Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 36 - 36 032 Jealousy

36: Chapter 032 Jealousy 36: Chapter 032 Jealousy After handing over the “Biomedical New Project Planning” to his mother for evaluation by Huachang Investment Fund, Ye Fan had nothing else to do.

He idly browsed the internet for a while, then read some news before looking up at Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman was engrossed in her work, entering a list into the computer and producing a series of rapid keyboard clicks.

She was naturally beautiful with a delicately fair and tender face, bright eyes, a small refined nose, and crimson lips.

Particularly, her focused expression added a unique charm to her, making her even more attractive.

After watching her for a while, Ye Fan felt pleased and left his chair to walk over to her.

It was not until he reached her desk that Lu Xiaoman noticed and looked up suddenly, only to startle and let out a soft cry when she saw Ye Fan standing there.

“Ye Fan, you scared me to death!” Lu Xiaoman said, lightly patting her chest to calm down, while slightly chiding him.

Ye Fan chuckled and replied innocently, “I didn’t mean to shout and scare you, it’s just that you were too focused.

You can’t blame me.”

“It’s your fault!” Lu Xiaoman retorted playfully, with a hint of coquetry.

Ye Fan laughed heartily and said, “Yes, yes, my fault.

Are we good now?”

“Giggle.” Lu Xiaoman smiled happily and said, “Actually, you can’t be blamed.

What brought you here?”

“Lil’ Man,” after a pause, Ye Fan said, “How about we have dinner together after work?”

“Sure,” Lu Xiaoman blurted out, and then her face turned red.

“Oh Lu Xiaoman, how could you just agree so easily when he asked?

Reserve!

Reserve!

A girl must be reserved.

Next time, definitely don’t rush to agree,” she scolded herself silently.

At six o’clock, Lu Xiaoman got into Ye Fan’s Alto, and then Ye Fan drove directly to the same restaurant they dined at last time.

However, on the way, Lu Xiaoman said in advance, “Ye Fan, we can’t spend too much time having dinner.

I need to be home before seven.”

“Hehe, sure, no problem,” Ye Fan responded with a smile.

A few minutes later, at Mingxuan Pavilion on Chaoyang Road.

They entered the restaurant and sat down at a table by the wall.

After ordering, the waiter left, and Ye Fan gazed intently at Lu Xiaoman’s pretty face.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Lu Xiaoman whispered, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Hehe, because you’re beautiful,” Ye Fan chuckled, “Lil’ Man, slide your hand under the table.”

“What for?” Lu Xiaoman asked, heart racing, feeling from Ye Fan’s gaze that he was up to no good.

Still, she slightly bit her soft lower lip and stretched her hand under the table.

Ye Fan chuckled softly, and his hand quickly reached out to grasp Lu Xiaoman’s soft, boneless hand.

Lu Xiaoman felt her hand being held, first stiffened but did not struggle, and then relaxed, letting Ye Fan hold it.

She just bit her soft red lips lightly, her face completely flushed, and modestly lowered her head, avoiding Ye Fan’s gaze.

While observing Lu Xiaoman’s shy and adorable demeanor, Ye Fan gently held her smooth hand under the table.

Sadly, beautiful moments are always fleeting, and about six or seven minutes later, the waiter brought the first dish, causing Lu Xiaoman to withdraw her hand, leaving Ye Fan feeling somewhat wistful.

At seven o’clock, Lu Xiaoman still did not want Ye Fan to drive her home, so Ye Fan had no choice but to drive her to the subway station entrance.

The next morning, Ye Fan arrived at work on time, without being late.

After a night apart, upon seeing Lu Xiaoman again, Ye Fan found her even more beautiful and captivating, her skin glowing and her beautiful eyes shimmering dreamily, soft and affectionate as they gazed at him.

Clearly, she was flourishing from the nourishment of love.

During lunch, Ye Fan and Lu Xiaoman still sat together to eat.

When Li Zhaojun entered the cafeteria, she saw them sitting opposite each other, talking and laughing, which made her frown slightly.

She suddenly remembered that Ye Fan had not come home for dinner for two consecutive days.

