of them went in and went straight to the second floor, then chose an empty table to sit down.
Since it wasn't dinnertime yet, there weren't many customers in the restaurant.
A server brought the menu over, and Chen Fan pointed at Fang Ling.
"Give it to her and let her order."
Fang Ling didn't hold back and ordered a whole table full of dishes.
"Can you eat all of that?"
"Mind your own business!" Fang Ling glared at him. "It's not often I get a chance like this, so of course I'm going to make you pay for it."
Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head.
Plate after plate of meat and vegetables were quickly served, and Fang Ling grabbed a can of beer, gesturing to Chen Fan.
"Don't you want to have a can with me?"
Chen Fan shook his head. "I just had a meal, so I'll pass."
Fang Ling immediately put on a pitiful and sad look.
"Do you dislike me that much? You're so reluctant even when we're just having a meal together?"
Chen Fan laughed helplessly and took the beer.
"Alright, that's better."
Fang Ling opened a can for herself, took a sip, and then looked at Chen Fan.
"Are you still dating that little girlfriend of yours?"
Chen Fan nodded. "We have a good relationship."
"When you're done with her, consider me."
Chen Fan smiled wryly. "Senior Sister, can we be a bit more serious? This joke isn't funny at all."
But Fang Ling looked completely serious.
"Who's joking? I'm telling the truth."
"Why do you always think I'm joking with you?"
Chen Fan glanced at her. "I have a girlfriend."
"I don't mind."
Fang Ling smiled, totally serious.
"Dating is no big deal. So many college couples love each other intensely while they're in school, but break up as soon as they graduate."
Chen Fan shook his head. "I'm different. My relationship with my girlfriend is great."
Fang Ling continued smiling.
"A good relationship doesn't mean you're right for each other."
"You started your own business right after entering university, and in just two short years, you've achieved such great success. You're one in a million, not just at Yunhai University, but among all universities nationwide."
It seemed that Fang Ling wasn't flattering Chen Fan, but was sincerely analyzing things for him.
"You're a smart person, you should understand how difficult it is to start a business without any background or support."
"And I also believe you must have realized by now that the problems you'll face will only get bigger and bigger."
"What you need now is not a gentle, obedient, and clingy girlfriend, but a reliable ally and powerful support."
Fang Ling looked at Chen Fan. "I've looked into your girlfriend's background. She's just an ordinary university student. Apart from being a good student, her family has a small company in Luocheng."
"But they can't help you at all, and in my opinion, their little company is insignificant."
"Being with her, apart from having a beautiful girlfriend and a decent campus romance, she doesn't actually provide you any help. In fact, the further you go, the more likely she'll become a burden..."
Fang Ling suddenly smiled. "But I'm different."
"You know my background. The Fang family may not be a noble family in Yunhai, but we definitely have some influence."
"And I'm quite confident in my figure and looks. It wouldn't be embarrassing to bring me out, right?"
"If we're together, it would only benefit your future career and my family, with no downsides."
"Just look at your current business layout, and you'll know you have great ambitions for the future. So you should understand what I'm saying."
As she said this, Fang Ling raised her hand and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, giving Chen Fan a slight smile.
"I know you've offended the Zhao family, and they've been causing you trouble recently."
"If we're together and make our relationship public, the Zhao family's petty tricks would be nothing."
At this point, Fang Ling's face turned slightly red as she stared at Chen Fan, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.
"What do you think? Don't you want to reconsider me?"
Chen Fan looked at Fang Ling, raised his hand to gently put down his chopsticks, and his tone became serious for the first time.
"First of all, I'm grateful that you think highly of me and appreciate the help you've given me recently."
"But... my relationship with my girlfriend will never change."
"In this life, Chen Fan will only love her, and I will marry her. So..."
"Senior Sister, please don't say such things again in the future, otherwise, I will really get angry."
Fang Ling stared at Chen Fan in silence for several seconds before finally letting out a light sigh.
"Alright. I didn't expect you to be such a romantic."
Just as Chen Fan was about to relax, Fang Ling smiled again.
"But it's okay, I'll wait. Until the day you accept me again."
Chen Fan suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"Why bother? With your background and looks, what kind of boyfriend can't you find? Why do you insist on demeaning yourself by clinging to me?"
But Fang Ling just smiled and shook her head.
"Chen Fan. Do you know what the most important advantage is for a girl?"
Without waiting for Chen Fan to respond, Fang Ling continued on her own.
"It's not being beautiful, or being talented in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting... or being gentle and elegant... it's having good judgment."
"Good judgment means choosing a suitable man for yourself."
Fang Ling gazed at Chen Fan with burning eyes, making no attempt to hide her feelings.
"And you are the choice I've made for myself."
"A done deal, with no regrets."
