"Tell her," Su Fan said to Dongfang Tingyin.
Dongfang Tingyin looked at Su Fan, a strange glint in her eyes.
Then she dialed Su Yutong's number and explained that Su Fan would pretend to be her boyfriend.
"Let him go, use him, we're sisters!" Su Yutong said generously to Dongfang Tingyin.
Su Fan's face darkened.
"Hey, I'm here," Su Fan couldn't help but say into the phone.
"Ah?" Su Yutong was startled to suddenly hear Su Fan's voice, and then quickly hung up.
Listening to the dial tone, Su Fan was speechless.
"She agreed, so you can go back with me now, henpecked?" Dongfang Tingyin teased Su Fan.
"What do you mean henpecked! I'll sue you for defamation!" Su Fan immediately jumped up. He absolutely refused to admit he was henpecked, mainly because he and Su Yutong hadn't officially declared their relationship yet.
"Shall we leave now?"
"Yes, I've already bought the tickets," Dongfang Tingyin said, shaking her phone.
While Su Fan was speaking, she had already booked a flight to Beijing online. It would only take two hours to reach the capital.
"Let's go, there are only thirty minutes left before the plane takes off," Dongfang Tingyin said, giving Su Fan no chance to hesitate. She had booked the earliest possible flight.
"So urgent? I haven't packed any luggage," Su Fan hesitated.
"What luggage do you need for just three days?" Dongfang Tingyin directly pulled Su Fan towards the exit.
"Then I'll at least grab a change of clothes?"
"We'll buy them when we get there." Dongfang Tingyin was determined not to give Su Fan any chance to refuse, insisting on leaving immediately.
Su Fan, with a look of distress, was pulled out of the company by Dongfang Tingyin.
"Lu Chun, I'm leaving the company in your care for the next few days." Dongfang Tingyin had already arranged all the major affairs of the company. Lu Chun only needed to manage the details, and there was no need to worry about any problems arising.
After the two left, discussions immediately began within the company.
"Was that Director Su being dragged away by the manager just now?"
"Of course. I saw Su Fan looking so distressed. I didn't expect Director Su to be the submissive one."
"It seems Director Su and the manager are a couple. How did we not notice before?"
"Of course. Director Su is rich and handsome, and Manager Dongfang is capable. Plus, her looks could outshine any A-list celebrity. If it were me, I'd chase Manager Dongfang too."
"They look so good together, a perfect embodiment of 'a talented man and a beautiful woman'."
"What are you all doing? Why are you gossiping during work hours?" Lu Chun walked out of the office, frowning at the employees lounging by the window.
The gossiping employees quickly dispersed and returned to their workstations.
...
Su Fan was reluctantly pulled onto the plane by Dongfang Tingyin. Once here, he wouldn't have time to turn back.
"You didn't even give me time to change my underwear, you're too impatient," Su Fan muttered beside her.
"What are you muttering about? Am I the one who's impatient? The plane will take off if we're any later," Dongfang Tingyin denied, refusing to admit she was in a hurry.
*Heh!* Su Fan scoffed inwardly.
You booked the tickets, didn't you? If you weren't in a hurry, why book such an early flight?
"I'm going to sleep for a bit. Wake me up when we land," Dongfang Tingyin reclined her seat, closed her eyes, and covered herself with a blanket, preparing to rest.
Su Fan also intended to rest.
"Sir, could you please switch seats with me?" A middle-aged man, dressed impeccably, approached Su Fan and asked politely.
"Why should I switch with you?" Su Fan was puzzled. He was sitting comfortably, why would he switch seats with this stranger? It made no sense.
"I don't really like window seats, so could we switch?" The middle-aged man pointed to his seat, which was by the window, with an empty seat next to it.
Su Fan frowned.
Was this guy looking for trouble? He had an empty seat next to him, so why would he want to switch? Su Fan looked back at the middle-aged man, who quickly averted his gaze and looked at Su Fan expectantly.
Su Fan followed his gaze. The man was looking at Dongfang Tingyin.
Well, this guy didn't dislike window seats, he liked beautiful women's seats!
"I can switch, but I shouldn't get nothing out of it, right?" Su Fan decided to teach him a lesson.
"Understood, understood," the middle-aged man nodded understandingly, took out his wallet, and pulled out a few large bills.
"Please, brother, a small token of my appreciation," the middle-aged man said, handing the money to Su Fan. It was a thick stack of bills, at least several thousand yuan.
However, Su Fan did not take it.
"Do you think someone who can afford first class is short of a few thousand yuan?" Su Fan asked the middle-aged man expressionlessly.
The middle-aged man was stunned. Su Fan was right; first-class passengers were indeed social elites, and no one would be short of such a small amount of money.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I like the watch on your wrist," Su Fan said, glancing at the Patek Philippe watch on the middle-aged man's wrist.
The middle-aged man hesitated. This watch was brought back from abroad and was hard to find in China, worth hundreds of thousands. Then he greedily glanced at Dongfang Tingyin. Such a rare beauty was truly exceptional. He had been in the dating scene for many years and had rarely seen anyone like her. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity.
What was a few hundred thousand compared to a stunning beauty? It was worth it!
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and took off his watch.
"Since you like it, brother, I'll give it to you." The middle-aged man reluctantly handed the watch to Su Fan, putting on a magnanimous air.
"Thank you, brother," Su Fan accepted the watch without hesitation. He happened to need a decent watch for decoration, and this one was good, and most importantly, it was free.
"Then, brother, your seat..." the middle-aged man asked Su Fan expectantly.
"Oh, that's naturally yours," Su Fan said with a smile and then stood up from his seat.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He had finally managed it. As long as he could connect with this stunning beauty, with his experience in the dating world, he was sure to win her over! The middle-aged man immediately fell into a pleasant fantasy.
"Tingyin, wake up. We're switching seats. This gentleman doesn't like window seats, so we're giving it to him," Su Fan called out to Dongfang Tingyin.
Dongfang Tingyin woke up groggily, looking at Su Fan with a strange expression.
"Why are we suddenly switching seats?" she asked, confused.
"This gentleman kindly gave me a watch and asked to switch seats with me. Come on, let's go sit in the back," Su Fan said, showing off the watch on his wrist.
Dongfang Tingyin looked at Su Fan with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the middle-aged man. *Is this guy an idiot? Giving away a watch worth hundreds of thousands just to switch seats?*
The middle-aged man's face turned dark. He felt like he had been played.
"The plane is about to land. Please remain seated and do not move around," the flight attendant's voice came from the intercom. The plane was about to land, and no one could move around freely anymore.
The middle-aged man didn't even have a chance to vent his anger at Su Fan.
