Chapter 49 - 49 045 Misunderstanding

49: Chapter 045 Misunderstanding 49: Chapter 045 Misunderstanding The next morning, Ye Fan didn’t wake from his lazy sleep until nearly ten o’clock. He had intended to luxuriate in bed for a bit longer, but remembering he had to visit Tantai Wanrong today, he reluctantly got up. After washing up, having breakfast, and getting ready, it was past ten-thirty when Ye Fan finally got in his car and left home. On the way, he bought two to three pounds of longan fruit and upon arriving at the First People’s Hospital, he headed straight to the special care ward’s private elevator, knowing the route well. Pressing the elevator button, he stood waiting directly in front of the elevator doors. After a while, the elevator doors opened, and just as he was about to enter, a woman rushed out from inside. Immediately after, Ye Fan felt the right half of his body collide with the soft, fragrant figure of the woman. The woman had rushed out too hastily, and combined with Ye Fan’s tall stature, there was no time to dodge, resulting in a collision. Ye Fan, of course, was unharmed, as immovable as a mountain, but the woman was jolted back several steps with a cry of surprise, bumping into the elevator again. Just as she seemed about to fall, Ye Fan quickly stepped forward to support her, grabbing her slender waist. “Sorry, are you okay?” He apologized, noting how soft and thin her waist was. However, not daring to hold on for long, he steadied her, then immediately let go and took two gentlemanly steps back. With some distance between them and taking a careful look, he realized that the woman was actually a beauty. Her eyebrows were like delicate paintings, her skin as white and creamy as milk, and her figure tall and shapely.

A pity that on her tender white left ring finger was a diamond ring, clearly indicating she was a married woman – and an attractive one around thirty at that. The beautiful married woman collected herself, glanced at Ye Fan with his tall frame, his eyes bright and intense, and his face firm. Her beautiful eyes lit up and she smiled, “I’m fine. Thank you.” Then she walked past Ye Fan, leaving behind a trail of pleasant fragrance as she exited the elevator. Ye Fan turned around, pressed the button for the ward’s floor in the elevator, and admired the mature and sexy figure of the beautiful married woman as she departed. At the same time, he faintly overheard her quietly complaining as she walked, “Why do they need to eat ice cream at this time, and specifically Haagen-Dazs, with a half-hour deadline… It’s like they’re trying to kill me…” Soon arriving at the special care ward’s floor, he exited the elevator, turned left, and immediately saw the two burly security guards. Although it had been a week, the guards still remembered Ye Fan dressed in his street-market clothes and didn’t question him. They didn’t ask the nurse to call ahead to Ward One for clearance, just let him sign in at the visitor’s desk and let him through. Ye Fan approached Special Care Ward One, knocked on the door, and found it wasn’t closed, so he pushed it open. “Aunt Wanrong,” he called as he pushed open the door, but there was no response. He looked closer and found the bed empty, with no one to be seen. He stepped inside, closed the ward door behind him, and as his gaze swept around in search of her, he called out again, “Aunt Wanrong, Aunt Wanrong.” No one was in the room or the small living area; however, the television was still on, playing a drama series titled “Silent Separation.” “Where did she go?” Ye Fan mumbled to himself and, after placing the longan fruit, he sat down on a chair to wait for Tantai Wanrong to return. After seven or eight minutes and no sign of Tantai Wanrong, he felt an urgent need to use the restroom, so he headed that way. As soon as he pushed the door open, he immediately saw a stunningly beautiful face, which gave him quite a start. “Aunt, Aunt Wanrong, I didn’t expect you to be in the restroom. I apologize,” Ye Fan quickly explained. Tantai Wanrong was dressed in a hospital gown, with her hair loose and slightly damp, hanging behind her head. Her fair face was flushed with a faint blush, evidently from just having taken a bath, and her feet were in a pair of purple woven slippers. She was clearly taken aback for a moment, then regained her composure. With a slight curve to her lips, her beautiful eyes revealed a disarming cold smile. Ye Fan’s heart “clenched” at once, and he immediately knew that Tantai Wanrong had really misunderstood. All he heard was Tantai Wanrong already saying coldly, “Ye Fan, I was wrong about you. