Chapter 159 Love Starts with Curiosity_1
âAlright,â Xu Fan agreed, thinking to himself, You think I want to tell stories? Iâm just being coerced by this little ancestor because I have no other choice. I have to use my own experiences to make up the numbers.
âIs Tongtong sleeping soundly?â Xu Yixue asked worriedly, glancing at Tongtongâs small bed before turning to Xu Fan.
âDonât worry, sheâs out like a light,â Xu Fan replied softly as he gently draped a pink blanket embroidered with haloKT over Tongtong.
âThen you should come out too. Iâve already prepared a room for you,â Xu Yixue said indifferently.
âActually, I could go back home,â Xu Fan responded quietly. He knew Xu Yixue wasnât keen on having him stay over, so he didnât want to impose.
âIf youâre staying, then just stay. Itâs no big deal. If Tongtong wakes up tomorrow and doesnât see you, I wonât be able to handle her alone,â Xu Yixue said, looking at the small princess on the bed with some concern.
âAlright then!â Xu Fan gently closed the door to Tongtongâs bedroom and followed Xu Yixue to another room.
Xu Yixueâs apartment originally had a three-bedroom, two-living-room layout, with Xu Yixue, Ye Xiaoning, and Tongtong each occupying a bedroom. However, there wasnât an easy way to arrange things after Xu Fanâs arrival.
âI can just sleep on the living room sofa,â Xu Fan said lightly.
âNo need, sleep in my room instead. My room connects to Tongtongâs. If anything happens at night, youâll be able to look after her. Xiao Ning and I will share a room,â Xu Yixue said, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She had indeed planned to have Xu Fan sleep in the living room, but remembering how he stood in front of her in the afternoon, facing over a dozen thugs alone, Xu Yixue felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, Xu Fan had saved her life, not only blocking the thugs Cai Xiangdong had sent but also exposing the shameless scoundrel in gentlemanâs clothing beside her. She felt that if she let Xu Fan just sleep in the living room, she would appear ungrateful and unappreciative.
So Xu Yixue packed up her belongings a bit and let Xu Fan have her room, opting to squeeze in with Ye Xiaoning instead.
âStay in your room? Isnât that a bit inappropriate?â Xu Fan asked, somewhat surprised.
Later on, after arriving in Zhonghai, Xu Yixue saw that Xu Fan had become a hopeless drunkard due to a family tragedy, sinking her opinion of him to rock bottom. It was only because she couldnât withstand her daughterâs requests that she agreed to let her have a few days with her biological father.
But within those few days, Xu Fan changed as if he was reborn, becoming completely different â his miraculous medical skills, extraordinary martial arts, and various unimaginable superpowers, each and every one shocked Xu Yixueâs heart.
Especially the way Xu Fan cherished Tongtong as if she were his own, almost made Xu Yixue feel that he was simply the best father in the world.
It was through these bits and pieces, these events, that Xu Yixueâs feelings for Xu Fan gradually transformed.
Although Xu Fan was an arrogant straight man who loved to boast, when it really came down to it, he always showed up in front of her with overwhelming authority, keeping all the danger at bay.
Thatâs what a man should do, right? If Xu Fan had been like this all along, maybe the three of us would have already been living together happily by now.
Thinking about this, Xu Yixueâs face started to turn red.
âYixue, why is your face all red? Come on, tell me, are you thinking about Xu Fan right now?â Ye Xiaoning, seeing Xu Yixueâs flushed face, gently pinned her down and started tickling her.
âHahaha...â Xu Yixue shook uncontrollably with laughter from being tickled by Ye Xiaoning, extremely ticklish by nature; she almost fell off the bed.
âIâll tell, Iâll tell... Ah hahaha... Stop it, enough...â Xu Yixue laughed until she was nearly in tears, urgently begging Ye Xiaoning for mercy.
Even though Xu Yixue was Ye Xiaoningâs boss at the company, at home, they were as close as sisters.
âJust now, I really was thinking about him, but I was wondering why he has changed so much,â Xu Yixue confessed to Ye Xiaoning.
âYixue, youâre beyond help,â Ye Xiaoning said to Xu Yixue, emphasizing every word.
âWhy? How am I beyond help?â Xu Yixue was confused by Ye Xiaoningâs cryptic words.
âThey say that liking someone starts with curiosity. Youâve already begun to be curious about Xu Fan; how far can your fall be?â
