“Move aside! Move aside!” Nameless Nie chased them away. “Famous Ye, don’t listen to their nonsense! It’s just a child – how difficult could it be?!”
Ye Wanwan thought about the little boy’s porcelain little face from the video call. “How long do I have to pretend for?”
Once Nameless Nie heard Ye Wanwan was agreeing to it, he was beyond emotional. He was in tears as he said, “This is just a stalling tactic to gain more time to find his parents; you can stop once I find them!”
“What if you can’t find them?” I can’t pretend forever, right…
“How could that be? Famous Ye, don’t you believe in my abilities? If I really can’t find them, I’ll just tell him I mistook you for my sister and you’ll be able to leave, right!” Nameless Nie hurriedly said.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Why does that sound… so unreliable?
“And there’s something else…” Nameless Nie said.
“What?” Ye Wanwan had a bad feeling about this.
Nameless Nie: “We’re missing a father here!”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Nameless Nie: “Famous Ye, help a person all the way…”
Ye Wanwan: “I can pretend to be your nephew’s mother, but as for the father, you have to wait for my news! I already told you before that I have to go back and discuss things with my boyfriend first.”
Nameless Nie nodded continuously. “Sure sure sure, no problem. I’ll wait for your good news!”
After their discussion, Ye Wanwan and Nameless Nie parted ways.
The moment she started walking, her phone rang.
Seeing that Ye Mu Fan’s name was on the caller ID, Ye Wanwan’s expression turned gentle as she answered the call. “Hello, ge?”
Behind her, Nameless Nie stopped in his tracks when he heard “ge.”
Ay, when will I be able to hear my own sister calling me “ge ge”…
“Wanwan, are you done having fun? Lately, there’s been lots of movement over at Chu Hong Guang’s side and Gong Xu took advantage of the fact that you’re away to fool around – do you even care anymore? Also, did you forget we have to go over to grandpa and grandma’s this month? I’ve already picked out a gift for them. When exactly are you coming back?” The second Ye Wanwan answered the call, Ye Mu Fan’s whines came through the receiver instantly.
Ye Wanwan listened helplessly as Ye Mu Fan rambled on. “Stop chasing me. I’m already at the airport, OK?”
“Tsk, did you have fun?” Ye Mu Fan snorted.
Ye Wanwan raised her brows. “Not too bad. I had a pretty good time.”
Ye Mu Fan’s voice immediately turned a notch louder, “DID THAT GUY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU?!”
Ye Wanwan: “I’ll give you a chance to rephrase your question.”
Ye Mu Fan: “…did you take advantage of him?”
Ye Wanwan: “He’s a decent man, very reserved – as if he would simply let me take advantage of him.”
Ye Mu Fan was enraged when he heard that. “Damn! Who does he think he is, huh? Who is he to be so difficult! My sister is great in every way – how dare he not allow you to take advantage of him!”
Ye Wanwan: “So what do you want exactly? Do you want me to take advantage of him or not?”
Ye Mu Fan: “…”
Ye Mu Fan didn’t know how to answer this question.
…
A few hours later, the plane arrived at Imperial City airport.
In order to give Si Ye Han a surprise, Ye Wanwan lied to him and told him she would only arrive in the middle of the night when actually, she had booked an earlier flight on purpose.
“Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. We will be parting ways here. I’d like to head back to Jin garden to give chairman Si a report of the situation.”
“Thanks for your efforts, Miss Ye!” the jade experts said.
This trip altered the attitudes of these three people towards Ye Wanwan.
Behind her, Xue Li watched as Ye Wanwan left and silently made a phone call. “Ye Wanwan is going back to Jin garden. Yes, you may head over now.”
