《Becoming The Darling Of An Imperial Bigshot After Breaking Off Her Marriage》 Chapter 1 In the early summer, Ye Ningxuan sat in the car sent by the Ye family and drove to Jiang City from the countryside. When her parents died at the age of six, she was abandoned by the Ye family in the countryside. The reason why they brought her back today was to fulfill the marriage contract with the Lin family. Her mother and Mrs. Lin were like sisters. They had arranged a marriage before she was born. No matter how dissatisfied the Ye family was with her, Mrs. Lin only acknowledged her as her daughter-in-law. The Ye family could only bring her back. ¡°Crack. The car suddenly stopped. Ye Ningxuan, who was sitting in the car, swayed. She frowned slightly and asked slowly, ¡°What happened?¡± The driver stopped the car and said, ¡°The car broke down.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s face was covered in a thin veil, so her appearance couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. However, her long, shapely eyebrows were graceful, and under her long, shapely eyebrows was a pair of sparkly eyes that were like autumn water. Her flickering eyes were mesmerizing. ¡°Can you fix it?¡± This was the wilderness, and the sky was already dark. The car had malfunctioned at this moment, so probably¡­ ¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t fix it, Third Miss.¡± The driver turned around and looked at her with a strange gaze that revealed his ill intentions. Ye Ningxuan frowned slightly, and her clear gaze deepened. As expected, the driver unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned towards her. His eyes gradually filled with lust¡­ ¡°Do you know why the Ye family sent me away 13 years ago?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked with a cold voice. The driver revealed a ferocious smile and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but Third Miss, I had no choice.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold as she slowly removed her veil¡­ ***** The Ye family gathered and invited Mrs. Lin and Young Master Lin over. Mrs. Lin asked in shock when she saw the veiled girl standing in the middle of the living room, ¡°This is Ningwan?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Old Master Ye sat at the head of the table and said with an ugly expression, ¡°It¡¯s her.¡± ¡°The wedding is tomorrow. Why did you invite us here today?¡± Mrs. Lin asked in confusion. ¡°Auntie, you might not know this, but Third Sister was supposed to reach home last night. She only entered the house this morning. It¡¯s because¡­¡± The second daughter of the Ye family, Ye Xuan, stood up with an indescribable expression. ¡°Let the driver speak!¡± As she spoke, she secretly shot a look at the driver beside Ye Ningxie. The driver immediately said in a loud voice, ¡°Mrs. Lin, my car broke down last night and we spent the night in the wilderness. We were alone and I couldn¡¯t hold back¡­ We did something we shouldn¡¯t have done. I¡¯m willing to be responsible for Third Miss.¡± ¡°What? Mother, I want to break off the engagement!¡± Young Master Lin Yuyang¡¯s face flushed red with anger. ¡°I will never marry such a woman!¡± Mrs. Lin¡¯s expression changed drastically as well, and she immediately looked at Ye Ningxie. Ye Ningxuan stood upright. Her figure was graceful and delicate. Although her face couldn¡¯t be seen clearly through the veil, just her beautiful eyes that were revealed were extremely similar to those of her deceased mother. Her mother was once the number one beauty in Jiang City. ¡°Ningwan, is what he said¡­ true?¡± Mrs. Lin¡¯s heart ached. Ye Ningxie said in a low voice, ¡°I don¡¯t need him to be responsible.¡± This was equivalent to admitting it. Mrs. Lin closed her eyes in anguish. Although she wanted to fulfill her oath to her late best friend and she didn¡¯t despise the scar on Ye Ningxie¡¯s face, she couldn¡¯t force her son to marry an unchaste wife. However, tomorrow was the wedding. Everyone knew about the Ye and Lin families¡¯ wedding. If they suddenly canceled it, how would they explain it to everyone? Old Master Ye seemed to have seen through her worry and suggested in a low voice, ¡°In order not to let the Ye and Lin families lose face, let Xuan¡¯er marry in place of Ningwan. What do you think, Madam Lin?¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mrs. Lin frowned unhappily. Before she could reply, her son, Lin Yuyang, agreed repeatedly. ¡°This can¡¯t be any better. Xuan¡¯er and I are childhood sweethearts. We¡¯re more suitable.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate!¡± Mrs. Lin stopped her son. ¡°I heard that Second Miss Ye has already promised to marry into the Zhan family. Our family can¡¯t afford to offend the Zhan family.¡± However, Old Master Ye waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to resolve this matter. Back then, the Zhan family proposed marriage and only said that their son would marry the Lin family¡¯s daughter, but they didn¡¯t name which one. Since Ningwan doesn¡¯t need Little Chen to be responsible, why don¡¯t you exchange with Xuan¡¯er and marry into the Zhan family?¡± ¡°Old Master Ye, is Zhan Hanjue¡­¡± ¡°Our family can¡¯t afford the humiliation of her losing her virginity before marriage.¡± Old Master Ye interrupted Mrs. Lin and said, ¡°Other than the Zhan family, who else is willing to marry such a woman?¡± Chapter 2 Mrs. Lin couldn¡¯t dissuade her son, nor could she stop the Ye family¡¯s decision. She could only call Ye Ningxuan to her with tears in her eyes before she was sent to the Zhan family. She took out a card and gave it to her. ¡°Ningxuan, I¡¯ve let your mother down, and my unfilial son has let you down even more. Take this money with you. The Zhan family is dangerous. You must protect yourself.¡± In fact, Ye Ningxie didn¡¯t expect to be sent to the Zhan family. She thought that after spending a night in the wilderness with the driver and being framed by the driver, her marriage would be called off by the Lin family. Then, she would be chased out of the Ye family again and sent back to the countryside. However, who would have thought that the Ye family would be so vicious? Not only did they want her to give up the position of the Lin family¡¯s young madam, but they also wanted her to marry into the Zhan family in place of Ye Xuan and marry that Satan, Zhan Hanjue. Everyone in Jiang City knew about the rumors about Satan. How could she not know? The Four Great Clans of Jiang City were: Zhan, Feng, Ye, and Lin. Zhan Hanjue was the only son of the Zhan family and the current leader. However, no one had seen his true appearance. An accident thirteen years ago had blinded him and ruined his appearance. Since then, he hadn¡¯t seen anyone and had stayed in the Zhan family¡¯s secluded residence all day. Even so, he had taken over the position of head of the Zhan family ten years ago and still created the legend of the Zhan family¡¯s business empire in the shortest time possible. From then on, the Zhan family became extremely powerful. Although they were called the Four Great Clans along with the other three families, the combined power of the three families was probably not comparable to the Zhan family. Although Zhan Hanjue had been blinded and disfigured, just based on the Zhan family¡¯s wealth, the women in Jiang City who wanted to marry him were too many to count. Ten years ago, he had married his first wife, Miss Feng. However, within three months of their marriage, the healthy Miss Feng died. Two years later, Old Madam Zhan found another match for him. This time, it was even more outrageous. The betrothal gift was already given, but the night before the wedding, the bride-to-be actually committed suicide. After another three years, Zhan Hanjue found himself a woman. She was a popular female celebrity. She published this piece of good news in the newspaper in a particularly high-profile manner, but not long after, the female celebrity fell into the water while filming. When she was found, she was already dead. From then on, Zhan Hanjue was nicknamed the ¡°Satan¡±. He was born to be a jinx to his wife. Whoever married him would die. No matter how rich and powerful the Zhan family was, no woman dared to risk her life to marry into the Zhan family. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Although wealth was tempting, one had to be alive to spend it. In a flash, Zhan Hanjue would be over thirty, but he would still be a widower. However, two months ago, the Ye family¡¯s company was short of funds and went to the Zhan family for help. The Zhan family agreed to help the Ye family tide over the crisis, but their only request was for the Ye family to let their daughter marry over. Ye Henghui only had two daughters. The eldest Miss Ye had gotten married two years ago, and the only one who was still single was the second daughter Ye Xuan. After the Ye family survived the crisis, they were filled with regret. Only then did they remember her and urge the Lin family to set a wedding date as soon as possible. Then, they planned to kill two birds with one stone and let her replace Ye Xuan with Ye Xuan so that Ye Xuan could marry into the Lin family and they could send her to the Zhan family to repay the debt. ¡°Auntie, I know you¡¯ve done your best. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take good care of myself.¡± Ye Ningxuan accepted the card from her. It would be a waste not to take the free money. This was what the Lin family owed her. In this scheme, she didn¡¯t know what role Mrs. Lin was playing, but Lin Yuyang was definitely involved. Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and said, ¡°If you can¡¯t stay in the Zhan family, take this money and run.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded. Of course she would run. She didn¡¯t want to marry into the Zhan family or the Lin family. ¡°Speaking of which, you and Zhan Hanjue are fated. He was one of the victims of your parents¡¯ car accident back then, but he survived, while your parents¡­¡± Mrs. Lin couldn¡¯t continue and wiped her tears again. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Auntie, you said that Zhan Hanjue was one of the victims of that car accident?¡± Ye Ningxie was surprised. She actually didn¡¯t know about this at all. She had been at the accident, but she was too young to remember many things. She would investigate when she was older. All traces of the accident had been erased and nothing could be found. ¡°Yes.¡± Mrs. Lin sighed. ¡°I hope he will treat you better on account of this.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes darkened. She hadn¡¯t wanted to marry into the Zhan family, but now, she had changed her mind. Chapter 3 Ye Xuan married out of the Ye family with great fanfare. Meanwhile, Ye Ningxuan was secretly sent to the Zhan family¡¯s wedding car by the Ye family. Zhan Hanjue had been divorced several times. The Zhan family was afraid that if they made too much of a fuss, they would attract trouble again. Therefore, the wedding was canceled and she was simply brought over. The Ye family naturally had no objections. They had gone all out to prepare for Ye Xuan¡¯s wedding, and there was nothing they had prepared for Ye Ningxuan. The Zhan family not holding a wedding was exactly what they wanted. The Zhan family¡¯s butler was reporting to his master in a low voice, ¡°Young Master, Young Madam is here. However, the Ye family gave us the wrong person.¡± ¡°Wrong person?¡± The man¡¯s thin lips parted, and his voice was cold. Butler Wu lowered his head and explained, ¡°It was originally agreed that it would be the second daughter of the Ye family. Now, it¡¯s the third daughter of the Ye family. The Ye family didn¡¯t name who it would be back then. The second Miss Ye has already married into the Lin family, so they can only send the third Miss Ye over.¡± ¡°Ye Henghui is so bold,¡± the man reprimanded coldly. He didn¡¯t care who married into the family, but he hated being lied to. Butler Wu trembled in fear and asked fearfully, ¡°As for the Young Madam¡­ what should we do about her?¡± The man stood up. He was tall, with a handsome face and chiseled features. He was born with a noble aura. Even though his deep eyes were dim, it didn¡¯t affect his powerful and condescending aura. ¡°Send her back and prepare for the acquisition of the Ye Corporation.¡± They dared to deceive him? He would show the Ye family the consequences of deceiving him. ¡°Yes.¡± Butler Wu nodded. ¡°Hold on.¡± Old Madam Zhan came in, leaning on her cane. She gave Butler Wu a look, dismissing him. ¡°Why are you here, Grandmother?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Old Madam Zhan said, ¡°Today is the day your new wife enters the family. How can I not come? I¡¯ve heard about it and immediately found someone to read her fortune. Your destinies are compatible. You two are a compatible couple. The bride can¡¯t be returned. Since she¡¯s the wrong one, let¡¯s just go with the flow.¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s time for you to leave a descendant for the Zhan family.¡± Old Madam Zhan¡¯s tone was implacable. Zhan Hanjue lowered his eyes and gently tapped his long fingers on the table, making a tapping sound. He neither agreed nor refused. Old Madam Zhan knew that he had agreed to leave Ye Ningxuan behind and left with satisfaction. Ye Ningxuan waited in the hall. But she knew the Zhans would keep her. Although time was of the essence, she made a small preparation for staying. Old Madam Zhan had been a Buddhist since many years ago and was quite superstitious. In recent years, she even liked to read fortunes. Therefore, she had asked someone to bribe the fortune teller that Old Madam Zhan often used yesterday night to ensure that she would be kept by the Zhan family today. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks As expected, Butler Wu returned not long after. ¡°The Young Master invites you over.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded and followed him into the backyard. The backyard was quiet and gloomy. Even the street lamps were dim. Through a corridor, an archway ahead looked like the maw of a monster, as if whoever entered it would be to be swallowed and doomed. ¡°Young Master, the Young Madam is here.¡± Butler Wu pushed open a dark red wooden door. The wooden door made a heavy sound. It seemed old. Ye Ningxuan walked in and saw the man standing by the bed. He turned around when he heard the voice. But he quickly waved Butler Wu away. Butler Wu turned around and left. When he left, he even considerately closed the wooden door for them. Ye Ningxuan was already mentally prepared that he was ugly, old, and blind. However, when she saw Zhan Hanjue¡¯s appearance clearly, she was stunned! Who was this man? He was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He just stood there, exuding a noble aura. ¡°Zhan Hanjue?¡± No wonder she was surprised. Zhan Hanjue was a business genius, but no one had ever seen him in person. He¡¯d been a mystery for the last dozen years or so. However, combined with the car accident, fire, and blindness thirteen years ago, and the repeated deaths of his wives, everyone naturally thought that he looked detestable and fierce. Otherwise, how could he live up to the title of ¡°Satan¡±? ¡°Miss Ye, who was sent back to the countryside thirteen years ago and was only brought back to the Ye family yesterday.¡± Zhan Hanjue calmly revealed her background. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes flashed. The other party had investigated her background so thoroughly. ¡°Do you know why I kept you even though I knew you were a substitute?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s voice was low. ¡°Even though you¡¯re ugly and had lost your virginity?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Ye Ningxuan replied silently. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°I¡¯m blind, so I don¡¯t care what you look like.¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s thin lips curved into a cold smile. ¡°There¡¯s no place for you in the Ye family. You can stay in the Zhan family, but you need to do your duty as Mrs. Zhan.¡± ¡°Duty as Mrs. Zhan?¡± Ye Ningxuan raised her eyes slightly. No wonder he looked at her with blank eyes. He really was blind. That made things easier. It would be easier for her to do things from now on. ¡°Come and undress me,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered. Chapter 4 Ye Ningxuan¡¯s ears turned slightly red, and her bright eyes looked slightly embarrassed. Mrs. Zhan¡¯s duty was to undress him? She was here to be Mrs. Zhan, not a maid. ¡°What, you want to be sent back?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked coldly. Ye Ningxuan immediately walked over and deftly unbuttoned the second button of his shirt. Zhan Hanjue was very tall, about 1.85 meters and above. Ye Ningxuan was only 1.68 meters. Therefore, it was still a little difficult to unbutton him. She had to tiptoe slightly. ¡°Why do you wear a veil over your face?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked her. Ye Ningxuan raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. But as soon as she shook it, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her. Ye Ningxuan panicked and lost her balance. She immediately tilted forward and fell into his arms. The woman¡¯s unique fragrance entered Zhan Hanjue¡¯s nose. This fragrance was very strange and familiar. Zhan Hanjue frowned, but before he could smell enough, Ye Ningxuan immediately struggled out of his arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Her hand was still in his. ¡°Can you let go of me first?¡± she asked in a low voice. ¡°You¡¯re hurting me.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question.¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. Ye Ningxuan also frowned. How did a blind man like him know that she was wearing a veil? And how did he know that her hand was waving in front of his eyes? ¡°You ¡­ can see?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because I can¡¯t see, I don¡¯t know anything,¡± Zhan Hanjue warned in a low voice close to her ear. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. He was really smart! But it made sense. If he didn¡¯t have outstanding abilities that surpassed those of ordinary people, how could he build the Zhan family¡¯s business empire in a short period of time by himself? ¡°I don¡¯t want to repeat the same question a third time.¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s tone was already slightly unhappy. Ye Ningxuan immediately replied, ¡°My face was injured in a car accident. I was afraid of scaring others.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t see because I¡¯m blind. There¡¯s no need to wear a veil with me.¡± Zhan Hanjue released her. Ye Ningxuan quickly rubbed his delicate wrist. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks His grip was really strong. After being grabbed for so long, her wrist was red and throbbing. ¡°But there are others in the house. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll scare them,¡± Ye Ye Ningxuan said sensibly. Zhan Hanjue said coldly, ¡°You are Mrs. Zhan. Who would dare despise you?¡± Ye Ningxuan scoffed in his heart. ¡®I think you¡¯re blind and afraid that others will ridicule you, so you asked me to stand in front of you as a shield.¡¯ But she didn¡¯t argue with him. With a low grunt, she gently removed the veil. