Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 681 - 681 677 Turbulence

681: Chapter 677: Turbulence 681: Chapter 677: Turbulence Driving back to the Huayang Martial Arts School, Ye Fan had a chat with Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman said apologetically, “Ye Fan, Xiaoman she…”

“Hehe, it’s nothing.” Ye Fan immediately waved his hand to interrupt Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman gave a gentle smile and didn’t say much.

With her relationship with Ye Fan, being too polite would only create distance.

After talking for a while, Ye Fan left the office without disturbing Lu Xiaoman’s work.

Finding a secluded spot, Ye Fan took out his phone to call Tantai Wanrong.

The call connected quickly, and Tantai Wanrong’s noble and sweet voice came through, tinged with a hint of laughter, “Hehe, Little Fan, I guessed you would call around this time.”

“Hehe, Aunt Wanrong, you’ve seen my embarrassing moment.” Ye Fan said with an awkward laugh, “About what just happened at IFC…”

“Don’t worry.

Aunt won’t tell Zhao Jun for now.

Although Yaoyao is angry, she is still on your side for the time being.” Tantai Wanrong said softly, “However, what you are doing is not good.”

Ye Fan replied with a bitter smile, “I understand that, of course.

It’s just that some things are complicated.

And you don’t have to go out of your way to hide it for me.

Zhao Jun and Xiaoman, they both know about it.”

“They both know?” Tantai Wanrong was surprised, somewhat incredulously, “That’s unlikely.

With Zhao Jun’s assertive nature and her superior status, how could she tolerate your misbehavior?”

“She indeed cannot tolerate it.

However, there’s a reason behind it…” Ye Fan said.

Filled with curiosity, Tantai Wanrong interrupted Ye Fan, “What exactly is the reason?

You just mentioned it’s a long story.

Tell Aunt about it.”

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, as it was his and Li Zhaojun’s marital privacy, not convenient to disclose to others.

However, in order to restore his image in Aunt Wanrong’s eyes, he ended up explaining the situation.

“I see, then I can’t really blame you,” Tantai Wanrong said with relief after listening.

Ye Fan did not immediately respond.

Tantai Wanrong paused for a moment and asked concernedly, “So, what do you plan to do?”

“Hehe, I’m at a loss.

How about you give me some advice?” Ye Fan said with a bitter tone.

He certainly had a determined idea, which was to have both Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman.

But it was something he felt embarrassed to directly tell Tantai Wanrong, lest the image he had just recovered be tarnished again.

Tantai Wanrong laughed, “Aunt won’t give you any advice.

On such matters, whatever Aunt says is bound to cause trouble.

You can worry about it yourself, calling you a playboy!”

“Alright, Aunt has to prepare for Yaoyao’s birthday party now.

No more chatting, goodbye.” She added quickly.

Ye Fan hadn’t actually expected Tantai Wanrong to give any advice, so he wasn’t disappointed and replied, “Thank you for listening to me ramble on so much.

Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Tantai Wanrong, on the other end, wasn’t really busy preparing for Qin Mengyao’s birthday party.

She had already arranged everything that needed to be done.

She was sitting on the edge of her bed in her bedroom when she took Ye Fan’s call, so after the call, she suddenly felt a bit lethargic and lay down on the bed, tossing her phone aside.

Today, suddenly seeing Ye Fan still intimately shopping with Lu Xiaoman in the mall had stirred up the calm waters of her heart.

Ye Fan was now married to Li Zhaojun, but he was still with Lu Xiaoman…

This made her mind wander.

She quickly suppressed the thoughts that had begun to emerge in the depths of her heart, but once the ripples had formed, how could they be calmed again?

“So, there was a reason Ye Fan was still with Lu Xiaoman…” she whispered to herself, then fell silent.

Tantai Wanrong lay in bed for half an hour, staring at the snow-white ceiling for half an hour before she got up.

Finding her hair a bit messy from sleep, she walked over to the dressing table, sat down, and combed her hair for a good fifteen minutes in front of the mirror.

It wasn’t until Qin Mengyao couldn’t help knocking on the door that she snapped out of it and called to the door, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Qin Mengyao walked in, asking Tantai Wanrong about something regarding the birthday party.

Tantai Wanrong smiled and told her.

With her question answered, Qin Mengyao couldn’t help asking, “Aunt, was that Ye Fan who called you just now?

Why was the call so long?”

Before Tantai Wanrong could answer, Qin Mengyao continued with a pained expression, “That jerk, a big heartbreaker, I despise him at sight!

Aunt, let’s ignore him from now on!”

“Hee hee, whether he’s fickle or not has nothing to do with us.

Your Brother Fan happens to be my life savior.

I haven’t even repaid him yet, how could I possibly cease contact with him?” Tantai Wanrong answered elegantly with a smile, “Indeed, it was his call just now.

However, it was only a brief conversation.

I felt a bit sleepy earlier, so I took a short nap.”

Qin Mengyao glanced at Tantai Wanrong’s hair and, noticing it was indeed slightly disheveled, believed Tantai Wanrong’s words.

Just after five o’clock, Ye Fan said goodbye to Lu Xiaoman and then drove back to the Imperial Garden Villa Community.

Li Zhaojun had asked him to come home for dinner, and he dared not forget it.

Upon arriving at the villa, Li Zhaojun was sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

Hearing Ye Fan’s return, she turned her head, glanced at him, and called out his name.

Ye Fan walked over and sat down on another sofa, noticing that Li Zhaojun seemed to have freshened up, ready to go out.

Weren’t they supposed to eat at home?

Could it be they were going out to eat instead?

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun with a questioning gaze.

Li Zhaojun caught on, revealing a slight smile and said, “Just now, eldest sister called me and invited us to Yaoyao’s birthday Paity, and I’ve accepted.”

“Oh, that’s fine,” Ye Fan responded.

“Get ready, rest for a while, and then we’ll set off,” Li Zhaojun added.

Ye Fan acknowledged, standing up and heading for the second floor.

Qin Mengyao’s birthday Pairy wasn’t held at home but in a private room at a high-end restaurant.

Besides the dining area, the private room was equipped with a card and games room as well as a KTV room, offering combined dining and entertainment.

Moreover, Qin Mengyao knew Tantai Wanrong didn’t like noisy crowds or her circle of questionable friends, so she only invited her best friend Liu Yiyi.

Thus, the birthday party was an intimate affair: just Qin Mengyao herself, Tantai Wanrong, Zhao Tianya, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun, along with Liu Yiyi, making six people in total.

When Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun entered the private room, everyone else was already there.

After greeting Tantai Wanrong, Zhao Tianya, and Qin Mengyao, Ye Fan’s gaze fell on Liu Yiyi.

Although it had been a long time since they had contact, Ye Fan still had some impression of Liu Yiyi, a quiet, polite, and well-mannered rich girl.

At the moment, Liu Yiyi seemed to be half-hiding behind Qin Mengyao, her pretty face shyly looking at Ye Fan, her tender and soft lips parting as if she wanted to greet him but was too embarrassed to do so.

When Ye Fan looked towards her, her palm-sized lovely face suddenly turned bright red.
