Chapter 603 - There is a Fair Lady in Seclusion
Chapter 603 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" opens introducing characters: Ye Fan walked Wenwen home, and all along the way, Wenwen stayed close to Ye... Find out more!
Ye Fan walked Wenwen home, and all along the way, Wenwen stayed close to Ye Fanâs side, trying to get him to agree to be her cousin in the remaining ten-plus minutes of their journey.
âCousin, what do you do for work?â Wenwen asked.
Ye Fan replied, âI canât tell you right now.â
âCousin, when you were fighting that âBrother Feiâ earlier, it was so cool!â Wenwen continued.
âIf only I were as tough as you, even just one percent.
Cousin, do you know martial arts?
Will you teach me, please?â
Ye Fan spoke calmly, âWhy should a girl learn to fight?
Itâs most important to study seriously.â
âBut if I donât know how to fight, Iâll be bullied, just like today,â Wenwen said.
âOne week from now, what happened earlier wonât happen again,â Ye Fan said.
âCousin, do you have a girlfriend?â Wenwen sought another topic.
âYouâre so strong and so cool, you must have one, right?â
During the entire walk, Wenwen constantly looked for topics to talk about, seeking closeness with Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan always kept his responses flat and unemotional.
Finally, they arrived at the foot of her apartment building.
Wenwenâs familyâs building was neither particularly nice nor particularly bad, just ordinary.
âCousin, wonât you agree to be my cousin?â Standing at the bottom of the building, Wenwen looked up at Ye Fan with her pretty little face and pleaded once more.
Ye Fan shook his head gently and said, âThereâs really no need for that.â
Seeing Ye Fanâs stubborn refusal, Wenwenâs big watery eyes filled with disappointment.
âRemember, youâll go back to school a week from now,â Ye Fan reminded her.
Wenwen hung her head and said, âYes.â
Seeing Wenwen with her head down and looking saddened, Ye Fan felt a compassionate stir in his heart and couldnât help saying, âActually, if youâre in danger, you could call your family, like your dad.
You have a mobile phone, right?â
Wenwen didnât speak.
Ye Fan inadvertently saw her biting her tender lower lip in the dark, her expression forlorn, looking quite pitiable.
âLetâs do this.
Iâll give you my mobile number.
If you encounter any danger in the near future, call me,â Ye Fan said, softening.
Suddenly, he thought of the hooligans and bad students who might show up near Wenwenâs home.
After all, her place wasnât far from No.
3 Middle School, and it was possible that some of the troublemakers knew her address.
Upon hearing this, Wenwen looked up suddenly, her pretty face filled with excitement and joy, and she exclaimed, âThank you, cousin!
Thank you, cousin!â
Just as Ye Fan was about to give a mild smile, he suddenly noticed under the dim light that there were two shining trails of tears on Wenwenâs delicate little face.
The girl had actually been crying.
Ye Fanâs smile froze; how could he smile now?
Ye Fan empathetically thought about it.
What seemed like mere ants to him, easily crushed with the flick of a finger, were demonic beings to Wenwen, a delicate girl of only sixteen or seventeen, who perceived them as insurmountable and unresisting devils that could rip her apart and devour her at any moment.
Wenwen, realizing that something was off with Ye Fanâs expression, immediately turned her back, wiped away the tear streaks quickly, then turned around and asked, âI was just so happy.
Cousin, whatâs your mobile number?â
As she spoke, she took out an ordinary smartphone, opened it, and waited for Ye Fan to tell her his number.
Ye Fan recited, â138XXXXXXXX.â
Wenwen quickly entered Ye Fanâs number and then pressed the call button.
Soon, Ye Fanâs phone rang in his pocket.
Ye Fan took out his phone, and by this time Cui Wenwen had already hung up carefully, meticulously adding Ye Fanâs mobile number to her contacts.
Ye Fan also stored Cui Wenwenâs number in his phone.
âCousin, youâre really kind!â Cui Wenwen exclaimed, âWhen I finish my studies and start working, I will definitely repay you!â
Ye Fan chuckled.
Although he did not expect any reward, hearing Cui Wenwenâs sincere words made him quite pleased.
âThen you should study hard and get into a good university in the future,â Ye Fan encouraged.
Cui Wenwen nodded vigorously: âMhm!â
âAlright, you should head up now.
Iâm going to leave too,â Ye Fan said with a smile.
âGoodbye, cousin!â Cui Wenwen called out somewhat reluctantly, waving her pale, delicate hand.
âGoodbye,â Ye Fan said, turning and leaving.
Cui Wenwen watched Ye Fan go before she turned to go upstairs.
She lived on the fourth floor.
Being a girl light and full of vitality, and now that her safety was finally guaranteed, she climbed up to the fourth floor in just a moment, took out her key, and opened the door to her home.
Upon entering, she turned on the living room light to find that, although not very spacious, the living room was well-organized and elegantly simple.
The floor was spotlessly clean, a few well-maintained pots of flowers and plants added a fresh and fragrant air, refreshing oneâs spirit.
Cui Wenwen closed the door and after changing her shoes, she saw light coming from the study and called out, âMomâIâm back!â
She called out, walking toward the study.
As she arrived at the studyâs entrance, a tall, slim, and graceful figure emerged from within.
âMom, you havenât gone to sleep yet,â Cui Wenwen said to the stunningly beautiful young woman who had come out of the study.
Cui Wenwenâs mother had a very pretty face, bearing a strong resemblance to Cui Wenwen but even more radiant and possessing an elegant and noble demeanor.
Her eyes held a touch of melancholy that made her seem all the more endearing.
Though she was Cui Wenwenâs mother, she looked more like her sister on the outside, appearing to be only in her late twenties.
In fact, her age wasnât that great, not yet thirty-five.
Cui Wenwenâs mother reached out and gently touched Cui Wenwenâs hair, revealing a tender and serene smile as she said softly, âHow could I sleep before you returned?â
âMom, you can relax, I wonât be in any trouble,â Cui Wenwen said sensibly.
Cui Wenwenâs mother withdrew her delicate white hand and suggested, âGo wash your hands and face, and then have some supper.
Otherwise, it will be too late.â
âMhm!â Cui Wenwen nodded and turned toward the bathroom.
After washing up, Cui Wenwen came out to find her mother already seated at the dining table, which was set with a bowl of hot century egg and lean meat porridge, steam rising from it, and a white porcelain soup spoon inside.
Cui Wenwen walked over lightly, and her mother turned to look at her, smiling and saying, âCome and eat before it gets cold.â
Sitting down before the bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, Cui Wenwen said to her mother, âMom, you should eat too.â
âIâm not hungry,â Cui Wenwenâs mother said with a gentle smile, shaking her head softly.
Her every smile and gesture brimming with captivating charm.
Looking at her, Cui Wenwen couldnât help saying, âMom, youâre really beautiful!â
âLittle flatterer!â Cui Wenwenâs mother said, showing a pleased smile, and teased with a light laugh, âEat your porridge.â
Cui Wenwen giggled and began to eat her porridge.
