It was after nine in the evening when Ye Fan finally left Shangguan Wuqiuâs home.
Although Shangguan Wuqiu had been kind to him, Ye Fan felt pressured and decided that he should visit less often in the future.
After arriving home and taking a shower, he sat on the living room sofa and enjoyed a shoulder massage from Wei Ziling.
Because of work, Ye Fan hadnât stayed at home for a while.
Not only did Wei Ziling give him a shoulder and back massage, but she also stretched his legs with extra enthusiasm.
Despite the fact that Ye Fan hadnât been home lately, she had been content to take care of herself, spend her time playing and watching Korean dramas, which were indeed relaxing and comfortable.
However, as time went on, she found herself wishing that Ye Fan could come home to stay every day.
âMr.
Ye, are you still going to be staying often at the police station?â asked Wei Ziling as she knelt in front of the sofa, her nimble jade hands pounding Ye Fanâs thighs appropriately, while raising her pretty face to ask.
Ye Fan had something to say to Wei Ziling, so he paused his newspaper reading and turned to look at her, inadvertently looking down from his higher position and seeing right down the open neckline of her top.
âAhem,â Ye Fan averted his gaze and coughed twice to alert Wei Ziling.
Unfortunately, Wei Ziling didnât realize and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Ye Fan had no choice but to say, âYouâre showing.â
When Wei Ziling looked down, she couldnât help but gasp softly and immediately pressed her hand against her gaping neckline, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Since it was ten oâclock at night, and she had already taken a bath, she was wearing a loose-fitting house dress and hadnât put on a bra.
âIâm sorry, I didnât do it on purpose,â she said in embarrassment.
âI know you didnât mean to.
Come sit on the sofa; you donât need to massage my legs anymore.
I have something to tell you,â Ye Fan said.
âOkay,â Wei Ziling nodded, stood up, and then sat down beside Ye Fan.
Ye Fan paused for a moment, then said, âZiling, with the New Year approaching, when do you plan to go home?â
âWhenever you go home for the New Year, thatâs when Iâll go home,â Wei Ziling replied.
Ye Fan replied with a wry smile, âI wonât be able to go home for the New Year this year; I must stay on duty.â
âThen, then I wonât go home for New Yearâs either!â Wei Ziling said.
Ye Fan smiled, reached out, and ruffled Wei Zilingâs hair, saying, âSilly girl, itâs your first time away from home for so long, donât you miss it?
Hereâs what weâll do: take the next two or three days to pack, then head to Hua Hai City.â
âSo soon?
Thereâs still more than ten days until the New Year,â Wei Ziling exclaimed, âI was planning to stay until the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month before leaving.â
âThereâs no need.
As the Spring Festival approaches, Iâll also need to stay at my unit to oversee public safety during the holiday.
So, itâs better for you to go home early and spend time with your family and friends,â Ye Fan explained with a smile.
âAlright,â Wei Ziling said, somewhat reluctantly.
Ye Fan continued, âBring me my phone.â
Wei Ziling responded, got up, brought Ye Fan his phone, and then sat down beside him again.
Ye Fan pulled over the phone, unlocked the screen, opened his mobile banking app, and transferred five hundred thousand yuan to Wei Ziling.
âI just transferred your year-end bonus to your account; have a good New Year,â Ye Fan said, putting down his phone.
Wei Ziling, sitting next to Ye Fan, hadnât seen what he precisely did with his phone.
Hearing about the year-end bonus, she instinctively said, âThatâs not necessary, youâve already given me a bonus.â
âHehe, the money is already in there, and youâre not allowed to refuse it,â Ye Fan laughed and added, âBesides, youâve been a great help to me this year, especially with the medicinal soups youâve prepared.
The bonus is well deserved.â
The medicinal soups Wei Ziling made had indeed been a huge help, allowing him to train more efficiently, advance to the latter stage of hidden strength, and prepare for the life-and-death battle during the Spring Festival.
