231: Chapter 227 Two Phone Calls 231: Chapter 227 Two Phone Calls Ye Fan entered the bar, and he hadn’t been to a bar for quite a while. Finding a booth, he ordered a bottle of baijiu and five different meat snacks including marinated duck heads and grilled squid. At Tantai Wanrong’s home, meals were vegetarian, which was not only contrary to his personal desire for meat, but insufficient for maintaining his Qi-Blood, robust as a dragon and tiger. After the waiter left, Ye Fan turned to face outward, his gaze searching for the silhouette of beauties among the crowd. However, his eyes inadvertently swept past two men who had followed him into the bar, revealing a cold smirk on his lips. In fact, he had noticed someone was tailing him a long time ago. It’s just that he didn’t pay much attention to these people. The service in the bar was very fast, and soon enough, the drinks and snacks were brought over. As Ye Fan was drinking and snacking, he suddenly felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Tantai Wanrong. He immediately answered with a smile, “Hehe, Auntie Wanrong.” “Um, you little slicker,” Tantai Wanrong’s voice came, soft and soothing, affectionately calling out. Then she inquired, “Why is it so noisy where you are?” Ye Fan replied with a smile, “I’m outside.” “No, there’s some very rhythmic heavy metal music and lots of noise. Are you at a bar or a nightclub?” asked Tantai Wanrong. Ye Fan responded with a wry smile. Auntie Wanrong was indeed astute; actually, where he was seated in the booth, the noise wasn’t that prominent. He chuckled, “At a bar.” “You little slicker, were you upset at my house just now?” Tantai Wanrong spoke. “To be honest, your Auntie Tian Ya is really nice, despite being a bit of a prankster. I already scolded her.” Ye Fan laughed, “I wasn’t upset. I know Auntie Tian Ya is very kind, otherwise, she wouldn’t have given me a Rolex watch the first time we met. I just needed to eat something, that’s all. Eating only vegetarian food and not meat, I simply couldn’t get full. Please don’t be mad, Auntie Wanrong.” “Hehe,” came the elegant laugh tinged with a bit of charm from Tantai Wanrong, and then she said, “That’s my fault. Next time you come over for a meal, I’ll make sure to prepare two pure meat dishes for you. However, I must say in advance, I’m not very good at cooking meat dishes.” “Hehe, thank you, Auntie Wanrong,” Ye Fan said with a laugh. Tantai Wanrong pondered for a moment before saying, “In a couple of days, if I’m free, I will invite you out for a meal by myself, as compensation for the frustration you experienced dining at my place tonight.” Ye Fan was about to decline, but then the thought of dining alone with Tantai Wanrong made him hold back. “Hehe, thank you, Auntie Wanrong,” he laughed. Tantai Wanrong let out two sweet “heehee” giggles, her laughter was soft and alluring, and she said, “Well then, I’m hanging up now. Don’t stay in the bar for too long; it’s a place full of mixed company and not safe.” “Alright, I’ll leave once I’ve finished eating,” Ye Fan responded. After hanging up, Ye Fan, a smile still on his face, was about to put the phone back into his pocket when another call came in. Looking at the caller ID, it was actually Zhao Tianya. Humph, she dares to call me after messing up my dinner tonight. As soon as the call connected, Zhao Tianya’s charming laughter came from the phone, “Giggle, you unreliable slick rascal, who were you talking to just now? You were on the phone for so long that your auntie here couldn’t get through.” Ye Fan’s face darkened as he responded irritably, “Zhao Big Sister, when we’re not in front of Aunt Tantai, it’s better for us to address each other as equals.” Zhao Tianya was really getting addicted to playing the aunt role. “Giggle, that won’t do. There’s a saying, ‘once a teacher, forever a father.’ By extension, once you call someone auntie, she’s your auntie for life!” Zhao Tianya giggled, “Giggle, you little rascal, are you feeling upset and going crazy?” After that, she laughed with happy self-satisfaction. Ye Fan was all shades of dark, retorting, “You can be my aunt, but then you should act with the dignity of an elder.” “Giggle, such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!” Zhao Tianya cooed reproachfully, “Just now at dinner, your auntie was just trying to comfort you because you seemed down. And here you are accusing me of wrongdoing.” “Besides, isn’t it the special right of aunts everywhere to tease their nephews for fun when they’re bored?” she said with righteous indignation. Ye Fan was embarrassed, thinking she really had a nerve to twist it like that. “Let’s just stick to calling each other siblings,” Ye Fan said, disregarding Zhao Tianya’s twisted logic, “I don’t need so many aunts.” “Auntie is auntie,” Zhao Tianya insisted. Having finally found a way to get a grip on you, this slippery little rascal, why would this beauty let go so easily? After a pause, she giggled seductively, “Giggle, my dear nephew, if you’re so eager to call your auntie ‘sister,’ do you have some ulterior motive? Ah! I know, giggle, do you fancy your auntie? That’s possible, as your auntie is going to be divorced and free soon. If that is the case, this beauty might lower her status and be called ‘sister’ by you.” Ye Fan felt countless dark streaks sprouting from the back of his head and said, “Stop joking. I’m a pure little white flower; how could I ever harbor special feelings for you?” “Giggle, then your auntie is truly disappointed. So, I can only be your auntie, and occasionally tease my darling nephew for fun,” Zhao Tianya giggled. Ye Fan was rendered speechless and changed the subject, “What’s the matter? Why did you call me?” “Nothing, really. It’s just that I was feeling down today, but then something very happy happened, so when you balance the two, I guess I’m still happy,” Zhao Tianya said. Ye Fan couldn’t help but ask, “What unhappy thing happened to you?” “Wanna know?” Zhao Tianya teased playfully, “Call me ‘auntie,’ and then I’ll tell you.” “Forget it, I don’t want to know,” Ye Fan said without enthusiasm. Zhao Tianya huffed, “Heartless! You don’t care about your auntie at all. And here I was, planning to buy you a Rolex gold watch as a gift.” Being cornered by Zhao Tianya like this, Ye Fan reluctantly said, “Auntie Ya.” “Giggle giggle…” Zhao Tianya burst into happy laughter. After laughing for a while, she suppressed her giggles and said, “That’s more like it. But, I’m not going to tell you for now!” Ye Fan immediately felt aggravated. This bewitching woman just loved to tease people. At that moment, Ye Fan saw a gang of people carrying weapons, looking menacingly as they walked towards him, so he quickly said, “I have an emergency, got to go.” After finishing, he hung up right away. While calmly putting his phone back into his pocket, he sized up the newcomers. Leading them was the thug who had been beaten by him twice and had actually been detained, Narrow-Eyed Thug. “Narrow-Eyed Thug is just an insignificant small-time hoodlum, yet he’s able to repeatedly bring people to trouble me, with the numbers growing each time, and he always manages to find me accurately. The person tailing me earlier must have been one of his too.” Ye Fan quickly pondered, “Such a minor character, how could he have this much clout? There must be someone behind the scenes!”
