Chapter 445: Chapter 445: After the Third Round of Drinks_1

After the brief interlude, the atmosphere in the private dining room became even more cheerful and harmonious.

The waiter began to serve dishes and pour drinks.

“Daddy, Tongtong really wants a glass of Coke,” Tongtong said, looking up at Xu Fan with big, blinking eyes.

“Okay, Daddy will pour it for you right now.” Xu Fan reached for the Coke, but Xu Yixue’s beautiful eyes widened with a glare and she said, “Tongtong, no drinking Coke. You promised Mommy.”

Xu Fan’s hand paused in mid-air, glancing at Xu Yixue, who looked a bit fierce. He was somewhat infatuated.

“Um… Tongtong understands,” Tongtong said dejectedly, her head bowed and her voice trailing off.

It was clear that the little one was very reluctant.

Only then did Xu Yixue show a hint of a smile, then she looked at Xu Fan, “What kind of father are you, giving whatever the little guy wants? Tongtong will become spoiled and arrogant, even unreasonable.”

Xu Fan touched his nose and shook his head in rebuttal, “If I don’t spoil my daughter, who will? Even if she becomes spoiled, it doesn’t matter. With me around, no one dares to bully her. Tongtong, if you want to drink, just drink. Daddy will pour for you.”

Tongtong immediately revived, jumping up excitedly and praising, “Daddy is awesome, Tongtong loves Daddy to death, mwah!”

After kissing Xu Fan, Tongtong happily held her paper cup and squinted her eyes as she sipped the Coke little by little.

Xu Yixue was so aggravated that her chest trembled slightly, and she gave Xu Fan a deep, discontented look, then gently pinched his thigh.

Xu Fan’s heartbeat sped up, feeling that his relationship with Xu Yixue had advanced a step further, with a bit of flirtatious teasing.

For him, whether it was his wife or daughter, Xu Fan held the idea of giving them all the best things in life.

Therefore, when it came to Tongtong’s upbringing, differences with Xu Yixue emerged. Xu Fan supported Tongtong wholeheartedly as long as she was happy and liked it, while Xu Yixue was strict with Tongtong’s eating habits, lifestyle, even personal hygiene—a more common form of maternal love, also for the child’s own good.

This situation didn’t have a right or wrong side. They just needed to be more mindful in life, seeking common ground while preserving differences, to create a beautiful life together.

The others, witnessing this scene of a doting father and strict mother, couldn’t help but smile. This side of Xu Fan added a touch of everyday warmth and made him seem less aloof and domineering.

Lin Shutong watched the scene with a sense of melancholy, feeling the sourness in her heart. Ultimately, her affections had been misplaced.

Lin Yaoshi also sighed internally. Xu Fan was such an extraordinary man, and it seemed his granddaughter had no chance.

There was no helping it. Xu Fan was too outstanding, and Lin Shutong was doomed to unrequited love that would never be reciprocated.

Soon, all the dishes were served, looking bright and enticing, with an aroma that whetted everyone’s appetite, and the taste was exceptional, prompting the group to eagerly dive in.

While discussing important matters was necessary, there was no hurry at this moment; besides, Tongtong was hungry too.

For Xu Fan, letting Tongtong suffer any grievance was out of the question, let alone going hungry.

Everyone chatted over the meal, and the atmosphere was indeed congenial.

After everyone had eaten to about seventy or eighty percent full, Tongtong now burped contentedly, her face beaming as she patted her round belly.

Xu Fan lovingly wiped her mouth with a napkin, then lifted his wine glass, looked at the crowd with a smile, and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen…”

At his words, everyone quickly laid down their chopsticks and looked at Xu Fan with anticipation.

Gathering so many people for dinner tonight surely wasn’t just to chat idly.

Xu Fan began, “First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for giving me, Xu Fan, this honor and joining me for dinner.”

“Oh come on, no need to be so formal, my friend.”

“Brother Xu, please don’t say that.”

“Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? My son is a wastrel, yet you’ve taken him as your apprentice. I’m truly grateful.”

