Gorgeous CEO Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 1097 - 1096: Love Is Fought For!

"Cooked rice into cooked rice?"The only words echoing in Qiu Ruohan's mind were these five big characters. Looking at Lin Fan's handsome features, Qiu Ruohan felt a moment of emotion stirring within her!

For the sake of love, should she take a gamble?

Not long after, the last two dishes were also ready, and Lin Fan was invited to the table.

Mrs. Qiu smiled subtly, "It's just a simple meal, Lin, please don't mind!"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm not picky about food."

As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, savoring it and repeatedly praising it as delicious!

Mrs. Qiu secretly gave Qiu Ruohan several suggestive glances, but Qiu Ruohan kept avoiding them, too embarrassed to use her mother's tactics!

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiu became anxious and said, "Lin, may I ask an inappropriate question? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mrs. Qiu and the slightly blushing Qiu Ruohan, immediately understanding the implication behind Mrs. Qiu's words!

However, with Qiu Ruohan present, Lin Fan was embarrassed to lie, so he said, "I already have a girlfriend!"

"Oh, that's really a pity!" Mrs. Qiu sighed!

"Huh? What's a pity?" Lin Fan was momentarily stunned.

"Mom! What are you saying!" Qiu Ruohan quickly interrupted.

Mrs. Qiu realized she misspoke and hurriedly said, "Sorry, Lin, that's not what I meant. I meant... what do you think of Han as a person?"

"Sister Qiu is great, very capable. I just gave her a chance, and she grasped it, turning the beauty salon into such a success even I admire her!" Lin Fan replied with a smile.

"Lin, you're exaggerating!" Qiu Ruohan said, her face flushed.

Mrs. Qiu shook her head, "Lin, I'm not asking about Han's abilities, but about her as a person."

"As a person?" Lin Fan feigned ignorance.

"Like... Han's looks, figure, personality, and such!" Mrs. Qiu hastily added.

Lin Fan broke out in a cold sweat, feeling nervous under Mrs. Qiu's expectant gaze, feeling as if he was being pressured into marriage!

However, Lin Fan suddenly recalled the scene in the dressing room, remembered the view inside the collar, and with a slight smile, said, "Sister Qiu has a great personality, and many boys will definitely like her. As for her looks and figure... you could only describe it as a masterpiece of a body crafted by nature, like a fairy in a painting!"

"Haha! I didn't expect Lin to hold Han in such high regard!"

Mrs. Qiu laughed heartily, continuously nudging Qiu Ruohan under the table, signaling her to express herself!

But since Qiu Ruohan was naturally shy, and Mrs. Qiu had already brought the topic to such a point, Qiu Ruohan was too embarrassed to respond, instead raising her poured glass of red wine and saying, "Lin, I toast to you, thank you for your guidance!"

"Sister Qiu, you're too kind, it was all your hard work!" Lin Fan chuckled lightly.

The two clinked glasses gently and drank the red wine in one go!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Suddenly, the sound of wind came from outside the window, and the open window was rattling from the strong gusts!

"The wind is picking up, it looks like rain is coming!" Mrs. Qiu commented as she hurriedly went to secure the window.

"Boom!"

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly erupted, sounding like a firecracker right by the ear, incredibly loud!

With a "pop," the lights inside the house suddenly went out, and outside, everything was pitch black as the entire neighborhood plunged into darkness, a power outage had occurred!

"Ah!"

A scream echoed inside, and Lin Fan suddenly felt a soft body thrown into his arms. Instinctively, his hand brushed over something soft, and he gave it a squeeze, hmm, nice elasticity!

"It's just a bit of rain, but now there's a power outage too. It's such bad timing for Lin's visit, don't overthink, Lin!"

Being from the countryside, Mrs. Qiu, somewhat superstitious, quickly reassured.

"Don't worry, Auntie, we're in a scientific era now!"

Lin Fan joked, pulling out his phone to activate the flashlight function. As he shone it in front of him, he saw that the softness in his arms was none other than Qiu Ruohan, and what he had felt was her little bottom!

Lin Fan quickly withdrew his hand, noticing Qiu Ruohan's face was flushed red, as if blood could drip out, her face an epitome of "awkwardness!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan recalled his first night at the Qiu Family's home, also a rainy night when Sister Qiu, scared of thunder, had snuggled into his arms!

At this point, Mrs. Qiu lit two candles and brought them over. Qiu Ruohan quickly pulled away from Lin Fan's embrace, turning her back to him. Although Lin Fan couldn't see her face, everyone could sense the lingering shyness from her!

Due to the power outage, the meal concluded quickly and soon came to an end!

Lin Fan helped tidy up the table, smoked a cigarette while chatting briefly with Mrs. Qiu, then stood and said, "Auntie, the rain looks like it's getting heavier. You should rest early; I'll head out now!"

"With such heavy rain and strong winds, it's dangerous to walk in this weather. There are plenty of rooms here, so Lin, why not stay the night?"

Mrs. Qiu hurriedly urged, discreetly poking Qiu Ruohan's back to signal her to extend an invitation too.

Qiu Ruohan, left with no choice, added, "Yes, Lin, you didn't drive here, and with this rain, we won't be at ease if you leave. Just stay the night!"

Lin Fan walked over to the window and looked outside. The rain was indeed heavy, coupled with the wind swirling the raindrops around, slamming them against the surroundings. The rain hit the glass like little stones, making a persistent patter!

Seeing Mrs. Qiu's earnest expression, Lin Fan decided, "Alright, I'll stay the night then!"

"I'll go prepare your room, Han, come with me!"

Mrs. Qiu spoke as she carried a candle in one hand and pulled Qiu Ruohan's jade-like hand with the other, heading towards the bedroom!

Once in the bedroom, Mrs. Qiu turned to Qiu Ruohan and earnestly said, "Child, this is a great opportunity provided by heaven. If you miss this chance, who knows when the next one will come. Don't disappoint your mother!"

"Mom! Don't worry about this, I know what to do!" Qiu Ruohan replied shyly.

"What do you know? I think you're just a muddlehead. If you delay and Lin gets married, you really won't have a chance!" Mrs. Qiu reminded her.

"Married?"

Qiu Ruohan shook her head. Regardless of whether Lin Fan got married or to whom, Qiu Ruohan knew it would never be to herself. Even if she were with Lin Fan, she would only be a lover, like Gu Qingcheng and others!

Then, Mrs. Qiu clasped Qiu Ruohan's delicate hand, gently patting it, sighing as she spoke firmly, "Child, remember, if you love, then strive for it, using any means necessary, as long as it doesn't bring divine retribution or go against morality, go for it!"

"No one remembers the losers; only the victors are forever remembered in people's hearts. Love doesn't fall from the sky, it's something you fight for with your own efforts!"
