Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Confirming Intentions_1

In Xu Yixue’s office, two women were in the midst of a serious conversation, completely unaware that Xu Fan had opened the door. However, Tongtong was the first to notice and couldn’t help but smile with her clear eyes. Snuggling in Xu Yixue’s embrace, she stretched out her arms toward Xu Fan, calling out in a babyish voice, “Daddy, Daddy.”

Xu Yixue quickly looked up and met Xu Fan’s gaze. Staring at him, her eyes became somewhat moist, uncertain if it was from grievance or joy.

She stared blankly as Xu Fan slowly walked towards her, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to do. Her pretty face flushed red, she seemed quite shy.

After this incident, she could no longer evade her inner feelings.

Upon reflection, she undoubtedly had developed romantic feelings for Xu Fan, but as their relationship hadn’t been formally acknowledged, she wasn’t sure how to face him.

In this incident, Xu Fan had been willing to trigger an earthquake throughout Zhonghai City for her sake.

And she, upon first hearing the news about Xu Fan, was inexplicably thrown into emotional chaos and lost all rationality.

Thankfully, Chen Shiyu was by her side, constantly calming her agitated thoughts, otherwise, she would not have been able to make those resolute decisions afterwards.

Afterwards, Xu Yixue realized that there was something wrong with her state of mind, and recognized that Xu Fan was undoubtedly the most important person in her life; she cared about him, cherished him, and even had a deep fondness for him.

What does this mean?

Could it be love?!

Seeing Xu Yixue with eyes brimming with tears looking at him, Xu Fan’s heart trembled. He felt as if his nearly withered old heart had been struck by lightning, revitalized and sprouting anew.

Anyhow, this feeling was both wonderful and mysterious.

He also felt somewhat uncomfortable—himself, an old monster of several thousand years, had been captivated by a regular girl, experiencing the heart-throbbing sensation often felt by young men when meeting a beautiful girl for the first time.

This feeling was so strange!

If before Xu Fan had some reservations about Xu Yixue, not daring to clearly express his feelings because he couldn’t be sure if she genuinely cared about him or if it was just because of Tongtong, now, at this moment, Xu Fan was absolutely certain of Xu Yixue’s affection for him.

As for himself, he had grown accustomed to a life with Xu Yixue, wanting to protect her, to give her happiness and tenderness.

Xu Yixue and Tongtong, both were indispensable in his life this time around; one became the lady of the house, the other, his lover from a past life.

Is it not said that a daughter is her daddy’s lover from a past life?

Well… Xu Fan looked at Xu Yixue and couldn’t help but pause, his eyes filling tenderly with deep affection.

“Um… my parcel has arrived, and I’ll go ask about the progress of the matter,” said Chen Shiyu, feeling somewhat awkward as she had suddenly become like a glaringly bright third wheel. Decisive, she concocted an excuse to leave. On her way out, she also gave Xu Fan a harsh glare with her eyes.

Xu Fan was a little speechless, unable to understand why the goddess star always had a sour look for him.

Chen Shiyu’s departure gave Xu Fan, his wife, and his daughter some private space.

Tongtong struggled to get out of Xu Yixue’s arms, clumsily landed on the floor, and then as usual, toddled with her short little legs, her chubby arms outstretched, running towards Xu Fan.

“Daddy…”

As soon as Tongtong entered Xu Fan’s embrace, she climbed up and Xu Fan, laughing with joy, held her as she planted two kisses on his face.

Xu Fan also affectionately kissed Tongtong’s cheeks, then approached Xu Yixue, looked down into her eyes filled with tenderness, and said, “I’m back.”

It was a simple phrase, but when Xu Yixue heard it, she felt an inexplicable stirring, her body trembled slightly, and a tear glistened as it slid down the corner of her eye.

Xu Yixue quickly turned half away and briskly wiped her face with her hand, looking at the bookshelf, biting her lip, and forcibly controlling her emotions as she spoke with a cold voice, “I thought you didn’t want to come back at all.”

