Chapter 2089 - 2085: Used

Ye Fan couldn’t help but embrace Tantai Wanrong, the scene before him was truly exciting for him. He never even dared to imagine that he would win the admiration of this beautiful woman who possessed unsurpassed wisdom and charm.

"Aunt Rong, I can’t quite believe that you would actually accept me? I feel like I must be the happiest man right now!" Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Ye Fan, I don’t think you’re the kind of man who sweet-talks girls. I’ve always found you very attractive, could it be that I’ve misunderstood you?" Tantai Wanrong asked.

Ye Fan replied, "Aunt Rong, how could you have misunderstood me? I’m indeed not the person you described. You should understand, we’ve come to where we are step by step. If I were just a superficial person, I would’ve been rejected by you long ago, not even making it as friends, let alone developing like this!"

Ye Fan was very glad, feeling that Tantai Wanrong accepted him, and he could say that he finally reached the closest point to victory in his relationship with Tantai Wanrong.

But then, Tantai Wanrong said firmly, "Ye Fan, although I said you have indeed won, won my heart and my respect, I’m also sorry that our relationship cannot take the final step, because I said before, I cannot casually accept a man’s love!"

"Aunt Rong, are you still going to reject me at this point? Don’t you think doing so is a bit cruel to me?" Ye Fan sighed.

Tantai Wanrong looked sincerely at Ye Fan and said, "Perhaps doing this may disappoint you, but you need to understand, I am actually being most responsible for our relationship. I can’t allow our relationship to... develop cracks at some point in the future, especially ones that can’t be repaired. Maybe I’m a person without confidence, if I had that confidence, why would I still be single with no qualification to pursue happiness?"

Ye Fan looked at Tantai Wanrong, showing a bit of sadness in his expression. Their relationship developed into being a couple, but just a couple, not taking the final step, and it’s hard to say when they could take that step.

Considering Ye Fan’s current status and position, getting a woman should be an easy task. But Ye Fan felt the seriousness of the issue with Tantai Wanrong; if he couldn’t receive Tantai Wanrong’s temporary allowance, their relationship would remain stagnant until after the tribulation, always at a standstill, which would disappoint Ye Fan.

"Aunt Rong, isn’t there any room for compromise?" Ye Fan asked.

"Ye Fan, actually, waiting until after the tribulation to advance our relationship, wouldn’t that be good? You should understand, our relationship can actually be improved in other ways, why must everything take the final step? We can still be an ordinary couple, why do all men think only when they possess their lover can they truly be a couple?" Tantai Wanrong asked.

The issue at hand wasn’t something Ye Fan could answer, and he found Tantai Wanrong seemed overly stubborn on this matter.

"Alright!" Ye Fan didn’t want to force Tantai Wanrong, finally saying in a very regretful tone, "Since Aunt Rong yourself don’t want to take the final step, I won’t force you, I think I can accept all this!"

"Ye Fan, I’m not discussing with you to make you accept all this, you must accept it. If you don’t, I can’t imagine how we will interact in the future. If you can calmly approach some issues, we can still find common ground, can’t we?" Tantai Wanrong said with relief.

Her relief seemed to come from Ye Fan’s tolerance towards her.

"Hmm." Ye Fan nodded, and at this moment, his eyes carried a gentleness, a gentleness that was the best reward Ye Fan could give to Tantai Wanrong.

"Aunt Rong, then I... won’t disturb you much..." Ye Fan truly didn’t know how to describe his relationship with Tantai Wanrong. When they spent time together, it brought a relative bias—Ye Fan wanted to get Tantai Wanrong to solidify the relationship, while Tantai Wanrong hoped Ye Fan could tolerate her, so they could get along well.

Tantai Wanrong said, "Then Ye Fan, you better go back early, I won’t disturb you much! If you can resolve the tribulation, I believe... I will become the most loyal woman by your side, so please believe me!"

Ye Fan smiled and nodded, "Then I shall await that moment to come. I also hope I can become your pride, Aunt Rong!"

...

...

Just as Ye Fan left Tantai Wanrong’s residence, another woman beside Ye Fan, Mo Xiaoyan, who hadn’t even had any substantial relationship with Ye Fan, was being tormented by Nuwa’s avatar.

Nuwa’s avatar, or rather Nuwa’s resentment, was torturing Mo Xiaoyan with a pain almost like being pulled apart by five horses, forcing Mo Xiaoyan to accept an energy that was infused into her body.

"How terrifying, what is this! Stop...or else I will definitely kill you. If I can’t kill you, my brother-in-law will kill you, you should know how powerful my brother-in-law is!" Mo Xiaoyan threatened.

Nuwa’s avatar appeared dismissive and said, "You mean Ye Fan? Then you’re wrong, Ye Fan holds no threat to me right now, because I am not a corporeal being—you and only you can see me, not even Ye Fan!"

"What do you mean, are you saying you’re a ghost?" Mo Xiaoyan asked.

Nuwa’s avatar said, "If you say so. Maybe you don’t understand, so I’ll explain: if you can become my puppet, I’ll give you supreme power, but you must help me kill Ye Fan..."

"You can forget it, I will never help you kill Ye Fan, because Ye Fan is the man who will help me. You should understand my relationship with Ye Fan will never change because of your appearance, if you continue to pester me, don’t blame me for killing you..." Mo Xiaoyan said arrogantly.

Nuwa’s avatar laughed and said, "Kill me? That’s a joke only you would believe. Actually, your greatest weakness is finding me, and I can also find this ability within you. Maybe I will complete what Nuwa couldn’t, I’ll make you the most dangerous woman by Ye Fan’s side; except for me, no one can give you this kind of glory!"
