Chapter 78 - The Two Women Turn Out to Be Good Friends

Zhao Tianya laughed so hard that she doubled over for a while before finally managing to stop.

Straightening her slender waist, she drew back her hand.

“You’re quite humorous, too,” she said with a smile that blossomed like flowers, her sweet tone almost spraying onto Ye Fan’s face.

Ye Fan didn’t find it funny at all.

He thought acting cute was shameful, so he said, “Sorry, I’ve been out too long, I need to go back to work.”

After saying that, he bypassed Zhao Tianya, intending to return to the office.

Zhao Tianya immediately called out, “Wait a minute, you haven’t asked for my cell phone number yet!”

As she uttered those words, she couldn’t help feeling secretly ashamed: Men had always pleaded on their knees for her number, but today she had practically forced her number onto Ye Fan, which was very unbecoming of a lady.

“No, I’m giving him my number for easy revenge!” she reminded herself immediately in her mind.

Embarrassed, Ye Fan had no choice but to turn back around, squeezing out a smile and saying, “Sister Zhao, could you please repeat your number for me?”

Zhao Tianya responded, “I won’t tell you.

Didn’t you say you can’t remember it?”

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite business card from her LV bag and handed it to Ye Fan, “Here, this is your sister’s business card.

Take good care of it.”

Ye Fan took the business card and, out of politeness, looked down at it earnestly for a moment.

He realized that it was very different from Tantai Wanrong’s extremely simple card; this card, which emitted waves of alluring feminine fragrance, was filled with titles.

Among them, the most eye-catching were the titles of Vice Chairman and Deputy General Manager of Baiyi Group, City People’s Congress Representative, and Deputy Secretary-General of the Angel Love Foundation.

He had thought Zhao Tianya was Tantai Wanrong’s close friend and would also be a civil servant, but to his surprise, she turned out to be a businesswoman.

He couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Giggle, are you surprised, little brother?” Zhao Tianya laughed with smug delight.

Ye Fan looked up and smiled, “Indeed, I am a bit surprised.

I didn’t expect to make the acquaintance of such an eminent person as yourself.”

“Good to know, giggle,” Zhao Tianya laughed, deliberately throwing a flirtatious glance at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shuddered involuntarily, forcing a smile and saying, “Then I won’t disturb you any longer.

You must be busy.

Goodbye.”

After speaking, Ye Fan turned and walked away.

Watching Ye Fan’s tall and slender figure departing, Zhao Tianya originally wanted to ask for Ye Fan’s cell phone number as well, but she held back, “Hmph, with the infinite charm of this great beauty, that kid will definitely be frantically calling to bother me in less than half a day.

Why should I worry about him escaping from my Five-finger Mountain?”

“Ah, what did I come to the sixth floor for again?

How did I forget?” she muttered to herself, “Never mind, I should focus on important matters.”

With that, she pressed the elevator button again, entered it, and went up to the penultimate floor, eventually arriving at the president’s office door where she extended her delicate white hand to knock.

“Come in,” a voice from Li Zhaojun came from inside.

Zhao Tianya opened the door to see only Li Zhaojun present in the office, who stood up with a rare smile that instantly made the entire office seem several times brighter.

She walked around the desk, took Zhao Tianya’s hand with a smile, “Sister Tian Ya, you’ve gone to the trouble of coming here.

It should’ve been me going to see you.”

“Go on, why are you being so polite with me?” Zhao Tianya feigned impatience.

The two stunningly beautiful women held hands and sat down on the sofa by the coffee table.

Zhao Tianya took out a check from her LV bag and handed it to Li Zhaojun, “Here’s fifty million.

If it’s not enough, you can ask me for more.

I should be able to scrape together another hundred million in cash on my side.”

“Thank you, Sister Tian Ya,” Li Zhaojun took the check, placing it directly on the coffee table without much care.

Zhao Tianya chuckled, “What’s there to thank me for?