Therefore, giving Wei Ziling a year-end bonus of five hundred thousand yuan was absolutely worth it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zilingâs phone rang with a message alert.
Wei Ziling immediately picked up her phone to check the message, and it was indeed a bank deposit notification.
But when she looked carefully at the amount, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and it took her a moment to come back to her senses.
âMr.
Ye, did you transfer the wrong amount of money?â Wei Ziling lifted her head and asked Ye Fan, âYou added an extra zero.â
Ye Fan laughed, âIs it five million?â
âNo, itâs five hundred thousand,â Wei Ziling said.
Ye Fan laughed heartily, âThen itâs not a mistake.
Donât you dare say you donât want it.â
Wei Ziling felt a rush of gratitude but truly didnât want that much money.
Moreover, what she wanted now wasnât money; her emotions were complex, and tears unintentionally began to fall.
When Ye Fan saw Wei Ziling actually crying, he couldnât help but ask softly, âWhatâs wrong?â
âWuuâŚ
I, IâŚ
WuuâŚâ Overwhelmed by Ye Fanâs caring question, Wei Ziling lost control and began to cry even more, her voice choked and unable to speak.
Ye Fan comforted her again, asking her not to cry.
Wei Ziling couldnât hold back any longer and threw herself into Ye Fanâs arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Ye Fan was a bit baffled.
Receiving a five hundred thousand year-end bonus should be a cause for joy, so why was she bawling her eyes out instead?
However, he still gently hugged Wei Zilingâs delicate body, soothingly comforting her.
About seven or eight minutes later, Wei Ziling finally stopped crying, stepped out of Ye Fanâs embrace, her head hung so low that her chin touched her prominent chest, preventing Ye Fan from seeing her lovely face.
âIâm sorry, Mr.
Ye, I lost my composure just now.â She said softly, then quickly stood up and rushed toward the bathroom.
Ye Fan was caught between laughter and tears.
A few minutes later, Wei Ziling returned with her pretty face restored, sitting on another sofa.
Ye Fan glanced at Wei Ziling and noticed her eyes were still a bit red.
âMr.
Ye, just now, IâŚâ Wei Ziling was somewhat awkward.
Ye Fan waved his hand to stop her, laughing, âHaha, itâs nothing.â
Wei Ziling also didnât want to dwell on it, so she didnât say more.
âYouâre going to stay at home for the next few days, right?â Wei Ziling asked.
Ye Fan nodded, âYeah.
There might be a few days where Iâm relatively free.â
Wei Ziling immediately said with delight, âThatâs great.
What kind of medicinal soup would you like to drink during these days?â
âAnything is fine.
Oh right, that dogâs paw old ginseng soup was good, you can make that one or two times,â Ye Fan laughed.
Then the two of them chatted casually until half past eleven before they each went to wash up and rest.
The next day, Monday, right after Ye Fan had gotten out of his routine meeting, he received a call, and to his surprise, it was from Liao Susu.
âSusu, whatâs up?â Ye Fan asked as he answered the phone.
Liao Susu chuckled over the phone, âYe Fan, congratulations, youâve done it again.â
âDone what?
I just got heavily criticized, nearly got a demerit on my administrative record,â Ye Fan laughed.
Liao Susu hummed playfully, âStop being so modest with me.
Iâm almost at your police stationâs door.
Hurry up and come to meet me; I want to interview you, the great hero!â
âYouâre in Hua Hai County?â Ye Fan asked in slight surprise.
Liao Susu replied, âWhy would I lie to you?
I set off early this morning to come here and interview you.
Do you think that was easy for me?
You have to treat me to a big meal!
Otherwise, hmm, you know the consequences.
I only need to spin the story in a negative light in one sentence, and youâre done for life!â
âAlright, alright, you win.
Iâm on my way to welcome your grand presence!â Ye Fan said, speechless.
