Urban Most Awesome Dad

“Mom, what are you talking about? Including this time, I’ve only met Mr. Xu twice. How could he possibly be interested in me?” Chen Lele stomped her little foot, pouting at her mother.

“So what if you’ve met only twice? What’s that saying? ‘Love at first sight.’ It’s enough for predestined people to meet just once,” Chen Lixin teased.

“Mr. Xu is so talented and wealthy; he could never possibly fancy someone like me,” Chen Lele mumbled, pouting with a touch of dejection.

“Nonsense, our Lele has both looks and education. How could such an outstanding girl not be worthy of him?” Chen Lixin cradled Chen Lele’s face, gazing at her pure and unblemished cheeks as she softly spoke.

Actually, Chen Lele’s features were quite beautiful. It was just that Chen Lele never really wore makeup and opted for a fresh and simple style. Moreover, her clothing choices were very conservative, so she didn’t appear as eye-catching.

If Chen Lele were to dress in a fashionable style and put on makeup, her attractiveness would undoubtedly surpass a score of nine.

“People rely on clothes; Buddha relies on gold.” Even the beauties in the entertainment industry are made through packaging. There are few truly naturally beautiful people. Most secondary actresses’ looks are a bit inferior to Chen Lele’s.

However, under their stylists and makeup artists’ professional team, these stars use various means to not only cover their flaws but also maximise their strengths. And with a strong post-production team for photos, the difference between the stars as seen on promotional posters and in real life is quite significant.

In contrast, although Xu Lele doesn’t stand out as a striking beauty right now, her tall and slim figure, fair skin, and pretty features aren’t inferior to those of real stars.

Therefore, Chen Lixin had great confidence in her daughter.

“Lele, such an outstanding guy is rare in society nowadays. If you encounter one, you must seize the opportunity,” Chen Lijuan patiently advised Chen Lele.

“Mom! Weren’t you the one who just said I shouldn’t be looking for a partner? Now why are you pushing me to find one?” Chen Lele protested unconvinced.

“Just now, Mom didn’t know that the person who helped you become the store manager was him. I thought it might be some old man in his forties or fifties, and I was worried you might be deceived. Now that I’ve seen Xiao Xu, I realize just how lucky you are, this little girl. Xiao Xu is so outstanding; you must grasp the opportunity,” Chen Lixin winked at Chen Lele.

“Mom! I’m not talking to you anymore!” Chen Lele pretended to be angry, stomped her foot, and walked into the back room of the clothing store by herself.

In fact, Chen Lele was well aware of her mother’s intentions. Xu Fan’s imposing figure had already made a lasting impression in Chen Lele’s mind.

A few days ago, when Xu Fan bought a car, Chen Lele had added him on WeChat. These past few nights, she had found herself staring at Xu Fan’s profile picture before bed, wanting to send him a message but not knowing what to say. She feared that whatever she sent might annoy Xu Fan and eventually fell asleep in such indecision.

Today, the clothing store had been targeted by a bunch of hoodlums, and Xu Lele had already started to despair, when, at that critical moment, Xu Fan appeared out of nowhere, commanding and awe-inspiring, by her side. With a wave of his hand, he took care of the gang of hoodlums and even aimed to uproot the biggest grey power in the southern city, the Hu Family.

Chen Lele was now somewhat confused. Could it really be as Mom said, that he had always been silently caring for me? If so, why didn’t he speak to me?

But if he had just unintentionally walked into his own family’s store, would that mean that we were fated to be connected?

Chen Lele thought about it and suddenly remembered that Xu Fan, when buying the car, had also been holding a three or four-year-old adorable child. With this thought, Chen Lele’s somewhat feverish brain instantly cleared up a lot.

He’s a man with a child, Chen Lele, you mustn’t harbor any improper thoughts toward him.

Chen Lele’s eyebrows tightly furrowed, and she sighed to herself, “If only he weren’t married, without a child, how great that would be…”

On the other hand, upon leaving the door, Xu Fan immediately saw his underling Mo Luo Dan.

At that moment, his thick arms were carrying a chubby man in his forties, who had a shiny bald head, his face greasy with a heavy, gold necklace glittering brightly around his neck, and his eyes filled with fear.

It seemed that Mo Luo Dan’s peak strength in the Qi Drawing Realm truly had a certain degree of shock effect on him.

“Young Master, I’ve brought Hu Hai to you,” Mo Luo Dan said with a slight bow to Xu Fan, then tossed the chubby man he was carrying onto the ground.

“Big brother, could there be some misunderstanding between us? If my Hu Family has accidentally offended you, I’ll offer you tea and a toast to make amends. I, Hu Hai, am absolutely sincere in my regret,” the man pleaded.

“Are you the Hu Family’s boss, Hu Hai?” Xu Fan asked, staring straight at Hu Hai.

“Yes, yes, yes, I am Hu Hai. What can I do for you, young master?” Hu Hai, cunning as he was, also shamelessly started calling Xu Fan “young master” upon hearing Mo Luo Dan do so.

“Little Hu, your family’s minions have been up to no good, not only smashing up shops but also trying to kidnap a girl in broad daylight. Your Hu Family is quite formidable,” Xu Fan said coldly, enunciating each word to Hu Hai.

“Young master, it’s all because of my lack of discipline that I overlooked these scumbags of the Hu Family. I never expected they’d dare to commit crimes here. I, Hu Hai, won’t let them off easily. When I get back, I will definitely punish them with the strictest family law, so they will understand the meaning of having a reverent heart and being lawful citizens,” Hu Hai said, his face full of righteous indignation, spraying spittle as he spoke as if he were a man of justice delivering a speech.

As for the man called Brother Stone on the ground, Hu Hai truly wished he could skin him. If it weren’t for this damn fool causing trouble here, Hu Hai, the Hu Family’s boss, wouldn’t have been caught by this powerful man. Thinking this, Hu Hai truly desired to punish Brother Stone with family law, hence the genuine pained expression on his face.

Xu Fan lightly clapped his hands and said, “I’ve already given him a lesson earlier. Boss Hu, just don’t blame me for overstepping my bounds.”

“No, not at all, you did well in teaching him a lesson. If it weren’t for you, young master, in exposing this scourge, I wouldn’t have known that such a scumbag emerged from the Hu Family. I’ll take him back now, break his legs, to cool you down, young master,” Hu Hai said with a smile toward Xu Fan.