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes were extremely beautiful. Her delicate little nose was straight and pretty, and the skin on the intact half of her face was fair and lustrous. Her lips were rosy, like rose petals with rain in the morning, making one want to kiss her. This was supposed to be an extremely beautiful face. Just by looking at half of it, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Unfortunately, the other half of her face was covered in hideous scars. The scars seemed to be many years old, snaking across half her face. No matter how beautiful the other half was, it couldn¡¯t erase the fear and disgust the other half aroused. After she took off her veil, she deliberately looked up at Zhan Hanjue and her entire face was reflected in his pupils. However, Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t react at all. His eyes were calm. Ye Ningxuan had no choice but to continue undressing him. After taking off his shirt, she started to take off his pants. After taking off his outer pants, only his underwear was left. Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. Although she had seen a man¡¯s body before, such a body¡­ ¡°Run water in the bathroom,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly. Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got up to go to the bathroom. After running the water, she came out and prepared to help him in. But Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t need her to help him inside. His steps were firm and without hesitation, making Ye Ningxuan wonder if he was blind. Even if a person had been blind for many years and was very familiar with his surroundings, it was still very difficult to be as skilled as him. She had to find a chance to test him. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Ye Ningxuan, come in.¡± Suddenly, Zhan Hanjue¡¯s voice came from the bathroom again. Ye Ningxuan trembled and frowned slightly. Why call her in now? She had only entered the Zhan family to investigate the truth behind her parents¡¯ car accident back then. She didn¡¯t want to really be his wife. Chapter 5 ¡°Come in or be sent away, Ye Ningxuan,¡± Zhan Hanjue urged from the bathroom again. Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth and pushed the door open. However, the moment she entered, she closed her eyes so that she wouldn¡¯t see anything strange that would easily give her needle marks. ¡°Ah.¡± Suddenly, hot water sprayed at her. Ye Ningxuan screamed and had no choice but to open her eyes. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t see the strange thing. A towel that covered important areas was already wrapped around his waist, revealing a firm eight-pack. But he was holding the shower head in his hand, and it kept spraying water at her. Ye Ningxuan quickly dodged and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened to the showerhead?¡± ¡°The showerhead is broken. Come and help me turn it off. I can¡¯t see. I can¡¯t find the location.¡± Zhan Hanjue held the shower, his face slightly gloomy. Perhaps it was also the first time he had encountered such a thing. Zhan Hanjue seemed to be in a bad mood. Ye Ningxuan quickly wiped the water off her face and walked around to help him turn off the shower. With the switch off, the shower stopped spraying. Zhan Hanjue relaxed and reached for the wall next to him again. However, Ye Ningxuan happened to be standing at the side. He pressed one hand on her face. With a grab, the fake skin on her face curled up. ¡°Don¡¯t stand in my way,¡± Zhan Hanjue said icily. Ye Ningxuan made way, still unaware of the change in her face. She watched as he walked out of the bathroom and followed. Zhan Hanjue calmly went to the closet to take out his pajamas. Without looking back, he said to Ye Ningxuan, who was behind him, ¡°What? Do you want to see me change?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Ye Ningxuan turned around immediately. ¡°In that case,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a shower in the bathroom and come warm my bed later?¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. He was actually asking her to warm his bed? Like he was the Emperor himself? Unfortunately, the royal family was wiped out during the Qing Dynasty. She could not be bothered to argue with such a temperamental person. She would go and take a shower first. If he really dared to do anything to her later, then he could not blame her for being rude. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks With this thought in mind, Ye Ningxuan walked into the bathroom calmly. However, when she looked in the bathroom mirror, she realized that the fake skin on her face had curled up. She quickly pressed it with her hand while frowning to herself. When had it curled up? Yes, Zhan Hanjue had scratched her face just now. She had not paid attention at the time. Could it have been that? If so, the damage to the shower could have been faked. He¡¯d taken the opportunity to test her. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. Ye Ningxuan simply peeled off the fake skin on her face. She wanted to see if he was really blind or lying. After taking a shower, Ye Ningxuan walked out. At this moment, her cheeks were as smooth and fair as before. Her eyebrows were willowy, her lips were rosy, and her face was still misty from the shower. She was as mesmerizing as a lotus flower. She walked straight up to Zhan Hanjue and held his gaze, trying to discern the change in it. Unfortunately, Zhan Hanjue¡¯s eyes were blank. It was impossible to see any change. ¡°I used to learn medicine in the countryside. I¡¯ll take your pulse. Maybe there¡¯s a way to treat your eyes,¡± Ye Ningxuan said, pretending to take his pulse. However, Zhan Hanjue quickly dodged and said in a low voice, ¡°Since you know medicine, you should think of a way to treat your face first so that you don¡¯t embarrass the Zhan family.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t my face very good?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked deliberately. Zhan Hanjue reached out to touch her face. Ye Ningxuan immediately moved away. ¡°If it¡¯s good, why are you afraid to let me touch it?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked in a low voice. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip and took out a silver needle. She suddenly approached Zhan Hanjue and seemed to want to kiss him. Zhan Hanjue felt the heat approaching and frowned slightly. He leaned back involuntarily and hissed, ¡°What are you doing leaning over?¡± ¡°On our wedding night, of course I¡¯m fulfilling my duty as Mrs. Zhan.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s voice was charming. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s face hardened. ¡°No. Go away.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°That won¡¯t do. Old Madam Zhan will be furious when she finds out.¡± Ye Ningxuan leaned forward and reached out to touch his face. However, while he was flustered, she took the opportunity to stab a needle into his acupoint and watched him fall onto the bed with his eyes closed. ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to take your pulse, I¡¯ll take it. I want to see if your blindness is real.¡± Ye Ningxuan snorted and put her hand on his pulse. Chapter 6 When Zhan Hanjue woke up, Ye Ningxuan had already washed up and come out of the bathroom. Zhan Hanjue reached for his watch and checked the time. ¡°How did I fall asleep yesterday?¡± Ye Ningxuan replied calmly, ¡°You fell asleep as soon as you fell yesterday. The quality of your sleep is really good. How enviable.¡± Zhan Hanjue fumbled out of bed and took off his pajamas to change into his formal clothes. Ye Ningxuan immediately turned her back to him. She had checked his pulse last night, and his eyes had indeed been injured. His meridians were blocked, a symptom of eye disease. It seemed that he wasn¡¯t pretending to be blind. He was really blind. This was great. She wouldn¡¯t have to worry about anything in the future. Therefore, the fake skin on her face was not pasted on this morning. She would wear a veil when she went out later. After all, fake skin was not breathable. If it was stuck to her face for too long, she might have an allergic reaction. On the other hand, her skin was naturally delicate and she was susceptible to allergies. She thought that she would be back soon after coming to the city. She had only brought two pieces of fake skin with her. This was another daily disposable item. She had to find time to create a new one. ¡°Young Master, Young Madam, Old Madam wants you to go down for breakfast.¡± The servant came over and knocked on the door. Ye Ningxuan wore a veil and went to help Zhan Hanjue. However, as soon as she touched him, she was ruthlessly flung away by Zhan Hanjue. Ye Ningxuan pouted and followed him down. When Old Madam Zhan saw the two of them coming down together, she said happily, ¡°You guy came down. Did you sleep well yesterday?¡± Ye Ningxuan hurriedly bowed and replied gently, ¡°I slept very well. Thank you for your concern, Grandma.¡± At this moment, the servant came over with a cup of tea. Without waiting for the servant to speak, Ye Ningxuan took the cup of tea and brought it to Old Madam Zhan. Old Madam Zhan nodded, satisfied. From the corner of her eye, she saw the maid coming down the stairs. The maid was holding a piece of white felt cloth, stained dark red with blood. Old Madam Zhan was surprised. Ye Ningxuan immediately explained in a low voice, ¡°The driver didn¡¯t do anything that night. He took pity on me and helped me hide it.¡± ¡°In that case, why didn¡¯t you tell your grandfather?¡± Old Madam Zhan was puzzled. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She raised her slender hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. She sobbed softly, ¡°Grandpa has never liked me. Marrying into the Lin family is a disaster to me, not a blessing. I can¡¯t afford it.¡± When Old Madam Zhan heard this, her heart ached as she held her hand. ¡°How pitiful. Old Master Ye is too outrageous. How can he be so biased? His conscience has been eaten by a dog.¡± ¡°But fortunately, I had the chance to marry into the Zhan family and meet such a good husband and grandmother.¡± Ye Ningxuan took the opportunity to please her. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Old Madam Zhan¡¯s heart ached for her even more. She quickly sat her down and placed several types of pastries on her plate. Ye Ningxuan gently lifted her veil and sent something into her mouth. Old Madam Zhan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Your face¡­¡± ¡°I got a scar in the car accident. That¡¯s why Grandpa thought I was a jinx,¡± Ye Ningxuan explained. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if a person is beautiful on the surface or not. One¡¯s heart is what truely matters. At my age, I¡¯ve seen everything. Take off your veil!¡± Old Madam Zhan was very reasonable. Ye Ningxuan quickly refused. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to scare Grandma.¡± ¡°What hasn¡¯t Grandma seen before? How can she be frightened by you?¡± Zhan Hanjue said as he quickly pulled the veil off her face. Ye Ningxuan did not expect him to tear off her veil and immediately covered her face. There wasn¡¯t even a mole on her face, let alone a scar. The good image she had just created in Old Madam Zhan¡¯s heart was probably going to be wasted. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, your face?¡± Old Madam Zhan exclaimed. Ye Ningxuan explained guiltily, ¡°Grandma, I¡­¡± ¡°So your face isn¡¯t disfigured. That¡¯s great! Ye Ningxuan, it seems that our family has got a huge bargain to get a beauty like you!¡± Old Madam Zhan clapped her hands and laughed happily. ¡°The children you two give birth to will definitely be especially cute. You have to hurry up and give birth to a great-grandchild for me.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. Old Madam Zhan wasn¡¯t angry? This old lady¡¯s breadth of mind was really¡­ admirable! ¡°I heard that your cousin and Lin Yuyang will be back in three days. At that time, you and Hanjue can go back openly. Don¡¯t wear a veil. Let them regret it,¡± Old Madam Zhan suggested excitedly. Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly. She quickly looked at Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue had been living in seclusion all these years. Otherwise, the outside world would not have guessed that he was old and ugly. Why would he be willing to accompany her back to the Ye family? ¡°Grandma, it¡¯s not convenient for me to go out.¡± As expected, Zhan Hanjue refused coldly. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only However, Mrs. Zhan was very domineering. ¡°No, it wasn¡¯t easy for our family to get a wife. We have to bring her out to show off. No matter what, we have to accompany Ningxuan back to the house. We can¡¯t let her lose face in the Ye family. It¡¯s settled then. If you don¡¯t want to accompany Ningxuan, I¡¯ll show Ningxuan the photo of you naked when you were young.¡± Zhan Hanjue was speechless. Ye Ningxuan smiled and looked at him in amusement. But then she remembered that he couldn¡¯t see the expression on her face either, so her smile widened. ¡°Very well. I will accompany her back to the family,¡± Zhan Hanjue agreed through gritted teeth. Chapter 7 Today, the second daughter, Ye Xuan, returned home. The Ye family had been preparing early in the morning to welcome her. Old Master Ye had a total of three sons and two daughters. Ye Xuan¡¯s father was the eldest son, and the youngest son was Ye Ningxuan¡¯s father. Everyone knew that Old Master Ye hated his youngest son the most, so he couldn¡¯t wait to send his only daughter to the countryside after his youngest son and his wife passed away. As for Ye Xuan, she had grown up by Old Master Ye¡¯s side and was doted on. When she returned home, the entire family naturally came over. Almost no one would remember that the Ye family had a daughter who was also married. Logically speaking, she should also return home today. ¡°Coming, coming. The second daughter is back.¡± Someone shouted, and the relatives hurriedly went out to welcome them. Ye Xuan and Lin Yuyang entered together. Ye Xuan was no longer wearing her usual thick makeup. Now that she was a bride, her makeup was much lighter and more elegant. She was already beautiful, but after being nourished by love, she became even more charming. Lin Yuyang was tall and handsome. When the two of them walked together, they looked like a perfect match. ¡°Grandpa, this is our gift for you. I hope you like it.¡± Ye Xuan handed over a jade with a smile. This was an antique from the previous dynasty, a real antique collected by the Lin family. When Old Master Ye saw their gifts, he immediately smiled from ear to ear. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I like it very much. I didn¡¯t dote on you for nothing.¡± The others looked at the jade with envy, especially the other sisters in the family. They looked at Ye Xuan with envy. They envied her for marrying into the Lin family and having today¡¯s extravagance. ¡°Xuan¡¯er, it¡¯s only been three days since we last met, but you¡¯ve become even more beautiful,¡± the eldest aunt stammered. Ye Xuan smiled and suppressed the pride in her heart. ¡°Aunt, you flatter me. I came back today and brought gifts for Second Uncle and Aunt. I hope you elders don¡¯t despise them.¡± As she spoke, she waved her hand and got the servants of the Lin family to come forward and distribute the gifts to everyone. ¡°Xuan¡¯er is really obedient and sensible. She¡¯s so considerate.¡± the eldest aunt couldn¡¯t help but praise. Ye Henghui and his wife were extremely proud. It seemed that they had made the right move back then. Otherwise, their daughter would be the one to be sent to the Zhan family. How could she still have the glory she had now? ¡°Isn¡¯t Ningxuan coming back today?¡± Ye Xuan suddenly thought of something and pretended to be concerned. Her mother, Li Meifeng, frowned and said, ¡°It¡¯s a good day. Why mention her?¡± ¡°Zhan Hanjue is a living Satan. I wonder how many days that girl can last. But it¡¯s good. She¡¯s also a scrouge. The sooner she dies, the better,¡± the eldest aunt mocked. One of the aunts lowered her head, her heart aching for her poor niece. However, she had no say in this family and could do nothing but feel sorry for her. Old Master Ye said unhappily, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t mention those inauspicious things. Yuyang, are your parents alright?¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. My parents are very good. They also asked us to send their regards to you.¡± Lin Yuyang was humble and polite. ¡°Master, Master.¡± The servant suddenly ran in to report in a panic. ¡°Third Miss is back.¡± The members of the Ye family were all surprised, shocked, and delighted. Some were even gloating. However, at the same time, they wondered why Ye Ningxuan still had the cheek to come back. The servant reported again, ¡°Third Uncle also came back.¡± Everyone was even more surprised. Zhan Hanjue was here too? Didn¡¯t he rarely show his face? Why did he come back with Ye Ningxuan today? While they were surprised, Ye Ningxuan had already walked in with Zhan Hanjue. Ye Ningxuan was extremely beautiful. Although she was still wearing a veil, her figure alone was enough to make one¡¯s heart flutter. Not to mention how exquisitely tailored and beautiful the dress she was wearing was, the upper half of her face that was revealed was even more beautiful. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Most of the juniors of the Ye family had never seen her before. Seeing her, they were all shocked. Didn¡¯t they say that Ye Ningxuan was a disfigured ugly woman and a country bumpkin who had been abandoned in the countryside since she was young? What was this feeling of a fairy descending to the mortal world? However, what shocked the Ye family even more was Zhan Hanjue¡¯s appearance. The man had short hair and an exquisitely tailored suit that accentuated his noble elegance. Underneath, he wore a white shirt that was slightly open at the collar in a sexy manner. He wore sunglasses that hid his eyes, but his nose was high and his lips sexy. He looked drop dead gorgeous. He was already breathtakingly handsome without even showing his eyes. If he took off his sunglasses, he would look even more perfect. He didn¡¯t look like an ordinary man from this world. He looked more like a prince who had walked out of countless girls¡¯ fantasies. Even men couldn¡¯t help but admire him. Everyone in the Ye family was stunned. They looked at the man in a daze and were speechless. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m back.¡± Ye Ningxuan scanned the crowd with her beautiful eyes and smiled. Old Master Ye was the first to react. He stared at the man and asked in a low voice, ¡°Is he Zhan Hanjue?¡± Everyone was also looking forward to Ye Ningxuan¡¯s answer. It was rumored that Zhan Hanjue was old and ugly. How could it be this handsome man in front of them? ¡°That¡¯s right. Thank you, Grandpa, for arranging such a marriage for me. It gave me the honor to marry into such a wealthy family and find such an outstanding husband.¡± Ye Ningxuan held Zhan Hanjue¡¯s arm and leaned against him. Zhan Hanjue stiffened slightly. Although they were married for three days, he found an excuse to go out to do something the next day. They weren¡¯t close. