173: Chapter 169: Taking Photos 173: Chapter 169: Taking Photos Tantai Wanrong whispered in his ear, “Hehe, you slick kid, you don’t have to be so nervous just taking a photo with your aunt.” “Who’s nervous?” Ye Fan denied, his face slightly red. Tantai Wanrong let out two teasing, playful laughs and blew a fragrance towards Ye Fan like the scent of orchids, “Giggle, then why do I hear a heartbeat like the drumming sound?” Ye Fan was embarrassed and felt utterly self-conscious. However, he immediately adjusted his mentality and admitted frankly, “Hehe, Auntie Wanrong really has a discerning eye, and I can’t hide from it. Your charm is so great, of course I’m a bit nervous.” “Giggle, is this you flattering your aunt?” Tantai Wanrong laughed coquettishly, “I like hearing that, say it more in the future. But remember, I’m your aunt, no wild thoughts allowed.” Ye Fan was embarrassed again. At this moment, Luo Xinling called out, “You two, stand properly, look this way at me, and stop chatting.” Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong stopped talking and both faced the direction of Luo Xinling, looking towards the camera phone. Click! Click! Click! After taking three photos, Luo Xinling shouted, “Ye Fan, you should make a move too, don’t just stand there like a stick.” “What should I do?” Ye Fan purposefully asked Luo Xinling. Luo Xinling said, “Try lightly hugging Auntie Tantai’s waist and see, it might look better.” “This…” Ye Fan hesitated, feeling like hugging her waist might be overstepping. Unexpectedly, Tantai Wanrong chuckled, “Just do as she said.” “Well, then I’ll be so bold.” Ye Fan said as his right hand reached around from behind, his fingers slightly trembling, but he finally managed to lightly encircle Tantai Wanrong’s slender waist. Whew— As he gently laid his hand on Tantai Wanrong’s soft waist, Ye Fan couldn’t help but take a deep breath to relax his nerves. “Are you very nervous?” Tantai Wanrong said softly, without turning her head and still facing Luo Xinling’s direction. Ye Fan said, “It’s not too bad.” “Hehe, I wasn’t very considerate tonight, sorry if I made you feel down,” Tantai Wanrong said softly. “Hehe, there’s nothing to feel down about. No matter what the woman is like, I still have to thank you, Auntie Wanrong. I’m not that ungrateful,” Ye Fan said, but his arm involuntarily tightened a bit more. She said elegantly with a light smile, “It’s worth spoiling you, then.” Suddenly, Tantai Wanrong let out a soft moan. Ye Fan thought he had hugged her too firmly, hurting Tantai Wanrong, and quickly withdrew his hand, asking, “Auntie Wanrong, I’m sorry, did I hug you too hard?” Tantai Wanrong rubbed her waist with her soft, white hand and said, “Indeed, you did hurt me, my waist is almost broken. Let’s not take any more photos.” Ye Fan was filled with regret and wanted to slap himself hard: Why did he hug Auntie Wanrong so tightly? He had hurt her waist. “I’m sorry, Auntie Wanrong,” Ye Fan said with shame. “Hehe, it’s fine,” Tantai Wanrong said lightly, shaking her head in a gesture and tone full of dignity and grace. Seeing Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong part ways, Luo Xinling couldn’t help but call out, “Why did you two separate? I wasn’t done taking photos yet.” Tantai Wanrong walked elegantly towards Luo Xinling and said with a light smile, “We’ve already taken so many, no need to take more. Thank you, Xinling.” “Hehe, that’s a bit of a shame. Just now, you two looked perfect in the frame,” Luo Xinling said. Ye Fan also walked over, extending his hand to Luo Xinling, who understood and gave the phone back to Ye Fan. Afterward, they spent another half hour enjoying the scenery on the river embankment, but eventually, couldn’t bear the crowds any longer. Ye Fan, Tantai Wanrong, and Luo Xinling left the embankment. As soon as the three of them stepped off the riverbank, a little girl selling roses approached and blocked their path. “Sister, you are so beautiful,” the little girl said, looking