Chapter 317 The Heavenly Fairy Falls in Love with Me
"What is it?"
In that instant, not only did Zheng Shuheng anticipate eagerly, but even Xu Haoran was waiting for the decision his sister Xu Ruoxuan would make.
Ye Fan stroked his chin, equally curious about whom Xu Ruoxuan would ultimately choose.
"Ruo Xuan, don't hesitate, just say it boldly, is it me you choose? Hahaha..."
Zheng Shuheng laughed confidently as though he was certain Xu Ruoxuan would choose him over Ye Fan, the rough diamond.
Upon hearing Zheng Shuheng's grating laughter, Xu Ruoxuan's beautiful eyes twinkled as she directly said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Zheng, my choice is Mr. Ye!"
What! Xu Ruoxuan was actually going to choose to cooperate with Ye Fan?
Boom!!!
As soon as she spoke, it was as if a bolt from the blue struck Zheng Shuheng, his smile instantly solidifying on his face, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.
"Sis, what did you say? You're going to cooperate with this kid? Are you kidding me?" Xu Haoran called out incredulously.
Xu Haoran didn't know Ye Fan, nor was he aware of Ye Fan's exploits, so in his view, Xu Ruoxuan's decision to cooperate with Ye Fan seemed like sheer folly.
Xu Ruoxuan nodded earnestly, "There's no mistake, I indeed want to cooperate with Mr. Ye! Haoran, I've emphasized to you multiple times before, that one must adhere to the spirit of the contract. Even if the person standing here today wasn't Mr. Ye, but a tenant I didn't know, I would still abide by the spirit of the contract!"
"Sis, have you gone mad?" Xu Haoran couldn't comprehend.
Su Zhanyun exclaimed in shock, "Brother-in-law, did you hear that? Miss Xu has chosen to cooperate with us; my God, this is unbelievable!"
"Mhm!" Ye Fan nodded slightly.
That Xu Ruoxuan would choose to stand by his side, Ye Fan was honestly quite surprised.
You have to understand, he wasn't particularly close with Xu Ruoxuan, and he hadn't done her any favors; Xu Ruoxuan's resolute stand by his side was definitely unexpected.
Zheng Shuheng snapped back to reality, his face contorted as if he had swallowed a lump of excrement, saying, "Ruo Xuan, are you sure you want to cooperate with this youngster?"
"Yes!" Xu Ruoxuan replied without hesitation.
Zheng Shuheng found it hard to accept this reality, his eyes nearly bursting with rage, "Ruo Xuan, are you not afraid of my retaliation? What if I cancel the Jinling cooperation with your Xu Family, have you considered the consequences? I'll give you one more chance to choose, who will it be?"
"Young Master Zheng, I'm sorry, my choice is still Mr. Ye!" Xu Ruoxuan answered without a second thought.
At those words, Zheng Shuheng's face turned deathly pale, and he staggered backward like a defeated cock, completely drained of spirit in an instant.
He could never have dreamed that Xu Ruoxuan, a woman combining beauty with intelligence, would choose to partner with the unsuitable Ye Fan, a blow to his pride.
Staring at the resolute Xu Ruoxuan, Zheng Shuheng's eyes widened as he asked, "Ruo Xuan, why... why would you choose him? You couldn't possibly like him, could you?"
"I like Mr. Ye?" At his words, a blush rose on Xu Ruoxuan's pretty face.
Until now, she hadn't even dated anyone, so when suddenly faced with Zheng Shuheng's accusation of liking Ye Fan, it was natural for Xu Ruoxuan to feel bashful.
In all honesty, at her age, she had never met a man who stirred her heart, but Ye Fan was an exception.
Did her heart flutter for Ye Fan?
No, she wasn't moved!
She simply found Ye Fan mysterious, and she was curious about his true identity.
"Miss Xu likes me?"
Not only was Xu Ruoxuan thrown by Zheng Shuheng's unexpected question, but even Ye Fan was extremely astonished.
At that moment, Ye Fan could only think that Zheng Shuheng must have some serious issue in his brain to ask such a melodramatic question.
