Chapter 150: New Year

Inside the suite, Yang Fan and Wang Yun sat together anxiously.

"Yang Fan, you rose to prominence suddenly last September. Among your women, Lin Ruo and Lin Xi are senior bodyguards, ranked third in the assassin underworld and quite renowned; Xia Yufei is a student at Tianning Normal University, and Wu Qian is your secretary.

Furthermore, you joined the Tianning SWAT team in October, single-handedly destroyed the Redemption Organization, and established two academies—one a women's academy sheltering over three thousand so-called maids, and the other housing five or six hundred female slaves. You single-handedly founded the Fanmei Film Group and the Fanmei Resort!"

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He truly had not expected Director Wang to have investigated him so thoroughly. Of course, if someone with intent wanted to look into these matters, such public affairs could be found out clearly, but as for the hidden things...

"Alright, stop trying to frighten Yang Fan. Yang Fan, dear, your father just has this kind of personality, don't take it to heart," Wang Yun's mother said with a smile as she looked at Yang Fan.

"How am I frightening him? I'm just stating the facts!"

"He's like this even at home!"

Yang Fan was slightly taken aback; the family tradition in the Wang household was clearly that the women made the decisions!

"Little Fan, Mom will be straight with you too. Your father and I don't have any demanding requests; we just hope you treat Yun'er well."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry!" Yang Fan promised.

"Of course we're relieved. As for this wedding, I don't think we need to hold a formal ceremony. Just invite some relatives and friends over for a meal! There's no need for us to spell everything out; just keep it in mind!"

Yang Fan naturally knew that Wang Yun's parents were looking out for him. After all, he had so many women, and Wang Yun was not the only one who had legally registered their marriage with him.

Director Wang was probably fully aware of this point.

"Dad, Mom, rest assured, I will definitely make it up to Yun'er with a grand wedding in the future."

"That won't be necessary. Serving in the provincial government, I naturally have some understanding of these supernatural beings. Since you are an esper, these mundane rituals are really quite unnecessary," Director Wang said.

Wang Yun's mother nodded in agreement, and with that, she pulled out a red envelope. "This is just a small token of affection from us parents," she said.

"Don't disdain it as too little. Your current assets must be around three to four billion by now, right?"

Yang Fan was extremely excited. After all these months, he was finally seeing some money.

"Enough, I suppose!" Yang Fan replied.

Wang Yun reached out to take it directly, but her mother slapped her hand away.

"Mom, what did you hit me for?"

"This is for Yang Fan! What business is it of yours?"

Yang Fan eagerly caught the envelope and said, "Thank you, Dad and Mom!"

"How is the Women's Academy doing?"

"It's alright. Their mental states have stabilized quite a bit."

"That's very good. And do you know what your Women's Academy signifies? It means that in many circumstances, both the provincial and municipal authorities will greenlight things for you!" Director Wang said.

"Dad, I never thought about any of that originally. I just wanted those three thousand and more girls to stop suffering."

Director Wang nodded. Precisely because of that, it was a great act of benevolence. It seemed his daughter really did have a good eye for people.

"Things haven't been very peaceful in Tianning lately either, so you should be careful, especially concerning that Zhao Jing of yours. I actually couldn't find out anything about her background."

"Dad, Sister Jing, she..."

"I'm just giving Yang Fan a heads-up; I didn't say she was a bad person. However, Yang Fan, there might still be other espers lurking in Tianning."

"Yes, I've already discovered some, though they are only half-espers."

"Be careful yourselves!" Director Wang cautioned.

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, we'll pay attention."

"Alright, that's enough for now. Coming back from the provincial capital, I'm feeling a bit tired. You all go ahead and do whatever you need to do."

"Dad, Mom, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go prepare some food for you!"

Yang Fan walked straight toward the door.

"Yang Fan, there's no need."

"Dad, how can you not eat!" Yang Fan was extremely excited. It seemed Wang Yun's parents actually liked him quite a bit.

"You should treat Yang Fan better from now on, and stop only thinking about spending money on yourself."

From behind came the sound of Wang Yun's mother scolding Wang Yun.

"I treat him very well."

"Very well? You think we didn't see you sneaking the red envelope back into your own pocket just now, you girl."

"Dad, whose side are you on anyway?"

...

Yang Fan touched his pocket and nearly collapsed. So the money had simply made a round trip right back into his own pocket!

At the doorway, Liu Mingfeng and the others were waiting. He had been thinking that if the situation looked wrong, he would knock, but when Yang Fan came out, he was left blinking in surprise.

Family really is the best...

"How did it go? Are you okay?" Liu Mingfeng asked in a low voice.

杨帆 muttered, "It's fine! There was never any real issue to begin with."

"That's good. I thought you and Wang Yun were going to end up kneeling there and explaining yourself," President Han chuckled.

"Oh, I get it now, Young Master Han. Is that how you get punished with kneeling at home?"

Everyone burst into roaring laughter. It was already close to midnight, and after chatting a little longer, the crowd dispersed.

Wang Yun did not go with Yang Fan; she stayed behind to sleep with her mother that night!

Lin Ruo, Lin Xi, and Xu Zihan returned to the Wanghai Villa District. Yang Fan stood hesitating at the doorway for a long time before finally stepping inside.

The villa was quiet, with the lights on in two of the rooms. Yang Fan chose an empty bedroom and pushed the door open to go in.

For some reason, he actually lacked the courage to face Lin Ruo.

Lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep!

In the middle of the night, Lin Ruo came over. She knew very well that Yang Fan was awake.

"That marriage certificate is nothing more than a scrap of paper. My main point is that you ought to give Yufei, Wu Qian, and Wang Yun proper official standing! After all, they followed you!"

"What about the two of us?"

"Why must you take it so seriously?" Lin Ruo said.

"And what if I do take it seriously?"

"I'll say it again: the two of us are impossible. As for you and Lin Xi, only touch her when you have truly decided to love her, alright?"

Yang Fan's eyes snapped open, and he reached out to grab Lin Ruo's hand. Lin Ruo's movements paused.

"I want you!" Yang Fan suddenly sat up and pinned Lin Ruo beneath him.

Lin Ruo did not resist, right up until Yang Fan tore her clothes...

At that moment, reason began to reclaim his brain. He did not want to lose Lin Ruo. If he went through with this, Lin Ruo would leave.

"Forget it. I'm sorry!" Yang Fan lay back down in his original spot. Lin Ruo slowly stood up and resumed massaging Yang Fan.

Between them, that chasm could never be crossed!

In an instant, tears surged down.

"Why are you crying?"

"I don't want you to leave!" Yang Fan choked out. In so many, many moments, who could possibly know the depth of his fear?

"I'm not leaving."
