Chapter 666 - Misunderstanding Cleared
Chapter 666 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" unveils a new twist: Hearing Ye Fan mention Hua Hai city, Shangguan Wuqiuâs smile instantly disappeared, and she fell... See what happens!
Hearing Ye Fan mention Hua Hai city, Shangguan Wuqiuâs smile instantly disappeared, and she fell into her memories without immediately responding to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan thought Shangguan Wuqiu didnât want to talk about Hua Hai city, so he said, âHeh, letâs talk about something else.â
âActually, I went home that day,â Shangguan Wuqiu said as she lifted her pretty face.
âUh?â Ye Fan replied, a bit confused.
Shangguan Wuqiu continued to explain, âI had left home and been on the run for over a decade.
That day was the first time I went back homeâŚâ
Then, Shangguan Wuqiu told Ye Fan all about her experiences.
Only after hearing her story did Ye Fan understand he had misunderstood Shangguan Wuqiu.
At the same time, he couldnât help but admire her.
A woman who could raise her daughter alone, especially under circumstances where she couldnât show her face for work.
But, could it be a bit too stubborn?
Was it necessary to be so headstrong with her own parents?
âWenwen has grown up in Mingde County all these years.
I donât want her to know about her grandmotherâs home just yet,â Shangguan Wuqiu said.
âThatâs why I asked you to pretend not to recognize me that day.
Also, please help me keep it a secret for now; donât tell Wenwen.â
âI see,â Ye Fan said with a sudden realization.
âDonât worry, I wonât tell Wenwen.
This sort of thing should be shared by you.â
âThank you,â Shangguan Wuqiu replied.
Having finished their tofu brain meal, Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu left the shop, returned smoothly to the car, got in, and then headed home.
Since they were heading back and had already spent quite a bit of time, Ye Fan increased the speed of the car and got back to Mingde County in an hour and a half.
When Ye Fan stopped the car downstairs at Shangguan Wuqiuâs place, he said, âWeâve arrived, I wonât accompany you upstairs.â
Shangguan Wuqiu checked the time and looked at Ye Fan, âItâs almost dinner time now; why donât you continue and have dinner at my place?â
Just as Ye Fan was about to decline, Shangguan Wuqiu added, âI initially intended to just treat you to a meal today, but you ended up spending half the day driving and taking me for a ride.
I really feel sorry.
So, I would really appreciate if you could have dinner at my place.â
Seeing Shangguan Wuqiuâs sincere expression and having had a good conversation on the ride, Ye Fan felt bad to refuse and nodded, âAlright.
Sorry for the intrusion.â
âItâs no intrusion, not at all,â Shangguan Wuqiu said enthusiastically, her bright eyes illuminating the whole car.
They got out of the car and walked side by side to the stairwell.
Since the staircase was a bit narrow, while climbing, Shangguan Wuqiu was very close to Ye Fan, and though no physical contact occurred, her subtle fragrance continuously wafted into Ye Fanâs nostrils.
Entering Shangguan Wuqiuâs home, Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu went into Cui Wenwenâs room to see her, but the sleepy cat was still deeply asleep, with no intentions of waking up.
However, Shangguan Wuqiu also did not intend to wake Cui Wenwen.
Walking out of Cui Wenwenâs room, Shangguan Wuqiu said to Ye Fan, âYe Fan, you can watch TV in the living room, and Iâll go cook.
It wonât take long.â
âHeh, let me help you,â Ye Fan said, feeling it wouldnât be right to just sit and wait.
Shangguan Wuqiu wouldnât let Ye Fan help, quickly declining.
After a bit of back and forth, Shangguan Wuqiu still refused to let Ye Fan help.
Ye Fan had no choice but to sit on the living room sofa and watch the news on TV.
In about an hour, Shangguan Wuqiu had the meal ready.
At dinner time, Shangguan Wuqiu intended to wake Cui Wenwen, but Cui Wenwen still felt dizzy and didnât want to eat, only wanting to sleep.
She got up to drink a glass of water, returned to bed, and fell back into a deep sleep, unresponsive to any calls.
Thus, only Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu had dinner together.
During the meal, the two of them didnât sit face to face but next to each other.
They chatted while eating, and Shangguan Wuqiu hesitated for a moment before picking up a piece of chicken and placing it in Ye Fanâs bowl.
âUh?â Ye Fan was slightly surprised and turned his head to look at Shangguan Wuqiu.
With her cheeks slightly red and a shy expression, Shangguan Wuqiu explained, âI saw that piece of chicken looked goodâŚif you donât like it, I, I can take it back.â
She reached out with her chopsticks as she spoke.
Ye Fan moved his rice bowl aside, avoiding Shangguan Wuqiuâs chopsticks, and said with a smile, âThank you.â
In many places, it was customary for the host to pick food for their guests, so Ye Fan was not too averse to it.
âMm.â Shangguan Wuqiu responded in a low voice with her head slightly lowered, then looked up at Ye Fan as he put the piece of chicken into his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Fan didnât mind, she broke into a smile.
After eating, Shangguan Wuqiu cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them, while Ye Fan sat on the living room sofa watching TV news.
Shangguan Wuqiu was quick and efficient, and in less than ten minutes, she had washed the dishes, changed into clean clothes, cut some fruit, and brought it over to the coffee table in front of the sofa where Ye Fan was sitting.
She then sat down beside him.
âYe Fan, eat some fruit.â Shangguan Wuqiu gently picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and brought it to Ye Fanâs lips.
Ye Fan said âThank youâ and reached out to take the toothpick.
However, Shangguan Wuqiu lightly laughed and said, âYou donât need to lift a finger, just open your mouth.â
With that, she brought the apple slice to Ye Fanâs lips.
âHow can I accept this?â Ye Fan said, feeling embarrassed.
Shangguan Wuqiu giggled, watching Ye Fan as she kept the apple slice in front of his mouth.
Ye Fan reluctantly opened his mouth, and at that moment, Shangguan Wuqiu placed the apple slice in his mouth.
Ye Fan quickly chewed the apple slice and hurriedly said, âHehe, I can grab the fruit myself.
Your service is too good to accept.â
âItâs okay.â Shangguan Wuqiu smiled and said, âYouâve saved me twice, and I know you are a capable person.
I donât have much ability and might never be able to repay your kindness, so I can only do some trivial things.
For example, cooking for you.â
âPlease donât refuse, okay?â she said, her beautiful eyes pleadingly meeting Ye Fanâs gaze.
Seeing her pleading gaze, Ye Fan felt a bit soft-hearted, and since it was no big deal, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Wuqiu was overjoyed and threw herself into Ye Fanâs arms, gratefully saying, âThank you.â
With her tender and warm body in his arms, especially feeling her chest gently pressing against him, Ye Fan felt a bit awkward and opened his arms, not daring to move.
âThis, this, donât be so excited,â he hastily said.
Hearing this, Shangguan Wuqiu let go of Ye Fan.
Her cheeks were red as she quietly said, âSorry, I scared you.â
âHehe, no problem.â Ye Fan denied, albeit insincerely.
Shangguan Wuqiu, hearing his words, immediately brightened up, then turned around, picked a grape, peeled it, and fed it to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan didnât know whether to enjoy it or suffer as he ate the grape.