You’re having a bit of a tough time, how could I, as your sister, stand idly by?”

“Hehe, guess what, I just ran into a cute guy on my way up,” she chuckled unboundedly, “it was so amusing.”

Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “You didn’t harass him, did you?”

“Hehe, I did tease him a little,” Zhao Yatian laughed proudly, “I gave him my business card.”

“No way?” Li Zhaojun suddenly felt sorry for that unknown handsome guy, “You’re going to ruin him.”

“Exactly!

I am going to play him to death.

How dare he think about making a move on my precious daughter?

I won’t get over this unless I teach him a lesson,” Zhao Tianya declared as if it were the most natural thing to do.

Li Zhaojun didn’t need to hear the whole story to guess that the “cute guy” merely made a casual joke.

She exclaimed, “The heart of a woman is the most poisonous!”

“Come on, don’t slander your best friend like that!

As if you’re not a woman yourself,” Zhao Tianya retorted with feigned annoyance, throwing a playful punch at Li Zhaojun.

Li Zhaojun laughed and dodged backward, and Zhao Tianya immediately cried out, “You dare to dodge?

Let’s see how I deal with you,” and chased after her.

The two women began frolicking and tussling on the couch.

Such a fragrant | sultry scene would surely make any man’s blood surge to the point of exploding if he saw it.

But Ye Fan, having returned to his office, opened his drawer and tossed Zhao Tianya’s business card into the corner.

Zhao Tianya is a close friend of Tantai Wanrong and a married woman with a child.

Although she was very tempting, he was determined not to get involved with her.

As it neared the end of the workday, his phone suddenly rang.

Taking it out, it was actually a call from Qin Mengyao.

“What does this girl want, calling me at this time?” Ye Fan muttered to himself, but still stepped out of the office to answer the call.

Having cleared up the misunderstanding with Tantai Wanrong, Ye Fan knew it was impossible to avoid Qin Mengyao completely.

Tantai Wanrong had even taken the time, in spite of being swamped with work after just leaving the hospital, to arrange dates for him, seemingly determined to find him a wife.

He was moved by this care, so he found himself more patient with Qin Mengyao involuntarily.

Walking into the corridor, he answered the call and asked, “What’s up?”

“Hehe, Ye Fan, are you free after work?” he heard Qin Mengyao’s crisp and pleasant laughter from the phone.

“Not free!” Ye Fan blurted out, but then quickly added, “What’s it about?”

“I want you to take me out to dinner,” Qin Mengyao said.

Ye Fan frowned, “Why should I take you to dinner?”

“Because I really don’t feel like eating alone.

My aunt is too busy; she doesn’t have the time to eat with me,” Qin Mengyao pleaded, “Ye Fan, can you please?”

Qin Mengyao unable to eat because she was alone?

Ye Fan found that hard to believe.

With her personality, she’d probably still have an appetite even if the sky fell.

So, Ye Fan declined, “Don’t you have your good friend Yiyi?

Just have dinner with her.

And, don’t you have a bunch of bad influences?

Go find them.”

“What bad influences?

They’re my close sisters, okay!” Qin Mengyao argued with increased volume.

Not wanting to bicker further, Ye Fan said, “Alright, alright, they’re your good sisters.

Then go have fun with your good sisters.”

“Ye Fan, listen to me.

Actually, I promised my aunt that I would reduce my contact with them,” Qin Mengyao said with a touch of pathos, “So, I won’t go to dinner with them.

Ye Fan, please, can you just take me out for a meal?

Didn’t you just get two hundred and fifty thousand?

You can afford a meal, right?

Besides, what did my aunt say?

She said you should take good care of me.

You’re not only neglecting me now but…”

“Okay, okay,” Ye Fan said, feeling overwhelmed, “I’ll take you out to eat, alright.”

“Hehe, that’s great, thank you, Ye Brother!” Qin Mengyao squealed with joy.
