Chapter 3
It was inconvenient for officials to personally appear for these sorts of matters, so there was no other choice but to send representatives to discuss in private. Zhong Zhen Dong had strongholds and connections located throughout the entire world. He was also fluent in 6 languages, one of which was Turkish. Having collaborated with Zhong Zhen Dong for so long, Lin Yu Fan knew that he was resourceful and capable of finding a way to accomplish this task.
“Rather than allowing the Americans to make a profit, it would be better to commission you instead. We can save money and it would be mutually beneficial.”
“You have this much faith that I have a solution?”
“The commission can be increased.”
Zhong Zhen Dong’s facial expression didn’t change. After drinking a gla.s.s of alcohol, he gave a weak smile. “I need to think it over.”
“It’s enough to hear you say those words, I’ll be waiting.”
Next, Lin Yu Fan discussed another few cla.s.sified secrets, and handed over several sealed files to Zhong Zhen Dong.
“I’ll call you later.” With the conversation having ended, Zhong Zhen Dong stood up, planning to leave. Before he walked away, he turned back to look at Lin Yu Fan and gave him a smile. “You’re not going to escort me out?”
Lin Yu Fan stared blankly. “Escort you?”
Zhong Zhen Dong bent over, moving his face next to Lin Yu Fan’s ear. This ambiguous action made it look like they were a pair of lovers, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
“Did you not notice the infatuated gazes of those people? You wouldn’t want me to have any mishaps during my stay in Taiwan right?” As he said this, he wrapped his arm around Yu Fan’s neck. It appeared as if, in other people’s minds, that they were definitely a pair of lovers, pa.s.sionately in love.
Lin Yu Fan really wanted to give a big look of disdain. He understood very well what kind of person Zhong Zhen Dong was. This man came from a family of U.S. marines, and had spent some time with intelligence agencies. Yet, he wanted Yu Fan to accompany him out. This was clearly because Zhen Dong wanted to lead him astray, and therefore deliberately acted intimate with him in front of other people. Yu Fan thought exasperatedly, haven’t you played around enough?
Lin Yu Fan knew that Zhong Zhen Dong merely liked to seek people for amus.e.m.e.nt. Forget it, as long as he’s happy, it’s fine to sacrifice a little bit this one time. Yu Fan compromised that everything would be tolerable, just as long as he didn’t run into anyone who recognized him.
Usually, people trusted that if two people exited together, it was unlikely that there would be someone stupid enough to come be a light bulb.
“当电灯泡” I find this phrase funny; it means to be a 3rd wheelヾ（*⌒ヮ⌒*）ゞ
Exiting the bar, Lin Yu Fan considered the secret meeting today to have ended successfully, and the next phase was to wait for the news.
Having only walked a few steps away from the bar, there was actually a person who tactlessly stood in front of them, blocking the way.
“I’m sorry, can this Mister please stop.”
The person obstructing the road was the woman from the bar. She stepped forward to strike up a conversation, making Lin Yu Fan’s complexion sink. However, Zhong Zhen Dong’s eyes lit up because the one that stopped them, was that little white rabbit.
“What’s the matter Miss?” Zhong Zhen Dong smiled and courteously asked.
Looking closer, he discovered that not only was this woman’s skin clean, but the quality of her skin was extremely good too; supple, soft and s.h.i.+ning. There were no pores to be seen, and her clear, big eyes possessed a fresh and innocent aloofness. It seemed like even her soul was clean, without a trace of impurity. Her body radiated kindness, giving others the impression that she was like a soft little bunny. He felt an itch in his heart, and he couldn’t help having wicked thoughts of wanting to defile her all of a sudden.
Ah, but what a pity… It was a woman who liked other women…
Tang Xin Lian shyly asked, “Please excuse me, I have a matter to discuss with you. Is it possible to give me a little bit of your time to chat for a while?”
The little white rabbit wanted to have a chat with him? Zhong Zhen Dong was very curious as to why she sought him out.
“We’re very busy, what concerns do you have?” Lin Yu Fan’s att.i.tude was cold as he stiffly asked.
The little white rabbit, frightened by Lin Yu Fan, recoiled slightly. Zhong Zhen Dong immediately tried to smooth things over.
“Don’t scare the lady, I have time. How about we go to the Tea House across the street to chat?” Zhong Zhen Dong suggested, with a gentle smile on his face. Subsequently, he saw that the little white rabbit’s eyes shone with hope.
All three people sat down inside the tea shop. Lin Yu Fan saw that Zhong Zhen Dong was very interested in this woman, so he had silently followed after.
With the bright lights from the tea shop, Zhong Zhen Dong could attentively appreciate the little white rabbit in front of him. It was only because this little white rabbit was very visually attractive, and was also his type, that he agreed to sit and chat with her.
He was simply curious at first, but after the little white rabbit told him about her intentions, he was surprised.
“What? You want to hire me to be your fake husband?”
“Yes.” The little white rabbit nodded her head in embarra.s.sment.
“You… Are you messing with me?”
“No, I’m serious. This is my employment contract, please look it over.” After she finished speaking, the little white rabbit hastily pulled out a doc.u.ment from her bag and handed it to him. The paper listed a series of employment conditions.
Zhong Zhen Dong quickly skimmed the contents. There weren’t many demands, only 5 simple tasks. The general idea was that it included room and board, but it didn’t include sleeping together. Additionally, there was even a salary. As long as he stayed at her house, letting people think that he was her husband, then everything was fine.
Zhong Zhen Dong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t expect that after having a conversation with the little white rabbit, they would talk about such a ridiculous matter.
“Let me guess, you sought me to be your fake husband in order to deal with your family and friends right? You don’t want them to know that you’re gay, and you also don’t want to get married, so this was your solution?”
Coming across her at the bar, Zhong Zhen Dong naturally made this conjecture. However, the little white rabbit actually shook her head.
“No, it’s not like that. The reason I asked you to be my fake husband is to prevent hara.s.sment from other men.”
“Oh, so it was like that.” That reason was very understandable. Since this little white rabbit only liked women, it was logical that she disliked being pursued by men. It was really such a pity. If she wasn’t a lesbian, he would also, without a doubt, hara.s.s her too.
“Why did you pick me?” He inquisitively asked.
