Chapter 228 - Forced to Call Zhao Tianya Aunt

Ye Fan finished up in the bathroom, washed his hands, and opened the door to find Qin Meng Yao waiting right outside.

As he walked out, Ye Fan asked, “Have you been standing guard the whole time I was in the bathroom?”

“Exactly!” Qin Meng Yao lifted her pretty face and said arrogantly, “Now that you’re done in the bathroom, please head straight back to the living room.”

“Hehe, so fierce?” Ye Fan laughed and then suddenly reached out to gently pinch and twist Qin Meng Yao’s tender, smooth cheeks.

“Be careful, or you might not get married!”

Qin Meng Yao had not expected Ye Fan to pinch her cheeks so affectionately, and she was momentarily stunned.

When she came to her senses, she thought about swatting his hand away but then found she didn’t really want to.

And so, after Ye Fan pinched her cheeks a few times, he finally withdrew his hand.

Qin Meng Yao pouted with a slight blush on her cheeks, “If I can’t get married, I’ll just cling to you!”

Her previously fierce and arrogant demeanor was almost entirely gone.

Ye Fan let out a hearty laugh and walked towards the living room.

Qin Meng Yao followed him into the living room.

Ye Fan sat down on the couch in front of the coffee table, and Qin Meng Yao picked up the TV remote to switch on the television before handing the remote to Ye Fan.

“Change the channel to whatever you want to watch yourself.

I won’t keep you company.”

Then, she turned around and headed into the kitchen.

She wasn’t watching over Ye Fan anymore.

Tantai Wanrong saw Qin Meng Yao enter the kitchen and couldn’t help but say, “Weren’t you supposed to entertain your Brother Ye?”

“He’s so familiar with everything, he hardly needs my hospitality,” replied Qin Meng Yao.

Tantai Wanrong thought about it and agreed.

Ye Fan wasn’t the sort of dull and awkward person who needed special attention.

Besides, he was quite familiar with both aunt and niece, so there was no need for extra fuss.

Seven or eight minutes later, the dishes were all prepared.

Qin Meng Yao brought the food to the dining room while Tantai Wanrong took off her apron and hat, then went to the bathroom to wash her face and tidy her hair, only to find that the towel was missing, and even the toothbrush and cup were gone.

“Robbed?

Impossible,” she thought, puzzled.

At that moment, Qin Meng Yao remembered that she had cleared away all the items from the communal bathroom, so she called out, “Auntie, please use the master bedroom’s bathroom to wash up.”

Hearing Qin Meng Yao’s shout, Tantai Wanrong immediately understood the situation and shook her head with a smile, “This girl, guarding against Xiao Fan as if he were a thief.”

Ye Fan helped set the food on the table and was surprised to find that among the seven or eight dishes, not one contained meat, not even an egg.

He couldn’t help but smile wryly; as a carnivore, a meal without meat left him feeling less than full.

The dishes were neatly laid out, and Tantai Wanrong emerged from the room, walking elegantly.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but take a glance at her, seeing Tantai Wanrong’s tall, mature figure dressed in a casual, loose-fitting pale yellow midi dress.

“It’s time to eat—” Qin Meng Yao called out a bit excitedly.

Tantai Wanrong, however, shook her head gently, “Wait a moment, we’re expecting one more person.”

“Who is it?” Qin Meng Yao asked curiously.

Ye Fan was also curious, thinking to himself, could it be that Auntie took the opportunity of this meal to set up another blind date for me?

Tantai Wanrong had no time to respond when the doorbell rang outside.

“Hehe, someone’s here.

Yaoyao, go open the door,” she said with a smile to Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao responded and ran to open the door.

Soon, Ye Fan heard a surprised and cheerful laugh from the door, “Hehe, Aunt Tian Ya!”

Hearing Qin Mengyao calling the person ‘aunt’, Ye Fan let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was a relative of Qin Mengyao.

