Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 496 Wu Shaojie's Call

Especially that time when he chatted and laughed with Wang Congcong, the son of the richest man who was unapproachable in the eyes of ordinary people, he actually showed a subtle... restrained or even inferior attitude in front of Ye Fan.

This was like a thunderbolt, completely shattering her naive illusions.

Even if she was naive and inexperienced, she understood what this meant.

Ye Fan's world is a cloud that she can't truly reach even if she stands on tiptoe.

She never dared to dream of becoming his wife; that position was too far away, too unrealistic.

All she wanted was a small corner in his life that could remain there for a long time, even if she was just a canary kept in the golden cage of Jiangnan Jiuxu forever.

It's enough to be able to see him, feel him, and be needed by him.

But the thought that even this humble wish might be taken back, the thought of being separated from him, instantly gripped her heart with an overwhelming grief that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Her heart and body had already been filled and shaped by this man, leaving no room for any other trace.

Overwhelming fear overwhelmed everything.

Chen Wanyu could no longer care about being reserved or testing the waters. She suddenly hugged Ye Fan's arm tightly, like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood. Her body trembled slightly, and her voice was filled with an uncontrollable sob and a humble plea:

"Ye Fan... I'll be very, very good from now on! I won't ask or overthink anymore, and I won't throw tantrums! Please don't leave me... please don't abandon me... okay?"

Ye Fan was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time he had ever seen Chen Wanyu so out of control, so blatantly displaying her vulnerability and dependence.

The image of the flight attendant who used to be a little proud and temperamental has completely disappeared, leaving only the anxious little woman in front of him, who places all her hopes on him.

A sense of indescribable satisfaction and control swept over me.

He reached out, his hand conveying a mix of reassurance and superiority, and gently ruffled her soft hair. His deep voice, carrying a promise-like strength, rang out: "Don't worry."

He paused, then said simply yet with immense weight: "As long as you don't want to leave, you can stay by my side for the rest of your life."

The three words, "a lifetime..." were like heavenly music, and like the most powerful calming pill, instantly filling Chen Wanyu's heart, which was on the verge of collapse.

Her tense body suddenly relaxed, and immense joy and relief overwhelmed her tears. Large, glistening tears rolled down her cheeks, but she couldn't help but smile, revealing a bright smile through her tears, as if a drowning person had finally been pulled to the shore of salvation.

She buried her face deeper into Ye Fan's chest, greedily absorbing the sense of security brought by this promised "future," and whispered, "Mmm... I never want to leave..."

Ye Fan felt the gentle affection in his arms, and looked out at the deep, unfathomable night.

......

The morning sunlight streamed lazily through the tall, wide French windows of Jiangnan Jiuxu, falling onto the messy bed.

Ye Fan was awakened by a sweet kiss and gentle shaking.

Chen Wanyu had already washed and dressed, wearing silk loungewear, her long hair loosely tied up, revealing a section of her fair neck, where there were still ambiguous marks from last night's lovemaking.

Her eyes curved into crescents, exuding a delicate charm and a sense of rebirth that came from being fully nourished, like a bird that had finally found its home.

"Honey~ Wake up, the sun's already high in the sky!" Her voice was soft and cheerful, and she playfully pinched Ye Fan's nose with her fingers.

Ye Fan lazily opened his eyes, taking in the spring scenery in the morning light, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Last night's promise seemed to have lowered her guard, and she radiated a different kind of glow.

The two spent some more time frolicking and tenderly cuddling in the bathroom. By the time they finally sat down in the spacious and bright dining room, the hands of the art clock on the wall were already pointing to eleven o'clock.

On the dining table were several exquisite side dishes made by Chen Wanyu herself.

The stir-fried seasonal vegetables were vibrant green, the sunny-side-up eggs were fried to perfection, and there was a plate of fragrant Cantonese shrimp dumplings.

Although it couldn't compare to a Michelin-starred chef, the taste of "home" and her expectant eyes made Ye Fan feel exceptionally comfortable while eating, a smile constantly playing on his lips.

"Try this. I had my aunt deliver some fresh asparagus this morning."

Chen Wanyu diligently picked up a piece of tender green bamboo shoot with her chopsticks and placed it in Ye Fan's bowl, her gaze following him gently, as if she wanted to etch the way he ate into her heart.

Ye Fan happily enjoyed this rare and cozy lunch, chatting casually with her as he ate.

The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful.

Just then.

Ye Fan's phone, which he had casually placed on the clean table, suddenly vibrated, and the screen lit up, displaying Wu Shaojie's name.

Ye Fan glanced at it, put down his chopsticks, and guessed in his mind: the Bentleys that he had asked him to order earlier should have arrived.

He picked up his phone, swiped to answer, and said in a relaxed tone, "Hello, Lao Wu?"

The news from the other end of the phone wasn't the expected joyous announcement of the luxury car delivery. Wu Shaojie's voice carried an undisguised urgency and excitement: "Old Ye! Are you free today? It's extremely important!"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "Yes, we're eating right now. What, the Bentley's here?"

"The car has arrived! It's right here in the store, and it looks absolutely amazing! But I didn't come to see you today for the car."

Wu Shaojie spoke rapidly: "There's an event in the industry today, and I was thinking of asking you to come along! Why don't you come to the store and find me? We can go together!"

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I got it. I'll come find you in a bit."

After exchanging a few more words, Ye Fan hung up the phone.

He had just put his phone back on the table when Chen Wanyu, who had been listening quietly, asked with concern, "Honey, are you going out to take care of something later?"

"Hmm," Ye Fan nodded, then picked up his phone again, the movement as smooth as breathing: "It's a group activity for friends, let's go check it out."

He tapped the screen a few times quickly, and a few seconds later, Chen Wanyu's phone, which was on the corner of the table, made a crisp "ding" sound and the screen lit up—a bank transfer notification, amount: 1,000,000.00 yuan.

Ye Fan didn't even look up to see her reaction. He continued to pick up a shrimp dumpling and stuff it into his mouth, saying in the most natural tone, "If you're bored at home by yourself this afternoon, or if you were tired last night..."

He gave her a meaningful look, which earned him a slightly flushed cheek: "Just go out for a stroll, buy some bags and jewelry you like, and relax."

Chen Wanyu picked up her phone and stared at the long string of numbers on the screen that made her heart race.

For him, one million was nothing more than a casual "pocket money" transfer.

A bright and understanding smile bloomed on her face, without the slightest affectation or refusal: "Okay, thank you, honey! Go ahead and do your work, be careful."

Ye Fan smiled with satisfaction, quickly finished the food in his bowl, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He stood up, planted a farewell kiss on Chen Wanyu's forehead, and turned to leave through the door.