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that he¡¯s Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue is old and ugly. How can it be him? You must have found someone from somewhere to trick us,¡± Ye Xuan said firmly. ¡°That¡¯s right. How can he be Zhan Hanjue? If Zhan Hanjue looks like him, women in Jiang City will go crazy thinking about marrying him.¡± The eldest aunt didn¡¯t believe it either. Ye Ningxuan looked up at Zhan Hanjue with a smile. ¡°Hubby, what should we do? They don¡¯t believe you.¡± ¡°Chen Tan, bring me the Ye Corporation¡¯s contract,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered. Chen Tan, who came with him, immediately walked over and handed a contract to Ye Henghui. ¡°Special¡­ Special Assistant Chen?¡± Ye Henghui didn¡¯t know Zhan Hanjue, but he knew Chen Tan. ¡°President Ye, the contract between the Ye and Zhan families has expired. This is the termination of the contract. The Zhan family doesn¡¯t intend to renew it. If the Ye family still wants to cooperate with the Zhan family, you can discuss it with our CEO¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°CEO¡¯s wife?¡± ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m the CEO¡¯s wife. Thank you for letting me go, Sister,¡± Ye Ningxuan reminded. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Ye Henghui staggered with regret. At this moment, everyone truly believed that the handsome man in front of them was indeed Zhan Hanjue. Ye Xuan wanted to cry. She looked at Lin Yuyang. Although Lin Yuyang was also a young talent, compared to Zhan Hanjue, it was like the light of fireflies competing with the sun and moon. And such a handsome man should have been hers. Chapter 8 The Ye family¡¯s banquet, which should have been lively, was dreary because of Ye Ningxuan¡¯s arrival. Seeing that no one was talking, the eldest aunt rolled her eyes and said with a smile, ¡°Dad, look at how Xuan¡¯er brought so many gifts back today. Xuan¡¯er is so sensible. I wonder what Ningxuan brought back for you? Ningxuan, take out the gift you brought back and let us broaden our horizons.¡± There was a rule in Jiang City. When a daughter married from her maiden family, she naturally had to bring a generous dowry. The daughter would return three days after her marriage, and her husband¡¯s family had to prepare a gift in return. Usually, the richer the dowry, the richer the return gift prepared by the husband¡¯s family. Ye Ningxuan sneered. When she got married, the Ye family didn¡¯t even prepare a bed for her. How could they expect her to bring back a gift? ¡°Ningxuan, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not prepared! However, you didn¡¯t have parents since you were young and didn¡¯t grow up by our side. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t know the rules. It¡¯s just that Zhan family¡­ Why don¡¯t they even know this rule? Could it be that they¡¯re not satisfied with you?¡± The eldest aunt covered her mouth and mocked. The others also looked at Ye Ningxuan gloatingly. She was even wearing a veil when eating. There was no telling how ugly she was. It was just that Zhan Hanjue¡¯s reputation wasn¡¯t good so he had no other choice. However, he definitely didn¡¯t like her in his heart. Zhan Hanjue frowned slightly. He didn¡¯t expect the Ye family to bully an orphan girl like this. ¡°Bring up the return gift, Butler Wu,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly. ¡°Yes.¡± Butler Wu immediately called in the people outside and presented the return gifts to the Ye family one by one. There was an eight-piece set of exquisite gold jewelry, a half-meter-tall jade Guanyin, and an antique painted heart vase from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Old Master Ye was an antique collector. Other things aside, he couldn¡¯t take his eyes off this antique vase. The quality was so good, and it was well preserved. It was obviously expensive and rare. The other items also made the others gape. First Aunt couldn¡¯t care less about being humiliated. She hurriedly smiled obsequiously and said, ¡°Are these all gifts for us? President Zhan, you¡¯re too polite. As expected of the richest man in Jiang City, you¡¯re so generous.¡± ¡°Eldest Aunt, you must be joking.¡± Ye Ningxuan said slowly, ¡°These are the return gifts prepared by the Zhan family. However, our family doesn¡¯t have any dowry. How can we accept the return gifts from the Zhan family? The Zhan family prepared these because they know the rules. Our family can¡¯t let others look down on us. Butler Wu, put everything away. Be careful not to break them. We still have to bring them back later.¡± ¡°Yes, Young Madam.¡± Butler Wu agreed respectfully and waved his hand to get someone to take the items back. ¡°Well¡­¡± ¡°Third Sister, the other things are fine, but Grandpa likes to collect antiques the most. Why don¡¯t you leave that antique vase for Grandpa? I believe Mr. Zhan won¡¯t object,¡± Ye Xuan said. She asked for the vase for Old Master Ye and looked at Zhan Hanjue with affection. Unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue said, ¡°I have no objections, but I have never cared about these household matters. My wife is in charge.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes narrowed. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really filial. However, Grandpa has a lot of collections. I don¡¯t think he will care about such an ordinary thing.¡± Old Master Ye¡¯s face turned livid with anger. Why didn¡¯t he care? He was dying for it. But at his age, how could he have the nerve to ask a junior for it? Besides, he really didn¡¯t prepare anything for this girl. Ye Xuan¡¯s expression turned ugly. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks However, she quickly thought of a plan and looked at Zhan Hanjue with a smile. ¡°Mr. Zhan, our family heard the rumors previously and didn¡¯t consider it carefully. If we knew that Mr. Zhan was such a talent, we definitely wouldn¡¯t have let our ugly third sister marry over. Our family still has a few other girls, so Mr. Zhan might as well take a look.¡± With that, she deliberately puffed out her breasts and revealed what she thought was her most beautiful smile. Lin Yuyang¡¯s face turned livid, but he couldn¡¯t flare up in front of everyone. He could only clench his fists hatefully. Ye Ya was only seventeen years old. When she heard Ye Xuan¡¯s words, she was ashamed and couldn¡¯t help but blush and lower her head. However, First Aunt was extremely excited and immediately pushed her daughter in the direction of Zhan Hanjue. ¡°President Zhan, this is my daughter, Chen Nome. She¡¯s the same age as Ningxuan and is much prettier than Ningxuan.¡± If she married into the Zhan family, wouldn¡¯t those gifts be hers? Zhan Hanjue said coldly, ¡°I think everyone has forgotten that I¡¯m blind. Beauty and ugliness mean nothing to me.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ye Xuan was extremely vexed. Why was she so focused on looking at his face that she forgot that he was blind? She had wasted so much time posing. ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t think Ningxuan is ugly.¡± Zhan Hanjue held Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hand in public. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hand was smooth and slender. It was warm in his hand, like a high-quality jade. The moment he held her hand, Zhan Hanjue¡¯s heart fluttered. Ye Xuan snorted and tried to sow discord. ¡°Mr. Zhan, even if you can¡¯t see, don¡¯t be deceived. She¡¯s wearing a veil to hide her ugly appearance. Even if you don¡¯t care, you have to think about the next generation.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, President Zhan. Ningxuan has been ugly since she was young. Our entire family knows that. My daughter is really beautiful. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can let your butler see her and tell you,¡± the eldest aunt said impatiently. ¡°Eldest Aunt, how many years has it been since you last saw me? How dare you say that you know? Second Sister, must I be ugly if I have a veil on? Where did you get this idea from? It¡¯s really funny and ridiculous.¡± Ye Ningxuan retorted rudely. Ye Xuan widened her eyes. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, you¡¯re so arrogant. Since you¡¯re so arrogant, why don¡¯t you take off your veil? Seeing is believing. Let¡¯s all see how beautiful you are.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. I came home to attend a family banquet, not a beauty pageant. I¡¯m afraid that if I take off my veil, I¡¯ll make you feel inferior.¡± Ye Ningxuan sounded like she was doing this for her own good. Ye Xuan was about to explode from anger. She immediately stood up and shouted, ¡°Ye Ningxuan, how dare you say such shameless words? You must take it off today.¡± ¡°I can take it off, but Sister, why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡± Ye Ningxuan suggested. ¡°Bet? On what?¡± ¡°If everyone thinks that Second Sister is prettier than me, I won¡¯t bring any of those return gifts back today. I¡¯ll give them all to Second Sister.¡± ¡°Really? Keep your word. Don¡¯t go back on your word.¡± Afraid that she would go back on her word, Ye Xuan shouted before she could finish. ¡°Of course I¡¯ll keep my word. My husband has already said that I¡¯ll be in charge, right?¡± Ye Ningxuan looked at Zhan Hanjue with a smile. Zhan Hanjue said nothing, his face grim. But if he didn¡¯t object, it meant he agreed. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°But Second Sister, if everyone thinks that I¡¯m prettier than Second Sister, Second Sister has to bet on something to. That¡¯s only fair,¡± Ye Ningxuan added. Ye Xuan snorted. ¡°Sure, what do you want me to do?¡± There were no strict boundaries between beauty and ugliness. No matter how one looked at it, there were more people on her side than on Ye Ningxuan¡¯s side. As long as everyone was on her side, what could Ye Ningxuan do? ¡°I just want the carved peony jade pendant in Second Sister¡¯s dowry.¡± Chapter 9 Ye Ningxuan extended her slender hand and slowly removed her veil. The Ye family held their breaths, waiting to see her make a fool of herself. The juniors might not remember, but the elders still remembered her tragic state after the car accident. Half of her face was bloody and terrifying. Even the doctor said that she was disfigured. Even if she had plastic surgery, she wouldn¡¯t recover. Ye Xuan¡¯s looks were the best among the girls in the Ye family. With a disfigured face like hers, she still dared to compete with Ye Xuan in terms of beauty? She was embarrassing herself. However, when Ye Ningxuan took off her veil, everyone was dumbfounded. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her facial features were exquisite, like a lotus flower. She was so beautiful that one couldn¡¯t look away, but they didn¡¯t dare to look at her too much. They were afraid that their gazes would be too fiery and burn her milky skin. Her rosy lips were as delicate as rose petals. She sat there quietly like a plum blossom that bloomed quietly and elegantly in the quiet valley . No matter how many people were watching her, she seemed to be alone in the empty wilderness. Her eyes and eyebrows were filled with nonchalance, breeziness, nobleness and elegance. ¡°You¡­ How is that possible?¡± Ye Xuan almost fainted. She knew she had lost. No matter how many people there were on her side, compared to such a face, she lost completely. The other members of the Ye family also revealed various expressions. Some were surprised, some were stunned, and some were horrified! She looked so much like her mother! The elders of the Ye family looked at her as if they were seeing Tang Xiaowan again. Li Meifeng couldn¡¯t sit still. She found it difficult to breathe and was about to stand up to leave when Old Master Ye stood up before her. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well. I¡¯m going to get some rest.¡± Then he stood up shakily and walked away. ¡°How is that possible? How did your face heal?¡± the eldest aunt yelled back. Back then, she had seen with her own eyes that half of her face was disfigured. But now, with her fair skin, it didn¡¯t seem like it was simply makeup. Ye Ningxuan said indifferently, ¡°I met a divine doctor in the countryside. He cured me with herbs.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Lin Yuyang asked anxiously. If he had seen such a beautiful face earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have married Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan glared at him angrily. Unfortunately, Lin Yuyang didn¡¯t care about her gaze at all. His eyes were glued to Ye Ningxuan¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t move away at all. Ye Ningxuan sneered. ¡°If I had told you earlier, how could I have seen through your true colors?¡± ¡°So you were testing me. You¡­¡± Lin Yuyang¡¯s eyes were filled with regret. ¡°So what if you¡¯re beautiful? Mr. Zhan, you don¡¯t know, right? She had an affair with a driver on the way back to the city and lost her virginity long ago. She¡¯s just a promiscuous slut.¡± Ye Xuan couldn¡¯t compare to Ye Ningxuan, so she insulted her in exasperation. ¡°Ye Henghui, is this how you raised your daughter?¡± Zhan Hanjue slammed the table and questioned Ye Henghui. Ye Henghui trembled in fear and immediately stood up to slap his daughter. ¡°Dad?¡± Ye Xuan covered her face in disbelief. She had never been beaten since she was young. ¡°Ye Henghui, what are you doing?¡± Li Meifeng hugged her daughter and scolded Ye Henghui. Eldest Aunt also complained, ¡°Big Brother, how could you hit Xuan¡¯er? Xuan¡¯er is right. This is something that everyone knows.¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan is my wife. Who knows better than me whether she is innocent or not? If I hear such rumors again, I will make that person disappear from Jiang City forever.¡± Zhan Hanjue stood up and pulled up Ye Ningxuan beside him while warning everyone coldly. His face looked cold and stern. He was already imposing without being angry, let alone now. The Ye family members trembled in fear. How could they have forgotten that this person was Zhan Hanjue? What he said was by no means a threat. He really could do it. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Let¡¯s go home,¡± Zhan Hanjue said, putting his arm around Ye Nin¡¯s shoulders. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°Okay.¡± However, after agreeing, she looked at Ye Xuan with a smile and reminded her, ¡°Second Sister, don¡¯t forget to give me the jade pendant. If it¡¯s not convenient for you to give it to me, I¡¯ll send someone to get it.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Ye Xuan covered her face and snorted. Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan and left. As soon as the two of them left, the Ye family burst into an uproar and discussed Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue¡¯s appearance. Ye Xuan cried and scolded her father, ¡°I¡¯m your daughter. How can you hit me for that wretched girl?¡± Li Meifeng also refused to forgive him. ¡°Ye Henghui, are you still thinking about that vixen? Seeing that she looks like that vixen, you hit my daughter? I¡¯m not done with you.¡± ¡°Shut up. Didn¡¯t you hear Zhan Hanjue say that the contract is up? If you want to renew it, Ye Ningxuan¡¯s approval is required. Do you know what will happen to Ye Corporation if we can¡¯t continue working with the Zhan family?¡± Ye Henghui roared in exasperation. The Ye family members were arguing, but only one person was still sitting quietly in his seat, looking in the direction where Ye Ningxuan had left. It was as if his entire soul had been taken away. ******* ¡°Thanks a lot!¡± After getting into the car, Ye Ningxuan thanked Zhan Hanjue. If not for Zhan Hanjue¡¯s help today, she wouldn¡¯t have won back the carved peony jade pendant so easily. Zhan Hanjue had been forced by Old Madam Zhan to come over. He had no obligation to help her in the first place. He didn¡¯t undermine her and was still willing to help. Ye Ningxuan wasn¡¯t an ungrateful person. ¡°Has the Ye family always treated you like this?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression was serious. Ye Ningxuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted. ¡°Of course not. After I got into a car accident when I was six, the Ye family sent me back to the countryside. Like you, I¡¯m not familiar with them.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re not close with them, don¡¯t come back here again,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Ye Ningxuan nodded. Even if he didn¡¯t say anything, she wouldn¡¯t have gone to the Ye family for no reason. It wasn¡¯t like she had nothing better to do. Then the driver suddenly braked and the car lurched. Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue had been sitting on opposite sides of the car. However, because of the emergency brake, Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t help but lean to the right and roll into Zhan Hanjue¡¯s arms. Zhan Hanjue was sitting steadily, but a soft thing suddenly bumped into his arms, making him subconsciously reach out to hug it. Her soft figure was in his embrace. Under his hand, there was soft and smooth skin. Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. She immediately struggled out of his arms and pushed his hand off her thigh. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± She definitely had no intention of throwing herself at him. ¡°What happened, Mr. Chen?¡± Zhan Hanjue snapped. The driver, Mr. Chen, immediately apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. A car suddenly rushed over and almost hit us.¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. When Ye Ningxuan heard this, she quickly craned her neck and looked forward. She recalled that the car had indeed almost hit them. But it didn¡¯t seem unintentional. It seemed deliberate. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Did you offend someone?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Zhan Hanjue snorted. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve offended someone.¡± Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. Was that person from the Ye family?¡¯ They were too fast. They had only left not long ago, but they couldn¡¯t wait to kill her! Chapter 10 Mr. Chen drove them home the other way. After reaching home safely, Zhan Hanjue first sent someone to report to Old Madam Zhan that they arrived home safely. Old Madam Zhan sent Mrs. Chen to pass a message to them. ¡°You must be tired after returning home today. Old Madam said that you should go back to your rooms to rest early. In addition, Old Madam specially instructed that Eldest Young Master isn¡¯t allowed to leave the house again today and must stay in his room.¡± Zhan Hanjue nodded impassively and returned to his room. Ye Ningxuan smiled at Mrs. Chen and quickly followed. Actually, she thought, since he was blind and it was still a distance to the small courtyard where they lived, she might be able to help him. Unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue strode back to his room and successfully avoided all the potholes along the way. He seemed to have better eyesight than a normal person. This made Ye Ningxuan sigh again. Was he really blind? If she hadn¡¯t personally checked his pulse and confirmed that there was something wrong with his eyes, she would have suspected it. ¡°Run the water for me. I need a shower.