Chapter 1473: Chapter 1507: Whoa! The Tomboy Is Learning to Wear an Evening Gown Too!

In the evening, following the address Su Ni had sent earlier.

Lin Zifeng arrived at a well-known high-end hotel in Zhonghai City. Last time, when Lin Zifeng helped Su Ni defeat the drug lord, Su Ni had asked for his number, so to make amends for any debt she felt she had towards him, she called Lin Zifeng two days ago, asking to meet for dinner. However, Lin Zifeng had too many things on his plate at the moment, so he postponed it.

Seeing that Lin Zifeng agreed today, Su Ni was overjoyed.

When he opened the private room, Su Ni had been waiting inside for quite some time.

“Officer Su, this is quite a rare occasion. What made you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?” Pushing open the door to the private room, Su Ni was sitting quietly alone at the dining table, silently waiting for Lin Zifeng.

Su Ni’s outfit today was quite striking.

Always clueless about what a lady is like, her attire tonight was practically a cops-and-robbers challenge for her. A pure black evening gown outlined her already slender figure perfectly.

Su Ni’s fiery figure was already quite prominent, especially with this evening gown making her appear more poised. Although still a bit different from a ladylike demeanor, she looked pretty good.

Particularly with the charm that the evening gown brought when she wore it, no matter how you looked, it seemed a bit out of place, even somewhat awkward.

“Come in.” Su Ni stood up nervously, not accustomed to evening gowns. For a moment she didn’t know where to put her hands, making her look particularly awkward.

It was as if her hands were superfluous.

Her eyes flickered, deliberately observing Lin Zifeng’s subtle changes.

And Lin Zifeng was also observing her changes today. Honestly, this violent queen, a complete tomboy, actually looked quite nice in an evening gown.

But those prominently colored breasts—cough, cough, why does it always come back to her breasts.

“What are you looking at?”

Su Ni felt Lin Zifeng was staring at her, and especially in an outfit she wasn’t used to, she suddenly felt on edge and extremely insecure.

Damn this crappy outfit, with its chest and skin exposure. Even if someone put a knife to my throat, I swear I’d never wear it again.

On one hand, Su Ni complained in her heart. On the other, Lin Zifeng was completely unaware.

He just felt this violent queen had transformed.

Since when could a violent tomboy dress as elegantly as a noblewoman, it was a miracle.

“I’m not looking.” Lin Zifeng defended.

“Your eyes were fixed on me, and you’re saying you weren’t looking?”

Su Ni’s face blushed even more.

“My eyes were on you only to admire, and there’s a fundamental difference between admiring and looking. It’s like when I see a beauty on the street, I look at her like appreciating an antique. If it’s an uncle, I might really just look. Admiring brings memories and various imaginations. But ‘looking’ is just simply looking.”

Lin Zifeng replied.

“…”

Su Ni was left speechless.

“Sit down.”

“Okay.” Lin Zifeng grinned and quickly sat down.

“Wow! Officer Su, have you been promoted again? So many dishes, I guess a month’s salary wouldn’t cover it!”

The table was filled with the hotel’s signature dishes. Though not top-tier, even a dish of peanuts could fetch a ‘beef’ price in the hotel.

Lin Zifeng figured that this meal would cost thousands.

“Pretty much.” Su Ni nodded.

Indeed she was promoted. Although still a police chief, the bonus awarded from above wasn’t small.

“Is this the reason you asked me out for dinner today?”

Lin Zifeng didn’t touch his chopsticks. Before figuring out Su Ni’s purpose, he felt it was unnecessary to eat this meal.

“What, what did you think it was?”

Su Ni was evasive, her words halting. Her eyes fluttered, avoiding his gaze.

“Stop playing games. I think it’s better if Officer Su lays everything out. Inviting me for such a meal, I really can’t eat without understanding why.” Lin Zifeng dropped his smile and withdrew his hand.

If Su Ni didn’t tell the truth, he really didn’t dare to touch his chopsticks.

There’s a saying, it’s hard to speak when you’ve eaten someone else’s food, and taking their gifts makes you less assertive. He understood this thoroughly.

Su Ni thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally decided to tell him everything.

“Here’s the deal. Remember the day you helped us defeat the drug lord. Your appearance was unexpected. When my father reported to his superiors, he intended to mention you. But upon reflection, since you don’t like being exposed, the credit naturally fell on me and my father.

We received praise from above, and it should’ve been your reward. That credit landed on us, and after discussing with my father, we felt uneasy. So, we decided to invite you to a meal. At least, the praise from above includes part of your contribution.”

Su Ni’s voice grew smaller towards the end, clearly lacking confidence.

“That’s it?” Lin Zifeng raised an eyebrow.

“That’s it. Nothing more.”

“So this meal is somewhat a way to express gratitude?”

“What do you think?” Su Ni pouted, her milky-white skin emanating a creamy fragrance.

“Alright. In that case, if I don’t eat this meal, wouldn’t it be a waste?”

“Yes!”

Su Ni nodded like a wave drum.

Under the table, she tightly clenched her little fists, making an effort to present herself a bit more ladylike.

Today’s evening gown signified some breakthrough for her.

At least, wearing this evening gown tonight, she nearly gritted her teeth with difficulty, like a heroic resister, forcing herself to try it…

“May I ask you another question?”

Su Ni’s nervous little heart was throbbing madly. Her guilty eyes avoided his face, fearing he’d see right through her lack of confidence and flaws.

“What’s the matter? Go ahead and ask.”

Lin Zifeng picked up a slice of fish, and its glossy exterior increased his appetite. Once in his mouth, the taste was even richer.

Though many like tender fish, Lin Zifeng preferred firm fish, savoring its chewiness…

“The question I want to ask is…”

Due to nerves, Su Ni tightly tugged at the tablecloth, nearly pulling it off.

“I… I want to ask is…”

“If there’s a question, just ask. I’ll answer everything I know honestly.” Lin Zifeng continued eating the fish, thinking it was truly delicious.

But noticing the tablecloth moving all the dishes, Lin Zifeng’s chopsticks paused.

With a smiling face: “Officer Su, does this mean you didn’t invite me just to eat?”

“Ah! What! I, I did invite you to eat!”

Su Ni panicked, and her hands yanked even more forcefully at the tablecloth.

“I just wanted to eat a piece of fish, and you’re pulling the tablecloth. From in front of me to in front of you. What, this is also a favorite dish you don’t want me to touch?”

“No, no!” Su Ni quickly retracted her hands in fear.

“Didn’t you want to ask me a question just now? What question? Go ahead.” Lin Zifeng didn’t mind her toothy grin, recognizing her nerves.