“He hasn’t come home for dinner for two days.

Could he be dating that woman?” Li Zhaojun thought, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Although she had previously declared that they should live separate lives and not interfere with each other, and she even looked down on Ye Fan, the discomfort in the depths of her heart was real.

Then, she thought about how she had been frantically busy pushing the Biomedical New Project Planning recently, exhausting both mentally and physically.

Especially since Gong Yongfu and Sun Yuan, in conjunction with other small and medium shareholders, had opposed her, hampered her, and she couldn’t freely implement her own concepts and ideas in the group she had founded herself, which annoyed her greatly.

And Ye Fan?

He was loafing around every day, frivolously flirting with women under her very nose!

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but resent Ye Fan: his own wife was being bullied by others, yet he was oblivious and still womanizing!

However, her self-control was extremely strong; her strikingly beautiful face betrayed nothing.

She continued walking with a cold, aloof expression and unwavering steps, entering the exclusive snack bar for senior executives of the group.

In the afternoon, Ye Fan had planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue his dinner date with Lu Xiaoman after work, but at four o’clock, a call from Li Zhaojun disrupted his plans.

“Come to my office,” she said coldly on the phone, her tone commanding.

Ye Fan was immediately unhappy and responded, “Can’t you just say what it’s about over the phone?”

“Ye Fan, I am now commanding you as the chairman to come to my office immediately!” Li Zhaojun snapped.

“Alright, alright, I get it,” Ye Fan reluctantly replied.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan didn’t immediately head up; instead, he leisurely drank a glass of water before finally making his way.

He took the elevator to the penultimate floor, then walked to the chairman’s office door and knocked.

“Come in,” came Li Zhaojun’s decisive and clear voice from inside.

Pushing the door open, Ye Fan saw Li Zhaojun sitting at her desk, instructing her secretary Wang Siyan.

Upon Ye Fan’s entry, Li Zhaojun broke off her instructions and said to Wang Siyan, “Okay, you can go back.

Refine the details according to my thoughts.”

“Alright,” Wang Siyan replied, taking her folder and leaving.

However, as she passed by Ye Fan, a strange expression crossed her face.

She remembered Ye Fan very clearly: a newly joined HR department employee, always casual and trying to act cool.

She couldn’t understand why the high and mighty chairman would want to see him alone, and as soon as he arrived, she was sent away.

“Could Ye Fan be related to Director Li?” she couldn’t help but speculate.

No matter how much she guessed, she could never imagine that Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun were married.

She exited the office and closed the door behind her.

With no outsiders present, Ye Fan casually sat on the sofa, propping up his legs, and said, “So, what is it?

I assume, as a mere low-level employee, you, the lofty chairman, wouldn’t have a work task specifically for me that bypasses so many levels.”

Seeing Ye Fan’s flippant and untidy demeanor, Li Zhaojun’s pretty face immediately turned cold, her gaze filled with contempt and disgust.

Yet Ye Fan completely ignored that kind of gaze; she always looked at him that way, after all.

After a while, she finally spoke, “After work, you’re coming home for dinner.”

“Why?” Ye Fan straightened and asked.

“Why?

Do I need a reason to come home for dinner?” Li Zhaojun retorted sarcastically.

Seeing Ye Fan’s clearly unhappy face, she immediately guessed that he had planned to meet that woman tonight.

Ye Fan was speechless, nodding his head.

Coming home for dinner indeed needed no reason.

Although he and Li Zhaojun had clearly decided to live separate lives, now that she had openly asked him to come home for dinner, he had to give her face.

So, he replied listlessly, “Got it.”

“That’s all, you can go back,” Li Zhaojun said.

Seeing Ye Fan’s dejected appearance, she felt an inexplicable surge of satisfaction.

Ye Fan became even more depressed and said, “Really, that’s it?

Couldn’t you have said such a simple thing over the phone?

It’s hard for me to climb up and down like this.”

“I wanted to!” Li Zhaojun’s sensual lips curved slightly, a sense of revenge bringing a surge of relief to her, easing her recent repression.