¡± As soon as he entered the room, Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly. Ye Ningxuan was grateful to him and felt that she had implicated him today, so she agreed very eagerly. She immediately went to the bathroom to put the water away for him. When she came out, she saw him undressing and asked solicitously, ¡°Do you want my help?¡± Zhan Hanjue had taken off his sunglasses and gave her a glance. Ye Ningxuan thought, ¡°You can¡¯t even see me, so why are you glancing at me?¡± Then again, his eyeballs were strange. They weren¡¯t like the eyeballs of a blind man at all. If he didn¡¯t say anything, no one would know that he was blind. Ye Ningxuan secretly pondered inside. She mustered up her courage and went forward to help him unbutton his shirt. She said softly, ¡°Thank you for helping me today. I almost implicated you again. I really feel bad. Actually, I¡¯ve been in the countryside for the past few years and learned some acupuncture skills from an old doctor. I don¡¯t think you¡¯re completely blind. Can you let me help you with acupuncture? You might even regain your vision.¡± ¡°Regain my vision?¡± ¡°If the eyeball isn¡¯t damaged, it¡¯s not impossible. Acupuncture with Chinese medicine might work.¡± ¡°You know medicine?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked quietly, moving closer to her. He suddenly approached her, startling her. She couldn¡¯t help but take a step back and whisper, ¡°I¡¯m not very proficient. I know a little about it. However, I know of a female miracle doctor with superb medical skills. We can look for her. It might be effective.¡± ¡°Is the miracle doctor you mentioned called Bai Zhi?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked again in a low voice. Ye Ningxuan nodded. However, she quickly realized that he couldn¡¯t see, so she could only say, ¡°Yes, she¡¯s called Bai Zhi.¡± ¡°You know her?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not very familiar with her, but my mentor is from the same sect as her. I¡¯ve met her twice.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly. Zhan Hanjue straightened and said no more. Ye Ningxuan thought that from his expression, he seemed to have crossed paths with Bai Zhi before. But when she thought about it carefully, she didn¡¯t remember knowing him. ¡°Are you going to keep touching me?¡± Suddenly, Zhan Hanjue¡¯s voice rang out coldly. Ye Ningxuan was shocked and came back to her senses. Her hand was actually on his chest, touching his pecs. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to do that,¡± Ye Ningxuan apologized quickly. Blushing, she quickly retreated. It was all her fault for being lost in her thoughts and not noticing her actions. Zhan Hanjue walked grimly into the bathroom. His ears reddened slightly. Zhan Hanjue came out of the bathroom. Ye Ningxuan had already showered in the other room. Originally, she had wanted to stay in the other room. However, Old Madam Zhan was afraid that the two of them would separate. Not only did she move away the bed in the other room, but she also installed surveillance cameras in the room. Ye Ningxuan had no choice but to take a shower and return to Zhan Hanjue¡¯s room. She took her bedroll and laid it on the ground. Zhan Hanjue almost kicked her when he came out. Ye Ningxuan quickly reminded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll sleep on the floor tonight. I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°On the floor?¡± Zhan Hanjue sat down, his legs slightly apart. Because he was wearing a bathrobe, his long and muscular legs were exposed to Ye Ningxuan¡¯s line of sight. Ye Ningxuan sat on the ground from an angle and saw a place she shouldn¡¯t be looking at. She couldn¡¯t help but blush and look up at the ceiling on the right. ¡°I know that you don¡¯t like me. The reason why you agreed to keep me is only to appease Grandma and reassure her. Today, you found out that the Ye family can¡¯t tolerate me. They even want to kill me after learning that I¡¯m not disfigured. Therefore, I can¡¯t go back to the Ye family. I can only stay here and be protected by the Zhan family. Since you don¡¯t like me, I naturally won¡¯t be ignorant and dream of having sex with you. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you can let me stay by your side, I¡¯ll cooperate with you no matter what.¡± ¡°You¡¯re very self-aware, but I don¡¯t need a woman full of lies and evil intentions around me,¡± Zhan Hanjue snapped. Ye Ningxuan widened her eyes and immediately explained, ¡°I did play some tricks and used you to intimidate others today. But where did the evaluation of you being full of lies and having evil intentions come from? I hope you can tell me.¡± ¡°Sit over here.¡± Zhan Hanjue patted the bed to his right. Ye Ningxuan stood up from the ground and walked to the seat on his right. Zhan Hanjue suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her hard, forcing her down onto the bed. Ye Ningxuan was shocked. She thought that he was going to do something to her. She panicked and took out a silver needle. However, before she could stab him this time, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her other hand and moved it under his nose. ¡°Silver needle? Did you also use silver needles on the wedding night to make me fall asleep?¡± Zhan Hanjue exerted strength in his hand, almost crushing her wrist. Ye Ningxuan frowned in pain and immediately explained, ¡°I pricked you with a silver needle, but I just wanted you to sleep peacefully and did nothing. That acupoint won¡¯t hurt you at all. It just makes you sleep better.¡± ¡°But Grandma had our beds tidied up and found blood on them.¡± ¡°I cut my finger with a knife and smeared it on purpose. I just didn¡¯t want to upset Grandma. Old people¡­ they still care about things like that.¡± ¡°So nothing happened to us that night?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. ¡°Of course nothing happened. You were unconscious. How¡­¡± As Ye Ningxuan spoke, her eyes suddenly widened as she looked at him in disbelief. Perhaps it was her burning gaze that made Zhan Hanjue feel a sense of abnormality. Zhan Hanjue released her with a snort and sat with his back to her. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World .

Chen Tan reported, ¡°He was sent by Old Master Ye, but the driver refused to admit it. I¡¯ve checked the driver¡¯s background. He has been helping Old Master Ye.¡± ¡°Attacking his own granddaughter? Ye Pengcheng is interesting.¡± ¡°Boss, do we need to continue investigating?¡± Chen Tan asked. ¡°There¡¯s no need to investigate further. Ye Pengcheng is an old fox. Since he missed, he won¡¯t leave anything behind. However, go and find out why Ye Pengcheng hates Ye Ningxuan. After all, she¡¯s his granddaughter. There must be a reason why he didn¡¯t hesitate to kill her.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Also, Ye Ningxuan might know where Bai Zhi is,¡± Zhan Hanjue added. Chen Tan said in surprise, ¡°Really? That¡¯s great. Your eyes can be cured. Ask Young Madam where Bai Zhi is. I¡¯ll send someone to invite her over immediately.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to be in such a hurry. After searching for so many years, we don¡¯t care about this bit of time. It¡¯s better to find out her background first before making a decision. We don¡¯t know if she¡¯s an enemy or a friend yet. We can¡¯t act rashly,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Chen Tan nodded. In the garden. Butler Wu was directing the servants to water the flowers. Ye Ningxuan walked over. Butler Wu hurriedly greeted her respectfully, ¡°Hello, Young Madam.¡± The other servants greeted her respectfully. ¡°Hello, Young Madam.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded slightly and looked at the new flowers in the garden. She couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why did you suddenly transplant so many flowers? Does Grandma like them?¡± Zhan Hanjue definitely didn¡¯t like it. Zhan Hanjue was blind and probably had no interest in flowers. ¡°Old Madam is old and has long lost interest in flowers and grass. She transplanted them for you. You probably like flowers!¡± Butler Wu said with a smile. Ye Ningxuan chuckled. ¡°Of course. Who doesn¡¯t like beautiful flowers?¡± ¡°What kind of flowers does Young Madam like? I¡¯ll get someone to transplant some more in.¡± ¡°Peony! Only peony is truly beautiful. They¡¯re graceful, gorgeous, and extraordinary.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll order someone to buy the best peony variety. It will definitely satisfy Young Madam,¡± Butler Wu said quickly. Ye Ningxuan smiled and asked, ¡°Butler Wu, does Mr. Zhan have any interests or hobbies?¡± ¡°Interests? Probably business! Young Master is a business genius. His biggest hobby is to expand the scale and let the Zhan Corporation rise to the next level,¡± Butler Wu replied proudly. ¡°Then other than doing business, what else is he interested in? I don¡¯t mean anything else. I just want to know what he does for fun. After all, we¡¯re husband and wife. We have to understand each other.¡± Ye Ningxuan explained her actions. Butler Wu was touched. ¡°Young Madam is so considerate and treats Young Master so well. However, I¡¯m not too sure about Young Master¡¯s daily pastime. Young Master doesn¡¯t like to be close to others. Other than cleaning, he basically doesn¡¯t allow servants to enter his room. However, if Young Madam wants to know more about Young Master, you can start from his daily life. Young Master doesn¡¯t sleep well and hasn¡¯t had a peaceful sleep for many years.¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised. She suddenly understood why Zhan Hanjue thought she had done something to him on their wedding night. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks He hadn¡¯t slept peacefully in years, but she¡¯d put him to sleep. No wonder he found an excuse to leave the house the next day. He was probably afraid that she would harm him. It seemed that he hadn¡¯t slept well yesterday, either, when they had slept in the same room. No wonder she hadn¡¯t heard him breathing evenly until midnight. ¡°Young Madam.¡± At this moment, a footman in his twenties walked over and greeted Ye Ningxuan respectfully. Ye Ningxuan looked puzzled. Butler Wu explained, ¡°Young Madam, he¡¯s the servant sent to the Lin family to retrieve the jade pendant today.¡± ¡°Did you not retrieve the jade pendant?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. The male servant reported, ¡°I didn¡¯t see Young Madam Lin. It was Young Master Lin who met me. Young Master Lin asked me to pass a message to Young Madam. He arranged to meet you at Ruyi Pavilion in the afternoon. He will personally deliver the jade pendant.¡± Ye Ningxuan sneered. Lin Yuyang actually asked her out? Forget it. She wanted to see what Lin Yuyang was up to. ¡°Alright, I understand. Thank you for your hard work.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded. She went to her room to rest first and changed her clothes to go out for her appointment that afternoon. Butler Wu prepared the car for her, and the driver walked her downstairs. She told him to wait outside. She arrived at the appointed private room and knocked before entering. Lin Yuyang immediately stood up and looked at her in panic. Ye Ningxuan walked in and smiled. ¡°Mr. Lin.¡± Her smile was dazzling, like the sunlight shining in on an autumn afternoon. Lin Yuyang felt dizzy, and his heart was pounding. ¡°You¡¯re here. Hurry up and sit down. Order whatever you want to eat. The Lin family has shares in this restaurant. Eat whatever you want. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me.¡± Lin Yuyang handed Ye Ningxuan the menu. He didn¡¯t know what to say and could only incoherently try his best to say good things about her. Ye Ningxuan found it funny. She still remembered the first time she saw him that night. When he looked at her, the disdain in his eyes was so strong. In just a few days, his attitude was so different. ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re too polite. Actually, logically speaking, I should call you Brother-in-law. But why didn¡¯t my sister come with you? I thought that my sister wanted to bury the hatchet with me, so she wanted to personally give me the jade pendant.¡± ¡°Ye Xuan? Hmph, don¡¯t mention that woman. You¡¯re really too kind-hearted. The slander you suffered previously was all Ye Xuan¡¯s idea. If I had known that you¡­ I would never have agreed.¡± Lin Yuyang was filled with righteous indignation. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Slander? Second Sister¡¯s idea? Mr. Lin, what do you mean?¡± Ye Ningxuan looked surprised. Lin Yuyang explained to her bitterly, ¡°Actually, it was Ye Xuan¡¯s idea for your car to break down halfway and spend the night out with the driver. She didn¡¯t want to marry Zhan Hanjue, so she took the initiative to seduce me. Originally, I didn¡¯t agree. My mother and your mother were so close, and we were engaged when we were young. Have you forgotten that we played together when we were young? I¡¯ve always thought of you and can¡¯t forget you, but that woman schemed to frame you in order to get me. At that time, I broke off the engagement with you in a fit of anger and agreed to that woman¡¯s suggestion. I regret it so much now. Come back to me, okay? I promise I¡¯ll never abandon you again.¡± As Lin Yuyang spoke, he reached out to hold Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hand. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hands were too beautiful. They were slender and fair. From the moment he saw her just now, he couldn¡¯t help but feel tempted. He wanted to touch her beautiful hands. ¡°I see. Fortunately, the driver took pity on me and didn¡¯t do anything to me. I didn¡¯t expect my sister to be such a person.¡± Ye Ningxuan raised her hand to wipe her tears, causing Lin Yuyang to miss. Chapter 12 Lin Yuyang didn¡¯t succeed and immediately confessed to Ye Ningxuan, ¡°I really like you. I was deceived by Ye Xuan before. Give me another chance. I¡¯ll divorce Ye Xuan immediately and be with you.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, if my sister hears this, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll be very sad,¡± Ye Ningxuan said slowly. Lin Yuyang immediately shouted, ¡°Who cares if that vicious woman is sad or not? I¡¯ll divorce her when we get back. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely take revenge for you. I won¡¯t let you suffer easily.¡± ¡°Lin Yuyang, you bastard. You¡¯ve only been married to me for a few days, and you actually want to divorce me.¡± The door was kicked open from the outside and Ye Xuan rushed in. Lin Yuyang was stunned. Why was she here? ¡°Ye Ningxuan, you b*tch, how dare you seduce my husband?¡± Ye Xuan pointed at Ye Ningxuan and scolded. Ye Ningxuan frowned and looked at Lin Yuyang coldly. ¡°Mr. Lin, you took the initiative to ask me out today. Now that my sister has misunderstood, you¡¯re just going to sit back and ignore it? To think that I thought you were a good person just now.¡± When Lin Yuyang heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel his blood boil. He immediately rushed in front of Ye Xuan, pointed at her, and scolded, ¡°Ye Xuan, you shrew. What right do you have to criticize Ningwan? If you hadn¡¯t played tricks, Ningwan would have been my wife. How could I have married you?¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Lin Yuning, you heartless person. Was that my idea alone? You were the one who seduced me first. You were the one who told me that you didn¡¯t want to marry an ugly woman. Now you¡¯re blaming me? Do you think I want to marry you? If I had met Zhan Hanjue earlier, would I have married you?¡± ¡°You finally admit it. You haven¡¯t been yourself since we got home yesterday. You¡¯ve been looking at me with disdain. So you¡¯ve taken a fancy to Zhan Hanjue.¡± ¡°Hmph, what right do you have to criticize me? Aren¡¯t you the same? Didn¡¯t you keep thinking about that b*tch, Ye Ningxuan, when you went back yesterday? Why did you ask her out today?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m thinking about Ningwan. I regret marrying you. You¡¯d better divorce me quickly and we¡¯ll go our separate ways.¡± Lin Yuyang took the opportunity to bring up the divorce. Ye Xuan was furious. She had officially married into the Lin family. If they really divorced, how could she still have the dignity to stay in Jiang City in the future? ¡°Don¡¯t even think about getting a divorce. I¡¯m not going to let you get away with it. Bitch, I¡¯m going to rip your foxy face off.¡± Ye Xuan screamed and pounced at Ye Ningxuan. Lin Yuyang tried to stop her, but he couldn¡¯t. She pushed him into a nearby pillar. Ye Ningxuan was shocked and took out a silver needle. She was prepared to give Ye Xuan a shot when she rushed over. However, before she could do anything, another person rushed in from the door and grabbed Ye Xuan¡¯s wrist. With a strong swing, Ye Xuan spun like a top and screamed as she hit the door frame beside her. ¡°Are you injured?¡± The man threw Ye Xuan out and accurately found Ye Ningxuan¡¯s direction. Ye Ningxuan looked at him in surprise. She wondered why he was here. ¡°Are you hurt?¡± When she didn¡¯t answer, the man reached out to touch her. Ye Ningxuan reacted and immediately dodged to explain, ¡°No, I¡¯m just surprised that you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°I happened to be talking business next door. I heard the commotion and came over to take a look,¡± the man replied. Ye Ningxuan thought, ¡°What is a blind man like you doing here?¡± ¡°I heard your voice,¡± the man said again. Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. So he had come because he recognized her voice. She didn¡¯t expect him to care about her. ¡°Lin Yuyang, come and help me,¡± Ye Xuan shouted. Lin Yuyang didn¡¯t expect Zhan Hanjue to come as well. He was stunned! Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s cry, he reacted and subconsciously ran over to help her up. Ye Xuan touched her forehead. It was bleeding. She immediately cried in fear and shouted for Lin Yuyang to send her to the hospital. Lin Yuyang was already feeling guilty for secretly asking out someone else¡¯s wife, not to mention that this was Zhan Hanjue. He was still very afraid of him. Hence, he took the opportunity to help Ye Xuan leave quickly. ¡°Lin Yuyang, you haven¡¯t given me the jade pendant,¡± Ye Ningxuan shouted. However, Lin Yuyang ran faster than a rabbit. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip angrily and blamed Zhan Hanjue. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault for scaring him away. He hasn¡¯t given me the jade pendant yet.¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, aren¡¯t you being too bold?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression darkened. This woman was abominable. How dare she blame him for helping her? Ye Ningxuan was shocked and quickly apologized with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong.¡± Zhan Hanjue snorted and turned. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip and frowned in regret. How could she have forgotten this man¡¯s identity? ¡°Did you meet Lin Yuyang to ask him for the jade pendant?