Chapter 859: Chapter 855 Promise (Part 2)
Half a month later, in an old residential area, Ye Fan was chased away by Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother, who was wielding a broom.
“Get out! Get out! Get out of here! Stop bothering my Manman!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother kept cursing, “My Manman has nothing to do with you anymore! Everything has been returned to you, what more are you dissatisfied with?!”
Ye Fan stood in a corridor with many graffiti on its dilapidated walls, letting Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother hit him with the broom.
Exhausted, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother finally stopped to catch her breath.
Ye Fan finally had a chance to speak, pleadingly, “Auntie, please let me see Manman one more time. I promise, if she isn’t willing this time, I will never disturb her again.”
Old Lu, who had come out from inside, saw Ye Fan’s earnest demeanor and softened, “Dear, just let him see Manman one more time.”
“Hmph!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother snorted heavily but did not object.
Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Auntie.”
Saying this, he quickly entered the house, afraid that Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother would suddenly change her mind.
Upon entering, he immediately felt the darkness and dampness inside. Thinking about Lu Xiaoman living in such a place, Ye Fan felt uncomfortable inside.
It was on the third day after Lu Xiaoman discovered Ye Fan’s ambiguous relationship with Mo Xiaoyan that she seemed to return to normal.
However, Lu Xiaoman’s subsequent actions left Ye Fan in despair, as she went to Huayang Martial Arts Hall and gave up all her shares there. She also transferred all her bank account money into the Huayang Martial Arts Hall’s account. In addition, the car and house were all transferred under the martial arts hall’s name. Finally, she resigned from her role as the general manager of Huayang Martial Arts Hall.
A week later, Lu Xiaoman’s family moved into this old residential area, settling in a small, dark, and damp apartment.
Entering Lu Xiaoman’s room, Ye Fan saw her typing on a computer, as if writing something.
“Xiaoman.” Ye Fan called out, but Lu Xiaoman didn’t turn her head and continued typing.
Ye Fan walked over and glanced at the computer screen from behind her, finding that Lu Xiaoman was writing a job application letter.
Since moving here, Lu Xiaoman had started job hunting and hadn’t found a suitable job in a week’s time.
Seeing her focused on writing the application letter, Ye Fan decided not to disturb her and quietly sat beside her waiting.
These days, he had undergone a deep self-examination, understanding what truly mattered to him.
After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Xiaoman finished the application letter, finally standing up and leaving the computer, preparing to walk out of the room.
Ye Fan hurriedly stood up, stopping her, “Xiaoman, can you listen to a few words from me?”
Lu Xiaoman stopped, coldly glanced at Ye Fan, who forced a smile.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiaoman still maintained a cold expression, but she turned back and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Ye Fan pulled a chair over, sat in front of Lu Xiaoman, and after gazing at her deeply for a while, he said, “Xiaoman, I know what I did broke your heart. I have no face to beg for your forgiveness now.”
“During this time, I have seriously thought about our relationship,” Ye Fan continued, “Last night, I finally made a decision.”
“Xiaoman, I won’t let you leave my side. But rest assured, I will never let you be wronged. Today, I, Ye Fan, solemnly promise you that I will give you a satisfactory explanation.”
“However, this explanation will need some time, because before I can give it to you, there is something I must do. But I won’t let you wait too long!”
As he said this, he reached out to hold Lu Xiaoman’s tender hand.
Lu Xiaoman immediately tried to struggle and pull her hand back, but he gently but firmly held onto it, letting her feel strength and determination.
After struggling for a while, Lu Xiaoman stopped, began to look at Ye Fan, looking into his eyes.
Ye Fan nodded at her with determined eyes.
Feeling Ye Fan’s determined gaze, Lu Xiaoman’s delicate body softened, and she shook her head, finally saying, “No need, you and I are from different worlds, destined to have no result…”
“No! I must give you an explanation, and also give myself one!” Ye Fan interrupted Lu Xiaoman, “Believe me, wait for me, okay?”
“I, I…” Lu Xiaoman became a little flustered; she naturally understood what Ye Fan meant.
At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly embraced Lu Xiaoman’s delicate body, tightly holding her, burying his nose and mouth in her hair, deeply inhaling her fragrance.
So tightly embraced by Ye Fan, Lu Xiaoman’s fair arms hesitated for a long time before finally slowly embracing Ye Fan’s strong body lightly.
A moment later, Ye Fan released Lu Xiaoman, stepped back two steps, and said with a determined gaze, “Wait for me, okay?”
“…Okay.” Lu Xiaoman hesitated, nodding her head slightly.
As she opened her mouth to persuade Ye Fan, he had already resolutely turned around and left with big strides.
Driving away from Lu Xiaoman’s home, Ye Fan, instead of going elsewhere, drove directly back to Mingde County.
In the following days, apart from work, Ye Fan devoted himself to diligent training.
Although both the Rising Dragon Stance and the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound have training time limits, Ye Fan trained desperately hoping to reach the transformative force soon. He consumed numerous century-old ginseng, century-old Fuling, century-old Ganoderma, and other herbs, constantly enhancing his Qi-Blood and Inner Strength.
Several times, he overtrained and injured his body, but fortunately, his master, Zhuo Junwu, intervened in time to rescue him.
Due to this, Zhuo Junwu stayed long-term in Mingde County to prevent Ye Fan from overtraining and risking his health.
Of course, Ye Fan’s mood wasn’t oppressive but rather more open-minded than before. With determination comes a goal and direction, clear thoughts naturally result in a pleasant mood.
“China’s Good Voice” finally aired, unsurprisingly, with Prisoner No. 2 participating in it, bringing a lot of popularity and discussion to the show.
Especially during the blind audition stage, Prisoner No. 2’s initial failure was edited into the middle of the auditions, sparking significant backlash and protests from the audience. “China’s Good Voice” had to announce that Prisoner No. 2 would have another chance in a revival round, calming the audience slightly.
As the later competition recordings were broadcast, Prisoner No. 2’s popularity soared, reaching its peak.
During the final, Prisoner No. 2, unsurprisingly, won the championship of “China’s Good Voice.”
However, Ye Fan cared nothing about the immense popularity others could only dream of.
His mask remained on; after participating in the final and winning the championship, he left directly, returning to Mingde County to continue his relentless training.
On October 13th, on this day, Ye Fan finally broke through and successfully entered the transformative force stage.
“Finally, I can train the ‘Nine Yang Divine Skill’! Zhao Jun, I will soon restore your character.”
“Xiaoman, I can soon fulfill my promise to you, sorry to keep you waiting.”
