Chapter 92

The Shangri-La Hotel is located by the West Lake, consisting of two main buildings and three independent villas, renowned for its beautiful and charming environment as well as its attentive and considerate service.

Strolling around the West Lake, walking along the garden paths that span 40 acres of the hotel's grounds, and enjoying the water fun in the hotel's indoor swimming pool...

No matter which way you choose, staying at the Hanghu Shangri-La Hotel will perfectly allow you to enjoy the ancient and tranquil beauty of the West Lake.

In addition, the Babino Restaurant at the Shangri-La Hotel is the top Western restaurant in Hanghu and even the entire Jiangnan region—guests can enjoy Italian cuisine in a refined setting surrounded by mountains, while admiring the nearby West Lake scenery.

On the third evening after making a wish at Lingyin Temple, Ye Fan received a call from Su Yuxin before leaving work, learning that Su Liuli would be heading to the East Sea for school the next morning. Su Yuxin had specially arranged a farewell dinner for Su Liuli and invited Ye Fan to join.

Although Su Liuli had been trying every possible way to tarnish Ye Fan's reputation, Ye Fan did not have any ill feelings towards her. As a result, he did not refuse Su Yuxin's invitation.

After work, he drove his unremarkable Audi A6L, following Su Yuxin's Bentley, heading to the Babino Restaurant at the Shangri-La Hotel.

Due to traffic congestion, it took Ye Fan and Su Yuxin nearly an hour to reach the entrance of the Shangri-La Hotel.

"Big Brother Ye, Sister, you're here!" At the hotel entrance, Su Jindi had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ye Fan and Su Yuxin approach, he hurriedly greeted them.

Su Yuxin frowned as she approached and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

"Um... I didn't attend the last self-study class." Su Jindi explained, "Sending off Sister Liuli is a big deal, you know."

Hearing Su Jindi's explanation, Su Yuxin sighed helplessly and asked, "Is Sister Liuli here yet?"

"She's here, and she was just ordering the dishes when I came down." Su Jindi, relieved that Su Yuxin didn't press further, said, "Let's go up."

"Let's go, Doctor Ye."

Su Yuxin glanced at Ye Fan and took the lead, walking into the hotel, with Ye Fan and Su Jindi following behind.

As one of the best Western restaurants in Hanghu, the Babino Restaurant is decorated luxuriously and has an elegant atmosphere, like all high-end Western restaurants.

It has a typical Italian style, with an orange color scheme, oil paintings hanging on the walls, and uniquely shaped wall lamps hanging on the square pillars.

Despite it being early and the sky not yet dark, the wall lamps were all lit, casting a soft glow over the entire restaurant. Looking around, the waiters were dressed in uniform, and the guests were dressed elegantly, speaking in hushed tones.

As Su Jindi had said, Su Liuli was not only already there but was also holding the menu and communicating fluently in English with the waiter—although the status of Chinese had gradually surpassed English, in authentic Western restaurants like this in China, the waiters still primarily use English.

"Miss Su, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Shortly after, as Ye Fan and Su Jindi followed Su Yuxin toward a table by the window, a woman smiled and stood up from her seat, greeting Su Yuxin.

The woman had a head of flowing long hair, dyed a wine red, with large curls casually draped over her shoulders like waves.

She had a classic oval face, a straight nose, slightly thin lips painted red, and was extremely alluring.

Compared to her red lips, the most captivating feature of the woman's face was her eyes. She had a pair of rare fox eyes, with a captivating gaze that seemed to be constantly sending electric currents, captivating the soul.

In terms of appearance alone, the woman could be considered a beauty, and one who could still be called a beauty even without makeup.

If her beautiful face and curvaceous figure were combined, she would be the kind of woman who could instantly arouse a man's desires.

Especially the alluring aura she exuded, which was like a poison to men!

"Hello, Miss Xie."

After entering the restaurant, Su Yuxin had been focused on finding Su Liuli and hadn't noticed the woman. Seeing the woman greet her, she smiled and responded.

"Is Miss Su here for a family gathering?"

Xie Yin's smile remained unchanged, and she glanced at Ye Fan, her eyes twinkling, her alluring expression and red lips making it seem as if she was subtly seducing Ye Fan.