Then, a series of high heels clicking on the floor reached his ears, and the next moment, Ye Fan saw who it was and was immediately taken aback.

Zhao Tianya!

How, how did she also come to Aunt Wanrong’s house for a meal?

When Zhao Tianya saw Ye Fan, she was also startled, but she quickly recovered, flashed him a quick glance, then walked towards Tantai Wanrong with a playful laugh, saying, “Giggle, Wanrong, I’ve come to mooch off your meal!”

“Hmm, Tian Ya,” Tantai Wanrong said with an elegant smile, intimately took Zhao Tianya’s hand, and walked over to Ye Fan.

She then released the hand and stood between Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya.

“Come, let me introduce the two of you,” she said with a smile.

“Little Fan, this is a very good friend of your aunt’s, Zhao Tianya, your Aunt Tian Ya.

Tian Ya, this is my adopted nephew, Ye Fan.”

Ye Fan looked at Zhao Tianya and saw that she was also looking at him, her pretty face carrying a smile, pretending to size him up.

But Ye Fan still noticed the slight teasing curl of her sexy lips and the mirth hidden in her gaze.

Seeing Zhao Tianya’s demeanor, it was clear she did not want Tantai Wanrong to know that they were already acquainted.

Ye Fan felt a bit uneasy and didn’t want Tantai Wanrong to know he had already met Zhao Tianya and that they had a good relationship.

“Little Fan, what are you dazed for, quickly call her Aunt Tian Ya,” Tantai Wanrong said.

Ye Fan came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, “Aunt Wanrong, Sister Zhao looks only a few years older than me.

Calling her ‘aunt’ wouldn’t that make her seem old?

Sister Zhao, wouldn’t you agree?”

Zhao Tianya originally felt the same, but seeing Ye Fan’s wry smile, she suddenly thought it would be fun to make Ye Fan call her ‘aunt’.

So, she mischievously shook her head with a senior’s authority and said, “Little Fan, that’s not right to say.

Hierarchy isn’t necessarily connected to age.

There are people in their forties and fifties who have to call someone in their teens ‘uncle’.

Since your Aunt Wanrong and I are sisters, of course, you should respectfully call me Aunt Tian Ya.

Are you looking down on your Aunt Tian Ya?”

Ye Fan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Knowing Zhao Tianya, she definitely didn’t like being called old and only liked to be called young.

If someone called her ‘younger sister’, she might happily laugh for half a day.

Now, she actually wanted him to call her ‘aunt’.

It was as if the sun had risen from the west.

Seeing Ye Fan’s surprised and very reluctant expression, Zhao Tianya found it even more amusing.

“Quick, call me.

Call Aunt Tian Ya, and you’ll get candy,” Zhao Tianya said, already laughing inside.

Tantai Wanrong also couldn’t help but chuckle, “Hehe, Little Fan, aren’t you going to call her?

Your Aunt Tian Ya is a wealthy lady.

If she’s pleased, you’ll be in for some good benefits.”

Qin Mengyao, standing to the side and seeing Ye Fan’s very reluctant expression, couldn’t help but take delight in his misfortune and started to goad, “Brother Ye, I often call her without any difficulty.

Hurry up and call her.

Aunt Tian Ya is very generous.

She might even take you to the zoo.

Hehehe…”

Ye Fan glared at Qin Mengyao in slight annoyance, causing her to suppress her laughter.

“Aunt, Aunt… Tian Ya,” Ye Fan said the name softly and bitterly.

Zhao Tianya pretended not to hear clearly and said, “What did you say, speak up, I didn’t hear you.”

Ye Fan was upset that Zhao Tianya was intentionally making this difficult for him in front of Tantai Wanrong, and he planned to properly teach Zhao Tianya a lesson when they met again in the future.

“Aunt Tian Ya,” Ye Fan took a deep breath and called out louder.

“Giggle, giggle…” Zhao Tianya burst into a fit of shy laughter, shaking with mirth, “Alright, alright, I also recognize this nephew!”
