I didn’t have time to sing anymore, not even time to listen to music.”

“So that means you haven’t sung for several years,” Zhou Zhiqian said with a sigh.

“But just now, you sang exceptionally well.

That can only mean that you had a very solid musical foundation before.”

“This is no longer just a hobby, it’s a skill!” Zhou Zhiqian laughed.

“Alright, I forgive you for deceiving me.”

Her gaze towards Ye Fan grew sharper and more interested.

Tantai Wanrong’s stunningly beautiful face also revealed a smile.

Around half-past ten, Ye Fan and the others left the KTV.

In the parking lot, Ye Fan was about to drive home on his own, but Tantai Wanrong insisted on escorting Zhou Zhiqian back.

So, Ye Fan had to drive Zhou Zhiqian home.

Close to eleven, Ye Fan accompanied Zhou Zhiqian by car to the gates of a villa community named Hua Hai.

After Zhou Zhiqian parked the car on the side of the road in front of the community’s gate, Ye Fan got out of the car and walked towards her.

Under the bright streetlights, they stood a meter apart, facing each other.

Zhou Zhiqian’s pretty face bore a smile of youthful innocence as she slightly looked up into Ye Fan’s eyes and said, “Ye Fan, I had a lot of fun tonight.”

“Yeah, so did I,” Ye Fan replied.

“However, I’m still skeptical about the other hobbies you mentioned,” Zhou Zhiqian said with a light laugh.

“So…”

She deliberately left her sentence hanging, and Ye Fan sighed softly, having no choice but to pick up where she left off with a smile, “You’re welcome to test them out.

Let’s find a place to play chess on Saturday.”

In fact, the most suitable time to ask her out would be tomorrow, to strike while the iron was hot.

But Ye Fan had no intention of taking things further, so he deliberately set the second meeting three days later to cool off their budding relationship.

Zhou Zhiqian had thought that Ye Fan would invite her to meet again tomorrow, and was somewhat disappointed when he pushed it to Saturday.

Being a girl, she couldn’t say much, so she just smiled and agreed.

After bidding Zhou Zhiqian farewell, Ye Fan drove back to the Dingsheng International Hotel.

At half-past eleven, Tantai Wanrong called him.

“Are you home yet?” Tantai Wanrong asked on the phone.

Ye Fan responded affirmatively.

Tantai Wanrong continued, worriedly asking, “Did you take the chance to arrange a second meeting with Zhou Zhiqian?”

“I did, for Saturday,” Ye Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wanrong felt a mix of frustration and disappointment.

“How could you just ignore my advice?”

She didn’t believe that Ye Fan was ignorant of the advantage of seizing the moment.

“You’ve wronged me there.

I have business at the company tomorrow and the day after; there’s not much time.

Besides, I agreed to go to a chess club with her.

It’s not good to go at night; Saturday during the day is more appropriate,” Ye Fan explained.

Tantai Wanrong had no choice but to concede, finally saying, “Alright then.

Remember, Zhou Zhiqian is a very nice girl.

Don’t let her slip away.”

“I know,” Ye Fan responded vaguely.

The next morning, around eleven, Ye Fan received a call from Shen Yan.

It turned out that the music contract Ye Fan had authorized Shen Yan to handle for the song “Only Love” was signed, and they had received a sum of money.

After deducting the previously agreed upon 100,000 yuan, the rest of the money was donated under the name Qiu Ling Er to a remote mountain area’s Hope Primary School.

Shen Yan called Ye Fan to inform him about the matter and to ask Ye Fan to come to Yan Yusong’s house after work in the afternoon, where she would hand over the hundred thousand yuan to him.

Ye Fan thanked Shen Yan and promised to visit Yan Yusong’s house after work.

After discussing the serious matters, Ye Fan chatted leisurely with Shen Yan for a few minutes.

During the chat, Ye Fan learned that Shen Yan’s activities in Hua Hai were almost coming to an end, including fan meetings, attending various events, and shooting endorsement commercials.

However, Shen Yan did not plan to leave Hua Hai so soon, as she intended to stay in Hua Hai for a while to recharge and continue her studies by Yan Yusong’s side.

As a singer celebrity, she didn’t need to rush around different drama sets like a movie star, so she had a relatively free schedule.

At lunch, Hu Jing was disappointed once again.

When she asked if Friday was available, Ye Fan could only answer no.

Friday was the fixed time for him to accompany Li Zhaojun to visit Old Master Li.

Hu Jing had been trying to make an appointment from Monday to Friday without success, and Ye Fan himself felt a bit embarrassed.

“Hehe, I’m very sorry.

How about this, Saturday or Sunday, I’ll treat you to a meal,” Ye Fan said.

He was not sure if he would be available on Saturday because he had made plans with Zhou Zhiqian for Saturday afternoon.

It was possible that after coming out of the chess club, he might have to treat Zhou Zhiqian to a meal as well.

Hu Jing giggled, “Sure.

But it’s one thing for you to treat me, and another for me to treat you.

Since you’re not available this week to let me treat you, let’s postpone it to next week.

Of course, you still have to treat me to a meal on Saturday or Sunday.”

Ye Fan knew Hu Jing was looking for opportunities to have meals with him, but he agreed anyway.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Li Zhaojun called Ye Fan to her office.

Ye Fan knocked and entered Li Zhaojun’s office, where she was sitting at the coffee table brewing tea, and it was almost ready—clearly to enable Ye Fan to drink the tea she brewed as soon as he arrived.

Ye Fan sat down on the sofa opposite the coffee table, and Li Zhaojun poured him a cup of freshly brewed premium tea.

After tasting the tea, Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun and asked, “What work arrangements do you have?”

“It’s not about work, but a personal matter,” Li Zhaojun said.

“This Saturday evening, I have a college reunion, and I hope you can accompany me.”

Ye Fan did not speak immediately.

Li Zhaojun continued to explain, “Since we’re secretly married, none of my classmates know I’m married.

There might be some situations at the reunion that neither of us want to see.

So, I hope you can come with me to the reunion and pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit, to act as a shield.”

“No problem.

That’s what I should do,” Ye Fan said.

As long as they were not officially divorced, he certainly did not want to see other men clinging to Li Zhaojun.

After a pause, Ye Fan asked, “Do I need to prepare anything?”

Li Zhaojun’s gaze fell on the clothes and shoes Ye Fan was wearing and said, “After we visit Grandpa tomorrow afternoon, let’s go to the mall together and get you a new set of clothes, including shoes.”

“Getting new gear, huh?” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

Li Zhaojun nodded and said, “Correct.

If you insist on wearing your usual clothes to the reunion on Saturday, I’m afraid it will not only fail to serve as a shield, but it might backfire.”

Ye Fan understood what Li Zhaojun meant.

Some of her classmates were either successful or from wealthy families.

If they noticed that Li Zhaojun’s “boyfriend” was wearing clothes worth only a hundred or two hundred yuan, it would only lead them to court and pursue Li Zhaojun even more aggressively.

“Okay,” Ye Fan agreed.
