Chapter 409: Come With Us
As soon as the song ended, in just a few minutes, the stage was piled high with flowers sent by customers.
Most were from female customers.
And after sending flowers, some of the more outgoing and bold female customers looked at Chen Fan with fiery eyes, openly flirting with him.
Chen Fan ignored it all, simply bending down to pick up a red rose from the ground before stepping off the stage.
Walking up to Su Ruochu, he smiled and handed her the red rose.
"How was it? Did you like it?"
Su Ruochu was a bit embarrassed, but still smiled as she spoke.
"I liked it. I loved the flower, and the song even more."
"What's the name of that song? It was really beautiful."
Chen Fan grinned: "Past lives and present, meeting you is my greatest fortune. How about calling this song 《A Little Happiness》?"
"Tsk tsk, I need to write that down. It might come in handy later," Guo Shuai teased from the side, pretending to look for a notebook.
Miaomiao glared at him, "What for? Are you planning to pursue other girls in the future?"
Guo Shuai hurriedly explained, "Don't accuse me wrongly, I'm planning to use it on you."
Miaomiao pouted, "I'd be a fool to believe you."
Then she turned to Chen Fan with an excited face.
"Brother Chen, you sang so well. I've performed here so many times, but I've never received this many flowers."
Hearing this, Guo Shuai got excited.
"Hey, what did I tell you earlier? Just during the time you were singing that one song, at least 100 flowers were sold."
"Now that's a guaranteed profitable business."
"Why should I sell alcohol anymore? I'll just have you sing here every day, and I'll switch to running a flower shop instead."
Miaomiao pinched Guo Shuai and glared at him: "Can't you be serious for once?"
Then she eagerly turned to Chen Fan.
"Brother Chen, how come I've never heard this song before? Is it a new song?"
Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "You could say it's new."
"What do you mean 'could say'? Who's the singer? I'll see if I can buy the tape later."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, while Guo Shuai looked at his girlfriend helplessly.
"Are you dense? Can't you tell? This song was written by Brother Fan himself."
Miaomiao's eyes widened: "Ah? Really?"
Chen Fan glanced at Su Ruochu and nodded with a smile.
"Yes. I wrote it myself."
"Wow, Brother Chen, you're really amazing!"
Miaomiao's face was full of admiration.
"Ahem, what are you doing? Your boyfriend is still right here."
Miaomiao's face immediately turned red, and she glared fiercely at Guo Shuai.
"What nonsense are you saying?"
Chen Fan smiled as he watched the young couple bicker, then looked at Su Ruochu beside him, who was staring at him intently.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
After his rebirth, although Chen Fan had been working hard to start a business and make money, he had always been very cautious and low-key.
Whether it was keeping a low profile at school, concealing the secret of his business from most people, or ensuring that his money-making or songwriting activities were well-founded and could withstand scrutiny.
The reason was simple: rebirth was Chen Fan's biggest secret and his greatest asset.
He absolutely could not let others know about this secret.
An innocent man with a precious jade invites trouble, he understood this principle well.
The reason he had been so cautious in his previous life was that he feared that once he showed any signs, he might fall under the gaze of certain people. At that time, before Chen Fan could protect himself, there would likely be only one outcome.
He would either be captured or locked up. In any case, the end of his life wouldn't be pleasant.
It was precisely for this reason that Chen Fan had been extremely careful from the beginning, preferring that as few people as possible knew about whatever he was doing.
However, tonight, Chen Fan completely changed.
Firstly, his business was gradually taking off, and he had gathered a group of loyal forces around him, giving him some ability to protect himself.
Secondly, it was because of Su Ruochu.
In this life, Su Ruochu was the person Chen Fan cared about the most.
Living life again, his only goal was to make Su Ruochu happy and content. As for the rest, why bother with so much?
Just like earlier, singing a new, unreleased song in front of so many people, Chen Fan no longer cared.
Because Su Ruochu's current joy and happiness made Chen Fan feel that everything he did was worth it.
Even if it might bring trouble in the future, or even put him at odds with the world around him.
So what?
For Ruochu, he would overturn this world if needed!
At this point, Chen Fan had another revelation about his attitude towards life.
Taking advantage of Su Ruochu's good mood, everyone stayed at the bar until nearly 10 pm before calling it a night.
Guo Shuai, who had drunk quite a bit, was clamoring to continue to the next venue, suggesting they all go sing at a KTV.
Chen Fan, understanding Su Ruochu's personality, smiled and patted Guo Shuai's shoulder.
"Let's not. It's getting late, you two should head back and rest."
"No need to see us off. We'll head back first."
Guo Shuai could only reluctantly give up.
"Brother Fan, when are you two going home? Let's go together then."
Chen Fan was a bit surprised. Since getting out of prison, Guo Shuai had always felt too ashamed to face his parents and consistently refused to go home.
"How come? Have you come around?"
Guo Shuai scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
"I was young and reckless before, acting like a fool without understanding."
"Now, following Brother Fan, I've got a bit of a career. More importantly, I want to take Miaomiao home to meet my parents."
Chen Fan smiled, "Congratulations, you've finally come to your senses."
"But I probably can't go back for a couple of days. Ruochu, though, needs to head home in a couple of days."
"It works out perfectly. You can drive her home when the time comes."
Guo Shuai laughed heartily, taking on the responsibility.
"No problem. Leave it to me."
"Alright. Let me know a day in advance when you're heading home."
Waving goodbye to Guo Shuai and Miaomiao, Chen Fan and Su Ruochu didn't take a cab, but instead strolled slowly along the road, sightseeing as they walked.
Su Ruochu held onto Chen Fan's arm, looking completely content.
"Did you enjoy tonight?"
"Mm. I really enjoyed it."
Chen Fan smiled and gently tapped her upturned nose.
"Look how happy you are, so easily satisfied."
"Yes, I am satisfied!" Su Ruochu said with a grin, holding onto Chen Fan's arm and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Chen Fan."
"Hmm?"
"Why do I feel like you're becoming more and more mysterious?"
Chen Fan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"It's just... it's like I've never really known you."
"My impression of you is still that shy, honest boy from high school who would blush when talking to girls."
"But now, you're so good at business, you've made so much money, and you have a bunch of employees under you. And now it turns out you can even write songs and sing..."
"It feels like you can do anything, like you're omnipotent."
Su Ruochu's tone became a bit low.
"You're becoming more and more excellent, more and more successful. I always feel that one day I might... not be good enough for you."
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment and stopped walking, grabbing Su Ruochu's shoulders with both hands.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Do you know why I'm working so hard? It's to be worthy of you."
"You chose me when I had nothing. Do you know how unattainable a beautiful flower like you seemed in high school?"
"But you actually chose to be planted in this pile of smelly manure..."
"If I don't work hard, how can I prove to others that your judgment was right?"
Su Ruochu burst into laughter at Chen Fan's words.
"Don't say such things. You're not smelly manure..."
As they were talking, a car drove up beside them and stopped in front of the couple.
The car door opened, and two men got out and approached Chen Fan.
"Are you Chen Fan?"
"Who are you?" Chen Fan asked warily.
One of them showed his credentials.
"We're from the Chengxi Branch. There's something we need you to come with us for."
"Please cooperate!"
