61: Chapter 57 Unchanged Willfulness 61: Chapter 57 Unchanged Willfulness “This, this voice sounds so familiar?”
Ye Fan stared in surprise at the girl in the princess dress’s delicate face and realized it looked somewhat like Tantai Wanrong.
“You, you’re Qin Mengyao!” Ye Fan pointed at the girl in the princess dress and exclaimed.
The girl in the princess dress lifted her pretty face, looking pleased, and giggled, “Yes, I am Yaoyao.
Didn’t recognize me, did you?
When he realized that the girl in the princess dress was that annoying little bald girl, Ye Fan’s face turned red, and he felt an urge to crawl into a hole.
What a blunder, I, I was actually fawning over her like a lovestruck fool!
He felt he couldn’t face staying there any longer.
Then Qin Mengyao playfully blinked her bright eyes and smiled, “Hee hee, quite a change, huh?”
“What’s the deal with your hair?” Ye Fan asked, somewhat foolishly.
Qin Mengyao touched her black hair that draped over her shoulders with her delicate white hand and laughed, “It’s a wig, of course.”
“Oh, I see.” Ye Fan returned to normal and nodded slightly, “The change is indeed quite significant.”
Hee hee, I’ve turned over a new leaf,” Qin Mengyao said coquettishly, “Ye Brother, let me introduce someone.”
Saying this, she reached out and encircled the right shoulder of the girl in the school uniform, introducing, “This is my good classmate and best friend, Liu Yiyi.”
“Yiyi, this is Ye Brother, Ye Fan.
That day in the bar, he saved me.
You wouldn’t believe it, there were more than a dozen gangsters trying to drag me away, and Ye Fan slammed the table, stood up, one hand supporting me, and with the other hand, he beat those dozen gangsters till they scattered all over, begging on their knees.”
“Also, two weeks ago, a big villain was trying to run over my aunt with his car, and Ye Brother happened to see it.
Just as my aunt was about to get hit, he flew over like lightning, faster than Superman, and saved my aunt!”
“Isn’t it awesome?” She proudly recounted Ye Fan’s deeds.
Liu Yiyi widened her eyes, looking at Ye Fan with some admiration, “Ye Brother, you’re amazing!”
Her voice was soft and gentle, a serene and tender young girl; it was hard to understand how she ended up befriending and becoming best friends with the rebellious Qin Mengyao.
“Hehe, Yiyi, hello.” Ye Fan said, feeling somewhat embarrassed as Qin Mengyao praised him till even he blushed.
To escape the awkwardness, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers to call a waiter over, meanwhile asking Qin Mengyao and Liu Yiyi, “What would you like to drink?”
“I want a latte,” Qin Mengyao immediately chirped.
Liu Yiyi spoke a beat slower, “Lemonade.”
Soon, a young waitress in a black vest came over.
Ye Fan directly said, “One latte, one lemonade, and one Blue Mountain coffee.”
After the waitress left, the three of them chatted casually.
Liu Yiyi suddenly turned partly around, murmured something into Qin Mengyao’s ear while giving Ye Fan a quick glance.
Seeing that Ye Fan was looking at her, her delicate little face turned bright red.
Though Liu Yiyi spoke very quietly, Ye Fan, with his acute hearing, heard her say she wanted to go to the restroom.
Of course, he pretended not to hear.
Qin Mengyao nodded, “Go ahead, no worries, I’ll talk with Ye Brother for a bit.”
“Mhm.” Liu Yiyi nodded shyly, hesitated to look at Ye Fan, grabbed her white handbag, and went to the restroom.
As soon as Liu Yiyi was out of sight, Qin Mengyao giggled, “Ye Brother, Yiyi is pretty, isn’t she?”
“Mm, quite gentle and cute,” Ye Fan nodded looking at Qin Mengyao.
He held a note of caution in his heart, wary of Qin Mengyao’s rebellious and prank-loving nature, cautious not to let the ship sink in the gutter.
He didn’t quite trust Qin Mengyao’s words.
“Hehe, if you want to chase her, I can help you,” Qin Mengyao said with a smile.
Ye Fan smiled faintly, shaking his head, his gaze conveying a sense of seeing through her tricks.
Seeing this, Qin Mengyao straightened her attitude and said, “Ye brother, I really realize my mistakes now.
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have treated you like that.
Also, thank you for saving my aunt and me.
Really, I’m very grateful to you.”
Ye Fan remained unmoved, saying indifferently, “Are you done?
Once you’re done, stop harassing me.”
As he spoke, he stood up to leave.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t!
Ye brother, don’t go,” Qin Mengyao quickly stood up, “I still have more to say.”
Ye Fan sat back down on the sofa and said, “Hurry up and finish.
I have other matters to attend to, and I don’t have time to waste on you.”
Qin Mengyao sat down and looked at Ye Fan, “Ye brother, how do you find me now?
“Much better than before,” Ye Fan glanced at Qin Mengyao and responded flatly.
Qin Mengyao giggled and said, “So, you find me pleasing to the eye now?”
“Not as annoying,” Ye Fan said.
Qin Mengyao beamed with joy, “Then chase me.
Ye Fan suddenly felt a headache coming on, utterly speechless.
He then heard Qin Mengyao continue, “But, if you chase after me, you can’t go after my aunt anymore.”
“Hmph!” Ye Fan frowned deeply and let out a cold snort.
Qin Mengyao hurriedly added, “If you don’t like my type, you could chase Yiyi.
Yiyi is very gentle, adorable, and innocent.
“Qin Mengyao, you don’t have to sell out your best friend,” Ye Fan said coldly, “I won’t have any more contact with your aunt!
That day, I made it clear for you to tell her, after she helps me with those three matters, we owe nothing to each other, never to intersect paths again!
So, you also don’t need to bother me!”
After finishing his words, he stood up and walked away from the sofa, striding off.
Qin Mengyao immediately chased after him and threw her arms around Ye Fan’s arm, pleading in a soft voice, “Ye brother, please don’t be angry, alright?”
Ye Fan felt an unusual softness from his arm and frowned, not even looking at Qin Mengyao, “Let go!”
“I won’t!” Qin Mengyao revealed her stubborn side, “If you leave, I’ll scream that you’re heartless and have abandoned me after getting me pregnant!”
Ye Fan was so angry he felt like spitting blood, turning around to stare into Qin Mengyao’s eyes, “Have you no shame at all?!”
“None!” Qin Mengyao raised her pretty face defiantly, with a rascal’s grin saying, “Either way, once I shout, your picture is bound to be all over the newspapers and online headlines!”
Hearing Qin Mengyao’s threat, Ye Fan really didn’t dare to leave forcefully, not wanting to bet whether this rebellious schoolgirl sporting almost a buzzcut would actually do it.
If Qin Mengyao were a grown woman, it might have been easier, but she was a high school girl.
If she really did shout, it would definitely hit the news headlines.
“You!” Ye Fan barked in anger.
Seeing Qin Mengyao’s smug face, he could only say helplessly, “Let go then, I won’t leave.”
“Hehe, thank you, Ye brother,” Qin Mengyao cooed, releasing Ye Fan.
Ye Fan walked back to the sofa in frustration and sat down.
At that moment, the coffee was served.
Ye Fan didn’t even add sugar, just picked it up and drank it—the bitterness matching his current mood.
“Hehe,” Qin Mengyao leaned forward slightly, smiling as she whispered something seductively.
Ye Fan instantly sprayed a mouthful of coffee everywhere, covering the table.
