Chapter 513 - Fingers Intertwined
Chapter 513 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" opens introducing the plot: Li Zhaojun, Tantai Wanrong, and Qin Mengyao hadnât noticed a thing about Ye Fan and... Continue exploring!
Li Zhaojun, Tantai Wanrong, and Qin Mengyao hadnât noticed a thing about Ye Fan and Zhao Tianyaâs tricks, nor could they have imagined that Zhao Tianya would do such things in the water.
At that moment, the reason Zhao Tianya was so attentive to Ye Fan was very clear to them.
Actually, the main thing was, they were all unaware of the true relationship between Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya.
On the surface, in their eyes, Ye Fan seemed a bit repulsed by Zhao Tianya, with Zhao Tianya tending to tease Ye Fan more.
But since their actual interactions were minimal, they all believed the relationship between Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya to be rather plain and that their acquaintance and sitting together were solely due to Tantai Wanrongâs presence.
Seeing that Li Zhaojun, Tantai Wanrong, and Qin Mengyao didnât seem suspicious, Ye Fan closed his eyes again to prevent his expression from betraying himself.
Next, while massaging Ye Fanâs shoulders, Zhao Tianya chatted and giggled with Tantai Wanrong and Li Zhaojun.
When she found something particularly amusing, her laughter would make her tremble, and Ye Fan could only grit his teeth in silent enjoyment.
After soaking in the hot spring for a while, Qin Mengyao, seeing Zhao Tianya continuously massaging Ye Fanâs shoulders, felt a bit tempted.
She turned toward Tantai Wanrong and approached her, saying, âAuntie, let me massage your shoulders too.â
Saying this, her hands landed on Tantai Wanrongâs smooth, fragrant shoulders.
Tantai Wanrong nodded with a smile in agreement.
Qin Mengyao happily started to knead Tantai Wanrongâs fragrant shoulders meticulously and vigorously.
Their close familial affection was clearly evident.
Zhao Tianya had massaged Ye Fan for around half an hour, and her hands were extremely sore.
Thinking that Ye Fanâs anger should have subsided by now, she finally stopped and returned to her original spot to soak comfortably in the hot spring.
Seeing Tantai Wanrong and Ye Fan getting their shoulders massaged made Li Zhaojun feel somewhat tempted.
She knew Ye Fan was quite skilled with massage, not to mention his resuscitating her grandfather.
Just the last time she had menstrual cramps, the way Ye Fan massaged her feet not only relieved the pain but also felt extremely comforting.
If at this moment, while soaking in the hot spring, Ye Fan could massage her shoulders, then it would undoubtedly be very enjoyable.
After Zhao Tianya finished massaging him, Ye Fan sat back down on the stone steps and placed the small stool beside the pool.
The rest of the hot spring soak proceeded normally, with Tantai Wanrong, Zhao Tianya, and Li Zhaojun continuing their conversations and laughter.
Moreover, they were no longer exclusively focused on their own discussions, but consciously included Ye Fan in the group chat.
After soaking for about an hour and a half, everyone became a bit hungry and got out together to eat.
Li Zhaojun, Tantai Wanrong, and the other women werenât too concerned about Ye Fan and boldly showcased their soaked and glamorous swimsuit-clad beauty.
Ye Fan only wished he had an extra pair of eyes; there was just too much to take in.
Of course, after a while, they wrapped themselves in towels, modestly covering their beautiful figures.
When they sat down to eat, Li Zhaojun took the initiative to sit next to Ye Fan, very close to him.
She even poured Ye Fan a glass of red wine.
âYe Fan, thank you for last night.â Li Zhaojun raised a glass of red wine toward Ye Fan, her bright eyes looking directly into his.
Ye Fan, looking puzzled, raised his glass in response, âLast night?â
He couldnât think of anything he did last night that would warrant such gratitude and a toast from the cool and proud Li Zhaojun.
