(Part 1) 472: Chapter 468: Lu Xiaomanâs Childhood Sweetheart?
(Part 1) Nearly half an hour later, Ye Fan drove to the Huayang Martial Arts Studio.
By this time, it was already past 10:30 p.m., but the studio was still brightly lit, and groups of customers and visitors were coming out.
In the car at the Tianfei Night Club parking lot, although Hu Jing was very forward, and Ye Fan was teased to burning passion, the two of them ultimately did not take the final step.
Entering the Huayang Martial Arts Studio, Ye Fan first encountered Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng.
The two men were standing beside a huge screen, talking about something; Shi Sheng was standing upright while Lu Chengqiang leaned casually against the screen.
As Ye Fan approached them, Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng quickly noticed him.
âBrother Ye!â Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng greeted him cheerfully.
Ye Fan punched each of them in the chest and laughed, âYou guys worked hard today.â
âHaha, boss, are you going to treat us to some fun tonight?â Lu Chengqiang said with a wide grin.
Shi Sheng then spoke seriously, âThis is my career too.
Thank you, Brother Ye, for making it happen.â
Before retiring, he had wanted to own a martial arts studio.
Although it was delayed by nearly three months, the studio he got was more than ten times better than what he had wanted.
Moreover, given Lu Xiaomanâs ambitious plans, the studio would continue to grow and chains of martial arts studios would spread across all the cities in the country.
âHaha, Shi, youâre always so polite.
You should learn a bit from Qiangzi on this,â Ye Fan said with a loud laugh.
âNow that the studio is finally open, your path is clear.
Keep training hard, and I hope to see you reach beyond the Dark Level to the Transformative Level someday!â
Although Shi Sheng had good talent and was very dedicated to his training, he started practicing traditional martial arts at too old an age to ever reach the Grand Path of Embryonic Breathing.
Shi Sheng nodded vigorously.
Lu Chengqiang called out, âBrother Ye, you havenât answered my question yet.â
âYou live in a bar every day, isnât that enough fun?â Ye Fan said in a slightly annoyed tone.
Lu Chengqiang smiled, âThatâs different.
Itâs boring to play by myself.
Itâs fun when Iâm with you.â
Ye Fan shook his head helplessly, âWhen we close later, everyone will go for a late-night snack.â
âGreat!â Lu Chengqiang clapped his hands and exclaimed, âLetâs go to my bar.
Itâs on the house!â
Ye Fan nodded.
Lu Chengqiang laughed heartily.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Ye Fan said, âAlright, you guys keep talking.
Iâm going to see Xiaoman.â
âHehe, sure thing,â Lu Chengqiang said with a particularly sleazy and lewd smile, âThe sister-in-law had it the toughest today.
You should indeed give her some special comfortâŚâ
Ye Fan, annoyed, gave Lu Chengqiang a kick that sent him flying, cursed âA dogâs mouth canât spit out ivory!â, and then walked further into the martial arts studio.
Passing through the training hall and continuing towards the office, he ran into Mo Xiaoyan.
Ye Fan was about to greet Mo Xiaoyan when she pretended not to see him, deliberately turned her body aside, and started talking to a couple of customers, introducing something.
With a smile, Ye Fan shook his head slightly; he figured that Mo Xiaoyan was probably too embarrassed to face him, at least for a while, after what happened under the bed in the afternoon.
So, he did not greet Mo Xiaoyan and went straight to the office.
Mo Xiaoyan felt Ye Fan pass by her without saying hello, and another wave of irritation hit her heart, silently blaming Ye Fan for having no conscience.
Upon reaching the office, Lu Xiaoman was busy organizing some documents and checking accounts.
âDirector Lu, youâre busy, I see.â Ye Fan walked into the office and greeted Lu Xiaoman with a smile.
Lu Xiaoman looked up and gave Ye Fan a coquettish glance, playfully saying, âDirector Ye, are you here to inspect the work?
Could it be that you donât trust this young lady and came specially to supervise?â
She said, put down the work she was doing, and stood up.