up with her rosy and adorable face, first complimenting Luo Xinling, then she turned to Ye Fan and said, “Big brother, buy a bouquet of roses for the beautiful sister.” As she spoke, she presented a bunch of bright red roses to Ye Fan, her little face full of hope. Luo Xinling wore a smile on her pretty face, her eyes expectantly watching Ye Fan. However, Ye Fan didn’t want to buy them because these were red roses, meant for a girlfriend, and he was not fond of Luo Xinling. Seeing that Ye Fan did not immediately agree to buy the flowers, Tantai Wanrong stayed silent. Although she had arranged the matchmaking between Luo Xinling and Ye Fan, after their brief interaction earlier, she felt that Luo Xinling was not suitable for Ye Fan. “Big brother, buy a bouquet of roses for the beautiful sister,” the little girl pleaded, and then said to Luo Xinling, “Sister is so pretty, even prettier than roses.” Luo Xinling couldn’t help but call out, “Ye Fan…” Ye Fan felt a bit awkward inside, but his mind worked quickly, and he soon had an idea. He bent down to the little girl and asked, “Little sister, do you think this big sister is beautiful?” He said this while pointing at Tantai Wanrong beside him. The little girl turned to look at Tantai Wanrong and said, “Beautiful.” “Hehe, since this big sister is also beautiful, why do you only ask me to buy for this sister?” Ye Fan said with a smile, gesturing toward Luo Xinling on the other side. The little girl was clearly not a fool; she immediately understood, turned around, and took another bouquet of roses from a basket, saying, “Big brother, buy two bouquets of roses for the beautiful big sister and sister.” “Hehe, sure,” Ye Fan laughed and took out his wallet, asking, “How much in total?” “Two hundred,” the little girl said. Ye Fan pulled out two hundred-yuan bills and gave them to the little girl, taking the two bouquets of roses. “Thank you, big brother, big sister, and sister,” the little girl said after taking the money, then walked away. After the little girl left, Ye Fan, holding the two bouquets of roses, turned to face Tantai Wanrong and Luo Xinling. Luo Xinling was not very pleased to see Ye Fan buying two bouquets, but she could somewhat accept it; it was at least better than him not buying any at all. As for Tantai Wanrong, even though she wore a pair of large sunglasses that covered most of her face, Ye Fan could still see the sexy corners of her mouth curl up; she seemed to be smiling. “Aunt Wanrong, I present these flowers to you. May you always be more beautiful than fresh flowers,” Ye Fan said, giving the first bouquet to Tantai Wanrong. Tantai Wanrong smiled and said, “Hehe, I didn’t expect to bask in Xinling’s glow. Thank you.” After speaking, she took the roses. Next, Ye Fan gave the other bouquet to Luo Xinling. Since Ye Fan had already given the first bouquet to Tantai Wanrong, giving the roses to Luo Xinling lost its special meaning. After sitting down on a long wooden bench in the square below the riverside embankment for a rest of about fifteen minutes, Ye Fan and his companions got up and left the Bund. From the end of the meal to now, it had been nearly three hours, and the time had come to ten o’clock in the evening, which of course meant it was time to go for some late-night snacks. In the car, Luo Xinling sat in the passenger seat, not wearing her seatbelt, and turned to Ye Fan to ask, “Ye Fan, did you have fun at the Bund just now?” “Mm, very fun,” Ye Fan nodded and said. That statement was certainly true. As for who made it enjoyable, that was a different matter. Luo Xinling, of course, assumed Ye Fan was happy because of her and burst into giggles, “Actually, one has more fun when they like someone.” “By the way, who are you planning to give those six tickets to?” she suddenly asked, feeling that the timing was right. “I haven’t decided yet,” Ye Fan said casually. “Will you give me one, please?” Luo Xinling placed her tender white hands on Ye Fan’s thigh and pleaded coquettishly.