âI fell asleep last nightâŚâ Li Zhaojun said, âHehe, last night was probably the best sleep Iâve had in years.â
Only then did Ye Fan understand that Li Zhaojun was thanking him for carrying her back to bed the previous night and could not help but laugh, âNo need to be polite, it was just a small effort.â
Saying that, he touched his glass lightly with Li Zhaojunâs, and then they both took a sip.
Though Ye Fan had just a sip of wine, he glanced at Li Zhaojun and saw that after she took a sip of red wine, a blush rose on her cute face, and her eyes, full of affection, gazed at him.
Two people looked at each other for a while, Ye Fan shifted his gaze away to avoid her look.
However, the next moment, he felt under the table a boneless, greasy, delicate and smooth little hand gently grasp his left hand that was resting on his thigh.
He couldnât help but startle, raising his head to look at Li Zhaojun, whose radiant, beautiful eyes still gazed at him, the corners of her sexy and attractive lips lifted slightly, revealing an enchanting smile.
Ye Fan felt conflicted inside; Li Zhaojunâs gesture was clearly an overture,
Fortunately, Li Zhaojun only lightly held his hand before quickly retracting her own.
Ye Fan silently breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating, resting for a bit, Ye Fan and others continued to return to the hot spring pool for a soak.
This time, upon returning to the hot spring pool, positions changed again.
Li Zhaojun and Zhao Tianya switched places, making Li Zhaojun now on Ye Fanâs right.
After the switch, Li Zhaojun moved closer to Ye Fan, initiating conversation with him, flashing charming smiles every now and then.
Her smiling, exceedingly beautiful face nearly mesmerized Ye Fan.
Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun chatted softly, leaning close together, while Tantai Wanrong and Zhao Tianya did not interfere, also whispering together on their side.
âYe Fan, last time when I had a stomachache, you massaged the bottom of my feet, I felt a comfortable warmth flowing from the soles all the way up, warming my whole body, it was very soothing,â Li Zhaojun asked with some curiosity, âLater, when I went to a professional foot therapy shop, I didnât feel the same at all.
Why is that?â
âItâs Inner Strength,â Ye Fan said.
He thought Li Zhaojun, being the direct descendant of the Li family, should have been aware of the existence of ancient martial arts.
To his surprise, Li Zhaojun asked in both amazement and confusion, âInner Strength?
Is it like the Inner Strength in martial arts novels?â
As it turned out, Li Zhaojun was so marginalized within the Li family that she had never heard of ancient martial arts.
Ye Fan frowned slightly; ancient martial arts were not a secret among large clans, and many descendants of large families were aware of its existence, with some like himself even becoming disciples of powerful ancient martial arts masters.
Seeing that Li Zhaojun knew nothing of ancient martial arts, Ye Fan couldnât help but feel somewhat sorry for her presumably tough childhood in the Li family and patiently explained it.
After listening, Li Zhaojun was visibly astonished and then asked Ye Fan curiously, âYou have also trained in ancient martial arts, what level are you at now?â
âDark Strength,â Ye Fan said.
Li Zhaojun couldnât help but say, âThatâs amazing.
Can you teach me too, please?â
Ye Fan shook his head slightly and said, âI am sorry, I cannot impart it without permission from my sect.â
Although he could teach anotherâs sectâs techniques like Shi Sheng and Lu Chengqiang did, Ye Fan didnât intend to have more excessive contact with Li Zhaojun.
âOh, thatâs really a pity,â Li Zhaojun said.
As they talked, they sat closer and closer.
At that moment, Li Zhaojun stealthily stretched out her hand in the water and grasped Ye Fanâs hand.
Since this had already occurred once before, Ye Fan wasnât too surprised, letting Li Zhaojun hold his hand without resistance or initiative.
Li Zhaojun didnât ask for Ye Fan to respond in any way; she just lightly held for a while, then her jade hand turned, weaving her slender fingers between his, intertwining their fingers, and then continued chatting with Ye Fan, from time to time revealing captivating smiles.
