If you're willing, I can take you out for a meal today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling shrugged, took two steps forward, and naturally sat on the back of Chen Fan's bicycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan frowned, feeling a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Or do you need to go and ask your little girlfriend for permission first?\" Fang Ling teased with a smile. \"Should I give you half an hour?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head without saying anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got on the bicycle and rode with Fang Ling towards the school gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling excitedly shouted, wrapping her arms around Chen Fan's waist and pressing her firm yet soft body against his back excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the tight pressure on his back, Chen Fan felt a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... you don't need to hold on so tightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling laughed and shouted, \"I want to. What's wrong? Are you shy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so conservative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't let himself think too much about it and directly asked, \"What would you like to eat, Senior Sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling thought for a moment and shouted, \"I want to eat barbecue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't ask further. There was a barbecue restaurant right across the school gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them went in and went straight to the second floor, then chose an empty table to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it wasn't dinnertime yet, there weren't many customers in the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A server brought the menu over, and Chen Fan pointed at Fang Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give it to her and let her order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling didn't hold back and ordered a whole table full of dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you eat all of that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mind your own business!\" Fang Ling glared at him. \"It's not often I get a chance like this, so of course I'm going to make you pay for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plate after plate of meat and vegetables were quickly served, and Fang Ling grabbed a can of beer, gesturing to Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you want to have a can with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head. \"I just had a meal, so I'll pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling immediately put on a pitiful and sad look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you dislike me that much? You're so reluctant even when we're just having a meal together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed helplessly and took the beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that's better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling opened a can for herself, took a sip, and then looked at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you still dating that little girlfriend of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded. \"We have a good relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you're done with her, consider me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled wryly. \"Senior Sister, can we be a bit more serious? This joke isn't funny at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Ling looked completely serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's joking? I'm telling the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you always think I'm joking with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan glanced at her. \"I have a girlfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling smiled, totally serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dating is no big deal. So many college couples love each other intensely while they're in school, but break up as soon as they graduate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head. \"I'm different. My relationship with my girlfriend is great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling continued smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A good relationship doesn't mean you're right for each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You started your own business right after entering university, and in just two short years, you've achieved such great success. You're one in a million, not just at Yunhai University, but among all universities nationwide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Fang Ling wasn't flattering Chen Fan, but was sincerely analyzing things for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're a smart person, you should understand how difficult it is to start a business without any background or support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I also believe you must have realized by now that the problems you'll face will only get bigger and bigger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you need now is not a gentle, obedient, and clingy girlfriend, but a reliable ally and powerful support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling looked at Chen Fan. \"I've looked into your girlfriend's background. She's just an ordinary university student. Apart from being a good student, her family has a small company in Luocheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But they can't help you at all, and in my opinion, their little company is insignificant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being with her, apart from having a beautiful girlfriend and a decent campus romance, she doesn't actually provide you any help. In fact, the further you go, the more likely she'll become a burden...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling suddenly smiled. \"But I'm different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know my background. The Fang family may not be a noble family in Yunhai, but we definitely have some influence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I'm quite confident in my figure and looks. It wouldn't be embarrassing to bring me out, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we're together, it would only benefit your future career and my family, with no downsides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just look at your current business layout, and you'll know you have great ambitions for the future. So you should understand what I'm saying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, Fang Ling raised her hand and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, giving Chen Fan a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you've offended the Zhao family, and they've been causing you trouble recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we're together and make our relationship public, the Zhao family's petty tricks would be nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Fang Ling's face turned slightly red as she stared at Chen Fan, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think? Don't you want to reconsider me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Fang Ling, raised his hand to gently put down his chopsticks, and his tone became serious for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, I'm grateful that you think highly of me and appreciate the help you've given me recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... my relationship with my girlfriend will never change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this life, Chen Fan will only love her, and I will marry her. So...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, please don't say such things again in the future, otherwise, I will really get angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling stared at Chen Fan in silence for several seconds before finally letting out a light sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I didn't expect you to be such a romantic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chen Fan was about to relax, Fang Ling smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it's okay, I'll wait. Until the day you accept me again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan suddenly felt a headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why bother? With your background and looks, what kind of boyfriend can't you find? Why do you insist on demeaning yourself by clinging to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Ling just smiled and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fan. Do you know what the most important advantage is for a girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Chen Fan to respond, Fang Ling continued on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not being beautiful, or being talented in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting... or being gentle and elegant... it's having good judgment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good judgment means choosing a suitable man for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling gazed at Chen Fan with burning eyes, making no attempt to hide her feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you are the choice I've made for myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A done deal, with no regrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1262,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","a69081a1161cd68fc393e3a322f9cb9d821ff7eadf4242084a19ff0ca3d8cf0a","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-283","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-281",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
