Chapter 259: Chapter 185: Flying with My Daughter, a Full Platinum First-Class Experience

Lu Fan heard her words and knew full well that Jiang Yixia was doubting if he was truly serious about coming back to her.

He answered smoothly, "I did. After you left, I kept asking people to look for you. But the company was just starting out, I was busy with my career, and my network wasn’t what it is today, so I couldn’t find you."

Although Jiang Yixia’s expression remained calm after hearing his words,

you could sense a hint of excitement in her features.

’So this guy has been looking for me all these years.’

Jiang Yixia thought about it. It seemed to make sense. Back then, she had never told Lu Fan the exact location of her hometown.

She had only told him she was from Guangdong Province.

No matter how capable he was, he couldn’t have found her in a sea of people.

At this thought, some of the resentment in Jiang Yixia’s heart dissipated.

But she still asked, "In all the years since I left, have you ever truly liked someone else? And I mean *truly* liked."

Lu Fan knew what she meant by that question.

He knew that in his younger days, he hadn’t cared about "liking" someone. If a woman was attractive, he’d go for it.

It was all about indulging in the power and desire that came with his money.

After all, women who had once been unattainable were now fawning all over him.

Anyone in his position would feel that same desire for conquest.

Jiang Yixia knew full well that the younger Lu Fan hadn’t actually liked those girls.

He just enjoyed the feeling of it all.

That’s why she asked if he had *truly* liked any other girl in all these years.

Lu Fan answered immediately, "No. In all these years, I haven’t liked a single one."

"Really?" Jiang Yixia asked, frowning.

Even in the dim theater, Lu Fan could feel the pressure of her interrogation.

But he could handle a situation like this with ease.

Lu Fan immediately raised three fingers. "If you don’t believe me, I’ll swear on it. Other than you, I haven’t liked any other woman—and I mean *truly* liked. If I’m lying, may lightning strike me down."

Seeing how serious he seemed, Jiang Yixia decided to believe him for now. "Alright, stop with the oaths. You were swearing like that back when I was eighteen. It’s not like I haven’t heard it all before."

"This time is different."

"You say it’s different every time."

Although Jiang Yixia retorted, a faint smile still touched the corners of her mouth. She then said to Lu Fan, "Okay, let’s just watch the movie."

For the rest of the time, Jiang Yixia kept her eyes glued to the movie.

She didn’t talk to Lu Fan at all.

Of course, Lu Fan wasn’t about to let such a good opportunity pass.

Seeing how focused she was, Lu Fan carefully reached his arm behind her.

But just as he was about to touch her shoulder, she noticed.

Jiang Yixia frowned. "Move your hand right now, or don’t blame me for biting you!"

"I don’t believe you."

Lu Fan grinned and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

The next second, Jiang Yixia grabbed his hand and bit down hard on the back of it.

Lu Fan feigned shock. "Whoa, are you part dog? You actually bit me."

Jiang Yixia raised her eyebrows smugly. "I told you I’d bite you if you dared to put your arm around me."

Looking at her proud expression, he had to admit that even though Jiang Yixia was in her thirties, she always acted like a young girl whenever she was with him.

Lu Fan looked at the faint teeth marks and knew she hadn’t bitten down hard.

He was well aware of how strong her bite was.

If she had really meant it, he’d probably be bleeding by now.

But he still pretended to be in pain. "Oww, that hurts."

"Where does it hurt? Stop pretending. I barely bit you," Jiang Yixia retorted.

But Lu Fan’s act of hissing in pain made her a little anxious.

’Has my bite gotten stronger over the years?’

Jiang Yixia said tentatively, "Let me have a look."

"Just kidding. It doesn’t actually hurt," Lu Fan said with a chuckle.

Furious, Jiang Yixia smacked his shoulder a couple of times. "You lied to me again! You’re always lying to me."

"I’m just flirting with you, right? It’s not like I’m actually deceiving you," Lu Fan teased.

"Who’s flirting with you?" Jiang Yixia said angrily.

But she had to admit, their dynamic just now was just like when they were dating over a decade ago.

They would bicker, talk, and laugh, and their bond was so strong.

It made Jiang Yixia recall memories from their past.

Back then, she loved to lean against Lu Fan’s broad chest while they watched movies at home.

But that guy... whenever they watched a movie, his hands would always start to wander.

He especially loved to slip his hand...

As a result, whenever she and Lu Fan watched a movie together, they never managed to see one all the way through.

Every time, halfway through, their attention would be diverted elsewhere.

At the thought, Jiang Yixia couldn’t help but draw her legs together.

Her face gradually flushed red.

And just like that, for the next hour, she had no idea what happened in the movie, nor did she have the mind to watch.

Of course, it wasn’t as if she didn’t know the movie’s plot by heart already.

But tonight, her mind was simply elsewhere.

After they left the movie theater, Lu Fan asked, "Are you hungry now? Want to go get a late-night snack?"

Jiang Yixia said helplessly, "I’m not a pig."

"You’re still growing, after all," Lu Fan smiled.

Jiang Yixia looked at him, bewildered, as if he’d told a ridiculous joke. "I’m still growing? Have you lost your mind?"

"Of course. Your figure has even better proportions now than it did before," Lu Fan teased.

Jiang Yixia glared at him, then walked forward without looking back.
