Chapter 229 - Ye Fan is Very Frustrated

After laughing for a while, Zhao Tianya managed to suppress her laughter and said, “Come, nephew, let’s shake hands since it’s our first meeting.”

With that, she extended her delicate, fair hand toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan gave a bitter smile.

Was Zhao Tianya taking acting this seriously?

However, he still reached out, preparing to gently grasp Zhao Tianya’s slender, jade-like fingers.

But before he could touch Zhao Tianya’s slender fingers, she had already eagerly grasped his hand.

Hmm, very smooth and soft, almost boneless, and quite pleasant to touch.

Ye Fan thought to himself, and suddenly felt an itching in the palm of his hand.

He couldn’t help but look at Zhao Tianya in surprise.

This woman dared to teasingly scrape his palm with her pinky as she was pretending he should call her “aunt” while in the presence of Tantai Wanrong.

Zhao Tianya had a smile on her face, her charming eyes revealing a hint of mischief.

Ye Fan inwardly gave a wry smile, and then withdrew his hand.

At this moment, Tantai Wanrong didn’t forget to seek benefits for Ye Fan and said with a smile, “Tianya, since Little Fan is calling you aunt, shouldn’t you give him something to show your appreciation?”

“Giggle, exactly, a meeting gift is definitely necessary, and I should give double,” Zhao Tianya giggled happily.

“However, I don’t have any gifts on me right now.

After we finish eating, Little Fan, you can go shopping with your aunt, and whatever you like, you can buy, with no limits on the amount!”

Tantai Wanrong couldn’t help but be shocked.

Wasn’t this meeting gift a bit too generous?

But, the more generous the promises, the more they oftentimes just end up being jokes for amusement.

So, Tantai Wanrong smiled and said, “That’s too much.

Uh, just name one gift now.

I’ll make sure you give it to Little Fan.”

“Alright,” Zhao Tianya looked Ye Fan up and down, then said, “I’ll give a Rolex watch.

Of course, since I said double, the second gift will remain a secret, and I won’t let Wanrong know about it.”

Hearing Zhao Tianya’s promise of a Rolex watch, Tantai Wanrong nodded in satisfaction and said to Ye Fan, “Won’t you thank your Aunt Tianya?”

“Thank you,” Ye Fan said somewhat speechlessly, feeling that Tantai Wanrong was quite scheming too, forcefully extracting a Rolex watch worth over a hundred thousand from Zhao Tianya.

Obviously addicted to being called aunt by Ye Fan, Zhao Tianya mischievously said, “Who are you thanking?

Be clear about it.

Are you thanking your Aunt Wanrong for getting a Rolex watch from me, or your Aunt Tianya for giving you one?”

A multitude of black lines appeared on the back of Ye Fan’s head.

It seemed she was addicted to being called “Aunt Tianya” and wanted him not to drop those words.

“Thank you, Aunt Tianya,” Ye Fan had to reluctantly say.

“Giggle, that’s more like it,” Zhao Tianya giggled and, putting on a coddling demeanor, lightly patted Ye Fan’s shoulder with her hand, “Remember to be sweeter with your words.

As long as you keep your aunt happy, she will buy you whatever you want.”

Ye Fan felt embarrassed and hung his head, realizing Zhao Tianya’s treatment meant more challenging days ahead.

Qin Mengyao, seeing Ye Fan’s frustrated look, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Tantai Wanrong, noticing Ye Fan was somewhat unable to maintain his dignity, changed the subject, “Alright, now that you all know each other, let’s start eating.”

The four sat down at the table and prepared to dine.

However, Zhao Tianya’s bowl in front of her remained empty.

When Qin Mengyao reached out to help her serve some rice, Zhao Tianya stopped her.

Instead, Zhao Tianya turned to Ye Fan and in a commanding tone befitting an elder said, “Nephew, hurry up and serve your aunt a bowl of rice.”

Ye Fan’s face immediately turned into a sun-withered bitter melon, and Zhao Tianya really treated him like her nephew.

“Snicker—” Qin Mengyao couldn’t help but laugh.

Tantai Wanrong also couldn’t suppress a smile, saying to Ye Fan, “Little Fan, won’t you serve your Auntie Ya some rice?”

“Yes—” Ye Fan dragged out his response weakly and then picked up Zhao Tianya’s rice bowl, standing up to serve the rice.

Zhao Tianya couldn’t help but let out a burst of delighted giggling.

Though with a smiling face, Tantai Wanrong was secretly puzzled: Tianya liked to play pranks, but her eagerness towards Little Fan seemed a bit excessive.

Promising a Rolex watch worth over a hundred thousand in one breath, was that too generous?

Perhaps Little Fan was just particularly likable to Tianya.

Indeed, women tended to find him charming.

Thinking this, her confusion dissipated.

Ye Fan finished serving the rice and placed the bowl respectfully in front of Zhao Tianya, saying, “Auntie Ya, please enjoy your meal.”

He knew that Zhao Tianya had determined to tease him tonight, so he decided not to give her any chances to nitpick.

“Mm, Little Fan is indeed sensible,” Zhao Tianya said with a smile, in a tone like a senior.

As they continued eating, Ye Fan kept his head down and remained silent.

He had thought tonight’s dinner would be joyous; he hadn’t expected Zhao Tianya’s unexpected visit to completely spoil his mood.

Seeing his demeanor, Tantai Wanrong didn’t draw Ye Fan into the conversation.

She thought to herself, “Little Fan was already reluctant to call me aunt.

Now with Tianya deliberately flaunting the title to stifle Little Fan, he must be upset.

I’ll find a chance later to remind Tianya not to overdo it, lest Little Fan truly loses his temper.

However, Qin Mengyao was quite delighted to see Ye Fan’s sulky demeanor as he ate: “Humph, that’s for inviting yourself to my house for dinner.

Now you know your mistake, right?”

Zhao Tianya also felt very satisfied seeing Ye Fan like this.

Having teased Ye Fan many times since meeting him, she never let him have the upper hand.

Today, she finally managed to make him utterly despondent.

She secretly decided to keep using the “Auntie Ya” identity, ensuring that Ye Fan would always be exasperated to the point of spitting blood.

However, halfway through the meal, seeing Ye Fan still not saying a word, Zhao Tianya began to feel a bit guilty.

So, she quietly slipped off her high-heeled shoe and, extending her foot clad in a black stocking, touched Ye Fan’s calf.

Ye Fan, deeply engrossed in his gloomy meal, suddenly felt an unusually smooth and soft foot press against his under the table, and he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye.

Damn, isn’t that a bit too bold?

Although obscured by the tablecloth, aren’t you afraid Aunt Wanrong will notice as you stretch your foot over here?

If you dare, be bolder!

Ye Fan cursed inwardly.

“Giggle, dear nephew, why are you so silent?” Zhao Tianya said sweetly, gently rubbing Ye Fan’s calf with her foot under the table while placing a piece of broccoli into his bowl, “Have a piece of broccoli.

And after this, no more sulking, agreed?”

Her words had a pointed implication.

Ye Fan had no choice but to look up and face Zhao Tianya, expressionlessly saying, “Thank you, Auntie Ya.”

He emphasized the phrase “Auntie Ya” rather heavily, hinting that Zhao Tianya should stop her antics under the table.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianya didn’t feel embarrassed at all but continued smiling sweetly, “You’re welcome, it’s what an aunt should do.”

Ye Fan was thoroughly embarrassed; Zhao Tianya’s skin was indeed thick.

He couldn’t quite endure the strange sensation coming from under the table and forced himself to shift his legs away.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Zhao Tianya’s eyes.
