686: Chapter 682: Countermeasures 686: Chapter 682: Countermeasures “I only want to be with you, I don’t want my marriage arranged by others!” Lu Xiaoman said firmly.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but tighten his hold on the soft hands of Lu Xiaoman as he said affectionately, “I understand your heart.
It’s also my fault that I can’t marry you openly and honestly…”
At this point, Lu Xiaoman had already covered Ye Fan’s mouth with her hand, not letting him continue, while she said, “Ye Fan, don’t blame yourself.
I’m doing this willingly.
Plus, I think this is happiness too.”
Ye Fan nodded his head.
The two indulged in tender affection for a while before Ye Fan said, “Generally, the children of the major clans have rights and duties that match.
The Mo family is a big clan, and it’s not wrong for your grandfather to think about arranging your marriage.
However, you did not grow up in the Mo family and didn’t enjoy their favorable conditions.
Considering that your grandparents might arrange your marriage, my idea is that you should only recognize your ancestry in the Mo family but not accept any benefits from them.
That way, your grandparents will have no reason to arrange your marriage.”
“Do you agree?” Ye Fan asked.
Lu Xiaoman nodded and said, “Of course.
I didn’t seek out my biological parents for wealth or status.
Whatever happens to the Mo family doesn’t really concern me; I care more about my mom and dad living better.”
The mom and dad she referred to were her adoptive parents.
You’ve sacrificed so much for me,” Ye Fan said with emotion.
“Because I love you…” Lu Xiaoman said softly, her voice trailing off as her cheeks flushed red with shyness, and she buried her face in Ye Fan’s broad and firm chest.
Ye Fan also reached out to gently embrace Lu Xiaoman’s delicate form.
After a quiet moment, Ye Fan continued, “In a while, I’ll go to the bank and transfer thirty million to you.
Before you go back to Chongqing, you can return the thirty million to your biological parents.”
I didn’t spend much of the thirty million,” Lu Xiaoman said immediately, “After excluding the investment in the dojo, I only spent two or three million…”
“No!” Ye Fan interrupted Lu Xiaoman in no uncertain terms, “The thirty million is necessary.
I even think it’s not enough.
However, I know you don’t like unearned gains, so I’ll just give you thirty million for now.”
“Alright then,” Lu Xiaoman responded, “I’ll borrow it from you first.
Once I’ve earned enough money, I’ll pay you back.”
Even now, she still didn’t want to depend on Ye Fan; she needed to have the ability to live independently.
Ye Fan knew Lu Xiaoman’s mindset and respected it greatly.
It was one of the reasons he was attracted to her.
So, with a smile, he said, “Okay.
Let’s settle the account clearly this time.
Don’t feel too much pressure.”
“Hehe, of course I won’t feel too much pressure!” Lu Xiaoman confidently laughed within Ye Fan’s embrace, “I didn’t spend much of the thirty million.
As long as I work hard and manage the dojo well, I can pay it off in two or three years.”
In the end, she joked, “If I really can’t pay it back, I’ll just give myself to you to settle the debt.”
“Ha ha, okay!” Ye Fan laughed immediately.
Lu Xiaoman teasingly rebuked, “In your dreams!”
Ye Fan laughed heartily, then leaned down to kiss Lu Xiaoman’s tender and sweet lips.
After spending over two hours in affectionate intimacy with Lu Xiaoman, Ye Fan finally left the dojo in his car, found a branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and transferred thirty million to Lu Xiaoman.
After completing this, he drove to Yan Yusong’s house to meet with Shen Yan, to talk about music and such.
Around eight o’clock in the evening, Ye Fan returned to Mingde County.
He didn’t go back to Sunshine Community but directly to his apartment at the police station.
In the following days, with Wei Ziling having gone home for the New Year holidays, he was left alone, so he simply stayed in his apartment at the station for convenience.
As for Lu Xiaoman, after Ye Fan had left, her mood was unavoidably complex.
Returning the thirty million to her biological parents was not something easy to bring up; it almost felt like drawing a clear boundary with them.
After some thought, she picked up her phone and called Mo Xiaoyan, “Xiaoyan, are you going to the dojo for practice today?”
“Not today, I’m not in the mood for training,” Mo Xiaoyan replied listlessly over the phone.
Lu Xiaoman couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing,” Mo Xiaoyan said before forcing a giggle, “Hee hee.”
Lu Xiaoman pondered for a moment, then said, “Let’s have dinner together tonight.
I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“Sure,” Mo Xiaoyan agreed, “Then it’s settled, I’ll have the family chef prepare a few more dishes.”
“Mhm,” Lu Xiaoman replied.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoman pushed aside her mixed feelings and continued with her work, finishing up the last bits and planning to head to Chongqing the next day.
In the late afternoon, having finished her work, Lu Xiaoman drove away from the Huayang Dojo and headed for the villa where Mo Xiaoyan lived.
After the two sisters enjoyed a lavish dinner together, they moved to the upstairs living room to sit down and chat.
“Where’s your husband?” Mo Xiaoyan asked, as if suddenly realizing.
Lu Xiaoman said, “He went back to Mingde County this afternoon.”
“He, he’s not accompanying you to Chongqing?” Mo Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise, almost jumping up, “Does he have no conscience?”
While saying this, she immediately picked up her phone, preparing to dial and cursing, “I’m going to call and give him a piece of my mind!
Lu Xiaoman quickly grabbed Mo Xiaoyan, persuading her, “Sis, don’t call.
It was me who didn’t want him to accompany me to Chongqing.”
“I must call and give him a piece of my mind!
Sister, you always defend him!
You’re always considering his feelings, but when has he ever considered yours?
Such an important matter, and he, he actually…” Mo Xiaoyan said, agitated.
Lu Xiaoman shook her head forcefully, “Sister, you’re really misunderstanding him.
It’s not like what you think.
Calm down, I’ll explain it slowly.”
Mo Xiaoyan managed to calm down a bit, sitting with an air of indignation.
“Sigh, I never expected grandfather and the rest would think about arranging my marriage,” Lu Xiaoman said with a sigh, “But Ye Fan already has a plan.”
He could just accompany you to Chongqing and make clear his relationship with you to grandfather.
Showing his identity as the young master of the Ye family, grandfather would surely be overjoyed,” Mo Xiaoyan said.
Lu Xiaoman shook her head, “It’s not as simple as you think.”
Then, she explained Ye Fan’s strategy.
After hearing it, Mo Xiaoyan, not understanding, exclaimed, “Why?
This would almost make you give up your identity as a Mo family daughter.
Sister, why would you do that?”
Lu Xiaoman lightly addressed the matter, “I never cared about the identity of the Mo family daughter.
I grew up in an ordinary family and know nothing about wealthy clans and noble families.
I think I live well; a simple life, working hard, and then I can be happy for the rest of my days.”
“Sister, you still haven’t said why?
I won’t be easily fooled!” Mo Xiaoyan said.
