635: Chapter 631 Awkward 635: Chapter 631 Awkward After dinner, they finally parted ways.
However, Ye Fan still drove Su Mengchen back to the school gate.
After dropping Su Mengchen off, Ye Fan then drove Cui Wenwen home.
As Wenwen had bought quite a lot and couldn’t carry everything herself, Ye Fan got out of the car to help carry the groceries up to her apartment.
Soon, they reached Wenwen’s apartment door, and she took out her keys to enter.
Ye Fan followed her inside.
“Wenwen, are you back?” Ye Fan heard Shangguan Wuqiu’s voice coming from the living room.
He glanced inside the living room and saw Shangguan Wuqiu approaching, dressed in a nightgown, which made him pause slightly.
Shangguan Wuqiu, clad in her nightgown, revealed an alluring figure complemented by her long hair draped over her shoulders, creating a dangerously tempting sight.
Suddenly seeing Ye Fan, especially when noticing his intense gaze, Shangguan Wuqiu couldn’t help but be startled, her pretty face flushing red.
However, Shangguan Wuqiu wore a relatively conservative nightgown compared to the more revealing outfits some women wore in summer; otherwise, Ye Fan would have left the house immediately.
Regaining her composure, Shangguan Wuqiu greeted Ye Fan with a blush, “Ye Fan.”
“Hello, Shangguan Wuqiu,” Ye Fan nodded slightly, shifting his gaze away.
After setting down the groceries, Shangguan Wuqiu, noticing the amount, couldn’t help but comment to Wenwen, “Why did you buy so much?”
“Hehe, my cousin bought them for me!” Wenwen proudly said.
Shangguan Wuqiu frowned, “How could you let Ye Fan spend so much?”
“Hehe, it didn’t cost much,” Ye Fan said, “Shangguan Wuqiu, Wenwen, I should head back now.”
Originally, he had just intended to help with the groceries, but seeing Shangguan Wuqiu in just a nightgown made him feel it was inappropriate to stay any longer.
Unaware of his thoughts, Wenwen immediately grasped Ye Fan’s arm, “Cousin, don’t rush off.
Rest for a while before you leave.”
“Yes, at least have a cup of tea before going,” Shangguan Wuqiu also urged.
Despite the awkwardness, Ye Fan had saved her life, and she didn’t want him to feel unwelcome and leave immediately.
Consequently, Ye Fan was persuaded to sit down on the sofa.
As Wenwen poured water for Ye Fan, Shangguan Wuqiu turned and entered her room.
Inside her room, Shangguan Wuqiu stood in front of the full-length mirror and gently touched her blushing cheeks.
The thought of another man seeing her in her nightgown was embarrassingly mortifying, kindling a desire to hide away.
However, remembering that Ye Fan was still in the living room, she couldn’t afford to dwell on such thoughts for long and quickly shook off her embarrassment, opening her wardrobe to find something else to wear.
Despite searching, she still felt dissatisfied with her choices.
Usually confined to her home and constrained by her family’s modest finances, she hadn’t invested in fancier dresses but rather simple, usual outfits.
As she searched, the image of Ye Fan’s initial fiery gaze when he saw her in the nightgown surfaced in her mind.
Hesitating for a moment and biting her lip, she decided not to change out of the nightgown after all.
Moments later, Shangguan Wuqiu reentered the living room still dressed in her nightgown.
Cui Wenwen saw her mother return and hurriedly said, “Mom, chat with my cousin for a while, I’m going to use the restroom.”
Having said that, before Shangguan Wuqiu and Ye Fan could react, she hurriedly stood up and rushed to the restroom.
“This child!” Shangguan Wuqiu exclaimed, then walked slowly towards the sofa.
Ye Fan stood up and turned to look at Shangguan Wuqiu, his face inadvertently revealing some surprise.
He had thought that Shangguan Wuqiu had entered the room to change her clothes, but it turned out she had not.
Seeing the surprise on Ye Fan’s face, Shangguan Wuqiu’s pretty face turned red with embarrassment.
However, to avoid awkwardness, she walked slowly to the coffee table and handed over the three thousand yuan she had prepared to Ye Fan.
“Wenwen doesn’t understand, you’ve been a great benefactor to us mother and daughter, how can we still let you spend so much?” Shangguan Wuqiu said, “Please accept this.”
Ye Fan shook his head slightly and said, “No need.
Like I said, it’s just a little money.”
Otherwise, I really won’t feel right,” Shangguan Wuqiu insisted, stuffing the money into Ye Fan’s hand.
Ye Fan couldn’t accept the money and immediately pushed it back, “Really, there’s no need.
Wenwen already recognizes me as her cousin, it’s only right for a brother to buy things for his sister.”
“No, no, please take it,” Shangguan Wuqiu insisted, pushing the money back to him.
The two of them went back and forth for a while, with movements becoming quite large.
When Shangguan Wuqiu pushed the money over again, Ye Fan no longer resisted and just dodged his hand, causing Shangguan Wuqiu, who couldn’t stop in time, to fall forward right into Ye Fan’s arms.
And Ye Fan instinctively opened his arms to embrace Shangguan Wuqiu’s delicate body.
For a moment, Ye Fan held Shangguan Wuqiu’s supple and graceful body close to him.
The warm and soft fragrance filled his arms, and Ye Fan could not help but tighten his embrace slightly, feeling a rush of blood, his right hand unconsciously sliding down to Shangguan Wuqiu’s buttocks.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Wuqiu, having accidentally plunged into Ye Fan’s arms, was overwhelmed by his masculine scent, making her feel weak and her mind go blank.
However, the next moment, she came to her senses and hurriedly struggled to free herself from Ye Fan’s chest.
During Shangguan Wuqiu’s struggle, Ye Fan regained his composure and quickly let go of Shangguan Wuqiu’s soft and slender body.
The two of them separated, both feeling extremely awkward.
Other than the sound of breathing and heartbeats, the air in the living room seemed to have frozen.
“I’m sorry,” Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu said almost simultaneously.
Their eyes met, Shangguan Wuqiu shyly looked away quickly, while Ye Fan did not look away, the next moment he saw Shangguan Wuqiu showing an unexpectedly shy demeanor.
After a while, Shangguan Wuqiu, with her head lowered, murmured, “It’s okay.
“Thank you,” Ye Fan said softly.
Next, there was another period of silence; Shangguan Wuqiu was visibly restless and uneasy, unable to look at Ye Fan or meet his gaze.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Cui Wenwen had come back from the restroom, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Ye Fan and Shangguan Wuqiu both chose to hide the awkwardness that had just occurred.
When Cui Wenwen returned to the living room, Ye Fan did not stay any longer, and despite Cui Wenwen’s attempts to keep him there, he left Shangguan Wuqiu’s home.
After seeing Ye Fan off, Cui Wenwen returned to the living room and seeing Shangguan Wuqiu holding a stack of money asked, “Mom, why are you holding that money?”
“Ah!” Shangguan Wuqiu snapped out of her daze when reminded by Cui Wenwen, only then realizing she had forgotten to give the money to Ye Fan.
