Chapter 350 - 350 346 Li Zhaojun Asks for a Date

350: Chapter 346 Li Zhaojun Asks for a Date 350: Chapter 346 Li Zhaojun Asks for a Date Ye Fan put down the teacup and looked up at Li Zhaojun, only to find that she was observing him with her bright eyes.

Ye Fan touched his face involuntarily and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Zhaojun withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, “Nothing.”

While speaking, she poured another cup of tea for Ye Fan, and then one for herself.

She elegantly picked up the teacup and sipped the tea delicately.

Her posture and the temperament she exuded mesmerized Ye Fan.

After finishing her cup of tea, Li Zhaojun set down the teacup and looked at Ye Fan seriously, “Ye Fan, last Friday, thank you for saving my grandfather.”

“Heh, you’re welcome.

Grandfather is my elder, and I couldn’t just stand by,” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

“Is Grandfather feeling better now?”

“Yes, he’s better.

Also, I have persuaded Grandfather to hire a full-time nurse as you suggested.

Not only did he agree, but the nurse has already started his full-time care,” Li Zhaojun said.

Ye Fan nodded and lowered his head to drink tea.

“Ye Fan…” Li Zhaojun called.

Ye Fan raised his head and met Li Zhaojun’s beautiful eyes, his heart inexplicably sped up.

“…During the two days I took care of Grandfather, I seriously thought about our past interactions…” Li Zhaojun’s voice was low, “I’ve been biased against you from the beginning, which has strained our relationship throughout these months of marriage.”

“I’m sorry, I was wrong.

Can you forgive me?”

Li Zhaojun finished speaking, her gaze fixed on Ye Fan’s eyes.

Ye Fan took a deep breath and said softly, “I have never blamed you, so there’s nothing to forgive or not forgive.”

He genuinely never held a grudge against Li Zhaojun, his heart wasn’t so narrow; otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped her when she suggested a divorce.

Li Zhaojun, hearing this, was overjoyed, her beautiful face breaking into a radiant smile.

“So we…” she said excitedly.

However, she saw Ye Fan shaking his head slightly, causing her smile to freeze, and the words she was about to say were stopped.

All she heard was Ye Fan saying, “I also need some time to think about this marriage…”

“Are you still angry with me?” Li Zhaojun interrupted.

“I’m not angry, but there are some things I really need to think about,” Ye Fan replied straightforwardly.

Li Zhaojun’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she asked, “Is it because of Lu Xiaoman?”

“Not entirely,” Ye Fan said.

Li Zhaojun took a deep breath and said, “I understand.

You’re considering ending this marriage because it lacks love, right?”

“Yes, that is one consideration,” Ye Fan said honestly.

“We have not been married for long, and it’s just a nominal, secret marriage.

If it isn’t suitable, why force it?

Better to make a choice sooner rather than regret later.

So, the time frame we agreed upon last time is still valid.

Let’s give each other a month to thoroughly think things through.”

Li Zhaojun fell silent for a while, then nodded, the proposal had originally been hers.

“Alright.

I respect your decision,” she said.

“However, I have something to clarify to you.”

“I have made my decision, which is to continue with this marriage.”

“Also, I have started to have feelings for you, so this marriage is not entirely devoid of love.”

“I will try my best to make you truly accept me.”

Hearing this, Ye Fan was surprised as he looked at Li Zhaojun.

Instead of shyly avoiding his gaze after her bold statements, she met his eyes with her bright, clear gaze.

He had thought that Li Zhaojun might have some regrets, but given her proud and stubborn character, she would likely express them subtly.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhaojun directly said it to his face and even confessed that she had started liking him, even openly asking him to change his mind.

Surprised, Ye Fan suddenly found it a bit amusing and chuckled out loud.

“What are you laughing at?” Li Zhaojun asked.

Ye Fan laughed, “Hehe, nothing, I just find it a bit unbelievable.

Being confessed to by the most beautiful woman in Hua Hai, I’m sure all the men in town would be jealous of this scene.”

“And then?”

“And then, that’s it.” Ye Fan spread his hands and then stood up, “If there’s nothing else, I won’t bother you anymore.”

After he said that, he turned to leave.

“Ye Fan, let’s have dinner after work,” Li Zhaojun stood up and called from behind.

Ye Fan stopped, turned, and apologized, “Sorry, I already have plans tonight.”

He indeed had plans; he met with Lu Xiaoman at the Huachang Martial Arts Studio in the morning and of course, they had agreed to dine together that evening.

Li Zhaojun wanted to ask if it was with Lu Xiaoman, but she immediately suppressed the urge rationally.

“Alright, it seems my invitation was too late.” She smiled lightly, “How about tomorrow evening, do you have time then?”

Eh, being persistently invited to dinner by the most beautiful woman in Hua Hai was quite difficult to firmly reject.

Contemplating, Li Zhaojun added, “You and I had agreed last time to give this marriage a chance.

If you keep avoiding me, and we can’t communicate, how can that be giving it a chance?”

“Okay, let’s have dinner together tomorrow evening.

Um, let’s eat out,” Ye Fan nodded.

“That’s exactly what I intended.”

Eating at home, though convenient and hygienic, would only make the atmosphere between them stifling and awkward given their current relationship.

It’s better to have dinner outside, using the public setting to ease the awkward tension.

Back in his office, Ye Fan suddenly received a call from Mo Xiaoyan.

Ye Fan looked at the caller ID and frowned, wondering what Mo Xiaoyan wanted at this time?

Why did he have this uneasy feeling?

Even so, he still had to answer the phone.

As soon as he answered, Mo Xiaoyan’s cheerful laughter came through the phone, “Giggle, brother-in-law, am I interrupting your work?”

“Um, what is it?” Ye Fan responded vaguely.

“Hee hee, I heard from my sister that there’s a dinner party tonight, right?” Mo Xiaoyan’s playful voice came through.

Ye Fan’s face darkened slightly, thinking, I’m going on a date with your sister, why are you butting in?

“Yes, that’s right.” he replied.

“Hee hee, brother-in-law,” Mo Xiaoyan cooed.

Ye Fan immediately felt a chill, “What is it?”

“My mom and dad went back to Chongqing this afternoon, poor me will be alone for dinner tonight,” Mo Xiaoyan said in a pitiful tone.

Ye Fan let out a sigh speechlessly, the conversation having gotten to this point, he could only say, “Then you join us for dinner tonight.”

“Giggle, thank you, brother-in-law!

Hee hee, I knew you were the best!” Mo Xiaoyan exclaimed excitedly, “I’ll tell my sister right away!”

The next moment, Ye Fan heard the call disconnect.

Looking at his hung-up phone, Ye Fan gave a wry smile, it seemed this little aunt of his was a bit troublesome to handle.
