Chapter 240 - The Second Gift

Zhao Tianya kissed Ye Fan’s cheek, causing his heart to jolt, and he briefly lost control of his body, freezing on the spot for a second or two before quickly regaining control.

“Zhao, stop messing around, okay?” Ye Fan turned to Zhao Tianya, looking like a pure white flower that had been ravaged by a storm.

“Pfft—” Zhao Tianya, looking at Ye Fan’s expression, couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably, which drew sideways glances.

Ye Fan had a look of innocence and helplessness.

After laughing for a while, Zhao Tianya managed to suppress her laughter and said with a smile, “What were you thinking?

The kiss was just to fulfill one of the promises I made to you the night before yesterday.”

“The night before yesterday?” Ye Fan asked, confused.

Zhao Tianya blinked her charming eyes and smiled, “Yes.

That night, you called me aunt, and I promised you two gifts.

One was a gold Rolex watch, and the other, heehee, was the kiss just now.

Heehee, quite a unique gift, right?”

She ended with a proud look on her pretty face.

“Hehe, indeed, it is quite unique,” Ye Fan said with a wry smile.

Then, Zhao Tianya stretched out her delicate white hand and said, “Give me my divorce papers.”

Ye Fan immediately handed over the divorce papers to Zhao Tianya.

Zhao Tianya took the papers, carefully put them away, and laughed, “Don’t worry, your sister here isn’t that desperate.

I don’t plan on getting married for at least a few years.

Plus, I don’t like marrying younger men.

Imagine walking around with a younger husband; the stares alone would be embarrassing.”

Hearing this, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a bit uneasy, um, slightly disappointed.

Next, Zhao Tianya stood up and returned to her seat.

Around ten o’clock, while Ye Fan was secretly enduring Zhao Tianya’s temptations, he was chatting happily with her.

Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Bobo.

As Ye Fan looked up at Zhao Tianya, she was already smiling, “Go take the call, your aunt won’t be snatched away anytime soon.”

Ye Fan responded and got up from his booth to find a quiet spot to answer Bobo’s call.

“Bobo, what’s up?” Ye Fan asked.

Bobo’s voice came through the phone with an excited giggle, “Heehee, Brother Ye, good evening.

I have some good news for you.”

“Hehe, what good news?” Ye Fan asked with a smile.

“I went to practice martial arts at Gulan Martial Arts Hall tonight,” Bobo said cheerfully, “and just after practice, my master asked about you.”

“Oh?” Ye Fan responded.

It had been so long since the misunderstanding with Bobo’s master, Lin Yuehua, that Ye Fan had almost forgotten about it.

Bobo said, “From the tone of my master, it seems she has started to forgive you.

Brother Ye, should we go see her together tomorrow?

I bet she will definitely forgive you.”

“Hehe,” Ye Fan chuckled lightly, sounding somewhat disinterested, “Forget it.

I don’t think I’ll go to Gulan Martial Arts Hall anymore.”

He might be leaving Hua Hai City in less than two months.

There was no point in going to Gulan Martial Arts Hall to further any awkwardness.

However, he quickly added, “Bobo, thank you.”

Bobo caring so much about his situation moved him a little.

“Hehe, no thanks,” Bobo laughed, “Heehee, Brother Ye, when are you free?

I really want to hang out with you.”

“Hehe, sure.

I’ll call you in a few days,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Bobo immediately laughed joyfully, “Heehee, okay, I’ll be waiting for your call!”

At around 10:30 p.m., Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya walked out of the Tianfei Night Club together and headed towards the parking lot.

Neither of them drank much, as they mainly chatted and snacked.

Walking Zhao Tianya to her fashionable red Porsche, Ye Fan said, “Okay, goodbye.”

“Giggle, you sly thing, thanks for keeping me company for drinks,” Zhao Tianya teased Ye Fan with a laugh, “Remember me when you get home.”

Ye Fan forced a smile and replied, “Zhao, if you’re not drunk, please don’t talk nonsense.

Goodbye.”

After that, he turned and walked to his Citroen.

Leaving Tianfei Night Club, Ye Fan went to Newcomer Park to practice.

Unfortunately, he might have arrived too late and didn’t encounter Gu Mingshuang.

The next morning, Ye Fan skipped work and drove directly to Lu Xiaoman’s residential area to pick her up.

Since she had an “interview,” Lu Xiaoman had applied light makeup and wore a relatively new OL suit, which, combined with her stunning face and tall, slender figure, exuded the allure of a professional woman.

Ye Fan was frankly mesmerized.

“Xiaoman, you look beautiful,” Ye Fan said, coming back to his senses with a smile.

Lu Xiaoman’s pretty face blushed slightly as she chuckled softly, “Smooth-talking early in the morning, aren’t we a bit restless?”

Ye Fan laughed heartily and turned to open the passenger door for her, inviting her to get into the car.

Lu Xiaoman’s home wasn’t in Xingxing Road, so it was a bit far.

After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at Suo Yu Cafe on Xingxing Road.

After getting out of the car, Lu Xiaoman, checking the time, said anxiously, “We should hurry; being late for an interview will cost us a lot of points.”

“Hehe, sure,” responded Ye Fan, laughing inwardly, thinking she would still be the manager of the martial arts hall, even if she were late by a whole day.

Lu Xiaoman, holding a portfolio with her resume and certificates, hurried towards the Suo Yu Cafe while telling Ye Fan, “Quickly call your friend and ask him which private room he’s in.”

Ye Fan calmly smiled and answered, “No need, he just texted me.

He’s waiting for us in private room number two.”

Soon, Ye Fan and Lu Xiaoman arrived at the entrance of private room number two of the Suo Yu Cafe.

Just as Ye Fan was about to knock, Lu Xiaoman suddenly whispered urgently, “Wait!”

Ye Fan paused knocking and turned, somewhat puzzled, to look at Lu Xiaoman.

She quickly straightened her outfit, adjusted her posture, and held the portfolio in front of her lower abdomen while taking a deep breath to calm her heartbeat and emotions.

Watching Lu Xiaoman’s series of actions, it was clear to Ye Fan that she was very eager to land the manager position at the martial arts hall.

He couldn’t help but think: Hopefully Xiaoman’s wishes come true.

Landing the position of the martial arts hall manager would be a happy event for her and might just alleviate her melancholy and pessimistic thoughts of late.

“It’s okay now,” whispered Lu Xiaoman.

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous, just relax and believe in yourself.

Besides, he’s my friend, and we get along well.”

“Mm,” Lu Xiaoman nodded slightly, calmed immediately by Ye Fan’s reassurance.

Then, Ye Fan started knocking on the door.
