Hearing the man's words, one of those beside him could not help but laugh. "If Maple Bro likes her, why not take her into your chambers as a concubine? I imagine that old fellow Lin Zhentian wouldn't dare object."
"Exactly, exactly."
Another also agreed. "As members of the Lin Clan, even taking her as a concubine would be an honor for her and her branch family!"
Their words left Maple Bro rather tempted.
He immediately changed direction and strode quickly toward Qing Tan and Lin Fan.
Qing Tan blinked her beautiful eyes and said rather unhappily, "Bro Lin Fan, you finally came out. I was bored to death while you were gone."
"Wasn't I just about to come out and keep you company?"
Lin Fan chuckled. "Let's go get something to eat."
Qing Tan nodded and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat, Bro Lin Fan? I can make it for you!"
"Anything is fine. As long as Qing Tan made it, I liked it," Lin Fan replied.
"Hehe."
Qing Tan gave a sweet, guileless laugh and was just about to speak.
At that moment, an abrupt voice interrupted their conversation.
"Little sister, what delicious food are you making? Could you include me?"
At those words, Lin Fan immediately frowned. He recognized the newcomers as members of the Lin Clan.
The man who had spoken had even deliberately exposed the clan insignia on his chest, flaunting it.
Seemingly aware of their identities, Qing Tan ignored them and took Lin Fan's hand, intending to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Seeing this, the other three directly blocked their path.
One of them said coldly, "What's this? Our Maple Bro spoke to you personally, and you dare show him such disrespect? Are you looking down on our Lin Clan?"
