Chapter 421 - Different Encounters
Chapter 421 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" starts unfolding: After ending the call with Mo Shang, Ye Fan immediately called the Director of National... Discover more!
After ending the call with Mo Shang, Ye Fan immediately called the Director of National Security, Song Hongbing, asking for his help in arranging an overseas visa and plane ticket, with the destination being Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
The reason for choosing Tanzaniaâs Dar es Salaam as the first stop in Africa instead of the Democratic Republic of Congo where the kidnapping incident occurred was because the Dragon Groupâs main base in Africa was located in Dar es Salaam.
After the call, Ye Fan guessed that it would be a few hours before he could board a plane, so he decided to meet Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman.
Approaching midnight, Ye Fan took a taxi to the Emali Group and knocked on the door of Li Zhaojunâs office.
âIâm back,â Ye Fan said as he closed the door and walked toward the coffee table and sofa.
Li Zhaojun looked up at Ye Fan, responded faintly, and continued to review her work documents.
After sitting down on the sofa, Ye Fan waited for a while, but seeing Li Zhaojun busy with her affairs as if she had no time for him, he felt uncomfortable.
In the past, he wouldnât have minded, but ever since Qiao Feixuan came to Hua Hai a few days ago and claimed he didnât care about Li Zhaojun, that would be lying to himself.
Now, having specifically come to the Emali Group just after a life-threatening experience, Li Zhaojun treated him with an attitude that was extremely indifferent.
Although Ye Fan knew that Li Zhaojun was unaware, this indifferent attitude truly chilled his heart.
After sitting for another five or six minutes, Ye Fan finally stood up without waiting for Li Zhaojun to stop her work and come over to talk to him.
He stood up, looked at Li Zhaojun, and said calmly, âI have another urgent matter, and I might have to leave Hua Hai today.â
âOh,â replied Li Zhaojun while still engrossed in her work.
Seeing this, Ye Fan said nothing more and turned to stride out of Li Zhaojunâs office.
After the door closed, Li Zhaojun paused her work, lifted her beautiful face for two or three seconds, and then continued her work.
However, within a minute, she stopped working again, picked up her phone from the desk, and made a call.
The call connected quickly, and Li Zhaojun said faintly into the phone, âItâs mealtime, have you eaten yet?
Letâs have lunch together in the cafeteria.â
Six or seven minutes later, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun sat face to face in the private cafeteria for the leadership and had lunch.
Although it was the first time Ye Fan openly had lunch with Li Zhaojun, no one in the cafeteria felt surprised.
Everyone in the group âknewâ that Ye Fan was Li Zhaojunâs cousin and was now her special assistant, so it was perfectly normal for Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun to have lunch together.
Even though they sat facing each other, neither Ye Fan nor Li Zhaojun spoke.
Li Zhaojun didnât speak; she was waiting for Ye Fan to take the initiative to tell her where he had been and what he had done the past few days.
And Ye Fan could not possibly tell Li Zhaojun what he had been doing.
As time passed and Li Zhaojun saw that Ye Fan did not speak, her expression grew increasingly icy.
As for Ye Fan, he was already feeling uncomfortable and expected Li Zhaojun to speak first.
However, seeing Li Zhaojun remain silent and her expression becoming colder made his heart feel even chillier, making it even less likely for him to speak.
Until the end of the meal, they did not converse at all.
Walking out of the cafeteria one after the other, Li Zhaojun silently headed towards the elevator while Ye Fan walked toward the groupâs main entrance.
As Ye Fan reached the main entrance, he suddenly heard his phone ring.
Expecting it to be Li Zhaojun, he was surprised to see that it was from Hu Jing.
âHey beautiful Hu, whatâs up?â Ye Fan adjusted his mood, answered the call, and asked with a light smile.
From the phone came Hu Jingâs coquettish rebuke, âYe Fan, where have you been these past few days?
You suddenly vanished off the face of the earth, and even your phone was unreachable.
Now that youâre back, why didnât you let me know?â
âHehe, sorry about that.
Actually, I just got back at twelve oâclock,â Ye Fan apologized and then quickly added, âHow have you been these last few days?â
âHeehee, good and not so good,â Hu Jing giggled seductively.
She paused, waiting for Ye Fan to ask further, but there was silence on his end.
She had to continue, âGood because Iâve lost some weight these days.
Not good because Iâve been feeling down.â
Her words meant one thing: she had slimmed down from longing for him.
However, Ye Fan was not in the mood to flirt with Hu Jing and pretended not to understand, saying, âOh, you should take care of yourself and try to manage your emotions to keep a happy and optimistic heart.
Uh, I have to go now, my taxiâs here.
Bye.â
Without caring whether Hu Jing was upset, Ye Fan hung up, got into the taxi, and then instructed the driver, âDriver, please go to Qidong Commercial Building on Xingxian East Road in Liu district.â
Almost half an hour later, Ye Fan entered the office of the Huayang Martial Arts School.
Lu Xiaoman, busy at her work, thought it was Shi Sheng who needed her.
She looked up and saw the person she had been longing for, immediately her face lit up with surprise, âYe Fan!â
She dropped the pen in her hand, joyfully walked briskly from behind her desk to greet Ye Fan, and without any shyness, she took the initiative to hold Ye Fanâs hands with her delicate ones.
âYouâre back.
Thatâs great!â she exclaimed happily.
She and Ye Fan hadnât seen each other not just for those few days he was away from Hua Hai, so seeing him suddenly appear made her joyously surprised.
Ye Fan looked at Lu Xiaomanâs beautiful face brimming with joy; her eyes filled with tender love melted his once sullen mood from the Emali Group completely away.
His resolute heart softened, filled with tenderness.
He couldnât help but show a gentle smile, opened his arms, and pulled Lu Xiaomanâs curvaceous body into his embrace before lowering his head to deeply kiss her soft, delicate, sweet lips.
Lu Xiaoman didnât resist; she was irresistible, so her arms encircled Ye Fanâs neck, clumsily reciprocating his passionate kiss.
A man battles through hardships, risks his life, and endures bitterness outside, all to come home to his womanâs warm and passionate welcome, doesnât he?
Just as Ye Fan and Lu Xiaoman were kissing passionately, suddenly a shout came, âSisâŚah!â
Ye Fan heard the shout at the door but didnât plan to stop immediately.
However, Lu Xiaoman, already embarrassed to the extreme, struggled out of his embrace.
Ye Fan frowned, turned his head, and saw Mo Xiaoyan, who looked just like Lu Xiaoman, standing at the door covering her pretty face with her pale hands, though her eyes were peeking through her widely spread fingers.
âYou really are a light bulb between me and Xiaoman sis!â Ye Fan finally couldnât help but say.
Mo Xiaoyan lowered her hands, her face blushing red, but, not admitting defeat, she pouted with her delicate chin and retorted, âItâs your fault for not closing the door!
I havenât even started on what you were doing in the office!â
Realizing her words might hurt Lu Xiaoman, she quickly added, âMy sister is such a pure person; itâs all your corrupting influence!â
