Chapter 539 - Ye Fan's Future
Chapter 539 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" starts unfolding: Having taken the advantage, Ye Fan let go of Mo Xiaoyan, took a deep breath,... Discover more!
Having taken the advantage, Ye Fan let go of Mo Xiaoyan, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
As he calmed down, Ye Fan felt so guilty and regretful that he wanted to slap himself: What was this?
He had just shared a passionate kiss with Xiaoman, and then within an hour, he was kissing his little auntie, that was just beastly!
Was he even human?
He must resist his little auntieâs temptations in the future!
Thinking this, he no longer wanted to be alone with Mo Xiaoyan in the room.
Ye Fan put on a stern face and said, âYou rest here for a while, Iâm going out for some fresh air.â
Saying this, and without looking at Mo Xiaoyanâs expression, he left the training room directly.
After six oâclock, Ye Fan went out to dinner with Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan.
After dinner, they continued on to the high-end shopping center for some shopping.
While at the mall, Mo Xiaoyan was tactful and didnât cling to Ye Fanâs arm like she did last time at Yonghui Club.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Mo Xiaoyan deliberately quarreled with Ye Fan from time to time, throwing glances to make it seem like their relationship was not that good.
They shopped at the mall until half-past ten at night.
Although Lu Xiaoman maintained her simple and thrifty habits, Mo Xiaoyan was quite a spender, so when they left the shopping center, Ye Fan and the others were laden with large and small bags of purchases, having spent around two to three hundred thousand.
Half of this mountain of items was for Lu Xiaoman, and the other half was kept by Mo Xiaoyan herself.
While Ye Fan accompanied Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan shopping, a heated argument was taking place in the Ye familyâs villa in the capital.
Inside the main bedroom on the second floor, Qiao Feixuan and Ye Guohua had just taken a bath and come out.
Ye Guohua sat habitually at the head of the bed, picking up an internal publication to study in detail, waiting for Qiao Feixuan to finish her skincare routine at the dressing table before going to bed together.
However, this time Qiao Feixuan hurriedly finished applying her skincare products, then sat down in front of Ye Guohua and said, âIâm planning to put our son into politics.
Do you agree?â
âUh-huh,â Ye Guohua, engrossed in the crucial part of his reading, absently responded.
But the next moment, he realized what she had said and looked up to ask, âWhat did you just say?â
Qiao Feixuan retorted, âSince youâve already agreed, why do you care what I said?â
âNo, did you say just now that you want our son to go into politics?â Ye Guohua asked with a frown.
Qiao Feixuan crossed her arms and replied, âCorrect!â
âNonsense!â Ye Guohuaâs face immediately darkened as he scolded, placing the publication aside on the nightstand, clearly angered.
Normally, Qiao Feixuan would have backed down in the face of Ye Guohuaâs demeanor, but this time she met his gaze head-on and said loudly, âIâm not talking nonsense!
Being a soldier is too dangerous!
Moreover, heâs abroad all year round and canât even come home!â
Ye Guohua replied sternly, âSince ancient times, too much maternal love has ruined children!
Our son is doing well in the army and serving the country.
You want him to retire and become a public servant all of a sudden â you think youâre doing him a favor, but youâre actually harming him!â
âYour Ye family sending my son to the military from a young age was for his good?!â Qiao Feixuan shot back, âOther peopleâs sons are enjoying a peaceful and beautiful college life on campus, learning cultural knowledge, dating girls â why should my son have already faced life and death countless times!
And he was hunted down by the worldâs top assassin for so long.
Just a few days ago, if it werenât for Zhao Jun taking a bullet for him, my son would be dead already!â
Ye Guohua, with a hard expression, replied, âAs a soldier, he should always be ready to die for his country!
Whatâs there to complain about!â
âI am complaining!
I canât bear to see my son die!
The hearts of you Ye family people are made of stone, but my Qiao Feixuanâs heart is made of flesh!â Qiao Feixuan shrieked, losing any semblance of a lady, almost resembling a shrew, âI donât care, I wonât let my son serve in the military anymore!â
âItâs impossible!
This is not your place to speak!â Ye Guohua said sternly.
Qiao Feixuan shouted, âMy son is mine, what makes you think I have no right to speak?!
I only have one son, if he truly dies, Iâd have no wish to live!â
âStop making a scene here, donât make me lose respect for you,â Ye Guohua said.
Qiao Feixuan suddenly leaped out of bed, stood in front of Ye Guohua, and said fiercely, âYe Guohua, donât you dare pull rank on me!
After so many years as husband and wife, do you think I donât know you inside and out?
Today I, Qiao Feixuan, lay it on the line: if you donât agree, Iâll file for divorce tomorrow!
After the divorce, the son will come with me, and weâll see how your Ye family can continue forcing him into a dead end!â
âI mean what I say!â
Ye Guohua, with a cold expression, said, âUnreasonable!â
âSo, you wonât agree, huh?
Fine, letâs get divorced now!
Iâve had enough!â Qiao Feixuan shouted resolutely and immediately turned to the wardrobe, started to find her clothes to put on, preparing to leave home.
Ye Guohua watched Qiao Feixuanâs swift motions as she dressed and his bushy eyebrows knotted together.
Just as Qiao Feixuan had said, after so many years as husband and wife, he knew her personality well.
Over the years, Qiao Feixuan had frequently complained about their son being abroad, uncertain whether he was alive or dead.
The recent assassination attempt on Ye Fan, which had nearly cost him his life, was the last straw, igniting years of pent-up resentment.
Though he had the final say at home and Qiao Feixuanâs duty was to obey, Qiao Feixuan herself was a formidable figure in the business world, controlling assets worth over a hundred billion, with a naturally strong and resolute character.
Seeing her determination, it was clear that Qiao Feixuan would not stop until she got her way.
âSighââ Ye Guohua sighed deeply, got out of bed, and walked over.
âSit down, letâs talk this through seriously,â he said to Qiao Feixuan.
Qiao Feixuan ignored Ye Guohua and continued to dress quickly.
Ye Guohua reached out, took hold of Qiao Feixuanâs jade-like hand with a bit of force, and pulled her back to the edge of the bed, pressing her to sit down.
Qiao Feixuanâs face was cold, and she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Ye Guohua sat down, exhaled deeply, and said, âHave you thought about how well Ye Fan is doing in the army?
His future there is very promising.
If you suddenly ask for his discharge, wouldnât all his efforts over the past five or six years be in vain?â
âSo what if itâs in vain?
Even if he becomes a profligate, itâs still better than being dead,â Qiao Feixuan coldly said.
Ye Guohua said, âWe said we would have a serious talk, yet here you are speaking out of anger again.
Ye Fan was indeed in danger during the first couple of years, but now, as the highest-ranking officer in the Dragon Group, how could he easily encounter danger?
Even during wartime, itâs not easy for officers at the rank of major general to come into harmâs way.â
âThen how do you explain the assassination attempt on our son last Thursday?â Qiao Feixuan said, âIâm well aware of how dangerous his service is, donât try to deceive me!â
Ye Guohua said, âLast Thursdayâs incident happened because he wasnât with his unit.â
âShould our son stay in the military all the time and never come home?â Qiao Feixuan retorted.
Then she quickly added, âBesides, I never suggested Ye Fan should really come home and idle away his life.
He is so smart and capable, if he went into politics, he would definitely climb higher than you!â
The couple discussed it through the night and Ye Guohua finally agreed to Qiao Feixuanâs request.
However, whether Ye Fan could actually retire from the military and enter politics still required old Mr.
Yeâs approval.
