The hideous look truly frightened Huang Ying!
Indeed, she had developed feelings for Ye Fan.
She knew everything about Ye Fan: his child, wife, and family. Yet, she found herself attracted to this man all of a sudden.
Maybe she was a bad woman, but she hadn’t thought about destroying someone else’s family.
Huang Ying wasn’t foolish; she knew she was daydreaming. Ye Fan loved his wife and had children, among other things; besides, she didn’t match up.
But that’s how the heart works, it gives itself away with no way to take it back.
She felt helpless!
To her surprise, Wang Xiaomei had found out.
She had tried hard to conceal it, afraid of being seen for fear of not caring, but she didn’t want to affect Ye Fan’s family.
After all, she could tell that Ye Fan cared deeply for his family.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for them.
Yet, still…
“Wang Xiaomei, don’t talk nonsense. How could I possibly like Mr. Ye Fan? He and I are worlds apart; he’s so outstanding!” Huang Ying said in a fluster.
“Talking this way, you could cause a significant impact, especially on his family. When that happens, Mr. Ye Fan won’t be so easygoing!” Huang Ying added.
She could tell that Mr. Ye Fan was usually calm, but when his family was involved, he turned furious.
So, she hoped Wang Xiaomei wouldn’t cause trouble for herself.
“Heh, are you lecturing me, teaching me how to behave? Are you qualified? How do you think, are you my good friend? I never considered you a friend; you’re just a stepping stone to me!” Wang Xiaomei said with a cold laugh, releasing Huang Ying’s shoulders and looking down on her.
Huang Ying, do you really think you’re fit to be my friend, Wang Xiaomei?
Heh heh heh, what a joke!
You think you’re so important?
“Fine, if you don’t think of me as a friend, then from now on we’re not friends!” Huang Ying said emphatically.
Wang Xiaomei in front of her felt strange and frightening.
Perhaps this was for the best.
The Wang Xiaomei she knew before had vanished and would not come back.
“Heh, who cares? Take care of yourself!” said Wang Xiaomei, and with a cold laugh, she turned and left.
Huang Ying watched Wang Xiaomei’s retreating figure with deep sadness in her eyes.
From now on, they were no longer friends.
Huang Ying walked inside, feeling somewhat lost.
~~~
On his end, Ye Fan thought it would be better to make the delivery sooner rather than later.
Mulling over it, he got home and took out the nearly century-old ginseng, which was still well-preserved.
He planned to hand it to Huang Ying when he picked up the kids in the afternoon.
Having decided, Ye Fan took his fishing rod to go fishing.
Fishing brought him happiness when he was idle.
Of course, Zhuge was with him.
After the old man returned, Zhuge had come back as well.
In any case, the Bai Group was still the Bai Family’s. Although he had bought all the shares, Ye Fan had transferred them to Bai Susu long ago.
“Master, what would happen to these people if this world really changed?” Zhuge asked, sitting nearby with a fishing rod in his hands and turning his face to speak slowly.
Although he hadn’t been in this world long, he had grown fond of it.
He truly didn’t want the impending disaster to destroy everything here.
“What else? Survival of the fittest, it’s the law of nature. It’s inevitable,” Ye Fan said.
Yes, humans are indeed tiny compared to nature.
They have no ability to resist at all.
So, this will indeed be a catastrophic disaster.
“Yes, but then again, how many innocent people will suffer!” Zhuge sighed.
“There’s no way around it; what must be faced cannot be avoided,” Ye Fan said.
“You really see it clearly, Master!” Zhuge spoke with admiration.
“What’s the use of seeing it any other way? As long as my family is safe, I am grateful,” Ye Fan spoke again.
It was true, some things couldn’t be avoided.
As long as his family was safe, he would be at peace.
What worried him most was his family.
“Master, rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect the young master, the madam, and your parents,” Zhuge said.
He knew those were the people Ye Fan worried about most.
“Thank you,” Ye Fan replied.
To him, Zhuge was a friend and a mentor.
Zhuge had truly helped him a lot over time and taught him many things.
Therefore, Ye Fan was very thankful to Zhuge.
“Master, there’s no need to be so formal with me; it’s my responsibility to help you,” Zhuge responded.
“Alright, let’s focus on fishing,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
The two sat by the shallow lake, intently watching the floats…
~ It wasn’t until the afternoon that Ye Fan packed up his fishing gear.
He and Zhuge had each caught a couple of pounds of fish, which was enough for making soup.
The kids loved fish soup the most.
“Alright, I’ll leave this to you. I need to go pick up the kids!” Ye Fan said to Zhuge with a smile.
He left the clean-up in Zhuge’s hands.
“Master, be careful!” Zhuge nodded in response.
“Don’t worry,” Ye Fan reassured.
Ye Fan drove his nanny car, taking the ginseng with him, headed for the kindergarten.
