387: Chapter 383 Semi-Confession 387: Chapter 383 Semi-Confession Upon connecting the call, Ye Fan asked with a smile, “Aunt Wanrong, did my text message disturb your rest?”

“No,” came Tantai Wanrong’s gentle and sweet voice from the phone, “Were you out having fun just now?

I called you, but you didn’t know.”

“Mm-hmm,” replied Ye Fan, then added, “Aunt Wanrong, do you need something?”

“It’s nothing serious, just wondering how your date with Qian Zhi went today,” Tantai Wanrong said with concern.

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, debating whether he should mention having a girlfriend or not.

However, Tantai Wanrong misunderstood his silence as indicating trouble during the date and asked, “Why are you not speaking?

Did something happen?”

“Aunt Wanrong, I am quite ashamed,” Ye Fan carefully phrased his words.

“What is it?

Did you tell Qian Zhi that you wouldn’t continue dating her again?” asked Tantai Wanrong.

“No, it’s just that…” Ye Fan swallowed hard and continued, “I already have a girl I quite fancy, and she seems to have a good impression of me too.

I’m sorry, Aunt Wanrong, I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet…

Please don’t be angry, okay?”

He was a little worried that Tantai Wanrong would be angry.

After all, she had gone to great lengths to arrange blind dates for him, and now he was suddenly telling her he was interested in another girl, which would mean completely negating everything she had done — anyone might be a bit angry in her shoes.

Therefore, he only dared to tell her he had someone he was fond of.

“Oh?” Tantai Wanrong replied with a non-surprise reaction, having already concluded from Ye Fan’s blind date process with Zhou Zhiqian that he had a way with girls and wasn’t a dull and wooden man.

The real reason she insisted on setting up blind dates for Ye Fan wasn’t because she was genuinely concerned he couldn’t find a girlfriend, but because of another reason that both of them were afraid to acknowledge.

From the beginning, Ye Fan had some ideas about her, even wanting to call her “sister” once.

She chose to help Ye Fan find a girlfriend through blind dates in order to maintain a stable relationship with him.

Then she asked with interest, “So, how are the girl’s conditions?”

“Very good, mainly a great personality,” Ye Fan said.

Tantai Wanrong remained skeptical.

Given Ye Fan’s social standing, could he really meet a girl whose conditions were that good?

However good they might be, she didn’t believe they could be better than Zhou Zhiqian, whom she had introduced.

Ye Fan then said, “So, Aunt Wanrong, I plan to go all out in pursuing this girl.

I don’t intend to continue seeing Zhou Zhiqian.

Is that okay?”

“Not okay!” Tantai Wanrong immediately objected, “You have such a good girl like Zhiqian to let go of, but want to pursue someone far beneath her.

I don’t agree!”

Ye Fan couldn’t help but widen his eyes, concerned that Tantai Wanrong would be angry.

However, she wasn’t angry; she was instead trying to intervene in his choice and wanted him to be with Zhou Zhiqian, whom she thought was better suited for him.

“Aunt Wanrong, you’re mistaken.

The girl I fancy is actually better off than Zhou Zhiqian,” Ye Fan said.

Tantai Wanrong responded, “I don’t believe it!

You see her through the eyes of a lover, of course, you think she’s better than Zhiqian.

Just to put it simply, in terms of family background alone, can your girl compare?

Zhiqian comes from a good family background, she’s an only child, and being with her would be a great boost to your future career…”

Listening to Tantai Wanrong’s earnest and caring words, Ye Fan suddenly felt that she truly cared for him beyond the initial gratitude he felt.

Ye Fan was moved, but having already brought it up, he had to stick to his guns.

He couldn’t just abandon Lu Xiaoman because of Tantai Wanrong and choose Zhou Zhiqian instead.

Besides, if one were to speak of good conditions, Li Zhaojun’s were surely the best.

“Aunt Wanrong, her family background is probably better than Zhou Zhiqian’s,” Ye Fan said, “The Mo family from Chongqing.”

“The Chongqing Mo family?” Tantai Wanrong was surprised, and then she remembered Mo Xiaoyan, whom she had met through work, “Is it Mo Xiaoyan?”

“No, it’s her twin sister,” Ye Fan clarified.

Tantai Wanrong pondered.

While the Mo family background was certainly better than that of Zhou Zhiqian, she couldn’t guarantee the girl didn’t have the temper of a spoiled and willful young heiress and couldn’t measure up to Zhou Zhiqian’s gentleness, kindness, and simplicity.

Thus, she still felt Zhou Zhiqian was the better choice.

“Let’s do this, bring her to me tomorrow,” she suggested.

Ye Fan thought about having to see Zhao Tianya the next day, which conflicted with his schedule, so he replied, “She might not be free tomorrow.

How about the day after tomorrow?”

“That’ll work,” agreed Tantai Wanrong.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan couldn’t help but think about what Tantai Wanrong had mentioned regarding Mo Xiaoyan, musing, “The night before last, I couldn’t control myself and kissed her forcefully…

I wonder how she’s doing now?

She still hasn’t told sister Xiaoman.”

“Never mind, I’ll call her tomorrow to ask.

She shouldn’t be taking it too hard, right?

Wait, better to call her now.”

With that thought, Ye Fan found Mo Xiaoyan’s mobile number and dialed it.

The phone rang several times before finally being answered.

“Stinkin’ Ye Fan, calling me at this time and waking me up, what do you mean by that?” Mo Xiaoyan’s voice scolded him immediately from the phone.

Hearing this tone, Ye Fan chuckled to himself, realizing his concerns had been unnecessary.

He laughed and said, “It’s not even twelve o’clock yet, why are you sleeping so early?”

“Hmph, Miss has a bad mood, is there a problem with going to bed early?” Mo Xiaoyan grumbled angrily, “You only think to call me at this hour, I should just go ahead and tell my sister!”

Ye Fan gave a bitter smile and said, “Sorry, the other night wasn’t intentional…”

“It was intentional, not unintentional!

Hmph, I hate you!

I never want to see you again!” Mo Xiaoyan interrupted Ye Fan with a bit of agitation in her voice, “I’m going back to Chongqing tomorrow!”

“You said your family tasked you with managing the business in Hua Hai, didn’t you?

How will you start work if you’re not commanding operations from this key city?” Ye Fan inquired.

“Ah ah ah…” Mo Xiaoyan was stomping her feet in frustration on the other end of the line.

What kind of thing was he saying?

Hearing Mo Xiaoyan’s frustrated sounds, Ye Fan immediately realized he had said the wrong thing and hastily apologized, chuckling, “Hehe, Xiaoyan, don’t be mad, I was wrong; I apologize to you.

Whatever the reason was last night, I must apologize.”

“You’re not going back to Chongqing, right?” Ye Fan said, seemingly pleading.

Whether or not Mo Xiaoyan went back to Chongqing was not his concern; it was her frustrated cries that made him worry she wasn’t coping well.

Mo Xiaoyan ceased her crying out and asked, “What right do you have to prevent me from returning to Chongqing?”

“Do I need a reason?” Ye Fan asked.

Mo Xiaoyan snorted, “Do I not?”

“Do I need one?” Ye Fan cheekily replied.

Mo Xiaoyan pressed further, “Do I not?”

…

…

The two went back and forth between “Do I need one?” and “Do I not?” for quite some time until Mo Xiaoyan couldn’t handle Ye Fan’s cheekiness anymore.

“I’m done with you, I’m going to sleep!” she grumbled and immediately hung up the phone.

Ye Fan, holding his phone, shook his head and smiled.

He wasn’t concerned about Mo Xiaoyan anymore.
