Chapter 666 - 666 662 Misunderstanding Cleared

666: Chapter 662 Misunderstanding Cleared 666: Chapter 662 Misunderstanding Cleared Hearing Ye Fan mention Hua Hai city, Shangguan Wuqiu’s smile instantly disappeared, and she fell into her memories without immediately responding to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan thought Shangguan Wuqiu didn’t want to talk about Hua Hai city, so he said, “Heh, let’s talk about something else.”

“Actually, I went home that day,” Shangguan Wuqiu said as she lifted her pretty face.

“Uh?” Ye Fan replied, a bit confused.

Shangguan Wuqiu continued to explain, “I had left home and been on the run for over a decade.

That day was the first time I went back home…”

Then, Shangguan Wuqiu told Ye Fan all about her experiences.

Only after hearing her story did Ye Fan understand he had misunderstood Shangguan Wuqiu.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but admire her.

A woman who could raise her daughter alone, especially under circumstances where she couldn’t show her face for work.

But, could it be a bit too stubborn?

Was it necessary to be so headstrong with her own parents?

“Wenwen has grown up in Mingde County all these years.

I don’t want her to know about her grandmother’s home just yet,” Shangguan Wuqiu said.

“That’s why I asked you to pretend not to recognize me that day.

Also, please help me keep it a secret for now; don’t tell Wenwen.”

“I see,” Ye Fan said with a sudden realization.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Wenwen.

This sort of thing should be shared by you.”

“Thank you,” Shangguan Wuqiu replied.

Having finished their tofu brain meal, Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu left the shop, returned smoothly to the car, got in, and then headed home.

Since they were heading back and had already spent quite a bit of time, Ye Fan increased the speed of the car and got back to Mingde County in an hour and a half.

When Ye Fan stopped the car downstairs at Shangguan Wuqiu’s place, he said, “We’ve arrived, I won’t accompany you upstairs.”

Shangguan Wuqiu checked the time and looked at Ye Fan, “It’s almost dinner time now; why don’t you continue and have dinner at my place?”

Just as Ye Fan was about to decline, Shangguan Wuqiu added, “I initially intended to just treat you to a meal today, but you ended up spending half the day driving and taking me for a ride.

I really feel sorry.

So, I would really appreciate if you could have dinner at my place.”

Seeing Shangguan Wuqiu’s sincere expression and having had a good conversation on the ride, Ye Fan felt bad to refuse and nodded, “Alright.

Sorry for the intrusion.”

“It’s no intrusion, not at all,” Shangguan Wuqiu said enthusiastically, her bright eyes illuminating the whole car.

They got out of the car and walked side by side to the stairwell.

Since the staircase was a bit narrow, while climbing, Shangguan Wuqiu was very close to Ye Fan, and though no physical contact occurred, her subtle fragrance continuously wafted into Ye Fan’s nostrils.

Entering Shangguan Wuqiu’s home, Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu went into Cui Wenwen’s room to see her, but the sleepy cat was still deeply asleep, with no intentions of waking up.

However, Shangguan Wuqiu also did not intend to wake Cui Wenwen.

Walking out of Cui Wenwen’s room, Shangguan Wuqiu said to Ye Fan, “Ye Fan, you can watch TV in the living room, and I’ll go cook.

It won’t take long.”

“Heh, let me help you,” Ye Fan said, feeling it wouldn’t be right to just sit and wait.

Shangguan Wuqiu wouldn’t let Ye Fan help, quickly declining.

After a bit of back and forth, Shangguan Wuqiu still refused to let Ye Fan help.

Ye Fan had no choice but to sit on the living room sofa and watch the news on TV.

In about an hour, Shangguan Wuqiu had the meal ready.

At dinner time, Shangguan Wuqiu intended to wake Cui Wenwen, but Cui Wenwen still felt dizzy and didn’t want to eat, only wanting to sleep.

She got up to drink a glass of water, returned to bed, and fell back into a deep sleep, unresponsive to any calls.

Thus, only Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu had dinner together.

During the meal, the two of them didn’t sit face to face but next to each other.

They chatted while eating, and Shangguan Wuqiu hesitated for a moment before picking up a piece of chicken and placing it in Ye Fan’s bowl.

“Uh?” Ye Fan was slightly surprised and turned his head to look at Shangguan Wuqiu.

With her cheeks slightly red and a shy expression, Shangguan Wuqiu explained, “I saw that piece of chicken looked good…if you don’t like it, I, I can take it back.”

She reached out with her chopsticks as she spoke.

Ye Fan moved his rice bowl aside, avoiding Shangguan Wuqiu’s chopsticks, and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

In many places, it was customary for the host to pick food for their guests, so Ye Fan was not too averse to it.

“Mm.” Shangguan Wuqiu responded in a low voice with her head slightly lowered, then looked up at Ye Fan as he put the piece of chicken into his mouth.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn’t mind, she broke into a smile.

After eating, Shangguan Wuqiu cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them, while Ye Fan sat on the living room sofa watching TV news.

Shangguan Wuqiu was quick and efficient, and in less than ten minutes, she had washed the dishes, changed into clean clothes, cut some fruit, and brought it over to the coffee table in front of the sofa where Ye Fan was sitting.

She then sat down beside him.

“Ye Fan, eat some fruit.” Shangguan Wuqiu gently picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and brought it to Ye Fan’s lips.

Ye Fan said “Thank you” and reached out to take the toothpick.

However, Shangguan Wuqiu lightly laughed and said, “You don’t need to lift a finger, just open your mouth.”

With that, she brought the apple slice to Ye Fan’s lips.

“How can I accept this?” Ye Fan said, feeling embarrassed.

Shangguan Wuqiu giggled, watching Ye Fan as she kept the apple slice in front of his mouth.

Ye Fan reluctantly opened his mouth, and at that moment, Shangguan Wuqiu placed the apple slice in his mouth.

Ye Fan quickly chewed the apple slice and hurriedly said, “Hehe, I can grab the fruit myself.

Your service is too good to accept.”

“It’s okay.” Shangguan Wuqiu smiled and said, “You’ve saved me twice, and I know you are a capable person.

I don’t have much ability and might never be able to repay your kindness, so I can only do some trivial things.

For example, cooking for you.”

“Please don’t refuse, okay?” she said, her beautiful eyes pleadingly meeting Ye Fan’s gaze.

Seeing her pleading gaze, Ye Fan felt a bit soft-hearted, and since it was no big deal, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Wuqiu was overjoyed and threw herself into Ye Fan’s arms, gratefully saying, “Thank you.”

With her tender and warm body in his arms, especially feeling her chest gently pressing against him, Ye Fan felt a bit awkward and opened his arms, not daring to move.

“This, this, don’t be so excited,” he hastily said.

Hearing this, Shangguan Wuqiu let go of Ye Fan.

Her cheeks were red as she quietly said, “Sorry, I scared you.”

“Hehe, no problem.” Ye Fan denied, albeit insincerely.

Shangguan Wuqiu, hearing his words, immediately brightened up, then turned around, picked a grape, peeled it, and fed it to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn’t know whether to enjoy it or suffer as he ate the grape.