¡± After a while, the man questioned again. Ye Ningxuan thought that since he heard her voice, he must have been next door and heard her conversation with Lin Yuyang clearly. With a frank attitude, she immediately confessed, ¡°Yes, my main goal is to get back the jade pendant and sow discord between him and Ye Xuan. However, they set me up previously. I can¡¯t let them bully me for nothing.¡± Before she came, she had gotten someone to send a letter to Ye Xuan to let her know that Lin Yuyang had arranged to meet her here. Otherwise, why would Ye Xuan come looking for him? ¡°If you want revenge, beg me,¡± the man said. Ye Ningxuan smiled and immediately massaged his shoulders. ¡°I won¡¯t trouble Mr. Zhan with such a small matter. However, are you really here to discuss something? Or did Butler Wu tell you that I¡¯m meeting Lin Yuyang here, so you specially came over¡­¡± ¡°Come in,¡± Zhan Hanjue shouted. At this moment, another person walked in. The man was about thirty years old. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and was very handsome and refined. There was a faint smile on his lips and his eyes looked very gentle and amiable, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze. ¡°Miss Ye, you¡¯ve misunderstood President Zhan. I arranged to meet President Zhan here yesterday. I didn¡¯t expect to be lucky enough to meet Miss Ye today,¡± the man said with a smile. Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly at the man and nodded slightly in greeting. The man was swayed by her smile and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°It¡¯s rumored that the third daughter of the Ye family is extremely ugly. Indeed, rumors are harmful. If I knew that the third daughter was so beautiful, countless young talents in Jiang City would have come to propose marriage.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Well, there¡¯s nothing for you here. You can go out,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered him out coldly. The man was speechless. He was burning bridges too quickly. ¡°Miss Ye, my surname is Xia. I¡¯m Xia Wenyuan, the vice president of the Zhan Corporation. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡± Before the man left, he introduced himself with a smile. But as soon as he said that they would meet again, he saw Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression turn cold. Xia Wenyuan could only say awkwardly, ¡°Of course, we¡¯re definitely not fated.¡± Chapter 13 Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t get the jade pendant this time, nor did she see Lin Yuyang and Ye Xuan fight. She was extremely disappointed! Sighing, he said to Zhan Hanjue regretfully, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave. Please continue your discussion.¡± ¡°Come somewhere with me,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly. Ye Ningxuan frowned. ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when we get there.¡± Zhan Hanjue took her hand and led her downstairs. Usually, watching Zhan Hanjue move around at home would always make Ye Ningxuan wonder if he was really blind. She couldn¡¯t feel that there was something wrong with his eyes until they were outside now, in an unfamiliar place. Zhan Hanjue held her hand very tightly as they descended the stairs. They had been walking quickly, but he slowed considerably when they reached the landing. Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips and could only slow down. She let go of his hand and almost helped him downstairs with her arm. Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t ask her for help, and Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t expose the matter. In order not to embarrass him, Ye Ningxuan kept holding his arm as they got into the car. ¡°Ah, I forgot to tell the driver to go back first. He¡¯s still waiting for me in the car.¡± Ye Ningxuan suddenly remembered after getting into the car and let go of Zhan Hanjue¡¯s arm. Zhan Hanjue said, ¡°He has been informed to return home.¡± Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s good. Otherwise, he would have waited for nothing.¡± ¡°You are the young lady of the Zhan family,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. ¡°It is his job even if he waits a day.¡± Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t say anything. She secretly glanced at Zhan Hanjue and wondered where he was taking her. The car drove for about an hour before finally stopping. Ye Ningxuan saw that it was a Western-style villa. It was mainly pure white. The milky-white marble floor, fountains, and Western buildings all bespoke luxury. The driver opened the door for them. Zhan Hanjue got out of the car first and then ordered her, ¡°Get out.¡± Ye Ningxuan took another look and asked curiously, ¡°Where are we?¡± ¡°What, are you afraid I¡¯ll sell you off?¡± Zhan Hanjue scoffed. ¡°If you dare to sell me, Grandma won¡¯t let you off easily.¡± Ye Ningxuan wasn¡¯t afraid. Zhan Hanjue pulled a face. She knew how to keep him in line quite well. The bodyguard delivered Zhan Hanjue¡¯s cane again. Zhan Hanjue caught it and walked forward slowly with his cane. This was the first time Ye Ningxuan had seen him use a cane. She immediately followed him and walked to his side. She even took his arm. ¡°You don¡¯t have to hold me,¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°I¡¯m not supporting you. I¡¯m not familiar with this place. I¡¯m afraid. I feel safe with you.¡± A strange feeling passed through Zhan Hanjue. He stopped shooing her away and led her inside. ¡°Young Master is here. Sit down quickly. I¡¯ll report to Madam.¡± The servant greeted them warmly. After letting Zhan Hanjue sit down, he poured tea and then went to report to his master. Ye Ningxuan heard the servant call Zhan Hanjue ¡®Young Master¡¯. It seemed that Zhan Hanjue had a deep relationship with the master of this house. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have addressed him so intimately. Madam didn¡¯t come. Instead, a beautiful girl of about 18 or 19 years old came down first. She had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks. She was beautiful and delicate. After running down, she slowly walked over shyly and greeted Zhan Hanjue. ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re here.¡± Cousin? She was Zhan Hanjue¡¯s relative? Zhan Hanjue nodded, his expression neutral. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°That¡¯s not how cousins treat each other,¡± Ye Ningxuan thought. However, she recalled that Zhan Hanjue had a gloomy personality and was indifferent to her. It was normal for him to be indifferent to an adult cousin. However, this cousin was a little abnormal. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Zhan Hanjue shyly. How was that like looking at her cousin? It was like looking at her lover. Ye Ningxuan secretly laughed. Could it be an incestuous relationship? However, everyone knew that close relatives couldn¡¯t get married. Could it be that this young lady had never gone to school? ¡°Zhan Hanjue is here.¡± At this moment, another woman came downstairs. From the looks of it, she was only in her thirties or forties. However, Ye Ningxuan had seen countless people. She could still tell from the fine lines at the corners of her eyes that this woman was at least fifty years old. Zhan Hanjue stood up and also pulled Ye Ningxuan up. He greeted the woman respectfully, ¡°Aunt.¡± Aunt? Ye Ningxuan was surprised! She had asked someone to investigate Zhan Hanjue. It did say that he had an aunt who seemed to have married a businessman. Her husband had died young and had only one son. She was known as Mrs. Leng. It seemed that this was Mrs. Leng. ¡°This is your new wife?¡± Mrs. Leng looked at Ye Ningxuan quizzically. ¡°New wife? Isn¡¯t she ugly?¡± Her young cousin was shocked. ¡°Yes, she¡¯s Ye Ningxuan. It¡¯s all rumors,¡± Zhan Hanjue explained. ¡°I see. However, despite looking like this, there¡¯s actually such rumors. Looks like Miss Ye isn¡¯t as simple as she seems,¡± Mrs. Leng said mockingly. The younger cousin stamped her foot in anger and said sadly, ¡°Cousin, are you really married to her?¡± ¡°Linglong, be serious,¡± Mrs. Leng chided. Leng Linglong¡¯s eyes reddened. She felt embarrassed and turned to run. Ye Ningxuan was confused. What was going on with this family? But Mrs. Leng didn¡¯t like her. She could see that. After Mrs. Leng let Zhan Hanjue sit down, she said to Ye Ningxuan, ¡°I have something to discuss with Zhan Hanjue. Miss Ye, go out for a walk!¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled and nodded. She didn¡¯t want to sit here and suffer. The view outside was perfect. She was led by a servant to take a stroll in the garden. Unexpectedly, Miss Leng was also in the garden, sitting on the swing. Ye Ningxuan stopped and thought for a moment before walking towards Leng Linglong. ¡°Miss Leng,¡± Ye Ningxuan greeted her with a smile. Leng Linglong stopped and saw that it was her. She snorted angrily. ¡°What are you doing here? You¡¯re not welcome in our house.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t want to come either. Zhan Hanjue brought me here. What choice did I have?¡± Ye Ningxuan looked helpless. Leng Linglong became even angrier when she heard Zhan Hanjue¡¯s name. She said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because my cousin married you, he likes you. He just needs a woman to give him children. When you give birth, he¡¯ll abandon you.¡± ¡°Miss Leng, are you so angry because you like Zhan Hanjue? However, since he just wants to find a woman to have children with, why didn¡¯t he find Miss Leng? Oh, I remember now. Miss Leng and he are cousins. You guys can¡¯t have children.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled. Leng Linglong immediately shouted, ¡°Nonsense. I¡¯m not related to my cousin by blood. Mrs. Leng is my aunt.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°In that case, why didn¡¯t he marry you?¡± Ye Ningxuan deliberately teased. Leng Linglong said disdainfully, ¡°That¡¯s because Cousin¡¯s isn¡¯t good-fated. He¡¯s a jinx. My cousin refused to marry me because he was protecting me.¡± ¡°Then he¡¯s really good to you.¡± Ye Ningxuan said enviously, ¡°No wonder he warned me on the way here that if I see a beautiful and cute girl, I have to be respectful and polite. I can¡¯t make her angry.¡± ¡°Really? My cousin really said that?¡± Leng Linglong was excited, her face flushed. Ye Ningxuan nodded solemnly. ¡°Of course. Why would I lie to you? There¡¯s nothing to gain.¡± Chapter 14 Leng Linglong originally hated Ye Ningxuan very much and felt that she had snatched Zhan Hanjue away. But now that she¡¯d heard what she¡¯d said, she instantly liked her. She quickly pulled her to a seat. ¡°Tell me quickly. What did Cousin tell you about me?¡± Ye Ningxuan chuckled and said slowly, ¡°We just met and aren¡¯t particularly familiar with each other. Since we got married, he hasn¡¯t been with me. He only brought me along today. He didn¡¯t say much. He just said that there¡¯s a beautiful and cute girl here who¡¯s very important to him. He told me to be respectful and polite and not make her angry. Otherwise, he¡¯ll make me kneel on the washboard when I go back and won¡¯t give me food.¡± Leng Linglong couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Then, he said proudly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be afraid. My cousin is just scaring you. He usually doesn¡¯t like to talk to people. He won¡¯t make you kneel on the washboard or not give you food. Besides, I won¡¯t complain to my cousin that you made me angry.¡± ¡°Thank you so much, Miss Leng.¡± Ye Ningxuan was grateful. Leng Linglong said proudly, ¡°Sure, sure. You just have to listen to me in the future. I¡¯ll definitely put in a good word for you in front of my cousin and not let him punish you easily.¡± ¡°Miss Leng, you¡¯re so beautiful and kind. You and Mr. Zhan are a match made in heaven.¡± ¡°You think so too? I¡¯ve always thought so too.¡± Leng Linglong became happier and more pleased with herself. She found Ye Ningxuan more pleasing to the eye. Ye Ningxuan sighed pitifully. ¡°To be honest, Miss Leng, the Ye family can¡¯t tolerate me, so they made me marry into the Zhan family. I live in fear and trepidation every day. I just want to live. However, Mr. Zhan doesn¡¯t have a good temper. Of course, you think that he has a good temper, but it¡¯s different for me. Therefore, I don¡¯t know what to do. Can Miss Leng give me some pointers and help me?¡± ¡°But I rarely spend time with my cousin. He doesn¡¯t like to come here. The old lady probably asked him to come over today.¡± Leng Linglong was troubled. ¡°Isn¡¯t Mrs. Leng Mr. Zhan¡¯s aunt? Why isn¡¯t Mr. Zhan happy to come?¡± Ye Ningxuan wondered. Leng Linglong shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about the details. It seems¡­ to be related to the car accident thirteen years ago. My cousin¡¯s father died in that car accident, and my cousin lost his sight in that car accident. At that time, someone suspected that Auntie was the one who did it. Hmph, how is that possible? Auntie is my cousin¡¯s biological aunt. How could she do anything to her younger brother and nephew? Maybe my cousin took these words to heart, so he didn¡¯t like to come to the Leng family¡¯s home.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes darkened. Was the car accident back then also related to the Leng family? ¡°Sometimes, I wonder if my cousin still thinks that it has something to do with the Leng family, so he¡¯s unwilling to marry me.¡± Leng Linglong sighed. Ye Ningxuan came back to her senses and looked at her disappointed expression. She smiled and comforted her. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much about it. Didn¡¯t you say that Mr. Zhan wanted to marry a woman like me who he didn¡¯t care about because he was destined to be alone? Of course he couldn¡¯t bear to let you take the risk.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. In that case, you¡¯ve become my benefactor. Don¡¯t worry, if you accidentally die, I¡¯ll definitely bury you well,¡± Leng Linglong promised. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank you in advance. However, you just said that Mr. Zhan¡¯s eyes were blinded that time. What happened?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked again. Leng Linglong said, ¡°I know that. I heard from Auntie that after the car accident, my cousin was seriously injured. When he woke up, he couldn¡¯t see. The old lady cried for a long time. She found many famous doctors and even went overseas for treatment, but it was useless. Two years ago, I heard that there was a divine doctor called Bai Zhi that my cousin has been sending people to look for, but there has been no news.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled. It turned out that Zhan Hanjue had never seen Bai Zhi and was only looking for her. Great. She could use this opportunity to ask him some things. ¡°Ye Ningxuan.¡± A sudden shout startled Ye Ningxuan and Leng Linglong. They both looked up quickly and saw that Zhan Hanjue had arrived with his butler. Ye Ningxuan quickly stood up and walked towards Zhan Hanjue. ¡°You¡¯re done speaking to your aunt? Are we going back?¡± ¡°Cousin, I was chatting with Miss Ye. She¡¯s really a good person. Don¡¯t punish her when you go back.¡± Leng Linglong ran over and pleaded for Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. Why did this girl really say such things? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Indeed. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression turned cold. He turned to Ye Ningxuan and said in a low and cold voice, ¡°Punish?¡± Ye Ningxuan explained with a smile, ¡°Miss Leng and I hit it off at first sight. Miss Leng is just worried about me.¡± Zhan Hanjue snorted. Leng Linglong couldn¡¯t help but reach out to take Zhan Hanjue¡¯s hand. ¡°Cousin, you weren¡¯t here at noon¡­¡± However, as soon as she touched him, she was ruthlessly shaken off by Zhan Hanjue. Leng Linglong was slender. When he flung her, she staggered and almost fell. She bit her lip and looked at Zhan Hanjue pitifully. She was about to cry. Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and accused Zhan Han, ¡°Miss Leng simply likes you. You¡¯re too heartless.¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s face fell again. He said nothing. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. ¡°It hurts. Let go of me,¡± Ye Ningxuan shouted in pain. But Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression was dark and he didn¡¯t say a word. He didn¡¯t let go of her until he had stuffed her into the car. Ye Ningxuan was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. Before she could check if her wrist was bruised, she was strangled by Zhan Hanjue. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes widened. Could it be that he wanted to kill her? One hand went to the silver needle. However, as if he had a third eye, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her hand that was about to touch the silver needle. ¡°Do you think that if I¡¯ve suffered once, I¡¯ll suffer again?¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly as he approached her. Ye Ningxuan tried to break free, but she couldn¡¯t. A wise man knows when to retreat. She could only squeeze her eyes hard, intending to squeeze out a few tears to gain sympathy. But then she remembered that he was blind and couldn¡¯t see her crying. Hence, she could only plead coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, what did I do wrong to make you so angry? Tell me, I promise I won¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t try to wheedle with me.¡± Not only did Zhan Hanjue not soften, but he even tightened his grip. Ye Ningxuan felt like she couldn¡¯t breathe. She was suffocating. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only She knew that if he used more strength, he would strangle her. Her mind raced as she continued to plead in a weak voice, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you kill me¡­ If Grandma finds out¡­ she¡¯ll definitely be very sad. The last time I¡­ looked at Grandma¡­ I found that her health isn¡¯t good, right?! It doesn¡¯t matter if I die, but I¡¯m afraid¡­ Grandma won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± As expected, at the mention of Old Madam Zhan, Zhan Hanjue¡¯s grip loosened. Ye Ningxuan continued, ¡°Besides, I know you¡¯re looking for Bai Zhi. I know her whereabouts. Let me go and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± ¡°Okay, deal.¡± Zhan Hanjue finally let go. Chapter 15 Ye Ningxuan hurriedly covered her neck and coughed hard. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. ¡°My neck must be red,¡± she thought. Her skin was so delicate that it would normally change color at the slightest touch. It would be strange if it didn¡¯t turn red from the pinch. But then she thought of something else. This man¡­ just now¡­ could it be that he did it on purpose to make her agree to help him find Bai Zhi? Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. What a cunning person. And the man whose plot had succeeded was already sitting upright. The car started to drive them home. After Zhan Hanjue returned to his room, Butler Wu found Ye Ningxuan and said, ¡°Young Madam, the Lin family has sent someone to deliver the jade pendant.¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised and quickly took the brocade box from Butler Wu. She opened it and saw that it was indeed a carved peony jade pendant. She hadn¡¯t seen it for many years, but she could still recognize it at a glance. It was her mother¡¯s jade pendant. ¡°Why did the Lin family¡­ suddenly send it over?