Chapter 156 - Don't Drink Alcohol Preparing to Have a Child

Ye Fan quickly caught the hidden tension beneath Li Zhaojun’s eyes and couldn’t help but feel smug inside, “Aren’t you proud like a queen?

Feeling nervous now, huh?

Aren’t you going to stand still like a good little quail and let me wrap my arm around you?”

He approached Li Zhaojun with a smile on his face, but did not rush to wrap his arm around her delicate waist; instead, he contemplated whether to do so from the left or the right.

Li Zhaojun felt the torment of a condemned prisoner.

Seeing Ye Fan procrastinate so long without taking action, she couldn’t help but urge him, “If you’re going to hug me, just do it!”

“Hehe, no hurry, no hurry,” Ye Fan said with a laugh.

He felt that watching the nervous expression on Zhao Jun’s pretty face was more interesting than hugging her.

Just as he was posturing, rubbing his fists and warming up in eager anticipation, Zhao Jun became too tense, closed her eyes, let out a sharp scream, and suddenly stamped her foot down, nailing it hard on Ye Fan’s foot.

Ah—

Ye Fan cried out in pain, released Li Zhaojun and hopped aside, lifting the foot that had been stomped on and hopping continuously on the spot while drawing in sharp breaths of cold air through clenched teeth.

Getting stomped on by a fine high heel was a stroke of luck if it didn’t pierce a bloody hole right through his foot.

Li Zhaojun finally caught her breath, opened her eyes, and gasped for air as her chest heaved dramatically.

Ye Fan’s pain was so intense that he spun and hopped in place for almost a minute.

By the time he was finally able to stand on both feet, Li Zhaojun had regained her composure, fixing him with a cold and disdainful gaze.

“You are too cruel.

You nearly stomped a hole right through my foot!” Ye Fan said, slightly angry.

Li Zhaojun tilted her exquisitely delicate chin up and huffed, “You deserved it!”

Ye Fan was so furious he nearly burst a blood vessel.

He hadn’t even touched her yet, and he had already been brutally stomped on.

After a good while, Ye Fan managed to calm down from his indignation and said, “Alright then, I’m a big person and won’t hold this against you.

Let’s continue with the waist-hugging exercise.”

“You still want to hug?” Li Zhaojun looked at Ye Fan as if he were an idiot.

Ye Fan was so frustrated he felt like spitting blood.

He hadn’t gained any advantage and had been ruthlessly stomped on for nothing, and it was still painful.

If only he had just hugged her without playing such tricks.

But he knew Zhao Jun’s personality all too well.

Begging her for another chance was out of the question; it would only invite more scorn from her.

He spread his hands in resignation and said, “Fine, if you don’t want to practice, then never mind.

Alright, we’ve wasted a lot of time, let’s go see Grandpa.”

With that, he headed toward the suite where Grandpa Liu Tiezhu lived.

Li Zhaojun called out from behind, “Wait.”

Ye Fan stopped, turned back with a smile, and asked, “What’s up?

Have you changed your mind about practicing the waist-hugging?”

“Hand-holding,” Li Zhaojun stated expressionlessly.

“Right, right, nearly forgot about that part,” Ye Fan said, taking a couple of steps back and reaching out his hand, “Extend your hand.”

Li Zhaojun bit her soft and sensual lower lip slightly but still extended her delicate hand.

Then, Ye Fan stretched his hand further back and took hold of her small hand.

Smooth as satin, bonelessly soft, with a trace of coolness—such a great sensation!

Such a great sensation!

Ye Fan couldn’t help gently squeezing her hand, which immediately brought him a murderous look from Li Zhaojun.

After half a month, seeing Liu Tiezhu again, Ye Fan was sadly aware that the elderly man’s spirit wasn’t as good as before.

He couldn’t help but glance at Li Zhaojun, whose radiantly beautiful face, despite being adorned with a smile, could not conceal the worry and sadness in her eyes.

Liu Tiezhu brightened a bit when he saw Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun coming to see him hand in hand and sat up a little in his armchair to chat with Ye Fan and Zhao Jun.

