After Ye Tian Xie was gone, Lin Fan wasn’t free to do what he wanted yet.
There were still some other people that he had to convince before the day was over.
So before anything else happened, he was pulled back into the same familiar room and surrounded by the girls. They all looked at him with looks on their faces as if they were telling him to spill his guts already.
Lin Fan had a bitter look on his face, but he didn’t say anything since he didn’t know what they wanted to hear.
At the same time, there was something that he was thinking about that distracted him even though he was surrounded by the girls like this.
He was pulled out of his thoughts in the end by Yue Lan’s voice.
“Well, what happened?”
She didn’t waste any words as she directly asked him this question.
After being pulled out of his thoughts, Lin Fan looked at them and gave a sigh.
To their surprise, he actually didn’t answer.
Normally, when they asked him questions like this, he would answer them to the best of his abilities. But this time, it seemed like he was planning on keeping it a secret from them with the way that he was acting.
That just filled them with suspicion.
Mu Bao Bao looked like she wanted to do something, but Yue Lan raised her hand to stop her before looking at her to shake her head as if she was telling her to wait. After that, Yue Lan turned back to look at Lin Fan as if she was waiting for him to speak.
Lin Fan just remained silent for a while before suddenly looking up and asking, “What do you think about marriage?”
“Huh?” All of them said in a confused voice before blushes appeared on their faces.
Never in their wildest imaginations would they have thought that Lin Fan would suddenly bring up marriage like this.
However, after taking a moment to calm down, Yue Lan asked, “What do you mean by this?”
Lin Fan looked right at her to say, “I’m talking about us getting married.”
If they thought that they had misunderstood him before, there was no way of thinking this now that he had made it clear what he was talking about. They all looked at him with shocked looks as if they couldn’t believe what he was saying.
Lin Fan just looked at all of them with a calm look on his face as he waited for their reaction.
After a long silence, Yue Lan finally bit her lip and said in a soft voice, “You’re not joking right?”
The way that she said this was completely different from the way that she spoke normally.
The way that she said this was like a young girl who was in love.
None of the others seemed to care about this and didn’t even flinch when they heard Yue Lan talking like this. Instead, they just looked at Lin Fan as they waited for his answer.
Lin Fan swept his gaze over them before slowly giving a nod.
At this, all of them suddenly felt that something was off.
They had dropped subtle hints about this before, but it was like Lin Fan was deadly allergic to this matter with how he had tried to ignore talking about this issue.
It had reached the point where some of them had been fed up with him and dropped it, but that didn’t mean that they had given up hope that he might bring this up one day.
But for him to bring this matter up all of a sudden was just too strange for them.
The way that he suddenly brought this matter up made them feel as if something was wrong, which was why they couldn’t help knitting their brows when they heard what he said.
Lin Fan could naturally guess what they were thinking, but he didn’t say anything as he waited for their reaction.
After looking at him for a long time, Yue Lan spoke on behalf of everyone.
“Why are you suddenly bringing it up? Does it have something to do with what you talked to him about?”
Everyone once again waited to see what Lin Fan’s response would be.
With a sigh, he said, “It’s related, but at the same time, it isn’t.”
They knitted their brows even more and waited for him to explain what he meant by this.
Seeing this expression on their faces, Lin Fan revealed a faint smile that had a trace of bitterness as he said, “This is something that I should have brought up a long time ago, but I was afraid since I’ve never done something like this before. But now…there is no turning back, so I want to take responsibility.”
The girls all looked even more confused when they heard this, but they could tell that there was something off.
Yue Lan narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan before saying, “You really have no choice in this matter?”
Lin Fan looked at her and slowly shook his head.
A choice in this matter…well it couldn’t be said that he didn’t have a single choice in this matter since he could always choose to not go along with Ye Tian Xie’s plan and marry Ye Qing Huan.
While that would make things harder, it wasn’t as if it would be the end of the world.
It was just that if he decided to not go along with this plan, it would be trouble for the Mu Empire and the Love Sect. At the same time, he would feel that he would be letting Ye Qing Huan down.
She was also one of his women, like the rest of the girls here.
He felt that he should take responsibility for her.
Yue Lan could see that Lin Fan was having his difficulties, so she said with a sigh, “Tell me what happened from the start. Don’t miss a single thing.”
Lin Fan revealed a faint smile of appreciation when he heard this.
He thought that it would be hard to say this since it would seem that he was only bringing this topic up because of the matter with Ye Tian Xie. However, it seemed that Yue Lan understood and was helping him explain this matter to everyone.
When he finished, they all looked at him with blank looks on their faces.
It was hard for him to read what they were thinking when they all looked at him like this. The more that they looked at him like this, the more that it felt like something was crawling down his back.
It was an uncomfortable feeling, but he didn’t say anything as he waited to see how they would react.
Yue Lan once again was the one that broke the silence by saying, “So are you marrying her because you want to protect everything or is there something else?”
Lin Fan was certainly caught off guard by this question since he never thought that she would ask something like this.
He took a moment to look at Yue Lan, but he still couldn’t see through the look on her face. He just couldn’t figure out what she meant when she asked him this question, but it didn’t seem like she would allow him to not answer.
So after taking a deep breath, Lin Fan said, “I want to take responsibility for her as well.”
Yue Lan narrowed her eyes to look at him as if she was sizing him up, but then she said, “Then I hope you’ll let her meet us in the future. We already knew that you would be getting more women, so I hope that we can get along with her.”
Lin Fan let out an internal sigh of relief before revealing a faint smile and giving a nod.
But he could also tell that it didn’t seem like Yue Lan was done with her questions.
It seemed that there was still something else that she wanted to ask, but it seemed like she was hesitating on asking this question. It was as if there was something that was stopping her from asking this.
After taking some time to gather herself, Yue Lan opened her mouth as if she was about to speak. But as she was about to speak, she suddenly stopped herself.
The way that she suddenly stopped herself was as if she was unsure what to say.
At the same time, Lin Fan could see that it seemed like she was almost scared of saying what she wanted to say. It was as if she was afraid of getting the answer to this question that she wanted to ask.
After some time, she still took a deep breath and asked, “The reason that you suddenly wanted to talk about getting married, is it because…”
Her voice trailed off, but what she was implying was very clear.
As she asked this, the others all snapped to attention and focused their eyes on Lin Fan.
It seemed that the others seemed to care about his answer very much.
Lin Fan was certainly surprised since he didn’t think that they would have this doubt in their hearts.
However, thinking about how he had avoided this topic like the plague…perhaps it was his fault that they had this doubt in the first place.
It was his fault for not being straight with them, which was why they couldn’t have this confidence in themselves.
Lin Fan looked at them as if he was sorry before saying, “This is what I wanted to do all along, it was just that I never had the courage to do so.”
When they heard this, it was as if the knots in their hearts had been untied and they could finally let go of their tension.
