36: Chapter 36 Spending the Night at the Li Family's House.

Just as Ye Fan and the others were about to step out of the main gate, they saw Li Chongan supporting a bruised and battered Li Hao, limping their way into the mansion.

The moment the two of them saw Ye Fan, looks of panic appeared on their faces.

They immediately stopped in their tracks and made way for him.

Ye Fan looked at Li Chongan and said slowly, "Hey, you're Li Shiya's father, right?"

"That's right, I am! May I ask if there's something you need?" Li Chongan replied slowly, staring at Ye Fan with extreme caution.

Ye Fan paused for a moment before speaking quickly, "Uh! It's nothing much. I just wanted to inform you that I'm taking your daughter with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Chongan's gaze quickly fell on Li Shiya, who gave him a slow nod.

Only then did Li Chongan nod and say, "You can take my daughter, but you must never bully her."

"Whether I bully her or not is none of your business, and besides, I'm just informing you."

Li Chongan's expression instantly turned sour. He cursed Ye Fan inwardly, thinking that if he weren't unable to defeat him, he would have torn him into ten thousand pieces.

But because of Ye Fan's overwhelming strength, he didn't dare say it out loud. Fearing he would bring more trouble upon himself, he could only swallow his anger and remain silent.

"Let's go! And Li Hao, you'd better remember this. I'm sparing your life this time, but if there's a next time, hmph! You'll find out then..."

Before leaving, Ye Fan didn't forget to nag one last time as a reminder.

But just then.

Li Chongan, looking at Ye Fan and the others who were about to leave, seemed to have a brain cramp and actually called out.

"It's so late now. Why don't you all stay and rest here for the night?"

Hearing this, the ones with the strongest reaction were undoubtedly his son and daughter.

Li Shiya instantly turned around, looking at her father in a daze with a complex expression.

Li Hao, who was being supported by him, was the same, staring blankly at Li Chongan with a face full of shock.

He thought, no way!

Could my old man have been scared stupid by this kid Ye Fan?

Or did I just hear wrong?

At this moment, Ye Fan slowly stopped.

He glanced at the sky outside; it was already starting to get dark.

Looking at the sky, Ye Fan stroked his chin, turned around, and smiled.

"This... this seems doable. In that case, we'll stay here and rest for the night!"

Li Chongan was instantly stunned!

His face was filled with distress.

At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself twice.

He never expected that Ye Fan would agree so readily. This... this was completely illogical!

Ye Fan had just been fighting with his family; no matter what, he shouldn't have agreed!

Deep down, he hated Ye Fan to the core.

What he had just said was merely a habit from his many years in business—just a casual remark.

Who knew that this kid Ye Fan wouldn't play by the rules and would actually agree under these circumstances?

This made things very difficult for him!

Ye Fan looked at the miserable-looking Li Chongan, a cold smile appearing on his face as he asked slowly.

"What? Is the Great Head of the Li Family not welcoming us?"

Li Chongan quickly hid the distress on his face and smiled wryly, "No... no, how could that be? I still have to thank you, little brother, for the kindness of sparing my son's life!"

Then, he quickly instructed Li Shiya, who was beside Ye Fan, "Shiya, I'll leave the arrangements for little brother Ye Fan and the others' accommodations to you. I... I'll take him to tend to his injuries first."

"Ah!"

Li Shiya was snapped back to reality by her father's abrupt instruction. She responded subconsciously, but her gaze shifted between Ye Fan and Li Chongan. She felt that her father's hurried departure seemed a bit like he was fleeing in panic.

Looking at the still-dazed Li Shiya, Ye Fan couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What? Not welcoming me?"

"No... no, of course not!" Li Shiya said quickly.

"Then what are you standing there for? Are you going to make us sleep in the courtyard tonight?" Ye Fan continued to tease.

"Of course not!" Li Shiya immediately became nervous, her cheeks heating up slightly. She hurriedly explained, "The guest rooms at home are all cleaned up. I'll take you there."

Li Shiya led Ye Fan and the others back to the second floor. Stopping in front of three guest rooms, she slowly pushed open the doors and said.

"These three rooms are next to each other for your convenience. You can choose for yourselves."

Su Wanqing looked at the three rooms, pulled on Ji Yuyan's arm, and said slowly, "Sister Yuyan, I'm a bit scared alone. How about the two of us share a room?"

Ji Yuyan said, "Sure! It'll be good for us to look out for each other!"

"Then let's pick this one!" Su Wanqing smiled, pointing to the room in the middle.

"Mhm! I'm fine with either!" Ji Yuyan nodded slowly.

Ye Fan chose the one on the right.

Seeing that they had all chosen their rooms, Li Shiya said, "Since you've all decided, I'll go find some food for you."

Ye Fan nodded, "Mhm, go ahead."

A short while later.

Li Shiya brought a large bag of food and several bottles of mineral water from somewhere and handed them to Ye Fan and the others.

"Oh! I didn't expect your family to actually have some influence. Now that the Apocalypse has arrived, food and water are the most precious resources. I didn't expect you to get so much so easily." Ye Fan said, looking at the food in his hands.

"My family owns some businesses in this industry, so we just happen to have a lot of food stored up," Li Shiya explained.

Then Li Shiya spoke again, "If there's nothing else, you should all rest. I'll be heading down now."

"Mhm, heading down? Where are you going?" Ye Fan spoke up, his face full of a wicked grin. He continued, "How about you keep me company for the night?"

"Ah—!"

The moment Ye Fan's voice fell, the three women cried out simultaneously, looking at him in shock.

"This... this isn't very good, is it?" Li Shiya's face instantly turned red, and she spoke with a slight stutter.

"What's not good about it? Don't you want to make amends for today's events?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

"I..." Li Shiya was silent for a moment before slowly agreeing, "O-okay then!"

Immediately after, Li Shiya looked at Ye Fan with a blushing face and whispered shyly.

"But I have a small request... could you please be gentle? I'm afraid of pain..."

"Heh, that's easy." With a wicked grin, Ye Fan took Li Shiya's hand and led her toward his room.

With a "bang," he locked the door behind them.

"Hmph! That stinky Ye Fan, that dead Ye Fan, he really is despicable!"

At this moment,

Back in her room, Ji Yuyan pouted and angrily hugged the quilt on the bed, hitting it repeatedly.

Using it to vent her emotions!

Beside her, Su Wanqing watched Ji Yuyan's behavior and whispered.

"Sister Yuyan, what's wrong?"

Ji Yuyan turned to look at Su Wanqing, her face instantly breaking into a wide smile as she spoke somewhat sheepishly.

"It's... it's nothing!"