Hmm?

Noticing Xie Yin's seduction, Ye Fan remained calm, but he felt a vague sense that something was off about the woman, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what.

"No."

Seeing Xie Yin's gaze on Ye Fan and the subtle seduction, Su Yuxin felt a strange discomfort, "My cousin is going to school in the East Sea, so we're having a meal together."

"Is that so..." Xie Yin said, still looking at Ye Fan, "Miss Su, this must be the Doctor Ye who cured your illness, right?"

"Yes." Su Yuxin nodded, losing interest in the conversation, and politely said, "Sorry, Miss Xie, my sister is waiting for us. We need to go. We can talk another time."

"Sure."

Xie Yin smiled, then turned to Ye Fan, "Doctor Ye, I've heard a lot about you. I've been looking forward to meeting you. It's an honor to meet you today. Let's get acquainted. My name is Xie Yin."

"It's all thanks to Miss Su." Ye Fan said calmly, "Since Miss Xie is Miss Su's friend, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet. No need for formalities."

With that, Ye Fan didn't wait for Xie Yin to respond and followed Su Yuxin toward Su Liuli.

Noticing this, Su Yuxin felt the strange discomfort in her heart vanish, as if she had eaten honey, feeling sweet inside.

Xie Yin, not expecting Ye Fan to be so unresponsive, was momentarily stunned, her outstretched white hand frozen in the air.

"Huh?"

Su Liuli, who had just finished ordering, saw this and was surprised, her eyes widening in astonishment.

At the same time, seeing many men in the restaurant looking at her with intense gazes, Xie Yin reluctantly withdrew her hand, her fox eyes flashing with a glint, her thoughts unknown.

"Oh, someone's charm is quite strong, even getting the top fox spirit of Hanghu to approach you."

Shortly after, as Ye Fan and Su Yuxin, along with Su Jindi, approached the table by the window, Su Liuli looked at Ye Fan, seemingly trying to find what had attracted Xie Yin to him.

"That's for sure. If I were a woman, I'd chase after someone as cool as Big Brother Ye!" Su Jindi flattered with a grin.

Su Liuli glared at Su Jindi, "Su Jindi, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't flatter Ye Fan every day?"

"Pfft, I'm just speaking the truth." Su Jindi said with a straight face, "Didn't you see that fox spirit extend her hand to make friends, and Big Brother Ye ignored her completely?"

"In my opinion, he was already captivated, just afraid of revealing his true nature as a pervert, so he chose to ignore her." Su Liuli huffed, "Besides, this is also a strategy to make the fox spirit fall into his trap."

"Su Liuli, what grudge do you have against me? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't tarnish my reputation every day?" Seeing Su Liuli immediately badmouth him upon meeting, Ye Fan was puzzled, suspecting he might owe her money from a past life.

Su Liuli felt a bit guilty but retorted, "Who's tarnishing your reputation? I'm just warning you so you don't get swallowed whole by that fox spirit."

"Big Brother Ye, she's not wrong this time."

Su Jindi, rarely agreeing with Su Liuli, chimed in, "Xie Yin is the top fox spirit of Hanghu, skilled in seduction and with exceptional bedroom skills. It's said that her husband was drained of his vitality and died young. After his death, she seduced her father-in-law, causing his early demise and allowing her to smoothly inherit all the wealth."

"Even more bizarrely, after her husband and father-in-law died, she had affairs with several well-known playboys in Hanghu, and their health began to decline."

Su Jindi continued, "Now, the entire upper class of Hanghu is spreading that she is a reincarnated fox spirit, and almost no one dares to have an affair with her."

"How do you know so much about her?" Ye Fan was curious about Su Jindi's detailed knowledge of Xie Yin.

"The fox spirit's brother goes to the same school as me."

Su Jindi, thinking of something, said irritably, "Damn, because I've been focusing on my studies recently and haven't been racing, that idiot challenged me to a race, thinking he could beat me."

"No way." Su Yuxin frowned.

Su Jindi's face changed, regretting his loose lips.

Ye Fan, however, glanced at Xie Yin's alluring back, and a vague suspicion formed in his mind.
