"So as I said, I'm just making use of Ye Fan. Ye Fan is just a country bumpkin and a useless fellow, so I must be blind if I fall for him. Qianqian, you'd better stay further away from such people. Besides, aren't you really good friends with Mu-Cheng? You'd better tell her to hurry up and divorce this good-for-nothing, otherwise he'd drag her down for the rest of her life," said Yang Qian very seriously to Su Qian.
Of course Su Qian knew nothing about what Yang Qian was plotting and just nodded along in agreement.
"I knew it. How could you like someone like Ye Fan? So that's what your motive is! But Qianny, I don't think it's good for you to do this since it feels like you're cheating others of their feelings. But of course you have the right to do whatever you want, I can't interfere too much. I'll work on persuading Mu-Cheng. She's such a nice girl, so I'm not letting Ye Fan drag her down any longer."
After a chat, they went separate ways.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Lu Wen-Jing
headed home.
But when they walked past a shopping mall, Lu Wen-Jing called out to Ye Fan and made him go in to buy cosmetics with her.
But when an older man like Ye Fan walked into the cosmetics store with a teenaged Lolita, all the passersby started looking strangely at Ye Fan and he felt very uncomfortable.
There were even those who gave Ye Fan a thumbs up and said, "Bro, you're good!"
"But take it slow, Lolitas are great but it starts from three years all the way to the death penalty..."
Ye Fan's expression completely darkened.
Now he knew why those people looked at him so strangely. They must have thought that Lu Wen-Jing was his girlfriend.
But that made sense too. Most girls would buy cosmetics with either their besties or a boyfriend.
"Fan, what does he mean by it starts from three years all the way to the death penalty?" asked Lu Wen-Jing as she didn't understand what was going on at all.
"Nothing, those people were spouting nonsense, just pretend you didn't hear anything. But Jingjing, aren't you a little too mature for your age? You're still so young and you're already using makeup? And you're buying such expensive ones too!" remarked Ye Fan in shock.
Lu Wen-Jing used her pretty eyes to glare back at Ye Fan. "Fan, I just knew you didn't care about Mu-Cheng."
"Did you know that Mu-Cheng has finished using all her makeup a long time ago? I'm buying these for her."
Ye Fan suddenly understood what Lu Wen-Jing was doing and he started to feel guilty inside.
He was Qiu Mu-Cheng's husband, but he wasn't even as considerate as a child.
At night, Lu Wen-Jing secretly placed all these items onto Qiu Mu-Cheng's dresser. She was afraid that Qiu Mu-Cheng would refuse to accept these things, so she didn't tell Qiu Mu-Cheng about them.
When they had dinner, Lu Wen-Jing even stole glances at Qiu Mu-Cheng to see if she had any reaction. She was relieved when she saw that Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like she hadn't discovered the items yet.
Lu Wen-Jing would go home in a few days, so even if Qiu Mu-Cheng discovered them then, she would have no choice but to accept them because Lu Wen-Jing would have returned to Jingzhou by then.
Lu Wen-Jing's home was in Jingzhou and she was on school holidays these few days. That's why she could come over to visit Qiu Mu-Cheng on behalf of her mother.
Before this, Master Qiu had said personally that none of the Qiu family members could have any dealings with Qiu Mu-Cheng's family anymore. So no matter how much Lu Wen-Jing's mother missed Qiu Mu-Cheng and family, she didn't dare to go against her father and could only allow her own daughter to visit them on her behalf.
After dinner, Ye Fan started to clear the table to start washing the dishes.
But for some reason, Lu Wen-Jing insisted on helping Ye Fan with the dishes and got him to teach her how.
"Fan, I'll listen to you. In order to be able to get married in the future, I'm going to learn how to do household chores too. I'll help to bear some of my future husband's burden,” said Lu Wen-Jing as she grinned.
Ye Fan indulgently patted this adorable little young lady on the head.
But before going to bed, Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly called Ye Fan over.
"This is to pay for this month's household expenses. I'm sorry, but there's a bit of a problem in the company and we haven't paid out the salaries yet. I'm not sure what will happen in the future, so save more if you can."
Qiu Mu-Cheng passed some money to Ye Fan.