Seeing Xu Ruoxuan's face flush with shyness, Zheng Shuheng expressed his shock, "Damn! Ruo Xuan, you really don't like him, do you?"
"Zheng Shuheng, that's enough!" Xu Ruoxuan rebuked with a flushed face and burning ears. Stay connected via empire
"I've had enough? Ruo Xuan, are you actually shouting at me for this kid?"
At that moment, Zheng Shuheng felt as though he had fallen from a pedestal, his face turned even paler.
Xu Ruoxuan frowned and said sternly, "Zheng Shuheng, I warn you, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Ye and I are perfectly clear and above board! I can tell you plainly that Mr. Ye already has a family, and this Su Zhanyun is Mr. Ye's brother-in-law, so please, stop asking such foolish questions!"
"Foolish questions?"
Upon hearing Xu Ruoxuan's response, Zheng Shuheng said with a pale face, "Ruo Xuan, there's no need to explain. I really didn't expect that not only do you fancy this kid, but you also fancy an old man with a family. Am I not better than him?"
"Zheng Shuheng, what on earth are you talking about?" Xu Ruoxuan's face turned even redder.
Xu Ruoxuan, though sharp as a tack, could not handle the embarrassment when Zheng Shuheng forcibly linked her affection to Ye Fan.
Staring at the blush on Xu Ruoxuan's face, Zheng Shuheng said dejectedly, "I see, I finally understand, Ruo Xuan, no need to say more!"
"You don't understand at all!" Xu Ruoxuan's face turned so red it even reached her ears.
Zheng Shuheng chuckled bitterly, "Tsk tsk! I never thought I, Zheng Shuheng, would actually lose to an old man with a family!"
While Zheng Shuheng may not have been as brilliantly intelligent as Xu Ruoxuan, he was also a talented young man, a leading figure among the newer generation.
Just now, Xu Haoran had arrived at the scene to stand by him, forcefully trying to expel Ye Fan and others. Unexpectedly, when it was critical, Xu Ruoxuan arrived and not only made Xu Haoran apologize to Ye Fan but also stood by Ye Fan's side regardless of the consequences. It was clear to any perceptive person that Xu Ruoxuan liked Ye Fan.
"Cough cough, Zhan Yun, do I look like an old man?" Ye Fan was utterly speechless.
While it was true that he was married, he was still young and not yet at the stage of being called an old man, right?
Su Zhanyun did not answer the question and said with a suspicious look, "Brother-in-law, damn, you can't possibly be having an affair with Miss Xu, can you?"
"I'm having an affair with Miss Xu? What brings you to that conclusion?" Ye Fan was baffled.
Su Zhanyun pointed at Xu Ruoxuan and said, "Brother-in-law, look, when this topic comes up, Miss Xu seems very sensitive, which really makes one's imagination run wild!"
Like Zheng Shuheng, he was oblivious to the actual relationship between Ye Fan and Xu Ruoxuan.
In his view, Xu Ruoxuan's arrival helped Ye Fan outright ignore the Zheng family of Jinling, which was quite puzzling.
"Uh!" Ye Fan was taken aback.
He looked at Xu Ruoxuan, whose face was so red it seemed almost ready to drip.
In that moment, staring at the bashful Xu Ruoxuan, Ye Fan got the strange impression that maybe she did have feelings for him.
"Mr. Ye!"
Fearing that Ye Fan might misunderstand, Xu Ruoxuan hastily spoke up.
"Wait a second!"
Seeing Xu Ruoxuan about to speak, Ye Fan also hurriedly said.
Xu Ruoxuan, looking embarrassed, said, "Mr. Ye, what is it? You go first!"
"Well..." Ye Fan hesitated for a moment.
Xu Ruoxuan asked in surprise, "Well what?"
"There's something I'm not sure if I should ask!" Ye Fan blinked.
Xu Ruoxuan widened her beautiful eyes, "Mr. Ye, what is it? Just ask!"
"Then I'll just ask!"
Staring at the celestial-beautiful Xu Ruoxuan, Ye Fan, a straightforward man, directly asked, "Well, Miss Xu, you couldn't possibly really fancy me, could you?"
