CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 448: BECAUSE I WANT TO PURSUE HIM

Young Master Ma, upon learning that Wei Qingxue had divorced, couldn’t wait to propose to her. In his view, now that Wei Qingxue and Lin Fan were divorced, there must be a fracture in their relationship, and this was the perfect opportunity for him to take advantage.

So he took it upon himself to prepare a marriage proposal for Wei Qingxue, thinking it was very romantic and that it would surely move Wei Qingxue.

Unexpectedly, his actions were seen by Wei Qingxue as nothing but ostentatious and abrupt. Wei Qingxue didn’t like it at all and flatly refused Young Master Ma’s courtship.

"Miss Wei doesn’t seem willing, huh?"

"Could it be that Young Master Ma is overestimating his charm?"

"Now that’s awkward!"

The people around began to gossip.

The scene became quite awkward for a moment.

Young Master Ma felt utterly humiliated. As a distinguished son of the Ma family, he couldn’t just lose face like this. No matter what, he had to salvage the situation.

Young Master Ma then pressed towards Wei Qingxue, attempting to forcibly grab her hand, as if holding her hand would make her agree to his proposal.

Wei Qingxue instinctively stepped back, trying to evade Young Master Ma, but the restaurant passage was narrow, leaving her with little room to escape. She was about to be caught by Young Master Ma.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and firmly grasped Young Master Ma’s hand.

"What are you doing?" a cold voice said.

Lin Fan had arrived!

Seeing this, Wei Qingxue let out a sigh of relief, joy rising in her heart. Lin Fan was here, and that made her feel safe at once.

If he had been a moment later, she would have been caught by Young Master Ma.

That was too close!

In her heart, the affection for Lin Fan soared instantly.

It’s really good to have Lin Fan around, always appearing when she needed him.

"Let go of me! How dare you even touch me!"

Young Master Ma shouted. Being held by Lin Fan, his first feeling was one of offense. Who was he? A son of the Ma family, and who was Lin Fan? Just a delivery man. Was he worthy? What face was there left for him?

Besides, Lin Fan was so strong, it wasn’t like grabbing his hand but more like clamping it with an iron grip. His hand felt like it would break.

"What did you say? It’s too noisy in this restaurant; I didn’t hear it clearly," Lin Fan said coldly, not releasing his grip but tightening it instead.

Everyone around sweated; the crowd quieted down to watch the spectacle. It was evident that Lin Fan was doing it on purpose.

"Ah!"

Young Master Ma let out a scream, sweating profusely from the pain.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "That’s more like it. You’ve got a lot of energy to shout. Want to continue?"

Young Master Ma quickly responded, "No, no, Lin Fan, please let me go!"

He was about to cry. If Lin Fan exerted any more pressure, his hand would be useless. A wise man knows when to retreat; he had to concede to get Lin Fan to release him.

Lin Fan really showed no regard for him, this Young Master of the Ma family. Truth be told, Lin Fan had never once cared about him.

Even when flaunting his identity as a Young Master of the Ma family in front of Lin Fan, it was of no use; admitting defeat was the only way.

Seeing Young Master Ma begging for mercy, Lin Fan finally let go. He didn’t mind breaking Young Master Ma’s hand, but there was no need to make a scene too ugly.

Young Master Ma rubbed his wrist, still hurting. Damn, this Lin Fan was simply inhuman; no ordinary person has such a great grip strength!

Lin Fan, didn’t you and Little Sister Qingxue already divorce? What are you still doing here? Do you still intend to pursue Little Sister Qingxue? Give up that idea!" Young Master Ma shouted.

Wei Qingxue said, "Ma Jialiang, stop talking nonsense here. Lin Fan isn’t trying to pursue me."

Young Master Ma was delighted: "Really? That’s great. Wait, Little Sister Qingxue, then why are you having dinner here tonight, and why is Lin Fan here?"

Wei Qingxue said, "I’m just having dinner with Lin Fan."

Young Master Ma was confused: "I don’t understand. If he’s not pursuing you, why are you two eating together?"

He was envious. Even divorced, Lin Fan was dining with Wei Qingxue, yet when he wanted to have a meal with her, she wouldn’t agree.

Wei Qingxue said, "It’s simple, because I’m the one pursuing Lin Fan."

Wei Qingxue blushed a little. It wasn’t something she initially wanted to say in public, but she needed Ma Jialiang to know there was no chance between them.

The people around were stunned. What?

A woman chasing a man?

Miss Wei, a woman as beautiful as a goddess, actually chasing after someone? This Lin Fan, besides being a bit handsome, was clearly just a poor guy. What made him deserving?

Young Master Ma was nearly going insane.

Hearing that Lin Fan wasn’t pursuing Wei Qingxue, he had felt glad. Who would have thought it was Wei Qingxue pursuing Lin Fan!

This was a hundred times worse than Lin Fan pursuing Wei Qingxue.

Wei Qingxue actually liked Lin Fan this much!

Young Master Ma was furious. That Lin Fan, just a damn delivery guy, what right did he have!

He was a proud son of the Ma family. Why would Wei Qingxue rather choose a delivery guy over him!

"Young Master Ma, what happened here?" Just then, a short, stout man in a suit approached, having noticed the commotion, and respectfully asked Young Master Ma, nodding and bowing to him.

Young Master Ma saw him and said, "Manager Niu, just in time. This guy is causing trouble here. Get him out!"

Manager Niu looked over Lin Fan, dressed in market-stall goods, clearly a poor man, and felt a bit contemptuous, but as the manager of this restaurant, he was trained not to show it too much.

"Young Master Ma, I’m truly sorry. It’s our oversight." Manager Niu quickly apologized to Young Master Ma.

Then, Manager Niu turned to Lin Fan, smiling, and said, "Sir, this restaurant is a quiet dining place for all. Please don’t cause trouble here and leave."

Lin Fan said, "Just because he says I’m causing trouble, does that mean I am? As a manager, without even clarifying the situation, you want to kick me out; what’s the reason?"

His retort left Manager Niu uncomfortable. As the manager, he saw himself as above people like Lin Fan.

Lin Fan wasn’t qualified to confront him.

Manager Niu stared at Lin Fan, expression darkening, and scolded, "Boy, since you don’t appreciate my kindness, I won’t be polite. You’re not allowed in this restaurant; please leave immediately!"

Lin Fan chuckled, "That’s strange. You open the door to do business, everyone can enter. Why can’t I?"

Manager Niu said, "Because we’re a high-class restaurant. Didn’t you see the notice at the entrance? Proper attire is required to enter. Just look at what you’re wearing; it doesn’t meet our standards. Besides, can you even afford it?"

Hearing this, the people around couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed, Lin Fan’s attire screamed poverty; he likely couldn’t afford it at all.