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person, I’m so disappointed in you! You once saved me and also saved Yaoyao, I am indeed grateful to you, but there are some things that can’t be forgiven! Go away, from now on you can ask me to do three things for you, but apart from that, I don’t want to see you or hear your voice again!” Ye Fan felt extremely uncomfortable inside when he heard Tantai Wanrong misunderstood him for peeking, and he hurriedly approached her to explain. But Tantai Wanrong misunderstood even further, thinking Ye Fan was going to lay hands on her, she immediately commanded with a frosty dignity, “Stop right there! Ye Fan, it’s not too late to rein in at the brink of the precipice, I won’t hold you accountable. But if you dare touch a hair on my head, I will make sure you die without a place to be buried!” Ye Fan had to immediately stop, his face flushed with urgency as he said, “Auntie Wanrong, you’ve misunderstood me. Listen to me explain, I really didn’t…” “Didn’t? Then how come you showed up here when I was taking a bath?” Tantai Wanrong scoffed coldly. Ye Fan said anxiously, “That’s because I was in a hurry to pee, so I was planning to go into the restroom, but I had no idea you were inside taking a bath.” “Hmm, you needed to pee?” Tantai Wanrong sneered with suspicion, clearly not believing a word, “Don’t make it such a coincidence! You obviously were peeking! Do you think I’m a naive little girl that can be easily tricked?” Ye Fan couldn’t help but widen his eyes; he couldn’t clear things up even if he had ten mouths. Seeing Ye Fan not speaking, Tantai Wanrong sneered, “No more excuses now that I’ve hit the mark? Just go, I don’t want to see you anymore!” With that, she turned her back to him, exposing her graceful figure, but at this moment, Ye Fan had no interest in admiring it. “Auntie Wanrong, I know you’re hot-headed right now and not in the mood to listen to my explanation,” Ye Fan said earnestly, “But, I must stress that this was absolutely an accident. I swear.” Tantai Wanrong did not turn around or speak, merely responding with a derisive sneer, clearly not buying Ye Fan’s words. Being wrongly accused felt terrible, especially by someone he cared about a bit, someone who didn’t trust his character—the feeling was even worse, almost angering him. Ye Fan took a deep breath and said, “Auntie Wanrong, I’m leaving. If you say we won’t meet again, then so be it. Thanks for your help. As for your offer to do three more favors for me, ha, there’s hardly anyone in the world who could do what I, Ye Fan, can’t do myself. I must emphasize one last time, I definitely did not intentionally peek at you.” Having said this, Ye Fan turned and left. Reaching the door of the hospital room, Ye Fan deliberately slowed his footsteps a bit, waiting for Tantai Wanrong to change her mind, but, in the end, he didn’t wait for her to ask him to stay. “Well, I guess that’s where our fate ends,” he said to himself with a wry smile. Exiting Tantai Wanrong’s hospital room, Ye Fan walked to the elevator. Just as he was about to press the elevator button, the elevator door happened to open, and a scorching figure bolted out. This time, Ye Fan reacted quickly, immediately dodging to the left to avoid the fiery figure. After dashing out of the elevator, the figure stopped, then turned to Ye Fan and said, “Sorry, I almost bumped into you… Oh, it’s you?” Upon closer inspection, Ye Fan realized that this fiery figure was the same beautiful woman he had accidentally bumped into when taking the elevator on his way up. “Mm,” responded Ye Fan, with no mood to engage, utterly uninterested in entertaining any sort of beauty at the moment and so he directly entered the elevator. Watching the elevator doors closing, the beautiful lady swung her fist at the doors in frustration, huffing, “So full of yourself, acting all high and mighty, daring to ignore the boundless charm of Zhao the great beauty! If I run into you again, you’ll see! Hmph!!!” After fuming for a while, she turned and walked towards the hospital room, entering the special care unit number one, which was Tantai Wanrong’s room.
