Chapter 60 It’s time for us to go
"No way? Can someone... faint?" Lin Fan looked down and saw a large wet spot on the bed sheet.
He carefully checked Zhao Ziqing's condition and confirmed that she had fainted due to sudden relaxation caused by overstimulation, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come, let me kiss you." Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ziqing's delicate face, which was as delicate as a petal, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her. "After all, she is my fiancée, so a kiss is only natural... According to Old Zhao, we should have slept in the same bed a long time ago."
After two or three minutes, Zhao Ziqing gradually woke up and felt relaxed all over.
"Okay, go take a shower. I'll wait for you outside." Without waiting for Zhao Ziqing to react, Lin Fan turned and left the room.
Zhao Ziqing watched Lin Fan's departing back, recalling her own appearance just now. Her cheeks felt slightly hot, and deep down, a wave of emotions surged. At that moment, her mind was filled with his image.
In the living room, Lin Fan lit a cigarette, his thoughts racing.
"Fortunately, this is a luxury suite. It's really torturous that I can only watch but not eat." Lin Fan complained as he turned on the TV, but his eyes kept glancing towards the master bedroom.
Immersed in fantasy, imagining Zhao Ziqing walking out, hooking her fingers around his, and sweetly calling him "dear brother", he would definitely pounce on her without hesitation.
However, fantasy is fantasy after all, and reality is always cruel. With Zhao Ziqing's personality, she would never do such a thing.
"You're so stingy. I gave you jadeite worth 200 million yuan. You should at least show some appreciation, right? This money is enough to make any female star's clothes disappear in an instant." Lin Fan muttered, but if Zhao Ziqing could really be moved by money, then she would not be the goddess in his heart.
Suddenly, the phone rang. "Hello? Glasses guy." Lin Fan answered the phone, his expression becoming serious. "Any progress on the news about the Ten Divine Artifacts?"
"Well, Brother Fan, I've already sent the details to your email." The man with glasses said from the other end of the line. "Officials in Ancheng have also begun investigating, reportedly to find the Donghuang Bell..."
"Donghuang Bell?" Lin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up. Is the Donghuang Bell really in Ancheng?
"According to the clues, Qianlong Mountain and Dongshan Island are the most likely targets... and it's not just Chinese officials, many foreign forces have also quietly entered Ancheng, targeting the Donghuang Bell," the man with glasses continued. "Especially the superpowers, whose top departments have all sent personnel."
"They dared to steal China's treasure?" Lin Fan's face darkened. "Find out their whereabouts! Now that they're here, don't even think about leaving."
"Brother Fan is so domineering! If they knew the Ghost King had returned, they would probably think carefully before taking any action."
"Stop talking nonsense and keep paying attention to the situation. Let me know immediately if you have any news."
"Got it!" After a few more words, Lin Fan hung up and checked his email. "Qianlong Mountain is south of Ancheng, and Dongshan Island is east of the East China Sea... I need to find a chance to visit." Lin Fan pondered as he read.
Just as he was lost in thought, the bedroom door slowly opened and Zhao Ziqing emerged. She had already changed and washed up. She felt a surge of panic under Lin Fan's gaze, but she remained even more icy on the outside. This was the only way to conceal her inner panic and shyness.
"She was more attractive in bed just now," Lin Fan said, putting away his phone and looking at Zhao Ziqing. Her burning flame just now formed a stark contrast to her current icy image.
"Shut up!" Zhao Ziqing almost lost control when she heard Lin Fan's words.
"We should go," she said.
"Spending thousands of dollars and leaving like that? Isn't that a bit of a waste?" Lin Fan said. "If I had known this, I should have booked a room by the hour."
"Have you ever seen a luxury suite that offers hourly rooms? I can't afford to lose face." After saying that, Zhao Ziqing walked straight out the door.
"If you think it's a waste, you can stay here for one night." Lin Fan thought about asking Wang Chudong to stay for the night, but then he thought better of it. Regardless of whether Wang Chudong would agree, what if Zhao Ziqing suddenly got the urge to catch him cheating? That would be the end of it.
In the elevator, Lin Fan suddenly suggested, "How about we watch some TV before we go?"
"Why?" Zhao Ziqing asked puzzledly.
Zhao Ziqing's brows furrowed slightly. What was this guy up to? "The check-out time is too short. Will the front desk look at me strangely? Are they doubting me? You know, it usually takes me at least three hours to have a good time." Lin Fan said seriously, with a hint of a playful smile on his face.
"Or, can we go back and watch two more episodes of the show?" he suggested, looking serious.
Zhao Ziqing was speechless. This guy's thoughts were jumping too fast. She didn't even bother to respond. As soon as the elevator door opened, she walked out without looking back.
"Oh, my wise image is ruined in an instant." Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ziqing's back, sighed helplessly, and quickly followed.
Not long after, the two left the hotel and drove back to the company. As soon as they got out of the car, Lin Fan looked extremely serious. "Could you not be so hasty next time? If you must come to the hotel, at least stay longer."
Zhao Ziqing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
"Do you want to go see the warehouse together?" Lin Fan suggested.
"Okay." Zhao Ziqing agreed, and the two went together.
As soon as they entered the warehouse, they were shocked by the scene before them. Most of the rough stones had been opened, and the Emerald Mountain was more dazzling than before.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Shao Ying and Xu Kai greeted Zhao Ziqing respectfully as soon as they saw him.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Ziqing smiled slightly and nodded to them.
"It's not hard, this is what we should do." The two answered in unison.
Zhao Ziqing walked to the front of the jade mountain, her eyes flashing with a fiery light. In all the years she had run the Zhao Company, she had never seen so much jade, even in the jade market.
"When are we going again?" Lin Fan approached her and asked softly.
"As long as you are interested, the jadeite is waiting for you to pick up at any time." Zhao Ziqing replied, "Once this batch of jadeite is sorted out, we have plenty of time." She forced herself not to ask Lin Fan how he did all this.
"If we have a chance, we can go to Wanta to have a look." Zhao Ziqing is a far-sighted woman. Since Lin Fan can unearth so many jadeite, the raw stone market in Ancheng can no longer satisfy her appetite.
Next, Zhao's company will usher in a new stage of rapid development and enter a broader market. Although the jade in front of her is attractive, it is far from enough for her grand blueprint!
