Chapter 114: The Contrast of the Young Wife
Yang Fan chuckled as he watched Gao Lanlan, deliberately teasing, "Sister Gao’s remark sounds just like a couple who’ve had a quarrel, being angry that he doesn’t compete."
Gao Lanlan gave Yang Fan a sidelong glance, "What do I have to be angry about his lack of ambition for, don’t you go playing yin-yang with me, buddy."
But faced with Yang Fan’s mocking smile, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
Feigning nonchalance as she toyed with some lollipops on the counter, Gao Lanlan hesitated for a moment before speaking with a sigh, "About him and me, well, it’s all because of a joke, I didn’t expect he would take it seriously. Since that time, he’s been bringing me food every now and then, buying clothes, even gave me a silver bracelet, and then, just like that, you know."
Yang Fan certainly wasn’t interested in digging into the personal matters of the two of them, he was more concerned about whether he could pry open this flirty clam and taste what it was like, but to his surprise, Gao Lanlan actually took the initiative to explain.
"Although Liang Bing has a family, from what you’re saying, he sounds quite romantic," Yang Fan laughed, "Now I’m really curious, Sister Gao, what kind of joke did you make that led to such a big misunderstanding?"
"Oh, that, it was nothing much, I just teased him by saying, I can’t go on like this, let him support me. It was truly just a joke, my life isn’t exactly middle-class, but I’m not going hungry, there’s no need for that," Gao Lanlan explained.
Indeed, Gao Lanlan’s life was quite comfortable; she certainly didn’t need to worry about food and clothing.
But as for the purpose of her remark, whether it was just a joke or something else, probably only she knew.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s go next door," Gao Lanlan said, somewhat embarrassed. She glanced quickly, her words tinged with awkwardness, a far cry from the boldness she demonstrated when texting Yang Fan.
Yang Fan nodded.