¡± Lin Yuyang and Ye Xuan didn¡¯t seem like people who would take the initiative to send the jade pendant over. ¡°Young Master sent someone to retrieve it. The Lin family wouldn¡¯t dare to refuse,¡± Butler Wu replied. Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. Did that person¡­ want to make it up to her?¡¯ Compensation for strangling her? Regardless, she was grateful to Zhan Hanjue. This jade pendant belonged to her mother. After her parents passed away, her parents¡¯ belongings were taken by her uncle and his wife. It was fine if it was something else, but she had to get this jade pendant back. Knock, knock, knock. ¡°Enter.¡± Ye Ningxuan pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Zhan Hanjue sitting at his desk and listening to the report, she coughed lightly and said, ¡°I got the jade pendant. Thank you.¡± ¡°You earned it,¡± the man said coolly. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°I¡¯ll keep my promise and help you find Bai Zhi as soon as possible. However, Bai Zhi has a rule. She asks for payment after treatment.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll naturally prepare generous payment.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not payment,¡± Ye Ningxuan said. ¡°The reward Bai Zhi asks for could be money, a message, or an item. It¡¯s uncertain. If you want her to treat you, you have to be prepared to give any reward.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give her any reward if she can heal my eyes,¡± Zhan Hanjue promised. Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call and ask my relatives and friends back home if they¡¯ve heard from her recently.¡± Then she turned and left. After Ye Ningxuan turned around, Zhan Hanjue looked up at her back, his gaze darkening slightly. ¡°Young Madam, Old Madam invites you over.¡± Ye Ningxuan had just come out of Zhan Hanjue¡¯s room when she bumped into Mrs. Chen. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks What did the old lady want with her? Ye Ningxuan was surprised, but she still smiled and followed Mrs. Chen. Old Madam Zhan was organizing her jewelry in her room. When she saw Ye Ningxuan coming over, she smiled and waved. ¡°Come quickly. I¡¯m organizing these. See if there¡¯s anything you like. Pick a few.¡± Ye Ningxuan glanced at them. They were all expensive jewelry. She quickly smiled and said, ¡°Grandma, these are all your treasures. Keep them for yourself!¡± ¡°Take your pick, child. Won¡¯t all my things be yours sooner or later?¡± Old Madam Zhan said gently. Ye Ningxuan thought to herself, ¡®That¡¯s not necessarily true. I won¡¯t stay in the Zhan family forever.¡¯ However, she didn¡¯t turn down the old lady¡¯s kind offer. She casually picked up the most inconspicuous and worthless bracelet and said, ¡°This one will do! Thank you, Grandma.¡± Old Madam Zhan said in surprise, ¡°Ningxuan, you¡¯re really good at picking. Hanjue bought this for me. He bought it on his fifteenth birthday. He said it looked beautiful, so he bought it for me.¡± ¡°Ah, it¡¯s actually¡­ something that Zhan Hanjue gave to you. I can¡¯t accept it.¡± Ye Ningxuan hurriedly returned it. Old Madam Zhan stuffed it into her hand. ¡°Take it. How can such a bracelet be suitable for me? If I leave it here, it¡¯ll just gather dust. The two of you are indeed a match made in heaven. Even your taste is the same.¡± Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. Old Madam Zhan sighed again. ¡°Unfortunately, from then on, Hanjue couldn¡¯t see anymore. He couldn¡¯t see anything beautiful, and he never gave me a gift again. If only he could see again one day, he would be able to see you and know what a beautiful wife he had married.¡± ¡°Grandma, Hanjue is looking for the divine doctor, Bai Zhi. Coincidentally, I know Bai Zhi¡¯s whereabouts. When we find her, she¡¯ll definitely cure his eyes.¡± Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t bear to see the old lady so sad and comforted her gently. Old Madam Zhan¡¯s face lit up. She quickly held Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Really? You know Bai Zhi¡¯s whereabouts? Hanjue has been looking for her for a long time, but he hasn¡¯t heard from her.¡± Ye Ningxuan explained, ¡°Bai Zhi used to live in our countryside. My face¡­ was cured by her.¡± ¡°Her medical skills are indeed superb. Look at your face. There¡¯s no scar at all,¡± Old Madam Zhan praised. Then, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°You and Hanjue are really a match made in heaven. Not only did you make Hanjue and I satisfied, but you can also help Hanjue find a miracle doctor. When Hanjue¡¯s eyes recover, the two of you will be so compatible.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded with a smile. Old Madam Zhan pulled her aside to say something more personal. Ye Ningxuan suddenly thought of Leng Linglong¡¯s words and said softly, ¡°Zhan Hanjue brought me to see Mrs. Leng today, but I don¡¯t think Aunt likes me very much.¡± Old Madam Zhan¡¯s face stiffened. She slowly released her hand and said, ¡°That¡¯s just how she is. Don¡¯t lower yourself to her level. She doesn¡¯t like anyone. She likes her own son the most.¡± Ye Ningxuan frowned. Old Madam Zhan¡¯s reaction wasn¡¯t right. She was Mrs. Leng¡¯s mother, but she didn¡¯t seem to be affectionate. Was that also because of the rumor? Ye Ningxuan was puzzled. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only After coming out of Old Madam Zhan¡¯s room, she was silent for a while. Suddenly, she said to Mrs. Chen, who had sent her out, ¡°Mrs. Chen, I just told Grandma that Aunt doesn¡¯t seem to like me very much. Grandma doesn¡¯t look too happy. Did I make Grandma angry?¡± Mrs. Chen was stunned, then quickly smiled. ¡°No, Old Madam likes you. Why would she be angry with you?¡± ¡°But I said that Aunt doesn¡¯t like me. Aunt is Grandma¡¯s daughter. I¡¯m basically badmouthing Aunt. It makes sense that Grandma is unhappy.¡± Ye Ningxuan lowered her head, as if she felt very guilty. She looked fragile and pitiful in the first place. Now that she had such an expression, it made people pity her even more. Mrs. Chen couldn¡¯t bear to see her like this and quickly advised her, ¡°Young Madam, you¡¯re worrying too much. The old lady won¡¯t be angry with you because of Mrs. Leng. Mrs. Leng¡­ she¡¯s not the old lady¡¯s biological daughter. The two of them haven¡¯t seen each other for more than ten years.¡± Chapter 16 Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t expect that Mrs. Leng wasn¡¯t Old Madam Zhan¡¯s biological daughter. Thinking of the rumors Leng Linglong had told her, she sent someone to investigate the Leng family. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, the Leng family probably had something to do with that car accident. ¡°Young Madam, Madam Lin is here to see you.¡± The butler knocked on the door and reported respectfully. ¡°Mrs. Lin?¡± Ye Ningxuan was stunned for a moment while thinking that he was talking about Ye Xuan. How dare that girl come to her? ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right there,¡± said Ye Ningxuan. She specially changed into beautiful clothes and even put on the jewelry that Old Madam Zhan had given her. She dressed up beautifully and went to see Ye Xuan. However, when she reached the hall, she saw Fu Wenfang sitting in the hall. It turned out that the Mrs. Lin the butler was talking about wasn¡¯t Ye Xuan, but Lin Yuyang¡¯s mother. ¡°Auntie, you¡¯re here.¡± Ye Ningxuan hesitated for a moment before walking over with a smile. Mrs. Lin looked up at her and saw her walking in gracefully, just like Tang Xiaowan back then. Her hand slipped and she dropped her teacup. The clatter startled Mrs. Lin. She instantly apologized in a panic, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. My hand slipped.¡± ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s fine. Clean up this place.¡± Ye Ningxuan called for a servant to clean up. Mrs. Lin was even more ashamed. She had come to his house as a guest, but she had lost her composure. This was the first time she had done this at her age. But¡­ She looked at Ye Ningxuan¡¯s face and sighed with tears in her eyes. ¡°Ningxuan, you look so much like your mother. Back then, your mother was also so beautiful and charming. Many people fell head over heels for her and yearned for her dearly. Unfortunately, she passed away so early.¡± Since Mrs. Lin took the initiative to mention it, Ye Ningxuan took the opportunity to ask, ¡°What exactly happened to my parents during the car accident back then?¡± ¡°Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± Mrs. Lin was surprised. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I went to the Leng family¡¯s house with Hanjue yesterday. I heard that Mrs. Leng and Hanjue aren¡¯t very close. There¡¯s a rumor that Mrs. Leng had something to do with Hanjue¡¯s father¡¯s car accident. Auntie, you said that my parents¡¯ car accident and Hanjue¡¯s father¡¯s car accident happened together, so I was curious.¡± Mrs. Lin panicked and quickly put her index finger to her lips in a shushing gesture. ¡°Ningxuan, don¡¯t say these words in the Zhan family.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded. ¡°I know, Auntie. I¡¯m just asking you.¡± Mrs. Lin sized her up and sighed softly. ¡°Actually, Yuyang told me everything when we got back. The injury on your face has long healed, and you were deliberately testing him. It was our family who didn¡¯t withstand the test. Yuyang regretted it and asked me to tell you in hopes that you could leave with me. However, he was scolded by me. The two of you are already married, so how can you be together? He was the one who was muddle-headedl He¡¯s too delusional.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°He and my second sister have feelings for each other. It can be considered fate,¡± said Ye Ningxuan. Mrs. Lin shook her head. She seemed to know her son and daughter-in-law very well and couldn¡¯t be bothered to comment. ¡°Now that I see you living so well, I feel at ease. I¡¯ve let Xiaowan down. I¡¯ve always felt guilty about it. I promised her to take good care of you, but I couldn¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°Auntie, you don¡¯t have to be sad. My mother wouldn¡¯t blame Auntie, and neither will I.¡± Ye Ningxuan took her hand. Mrs. Lin¡¯s eyes were red. She couldn¡¯t help but wipe her tears with her other hand. ¡°Auntie, I don¡¯t want to bring up sad matters. It¡¯s just that the circumstances of my parents¡¯ death is really strange. Back then, I was still young and didn¡¯t know anything. Now that I¡¯m older, I know that so many years have passed, but I still want to know the truth. Can you tell me everything you know?¡± Ye Ningxuan pleaded again. Mrs. Lin said, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to tell you because I was afraid that you would feel bad about it. Actually¡­ actually, back then, your parents¡­ might have been implicated by the Zhan family.¡± ¡°Implicated by the Zhan family?¡± Mrs. Lin nodded. ¡°Back then, when your parents took you out on a trip, they had originally arranged that we would take the children to a farm in the nearby city for a vacation. Because something suddenly happened, I let your parents go first and set off later. Unexpectedly, when your parents were driving, they suddenly encountered a large truck coming from the opposite side. At that time, there was another car that was driving side by side with your parents. It was the Zhan family¡¯s car. In short, I don¡¯t know whose car hit the large truck first and implicated other cars, but the two cars flipped into a deep pit together. Your parents died at the scene. When you were found, half of your face was badly wounded and you were unconscious in a place far away. Meanwhile, your parents¡¯ car had already exploded and there wasn¡¯thing left of their bodies. The Zhan family¡¯s car had also exploded. I don¡¯t know how Zhan Hanjue got out, but he was taken away by the Zhan family and you were sent to the hospital by the police. Later, I heard some rumors that there was an internal conflict within the Zhan family. The Mrs. Leng you mentioned is Zhan Hanjue¡¯s aunt, who was at odds with Zhan Hanjue¡¯s father at the time. Some people say that the Leng family sent someone to do it, but there is no evidence, and they are biological siblings, so perhaps, it is just a rumor.¡± After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, ¡°These things have already passed. Don¡¯t take them to heart. That was the rumor back then, but no one knows what exactly happened. Don¡¯t think that your parents¡¯ deaths are related to the Zhan family and have conflict with Zhan Hanjue.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled. ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not such a muddle-headed person. You already said that it¡¯s just a rumor. It¡¯s still unclear what happened. It¡¯s been so long, so I¡¯m just asking.¡± Only then did Mrs. Lin heave a sigh of relief. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t pursue the matter.¡± ¡°Young Madam, Young Master invites you over.¡± The butler walked over and reminded Ye Ningxuan. Mrs. Lin quickly stood up. ¡°Since you still have something on, I¡¯ll leave first. Seeing that you¡¯re doing well, I¡¯m relieved.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. Why was Zhan Hanjue looking for her? However, she didn¡¯t ask her to stay. She sent Mrs. Lin off. After Mrs. Lin left, Ye Ningxuan walked towards Zhan Hanjue¡¯s house and asked Butler Wu, ¡°Do you know why Young Master is looking for me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. The young master only asked you to go over,¡± Butler Wu said respectfully. Ye Ningxuan frowned. She walked to the door and knocked. After getting permission, she pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Without looking up, Zhan Hanjue asked coldly, ¡°Has Fu Wenfang left?¡± ¡°You mean Aunt Lin? Yes, you were looking for me, so she left first,¡± Ye Ningxuan replied. ¡°What did she say?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. ¡°Nothing. We just talked and reminisced.¡± ¡°What that woman said can¡¯t be trusted.¡± Chapter 17 ¡°How do you know she can¡¯t be trusted?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Zhan Hanjue said grimly, ¡°Believe it or not.¡± Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. ¡°I didn¡¯t say I didn¡¯t believe you.¡± What a big temper! However, she quickly thought about it and realized that they were the only ones who survived the car accident. Both cars had exploded, but she lay unconscious outside them. Zhan Hanjue was fine. So who carried her out of the car to avoid the explosion?¡¯ Unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t remember any of those things. The accident hadn¡¯t only ruined her appearance, but also made her forget a lot of things. She had only slowly remembered some of her childhood, but she had no recollection of anything that had happened during the accident. However, she was only six years old at the time. It was normal for her to be frightened and not remember. But Zhan Hanjue was already 15 years old. He should still remember what happened back then! Thinking of a possibility, she probed, ¡°Actually, you also know that you and I were the only two people who survived the car accident! How much do you remember about that car accident?¡± Zhan Hanjue looked up. He looked no different from a normal person if one didn¡¯t look closely at his dilated pupils. Almost everyone would be fooled by his appearance and think he was normal. ¡°Did you marry me because you want to know the truth about the car accident all those years ago?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked grimly. Ye Ningxuan trembled. He guessed it right. ¡°Of course not. I didn¡¯t know at the time that you were also a survivor of a car accident. I was young at the time and couldn¡¯t remember what had happened. It was only when Aunt Lin mentioned it that I found out that you were in the other car. Aunt Lin said that when they rescued me, the police realized that I was farther away from the car so that I wasn¡¯t affected by the explosion.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t think I saved you, do you?¡± Zhan Hanjue snorted. The thought had indeed crossed his mind, but now that he looked so cold and ruthless, it was dispelled. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s not the case. I was thinking that if you saved me, we would really be a match made in heaven. It¡¯s fate.¡± Ye Ningxuan shook her head regretfully. Actually, she was overjoyed. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t her savior. Otherwise, she would be too embarrassed to keep lying to him! ¡°You climbed out of the car. When I woke up, I saw a big bug trying to get out. By the time I got out, you¡¯d gone a long way,¡± said Zhan Hanjue. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. He was a bug. His entire family were bugs. ¡°I see. Thank you for telling me the truth.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled and thanked him. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. Instead of reminiscing about the past, why don¡¯t you find out Bai Zhi¡¯s whereabouts as soon as possible? I want to find her as soon as possible,¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly. Ye Ningxuan thought, ¡°You¡¯ve been blind for more than ten years. Why are you suddenly so anxious?¡± However, she still said, ¡°I¡¯ll naturally try my best to do what I promised you. I called my hometown yesterday and there¡¯s already some news. We can set off to find Bai Zhi in two days.¡± ¡°Set off? To find Bai Zhi? You mean we¡¯re going over instead of inviting her over?¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. Ye Ningxuan sneered. ¡°Mr. Zhan, who do you think Bai Zhi is? If she can be easily invited, she wouldn¡¯t be the Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to go?¡± Ye Ningxuan raised her eyebrows. ¡°If you think it¡¯s troublesome, then forget it. I also think it¡¯s troublesome.¡± Zhan Hanjue lowered his voice. ¡°I am busy. I need some time to prepare.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°OK, I¡¯m not in a hurry anyway.¡± Ye Ningxuan shrugged. ¡°Go out,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered. Ye Ningxuan stood up to leave. That night, Zhan Hanjue stayed out all night again, working in his study. Actually, Zhan Hanjue had been like this for the past few days, and Ye Ningxuan was already used to it. It was good that he wasn¡¯t coming back at night. She could occupy such a comfortable bed alone. But the news had somehow reached the old lady. The next morning, Mrs. Chen came to look for Ye Ningxuan, saying that the old lady was looking for her. Ye Ningxuan was puzzled. Didn¡¯t she look for her yesterday? Why did she call her over again today? Was she going to give her jewelry again? ¡°I heard that Zhan Hanjue slept in the study again last night,¡± said Old Madam Zhan as soon as she spoke. So she wasn¡¯t going to give her a gift, but to denounce her. She immediately put on an aggrieved look. She lowered her head slightly and said in a choked voice, ¡°Grandma, I know you must blame me for not doing my duty as a wife. But regarding this matter¡­ I¡¯m really aggrieved. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know Zhan Hanjue¡¯s personality. He won¡¯t stay just because I want him to.