Chapter 45 - 44 Breakthrough in Relationship
At that moment, Wu Xuefang said, "I’m exasperated with you two. Living together for two months, and you still haven’t crossed that line. Back in my day, your father and I moved much faster than you have."
"Mom, you can’t rush these things! We’re taking it slow!" Fang Nan said helplessly.
What kind of mother asks such intimate questions in front of her daughter’s boyfriend? Fang Nan began to wonder if Wu Xuefang was even her real mom.
Suddenly, Wu Xuefang pointed at Ye Fan and asked, "Is there something wrong with you physically?"
Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of juice and hurriedly said, "Auntie, not at all! I’m in great shape!"
He was speechless. The mighty King of Heaven was exceptional in all respects, especially his physical condition. He was a living legend, famous for having gone thirteen times in one night. And now, he was even stronger.
Fang Nan was dying of embarrassment and hardly knew what to do.
Wu Xuefang said, "Since you’re in great shape, you should hurry up! You’re not getting any younger. If you don’t take that final step, your relationship will definitely run into problems!"
"Auntie, I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best!"
Facing such a difficult mother-in-law, Ye Fan felt like he was falling apart. Wu Xuefang didn’t play by the rules, rendering all of his prepared responses completely useless.
He just wanted to scream, ’What am I supposed to do? I’m desperate here!’
"I have a bad feeling all of a sudden," Wu Xuefang said abruptly.
"What feeling?" Fang Nan asked, puzzled.
She continued, "I’m starting to doubt whether you two are really a couple."
"Mom, we really are a couple!" Fang Nan insisted.
Ye Fan also chimed in to placate her. What a shrewd mother-in-law, she had almost seen right through them. In truth, Ye Fan and Fang Nan weren’t really a couple. After all, their relationship was just too bizarre to comprehend.
"I don’t believe you," Wu Xuefang said flatly.
"Mom, you can ask Grandpa about it! He can vouch for us!" Left with no other choice, Fang Nan played her trump card.
At that, Wu Xuefang said, "If you’re really a couple, then prove it to me!"
"How do we prove it?" Fang Nan asked, confused.
"Do I really need to spell it out for you?" Wu Xuefang said. "Send me some intimate photos of you two. Otherwise, I’ll tell your dad and have him deal with you!"
With that, Wu Xuefang turned and walked away, leaving Fang Nan and Ye Fan reeling.
Back at home, Fang Nan paced anxiously. "What do we do? What do we do?"
"We’ll have to take it as it comes," Ye Fan said profoundly.
Just then, Fang Nan’s gaze locked onto Ye Fan.
"What are you planning?" Ye Fan asked. He had no idea what she was thinking.
"Take off your clothes!" she ordered.
"You can’t be serious! Right now?" Ye Fan asked warily, feigning shock.
"Of course, right now! Hurry up!" Fang Nan said, speechless.
Ye Fan replied innocently, "Alright, but you should draw the curtains first. This is kind of thrilling!"
"What are you thinking about? I need to take some intimate photos! Come on, to the bedroom! We have to deal with my mom, or she’ll kill me!"
Fang Nan grabbed Ye Fan and pulled him into the bedroom. Throughout the whole ordeal, he was completely passive. He held her close, and they started taking selfies.
"Closer, get closer!" Fang Nan urged.
Ye Fan was speechless. If he got any closer, he was afraid he might actually break the law.
They finally got the shot.
Fang Nan looked at the photo and said, "It’s intimate, but it looks a bit unnatural. Come on, take off your shirt."
Ye Fan followed the order.
Lying on the bed together, they looked incredibly close. A fire ignited inside Ye Fan. If he didn’t get it under control, things could get dangerous.
"This is much better!" Fang Nan knew this photo would be far more convincing. At least, she thought so.
She found herself staring in a daze at Ye Fan’s chiseled muscles.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Fan asked.
"I have a bold idea," Fang Nan declared.
"What kind of bold idea?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled. He had to admit, he could never predict Fang Nan’s train of thought.
"Let’s make this act real," Fang Nan said.
"We shouldn’t! I’m already spoken for! You can’t do this!"
In truth, Ye Fan desperately wanted to, but it was impossible. Once he crossed that line with Fang Nan, he would have to take full responsibility. Given her family background, she might accept his identity as the King of Heaven, but she would never accept that he was engaged to another woman. In the end, it would only break her heart. For that reason, he had to refuse.
"I should go. I’ll see you tomorrow," Ye Fan said hastily. If he stayed any longer, his rational thoughts would vanish. He feared he wouldn’t be able to resist taking the initiative, and then he’d truly be done for.
But Fang Nan grabbed him, her expression darkening. "If you dare to leave, I’ll accuse you of molesting me."
"You... you can’t be such a scoundrel!"
Ye Fan was at a loss for words. Who was taking advantage of whom here? A person should have some decency!
"I don’t care," Fang Nan said. "Right now, I call the shots. Lie down!"
Of course, Fang Nan had her own agenda. She was competing with Su Qingxue, and in this respect, she couldn’t afford to fall behind. If she could conquer Ye Fan now, she would seize the upper hand. So, in that moment, she threw all caution to the wind.
Then, she leaned in and kissed him passionately.
Ye Fan’s first instinct was to refuse, but if he pushed her away now, could he still call himself a man? And so, he switched from passive to active.
The room was thick with a sensual atmosphere. The two of them, caught in a fiery passion, felt their minds go blank, as if possessed by some external force.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Fang Nan. In that instant, she knew she had given everything to the man she loved most.
Ye Fan became much gentler.
When it was all over, the sun was already rising on a new day. It had to be said, Ye Fan’s stamina was incredible.
Fang Nan was too exhausted to even get up.
"Darling," she whispered, "carry me."
"Okay."
As Ye Fan lifted her into his arms, he saw the plum-blossom-like stains of red on the bedsheets. There was no doubt they had truly turned their act into reality.
Ye Fan spent the entire day with Fang Nan, who lay blissfully in his arms.
In the afternoon, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"That’s strange. I don’t know anyone around here," Fang Nan said, puzzled.
"Maybe it’s a delivery," Ye Fan said. "I’ll get it!"
However, the moment he opened the door, Ye Fan froze. The visitors were Su Qingxue and Alice.
