Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 381 - 381 377 Li Zhaojun's Determination

381: Chapter 377: Li Zhaojun’s Determination 381: Chapter 377: Li Zhaojun’s Determination “…Who comforts the you that cries,

Who puts up your long hair,

Who made the wedding clothes for you,

Lalala…”

The last “lalala” chant, the voice going from exuberant to softer and softer, as if seeing the beautiful campus life fading away, seeing the female or male classmates that were once affectionately regarded drifting further and further away, many couldn’t help but shed tears.

Even some of Ye Fan’s admirers, who really opposed him, couldn’t help but moisten their eyes at this moment.

Finally, the singing and the piano got quieter and quieter, until they disappeared.

When Ye Fan stood up, everyone present still had their mouths opening and closing silently to the melody, “lalalaing.”

It wasn’t until Ye Fan bowed politely to say thanks that some people reacted, clapping furiously.

Following that, everyone awakened from the singing, clapping vigorously non-stop.

For a moment, the applause was like a tide.

Amidst the applause, Ye Fan walked down from the piano stage and headed straight for Li Zhaojun.

Along the way, a path opened up naturally by the crowd, regardless of gender.

Coming in front of Li Zhaojun, seeing her gorgeous face with two faint trails of tears, Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, “Let’s go.”

“Mhm,” Li Zhaojun responded softly, gently extending her hand to tenderly hook Ye Fan’s arm, walking together towards the exit.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun, their silhouettes perfectly harmonious, left.

Wang Qingyi, Tang Handed, Zhu Tianxiang, Chen Hao, and Tan Junjie, the five most outstanding men present, watched Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun leave, withdrew their gazes, looked at each other, and all shared a silent, bitter smile.

They came with great expectations, with Tang Handed and Tan Junjie even rushing back from Europe and the United States, respectively, but just like the song “Deskmate,” the female classmate Li Zhaojun, after all, drifted further and further away from them, never to have a chance again.

Exiting the party hall, taking the elevator down, and not until about to get into the car, did Li Zhaojun reluctantly let go of Ye Fan’s arm.

Getting into the Maserati, Ye Fan started the car and smoothly drove out of the parking lot, leaving Shengtang Private Club and merging into the ceaselessly moving traffic.

Although the outside was filled with a roaring stream of cars, the inside of the vehicle was very quiet, with “Yesterday Once More” playing at a very low volume, flowing quietly like moonlit water.

Li Zhaojun turned to look at Ye Fan, observing his handsome nose, his luminous, deep, and ocean-like eyes, his strong-jawed face.

She used to think Ye Fan was very rough, so rough that she couldn’t accept him.

Now, she realized that Ye Fan was delicate, refined, elegant, such finesse and elegance that only a great family’s full nurturing could achieve.

“…Ye Fan,” she called softly.

Ye Fan responded with a “Hmm,” turning his head and asking, “What is it?”

“You sing very well,” said Li Zhaojun, her eyes softer than ever before.

Ye Fan chuckled lightly and said, “Really?

I think so too.”

Then, he laughed out loud, “Haha, not bad acting the part just now, huh?”

“Yes, very good,” Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile, “You suffered an injustice tonight.”

“Haha, why feel wronged?

Since I’m going to be a makeshift shield, then I need to have the resolve of a shield.

Besides, didn’t I counter-attack strongly?

I certainly didn’t run off with my tail between my legs when they ganged up on me,” Ye Fan laughed.

“Of course, the fact that you had to leave the class reunion just half an hour after arriving is also a failing on my part as a makeshift shield,” Ye Fan added.

Li Zhaojun smiled and said, “Not at all.

Actually, I was just planning to see some old classmates.

I felt uncomfortable with all their flattery.

I probably wouldn’t have stayed much longer anyway.”

Then, she glanced at the time, raised her head to look at Ye Fan, and said, “It’s still early, let’s not go home just yet.

Shall we find a place to sit for a while?”

Ye Fan looked at the sky and, indeed, it was still quite early.

It hadn’t completely darkened yet, and the streetlights were just starting to come on.

“Alright, let’s find a place to eat first.

I’m hungry,” Ye Fan said.

“Okay,” Li Zhaojun agreed.

Fifteen to sixteen minutes later, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun were sitting face to face in a luxurious and elegant restaurant in a five-star hotel.

Under the bright and soft lights, looking at Li Zhaojun up close, Ye Fan found her fully dolled-up appearance to be strikingly beautiful and couldn’t help but think that her title as the most beautiful woman in Hua Hai was well-deserved.

Li Zhaojun also looked at Ye Fan intently.

He was smart in a suit and shoes, and looked very handsome.

The cleaned-up Ye Fan was quite a sight, especially his eyes, which were bright and full of spirit, deep as the sea.

It was her first time seeing such beautiful eyes.

The two looked at each other for a while when suddenly Ye Fan’s phone rang.

He immediately looked away and took out his phone to check.

Then, he looked up at Li Zhaojun and said, “I’m going to take this call.”

Without waiting for Li Zhaojun’s response, he stood up and hurriedly walked away.

Li Zhaojun watched Ye Fan’s tall and strapping figure as he walked away, and couldn’t help guessing to herself, “A call he can’t take in front of me and seems so urgent – could it be from Lu Xiaoman?”

She took a deep breath and thought to herself, “Ye Fan, you are my husband, I won’t let any other woman take you away!”

Ye Fan quickly found a quiet place to answer the phone, chuckling apologetically, “Hehe, Aunt Wanrong.”

“Hmph!” A pretend unhappy snort came from Tantai Wanrong over the phone.

“Aunt Wanrong, what did I do to make you so displeased?” Ye Fan chuckled, “Tell me, and I will definitely change!”

Hearing Ye Fan’s chuckle, Tantai Wanrong couldn’t keep a stern face and said, “You little rascal, you always worry me.

Tell me, what do you think of the girl Zhou Zhiqian?”

“Um, she’s good, good in every way.

She was chosen by you, how could she not be?” Ye Fan replied laughingly, though he was already starting to groan internally.

Tantai Wanrong lectured with frustration, “Since she’s such an excellent girl and she has feelings for you too, why did you dismiss her with a poor excuse?”

“That, that…

She’s too outstanding, I felt overwhelmed being with her,” Ye Fan said, sticking to his guns.

Tantai Wanrong snorted, “Do you think you’re fooling even me?

You feel overwhelmed?

Who are you kidding?

Don’t I know you?

Do you dislike the idea of arranged dates so much that you’re resistant to any girl I introduce to you?”

Ye Fan said nothing, tacitly affirming Tantai Wanrong’s guess.

“You must call Qian Zhi now, cheer her up, and arrange to meet her tomorrow,” Tantai Wanrong demanded.

Ye Fan gave a wry smile and pleaded, “Aunt Wanrong, can we not do this?

It’s all in the past now.

There’s a wound there, it’s uncomfortable.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?

What wound?

Do you think you’re in a soap opera?” Tantai Wanrong said annoyed.

Then she continued to persuade him earnestly, “Not to mention Qian Zhi’s outstanding qualities, the key point is she’s kind-hearted and gentle, straightforward and pure.

She’s a good girl that you wouldn’t find even if you searched with a lantern…”
