Chapter 731: Chapter 727: Li Zhaojun’s Birthday (Part 1)

At 8:00 PM, Ye Fan drove away from Hua Hai City, heading back to Mingde County.

Ye Fan’s trip to Malaysia had unexpectedly extended by a day, making him slightly embarrassed to face Zhao Lina, who had been covering for him.

By the time he returned to his unit’s dormitory, it was already past eleven at night.

As Ye Fan ascended the stairs, he deliberately looked up at Zhao Lina’s dormitory and noticed the light was still on, presuming that Zhao Lina had not yet gone to sleep.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, he entered his dormitory, settled his luggage, freshened up briefly, and then stepped out to knock on the door across the hall.

Soon, the door opened and there stood Zhao Lina, dressed in casual home clothes, looking at Ye Fan.

“Hehe, Lina, I’m back,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Zhao Lina averted her gaze, pulled the door open wider, and then turned and walked back into the living room.

Ye Fan followed her in and closed the door behind him.

“I’m sorry, I got delayed for another day,” he said apologetically as he sat down on the sofa.

Zhao Lina calmly replied, “It’s alright. Let me first tell you about the things you ‘did’ these past few days.”

A few minutes later, Zhao Lina stood up and said, “Alright, Director Ye, you should rest. I’m tired too.”

“Alright. Good night,” Ye Fan nodded and stood up.

After leaving Zhao Lina’s dormitory, he exhaled a deep breath.

He had wanted to talk more with Zhao Lina, but her attitude had noticeably cooled. It was just as she had said the night before he left for Malaysia, that things would proceed as normal without any entanglement.

The next day, Ye Fan officially returned to his post and dedicated himself to his work.

After a busy day, it was after 7:00 PM when Ye Fan finally had time to pay a New Year visit to Wang Jianru.

Wang Jianru was somewhat surprised by Ye Fan’s visit, not so much by the visit itself, but by the timing of it.

Now, it was already the seventh day of the lunar new year, and the Spring Festival holiday had passed.

Wang Jianru was cordial to Ye Fan, sitting and chatting in the living room for nearly two hours before Ye Fan took the initiative to say goodbye.

Although he was interested in a job transfer, his relationship with Wang Jianru was still in its early stages, and with no suitable vacancies available, he did not hint at it now. This visit was only to establish a good relationship in preparation for a future transfer.

The third day, in the evening, Ye Fan went to visit Xue Lingyu.

Xue Lingyu’s house was also in the county committee compound, a three-bedroom, two-hall apartment.

After sitting down in the living room, Xue Lingyu frowned and complained, “You promised to visit during the Spring Festival, why have you only come now?”

“Hehe, Sister Xue, don’t be angry, I’m here now to wish you a happy new year, aren’t I?” Ye Fan replied, “It’s still the Spring Festival period.”

Xue Lingyu couldn’t really be mad at Ye Fan and soon smiled.

Then, the two of them casually chatted up.

Neither Ye Fan nor Xue Lingyu wanted to delve into substantial topics, as both were simply aiming to strengthen their relationship.

They chatted until about 10:30 PM, when Ye Fan finally stood up to leave.

Time flew by, the Lantern Festival had passed, China’s traditional Spring Festival was over, and people who had left for work before the new year had mostly returned. The Mingde County Police Bureau could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Fan and Zhao Lina, the top two leaders, could finally get a holiday.

After the Lantern Festival, came the weekend, and early on Saturday morning, Ye Fan drove to Hua Hai City.

Today was Li Zhaojun’s birthday.

In Li Zhaojun’s villa, Ye Fan finally met her.

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun subconsciously and found that she was not very cold this time, probably because she had spent the New Year at home with her mother, who warmed her heart.

“Welcome back,” Li Zhaojun called out proactively.

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Today is your birthday, how could I not come back?”

Saying this, he stepped forward, took Li Zhaojun’s hand, and then walked towards the stairs.

Entering the room and closing the door behind him, Ye Fan embraced Li Zhaojun and gave her a passionate kiss. Only when Li Zhaojun’s body became entirely limp and she unconsciously let out some moans did Ye Fan let her go.

The two sat on the edge of the bed. Ye Fan asked, “Zhao Jun, where do you plan to celebrate your birthday?”

“I hadn’t thought about it,” Li Zhaojun said. “Actually, since I left my mother, I haven’t celebrated my birthday. Ye Fan, thank you.”

“Ha-ha, thank me for what?” Ye Fan chuckled. “I’m your husband; it’s only right.”

Li Zhaojun nodded slightly and then asked in return, “How do you usually celebrate your birthday?”

“Me? Ha-ha, I’ve forgotten my own birthday for seven consecutive years,” Ye Fan replied.

Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but smile.

Ye Fan said, “Since that’s the case, let’s celebrate properly. Should we hold it at home or go to a club?”

“At home, just the two of us,” Li Zhaojun said.

Qing Lian had not arrived after the New Year.

“Shouldn’t we invite anyone else?” Ye Fan asked, somewhat surprised. “What about your friends, like Aunt Rong, Sister Ya?”

Li Zhaojun smiled gently, shook her head, and looked at Ye Fan, saying, “A birthday cake and having you is enough.”

“Ha-ha, it’s like having vast fields but only needing three meals a day, a mansion but only needing a three-foot-wide bed to sleep,” Ye Fan chuckled. “You, as a billionaire, have earned so much money for nothing.”

Li Zhaojun chuckled in response, “And aren’t you, the young master of the Ye family, still wearing civilian clothes that cost just over a hundred dollars every day?”

After exchanging smiles for a while, Ye Fan stood up and said, “Even so, we still need to make some preparations, can’t just lack an atmosphere. I’ll go out and buy some stuff to get ready.”

Half a day was enough time for Ye Fan to get many things done.

After being busy for half a day, buying materials and decorations, and arranging them personally, Ye Fan made the living room on the second floor look stylish and filled with a birthday party atmosphere.

By seven o’clock in the evening, as it got dark, Li Zhaojun was finally allowed to go up to the second-floor living room.

Seeing that the entire second-floor living room had almost completely transformed, filled with a romantic birthday party atmosphere, Li Zhaojun’s eyes lit up as she carefully surveyed the living room, showing a smile.

“How is it? Not bad, right?” Ye Fan smiled.

Li Zhaojun’s gaze returned to Ye Fan, moved as she spoke, “It’s very beautiful, the most beautiful and romantic setup I’ve ever seen.”

At their level, celebrating a birthday at a top luxury hotel or on a luxury yacht was nothing special, just a phone call away. As for the cost issue, which might seem important in ordinary eyes, it was nothing to them.

Thus, in Li Zhaojun’s eyes, Ye Fan putting in the effort to personally buy and arrange the birthday party was what truly moved her.

Holding Li Zhaojun’s delicate hand, Ye Fan led her to the sofa, personally put a birthday hat on her, and then smiled, “Sit here and quietly wait for the mysterious show to begin.”

Li Zhaojun nodded with a smile.

Ye Fan gave a mysterious smile, turned around, entered the room, and closed the door.

Shifting her gaze from the closed door, Li Zhaojun looked up, admiring the balloons hanging on the walls and ceiling, her eyes full of happiness and sweetness.
