Lin Fan didn't know when Gu Qingcheng closed the door. Her last cold words kept echoing in his head, leaving a bitter smile on his face; all he could do was smile bitterly!

Although Lin Fan had experienced beauties across the five continents and seven seas, this was his first time using force. Yet, there was no sense of achievement in his heart, only guilt, wishing he could slap himself a few times!

"Let her cool down first, I'll find her and talk tomorrow." Lin Fan thought with a bitter smile.

Then, Lin Fan returned to his room. After a night of indulgence, there was still a lingering smell on him. After taking a shower, he lit a cigarette and puffed slowly, contemplating for a moment before picking up the phone to call Deke!

Beep beep beep~

Following the urgent tone, Deke's voice immediately came: "Good morning, Tyrant."

Lin Fan instinctively glanced out the window. The sky was slightly bright; it was already past five in the morning. He didn't realize so much time had passed.

"Good morning, Deke." Lin Fan replied politely, as is the custom among Europeans.

"Is there something you need by calling me this early?" Deke asked curiously.

"Did you send out the invitations I asked you to prepare?" Lin Fan inquired.

"Rest assured, Tyrant. I, Deke, never break a promise. By eight this morning, my people will personally deliver the invitation to Miss Gu Qingcheng." Deke assured.

"That's good." Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and finally made a decision. He said to Deke, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Oh? Tyrant, this is the first time you've asked me for something. Tell me, what do you need? I will do my best to help you." Deke responded with a straightforward laugh.

"My friend wants to expand her business in Paris. During the consortium banquet, can you help introduce her to some business magnates? Besides, your Child Clan has been based in Paris for so long; surely you have many financial ventures under your belt. If possible, give her a business opportunity." Lin Fan spoke sincerely.

However, after hearing Lin Fan's words, Deke didn't immediately respond but instead fell silent.

After about five minutes, Deke asked, "Is the person you want me to help Miss Gu Qingcheng?"

"Yes!" Lin Fan nodded affirmatively.

"Tyrant, you know I'm a businessman, and businessmen never do losing trades. I can help you with this, but... the private condition you promised to help find the whereabouts of the vampire must be written off, agreed?" Deke laid out his businesslike stance.

Lin Fan gave a bitter smile. He had anticipated all of this a long time ago and had already weighed the options in his heart.

Deke's private condition was indeed important to Lin Fan, for with Deke's power, he could clear many obstacles for Lin Fan. But compared to Gu Qingcheng... Lin Fan made his decision!

"Alright! I agree with you!"

Lin Fan said decisively.

"Alright! I will definitely get this done for you!" Deke promised.

Afterwards, the two hung up the phone simultaneously. Lin Fan extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray. Recalling the madness of last night, he didn't know whether to rejoice that he had conquered Yanjing's number one lady or to cry out in despair!

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more confused he got, so he decided to sleep a good night's sleep and wait until Gu Qingcheng had calmed down before addressing it.

At eight in the morning, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes. After having a wake-up cigarette and washing up, he opened the door and went out, arriving at Gu Qingcheng's door.

Knock knock knock~

Lin Fan knocked on Gu Qingcheng's door.

Unfortunately... there was no response from the door.

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly and quickly put his ear to the door to listen. With his excellent hearing, he could hear the door was exceptionally quiet, with not a single sound.

"Could it be... this chick went back home? Or couldn't think straight and did something foolish?"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's expression suddenly became serious. If anything really happened to Gu Qingcheng, Lin Fan might never forgive himself for the rest of his life. Just as he was about to break in, a hotel staff member happened to walk over, looking surprised at Lin Fan's actions.

"Sir, is there anything you need?" the staff member hurriedly asked.

"Where did the young lady in this room go?" Lin Fan hurriedly asked.

"Oh... are you talking about Miss Gu? She just went downstairs and is having breakfast with a friend." the staff member smiled and said.

"A friend?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow in surprise. As far as Lin Fan knew, Gu Qingcheng only had Kreit as a friend in Paris. Could it be that guy came looking for Gu Qingcheng again?

After learning from Gu Qingcheng that Kreit had bad intentions, Lin Fan's nerves immediately became tense. He rushed into the elevator and went to the downstairs restaurant. As expected, Gu Qingcheng and the gentlemanly Kreit in a white tailcoat were sitting by the window, chatting and laughing over breakfast.

Though Lin Fan and Gu Qingcheng hadn't established a relationship, they shared a moment. Seeing her with another man, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy!

"Hello! Beauty Gu, good morning!"

Lin Fan walked over with a cheerful smile, immediately sitting across from Gu Qingcheng and taking a big sip of milk from the table!

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingcheng's face immediately darkened, and she turned her head away. Kreit frowned, a hint of gloom in his eyes.

"That's my milk!" Kreit said sternly.

"What? Your milk? Damn! Kreit young master, since when did you have milk? Isn't that something only women have?" Lin Fan looked at Kreit's chest with bewilderment.

"Kid, do you know what you're saying?" Kreit said indifferently.

"Haha! Kreit young master, don't be mad. Just joking to lighten the mood!"

Lin Fan shrugged nonchalantly and placed the cup of milk he had sipped back in front of Kreit, making a gesture to invite him to drink it. He laughed, "Kreit young master, go ahead and drink. This milk is good; if left too long, it'll spoil!"

Insult! A naked insult!

For someone like Kreit, drinking someone else's leftover milk was indeed a humiliating insult. A flash of cold intent quickly flickered in his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan, with his hand clenching into a fist under the table.

However, Lin Fan chose to ignore Kreit's anger. Such a character didn't interest Lin Fan at all. He turned around, snapped his fingers for the waiter, and ordered a delicious breakfast in fluent French.

"Can't you eat somewhere else?" Gu Qingcheng said coldly, staring at Lin Fan.

"No problem! If you don't want to see me, you can choose to close your eyes or turn away. Besides... I don't think I'm that ugly, right? Not to the point where seeing me would ruin your appetite!" Lin Fan chuckled narcissistically.

Gu Qingcheng opened her mouth, wanting to tell Lin Fan to leave, but she couldn't muster the courage to say it.

Seeing this, a small smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth. It seemed this girl didn't hold that much of a grudge against him after all; their relationship still had room for reconciliation!

Clap clap clap~

At this moment, the sound of dress shoes striking the floor echoed clearly.

A group of well-dressed, high-class men suddenly appeared in the restaurant, immediately attracting everyone's attention as they walked toward Lin Fan. The middle-aged man leading them was none other than Deke's personal butler, Old Paul!