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not blaming you.¡± Mrs. Zhan softened and quickly took her hand to comfort her. ¡°I know you¡¯re aggrieved. I¡¯m just asking. You don¡¯t have to cry.¡± ¡°Grandma, I know you don¡¯t blame me. You¡¯re the best. It¡¯s my blessing to be able to come out of that ruthless Ye family and marry into a family like the Zhan family. Unfortunately, I¡¯m unlucky and can¡¯t please Zhan Hanjue. I¡¯m useless and I¡¯ve disappointed Grandma.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all his fault for beng blind. If he had regained his sight, how could he not be tempted when he saw a beauty like you?¡± Old Madam Zhan said regretfully. Ye Ningxuan comforted her, ¡°Grandma, you don¡¯t have to be sad. I¡¯m also actively looking for a miracle doctor. I hope that Zhan Hanjue will regain his sight soon and that we can live a normal life.¡± ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need to wait until you guys find the divine doctor. He can only lead a normal life if he sees you. I have a method here that you can try.¡± Old Madam Zhan smiled mysteriously. Ye Ningxuan was stunned. Could this old lady mean that sort of thing? She was already so old, so why was she¡­? ¡°Give this to Zhan Hanjue to drink and make sure he stays in your room.¡± Old Madam Zhan shoved a small porcelain bottle at her. Ye Ningxuan said awkwardly, ¡°Grandma, that¡¯s not good! What if it¡¯s harmful to the body¡­¡± ¡°Zhan Hanjue is my biological grandson. Why would I harm him? Don¡¯t worry, this is harmless. The old Chinese physician who treats me gave this to me. In the past, those concubines in the palace often used it. It¡¯s just for fun. It can¡¯t be harmful to the body.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly. No wonder the former emperors died early. They must have been killed by this thing. Since she said so, she was too embarrassed to refuse. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t she expose her intentions? She took the small bottle and left. As soon as she went out, she opened it and smelled it. Lascivious sheep stalks, leek seeds, dried ginger, mussels, deer antler, and ginseng were all inside. They were indeed all aphrodisiac items. That old Chinese doctor wasn¡¯t just for show. However, if Zhan Hanjue really drank so much of this, his nose would probably bleed. However, if she didn¡¯t use it on him, it would be difficult to explain to Old Madam Zhan. Ye Ningxuan was extremely conflicted. Chapter 18 ¡°You wanted to see me?¡± At night, Ye Ningxuan sat in her room and thought about how to invite Zhan Hanjue back. She didn¡¯t expect him to take the initiative to come back. Ye Ningxuan was overjoyed, but she pretended to be shocked. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t look for you.¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. ¡°Mrs. Chen said you needed me for something.¡± Ye Ningxuan quickly got up and walked to the door. As expected, when she stuck her head out, she saw Mrs. Chen standing in the corridor, looking like she was ready to eavesdrop. Ye Ningxuan had no choice but to close the door. She turned around and said to Zhan Hanjue, ¡°I¡¯m not the one looking for you. Grandma asked you to come over. As for the reason¡­ I¡¯m sure you can guess it even if I don¡¯t say it. Grandma is waiting to have a great-grandson. You always sleep in the study. How can she not be anxious?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s frown deepened. Ye Ningxuan quickly explained, ¡°I¡¯m not the one who complained to Grandma. I have no objections if you don¡¯t come back, but you know what the old lady is thinking. I can¡¯t do anything about it. What do you think we should do? Mrs. Chen is still outside the door. She¡¯s probably waiting to eavesdrop.¡± ¡°Did Grandmama give you something?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan thought, ¡®You really know your grandmother.¡¯ ¡°Yes, a bottle¡­ It¡¯s said that it used to be a tonic for the emperor. Grandma said that you can drink it in a cup.¡± Ye Ningxuan took out the small porcelain bottle. Scowling, Zhan Hanjue snatched it away. ¡°Confiscated.¡± ¡°Whatever.¡± So be it. She didn¡¯t care for it anyway. ¡°What are you wearing on your wrist?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked, suddenly grabbing her wrist. When he¡¯d snatched the bottle earlier, he¡¯d accidentally touched her wrist. The bracelet on her wrist had clinked. He should have heard it. Ye Ningxuan quickly explained, ¡°It¡¯s a bracelet. Grandma gave it to me. She said that it was a gift from you. I didn¡¯t want it at first, but Grandma insisted on giving it to me.¡± ¡°Keep it on!¡± Zhan Hanjue released her hand. Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief. His grip was so strong that it hurt. ¡°You said Mrs. Chen was outside the door?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan nodded and said, ¡°She¡¯s still in the corridor now. She should be back to listen to the conversation later. What should we do? It¡¯s best if you explain to Grandma that you really don¡¯t like me. I don¡¯t think she will make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m already here,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. ¡°Huh?¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised. The next thing she knew, she was on the bed with him. By the time she realized what was happening, he was on top of her. They were no more than five centimeters apart. ¡°What¡­ what do you want?¡± Ye Ningxuan was flustered and her cheeks were red. Zhan Hanjue lowered his voice and said, ¡°Make Grandmother stop worrying.¡± ¡°If you want to make Grandmother stop worrying, why are you pressing on me? Don¡¯t tell me you want to do it!¡± Ye Ningxuan asked in horror. Zhan Hanjue smirked. This was the first time Ye Ningxuan saw him smile, and she was immediately stunned. He was too handsome! She¡¯d known from the first moment she¡¯d laid eyes on Zhan Hanjue that he was extremely handsome. She¡¯d never seen someone so striking. She¡¯d wanted to reach out and touch him. She thought she¡¯d gotten used to his handsomeness after all that time. To her surprise, when he smiled, it was like spring flowers blooming, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel her heart flutter. But at least he was rational enough not to act impulsively. ¡°Why are you laughing? Do you really think so? Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t interested in me?¡± Ye Ningxuan nervously touched the silver needle. ¡°Don¡¯t move. It¡¯s just for show.¡± Zhan Hanjue moved closer, almost breathing into her ear. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s face turned even redder, and her heart couldn¡¯t help but thump. It was one thing to have such a face, but to have such a beautiful voice was a foul. It seemed that the heavens wanted to take away his eyes so that ordinary people could stand a chance. ¡°Do you want me to moan?¡± Since it was an act, she had to do it properly. ¡°You can moan?¡± Zhan Hanjue raised his eyebrows. ¡°Tsk.¡± Ye Ningxuan curled her lips in disdain. Just because she hadn¡¯t done so before didn¡¯t mean she didn¡¯t know how to? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks He was underestimating her. ¡°Uh-huh¡­ Honey, slow down. You¡¯re hurting me. Uh-huh¡­¡± Ye Ningxuan acted coyly. Zhan Hanjue was speechless. He coughed lightly and his ears turned red. He immediately rolled off her and lay on the side while taking deep breaths. When Mrs. Chen heard these sounds, she couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and giggle. She didn¡¯t expect Young Madam to be so wild even though she looked so demure and proper. It seemed like the young master of the Zhan family would be born soon. Mrs. Chen smiled and left quietly to report the good news to the old lady. ¡°She¡¯s already gone.¡± Zhan Hanjue suddenly reached out to cover Ye Ningxuan¡¯s mouth. If she continued to moan, he might not be able to take it. ¡°Gone? How did you know?¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised. Zhan Hanjue scoffed. ¡°You¡¯ve studied medicine. Don¡¯t you know that blind people have excellent hearing?¡± ¡°Ahem, when you¡¯re done, we¡¯ll go find Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi,¡± Ye Ningxuan comforted awkwardly. However, she was still worried that Mrs. Chen hadn¡¯t left. She got out of bed and opened the door to look outside. As expected, there was no one outside. Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Zhan Hanjue. ¡°She has indeed left. You can return to the study.¡± ¡°Grandmama will be suspicious if I return to my study now,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. ¡°So¡­ you plan to¡­ sleep here tonight?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked suspiciously. ¡°This is my room, my bed,¡± Zhan Hanjue reminded her. Ye Ningxuan smiled. ¡°Of course I know this is your room and your bed. I¡¯m just asking. Fine, let¡¯s sleep! I¡¯ll sleep on the floor.¡± She went to the cupboard for a blanket and spread it on the floor. It wasn¡¯t as if she hadn¡¯t slept on the floor. What was there to be afraid of? But ¡­ she hadn¡¯t showered yet today. And when Zhan Hanjue came in, he seemed misty. He must have showered. She was used to showering every day. She really couldn¡¯t sleep without showering. If she went next door to shower, the old lady would probably find out. ¡°Are you going to sleep or not?¡± Ye Ningxuan tossed and turned. It was torture for Zhan Hanjue, who had excellent hearing. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Ye Ningxuan quickly apologized. ¡°I haven¡¯t showered yet, so I can¡¯t sleep. Why don¡¯t I take a shower? I¡¯ll shower in your bathroom.¡± ¡°Whatever,¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly. Ye Ningxuan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got up from the ground. Thinking that he was blind, she had no scruples. As before, she undressed in her room and went to the bathroom naked. Zhan Hanjue was speechless. He immediately lowered his eyes, his heart pounding! But he couldn¡¯t say anything, or risk revealing his secret. After Ye Ningxuan took a shower, she walked out naked just like when she entered. Zhan Hanjue quickly closed his eyes. His heart was pounding so hard that he could only reach out and cover his chest, as if to prevent it from jumping out. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only However, he had caught a glimpse of her body just now. The girl¡¯s graceful fair body seemed to be branded in his mind, and he couldn¡¯t get rid of it. That night, Zhan Hanjue had a long, long dream. In the dream, he was having sex with the girl. He woke up in shock, feeling a great sense of emptiness and shame that made his face flush. Chapter 19 Ye Ningxuan was groggy when she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She frowned for a moment and closed her eyes. He was taking a shower in the middle of the night? But she was too sleepy, and the room was lit with calming incense to help her sleep, so she soon drifted back to sleep. ¡°Get up.¡± The next day, Ye Ningxuan was kicked by Zhan Hanjue in her sleep. Ye Ningxuan rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He had actually used his foot to kick her awake. How unethical. ¡°Did you light incense in the room?¡± Zhan Hanjue demanded coldly. ¡°Yeah, it helps with sleep. Don¡¯t worry, it just helps with sleep. There¡¯s no other ingredients or harm done to the body.¡± ¡°Who gave you permission to order this?¡± Zhan Hanjue bristled. Ye Ningxuan stood up and crossed his arms, looking down at him. ¡°Mr. Zhan Hanjue, I lit incense that helps with sleep for your own good. Do you know how long it took me to concoct this incense? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Grandma is so good to me, do you think I would be willing to help you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need you to help me, and don¡¯t light this next time,¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly. ¡°Alright, got it. Then don¡¯t come back to sleep tomorrow. You¡¯ll disturb my rest.¡± Ye Ningxuan snorted. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, how dare you.¡± Furious, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her and pinned her to the bed. Ye Ningxuan looked at his cold face and didn¡¯t cower this time. She said very firmly, ¡°You don¡¯t sleep well and are always tossing and turning in bed. It affects my rest. Moreover, if you don¡¯t sleep well over a long period, you will age early and even die early. It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re not afraid of death, but Grandma is already so old. Can you bear to make her sad? Grandma also heard that I know some medical skills, so she asked me to think of a way to help you sleep. I knew that you refused to take medicine and could only light incense to help you. Not only do you not feel grateful, but you also want to be rough with me. Are you even a man?¡± ¡°You want to know if I¡¯m a man or not?¡± Zhan Hanjue pressed on her more tightly. In the early morning, it was inevitable for men to feel horny. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes widened. This guy actually¡­ so early in the morning¡­ Still ¡­ ¡°What¡¯s that smell? Could it be¡ª¡± Ye Ningxuan smelled something unusual in the room and couldn¡¯t help but sniff it. She quickly identified what it was. Zhan Hanjue was shocked and immediately stood up, his face flushed. ¡°Shut up. Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Seeing the blush on his face spreading from his ears to his cheeks, Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°I guessed correctly? You didn¡¯t¡­ jerk off last night, did you? So, you suspect that there¡¯s an aphrodisiac in my incense?¡± ¡°There isn¡¯t?¡± ¡°Of course not,¡± Ye Ningxuan confirmed. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t I be harming myself by adding that kind of thing?¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. That was certainly true. But why did that happen last night? ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you had some strange dream last night! That¡¯s why¡­ . Actually, that¡¯s all right. You¡¯re a grown man. It¡¯s normal for that to happen. Let me tell you some physiological knowledge about men¡­¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Ye Ningxuan gave Zhan Hanjue a physiology lesson in all seriousness, but she was scolded by Zhan Hanjue before she could finish. ¡°Fine, don¡¯t listen.¡± Ye Ningxuan curled her lips. Zhan Hanjue rose to change. Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t help but steal a few glances. His figure was really good. He was clearly blind and she had never seen him exercise. How could his figure be so good? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Alas, it would be a pity for him not to become a specimen! ¡°Young Madam, someone is looking for you outside.¡± After breakfast, Ye Ningxuan was walking in the garden when Butler Wu suddenly walked over to report. Ye Ningxuan frowned. Who was looking for her? Was it the Ye family or the Lin family? ¡°Send her in!¡± Ye Ningxuan said. Anyway, she had nothing to do. It would be good to have someone to amuse her. ¡°Ningxuan.¡± Suddenly, there was a familiar cry. Then someone ran over and hugged her tightly. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°Ningxuan, I¡¯ve finally found you.¡± The girl hugged her for a moment and released her. Her round, lovely face was flushed with excitement. ¡°Wu Taotao?¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised. Why was she here? Wu Taotao sized her up and couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Ningxuan, you¡¯re so beautiful now. Look at what you¡¯re wearing. It looks so expensive.¡± It was indeed expensive. The Zhan family had prepared them all for her. Although she didn¡¯t know the price, with the Zhan family¡¯s most expensive and high-maintenance lifestyle, her clothes should be worth a lot. ¡°You make it sound like I wasn¡¯t pretty before.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled and scratched her nose. Wu Taotao stuck out her tongue playfully and hugged her again. ¡°Of course you¡¯re the prettiest. You always were.¡± ¡°Tell me first, why are you here?¡± Ye Ningxuan pushed her away. Wu Taotao was her friend in the countryside. The two of them had grown up together. This little girl was only half a year younger than her, but she was mischievous and cute. She was also the daughter of the village chief and could be considered very popular. ¡°When you left, you said that you would go back in a few days. We waited for you for so long, but you didn¡¯t go back. Of course we were worried about you, so I came to look for you,¡± Wu Taotao said. ¡°Nonsense, the village chief won¡¯t let you run out so easily.¡± Ye Ningxuan exposed her. Wu Tiaotao stuck out her tongue again and smiled awkwardly. ¡°You know me best. Actually, I have a mission this time. I moved here for college. I got into a university here, so I came to report and see you.¡± ¡°What? Did you get into a university here? How is that possible?¡± Ye Ningxuan frowned. This girl refused to go to school even before she finished high school. How did she get into university? ¡°I¡¯m majoring in art. Aren¡¯t I good at painting? My brother took my painting to some competition and said that some professor took a fancy to it. He said that I was very talented in art, so he recommended me to study here,¡± Wu Taotao said proudly. ¡°Your brother is here too?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Wu Taotao nodded. ¡°Where is he? Why didn¡¯t he come with you?¡± Ye Ningxuan glanced back. Wu Wei wasn¡¯t there. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°You promised us that you wouldn¡¯t marry that guy, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing you go back, my brother took the opportunity to come with me to look for you. In the end, after asking around, he found out that you really didn¡¯t marry that Lin guy, but you married into the Zhan family. My brother was heartbroken when he heard that and didn¡¯t want to see you, so he asked me to look for you alone. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that my brother has always treated you as his future wife,¡± Wu Taotao said. Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. She knew what Wu Wei liked her, but she¡¯d never promised him anything. Why did it sound like she had cuckolded him? ¡°Ningxuan, didn¡¯t you say that you wouldn¡¯t get married? Why did you marry Zhan Hanjue?¡± Wu Tiaotao asked curiously. Chapter 20 ¡°It¡¯s¡­ a long story.¡± Ye Ningxuan said awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯ll explain it to you when I have time.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s a long story, don¡¯t say anything. Come with me to find my brother and leave this place.¡± Wu Taotao pulled her up and was about to leave. ¡°Stop right there.¡± Zhan Hanjue snapped and walked over. ¡°Zhan Hanjue?¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised. Wu Taotao released her and looked at Zhan Hanjue. When she saw Zhan Hanjue, she was stunned. Her heart thumped and her face couldn¡¯t help but blush. ¡°Who is she?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked in a low voice as he walked up to Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan introduced, ¡°This is my best friend from the countryside, Wu Taotao.¡± ¡°Ningxuan, who is he?