Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Are the Elders Urging Marriage?
Ye Fan, ngyao, and Lu Xiangxiang returned to the villa in the evening.
The trip to Longxing Mountain didn’t lift their spirits; the murder incident added to their gloom.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
This morning, after breakfast, Lu Xiangxiang patted her belly and complained, "I’ve gained two pounds these past few days, and now I have to lose weight again. It’s all your fault for making
eat so much and tempting
with all these delicious foods without keeping my mouth in check."
Lu Xiangxiang, having nothing better to do, looked at Ye Fan and ngyao with bitter resentnt.
She’s one of those inexplicable won who start nitpicking for no reason.
"You indulge yourself and dare to bla others," ngyao retorted teasingly, "You’ve had a few days of the leisurely life with als all prepared for you. I think you’ve gotten lazy, little lazy pig."
"Hehe." Lu Xiangxiang chuckled lightly and joked, "I’m going to work today. Once I have the ti to lose these two pounds, I’ll co by again to freeload on your food. You can always expect
to drop by."
"You can leave now. Do you need soone to take you back?" Ye Fan said coolly.
"Of course I need it. What? Feeling guilty for fattening
up? Having a change of heart and want to personally take
back?" Lu Xiangxiang eyed Ye Fan with interest.
"I have things to discuss with ngyao’s grandfather and don’t have ti to take you," Ye Fan replied calmly. "Du Xueqi is available; you can ask her to take you to work."
"I didn’t expect you to take
anyway. How dare I trouble you?" Lu Xiangxiang pouted playfully, "I’m sure Grandpa Chu called you two about your wedding. You’ve been engaged for quite a while; it’s ti to get married so Grandpa Chu can hold his great-grandchild."
Her tone turned old-fashioned, "Ye Fan and ngyao, you’re not getting any younger. Hurry up and have a baby, so soone can call
Aunt. No, wait, being called Aunt makes
feel old. After my niece or nephew is born, they should call
sister. We’ll each call ourselves accordingly and not be troubled."
"I really want to break your mouth, talking all cheeky and knowing nothing. You’re old enough, not a three-year-old, aren’t you acting a bit childish?" ngyao rolled her eyes helplessly.
"I may be growing old, but my mind isn’t, humph. I’m not old at all; I’ve just grown up while my heart remains childish, always possessing a pure and innocent child’s heart," Lu Xiangxiang boasted proudly.
"It’s getting late; aren’t you going to work?" Ye Fan glanced at Lu Xiangxiang.
"Ah, I’m going to be late! Ye Fan, you insisted on chatting about everything, and now I’m going to be late." Lu Xiangxiang glared at Ye Fan, then hurried off.
As she left, she called back, "My poor ngyao is about to be a mom. Grandpa Chu is going to urge you to marry and have children. Ye Fan, you can do it. Go ahead and get ngyao pregnant quickly!"
Ye Fan and ngyao exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
After preparing, the two left.
Upon reaching the location Chu Erzhu ntioned, Zhang Lu ca to greet them.
"Zhang Lu, what are you doing here?" ngyao asked, puzzled, and Ye Fan was equally confused.
"Sigh!" Zhang Lu sighed reluctantly, unsure how to start, and said bitterly, "I’m here out of necessity myself."
"What kind of necessity? You seem hesitant and troubled. What’s going on? Just say it, why hide it?" ngyao asked.
"You might not know, but Grandpa Chu called you here, and it’s not just his idea. It’s why I’m here too. My dad’s here as well," Zhang Lu said, crying and laughing, giving Ye Fan and ngyao a aningful look.
"Your dad?" ngyao grew more curious, "Your dad being here is fine, but you look like you’ve been beaten down. What’s going on?"
"Sigh!" Zhang Lu sighed again, unsure how to speak, and said bitterly, "My dad and Grandpa Chu are having an argunt. I suggest you wait before going up to avoid trouble."
"Trouble? Argunt?" ngyao asked puzzled.
Ye Fan urged, "Make it clear. Your vague words aren’t expressing anything."
"Sothing happened—my affair got exposed. My dad is here to settle accounts with Ye Fan," Zhang Lu said slowly.
"What affair got exposed?" Ye Fan laughed, "Settle what accounts with ?"
"It’s about you pretending to be my boyfriend last ti. I don’t know where my dad heard about it, but he scolded
thoroughly. There’ll be another scene today," Zhang Lu spoke bitterly.
She was really embarrassed that she thought Ye Fan pretending to be her boyfriend would give her so peace. Unexpectedly, her dad found out quickly about the truth, leaving her feeling deeply bothered. She truly didn’t know how to handle it, given her dad’s temper.
ngyao naturally knew about it since Zhang Lu begged her back then, and ngyao agreed.
"Just that? I thought it was sothing major, making you hesitant. Just talk it out—it shouldn’t be such a big deal, should it? Look at you, as if you’re going to the gallows. Is it necessary?" Ye Fan said lightly.
"Not a big deal? Not necessary?" Zhang Lu looked at Ye Fan and laughed bitterly, "To , it’s the trickiest issue. You talk so casually, but I won’t have peace if this isn’t resolved. My two brothers have kids already, and my parents keep urging . Don’t you think it’s a bother?"
"What do you plan to do?" ngyao glanced at Ye Fan, then focused on Zhang Lu.
"I don’t know what to do; that’s why I’m troubled," Zhang Lu said.
ngyao’s mind lit up, and she suggested playfully, "I have an idea; do you think it’ll work?"
"Let’s hear it." Zhang Lu urged.
"Let Ye Fan resolve this; we stay hidden, wait in the shadows," ngyao suggested.
"That’s a good idea." Zhang Lu joyfully snapped her fingers.
"It’s your grandfather and your dad; you two hide and push
out, isn’t that unfair?" Ye Fan felt slightly uncomfortable. He could imagine how fierce Chu Erzhu and Zhang Jiefang’s argunt would be, and felt uneasy.
"Good, very good, the best way," ngyao and Zhang Lu said in unison.
Zhang Lu added, "You said it’s a small matter. You can solve it smoothly."
"Exactly," ngyao earnestly agreed.
Looking at ngyao and Zhang Lu, united against him, Ye Fan said reluctantly, "It’s just an old man and a half-old man; they can’t eat ."
ngyao and Zhang Lu both showed encouraging expressions.
