Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 685 - 685 681 An Unexpected Phone Call

685: Chapter 681: An Unexpected Phone Call 685: Chapter 681: An Unexpected Phone Call Qin Mengyao finished kissing Ye Fan’s cheek and, as she let go, swiftly whispered in his ear with a light voice, “Hehe, Li Zhaojun must be jealous!”

After saying that, before Ye Fan could react, she released him, picked up the cake knife, and cheered, “Time to cut the cake—”

Following her cheer, the crowd, which had become silent in surprise at Qin Mengyao’s unexpected kiss on Ye Fan’s cheek, was awakened and restored to the previous merriment and laughter.

Once the cake was cut, everyone symbolically had a piece, and then Qin Mengyao immediately called out, “Let’s play Mahjong, let’s play Mahjong—”

She still hadn’t forgotten the chance to earn some pocket money.

However, the next moment, Tantai Wanrong lightly knocked her on the head and asked, “Are you addicted to playing Mahjong?”

Qin Mengyao covered her head, feeling aggrieved, and turned to look at Tantai Wanrong.

“It’s almost half-past ten, rest for a bit and then it’s time to head back,” Tantai Wanrong chided.

Qin Mengyao hung her head dejectedly and said, “I understand, Auntie.”

Seeing this, Zhao Tianya laughed and said, “Yaoyao, no Mahjong, but you can still consider the money you lost as won.

Whatever you lose, I’ll reward you tenfold as pocket money.”

“Thank you, Auntie Tianya, you are the best to me!” Qin Mengyao exclaimed in delight, hugging Zhao Tianya and giving her a firm kiss.

“Tianya, don’t spoil her,” said Tantai Wanrong.

Zhao Tianya chuckled and replied, “Big sister, today is her birthday after all.

It’s only right to give her a little surprise.

And it’s not a lot of money.”

She and Tantai Wanrong were best friends, sworn sisters, but in terms of social status, she had aimed a bit high.

Plus, she had also benefited a lot in the business world through Tantai Wanrong’s connections, so she pampered Qin Mengyao even more, to balance her relationship with Tantai Wanrong.

Around eleven o’clock that evening, the party ended, everyone said their goodbyes and went home.

The next day, Sunday morning at nine, Ye Fan accompanied Li Zhaojun to visit the old Master Li.

Old Master Li’s health was the same as always, neither good nor bad, slowly waning.

While visiting Old Master Li, Ye Fan suddenly got a call from Dongfang Yunqi.

After telling Old Master Li, Ye Fan went out to the balcony to answer the call.

“Hehe, Yunqi, how have you been lately?” Ye Fan chuckled as he answered the phone.

He suddenly remembered that he had said he would split 2.5 million with Dongfang Yunqi, who hadn’t wanted to take cash, and he had been thinking of other ways to give it to Dongfang Yunqi.

But because of the trip back to Four-Nine City to celebrate Old Master Ye’s birthday, and then too many things happening afterwards, he had less contact with Dongfang Yunqi and had nearly forgotten about it.

For many people, 2.5 million would be an extraordinary sum, impossible to forget, but for him, it was almost out of mind.

From the phone came Dongfang Yunqi’s elegant and pleasant voice, “I’m doing well.

You, however, might not be.”

“Huh?” Ye Fan was slightly surprised and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Last night someone was inquiring about your whereabouts and background,” Dongfang Yunqi said.

“What’s this conflict you have with Wang Kaichen?”

Turns out, Wang Kaichen and An Qiye, after some discussion, believed that without Zhao Lina’s protection, Ye Fan could easily be handled by them.

However, when they wanted to trouble Ye Fan, they unexpectedly found that he was no longer at Emali Group and didn’t know his whereabouts at all.

So, they were asking around for Ye Fan’s location.

Ye Fan and Dongfang Yunqi were close, and An Qiye had once assumed there was something between the two, which inevitably led to Dongfang Yunqi getting disturbed.

Of course, neither Wang Kaichen nor An Qiye directly approached Dongfang Yunqi.

“Wang Kaichen?” Ye Fan blinked, then remembered, and laughed, “There was a little conflict.

But, no worries.”

Dongfang Yun Qi listened to Ye Fan’s tone and knew that Ye Fan didn’t take Wang Kaichen seriously.

She couldn’t help but think that Ye Fan’s background was not simple.

However, as a friend, she still kindly offered another word of caution, “Alright.

But, Wang Kaichen is a bit narrow-minded, you should be careful of his excessive actions.”

“Okay, thank you,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Dongfang Yun Qi chuckled and asked, “Are you now in Hua Hai city?”

“Yes,” Ye Fan answered.

“Hehe, that’s a bit regrettable.

Last night Yun Qi Club held a charity auction and party, if I had known earlier that you were in Hua Hai city, I would have invited you to join,” Dongfang Yun Qi said, “We could also have met up and had a good chat.”

With a smile, Ye Fan said, “Indeed a pity.

Next time then, if I return to Hua Hai city, and if Yun Qi Club happens to have another charity auction, I will definitely attend.”

To tell the truth, his acquaintance with Dongfang Yun Qi was mainly her helping him, which made him feel somewhat indebted.

“Okay,” Dongfang Yun Qi said with a smile.

Then, she asked, “When are you leaving Hua Hai city?”

“I should be leaving around five or six o’clock this afternoon,” Ye Fan said.

Dongfang Yun Qi chuckled and said, “That means there’s still some time.

How about we find a place to sit down?”

“…I’m sorry, but my schedule today is full,” Ye Fan apologized, “Next time.

When I return to Hua Hai city, I’ll take the initiative to find you, and you better not ignore me.”

The morning was already taken as he was sure to accompany Elder Li, and in the afternoon, he had made plans to meet Shen Yan at Yan Yusong’s place.

Dongfang Yun Qi laughed, “Hehe, no worries.

Okay.”

Then, they both said goodbye and ended the call.

After having lunch at Elder Li’s house and Elder Li resting due to his lack of energy, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun drove back to the Yu Lin Bay villa complex.

Once back at the villa, under the supervision of her master Qing Lian, Li Zhaojun started her daily practice, and Ye Fan drove off to Hua Yang Martial Arts Gym.

Arriving at Hua Yang Martial Arts Gym, he surprisingly didn’t see Mo Xiaoyan.

Remembering yesterday’s quarrel, he figured that Mo Xiaoyan was probably not in a good mood.

Sighing silently, Ye Fan went to find Lu Xiaoman in the office.

Lu Xiaoman’s trip to Chongqing to recognize her ancestry and return to her clan had him pondering for two days, but he still couldn’t come up with a good solution.

After closing the door, Ye Fan sat down on the sofa opposite Lu Xiaoman, and after a close and intimate conversation, he finally ventured to ask, “Xiaoman, how much money did your parents give you for entrepreneurship?”

“What’s up?” Lu Xiaoman asked, “They gave me about thirty million.”

Ye Fan said thoughtfully, “I want to give you thirty million, so you can return that money to your parents.”

“Why?” Lu Xiaoman asked, surprised.

Ye Fan said with a bitter smile, “I know my request is a bit much.

However, it’s the best solution I could think of.”

He paused, then continued, “Xiaoyan told me about your trip to Chongqing to recognize your ancestors, and that your biological grandfather is planning an arranged marriage for you.”

“Is that so?

He…

how can my grandfather do this?!” Lu Xiaoman exclaimed, her brows furrowing, “I just want to be with you; I don’t want my marriage arranged by someone else!”
