Chapter 517 - Protecting Food
Chapter 517 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" starts with: The next morning, Li Zhaojun and Tantai Wanrong waited for a long time, but Zhao... Continue exploring!
The next morning, Li Zhaojun and Tantai Wanrong waited for a long time, but Zhao Tianya still didnât get out of bed.
As it approached ten in the morning, Li Zhaojun, Tantai Wanrong, and the othersâ stomachs were growling with hunger.
Unable to bear it any longer, Tantai Wanrong asked Qin Mengyao to call Zhao Tianya to get up.
Qin Mengyao knocked for quite a while before a lazy, muffled voice came from the room, obviously just woken by the disturbance, âWho is it?â
âAuntie Tianya, time to get up,â Qin Mengyao called out.
Zhao Tianya answered, yawning, âWhatâs the rush?
Let me sleep a bit longer.â
âNo, itâs almost ten oâclock,â Qin Mengyao said.
âOh, so itâs almost ten already, no wonder Iâm so hungry,â responded Zhao Tianya from inside, âIâm still so sleepy and tired, I wonât go out to have fun today.
You guys can go without me, donât worry about me.
Oh right, Yaoyao, can you wash two apples and bring them up?
And some other things to fill my stomach.â
Qin Mengyao stood rooted to the spot, not responding immediately.
In her memory, Zhao Tianya was always full of energy.
Although everyone went to bed late last night, it shouldnât have made her so exhausted that she couldnât get up now.
Tantai Wanrong and Li Zhaojun, as well as Ye Fan, all heard what Zhao Tianya said.
Tantai Wanrong and Li Zhaojun were a bit puzzled, but Ye Fan knew perfectly well what was going on.
âWhy did she suddenly get out of bed?
Could she be sick with a cold?â Tantai Wanrong murmured to herself, then walked to the door of Zhao Tianyaâs room, opened it, and went in, closing the door behind her.
Upon entering the room and seeing Zhao Tianya still lying in bed, she couldnât help but express her concern, âAre you sick?â
When Zhao Tianya heard Tantai Wanrong come in, she sat up at once, and with a forced smile, said, âBig sister, Iâm fine, just felt like sleeping in.â
Tantai Wanrong examined Zhao Tianyaâs complexion.
Though she seemed a little sleep-deprived, her color was still good, even rosyânot at all like someone who was sick.
âWhy do you want to sleep in all of a sudden?â she asked, sitting down at the bedside.
As she sat down, she accidentally saw the wastebasket beside the bed and her gaze stopped there.
The trash can was filled with many used white tissues, layered upon each other, clean without a spot, which seemed wasteful.
Zhao Tianya, noticing Tantai Wanrong staring at something, followed her gaze and was horrified to see it was the wastebasket.
She couldnât help but feel a âthudâ in her heart, and she was instantly fully awake.
âBig sister, donât look!â she hastily pulled Tantai Wanrong away, trying to stop her from continuing to look at the trash.
Tantai Wanrong, pulled forcefully by Zhao Tianya, stopped looking at the wastebasket and turned to face Zhao Tianya.
Zhao Tianya, with a flushed face, stammered, âLast night IâŚ
uh, I couldnât resist, so I justâŚ
hahaâŚâ
Tantai Wanrong naturally got the implication.
Even though she was always dignified and composed, she couldnât help but blush at that moment.
âYouâre really something, Iâm getting restless on your behalf!â She pinched Zhao Tianyaâs waist, âYou should take care of that at home, what are you doing doing it in a hotel?
Hotels are dirty.â
Zhao Tianya, seeing that Tantai Wanrong believed her, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, cried out in fake pain, and then laughed awkwardly, âHaha, I couldnât control myself.â
Tantai Wanrong shook her head disapprovingly, but suddenly thought of yesterdayâs hot spring event and her tone became serious, âYou werenâtâŚ
fantasizing about Ye Fan, were you?â
âNo, no!â Zhao Tianya immediately denied, âHow could that be possible?â
âYou better not tease Ye Fan,â Tantai Wanrong said seriously, âAnd in the future, in front of Ye Fan, you should pay more attention to your image.â
Zhao Tianya tried to probe, âLook at how protective you are of him.â
Tantai Wanrong said with an unquestionable tone, âDonât try to pull the wool over my eyes!
