Chapter 93 Head of the Family

"Can't there be pure friendship between men and women?"

"..."

At this point, Ning Xi could only use Ye Fan's theory.

Otherwise, knowing her father's personality, Ye Fan's job as a tutor would be over.

"Xiao Xi, you..."

Ning Xiangtian looked at his daughter's serious expression, feeling a headache coming on. He couldn't help but glance at Ye Fan and saw that the boy was staring at him with a smile. This made him even angrier.

"How can there be pure friendship between men and women?"

"You're so beautiful, which boy wouldn't be tempted? Xiao Xi, don't be fooled by someone with ulterior motives!"

"Uncle, you're wrong."

The moment Ning Xi took Ye Fan's hand, he understood what was going on. He was both surprised and amused.

This girl had learned to be cunning. Even he hadn't seen through her little act.

He couldn't just sit back and listen to Ning Xiangtian's insinuations, so he said seriously, "I think Xiao Xi is right. Why can't there be pure friendship between men and women? That's what Xiao Xi and I have!"

"Bullshit!"

Ning Xiangtian couldn't care less about his image now. He said with a frown, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to, boy. I advise you to give up your little schemes. You don't need to be her tutor anymore, just leave!"

"Mom, look at Dad..."

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Ning Xi went to Lan Xi's side, wrapped her arms around her mother, and whispered, "You personally chose Ye Fan as my tutor, how can he be dismissed so easily?"

Ning Xiangtian waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's no use asking your mother, I'm the head of this household, I have the final say."

These words seemed to be directed at Ning Xi, but they were actually meant for Ye Fan, to let him know who was in charge.

Looking at her anxious daughter, then at the calm Ye Fan, Lan Xi's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something. She remained silent for more than ten seconds before a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Xiao Xi."

"Hmm?"

"Take Ye Fan to the study to study. Mom will cook a big meal for you two at noon."

Ning Xi blinked, and then a sweet smile appeared on her face. She stood on tiptoe and kissed her mother on the cheek.

"Thank you, Mom."

After saying that, she even made a face at her frowning father.

Ning Xiangtian: "..."

His face twitched, and he looked at his wife with a bitter smile. "Honey, what are you doing?"

"Head of the household?"

Lan Xi's eyes twinkled, a playful smile on her lips. "How impressive!"

"..."

Seeing that the situation was not in their favor, Ning Xi ran over to Ye Fan and whispered, "Come with me, there's about to be a war here, let's get out of here."

"Okay."

Ye Fan smiled faintly and gave Lan Xi a grateful look.

A hint of a smile appeared on Lan Xi's face, but it instantly vanished when her gaze landed on her husband.

"Mr. Richest Man, let's have a little chat, shall we?"

"..."

Ning Xiangtian shook his head repeatedly and forced a smile. "Honey, what is there to talk about between us?"

"There is!"

Ning Xi's eyes twinkled, and she chuckled softly. "Let's talk about the meaning of 'head of the household.'"

"..."

Ye Fan didn't know what happened afterward in the living room. He followed Ning Xi into the corridor on the left side of the living room, turned two corners, and arrived at the so-called study.

Two magnificent crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. A black rosewood desk with a glass top was placed about four meters to the left of the door. The soft carpet underfoot made one want to calm down.

The moment he entered, Ye Fan's eyes lit up.

So many books!!!

The room was about thirty square meters. Apart from the wall by the door, the other three walls were lined with exquisitely carved bookcases. Through the transparent glass doors, he could see rows upon rows of books.

Roughly estimating, there were at least several thousand books.

Ye Fan clicked his tongue in admiration.

So this was the life of the rich?

Truly simple and unpretentious!

"Whew—"

Ning Xi patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief as if she had just escaped a disaster. She glared at Ye Fan and complained, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't suddenly left, none of this would have happened."

"My bad, my bad."

Ye Fan quickly admitted his mistake, staring at Ning Xi with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Ning Xi shyly turned her head away, her cheeks flushed, and said softly, "W-what are you looking at me for?"

"Xiao Xi, your acting was pretty good just now."

"..."

Ning Xi pouted. "You still have the nerve to ask? Wasn't it all for you?"

Her soft voice was like a melody, reaching Ye Fan's ears. He smiled, genuinely happy.

The next second, he spread his arms towards Ning Xi and said, "To thank Miss Ning for saving my life, come on, give me a hug."

"A... a hug?"

Looking at Ye Fan's sunny smile, Ning Xi's face instantly turned as red as an apple. She quickly lowered her head. "No way..."

Ye Fan shrugged helplessly. He hadn't really expected Ning Xi to agree.

Knowing her personality, unless they were boyfriend and girlfriend, this girl wouldn't accept such an intimate gesture.

The revolution had just begun, he had to work harder!

Ye Fan carried two chairs over to the wooden desk, took out the handwritten test paper he had prepared from the pocket of his suit jacket, and beckoned to Ning Xi, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Come on, let's start studying."

"...Okay."

Ning Xi sat down next to Ye Fan and couldn't help but steal a glance at him. Then, she guiltily turned her head away.

What was she afraid of? This was her house, she could look at him however she wanted! What was he going to do about it!!!

But...

"Xiao Xi, do you have eyes on the back of your head?"

"Huh?"

"Then why are you facing me with the back of your head?"

"..."

Ning Xi turned her head and pretended to be calm. "Are we studying math or physics today?"

Ye Fan pointed to his tie and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xi, how do you think my tie looks? Did I learn your technique well?"

"..."

With that one sentence, Ning Xi's feigned calmness crumbled. The blush on her face deepened, and she lowered her head, her voice soft. "It looks very good."

Unconsciously, the scene from Ye Fan's house after school yesterday flashed through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, until finally, even her earlobes and fair neck were tinged with pink.

Ye Fan leaned closer and blew gently on her earlobe. "You're a good teacher."

His low, magnetic voice, coupled with the faint scent of laundry detergent, made Ning Xi's face burn even hotter. Her blushing cheeks made her look breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, her heart was pounding, her voice filled with nervousness. "C-can we... s-start studying now?"

"Okay."

Ye Fan reached out and stroked Ning Xi's hair, then took out a math test paper and said dotingly, "Here, try doing this test paper first. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."

"...Okay."

Ning Xi didn't mind Ye Fan's actions. She just wanted to quickly end this heart-racing atmosphere.

It was... so strange...