After chatting for a while, Liu Tiezhu had finished cooking the meal.

Everyone sat down at the dining table, and before they started eating, Liu Tiezhu asked Ye Fan, “Xiao Fan, what drink would you like?

I’ll get it for you.”

“Hehe, I’ve been preparing to have a child recently, so I’m not drinking alcohol,” Ye Fan casually said.

Everyone couldn’t help but be startled, Li Zhaojun’s pretty face blushed red with both embarrassment and annoyance, secretly blaming Ye Fan for his thoughtless remarks and making things up.

Who said I’m going to have a child with you?

Hmph, you wish?!

Just as she was about to step on Ye Fan’s foot under the table, an old and weak but hearty laugh caught her attention.

They all heard Elder Li chuckling heartily, “Then you should eat an extra couple bowls of rice.

Hehe, times have changed now, and many things need to be done properly.

You need to eat well to have the strength.”

His last words were spoken explicitly, causing Zhao Jun to shyly protest, “Grandpa!”

“Hahaha…” Elder Li laughed heartily.

Zhao Jun’s gaze dropped, her face blushing hotly.

Although she was so embarrassed she felt like she wanted to crawl into a hole, she was happy to see Elder Li laughing with joy.

She found herself no longer annoyed with Ye Fan for his loose talk.

She quietly lifted her eyelashes to sneak a glance at Ye Fan and saw him smirking at her, a triumphant look on his face.

Feeling as if her innermost secrets had been discovered, Zhao Jun felt annoyed and stealthily kicked Ye Fan’s shin under the table.

Ye Fan immediately winced in pain and sucked in a breath, yet he didn’t dare to make a sound, his expression comically pitiful.

Seeing Ye Fan unable to complain despite the pain, Zhao Jun felt a small triumph in her heart, and her sensual mouth curved up inadvertently, her beauty unmatched for a moment and captivating Ye Fan completely.

Zhao Jun quickly noticed Ye Fan’s gaze, internally cursed him for being a lecherous fool, always a dog that can’t change his ways, and promptly put on a stern face.

Seeing Zhao Jun’s stern look, Ye Fan sighed in disappointment, then turned to chat with Elder Li, reporting the “preparations” he had made recently in anticipation of having a child.

Such as quitting smoking and drinking, getting up early and going to bed early, exercising for several hours each day, avoiding the internet to reduce radiation exposure, and even carrying his cell phone less often.

The more he spoke the more outrageous he became, his words running off like a runaway train, speaking as if it were all true.

Elder Li listened with pleasure, very approving of Ye Fan’s “preparations,” mentioning that you can only have one child nowadays, so it’s crucial to focus on the preparatory work.

Unlike in the past when you could have many children, if the eldest wasn’t good, there was the second, and if the second didn’t turn out well, there was the third.

There was bound to be one who would succeed.

All the while, Zhao Jun kept her face blushing red, head bowed, partly glad that Elder Li was in high spirits and his health seemed to be improving, yet secretly scolding Ye Fan for being shameless and deceitful.

However, Elder Li’s energy was indeed limited, and he became tired less than an hour after the meal.

Ye Fan and Zhao Jun helped him to bed to rest, taking care of him until he fell asleep.

Zhao Jun hadn’t expected the usually unreliable Ye Fan to be so dependable at this moment and felt slightly better about him.

After Elder Li had fallen asleep, Ye Fan and Zhao Jun tiptoed out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Liu Tiezhu came over and asked in a hushed voice, “Has the old chief fallen asleep?”

“Mhm, Grandpa’s asleep,” Zhao Jun nodded.

Liu Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief that was both concerned and glad.

Next, Zhao Jun carefully questioned Liu Tiezhu about Elder Li’s condition over the past week, asking in detail, and Liu Tiezhu left nothing unsaid.

As for Ye Fan, he sat down on the old wooden sofa, just waiting.

Although he didn’t listen attentively to Zhao Jun’s conversation with Liu Tiezhu, he could tell that Elder Li’s health was really not what it used to be, day by day.

Zhao Jun and Liu Tiezhu’s back-and-forth conversation took a full half-hour to conclude.
