him. Unexpectedly, Si Kong Yanran came back with a friend, and the cooked dinner wasn't enough at all.Hearing Auntie Zheng's words, Wu Min'er immediately let go of Ye Fan's arm and rushed to Auntie Zh...Mei Mei frowned, “Actually, I don’t expect you to have great achievements. But in a place like Yanjing, a car and a house are essential. And you don't have a job, how will you support our family, Xue” Zhu Mei turned her gaze directly at Ye Fan, then turned to Murong Xue, “So daughter, consider what I told you a few days ago about Wang Xingchang’s son. His family is well-off, and he graduated from a prestigious university. I think you should consider it seriously…”
"Mom, I need to talk to Ye Fan for a few minutes." Murong grabbed Ye Fan's arm and rushed into her room.
Ye Fan finally knew the situation. It turned out to be his mother-in-law's preference for her son-in-law, no wonder she always picked and chose so much.
"It seems your mother-in-law is quite invested in this, isn't she" Ye Fan said with a smile, looking at Murong Xue's flustered appearance.
"She's overthinking things, like an anxious eunuch! The Emperor isn't worried," Murong Xue stuck out her tongue playfully, adopting a cute demeanor befitting a young girl.
"Well, it's not like that. As parents, there's no reason why we wouldn't worry about our children, but your mom really is something else. You're so beautiful, how could she even worry about you not getting married"
Murong Xue was still the first time being praised by a man in public for her beauty. Her face flushed red immediately, and she glared at Ye Fan, "Just say nice things."
Ye Fan said seriously, “I’m not lying. You are indeed very pretty, with long legs, fair skin, and a small dimple on your cheek that makes you especially charming when you smile. Just like this expression…”
Murong Xue was blushing, like a ripe apple, after being teased by Ye Fan.
There are just some people in the world who you don't know very well, but you feel like you've known them for a long time. That's how Murong Xue felt now. She wondered why she could be so relaxed when she was with Ye Fan
Unexpectedly, this Murong Xue is quite shy. And her appearance when she's shy is even more charming. So Ye Fan continued, "Moreover, you have an outstanding temperament, with every gesture and action revealing a thousand charms... Most importantly, you have a kind heart, are responsible, generous, gentle, and virtuous. How could someone like that not get married I think your mother is really worrying for nothing. If she truly can't find a husband, I'll marry you!"
Ye Fan spoke more and more outrageously.
"You're dreaming!"
Both of them were unaware that they had unknowingly started flirting with each other.
"This... Dr. Murong, you see, there's something about my little sister..." Ye Fan chuckled, he showered Murong Xue with praise, of course it was for the silly girl's sake. There isn't a woman in this world who doesn't love to hear sweet nothings from a man
Murong Xue chuckled softly, "I said how come your mouth was smeared with honey, it turned out to be for the silly girl's sake. My father talked to me about it, I'm angry that he refuses to admit his mistake. Actually, I've already prepared a treatment plan for her. Tomorrow, after handing over the procedures, we can officially start treating her."
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he excitedly grabbed Murong Xue's hand and said, "Thank you so much, Dr. Murong."
Murong Xue's face flushed red when this man grabbed her hand. At that moment, Zhu Mei was already shouting Murong Xue's name.
"But… you have to promise me one thing…" Murong Xue’s breath quickened.
Yet Ye Fan didn't know, and asked puzzledly, "What conditions"
"Just pretend to be my boyfriend and help me deal with my mom..."
"No problem at all! Just watch this!" Ye Fan patted his chest and assured him.
He may not have other skills, but he was confident in pleasing his mother-in-law. At this moment, a man's voice came from the door, "A-Xue, I heard Xiao Ye is here Where are you hiding him"
Dad's back
Murong Xue was startled and hurriedly opened the door. Just as she did, Ye Fan slipped out from behind her. The two stood close together, walking out one after the other, appearing as if Ye Fan was embracing Murong Xue from behind. Their posture was very ambiguous, making Zhu Mei and Murong Lin stare at them with strange expressions.
"You... what time..." Murong Lin's mouth gaped open, big enough to fit a chicken egg.
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Murong Xue glared at him.
"Alright, no need to say anymore. Dad understands everything," Murong Lin said, giving the vegetables to Zhu Mei, "Quickly go prepare some dishes. Just right, let Xiao Ye have dinner at home before leaving."
Zhu Mei didn't reach out to take the vegetables. She snorted and said, "I won't cook these vegetables you bought. If you want him to eat, you guys figure it out yourselves." Zhu Mei had never liked Ye Fan. This poor kid had no car, no house, and no job in Beijing. In what way was he worthy of her daughter The old man wanted to keep him for dinner, but I won't give him a chance.
Murong Xue looked at Ye Fan with some embarrassment. Her mother had gone too far, hadn't she Even if she didn't like Ye Fan, she should have given him some face! What should she do now The problem was that she really couldn't cook. This put everyone in an awkward position...
While he was hesitating, Ye Fan unexpectedly chuckled and took the dishes. "Perfect," he said with a smile. "I learned some cooking skills from my grandfather when I was little. Let me take charge of this meal." As soon as he finished speaking, he generously carried the ingredients into the kitchen.
"A Xue, go give Xiao Ye a hand." Murong Lin said meaningfully.
"Oh." Murong Xue was afraid Ye Fan would feel embarrassed, so she went to the kitchen to help.
"I said, Xiao Mei, what's wrong with you today Xiaoye is a guest in our family, you should treat her well." After Ye Fan and his daughter left, Murong Lin began to criticize Zhu Mei for her behavior today.
"You know what! He has no car, no house, and no job in Yanjing. How can our Xuexue date someone like that"
After hearing this, Murong Lin burst into laughter, a laugh that left Zhu Mei utterly confused.
After laughing for a while, Murong Lin finally asked, "Do you know who he is"
"I know, you just called him Ye Fan just now. Is there anything remarkable about him" Zhu Meiqi said.
"He's from the Ye family, his grandfather is Ye Kongxian." Murong Lin had a look of longing in her eyes. "If our A Xue could date him, it would be her blessing."
"Ah, the grandson of my benefactor" Zhu Mei was greatly surprised!
Back then, Ye Kongxian had done a great deed for the Murong family. And Zhu Mei also knew about the power of the Ye family, one of the three major giant families in the empire. Just thinking about the wealth of her benefactor, Ye Kongxian alone, she felt that what she had just said to Ye Fan was truly ridiculous!
After entering the kitchen, Murong Xue looked at Ye Fan's skillful cooking with some surprise. She couldn't believe it and said, "I really didn't expect you to have such skills. Could it be that you were a house husband before Cooking at home every day"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "What's this The old man used to be very sharp-tongued. He didn't finish cooking enough dishes in a day, he would almost be driven mad by him."
Ye Fan was telling the truth. The old man had taught him not only martial arts and self-defense, but also some essential life skills, such as cooking. Ye Fan naturally knew that Zhu Mei was deliberately making things difficult for him. He also intentionally wanted to show off in front of Zhu Mei. Since he had promised Murong Xue, he had to play his part well.
Murong Xue looked at Ye Fan with bright eyes. She suddenly felt that this man was very different from others.o do it. It wasn’t my true intention at all! Please, Master Fan, don't blame me. You see, I am a grown man with a ninety-year-old mother bedridden and a one-year-old grandson who needs feeding. I simp...
