Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 259 This morning's tutoring class is canceled.

"I'm late! It's already past eleven! I have to hurry to work!" Miao Zi said without turning her head, bending down to pick up the lace underwear that had fallen on the bench at the foot of the bed, her movements hurried.

Ye Fan chuckled helplessly, "Are you out of your mind? If we're talking about the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, you're my personal secretary. Being on call 24/7 is your job. How can you be late?"

Miao Zi froze instantly, the underwear she had picked up hanging in mid-air.

She blinked, and a few seconds later, as if she had been awakened, she let out a long, slightly annoyed "Ah," and her tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

Yes, her core job is to serve this important client well. Bank card payments? That's something for ordinary employees.

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat exhausted, and sat back down on the edge of the bed, rubbing her still dazed temples.

Just then, she felt a burning gaze.

She looked up and met Ye Fan's deep, smiling eyes, his gaze lingering unabashedly on her body, which was only dressed in underwear and showed off her curves.

The crazy scenes from last night instantly flooded her mind, and Miao Zi's cheeks flushed bright red, even her small earlobes turned pink.

She grabbed a pillow in embarrassment and anger, pretending to throw it at Ye Fan: "It's all your fault! We clearly agreed yesterday that we were going to discuss economic issues, that's why I stayed! But...but..."

She bit her lower lip lightly, her voice trailing off: "You're such a liar!"

Ye Fan smoothly pulled her into his arms.

The warm, soft flesh embraced me, carrying the sweet fragrance of the morning.

He lowered his head, his nose brushing against her burning earlobe, his deep voice laced with amusement and matter-of-fact: "A business deal worth billions, isn't that the most important economic issue? Where did I lie to you? Hmm?"

Miao Zi's face turned even redder, like a ripe peach.

How could she not know why Ye Fan had kept her here last night? It's just that no one had revealed it!

At this time, most girls will appear shy and embarrassed. Boys usually only need to give them a way out, and they will readily accept it.

It's just my inner pride acting up right now!

In situations like this, guys shouldn't ask directly and put things on the table, otherwise they might just lose what they've got.

Looking at her flushed face and hesitant expression, Ye Fan's smile deepened.

His long, slender fingers picked up a stray strand of her hair, twirling and playing with it. His voice lowered, tinged with a hint of lingering pleasure and teasing: "Manager Miao, judging from your performance yesterday, I've noticed a serious lack of knowledge about economic reserves. Since we have some free time now, shall I give you a good review to solidify those 'core knowledge points'?"

Yesterday, Ye Fan had a three-hour-long exchange on economic issues with Miao Zi. He discovered that Miao Zi was a novice with no practical experience, and her knowledge was basically limited to the theoretical stage.

This prevented Ye Fan from truly answering her questions; instead, he taught her some practical knowledge.

Now that I've woken up, I naturally need to review properly.

Miao Zi trembled as the heart-pounding, exhausting learning process of the previous night flashed before her eyes, the memory deep within her body making her legs feel weak.

Miao Zi immediately begged for mercy, her face flushed, "Ye Fan... please... consolidating knowledge takes time. You taught me so much yesterday, I haven't even finished digesting it yet. Besides, I really need to go to the branch this afternoon to handle some documents. If you... teach a class again now, I really won't be able to work this afternoon!"

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry.

Looking at her pitiful yet earnest explanation, Ye Fan felt as if his heart had been gently tickled by a feather.

He understood the importance of knowing when to stop; the door had already been opened, and there was plenty of time ahead.

He chuckled softly and planted a soothing kiss on her smooth forehead: "Alright, considering your attitude towards studying is quite good, I'll cancel your tutoring class this morning. But you'll have to make up for the homework you owe next time, doubling the amount."

He released her and stretched lazily.

Miao Zi felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly got up, put on her bathrobe, and ran into the bathroom to wash up.

Ye Fan leaned against the headboard, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, a smile lingering on his lips.

After resting for a while, Miao Zi changed into a comfortable set of loungewear that she had previously placed in Ye Fan's walk-in closet. She loosely tied her long hair into a playful bun, with a few strands of hair falling beside her cheeks, adding to her gentle and graceful appearance.

She walked into the open kitchen with practiced ease.

The huge double-door refrigerator was crammed with all sorts of fresh ingredients—all of which she had regularly stocked up on.

She opened the refrigerator door and saw that it was neat and tidy inside, with almost no signs of being touched.

Miao Zi was not surprised by this, but shook her head helplessly.

She skillfully tied on her apron and took out fresh shrimp, squid, seasonal vegetables, and Fujian specialties such as red fermented rice and dried clams.

Soon, the rhythmic sounds of chopping vegetables and sizzling ingredients hitting the pan filled the kitchen, and an enticing aroma gradually spread.

More than half an hour later.

Ye Fan sat at the spacious dining table, where several delicious-looking dishes were already laid out.

The fresh shrimp stir-fried with red yeast rice have an enticing glossy sheen, while the steamed yellow croaker is drizzled with hot oil and scallions, exuding its purest sweetness. A plate of stir-fried bright green vegetables garnishes the dish, along with a bowl of hearty and steaming hot Fujian-style seafood braised noodles.

Rice was served to Ye Fan, and chopsticks were placed aside.

Ye Fan picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth. The fish was white and tender, cooked to perfection, and the aroma of scallions released by the hot oil perfectly complemented the fish's freshness.

His eyes lit up slightly, and he praised, "It tastes very good."

Miao Zi is also from Fujian Province, so she naturally cooks Fujian cuisine, which is also what Ye Fan likes to eat.

Miao Zi took off her apron, wiped her hands clean, and instead of sitting opposite Ye Fan, she naturally nestled in the chair next to him.

She didn't touch her chopsticks to eat; instead, she reached out and picked up the biggest and plumpest shrimp from the dish of red fermented shrimp.

Ye Fan looked at her with some surprise.

Miao Zi lowered her eyes, focused intently, and deftly peeled the shrimp shells with her slender, fair fingers, carefully separating the shrimp heads cleanly.

Her movements were skillful and gentle, as if she were performing a very important task.

In no time, a whole, pink and tempting shrimp meat was peeled out.

She picked up the shrimp meat and, naturally and with a hint of intimacy, gently brought it to Ye Fan's lips, her voice soft: "Try this. I added extra red yeast rice to see if it suits your taste."

She didn't look Ye Fan in the eye the whole time, but her focused movements and the shrimp meat she brought to her mouth conveyed her feelings more clearly than any words.