“…”

A group of people busily responded.

Xu Fan waved his hand, “I’m not just being polite, I truly appreciate everyone gracing this occasion. Come, let me toast to all of you.”

With that, Xu Fan tipped his head back and drained his cup.

Naturally, everyone returned the gesture with equal respect, those drinking alcohol raised their glasses, and those with soft drinks picked up their beverages, all downing their drinks in one go.

Seeing this, Tongtong naturally wouldn’t miss the chance and also clamored, “Dad, I want coconut juice.”

This time, Xu Yixue didn’t stop him, instead she proactively inserted a straw into the bottle and handed it to Tongtong.

“Thank you, Mom.” Tongtong happily started sipping, and Xu Fan watched with a smile.

“Now, I plan to toast again,” Xu Fan said, his eyes bright and full of spirited resolution, “Regarding the affair of Jun Tian Grand Hotel, everyone here supported and helped without regard for the consequences. This kindness, Xu will not overlook, it’s etched in my heart. So, I’ll drink to your honor first!”

Seeing Xu Fan down another full cup, everybody naturally followed suit and drank another.

Then Xu Fan lifted his third cup, laughing heartily, “As for this third cup, let’s drink to fate.”

“Good, meeting each other really wasn’t easy.”

“No problem, drinking is something I’m good at.”

“Let’s clink our cups together.”

Everyone stretched their cups into the air, clinked them together, and then brought them to their lips, draining them again.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the private room changed, becoming even more enthusiastic.

Lu Chennong slowly set down his cup, his face flushed and his eyes slightly hazy, “Xu little brother, we’ve eaten and drunk our fill, if you have anything else up your sleeve, better spit it out quick, otherwise I’ll start snoring soon.”

He couldn’t help it, his tolerance for alcohol was average, and feeling slightly tipsy, it was easy to get sleepy in such situations. So he urged Xu Fan to get on with the business at hand, otherwise, he was going to nod off.

Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but laugh.

In fact, everyone had guessed that Xu Fan wouldn’t have asked them to meet for a meal without good reason. At their level of experience, they had seen much of the world, and through simple observations, they could grasp the nuances of human behavior and the logic of events.

Given Xu Fan’s extraordinary background and the harmonious atmosphere of the gathering, even bringing wives, girlfriends, and children along, it seemed unlikely the matter was troublesome. Could it be that he was planning a wedding? But for that, sending an invitation would suffice.

“Ah, Brother Lu, you still drink knowing your tolerance isn’t good, which makes me feel a bit guilty,” Xu Fan teased. “Alright, then let me take the opportunity, before Brother Lu visits Lord Zhou in his dreams, to discuss a matter with everyone.”

Xu Fan handed Tongtong over to Xu Yixue, stood up, and took out a beauty cream, Nourishing Cream, and Youth Preserving Pill from his pocket, lining them up on the table before introducing them with a smile, “These are three skincare products, freshly made by me today. As for their effects…”

After Xu Fan’s introduction, the crowd’s gaze had already changed, all were holding their breath and intently observing the three skincare products, their minds buzzing with amazement.

It was almost inconceivable that these three products could have such miraculous effects, with the beauty cream claiming to clear acne and spots in three minutes, and remove scars in ten?

Even though it seemed unbelievable, not a single person there voiced any doubt. In their eyes, Xu Fan himself was a miracle, possessing all sorts of marvelous abilities.

Xu Fan appeared nonchalant in the face of everyone’s reactions, remaining cool and collected.

He was well aware of the effects of the three skincare products and knew that once they hit the market, they would create a profound impact on the world.

Of course, it was one thing for everyone to believe him, but seeing was believing, and it was important to make sure themselves.

Otherwise, it was all just empty talk and show without substance.

So Xu Fan scanned the crowd and quickly found his target. Waving his hand, he said with a smile, “Come on, here’s your chance to perform.”

“Now, I’m going to demonstrate the effects of these products for you, and let’s see if they are as I described.”
