442: Chapter 438 Conversation Between Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman 442: Chapter 438 Conversation Between Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman In the elegantly decorated private room of the coffee shop, Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman sat facing each other.
After ordering coffee, Li Zhaojun just gazed at Lu Xiaoman with a detached and lofty look, not in a hurry to speak.
Although Lu Xiaoman tried to carry herself confidently and et Li Zhaojun’s gaze, the mont their eyes t, she imdiately felt Li Zhaojun’s phoenix eyes were as dazzling as twin suns, compelling her to lower her head.
She was aware that she was inferior to Li Zhaojun in every aspect, even though she had been acknowledged by the Mo family, she still felt there was a chasm between them, one that forced her to look up and made it impossible for her to et Li Zhaojun’s gaze on equal terms.
However, despite all this, she had to sit here resolutely, facing Li Zhaojun, a woman she could not surpass.
Several minutes passed, and a waitress, dressed in a red waistcoat, brought in their coffee.
Li Zhaojun’s gaze temporary shifted, giving Lu Xiaoman a mont of respite, as if a heavy mountain had been lifted a fraction from above her head.
With her delicate white hand, Li Zhaojun elegantly stirred her coffee and finally broke the silence, “Ye Fan will never divorce , because I won’t agree to it.”
“I, I know,” Lu Xiaoman said.
“Do you know why I don’t agree to divorce him?” Li Zhaojun continued.
Lu Xiaoman said, “I don’t know.”
Li Zhaojun let out a faint smile and went back to stirring her coffee, concentrating on the task.
Lu Xiaoman wanted to take the initiative to ask, but she thought Li Zhaojun would explain, and she did not want to show that she couldn’t keep her composure, which made her feel conflicted.
After a while, Li Zhaojun finally spoke again, her voice detached, “This coffee, no matter how much sugar you add, is still bitter.
You’re quite good in every aspect and are now Miss Mo, you could have a much brighter future.
The life of a mistress, even with all the sweetness added, is still bitter.”
“Even if it’s bitter, many people still drink coffee.
I can drink it too,” Lu Xiaoman retorted.
Li Zhaojun said calmly, “It’s true so people don’t mind the bitterness, but what about after the bitterness?
Right now, Ye Fan and I might be estranged, but I believe that he will fall in love with eventually, and it will be uncontrollable.
Once he is completely in love with , although he will not be able to forget you entirely, you will definitely be put in a less important position.
And you, having invested so much, will end up with an insignificant love.”
“By the ti you want to look back, but youth is no longer there, and beauty has faded, all that’s left will be lifelong regrets and a lifeti of lancholy.”
“I am willing,” Lu Xiaoman said, looking up resolutely.
Li Zhaojun ignored her words and continued in a declarative tone, “On the other hand, if you break up with him, with your conditions, you will have an infinitely splendid and happy future.
Many excellent n would orbit around you, liking you, caring for you, treating you as their one and only, even willing to die for you.”
“But I don’t like them,” Lu Xiaoman said.
Li Zhaojun replied in a muted voice, “You haven’t tried, how would you know?”
“I don’t need to try,” Lu Xiaoman said steadfastly.
Li Zhaojun, unconvinced, went on, “I’m not going to force you to leave Ye Fan, nor will I resort to sches to trap you.
The reason I asked to et you today is for myself, as well as a reminder to you, in recognition of our acquaintance.”
“Besides, let remind you of sothing else: do not expect to et Ye Fan’s family as a lover.
Because your presence would ruin Ye Fan’s bright prospects, and the Ye family will absolutely not tolerate you.”
Ye Fan had told her before, if he was not going into business, then it would be military or politics.
Lu Xiaoman already knew that Ye Fan was not an idle good-for-nothing.
Whether in politics or the military, once Lu Xiaoman appeared as Ye Fan’s mistress, it would give others leverage over him.
Such a situation was sothing the Ye family would never allow.
Lu Xiaoman remained silent.
“Finish this bitter coffee and leave,” Li Zhaojun said.
Following that, the two won silently finished their coffee.
Li Zhaojun was the first to leave the private room, paid the bill, and then left.
Knowing that Ye Fan’s affections leaned towards Lu Xiaoman, she could not be as foolish as other won and push Ye Fan further towards Lu Xiaoman.
The reason she had asked Lu Xiaoman to et was not to force her to leave Ye Fan, but to plant a seed in Lu Xiaoman’s heart.
If Lu Xiaoman was not steadfast enough, that seed would grow roots and sprout, and eventually, Lu Xiaoman herself would choose to leave Ye Fan.
Of course, seeds need ti to germinate, and she had the patience to wait.
She believed that Lu Xiaoman was not so resilient.
Lu Xiaoman did not leave imdiately, she ordered another cup of coffee.
This ti, she didn’t add sugar to her coffee but slowly savored the difficult-to-swallow bitterness.
“Even if it’s bitter, I can taste it little by little,” she said to herself.
About half an hour later, Ye Fan called.
Seeing it was Ye Fan’s call, a happy and blissful expression appeared on Lu Xiaoman’s pretty face, and she imdiately answered the call.
“Xiaoman, did Li Zhaojun look for you?” Ye Fan’s voice ca from the cell phone.
Lu Xiaoman replied with a smile, “Mm, I just t with her.”
“Did she bully you?”
Lu Xiaoman said, “No.
She just chatted with for a bit, and then she left.”
“Where are you?
I’ll co pick you up,” Ye Fan said again.
Lu Xiaoman replied, “Wait for at the martial arts school.
I’m driving back now.”
Seventeen or eighteen minutes later, Ye Fan t Lu Xiaoman.
In the office, seeing Lu Xiaoman looking normal, Ye Fan completely relaxed.
After six in the evening, Ye Fan and Lu Xiaoman had dinner together, also inviting Mo Xiaoyan and Shi Sheng.
During the al, Mo Xiaoyan still deliberately ignored Ye Fan, preferring to talk non-stop with Shi Sheng.
However, Ye Fan didn’t mind.
Around seven o’clock, Ye Fan suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
“You’re Ye Fan, right?” A haughty, condescending young man’s voice ca through the cell phone.
Without a word, Ye Fan just hung up the call.
Whoever you are, you’re the one calling , clearly you want sothing from , not the other way around, and yet you dare to act superior, asking for a smack!
About a minute after hanging up, the call ca in again, and Ye Fan didn’t even connect; he just hung up directly.
The phone rang again, Ye Fan hung up again, and imdiately after, he blocked the number.
At the other end of the strange call, Yang Zecheng found his number had been blocked by Ye Fan and couldn’t help but get so angry his nose was crooked.
“Just a lucky, lowly brat, daring to hang up on again and again, and even has the audacity to block my number!
He’ll regret it for the rest of his life!”
However, although he was furious, he still had to take out his other phone and call Ye Fan.
In the past few days, he had found out about Ye Fan’s existence through the information divulged by Qin ngyao’s mouth, knew that Tantai Wanrong held Ye Fan in high regard, and also knew from Qin ngyao’s words that Ye Fan was strongly opposed to Tantai Wanrong marrying him.
This made him uneasy, so he decided to call out Ye Fan to warn him to mind his own business.