Donât mess with Ye Fan, remember that!â
âI understand,â Zhao Tianya lowered her head and replied.
At four oâclock in the afternoon, Ye Fan and his party returned to Hua Hai City.
After dropping off Li Zhaojun, Tantai Wanrong, and the other two women at their homes, Ye Fan drove to Huayang Martial Arts Gym to find Lu Xiaoman.
Having not seen him for a few days, Lu Xiaoman greeted Ye Fan with a joyful face, immediately walked out from behind her desk, and approached Ye Fan with a shy eagerness to hold his hands.
After exchanging some intimate words and knowing that Lu Xiaoman still had work to do, Ye Fan left the office to walk around the gym, waiting for Lu Xiaoman to finish her work, so they could go out for dinner together.
At around six oâclock, Mo Xiaoyan drove to the gym to join Lu Xiaoman for dinner and naturally ran into Ye Fan.
As Ye Fan greeted her with a smile, Mo Xiaoyan let out a haughty snort, turned her pretty face away, and ignored Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was a bit baffled by Mo Xiaoyanâs reaction.
After six oâclock, Ye Fan, Lu Xiaoman, and Mo Xiaoyan went out for dinner.
At the dinner table, Mo Xiaoyan was still giving Ye Fan the cold shoulder.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoman asked, âXiaoyan, are you having another quarrel with Ye Fan?â
âNo,â Mo Xiaoyan said.
âThen why do you look so unhappy?â Lu Xiaoman said.
Mo Xiaoyan glared at Ye Fan and then told Lu Xiaoman, âSis, just look at him, several days without checking in on you, and on the weekend no less.
He must have been frolicking with some fox spirit!â
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoman couldnât help but chuckle, âI thought it was something serious.
Thatâs perfectly normal.
Everyone has their own business to attend to, itâs not like we can be together all the time.â
Ye Fan apologised embarrassingly to Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman shook her head gently, laughing softly, âItâs fine.
Even if you came to find me, I wouldnât have had the time to pay attention to you.
The gym has just opened, and I have a lot of work to do.â
Even though Lu Xiaoman didnât mind, Mo Xiaoyan still took it to heart and remained sullen with Ye Fan throughout the meal.
After dinner, Ye Fan took the initiative to suggest going shopping, and Lu Xiaoman agreed happily.
Mo Xiaoyanâs pretty face finally eased a little.
Shopping went on until half past ten, and they bought a load of stuff, with Ye Fan carrying both large and small bags.
Of course, most of these things were what Mo Xiaoyan wanted to buy, and then she forcibly split half of them with Lu Xiaoman.
After shopping, they went out for a late-night snack together.
During the meal, Mo Xiaoyan finally showed a good mood, affectionately calling him âbrother-in-law.â
The next day, after Mo Xiaoyan finished her work, she drove to Huayang Martial Arts Gym, planning to take advantage of the morning quiet to find an empty practicing room to train.
Once at Huayang Martial Arts Gym, she first went to Lu Xiaomanâs office to chat and have a cup of water.
However, less than a third through her cup, Lu Xiaoman hurried off to the bathroom with a stomachache.
No sooner had Lu Xiaoman left the office than the ringtone of the smartphone on the desk blared loudly.
At first, Mo Xiaoyan didnât pay it any attention, but the phone kept ringing persistently, annoying her to the point of irritation, so she went over, picked up the phone, and answered it.
âHello, who is it, and what do you want with me?â Mo Xiaoyan said into the phone.
Her voice was similar to Lu Xiaomanâs, so over the phone, almost no one could tell them apart.
And because the sisters were close, she sometimes mischievously helped Lu Xiaoman answer calls.
âManman, youâre finally willing to pick up my call, letâs have lunch together at Haitian Hotel on Zhonghua Road at noon,â a young manâs voice came through the phone.
Mo Xiaoyan frowned upon hearing this, her mind racing with various unpleasant associations.
âWho is this guy?
Why is he so affectionately calling my sis âManman,â and so readily asking her out for lunch?
Could it be my sister is betraying her husband and has another boyfriend?â
The thought made her indignant on behalf of Ye Fan.
âWho are you?
Why should she have lunch with you?â she couldnât help but exclaim.
