261: Chapter 257 Tantai Wanrong Grows Suspicious 261: Chapter 257 Tantai Wanrong Grows Suspicious Ye Fan had just returned to the living room when the doorbell rang, presumably heralding the arrival of Zhao Tianya.
“Remember, don’t give away any clues!” Qin Mengyao whispered to Ye Fan before going to open the door.
As expected, it was Zhao Tianya.
As soon as she entered, she called out towards the living room with a coquettish laugh, “Wanrong, I’m here.
Then, without waiting for Tantai Wanrong to respond, she headed towards the living room by herself.
Tantai Wanrong acknowledged from the kitchen but didn’t come out.
Zhao Tianya didn’t mind; her attention was already fixed on Ye Fan, and she chuckled playfully, “Giggle, Little Fan, why don’t you greet your aunt when you see her?”
Ye Fan rose to his feet with a grimace, facing Zhao Tianya, and his eyes inadvertently brightened when he caught sight of her.
She was dressed in an OL suit that seemed proper, but on her curvy figure, it carried an intriguing allure of a professional woman.
Zhao Tianya noticed Ye Fan’s gaze, and her smile became even broader, her eyes sparkling with pride and coquetry.
“Aunt Ya.” Ye Fan averted his gaze and called out in annoyance.
“Giggle, such a good boy,” Zhao Tianya laughed whimsically, making her shoulders shake.
Qin Mengyao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, finding Ye Fan’s address to Zhao Tianya amusing.
Ye Fan felt uncomfortable under the laughter of the two women, annoyed that Zhao Tianya had previously agreed not to take advantage of their generational difference yet was now flirting with him using her seniority for fun.
Zhao Tianya laughed for a while before slowing down, saying, “Hehe, you sound so reluctant.
Aunt won’t let you call her that for nothing.”
“Ta-da… here, this is a watch for you.” She walked up to Ye Fan, holding out a beautifully wrapped box to him.
“Thank you,” Ye Fan forced a smile.
Just as he was about to take it, Qin Mengyao quickly snatched it away, laughing, “Brother Ye, let me help you open it to have a look, you don’t mind, right?”
“Whatever.” Ye Fan said indifferently.
Qin Mengyao chuckled, sitting next to Ye Fan on the sofa, and began to open the box.
Zhao Tianya smiled and sat down on another sofa, watching Ye Fan and Qin Mengyao.
Soon, the box was opened, and Qin Mengyao lifted the brand-new watch, exclaiming with envy, “Wow, it’s a gold Rolex!
It must be worth at least three to four hundred thousand!”
A regular Rolex watch ranges from several tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand, but a gold Rolex is quite expensive, costing several hundred thousand, or even more than a million.
“Aunt Ya, you’re so biased!” Qin Mengyao turned to Zhao Tianya and pouted, “Yaoyao has been calling you aunt for over ten years, and you’ve never bought me such an expensive gift.
Brother Ye has only just started calling you aunt, and you’ve already given him such a valuable gift!”
Zhao Tianya shook her head with a smile, teasing her, “You ungrateful little thing, every year the red envelopes I gave you during the New Year add up to at least a million.
And here you are saying I don’t treat you well.
No red envelope for you next New Year.”
“Hehe,” Qin Mengyao quickly stood up and walked over, hugging Zhao Tianya and acting coquettishly, “Aunt Ya, I was just teasing, don’t take it seriously…”
“Go away, I just climbed the stairs, I’m hot, don’t hug me,” Zhao Tianya said irritably, “Alright, I was just joking too.”
After releasing Zhao Tianya, Qin Mengyao handed the Rolex gold watch to Ye Fan, remarking nonchalantly, “Aunt Ya is really good to you.”
At that moment, Zhao Tianya smiled and asked, “Ye Fan, do you watch?”
“Hehe, of course I like it if it’s from you,” Ye Fan replied with a light smile, “but this watch is too valuable; I can mostly only keep it as a collectible.”
Right now, with the way he was dressed, looking like an ordinary white-collar worker, wearing a Rolex gold watch worth hundreds of thousands was too conspicuous and out of place.
Zhao Tianya laughed, “I knew you’d say that.
So, I bought you another watch.”
With that, she took out a small box from her red LV handbag and handed it to Ye Fan.
They weren’t very close to each other, so Ye Fan had to lean forward in his seat to reach for it.
When he took the small box and had a look, it was also a Rolex watch.
Ye Fan opened the box and took out a watch that looked relatively ordinary.
At this moment, Zhao Tianya smiled and said, “This watch is only fifty thousand, and the design is relatively simple; you shouldn’t attract too much attention wearing it.”
Hearing this, Ye Fan felt a surge of emotion inside.
Zhao Tianya had considered his situation so meticulously—it was no longer just about the money.
He looked up at Zhao Tianya’s charming face with a smile and sincerely said, “Thank you.”
“Giggle, just a thank you, huh?
Don’t be so serious,” Zhao Tianya chuckled, stood up, and sat next to Ye Fan, saying, “Here, let me help you put it on.”
Without waiting for Ye Fan’s agreement, she took the fifty-thousand-yuan Rolex, reached out with her delicate, jade-like hands, and began putting the watch on Ye Fan’s wrist.
Zhao Tianya’s hand was very white and soft, almost boneless, and also smooth as cream.
Having his wrist held and being fitted with the watch by Zhao Tianya’s hand, Ye Fan genuinely felt this was a pleasure.
Zhao Tianya seemed a bit clumsy with her hands and feet, and it took her quite a while to put the watch properly on him.
Does it fit well?” she asked playfully.
Ye Fan lifted his left hand to look and nodded affirmatively, “It looks great, and I really like it.”
“Giggle, that’s more like it.
I spent an entire afternoon picking this out meticulously,” Zhao Tianya proudly said.
At this time, Tantai Wanrong had already come out of the kitchen carrying a dish and called to Qin Mengyao, “Meng Yao, help bring the dishes to the table.”
Qin Mengyao responded and got up to help.
Ye Fan also stood up to help bring the dishes from the kitchen to the dining room.
After Tantai Wanrong brought a dish to the dining room, she didn’t continue to serve dishes; instead, she went back to her room to change her clothes and then wash her face and tidy up.
When Tantai Wanrong returned to the dining room, the food was already served, and the rice was ready, just waiting for her.
“Hehe, sorry to keep everyone waiting,” Tantai Wanrong said elegantly with a smile, “Let’s sit down and eat.”
After the four of them sat down, Qin Mengyao couldn’t help addressing Tantai Wanrong first, “Auntie Wanrong, Auntie Tianya is so biased; she gave Brother Ye Fan two Rolex watches.
One of them is even a gold watch.”
On hearing this, Tantai Wanrong was surprised and turned to look at Zhao Tianya, puzzledly asking, “Why did you give Ye Fan two watches?
Is he supposed to wear one on each wrist?”
“Hehe, I was worried that the gold watch was too fancy for everyday wear, so I bought him another more ordinary one to wear,” Zhao Tianya said indifferently.
Tantai Wanrong felt skeptical at heart; she glanced at Zhao Tianya then at Ye Fan, and finally her eyes returned to Zhao Tianya with a meaningful tone, “Tianya, you really thought this through.”
Zhao Tianya’s heart skipped a beat, realizing she might have overdone it with her affection for Ye Fan, causing Tantai Wanrong to become suspicious.
