28: Chapter 024: Tantai Wanrong’s Phone Call 28: Chapter 024: Tantai Wanrong’s Phone Call The next day, Sunday, a little past nine in the morning, Ye Fan was still lazing in bed when his phone rang. “Hello, who is it?” Holding his phone, Ye Fan yawned and said, “It’s so early, I’m sleepy.” Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. On the other end of the phone, Gao Feng couldn’t help but show a strange expression. It was past nine, the sun was already high in the sky, and yet it was still considered early morning. He knew that in Hua Hai, located on the eastern coast of China, the day starts earlier than many other places. “It’s Gao Feng,” Gao Feng said. Ye Fan hummed and hawed, “Oh, what’s up?” “Uh…” Gao Feng was momentarily speechless, realizing that he might have called too early since the other party was still groggy. However, since he had already made the call, he decided to proceed with the matter. So, he said, “About the job switch to your company, I’ve decided to accept. When do we sign the contract?” “Oh. That’s right. Tomorrow morning. Today is Sunday, and the notary office is closed. We’ll talk more tomorrow. I’m really sleepy, gonna hang up now.” After saying this, Ye Fan hung up the phone, tossed it beside his bed, and continued to sleep. It wasn’t until after ten that Ye Fan got out of bed, stretched lazily, and smiled with a face full of content and laziness, “Sleeping in is just so comfortable.” By half-past ten, Ye Fan had finished washing up and leisurely started eating breakfast. At that moment, Li Zhaojun, dressed in a sharp and professional suit, rushed back home holding a document bag. Due to her push on the new Biomedical project, she had been working overtime constantly, not even taking a break over the weekend, and had left home early in the morning at six. She entered the lobby on the first floor and unintentionally saw Ye Fan sitting in the dining room eating breakfast slowly, which made her pause for a moment. “Is this the man who’s supposed to protect me in the future? Grandpa, could you have been wrong?” she thought sadly. Last night, after returning home, she had reflected all night, realizing that her grandfather didn’t have much time left. Once he was gone, the Li family would definitely ostracize her completely, no longer protecting her. Ye Fan might truly be her future support. But looking at this man now, so lethargic and unambitious, how could he seem like a man worthy of reliance? She took a deep breath, shifted her gaze away, and hurried upstairs to fetch something. A few minutes later, Li Zhaojun found what she was looking for, hurried downstairs, and as she walked out of the lobby, she couldn’t help but glance back at Ye Fan, who was still leisurely eating his breakfast. She didn’t stop, continuing to walk out of the lobby. However, after stepping out of the front door, she clenched her teeth tightly, gripped her document bag firmly, and thought to herself, “Who cares if there’s no support or protection? I, Li Zhaojun, with my own ability, can still live a good life!” As she got into her Maserati, she slammed the accelerator all the way down, and the car immediately “whooshed” out of the villa’s front yard. Her hand swiftly turned the steering wheel, executing a spectacular drift to adjust the direction. She stomped on the accelerator again, and the car sped off like an arrow, disappearing in an instant. … … At three o’clock in the afternoon, Ye Fan was enjoying watching TV in the living room on the first floor when suddenly his phone rang. He lazily picked it up, seeing an unfamiliar number from Hua Hai. “Hello, who is it?” After pressing the answer button, he asked carelessly. “Guess who?” A sweet voice with a hint of playful reprimand came through the phone, filled with infinite allure. Ye Fan’s hand shook as he held the phone, his face dropping. In his mind, an image appeared of a mature, alluring face and a tall, voluptuous figure with boundless charm. “Hehe, so it’s Auntie Rong,” he hastily joked. “Are you healed? Have you been discharged?” “Hmph, so you still remember to pretend to care,” Tantai Wanrong snorted, then chided with a laugh, “You little slicker, daring to give Auntie Rong a fake phone number. If it weren’t for the fact that you had just been at the police station giving your statement, leaving your phone number and address, how long would it have taken me to find you?” “You’re too mean!” she exclaimed softly. Ye Fan hastened to appease her, “Is that so? That can’t be. I clearly gave you my real phone number. It must have been a mistake while saving it.” He was secretly frustrated, wondering how he had forgotten about leaving his phone number at the police station. Otherwise, with over twenty million people in Hua Hai, even though Tantai Wanrong was the vice mayor, finding him wouldn’t have been easy. Now, great, he had left a fake number, and then his real number was found so quickly, how embarrassing. “Really? Why do I see the number you left me completely different from your actual number?” Tantai Wanrong exposed on the spot, visibly irritated. Ye Fan hadn’t expected Tantai Wanrong to be so straightforward, and awkwardly replied, “Oh, I just remembered. That day I accidentally left an old phone number. Hehe, sorry, sorry, got it mixed up.” Tantai Wanrong hummed twice, clearly disbelieving. After a pause, she said, “Shouldn’t you confess to me in person? I’m now at Hua Hai City First People’s Hospital, special care room number one. If you don’t come, I’ll discharge myself and go thank you at your home for saving my life.” She emphasized the last part heavily. “No, no, I’ll come visit you,” Ye Fan called out. Tantai Wanrong let out a flirtatious laugh, sounding slightly triumphant. “That’s more like it. Hurry up over here.” After hanging up, Ye Fan sulked; he really didn’t want to see Tantai Wanrong because he had massively embarrassed himself in front of her. Can’t I be a Lei Feng, doing good deeds anonymously? As a noble vice mayor, you should be supporting this, not doing the opposite! Despite this, Ye Fan turned off the TV, went into his room to change his clothes, and then drove his second-hand Alto to the city’s First People’s Hospital. Upon arriving at the First People’s Hospital, Ye Fan asked several nurses before finding where the special care ward was. Those special care wards weren’t located with the regular wards at all. If not explicitly searching, ordinary people wouldn’t even know of their existence. Taking the dedicated elevator up to the special care ward floor, he was immediately confronted by two brawny security guards. The guards, holding black batons and wearing wary expressions, stared at Ye Fan, one of them asking, “Who are you? Who are you looking for?” “I’m here to visit Tantai Wanrong in Special Care room number one,” Ye Fan said calmly, “My name is Ye Fan.” “Please wait a moment.” The guard spoke to Ye Fan, then turned to a young nurse in a white uniform sitting at a visitor registration desk, “Xiao Lan, go to room number one and ask if the patient agrees to see him.” “Okay.” The young nurse responded and walked away from the visitor registration desk to special care room number one. After the young nurse left, Ye Fan noticed the guards were still quite wary of him, their eyes scanning him all over as if they were worried he might force his way in. Ye Fan couldn’t help but look down at his outfit, finally understanding the issue. Turns out his bargain-bin clothes made him look like a penniless nobody, while anyone who could afford a special care room was either wealthy or influential – hardly the type to have connections with a poor loser. After a while, the young nurse returned, saying, “The patient in room number one agrees to see him.” The guards stepped aside, and Ye Fan could finally proceed. After registering his visit, Ye Fan shook his head, carrying two bags of fruit towards special care room number one.