“…”

Xu Fan was stunned and a bit taken aback.

Although he had lived for over three thousand years, experienced the height of splendor, and seen countless things, he had no idea how to coax a girl.

Because he simply didn’t understand the thoughts of girls, he was a bona fide tactless man. Seeing Xu Yixue’s demeanor, he was naturally confused.

“Xue’er, I…” Xu Fan’s face showed anxiety, desperately searching through his past memories, but to no avail, not even a bad idea came up.

Tongtong glanced back and forth between the two adults, his large eyes whirling around, and he actually figured something out. He hurriedly brought his little head close to Xu Fan’s ear and whispered softly, “Daddy, Mommy is angry. You have to go and coax Mommy, say some sweet nothings.”

Xu Fan had an instant epiphany and immediately rewarded Tongtong with a kiss.

However, when he was ready to soothe her, he found that he simply didn’t have a reserve of the required vocabulary and sincerely felt at a loss for words.

“That’s not right… girls love beauty!”

Xu Fan had a brainwave; all girls liked to be complimented on their looks, so as long as he focused on that aspect, he was sure to be onto something.

With a plan in mind, Xu Fan hurriedly approached Xu Yixue, pretended to size her up for a long time, and only when he had made her face blush did he say, “Xue’er, you look really pretty today…”

Did this guy finally get a clue?

He’s complimenting me!

Xu Yixue’s mood instantly turned sweet.

Indeed, a woman’s mood always improves when praised by someone they fancy, just like a rainbow after the rain.

Xu Yixue couldn’t escape this irresistible rule either, but she was still somewhat unsatisfied, so she frowned and interrupted with a cold face, “Where do I look good?”

Xu Fan was waiting for just that question, thinking to himself that women are all the same and he, Xu Fan, could handle them. He began praising earnestly, “Xue’er’s eyes are bright and pure, one can see they’re full of spiritual energy…”

He went from praising her eyes… to her nose… to her ears, hair, neck, almost getting to the point of praising those jade peaks.

Xu Yixue grew a bit anxious, daring not to let him continue, and interrupted him with a cold humph.

Xu Fan laughed and said, “Xue’er, why do you get scared at the crucial moment?”

“Shameless!” Xu Yixue’s face turned red as a large apple, and she said through gritted teeth with loathing.

“This is shameless? I haven’t even started, babe,” Xu Fan chuckled mischievously, his eyes roaming over Xu Yixue’s body, and he deliberately licked his lips.

Seeing his rascal-like appearance, Xu Yixue became flustered, feeling a bit nervous inside, and glaring fiercely, she said, “How dare you, Big Bad Wolf, I hate you.”

After speaking, Xu Yixue hurriedly stood up, pushed Xu Fan away, and ran out of the office.

Xu Fan’s unabashed attitude made her feel sweet, but she also felt the need to cool down.

Seeing this, Xu Fan touched his nose. Could it be he said something wrong?

But on reflection, aside from maybe being a bit too pleased with himself, he couldn’t find any mistakes.

Could it have been that his attitude was too frivolous?

It really puzzled him, but he decided if he couldn’t figure it out, there was no use in dwelling on it.

As the old saying goes, you should never guess a woman’s thoughts…

Because—you will never guess right.

“Daddy… Mommy seems even angrier now,” Tongtong giggled.

Xu Fan smiled helplessly at Tongtong and made up his mind that when he had the time, he really should learn more about this.

Sitting on the sofa, lying back in total relaxation, Xu Fan let his mind wander…

Soon, an idea sprung up in his mind, becoming stronger and stronger, feeling an urgent impulse to act upon it.

This feeling was like the excitement he felt in his previous life when he had obtained a chance for cultivation, wishing he could start cultivating immediately…

However, he still suppressed this eager thought.

Because acting rashly might botch things up. It was better to plan things methodically and prepare thoroughly before starting.

Right… don’t rush.

Steady your development, and you’re sure to win.
