Chapter 103 I understand you, my foot!
After a while.
After Xie Wanning came to her senses, she understood. Since she had chosen to acquiesce and followed him here, stepping into this room, she already knew what she wanted and what she was willing to give up.
Those struggles and hesitations are nothing more than instinctive self-protection when faced with enormous temptations and the challenge of upward mobility.
Now, Ye Fan has easily and gently peeled away this protective shell.
Having figured this out, she felt relieved, even experiencing a sense of relief and a faint anticipation.
She was no longer tense; instead, she took the initiative, albeit somewhat awkwardly, to raise her arms and gently wrap them around Ye Fan's waist.
......
The warm water flowed down, masking some of the sounds that should have been there.
The sound, like the most moving melody, echoed throughout the night in the expensive presidential suite on the top floor of the Hanbi Building.
The lights outside the window gradually thinned out, and the surface of the river shimmered with the faint light of dawn.
.......
The next day.
Ye Fan woke up in a soft, spacious bed, feeling refreshed.
Last night's "labor" did not deplete his energy; on the contrary, it made him feel refreshed.
Xie Wanning was still fast asleep beside him, her breathing even and deep.
It was clearly due to excessive fatigue last night.
Ye Fan turned to the side and picked up his phone; the screen showed it was past ten o'clock.
He smiled slightly, silently marveling: youthful energy is truly a wonderful thing.
Ye Fan casually threw on a bathrobe and walked into the living room.
He picked up the guest room phone and dialed his personal butler's extension.
Hello, Mr. Ye, how may I help you?
On the other end of the phone, Butler Li's gentle and respectful voice immediately came through.
Ye Fan gave a concise instruction:
"Bring me two lunches. As for what kind, just pick whatever you like. There are no dietary restrictions."
Butler Li responded crisply and decisively:
"Okay, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment while I notify the restaurant to prepare. It will be delivered to your room in about 20 minutes."
"Thanks!"
You're welcome, it's my pleasure to serve you.
I just hung up the phone.
Ye Fan suddenly felt a tightness around his waist as a soft, warm body pressed against him from behind.
Xie Wanning's slightly sleepy, yet slightly melancholic voice rang out softly:
"I woke up and you were gone. I thought you were gone..."
Ye Fan turned around, pulled her into his arms, and chuckled softly:
"Why would I? You were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. It's getting late, let's order some food."
"You must be starving!"
Xie Wanning tilted her head back, pouted, and looked quite charming and cute.
"I woke up because I was hungry! I was too tired last night."
After a night of in-depth conversation, she seemed to have shed yesterday's awkwardness and naivety, and her expression and demeanor showed more intimacy and dependence.
Ye Fan ruffled her hair:
"After we finish eating, shall I take you to the mall to shop and buy some things?"
"No need!"
Xie Wanning immediately shook her head, leaning limply against him:
"I have absolutely no energy left, I don't have the spirit to go shopping. I just want to lie down right now..."
"Okay, then you should rest here until you're rested enough before we talk."
Ye Fan readily accepted good advice.
"Um..."
Xie Wanning responded, then suddenly tilted her head back, her bright eyes fixed on Ye Fan with a hint of cautious probing:
"So... what's our relationship now? We're... boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
Looking into her expectant eyes, Ye Fan nodded without hesitation:
"certainly."
He was reborn, and what he pursued was a free and unrestrained life, rather than being bound by any relationship.
The title of "boyfriend and girlfriend" was of no harm to him.
The theory of a certain outlaw from his past life flashed through his mind: if you don't get married, just date, as long as both parties are willing, the law can't do anything to you.
The law doesn't stipulate that you can only have one girlfriend. As long as they're willing, you can date as many as you want.
Ye Fan, of course, would not be tied down by a woman.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xie Wanning did not show much surprise on her face.
Instead, she sighed softly, her tone complex:
"You're so handsome, so rich, so young and energetic, and... you drive so well at night... you're sure to have a lot of women chasing after you."
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow but did not speak immediately.
Xie Wanning continued, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of bitterness and clarity:
"I know I can't have you all to myself... but at least give me a decent title, so I can feel better..."
"This shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
She was very self-aware; all she wanted was for Ye Fan to truly treat her as "his woman" and give her stability and recognition.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's brows relaxed, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Of course, that's no problem."
"Hmph, I knew you weren't that honest!"
Xie Wanning pretended to be angry and punched him lightly.
Ye Fan tightened his grip on his arm and said seriously:
"I can promise you that as long as you're with me, I will never mistreat you. A house, a car, or anything else you want or want to do—as long as I can provide it, I will give it to you."
He paused, then spoke candidly:
"If one day you feel tired and want to leave, just tell me, and I will give you a generous compensation so we can part ways amicably."
He gazed into her eyes, his voice deepening:
"As for love..."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a hint of mockery:
"Of course I can give it to you too, but my heart is like a durian—it has many small parts, so I can share more of my love."
"I believe you can understand!"
"I understand you, my foot!"
Xie Wanning was both ashamed and angry, and in her anger, she bit Ye Fan's arm.
However, when the teeth touched the skin, the force was as light as a kiss.
She loosened her grip, but instead hugged him even tighter, with a hint of coquettish sulking:
"Hmph! I'll never leave you! You'll never get rid of me in this lifetime!"
Just as the two were getting all lovey-dovey.
The doorbell rang crisply.
Xie Wanning wrapped herself in her bathrobe and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Butler Li and two waiters pushing elegant food carts waited quietly.
Upon seeing that Xie Wanning was the one who opened the door.
Butler Li bowed slightly, his smile impeccable, and said:
"Hello, ma'am, this is the lunch that Mr. Ye ordered to be delivered."
"Okay, just bring it in!"
Xie Wanning stepped aside.
"OK."
Butler Li personally took the food cart and pushed it into the living room to set it up.
Ye Fan was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his phone listlessly.
"Mr. Ye, hello. This is the lunch that the restaurant's head chef just prepared for you and this lady. We hope you enjoy it."
Butler Li spoke respectfully, lifting the insulation covers one by one.
"Wensi Tofu Soup".
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
"Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish".
"Secret Recipe Beggar's Chicken".
"Handmade noodles with black truffle sauce."
...
One after another, exquisite Chinese dishes, like works of art, are presented before your eyes.
The portion size is just right for two people to enjoy.
Color, aroma, and flavor instantly filled the entire space.
