Chapter 766: Chapter 762: Who Understands His Heart?
“Would you like so red wine?” Tantai Wanrong asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded.
Tantai Wanrong slightly turned her charming face and said to Qin ngyao, “Yaoyao, help auntie get a chilled bottle of red wine and two glasses.”
“Auntie, I want to drink too,” Qin ngyao cooed.
Tantai Wanrong sternly replied, “No, you have the college entrance exams in just a couple of days.”
“I understand,” Qin ngyao said, lowering her head and pouting as she stood up to get the wine and glasses.
Ye Fan then rembered the annual college entrance exams were approaching. He had never taken the exams and had no real concept of them.
“How has Yaoyao’s recent performance been?” Ye Fan couldn’t help but ask Tantai Wanrong in a caring, soft voice.
Tantai Wanrong showed a relieved smile and softly said, “This crazy girl has finally started to understand things and has been working hard. Her scores in the recent mock tests were good. If she performs well, she might be able to get into a first-tier university.”
Ye Fan nodded.
At this point, Qin ngyao had returned with the wine and glasses, prompting Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong to imdiately stop discussing Qin ngyao’s studies.
Ye Fan took the wine and the corkscrew, deftly opening the bottle.
A few minutes later, Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong clinked glasses and took a sip.
Qin ngyao, sitting nearby, watched them eagerly. She too wanted a drink and had not had one for a long ti, but with the college entrance exams imminent and evening self-study at school today, she had to restrain herself.
“Co, have so dish,” Tantai Wanrong said, placing a piece of lotus root in Ye Fan’s bowl, “think about it, it’s been several months since you last ate here.”
Just as Ye Fan was about to speak, Qin ngyao playfully called out, “Auntie, what about ? I want so too!”
Tantai Wanrong smiled slightly and served Qin ngyao a piece of white mushroom, teasingly saying, “You, always so stingy.”
“Brother Fan is the real miser!” Qin ngyao retorted playfully.
The al lasted for almost half an hour before it finally ended.
After the al, Qin ngyao had to head to school.
Tantai Wanrong saw Qin ngyao off, closed the door behind her, then elegantly walked back and sat down next to Ye Fan.
With Qin ngyao gone, only Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong remained in the living room.
Ye Fan turned to look at Tantai Wanrong, who was sitting beside him, and felt inexplicably a bit nervous.
“Have you finished with your business?” Tantai Wanrong asked sweetly.
Ye Fan knew Tantai Wanrong was referring to his months abroad. He nodded and saidsomberly, “It’s over.”
“It seems you are not very happy?” Tantai Wanrong asked with concern.
Ye Fan gave a self-deprecating smile and said in low spirits, “A bit. So things I once thought were eternal, that were once my beliefs, suddenly vanished. It really does not sit well with .”
He could preach great philosophies to comfort his comrades, but deep down, he couldn’t truly let go himself.
“Although I don’t know what you’ve been through, as people, we need to look forward,” Tantai Wanrong said, gazing into Ye Fan’s eyes. Her soft, boneless hand reached out, gently took Ye Fan’s left hand, and placed it on her right thigh. Her other hand gently patted the back of Ye Fan’s hand to comfort him.
Ye Fan silently nodded.
“Don’t be sad, okay?” Tantai Wanrong said tenderly, letting go of Ye Fan’s hand. Her slender arm reached around Ye Fan’s back, landed on his shoulder, and then gently pulled him into her embrace.
Ye Fan leaned into Tantai Wanrong’s soft embrace and remained silent.
Since he had co out from the military tribunal, who had really noticed the pain in his heart? It was the pain of destroyed beliefs.
He didn’t know to whom he could confide:
In front of the Dragon Group mbers, he had to act like a leader with foresight, understanding the situation, and talking about major principles;
In front of his mother, he had to comfort her that he was okay and safe;
In front of Li Zhaojun, he was concerned about her becoming completely cold and ruthless;
And Lu Xiaoman, with her gentle personality, was unable to share the burden of his inner pain.
As for Shen Yan, Mo Xiaoyan, and Lin Yuehua, they had not felt his inner weakness at all.
He didn’t bla anyone, outwardly calm but inwardly suffering in silence.
Tantai Wanrong had never seen Ye Fan like this, her heart ached even more, she hugged Ye Fan tighter, letting him bury himself in her warm embrace, comforting him silently.
After about fifteen minutes, Ye Fan felt much better, left Tantai Wanrong’s embrace, and sat up straight.
“Sorry, I just lost my composure,” Ye Fan said sowhat embarrassedly.
Tantai Wanrong gently took one of Ye Fan’s hands, the other hand softly caressing the back of his hand, and she shook her beautiful head lightly facing him.
Ye Fan showed a smile and said, “Aunt Wanrong, you are so kind.”
“Mhm,” Tantai Wanrong responded with a smile.
After about five or six minutes, although Ye Fan was reluctant, he still discreetly withdrew his hand.
Both Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong adjusted their emotions and then started chatting casually.
They talked for about fifteen minutes, when Tantai Wanrong asked, “Ye Fan, in the past six months, Zhao Jun’s personality has changed quite a bit, she hasn’t interacted much with people. Did sothing happen?”
“Indeed, so things happened,” Ye Fan nodded, “She doesn’t even recognize much anymore.”
“Did you have a fight or a cold war?” Tantai Wanrong inquired further.
Ye Fan shook his head, “No. She practiced a Qigong that was sowhat evil, which affected her mood.”
“Ah? Then you should make her stop practicing Qigong imdiately,” Tantai Wanrong exclaid surprisingly, “I’ve heard that so Qigong can corrupt a person.”
“She can’t stop; she’s beco sowhat obsessed,” Ye Fan said, “But, I’ve found a solution. She will recover in a while.”
Tantai Wanrong slightly relaxed but still expressed so concern, “I hope she recovers soon.”
After sitting and chatting for more than an hour, Tantai Wanrong felt a bit tired in her buttocks and stood up.
Seeing Tantai Wanrong stand up, Ye Fan naturally couldn’t keep sitting either.
“Let show you sothing.” Walking away from the sofa and coffee table, Tantai Wanrong turned and smiled at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan instinctively asked, “What is it?”
Tantai Wanrong was already walking toward her bedroom.
Curious, Ye Fan followed her in.
Entering Tantai Wanrong’s bedroom, Ye Fan imdiately slled a faint fragrance, his gaze involuntarily swept across the whole room, and his heartbeat inexplicably sped up.
His gaze returned to Tantai Wanrong, and his breathing beca instantly labored.
Tantai Wanrong was bending over a low cabinet searching for sothing, her buttocks perked up, pulling the fabric of her skirt tight, forming a provocatively perfect heart shape. And the tight fabric marked two creases that clearly displayed how elastic and soft the wrapped objects were inside.
