Chapter 772: Chapter 768: Elegant and Beautiful Woman

The next day at noon, Ye Fan met with Nie Yuling, and then they spent the day together in that secluded villa before parting ways.

It had been several months since he last saw Nie Yuling. Her aura had noticeably changed; the frosty demeanor of the female boss was gradually fading, replaced by the more apparent characteristics of a capable businesswoman. In addition, she started giving off a sense of charm that’s particular to young women. Nie Yuling had been his woman for over half a year now.

Qingmu Group had invested in two significant factories in Mingde County. According to Nie Yuling, as the chairwoman of the group, she planned to visit Mingde County regularly. That meant she would often meet with Ye Fan in the future.

The following day, Ye Fan spent half a day at Huayang Martial Arts School and had lunch with Lu Xiaoman.

In the afternoon, Ye Fan finally had time to call Hu Jing.

After going to Mingde County to become a civil servant, he had communicated with Hu Jing much less frequently.

Hu Jing probably knew that she couldn’t hook Ye Fan, the golden bachelor, and had to start looking for other targets.

She wasn’t getting any younger; she needed to quickly find a wealthy or powerful second-generation, someone who loved her and whom she also found appealing, while she was still in her prime and most beautiful.

Luckily, she had previously rode on Ye Fan’s coattails, attending charity auctions and parties held by Yun Qi Association, getting to know a lot of high society figures. She had especially formed a connection with several sons of wealthy families, like Zhao Shuaijiang. So, her range of options wasn’t small.

Ye Fan taking the initiative to contact her made Hu Jing happy, and she wanted to invite him to have a meal together.

However, Ye Fan tactfully declined.

He was aware of Hu Jing’s feelings for him. With all the emotional debts he already had, the last thing he wanted was to provoke her further.

When Hu Jing heard Ye Fan’s refusal, she said half-jokingly and half-mockingly, “Oh, it seems I’ve forever lost the chance to land you as my golden husband.”

As she said this, she couldn’t help but recall how she had initially looked down on Ye Fan when they started working together. She hadn’t expected that even with all her efforts, she wouldn’t be able to win him over.

Ye Fan just laughed on the phone, not saying much.

“When do you and Lu Xiaoman plan to get married?” Hu Jing shifted the topic herself, “Remember to send me an invitation.”

“Sending an invitation won’t be a problem,” Ye Fan laughed, “but we haven’t set a date yet.”

After chatting on the phone for over an hour, they finally ended the call.

After calling Hu Jing, Ye Fan then called Dongfang Yunqi.

Dongfang Yunqi was quite pleasantly surprised to receive Ye Fan’s call.

Originally, with her extensive social connections and deep networks, having too many friends meant she kept a thick phone book to record all her friends’ contact details and relevant information. She would consider whether she should take the initiative to stay in touch based on the closeness of the relationship, the other party’s background, and the last time they contacted each other, in order to maintain her social network.

In the past few months, she had tried reaching out to Ye Fan several times, but couldn’t get through.

After several attempts and no success, she thought he might have changed his phone number.

She truly found it a pity to lose Ye Fan as a friend.

Whether it was Ye Fan himself or his background, she felt it was worthwhile to maintain a long-term friendship with him.

“Ye Fan?” Dongfang Yunqi asked with some uncertainty upon receiving his call, her tone revealing happiness.

Ye Fan responded with a cheerful laugh, “Correct. Miss Yun Qi, we haven’t been in touch for a while. How have you been recently?”

“I’ve been doing alright,” Dongfang Yunqi replied with a laugh like silver bells, “What about you? I’ve tried calling you a few times over the past months, but couldn’t get through. Did something happen?”

“I’ve been abroad,” Ye Fan said.

“Oh, I see. Are you still overseas? Which country are you in?” Dongfang Yunqi suddenly understood.

“I have returned to the country now, and I’m in Hua Hai city,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

“Really?” Dongfang Yunqi couldn’t help saying, “Are you free? It’s been so long, how about we meet up for a seat?”

Ye Fan laughed heartily, “I was just thinking of inviting you to dinner, and I was worried you wouldn’t agree. How about we have dinner together tonight at the Dingsheng International Hotel?”

“Okay. Don’t stand me up.” Dongfang Yunqi replied cheerfully.

After that, the two of them chatted for a few more sentences and then ended the call.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan remembered he still owed Dongfang Yunqi two and a half million. When he tried to transfer it to her directly, she wouldn’t accept it. However, he was certainly going to pay her. So, he began to ponder how to give Dongfang Yunqi the two and a half million in a way that she would accept.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t pay; it was how to pay in a way that the other party would accept; that was a headache.

Around seven in the evening, Ye Fan booked an elegant booth in the dining hall of the Dingsheng International Hotel and waited for Dongfang Yunqi to arrive.

Three minutes before the agreed time, Dongfang Yunqi arrived in an elegant, lotus-colored dress, her beautiful face adorned with a graceful and generous smile, exuding an impressive deportment.

“Miss Yunqi,” Ye Fan stood up to greet her with a smile.

Dongfang Yunqi looked at Ye Fan with a smile and said, “Ye Fan.”

The two sat down face to face, ordered their dishes, and after that, Dongfang Yunqi asked with a graceful smile, “When did you return?”

“I’ve been in Hua Hai city for a few days,” Ye Fan said, “I’ve been busy with things, and today was my first chance to invite you to dinner. I hope you don’t mind.”

“How could I?” Dongfang Yunqi said.

After that, the two of them chatted back and forth.

Dongfang Yunqi was an elegant and talkative beautiful woman, so Ye Fan had a very enjoyable and cheerful dinner.

After finishing the meal, while Ye Fan was paying the bill, Dongfang Yunqi said, “I haven’t strolled through the night market in a long time, how about you join me for a walk?”

“It would be my honor,” Ye Fan immediately said with a smile.

After paying the bill and leaving the dining hall, Dongfang Yunqi headed toward the parking lot in front. Ye Fan then said, “My car is in the underground parking lot.”

“Do you stay at this hotel?” Dongfang Yunqi asked immediately.

“Indeed,” Ye Fan nodded, “Miss Yunqi is indeed quick-witted.”

“You must come to Hua Hai city often,” Dongfang Yunqi said. “I have a nice set of long-vacant houses; you can use them as a place to stay.”

Ye Fan smiled and tactfully declined, “Thank you for your kindness. However, I also have a place to stay in Hua Hai city, it’s just that I’ve been staying at the hotel for a few days recently because of some matters.”

More than half an hour later, Ye Fan and Dongfang Yunqi walked shoulder to shoulder on the streets of the antique market.

Dongfang Yunqi was not interested in shopping malls but preferred wandering through the antique market to find some good stuff.

Upon entering the antique market, Dongfang Yunqi suddenly remembered that last year, Wang Kai and An Qiye had been trying to find Ye Fan to cause him trouble.

“By the way, at the end of last year, Wang Kai and An Qiye were inquiring all over for your whereabouts. Did they end up causing you trouble?” Dongfang Yunqi asked.

Ye Fan replied with an unconcerned smile, “No. They couldn’t even find me.”

As they were talking, suddenly from the back left side, a voice called out: “Miss Yunqi!”

Ye Fan and Dongfang Yunqi turned their heads to look and squarely saw An Qiye.
