CHAPTER 736: CHAPTER 736: CHENG XIAOLU’S DESPAIR

Yesterday, Cheng Xiaolu had already met Lily, but she didn’t know what Lily’s relationship with Lin Fan was. After all, Lily was a police officer, and in that situation yesterday, she didn’t have time to think about it.

Now that Lily suddenly appeared, she realized that the relationship between Lin Fan and Lily seemed to be not simple.

She had to admit, Lily was an unparalleled beauty. Whether it was her figure or appearance, she was definitely top class. In front of Lily, Cheng Xiaolu felt like an unfinished product that hadn’t fully developed.

A sense of inferiority surged within her.

Lily walked over at this moment and sat down opposite Lin Fan. She looked at Cheng Xiaolu and said, "I’m Lily. I met you yesterday. What’s your name?"

Her aura overshadowed Cheng Xiaolu completely.

Cheng Xiaolu felt inexplicably nervous: "Officer, my name is Cheng Xiaolu, I’m Shanshan’s best friend."

Lily laughed and said, "Don’t call me Officer, I’m on vacation today. I’m older than you, just call me Sister Lily."

"Okay, Sister Lily," Cheng Xiaolu responded, feeling a bit frustrated by her inner timidness.

Lin Fan observed this and smiled, "Just now, while chatting with Little Lu, she asked if I had a girlfriend. I was just about to tell her you’re my girlfriend."

What?

Cheng Xiaolu’s eyes widened in surprise. What, Lily is Lin Fan’s girlfriend?

Lily’s face flushed red, her heart sweetened. Lin Fan actually told others she was his girlfriend. Could it be true that Lin Fan really considered her his girlfriend? It was quite a surprise.

"Sister Lily, when did you two start dating?" Cheng Xiaolu couldn’t help but ask. She felt like crying inside, thinking she might win over Lin Fan today, only to find out he already had a girlfriend, and such a beautiful one at that.

Lily said, "Well... I’ll let Lin Fan explain."

Cheng Xiaolu noticed Lily’s slightly shy demeanor, which she never expected from the gallant Officer Luo. It’s precisely the demeanor of a girl in sweet love. You could see that Lily really liked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "How should I put it, my relationship with Lily isn’t real. Lily asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend to deal with a family-arranged date. Lily, am I right?"

Lily sighed and said, "Yes, that’s right."

She sighed because she wished the pretense would become real.

What?

Cheng Xiaolu was stunned; it was just pretend?

Even if it was fake, she could already tell that Lily truly liked Lin Fan. This genuine affection was evident in the subtleties of her expressions and couldn’t be faked.

Lin Fan surely knew that Lily genuinely liked him, right!

However, he didn’t really date Lily.

Cheng Xiaolu seemed to understand the purpose behind Lin Fan mentioning this. If he didn’t even take in a peerless beauty like Lily, how could he be interested in Cheng Xiaolu?

Cheng Xiaolu suddenly felt insulted, but this insult left her without any temper because she herself felt inferior to Lily.

So, the question arises, why does Lin Fan ignore such an excellent beauty like Lily?

"Little Fan, what a coincidence, you’re here for a meal?"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice said.

Everyone turned their heads to see Liu Mengjie walking over.

The principal!

Cheng Xiaolu suddenly became nervous, instinctively sitting upright. Oh my, she never expected to run into the principal while out for a meal.

Wait!

Why is the principal addressing Lin Fan so affectionately?

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Yes, I was planning to eat with Shanshan. Sister Mengjie, what a coincidence, why not join us?"

Lily was invited to dine, but Liu Mengjie’s appearance was an unexpected encounter, and Lin Fan casually extended the invitation.

"I have a friend coming over for a meal to discuss something..." Liu Mengjie said, showing a hint of hesitation. Clearly, she wanted to join the meal.

Lin Fan said, "Alright, since Sister Mengjie has plans..."

But Liu Mengjie had already made up her mind, interrupting Lin Fan and saying, "It’s okay. I’ll call my friend. It’s nothing urgent; we can discuss it another day."

So she really took out her phone, made a call to her friend, and rescheduled.

She then sat down at the table as well.

Cheng Xiaolu was completely stiff, damn, the principal actually postponed her previously arranged meal to dine with Lin Fan. Even a fool could see the principal was interested in Lin Fan...

Lin Fan introduced them, "Sister Mengjie is the principal of Yun City Music Academy. Sister Mengjie, let me introduce you, Officer Luo, and this is Cheng Xiaolu."

Liu Mengjie looked at Lily, somewhat curious as to why this female officer was here and what her relationship with Little Fan was.

"Hello, Officer Luo."

"Hello."

The two women exchanged pleasantries, both trying to guess each other’s relationship with Lin Fan.

Liu Mengjie then looked at Cheng Xiaolu, "I think I’ve seen you before, are you..."

Cheng Xiaolu said, "Principal, I’m a student at Yun City Music Academy."

Liu Mengjie smiled, "No wonder you look familiar. Do you also know Little Fan?"

Cheng Xiaolu said, "Yes, I’m best friends with Shanshan."

Liu Mengjie said, "I see."

Cheng Xiaolu felt distressed. It seemed there was another rival in love, and this time the rival was her principal, who was also a stunning beauty with the elegance and intellect of a mature woman. In front of the principal, Cheng Xiaolu felt like an immature little girl.

Comparing oneself to others could be infuriating.

Cheng Xiaolu’s sense of frustration grew again.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Cheng Xiaolu found an excuse and quickly slipped away. Sitting there, facing two stunning beauties, the pressure was immense.

When she reached the entrance.

She was met by two stunning beauties, especially one who was undoubtedly a 9 out of 10 beauty.

This was too much. Why were so many beauties in this restaurant today? Compared to them, Cheng Xiaolu felt like an ugly duckling.

"Hello, I have a reservation with Mr. Lin Fan for lunch. Is Lin Fan inside?"

She heard the 9 out of 10 beauty speak politely to the welcoming staff.

What?

Cheng Xiaolu was taken aback. These two stunning beauties were also here for Lin Fan?

Could it be? Was it just a coincidence with the name?

The welcoming staff said, "Are you Miss Feng?"

The 9 out of 10 beauty replied, "Yes."

The staff member said, "Mr. Lin left a message when entering. He’s at table 10. Let me take you there."

Table 10!

Cheng Xiaolu was shocked. Wasn’t that their table? These two stunning beauties were indeed looking for Lin Fan!

Cheng Xiaolu immediately felt a sense of despair.

Despair filled her heart.

Everything now made sense. Why Lin Fan ignored Lily, because besides Lily, there was Liu Mengjie and these two stunning beauties, especially this Miss Feng...

She had even heard Lin Shanshan mention that Lin Fan had a first love who was also a top-notch beauty.

The reason Lin Fan didn’t choose Lily was because he was surrounded by so many stunning beauties that he couldn’t make up his mind...

Cheng Xiaolu couldn’t help but feel hopeless. With so many stunning beauties around Lin Fan, how could she possibly stand a chance?
