Chapter 269: Stingy Ye Fan
Lanxi crossed her arms, looking Ning Xi and Ye Fan up and down, and commented, "You two standing together actually look quite well-matched, and you're both so smart. If you have children in the future, your genes will definitely be very strong!"
"Mom!"
Ning Xi stomped her foot and forcefully pulled her hand away, exclaiming in shame and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about?! What do you mean by 'in the future'..."
At this point, she couldn't continue speaking!
Is this really her biological mother?
She did have feelings for Ye Fan, and she admitted this fact to herself.
But feelings were one thing—she and Ye Fan hadn't even started dating yet, so how did it jump straight to having children?
This was too much!
Ye Fan chuckled and nodded in agreement, "Sister Lan, you're absolutely right. I also think..."
"Hiss!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly came from his waist, making him inhale sharply. He turned his head and met Ning Xi's gaze, which looked like she was about to bite him. Immediately, he let out an awkward laugh and quickly shut his mouth.
Meeting her daughter's resentful gaze, Lanxi feigned confusion, rubbing her head with a dazed look in her eyes. "Xiao Xi, why are you looking at me like that? Did I just say something?"
Ning Xi: "..."
She suddenly realized something—whether it was her mother or Ye Fan, they were both... shameless!
She was far from being their match!
...
After lunch.
Ning Xi wasted no time and immediately dragged Ye Fan out the door. Her eager demeanor made Ye Fan inexplicably want to laugh. It was obvious that this girl had probably never been to an arcade before.
Actually, he rarely went to such places either.
From what he remembered, he had been there a few times during middle school, but he later lost interest and never went again.
As they reached the villa entrance, Ye Fan's eyes swept over Ning Xi's black dress, and he stopped in his tracks.
"Xiao Xi, go change your clothes and remember to wear a mask."
Most of the people in the arcade were boys. If this girl showed up like this, she would definitely cause a massive sensation.
Ye Fan wasn't afraid of trouble, but he didn't want any unnecessary distractions to ruin the fun of their outing.
"What's wrong with my clothes?"
Ning Xi looked down at her dress and muttered softly, "It looks perfectly normal!"
"Well..."
Ye Fan opened his mouth, unsure how to explain. He simply said, "Just go change like I told you, be good."
"Also, wear something loose. Hurry up!"
As he spoke, he pushed Ning Xi's delicate back, forcibly sending her back into the house while he waited outside.
There was nothing wrong with the dress itself, but Ning Xi's figure was just too good. Coupled with the special design of the dress, her curves were simply breathtaking.
Ye Fan didn't want this beautiful sight to be seen by others.
That's right—he was just that possessive!
Ning Xi grumbled indignantly as she returned to her bedroom. She stood in front of the mirror, slowly turned around once, and mumbled, "It looks perfectly fine, so why..."
Halfway through her complaint, she suddenly understood why Ye Fan wanted her to change clothes.
"Pfft—"
She covered her mouth with both hands, the corners of her eyes curling up involuntarily. Talking to herself, she murmured, "Is that guy really this possessive?"
After about ten minutes, when Ning Xi reappeared in front of Ye Fan, her dress had been replaced with a pink T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers.
Both the T-shirt and jeans were relatively loose, perfectly concealing the girl's figure. Other than her slender arms and fair neck drawing some attention, Ye Fan was quite satisfied with the outfit.
Ning Xi spread out her hands. "Is this okay now?"
"Actually, I wanted you to wear long sleeves."
"..."
Looking at Ye Fan's serious face, Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh. She pursed her lips and, surprisingly, nodded obediently before turning back into the house.
"I'll go change."
"Huh..."
Ye Fan was stunned.
Based on Ning Xi's personality, she should have argued with him. Why was she being so obedient?
Strange!
His thoughts shifted slightly, and then he suddenly chuckled. "Could this girl be considering my feelings? No doubt about it, she must be."
As he asked and answered himself, various possibilities surfaced in his mind, and he finally settled on the conclusion.
Ning Xi was looking after his emotions!
Five or six minutes later, Ning Xi's pink T-shirt had been swapped for a white chiffon long-sleeve top. Still loose-fitting, it completely met Ye Fan's requirements.
Ning Xi spread her arms and slowly turned around in front of Ye Fan. "Take a look. If there's anything else you're not happy with, I can change again. Today, I must make sure big brother is satisfied."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but giggle.
Ye Fan wasn't embarrassed at all. He simply stated outright, "Judging by your expression, you've probably figured out why I wanted you to change. That's right—I just don't want others to look at you. You're my girl, and I'm very possessive about this."
Such childish words, yet he spoke them with utter seriousness.
He didn't feel ashamed in the slightest. He liked Ning Xi, and her beauty was for him to admire alone!
Others wanted to look?
Ha!
Dream on!
"Got it, I'll be more careful in the future."
Surprisingly, Ning Xi didn't argue. Especially when she heard the words you're my girl, the corners of her lips lifted into a soft smile. She took the initiative to hold Ye Fan's big hand and walked out with him.
Seeing that the girl didn't refute him, Ye Fan also grinned.
Unrequited love was a battlefield of turmoil.
But mutual love—was a sweet journey for two.
Every minute, every second, was worth cherishing.
...
The arcade was as lively as ever, filled with familiar sounds of game machines being smacked and hit.
Ning Xi stood frozen in place for a while before she slowly came to her senses. Gradually, she was drawn in by the atmosphere. Her bright eyes carried a hint of excitement as she hugged Ye Fan's arm and pulled him toward the front counter. But after taking two steps, as if realizing something, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes. She let go of Ye Fan's arm and instead placed her left hand into the familiar warmth of his big hand. Tilting her head, she gazed at him with sparkling eyes, her sweet voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.
"Brother, go buy game tokens. I want a lot, a lot of game tokens! Today, I must play to my heart's content!"
Ye Fan reached out, adjusted the mask on Ning Xi's face, and teased with a low chuckle, "What do you even know how to play?"
"Uh..."
Ning Xi was dumbfounded, unsure how to respond.
It seemed... she didn't know how to play anything.
So embarrassing...
The corners of Ye Fan's lips curled into a deep smile. He affectionately gave her a head pat and said in a gentle voice, "Just tell me what you want to play, and I'll teach you."
Ning Xi happily bounced up, made a peace sign, and her eyes twinkled like stars.
Ye Fan had never seen Ning Xi this happy before. He couldn't help but tease her, "Xiao Xi, you've really had it rough all these years. From now on, just follow me. I promise you'll eat well and have fun every day."
Ning Xi blinked in confusion. "Eat well and have fun?"
"Yes."
Ye Fan nodded. "From now on, if there's anything good to eat or fun to play, I'll take you there. How about that?"
This scene had the distinct vibe of a big bad wolf coaxing a little white rabbit.
"Why does it feel like you're tricking me?"
