Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 634 - 634 630 Sorrowful

634: Chapter 630: Sorrowful 634: Chapter 630: Sorrowful Around eleven in the morning, Shangguan Wuqiu had finished cooking and Cui Wenwen helped carry the dishes and utensils out.

Ye Fan also lent a hand.

After all the dishes were served, the three of them sat down at the dining table and officially began to eat.

Looking at the table full of delicious-looking dishes, Ye Fan couldn’t help but feel his mouth water.

Before he had even picked up his chopsticks, Cui Wenwen eagerly picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed it in Ye Fan’s bowl, her beautiful eyes smiling as she said, “Cousin, you must try my mom’s cooking.

It’s really tasty!”

“Nonsense!” Shangguan Wuqiu softly chided.

Ye Fan smiled slightly and tasted the piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

It was indeed very good.

“The cooking is great,” Ye Fan turned to Shangguan Wuqiu and complimented her.

Shangguan Wuqiu blushed slightly and said, “Thank you for the compliment.”

At that moment, Cui Wenwen served Ye Fan a piece of chicken.

The meal lasted about an hour.

Cui Wenwen chattered incessantly, and Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu also had some conversation.

After the meal, Ye Fan and Cui Wenwen talked in the living room while Shangguan Wuqiu cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen.

However, Shangguan Wuqiu was quite fast, and in a short while, she joined Ye Fan and Cui Wenwen in the living room for a chat.

After about twenty minutes, Cui Wenwen coquettishly begged Ye Fan to go shopping with her.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment.

Cui Wenwen had called him “cousin” countless times, so he felt it was only right to accompany her shopping, and he agreed.

Cui Wenwen was delighted and wanted to invite Shangguan Wuqiu to join them.

However, Shangguan Wuqiu smiled and declined, leaving Cui Wenwen a bit moody.

But the next moment, she cheerfully went to her room to change clothes.

While Cui Wenwen was changing, Shangguan Wuqiu and Ye Fan finally had the chance to talk alone.

“Ye Fan, thank you for last Saturday,” Shangguan Wuqiu said gratefully, her beautiful eyes shining, clearly happy to see Ye Fan again.

“It’s nothing.

You’ve already thanked me,” Ye Fan responded calmly.

“Just now, I asked you to pretend not to know me,” Shangguan Wuqiu continued, “You must have been a bit confused, right?”

“That’s your privacy.

You don’t have to explain it to me,” Ye Fan answered.

Seeing that Ye Fan was not interested in her matters, Shangguan Wuqiu couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

Still, she bit her soft lower lip and took the initiative to say, “Last Saturday, I went back to my mom’s house.

It was the first time I’d been home in over a decade, but I don’t want Wenwen to know for now.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Wenwen,” Ye Fan said, without giving much thought to whether Shangguan Wuqiu’s words were true or not.

Shangguan Wuqiu noticed that Ye Fan still seemed uninterested and curious, which made her feel melancholic as she thought about how she was no longer a young girl and that her daughter was already as tall as her.

Why would Ye Fan, in his youth, bother with her?

With that thought, she unconsciously furrowed her brows slightly and stopped talking.

Ye Fan inadvertently saw the forlorn, wistful look on Shangguan Wuqiu’s face and was momentarily taken aback.

He suddenly began to reflect on whether his indifference had hurt her.

However, it wasn’t long before Cui Wenwen came out, dressed quickly.

Cui Wenwen rushed out excitedly, instantly lightening the mood.

Ye Fan quickly dismissed the image of Shangguan Wuqiu’s distressed appearance from his mind.

“Giggle, cousin, sorry to keep you waiting,” Cui Wenwen laughed, taking Ye Fan by the hand and walking towards the door, cheering, “Let’s go shopping!”

Shangguan Wuqiu watched Cui Wenwen taking Ye Fan to go shopping and couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.

Ye Fan accompanied Cui Wenwen shopping for two to three hours, buying her a few sets of clothes and some shoes.

Around four in the afternoon, Cui Wenwen suddenly exclaimed happily, “Cousin, cousin, look, that’s my new class teacher!”

Ye Fan looked in the direction Cui Wenwen was pointing and saw a beautiful figure that seemed somewhat familiar.

Upon closer look, it was Su Mengchen.

Just then, Cui Wenwen had already joyously run over to Su Mengchen, calling out, “Ms.

Su, Ms.

Su!”

Ye Fan couldn’t help but sigh, a small town was indeed a small town, casually walking down the street could lead to bumping into someone you know.

With a slight sigh, he also walked toward Su Mengchen.

“This is my cousin!

Ms.

Su,” Cui Wenwen introduced Ye Fan somewhat proudly.

Su Mengchen had already seen Ye Fan, and when Cui Wenwen introduced Ye Fan as her cousin, she couldn’t help but be surprised and shot Ye Fan an inquiring look.

She remembered that Ye Fan was not from Mingde County.

“Hehe, Ms.

Su, I didn’t expect to run into you here,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Su Mengchen cracked a smile and said, “It is quite a coincidence.”

Cui Wenwen was puzzled, “Cousin, Ms.

Su, you know each other?”

“Haha, of course we know each other,” Ye Fan laughed and then said to Su Mengchen, “Wenwen is my sworn cousin.

I didn’t expect that after she transferred schools, you became her class teacher.”

Knowing that Ye Fan and Su Mengchen really knew each other, Cui Wenwen became excited, which meant she could get extra care from Su Mengchen in the future.

“Ms.

Su, are you also out shopping?” she asked.

Su Mengchen glanced at Ye Fan and smiled, “Yes.”

“Hehe, just right, my cousin and I are also shopping.

Ms.

Su, let’s shop together,” Cui Wenwen suggested and reached out to loop arms with Su Mengchen.

Su Mengchen hesitated a bit, looking slightly reluctant.

Ye Fan said, “Let’s walk together.”

“Well…” Su Mengchen said, “Okay then.”

So, Cui Wenwen, in high spirits, walked arm in arm with Su Mengchen shopping.

After about an hour and a half of shopping, although Cui Wenwen and Su Mengchen did most of the talking, occasionally Su Mengchen also chatted with Ye Fan.

When the shopping was over and the street lights had just come on, Ye Fan, Su Mengchen, and Cui Wenwen walked into a restaurant that was quite elegantly decorated.

After ordering, Su Mengchen initiated a conversation with Ye Fan.

Cui Wenwen interjected a few times, but noticing that Su Mengchen responded briefly and continued chatting with Ye Fan, she sensed something and excused herself to go to the restroom.

Without Cui Wenwen, Su Mengchen and Ye Fan talked more formally.

“I thought we might not see each other again,” Su Mengchen said with a smile, “It seems Mingde County really is quite small.”

“Maybe,” Ye Fan replied.

“Have you been doing well lately?”

“Getting by,” Su Mengchen said.

“Like, spending weekends shopping alone.

What about you?

Have you been very busy with work?”

Ye Fan said, “Not really…”

The two slowly became more engaged in the conversation, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

They chatted until the food was all served.

Seeing that Cui Wenwen had not yet returned, Ye Fan couldn’t help but say, “How come Wenwen hasn’t come back yet?”

“Let’s make a call,” Su Mengchen realized then that she and Ye Fan had been chatting for quite a while.

Saying so, she took the initiative to call Cui Wenwen.

Before long, Cui Wenwen came back and said directly, “Sorry, I came back late, I had a stomach issue.”

“No worries,” Su Mengchen said with a friendly smile.