Ye Fan extended his hand in a gesture inviting Lu Xiaoman to sit back down and said, âYouâre busy, donât mind me.
If work gets interrupted, it might take even longer to finish.â
âAlright.
Just wait for a moment; Iâll be quick,â said Lu Xiaoman.
Ye Fan nodded and walked leisurely to the sofa to sit down.
After seven or eight minutes, Lu Xiaoman finally finished her work and stood up to walk in front of the sofa.
Ye Fan reached out with a smile, took Lu Xiaomanâs delicate hand, and pulled her to sit beside him.
âYou must be exhausted today,â Ye Fan asked with a caring look, gazing at Lu Xiaomanâs slightly tired, pretty face.
Lu Xiaoman smiled and shook her head, âNot at all.
Iâm very happy and joyful, full of energy, not tired in the slightest.â
âAh, Iâm doomed!
It turns out youâre a strong, independent woman!â Ye Fan exclaimed somewhat dramatically, âFrom now on, wonât I have to live in the dazzling light of your radiance?â
Lu Xiaoman covered her mouth with a âpfftâ and laughed, casting a coquettish glance at Ye Fan while proudly sticking out her chest, jokingly saying, âExactly.
From now on, youâll be kept by me!
Shouldnât you hurry up and wait on me hand and foot while Miss here hasnât truly made her fortune?â
âYes, yes, yesâŚâ Ye Fan echoed in agreement, quickly pouring a cup of tea and ârespectfullyâ presented it to Lu Xiaoman, saying, âHaha, my queen, please have some tea.â
Lu Xiaoman was already laughing so hard she couldnât sit straight, slumping onto the sofa.
Ye Fan couldnât help but laugh out loud as well.
After a while, Lu Xiaoman managed to control her laughter and sit up, her face no longer showing any sign of fatigue.
âDirector Lu, please have some tea,â Ye Fan said, still holding the cup.
Lu Xiaoman took the cup with a smile, not drinking herself, but instead brought it to Ye Fanâs lips to feed him, tenderly saying, âI only wish to snuggle in your embrace forever.
I donât want to be a strong, independent woman at all.â
Ye Fan smiled and drank the tea.
About ten minutes later, the martial arts gym officially closed for the night, and a group of more than thirty people, including Lu Xiaoman, Shi Sheng, and other coaches, logistics, administrative managers, receptionists, and cleaners, took a ride to Lu Chengqiangâs Heroic Bar for a late-night snack.
When they arrived at Heroic Bar, they went straight to the second floor, where Lu Chengqiang had already phoned ahead to reserve two luxurious private rooms.
Amidst lively chatter and laughter, the late-night meal finally ended around midnight.
The coaches and employees left, and Shi Sheng personally saw them off into taxis, providing ample fare.
Once the staff and coaches had departed, only Ye Fan, Lu Xiaoman, Shi Sheng, Mo Xiaoyan, and Lu Chengqiang remained.
After saying their goodbyes, Ye Fan drove Lu Xiaoman home.
During the late-night snack, Lu Xiaoman had consumed a few glasses of red wine and was slightly tipsy.
This time, taking Lu Xiaoman home was not to the old, unsecured neighborhood of the past, but to a new, more upscale one called the Italian Roma Neighborhood, featuring a European style.
Moving into the Italian Roma Neighborhood was her adoptive parentsâ request.
Three months ago, Lu Xiaoman used the excuse of being appointed as the general manager of Huayang Martial Arts Gym and received a company-provided house, allowing her adoptive parents to choose it themselves.
They fell in love with this neighborhood, finding the European style very luxurious.
After meticulous decoration, the apartment had already been officially occupied over twenty days earlier.
From the community gate to the foot of Lu Xiaomanâs building, Ye Fan felt quite satisfied with the neighborhoodâs security.
His worries about the hidden dangers in Lu Xiaomanâs former residence had essentially disappeared.
âIâll take you upstairs,â Ye Fan said as they got out of the car.
Lu Xiaomanâs cheeks flushed with a shy nod.
