Chapter 103: Let's Just Settle It with Rock-Paper-Scissors!

“I actually wanted to conduct an experiment!” Yang Fan said.

“What kind of experiment?”

“I just want to see whether you can resist my temptation, for instance…”

Lin Ruo slapped him, saying, “I knew you were scheming! Is my body really so alluring that you’re fixated on having it? You even racked your brains for it!”

“No, I just want to see if you’re qualified to be my teacher. Think about it. When your female master trained you all, a man touching you and a woman touching you—those sensations must be different!”

“Get lost!”

Lin Ruo stormed off in anger. Yang Fan muttered, “You’re afraid of temptation too!”

Satisfied, he went to sleep and didn’t wake until the next morning.

The following day, Ai Xiaomei returned early, and Yang Fan was woken by her. She jumped onto his bed, treating it like a trampoline.

“Get down!” Yang Fan glared at her.

“I want to jump! I want to jump!”

“Jump on your own, then!” Yang Fan flung off the covers, dressed, and left the bedroom. Lin Ruo and Lin Xi’s rooms were empty.

Xu Zihan was washing up in the bathroom.

“Where are Lin Ruo and Lin Xi?” Yang Fan asked.

“We don’t know. When Xiaomei and I got back, they were already gone,” Xu Zihan replied, brushing her teeth.

Yang Fan paused and called Lin Ruo. Upon learning that Lin Ruo and Lin Xi were on their way back to Tianning, he sighed. They didn’t even bring him along!

“Isn’t it nice to have no one watching over you? We’ll be back tonight,” Lin Ruo said, then hung up.

“Where are they?” Xu Zihan came out and asked.

“They went to Tianning for some errands,” Yang Fan replied.

Finding jumping alone boring, Ai Xiaomei got off the bed.

“Why can’t you settle down this early in the morning?” Yang Fan said.

“It’s because you’re so lazy!”

“I’m lazy? Who’s the one with two dogs who barely move when you put them on the floor? Clearly, that says a lot about you.”

“Hmph, just you wait!”

Yang Fan shrugged. I am waiting.

“By the way, Yang Fan, they’re calling you over for breakfast,” Xu Zihan said.

“Have you eaten?”

“I have. Xiaomei hasn’t.”

Yang Fan grabbed Ai Xiaomei. That’s what you get for skipping meals.

“Why are you dragging me?”

“Go eat!” Yang Fan pulled her out the door.

At the dining area, Ai Xiaomei’s two dogs were gnawing on drumsticks. Their food was even better than the humans', which explained their laziness.

In the restaurant, Ye Bing had already become acquainted with everyone after a morning of conversation. In fact, Ye Bing had met them before—on New Year's Day, when Yang Fan was left alone at home, they had all come to the resort.

“Yang Fan!” Ye Bing called.

“Big Sister Bing!”

Truthfully, Ye Bing wasn’t older than him, but the nickname stuck. Someday, she’d be his sister-in-law, too.

Looking at the others, Wu Qian and Xia Yufei seemed excited. Their personalities were similar to Lin Xi’s—kind to themselves.

Wang Yun was a mirror image of Lin Ruo: rolling her eyes, kicking here and there, while Zhao Jing was another story entirely!

“Without us last night, did you go and charm more little admirers?” Zhao Jing laughed.

“Would I dare?”

“Is there anything you wouldn’t dare?” Wang Yun chimed in.

“My wife is the most obedient,” Yang Fan said.

He was touched; Yufei really treated him well.

Ye Bing was embarrassed, and even Xiao Yu and An Lan standing nearby felt overwhelmed. Was their best friend now a lover, or was she the main wife and the others just concubines?

Still, how could the main wife and concubines get along so well?

“Yufei, stop defending him. You know what he’s like!”

“A scoundrel!” Ai Xiaomei replied, teasing her dogs.

“Come here, behave!”

Seeing Ai Xiaomei about to run, Yang Fan pulled her back. That’s what you get for badmouthing me.

“I’m not eating!”

“No, you have to eat!”

If he couldn’t control the others, at least he could control her.

“I won’t eat! I won’t eat!”

Amid lively chatter and Yang Fan’s playful mock trial, breakfast went on.

“Sister Bing, where are the others?”

“Hao Yu, Zhang Chen, and Xu Tao haven’t gotten up yet. The rest left early to survey some projects,” Ye Bing replied.

Yang Fan nodded. “Let them sleep. They probably didn’t behave themselves last night.”

“You think everyone’s like you?”

After breakfast, the girls went off to play again, leaving Yang Fan behind. The excuse was that certain matters were inconvenient with a boy present.

Yang Fan felt even less important than Ai Xiaomei’s two dogs.

Ai Xiaomei stood in the parking lot, lost in thought for ages, pondering something.

“Xiaomei, get in the car!”

Ai Xiaomei happily hopped in.

“But Yun’er, didn’t we agree yesterday to meet someone today?”

“Go on your own. You know them. If you didn’t, my two best friends are right here.”

“Guard against fire, theft, and best friends, huh?” Yang Fan quickly interjected.

“No worries. If my friend wants you, I’ll give you to her! After all, if I leave you, I can find someone better!”

Yang Fan’s eyes widened. After just one day, had their marriage already entered the love-hate phase?

He watched as they went off to play, sighing heavily.

“Husband!”

Everyone was speechless. There was another one—Zhao Mengnan, who called Yang Fan “husband.”

“Don’t call me that!”

“I’m not making it up. Didn’t you keep me? With Yufei gone, it’s perfect. Come with me, I have something to say to you!”

“Where to?” Yang Fan was exasperated.

“I live over there, alone.”

Xiao Yu and An Lan nearly fainted. If you’re going to do something, at least wait until nightfall!

Zhao Mengnan finally dragged Yang Fan into her apartment—not Sea View Garden, but the Couple’s Apartment where all the agents and directors from Fanmei Films and Jingtian Films stayed.

Zhao Mengnan, thanks to her special relationship with Xia Yufei—well, mainly with Yang Fan—had her own room.

“What do you want? I have things to do,” Yang Fan said gloomily. Do you know what a pure kept relationship is? That’s what he and Zhao Mengnan had. Whenever they stayed together, they either played cards all night or guessed games.

“It’ll be quick, really!”

“What?”

“Let’s play a guessing game!”

“Again? Can’t we do something different?”

“Sure! I’m yours. Whatever you want, we’ll do. Should we go to the bedroom, or stay here?”

Yang Fan knocked Zhao Mengnan on the head. “Let’s just play the guessing game.”
