Chapter 320 - 320 316 Confessing to Lu Xiaoman
320: Chapter 316: Confessing to Lu Xiaoman 320: Chapter 316: Confessing to Lu Xiaoman At six in the evening, Ye Fan drove to Huayang Martial Arts Hall to pick up Lu Xiaoman.
Ye Fan entered the martial arts hall and found that the renovation was about 80 to 90 percent complete, with only some finer details left to be done.
Accompanied by Lu Xiaoman, who was wearing a safety helmet, Ye Fan took an interested tour around the entire martial arts hall and nodded in satisfaction.
The overall decoration was quite in line with his expectation, contemporary without losing traditional Chinese charm.
Inspired by the decor of Gulan Martial Arts Hall, Ye Fan had screens installed in the hall.
The screens, with traditional Chinese characters written in bold brush strokes, added a significant cultural atmosphere to the place.
In terms of environment, it had reached a mid-to-high-end level.
Taking the elevator down to the underground parking garage, Ye Fan asked, “You’ve bought your car, right?”
“Yes, a Subaru BRZ, for 270,000,” Lu Xiaoman led Ye Fan to a brand new silver-gray sedan and pointed at it.
“But, it’s not for the martial arts hall, it’s my personal car.”
Ye Fan looked over the new car and joked, “This car is much better than my Citroën.
From now on, when we go out, I should just ride in your car.”
“Hee hee, sure,” Lu Xiaoman smiled.
About twenty minutes later, in a high-end and elegant restaurant, Ye Fan and Lu Xiaoman sat opposite each other with several delicious dishes on the table.
Since she had to drive, Lu Xiaoman didn’t order any alcohol for Ye Fan.
Gently, Lu Xiaoman served Ye Fan a bowl of clear and fragrant pig stomach chicken soup, then filled a bowl for herself.
“Ye Fan, I’m planning to invest in Huayang Martial Arts Hall,” Lu Xiaoman said.
“What do you think?”
Ye Fan smiled and replied, “That’s a great idea.
Having a share in the martial arts hall means not working entirely for others anymore.”
“Right.
Originally, Master Shi trusted me to be the general manager of the martial arts hall.
Although my circumstances have changed, I don’t want to let him down,” Lu Xiaoman said.
“So, I’ve chosen to invest.
This way, I can keep my promise to Master Shi and own my business.”
Ye Fan nodded, this was as he had expected.
“I plan to invest over 40 percent,” Lu Xiaoman added.
Ye Fan said, “I know about this.
Shi Sheng called me at noon.”
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Lu Xiaoman seriously and said, “Xiaoman, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Okay, tell me,” Lu Xiaoman nodded.
Ye Fan said, “Actually, I’m the major shareholder of Huayang Martial Arts Hall, with 80 percent of the shares.”
As he spoke, he paid close attention to Lu Xiaoman’s expression and noticed she didn’t seem surprised.
He couldn’t help asking, “Did you already know?”
“Mhm, I guessed as much,” Lu Xiaoman said affectionately.
“Thank you for being so careful with my ridiculously sensitive and fragile ego.”
Seeing that Lu Xiaoman didn’t feel deceived or hurt, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, “No, your self-esteem is not ridiculous at all.
I like you, and it’s not just your looks that matter to me but also your kindness, gentleness, self-respect, self-love, and strength.”
“I understand,” Lu Xiaoman said.
She took a deep breath and suddenly showed a playful expression, “Can I take what you’ve just said as a confession?”
“Ha ha, of course, you can,” Ye Fan laughed heartily.
After so many dates and holding hands so often, failing to give her the title of girlfriend wouldn’t be right.
Lu Xiaoman’s face lit up with a happy and blissful smile, her beautiful eyes curving like crescent moons in the sky.
“After dinner, shall we go shopping together?” Lu Xiaoman asked, a rare initiative from her.
“Sure,” Ye Fan smiled.
Watching Lu Xiaoman’s joyful and shy demeanor, Ye Fan felt his heart softening immeasurably, and couldn’t help but reach out to hold her hand.
Holding Lu Xiaoman’s slender, smooth, and boneless jade hand, suddenly feeling her grip his in return, their fingers eventually intertwined.
However, their blissful and cozy atmosphere was soon disrupted by the ringing of a phone.
Lu Xiaoman gave Ye Fan an apologetic look, then withdrew her hand and took her cell phone out of her bag.
“Sis, where are you?
Didn’t you say we’re going shopping tonight?
Why haven’t you come to the hotel?” The voice of Mo Xiaoyan came through the phone.
Lu Xiaoman gasped and apologized, “Sorry, sis, I got too busy with work today and forgot about it.”
Mo Xiaoyan had made plans with her to go shopping tonight just the day before, but after receiving Ye Fan’s call for a dinner date at noon, Lu Xiaoman had intended to immediately call Mo Xiaoyan to reschedule their shopping for the next evening.
However, an incident at the martial arts hall’s renovation site required the project manager’s attention, and she had to deal with work first, eventually getting so busy that she forgot to call Mo Xiaoyan.
“No problem, just hurry over then,” Mo Xiaoyan laughed.
“Mom and Dad are waiting for you to have dinner.”
“You have dinner with Mom and Dad.
I have something tonight, so I can’t go shopping with you.
Maybe tomorrow or the day after,” Lu Xiaoman said.
Mo Xiaoyan asked with concern, “Sis, what’s going on?”
Lu Xiaoman looked up at Ye Fan across from her and whispered, “I, I’m having dinner with Ye Fan, so tonight…”
“You’re having dinner with your brother-in-law?!” The voice over the phone suddenly excited.
“Where are you eating?
I want to join too!”
“Sis, brother-in-law?” Lu Xiaoman was startled.
Wasn’t her sister always against her being with Ye Fan?
Why was she suddenly calling him ‘brother-in-law’ so smoothly, without any reluctance?
Was the sun rising from the west, or had she misheard?
“Yes,” Mo Xiaoyan said boldly.
“If he’s dating you, isn’t he my future brother-in-law?”
“Sis, don’t talk nonsense.
Ye Fan and I…” Lu Xiaoman hurriedly exclaimed, her cheeks flushing red.
“Hee hee, got it, got it!” Mo Xiaoyan laughed, interrupting Lu Xiaoman.
“Sis, where are you having dinner?
I’m serious.
Your beloved sister is still hungry here.
You can’t just think of yourself.
Let me join…”
Lu Xiaoman was so teased by Mo Xiaoyan that she didn’t know what to do, looking up at Ye Fan for his opinion.
Ye Fan nodded with a smile.
Only then did Lu Xiaoman say, “Tianyuan Jinlun Hotel, North Da Road of Liujia Hui.”
“Hee hee, got it!
Don’t eat too fast, I’m on my way!” Mo Xiaoyan said excitedly.
Lu Xiaoman was about to remind her to drive safely and not rush, but the phone was already disconnected with a “beep beep” sound.
“Ye Fan, my sister…” Lu Xiaoman started apologetically.
Ye Fan waved his hand to interrupt Lu Xiaoman, “It’s okay.
It’s just a couple more chopsticks.”
