"A big shot?" asked Lu Wen-Jing softly. She was stunned.
Ye Fan nodded.
"That every elite in Jiangdong reveres?' Lu Wen-Jing continued asking. She found it inexplicable.
Ye Fan nodded. Then he sighed and said patiently, "Jingjing, I just want to be low key. Since you're so worried, I have no choice and to be honest."
Lu Wen-Jing. "So are you telling me that you're...Sun Wukong?"
Ye Fan was speechless.
Ye Fan's faced twitched. He didn't expect this to cross her mind.
Was Sun Wukong the most respected big shot in her world?
But before Ye Fan could say more, Lu Wen-Jing sulked and scoffed at Ye Fan angrily, "Humph. Fan, I'm talking about serious things here, but you're joking instead. Do you think I'll believe it if you say that you've superpowers? Do you think I'll believe you if you tell me you're Sun Wukong? I really want to help you, but you...I'm so pissed!" said Lu Wen-Jing with her pretty face flushed from anger as she shook her tiny fists furiously at Ye Fan.
Of course, she wouldn't believe Ye Fan's crap.
If Ye Fan was an important person, then why would Mu-Cheng have to suffer?
If Ye Fan was a big shot, then why would they get chased out of the Qius by her maternal grandfather?
Her uncles and aunts looked down on Ye Fan too.
Despite her tender age, Lu Wen-Jing had grasped the basic logic surrounding the situation. So she could judge for herself.
When she offered to help Ye Fan out of kindness, Lu Wen-Jing didn't expect him to decline. Instead, he actually came up with a lie like this to fool her.
Ye Fan suddenly understood what was going on in her head.
This young lady thought he was pulling her leg, and that he was only teasing her.
Ye Fan instantly smiled bitterly.
Damn, why didn't anyone believe him when he actually spoke the truth?
Then again, it didn't matter. It seemed pretty good to just be a useless coward.
But Ye Fan certainly wasn't going to Jingzhou.
For starters, Ye Fan couldn't lower himself to be a bodyguard. More importantly, he couldn't go because of his wife.
How could a husband not stay with his wife?
So Lu Wen-Jing was unable to persuade Ye Fan in the end.
The sun was setting, and a day had gone by quickly. Then Ye Fan brought Lu Wen-Jing home in the evening.
After all, Lu Wen-Jing's father was coming to pick her up, so Ye Fan couldn't hang out with her until too late.
When they arrived home, Ye Fan found that Qiu Mu-Cheng had already knocked off and was at home. For a workaholic like Qiu Mu-Cheng who did a lot of overtime daily, it was unimaginable that she could be home at around 6PM.
Ye Fan figured that she was home early because Lu Wen-Jing was leaving.
Then Han Li and her husband received a phone call. After they hung up, they started to chase Qiu Mu-Cheng and said, "Hurry up, Mu-Cheng. Your uncle is downstairs. We have to go downstairs to welcome him.”
Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded. She freshened up before going downstairs with her mother.
"You useless coward. Why did you come out? Do you want to embarrass us? Just stay home and cook. Tonight's dinner has to be more sumptuous. It's Mu-Cheng's uncle's first time at our place. So we must host him well," scolded Han Li sternly. Han Li and Qiu Mu-Cheng were about to go downstairs, but when Han Li saw that Ye Fan also wanted to go along, she instantly became furious.
"Mum, how can you do that? Ye Fan is my husband, so it's only right that he comes down to welcome Uncle Ze too." When Ye Fan saw that Qiu Mu-Cheng and Han Li were about to break into a fight again, he quickly held Qiu Mu-Cheng back.
"Mu-Cheng, it's okay. Why don't you go down and welcome him? I won't go. I'm not done cooking yet, and the kitchen can't be left unattended anyway."
Now that their guest was upon their doors, there was no need for these two ladies to quarrel again because of him.
