Chapter 457 - Concealment
The story starts in Chapter 457 of "Invincible Young Master in the City": Nervously watching Ye Fan leave, Mo Xiaoyan closed the door and leaned against it with... Donât miss it!
Nervously watching Ye Fan leave, Mo Xiaoyan closed the door and leaned against it with a long sigh of relief.
âI lost big this time!â she muttered under her breath, cursing softly, âThat was too easy on him.
Hmph, if he dares to be so fierce to me again, Iâll never pay him any attention!â
While muttering and scolding, she felt her face heat up, and when she looked in the full-length mirror inside the fitting room, she indeed saw her pretty face flushed and her hair and clothes somewhat disheveled.
She quickly took deep breaths to calm her racing heart and then straightened her hair and clothes to avoid leaving any traces.
Soon, she tidied herself up and walked out of the fitting room.
Arriving at Lu Xiaomanâs fitting room, Mo Xiaoyan knocked and called out, âSister, sister, are you there?â
âI am.
Hang on a moment,â Lu Xiaoman responded from inside.
She was trying on the third outfit after changing out of her second.
When she had come out after changing the second time, she didnât see Ye Fan.
She stood in front of the full-length mirror for a couple of minutes and still didnât see him, guessing he might have gone to the restroom.
Since Mo Xiaoyan also hadnât come out in new clothes, she picked a third new outfit to try on.
About two minutes later, Lu Xiaoman opened the door and, seeing Mo Xiaoyan standing at the threshold, asked, âSister, whatâs wrong?â
âSister, Brother-in-law didnât notice you just now, did he?â Mo Xiaoyan asked deliberately.
Lu Xiaoman shook her head slightly, âNo, he wasnât around when I came out in the second outfit.â
âOh, he didnât notice me either, hehe,â Mo Xiaoyan laughed smugly.
After a pause, Lu Xiaoman said, âSister, since Ye Fan hasnât noticed yet, letâs not impersonate each other anymore.â
âI havenât had enough fun yet,â Mo Xiaoyan said as though reluctant to stop.
She had actually wanted to stop the impersonation, for if Ye Fan were to discover that she was faking earlier, that could have serious consequences.
Thus, after a pause, she pretended to be disappointed and said, âAlright, letâs switch back.
Later, we must never mention anything that happened just now, lest our sneaky brother-in-law gets suspicious and starts scolding me again.â
âHehe, donât worry, I wonât tell,â Lu Xiaoman said with a smile.
Next, Mo Xiaoyan entered the fitting room, and the two switched their clothes and accessories like phones and purses.
After changing, when they were ready to leave the fitting room, Mo Xiaoyan told Lu Xiaoman, âWe canât go out at the same time; it might make brother-in-law suspicious.
Iâll go out first, and you follow a couple of minutes later.â
Lu Xiaoman, feeling a bit guilty like a thief, nodded in agreement.
Consequently, Mo Xiaoyan went out of the fitting room first and then headed toward the lounge sofas.
At that moment, Ye Fan had already pretended to come back from the restroom and was leisurely sitting on a sofa.
As Mo Xiaoyan approached Ye Fan, she lifted her pretty face and deliberately put on a little attitude, lightly snorting, âStinky brother-in-law, where did you go just now?
Surely you didnât follow some beauty after seeing her?â
Ye Fan smiled faintly, unconcerned, and said, âWhat are you talking about?
I went to the restroom just now.â
âGood excuse,â Mo Xiaoyan huffed, âHurry and tell me, does this outfit look good on me?â
Saying this, she twirled on the spot skillfully, her hair flying elegantly, making it easier for Ye Fan to have a look.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan only glanced casually and remarked, âLooks good.â
âPerfunctory!â Mo Xiaoyan huffed slightly dissatisfied and then, ignoring Ye Fan, walked up to a full-length mirror ahead to admire her reflection.
A little while later, Lu Xiaoman came over.
Ye Fan immediately stood up to greet her.
Mo Xiaoyan, seeing how differently Ye Fan treated Lu Xiaoman from her, couldnât help feeling somewhat jealous, yet she couldnât show it.
Around eleven at night, Ye Fan, carrying loads of large and small bags, followed the leading Lu Xiaoman sisters out of the shopping mall and walked to the parking lot where their car was parked.
At the car, fearing Lu Xiaoman might accidentally reveal their secret during the car ride with Ye Fan, Mo Xiaoman insisted on taking Lu Xiaoman home herself, telling Ye Fan he neednât bother.
Earlier, before Ye Fan had called for a meeting, Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan had already been out shopping, sharing just one car.
Due to the little tantrum Mo Xiaoyan had thrown when they first met tonight, both Ye Fan and Lu Xiaoman, seeing her unreasonable capriciousness, could only agree.
After stuffing the nightâs shopping haul into the car, Mo Xiaoyan urged Lu Xiaoman into her car and went to sit herself.
With a âbang,â she closed the car door, fastened her seatbelt, and somewhat eagerly started the car before driving out of the parking area ahead of Ye Fanâs car.
Once out of the parking lot, Mo Xiaoyan finally relaxed completely.
She put on a smile, her alluring lips slightly curled like a little cat that sneaked a fish undetected, humming the melody of Ye Fanâs song âOnly Love,â and then reached to turn on the music player.
âWho stands on peaks sword in hand, as one with heaven and earth?
Who embraces beauty, sinking into a thousand-year inebriation under the setting sun?
I tread over countless bones, journeying infinitely far,
Just to see your face clearlyâŚâ
In the quiet of the car, isolated from the noise outside, the voice of Prisoner Two, sung by Ye Fan filled the space, enchanting and moving, irresistibly captivating.
After listening for a bit, Lu Xiaoman could not help saying, âSister, donât you find this singerâs voice sounds like Ye Fanâs?â
âYeah, I also think itâs a bit similar,â Mo Xiaoyan laughed, âCould it be brother-in-law singing?
I heard that the singer is called Prisoner Two, wears a mask, and no one knows who he is.â
Lu Xiaoman shook her head with a smile, âThough Ye Fan sings well, he hasnât reached that level.
Besides, you donât know, he hasnât sung for six years.â
âSix, six years hasnât sung?â Mo Xiaoyan was taken aback, incredulously saying, âHe couldnât be bluffing, could he?â
âHow could that be?
He doesnât need to lie to me about this.
When we, along with colleagues from Emali Group, went to KTV back then, he only knew one or two songs; he really couldnât sing the others.â
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoyan indeed believed Ye Fan hadnât lied to Lu Xiaoman, and couldnât help thinking to herself, âBad brother-in-law, stinky Ye Fan, didnât expect you to be so awesome and yet so low-key!â
As they chatted, âOnly Loveâ finally ended, and the next song, âShe Said,â began.
After listening to Ye Fanâs two songs in succession, Lu Xiaoman found them very likable and said, âNext time weâre free to go to KTV, Iâll have Ye Fan sing these two songs; he should sing them really well.â
âHehe, they would definitely sound good,â Mo Xiaoyan laughed in agreement, secretly a bit proud that she was among the very few who knew the secret that Ye Fan was Prisoner Two and Prisoner Two was Ye Fan.
