Chapter 533 A Woman's "Quickness"—Those Who Know, Know
Seeing the steaming, exquisitely plated food on the table, and then seeing the man who had just taken off his dark apron and was looking at her with eyes so tender they could melt water, she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness that almost burst from her chest.
The treatment of being personally cooked and carefully fed by a multi-millionaire tycoon gave her a deeper sense of indulgence and satisfaction than receiving mountains of limited-edition bags.
After finishing the meal, Ye Fan elegantly wiped his mouth with a linen napkin, looked at Chen Wanyu, and smiled faintly but undeniably: "Let's go."
"what?"
Chen Wanyu was so engrossed in the comfort of the food that she didn't immediately respond: "Where to?"
All she wants now is to find a comfortable sofa or a big bed and completely sprawl out like a soft pancake.
"Let me take you out for some fresh air and stretch your muscles."
Ye Fan's tone was calm and natural, yet it contained an irresistible doting: "Autumn is here, and the autumn new arrivals at all the major brand counters are probably piled up like mountains. The saleswomen at those luxury stores are bombarding me with messages every day, talking about how many limited editions they've got."
He paused, his tone as casual as if he were talking about buying a cabbage: "I'll take you shopping, clothes, bags, shoes... If you see any sparkly jewelry that suits you," he looked at Chen Wanyu, his eyes full of indulgence, "if you like it, just buy it and take it with you."
Chen Wanyu opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Instantly, the last trace of heavy weariness in her heart vanished, replaced by a joyful excitement overwhelmed by a huge surprise!
What woman could refuse such an invitation?
A gentle sense of compensation also crossed Ye Fan's mind.
Come to think of it, Xu Yunshu and Chen Wanyu actually met first through Chen Wanyu.
However, at that time, her gentle and reserved nature, along with her slightly coy personality, allowed Xu Yunshu, who was fiery and had explosive energy, to seize the initiative.
For so long, he hadn't properly taken her out like this, in such an extravagant way, to enjoy the adrenaline rush of "spending money like water."
Chen Wanyu's legs still lingered with a soreness, and she could even feel a slight, uncontrollable tremor when she walked.
However, as the old adage goes: the desire to shop is a woman's most primal and powerful driving force, aside from her survival instinct.
What's more, Ye Fan, who is usually a strategist and can leverage billions of dollars at a time, actually offered to personally accompany her on a "street tour"!
This kind of royal treatment instantly evaporated all the remaining fatigue.
A strange power welled up from somewhere, and her eyes sparkled as if they had been infused with vitality. Like a joyful little deer, she lightly leaped into Ye Fan's arms, stood on tiptoe, and planted a loud and loving kiss on his sharply defined profile.
"Honey! You're the best!" Her voice was so sweet it could drip honey, brimming with obvious excitement. "Wait for me a minute! I'll put on my makeup and change my clothes, it'll be quick!"
Before she could finish speaking, and before Ye Fan could even respond, she had already vanished into the spacious walk-in closet like a fragrant whirlwind.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of fabric rustling, drawers opening and closing, and bottles and jars moving nimbly across the dressing table filled the air.
Ye Fan leaned against the door frame, listening to the words "soon," a knowing yet slightly helpless smile curving his lips.
As a seasoned "hunter" who knows this all too well, he understands all too well the true meaning behind a woman's "quickly" when preparing for beauty—it usually means at least half an hour of meticulous work to begin.
He stopped waiting and strolled back to the spacious living room, where he smoothly boiled water, warmed the cups, rinsed the tea, and added the tea leaves.
Boiling spring water is poured into a purple clay teapot, stirring up the dark brown Wuyi rock tea.
The rich aroma of cinnamon, combined with a unique caramel sweetness, spreads rapidly through the air like tangible smoke, refreshing and delightful.
Just as Ye Fan was leisurely sipping the first bright orange-yellow tea, feeling the domineering rock flavor melting on his tongue, the screen of his phone on the coffee table silently lit up, accompanied by a short vibration.
A message from Chen Chulin appeared on the screen: "Are you free tomorrow?"
Ye Fan put down his warm teacup, his fingertips dancing lightly and precisely across the screen as he replied: "[It depends. If I have time, I'll let you know in advance.]"
The other person replied almost instantly with a cute "OK" emoji.
Ye Fan understood immediately; he knew without much thought that Chen Chulin had probably finished dealing with the trivial matters at school.
Sure enough, the "quick" makeup that Chen Wanyu had mentioned lasted precisely forty minutes.
When the heavy door to the walk-in closet opened again, a completely refreshed Chen Wanyu finally emerged.
She wore a flawless, almost perfect "no-makeup" makeup look and carefully selected a well-tailored autumn outfit—a soft cashmere sweater that accentuated her slender upper body, paired with high-waisted wide-leg trousers with excellent drape, and topped with a high-quality off-white trench coat.
She possesses a refined and elegant beauty, perfectly blending the unique grace of a flight attendant with the gentle and graceful nature of a woman.
Seeing that the color of the tea in front of Ye Fan had changed from orange-yellow to amber, it was clear that it had been brewed for the third time.
A faint blush rose to her cheeks, and she nervously twisted her slender fingers, playfully sticking out her tongue, her voice tinged with a coquettish tone:
"Honey~ I'm so sorry, I suddenly had a serious case of decision paralysis while picking out clothes, making you wait so long..."
Ye Fan slowly rose, finished the last sip of warm tea in his cup, his eyes showing no impatience, only a warm, sunny smile as he gazed sincerely at her: "It's alright!"
His voice was deep and pleasant: "Beautiful scenery is always worth the wait."
He extended his hand to her, his tone gentle yet firm: "Let's go."
"You're the best, my husband!" These sweet words instantly filled Chen Wanyu's heart with sweetness. She took the opportunity to tightly hold Ye Fan's strong arm, clinging to his side like a little bird seeking comfort, as if drawing strength from him.
The two walked side by side into the bright and clean elevator lobby.
The elevator doors slid open silently and then slowly closed.
The smooth, mirror-like metal door reflected the two figures standing side by side—the man tall and handsome, with an extraordinary air; the woman beautiful and gentle, radiant with charm.
Just as the door was about to close, the reflection was like a meticulously composed artistic photograph, capturing the harmony and beauty of the moment and foreshadowing their upcoming "street sweeping" time.
The door closed completely, leaving only a blurry shadow on the metal surface, leading them to the alluring and bustling world downstairs.
At this moment, Chen Wanyu felt like the luckiest woman in the world, and the man beside her was her most expensive luxury.