¡± Wu Taotao quickly lowered her voice and asked Ye Ningxuan. ¡°My husband,¡± Ye Ningxuan replied in a low voice. Tao Xiaotao¡¯s eyes widened and she gasped. ¡°He¡¯s Zhan Hanjue? Isn¡¯t he rumored to be ugly? How¡­? Oh no, oh no, there¡¯s no hope for my brother. He¡¯s always liked you.¡± ¡°And who is her brother?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked coldly. ¡°He¡¯s a friend I grew up with,¡± Ye Ningxuan replied with a chuckle. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s face was grim as he reached out and pulled her to him. ¡°Go back and tell your brother that Ye Ningxuan is married. Tell him to dispel any thoughts he shouldn¡¯t have.¡± Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. She was clearly standing with Taotao and he couldn¡¯t see her. How could he tell who was who? It was amazing that he was able to pull her over like that. ¡°Zhan Hanjue, right? Although you¡¯re indeed a little better than my brother in terms of appearance, I don¡¯t agree with your words. My brother and Ningxuan are childhood sweethearts. He liked Ningxuan for so many years. What do you mean by dispelling thoughts that he shouldn¡¯t have? It hasn¡¯t been just a year or two. Although Ningxuan married you, if you treat her badly, we¡¯ll still take her away,¡± Wu Taotao said with her hands on her waist. ¡°Butler Wu, see her out.¡± Zhan Hanjue seemed to be too lazy to waste his breath on her and ordered Butler Wu to chase her away. ¡°Butler Wu, wait. I¡¯ll handle this.¡± Ye Ningxuan immediately instructed Butler Wu. Butler Wu was troubled. One was a young master and the other was a young madam. He couldn¡¯t offend anyone. Who should he listen to? Ye Ningxuan winked at Butler Wu and told him to go ahead. Butler Wu nodded and left. Ye Ningxuan was secretly delighted. Indeed, it was easier to use her eyes. At least she could make eye contact. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t be like this. My best friend came all the way here to look for me, but you chased her away without even giving me a sip of tea. How am I supposed to carry myself outside in the future?¡± Ye Ningxuan had gotten to know Zhan Hanjue a little. This guy was amenable to persuasion but not coercion. So she immediately took his hand and shook it while wheedling in a soft and coquettish voice. Wu Taotao was stunned. Was this still the Ye Ningxuan she remembered? ¡°Then stay for dinner!¡± Zhan Hanjue coughed lightly, looking slightly uncomfortable. He left after saying that. Ye Ningxuan smiled. As expected, she had figured it out. ¡°Ningxuan, how can you wheedle to a man?¡± Wu Taotao accused angrily. Ye Ningxuan smiled and said, ¡°I can wheedle to you too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re Ye Ningxuan, a divine doctor¡­¡± ¡°Shh, they don¡¯t know my identity. Don¡¯t leak it.¡± Ye Ningxuan immediately made a hissing gesture and lowered her voice to remind her. Wu Taotao quickly covered her mouth and stuck out her tongue, but continued, ¡°You¡¯re so powerful, you don¡¯t have to wheedle to others. If you¡¯re unhappy, just beat him up.¡± ¡°Silly girl, we¡¯re girls. Girls shouldn¡¯t be so violent. Why waste your energy on a problem that can be solved in a girlish way?¡± Ye Ningxuan blinked. Wu Taotao scratched her head. A girlish way? A girlish way wasn¡¯t about punching hard enough? ¡°Sigh, I really don¡¯t understand. How can someone like you be accepted because you have artistic talent? Don¡¯t be bullied in school.¡± Ye Ningxuan was worried. Wu Taotao smiled and hugged her. ¡°Then come to school with me. Haven¡¯t you always wanted to go to school? Since you¡¯re also in Jiang City, we can go to school together.¡± Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. School? Could she? She had been to school when she was first sent back to the country. At that time, the scar on her face was still there. The children were afraid of her and called her ugly. Even if she wore a veil, she was treated as an anomaly. She knew they were just kids. What bad intentions could they have? However, those seemingly innocent and vicious attacks still made her sad. After a few days, she refused to go to school again. Every time, she would rely on Wu Taotao to teach her what he had learned in school after school. However, the little teacher¡¯s grades weren¡¯t good. On the other hand, her student was talented and understood it immediately. Later, when her face recovered, her mother-in-law asked her to go to school with Taotao, but at that time, she was no longer willing to go out. She felt that it was quite good to learn on her own. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? I¡¯ve never been to school. How can I go to university?¡± Ye Ningxuan frowned slightly and said nonchalantly. Wu Taotao bit her lip. She knew that she was traumatized, so she didn¡¯t dare to persuade her anymore. ¡°Is there any delicious food in the house?¡± Wu Taotao changed the subject. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing delicious. The old lady likes light food, and Zhan Hanjue also likes light food. If you want to eat something good, I¡¯ll take you out to eat.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°The Lin family compensated me with a large sum of money. I can buy whatever I want.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled and pinched her face. Wu Taotao was overjoyed. She immediately hugged Ye Ningxuan¡¯s arm and shouted happily while asking her to buy things for her. Ye Ningxuan was going out. Butler Wu arranged for a car and went to report to Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue had instructed that Ye Ningxuan must inform him in advance when she went out. ¡°Get her a female bodyguard,¡± Zhan Hanjue said without looking up. ¡°Okay,¡± Butler Wu agreed. Ye Ningxuan and Wu Taotao got into the car. In addition to the driver, there was a woman in the passenger seat. ¡°Hello, Young Madam. My name is Yang Rui. I¡¯m the bodyguard Butler Wu arranged for you.¡± The woman turned to Ye Ningxuan and introduced herself. Ye Ningxuan frowned. Bodyguard? Why did she feel that he had deliberately arranged for someone to monitor her? Forget it, so be it! Ye Ningxuan gave Wu Taotao a look, telling her not to say anything she shouldn¡¯t. Wu Taotao had grown up with her, so they had a tacit understanding. She immediately nodded. Ye Ningxuan first brought Wu Taotao to Defu Restaurant. Defu Restaurant was a famous restaurant in Jiang City. It had a hundred years of history and was a must-eat place in Jiang City. After eating at Defu Restaurant, Wu Taotao wanted to go to the bar. ¡°No, that place is too dangerous. It¡¯s not a place for you to go.¡± Ye Ning refused. ¡°I¡¯m just going to take a look and broaden my horizons. I¡¯ve never been to a bar, and neither have you! Anyway, with Yang Rui following us and the two of us being so tough, we¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡± Wu Taotao swayed as she wheedled. She knew how to learn things on the spot. She learned how to wheedle so quickly. Ye Ningxuan shook her head helplessly. ¡°Okay, but you have to listen to me when you get there. Don¡¯t mess around.¡± Actually, she had never been to a bar before. She would just¡­ treat it as broadening her horizons too! Chapter 21 Ye Ningxuan and Wu Taotao came to the bar. But¡­ this was a bar? Although the lights were dazzling, they weren¡¯t as noisy. The music was upbeat, but it was soothing as well. The wine was enticing. The gentle waiter and the handsome bartender were the most beautiful embellishments. Wu Taotao was extremely excited and quickly shook Ye Ningxuan. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the bar to be like this. It¡¯s completely different from what I saw on television.¡± Ye Ningxuan glanced at Yang Rui. Yang Rui was the one who brought them over. She probably didn¡¯t dare to bring them to a bar that was too wild. ¡°I can¡¯t drink. Do you have anything sweet?¡± Wu Taotao asked the bartender. The bartender smiled and nodded and mixed her a cocktail called Honey for her to taste. Wu Taotao took a small sip and her eyes lit up. She immediately said to Ye Ningxuan, ¡°It¡¯s so delicious. Try it.¡± ¡°Mix me one, too,¡± Ye Ningxuan said to the bartender. Under the ambiguous light, Ye Ningxuan¡¯s face was breathtakingly beautiful. The bartender couldn¡¯t help but blush when he saw her. In all his time at the bar, he had never seen such a beautiful woman. With a flustered nod, he quickly mixed her a glass and gallantly brought it to her. ¡°Enjoy, my lady.¡± Ye Ningxuan picked it up and took a sip. It was indeed sweet and tasted good. ¡°Are there any others with similar flavors?¡± Wu Taotao asked. ¡°Yes, there are many with similar flavors.¡± ¡°Make us one of each,¡± Wu Taotao requested. The bartender advised, ¡°But you two have never had a drink before. You¡¯ll get drunk easily.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s so delicious. I definitely won¡¯t get drunk.¡± Wu Taotao was full of confidence. The bartender looked troubled. If such a beautiful woman got drunk, these men in the bar would probably start fighting. From the moment Ye Ningxuan entered, many men around her kept looking over. Even men with dates couldn¡¯t keep their eyes from wandering. Still, he was only a bartender. When his customers demanded it, he had no choice but to comply. Wu Taotao and Ye Ningxuan drank glass after glass. Because it tasted sweet, the two of them didn¡¯t think too much about it and just drank it like it was a beverage. Unexpectedly, although it was fine to drink the wine at that time, it had an after-effect. Soon their cheeks were flushed, their vision blurred, and their heads began to swim. Ye Ningxuan put down her wine glass, shook her head, and said to Wu Taotao, ¡°Taotao, I can¡¯t¡­ I can¡¯t drink anymore. I¡¯m drunk.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drunk. I¡¯m fine.¡± Wu Taotao smiled foolishly and continued drinking. Ye Ningxuan pinched her wrist. She was really a little drunk. She felt the world spin and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton. When the men in the bar saw that such a beautiful woman was drunk, they leaned over, intending to chat her up. If they were lucky enough to catch the eye of a beauty, they would be lucky today. ¡°Do you want me to have a drink with you, beauty?¡± the man in the suit asked with a smile. Ye Ningxuan glanced at him and pouted her red lips. ¡°Scram.¡± The man suffered a huge blow. Although he didn¡¯t succeed every time when hitting on girls, this was the first time he had been told to ¡°scram¡±. ¡°That¡¯s a terrible thing to say,¡± the man said angrily. A hand on his shoulder yanked him backward and sent him staggering to the floor. ¡°So what if it¡¯s unpleasant? You¡¯re the one who came over to chat her up.¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re here,¡± Taotao called out happily. Ye Ningxuan saw that it was Wu Wei. Wu Wei was tall and handsome, and his skin was slightly tanned. After spending so much time in the mountains, he looked more muscular than the people in the city. Ye Ningxuan smiled and put her hand on his shoulder. ¡°Wu Wei, you¡¯re here. Taotao said you were angry. Is that true?¡± Wu Wei looked at her with mixed feelings and sighed. ¡°I¡¯m a little angry, but I won¡¯t be if you come back with me.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back with you. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled foolishly. ¡°Where do you plan to go?¡± Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke. Immediately after, Ye Ningxuan was pulled back. Her body went limp and she fell backward into a firm embrace. An arm wrapped around her slim waist and set her head on his shoulder. Ye Ningxuan looked up and saw a good-looking face. ¡°How handsome.¡± Smiling, she reached out and gently touched the man¡¯s face. The man didn¡¯t expect her to suddenly act like this. He was a little stunned, and his ears turned slightly red. ¡°Who are you? Let go of Ningxuan.¡± Wu Wei quickly reached out to pull Ye Ningxuan. But he was stopped by an approaching bodyguard. Zhan Hanjue introduced himself coldly. ¡°I am Zhan Hanjue, Ye Ningxuan¡¯s man.¡± With that, he bent down slightly, picked up Ye Ningxuan by the waist, and strode away with her in his arms. ¡°Let go of Ningxuan.¡± Wu Wei wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by the bodyguards and couldn¡¯t move. ¡°You¡¯d better take care of your sister,¡± Yang Rui advised him, then left with the bodyguards. Wu Wei was so angry that he slammed his fist on the bar. It took him a while to calm down. He carried the drunk Wu Taotao away. Zhan Hanjue carried Ye Ningxuan to the car. Once inside, Ye Ningxuan wrapped herself around him and hooked her arms around his neck. Zhan Hanjue pulled her away in disgust. ¡°Sit obediently.¡± ¡°No.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled slowly and leaned close to Zhan Hanjue again. Zhan Hanjue had no choice but to let her lean on him. The car swayed slightly as it turned the corner. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s body swayed, and her mouth rubbed against Zhan Hanjue¡¯s chin. Her soft, full lips brushed against his gently, making him shiver. His gaze darkened. ¡°It hurts.¡± Ye Ningxuan covered her mouth. What was it? Why was it a bit prickly? Curious, she plucked at Zhan Hanjue¡¯s face as if to study it. Her finger gently brushed against his chin, but the feeling wasn¡¯t obvious. So she raised her head again and pressed her lips against his face to feel it. Zhan Hanjue flushed with shock. He immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°It hurts. You¡¯re hurting me,¡± Ye Ningxuan whined. Zhan Hanjue could only release her. Ye Ningxuan giggled and leaned into his arms again. She reached out and touched his chin. ¡°I knew it. You¡¯re amenable to persuasion but not coercion.¡± ¡°You know me well?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s voice was suddenly cold as he pushed her away again. ¡°You¡¯re angry again.¡± Ye Ningxuan pouted. Zhan Hanjue looked at her coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m afraid to do anything to you, Ye Ningxuan.¡± It looked like he was going to have to show this woman who he really was. ¡°Why are you so mean?¡± Ye Ningxuan whined. Soon, she smiled foolishly again and struggled to reach out a hand to touch his face. ¡°You¡¯re ¡­ so good-looking. There are ¡­ stars in your eyes.¡± As she spoke, she pouted her red lips slightly, closed her eyes, and slowly leaned over¡­ Chapter 22 Zhan Hanjue watched as Ye Ningxuan got closer and closer. Her slightly pouting red lips had a moist luster. She was like a bright red cherry that made one salivate and want to swallow her in one gulp. He couldn¡¯t help but feel his throat itch and his body heat up. Ye Ningxuan leaned closer and closer, almost kissing him. Despite himself, Zhan Hanjue closed his eyes and waited for that soft touch. Still ¡­ There was a thump as a head hit his chest. Zhan Hanjue opened his eyes and saw that Ye Ningxuan had fallen asleep in his arms. He laughed bitterly and shook his head in spite of himself. He quickly pushed her head away and looked at her face closely. He was so close that he could see her features clearly. She looked a little like her childhood self¡­ but also very different. ¡°Young Master, Young Madam¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s drunk. Get someone to make a bowl of hangover soup and send it over.¡± Zhan Hanjue carried Ye Ningxuan back to her room and bumped into Butler Wu on the way. Butler Wu nodded quickly and immediately instructed the servants to make some hangover soup. After it was cooked, he sent it over personally. Zhan Hanjue laid Ye Ningxuan on the bed and removed her shoes and unbuttoned her clothes to remove her clothes. However, as he was taking her clothes off, he heard a knock on the door and had to stop what he was doing to answer it. Butler Wu brought over the hangover soup. Zhan Hanjue took it and closed the door. When he returned, he helped Ye Ningxuan up and put it to her mouth. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, drink it or you¡¯ll have a headache tomorrow,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly. How could Ye Ningxuan be so obedient? She was unwilling to be obedient even when she was sober, let alone when she was drunk now. She took only one sip and shook her head vigorously. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but spill half a bowl of hangover soup on herself. Startled, Zhan Hanjue set the bowl aside at once and drew a tissue to wipe her wet skin. Perhaps it was too sticky and uncomfortable. Ye Ningxuan closed her eyes and muttered as she started to tug at her clothes. When Zhan Hanjue threw away the wet tissue and turned his head, he saw that Ye Ningxuan had already taken off her shirt and was only wearing her underwear. Zhan Hanjue looked away, startled. But soon, Ye Ningxuan pounced on him and hooked her fair arms around his neck. She leaned her face against his neck and muttered, ¡°Take me to the shower. I want to shower.¡± ¡°Go by yourself,¡± Zhan Hanjue said, pushing her away with some irritation. Ye Ningxuan fell onto the bed and her head smashed down heavily, instantly waking her up. She opened her eyes and looked blearily at Zhan Hanjue, who was standing beside the bed. She couldn¡¯t tell if his face was flushed with anger or embarrassment. She laughed foolishly and struggled out of bed. Suddenly, she leaped forward, then actually jumped onto Zhan Hanjue¡¯s back and hugged him tightly. Zhan Hanjue was startled and his hands flew back to brace himself. When he realized that she had jumped onto his back, he knew it would be difficult to shake her off. ¡°Get down, Ye Ningxuan,¡± Zhan Hanjue chided. ¡°I won¡¯t come down, so don¡¯t even think about getting rid of me,¡± Ye Ningxuan said coquettishly. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, come down. If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll have to be rough with you.¡± Zhan Hanjue gritted his teeth. ¡°How so? You¡­ you can¡¯t even do it.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled and touched his abdomen. Zhan Hanjue stiffened, his face turning redder. But this time, it wasn¡¯t shyness. It was anger. She actually said he couldn¡¯t do it? ¡°Jerking off in the middle of the night, marrying a wife¡­ for appearance¡¯s sake. Do you have kidney deficiency?¡± Ye Ningxuan exhaled into his ear gently. The warm breath surrounded Zhan Hanjue¡¯s ears, and an indescribable numbness quickly spread from his ears to his entire body. For the first time, he actually realized that his ears were his sensitive spot. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, you asked for this.¡± Zhan Hanjue gritted his teeth and forcefully pulled her off his back. He carried her, who was struggling and screaming, to the bathroom. Soon, there was a scream from the bathroom. ¡°Ah, don¡¯t touch me. Let go. Ah.¡± ¡°Boohoo, Zhan Hanjue, you¡¯ve gone too far.¡± Zhan Hanjue came out of the bathroom. His hair was wet. When he came out, he casually took it off and threw it on the ground. He changed into a new set of clothes. After a while, Ye Ningxuan hugged herself as she came out of the bathroom while trembling. She was wide awake. Cold water was poured over her head directly. It would be a wonder if she wasn¡¯t wide awake. There was only a bra on her upper body. In any case, Zhan Hanjue was blind, so she wasn¡¯t afraid. She took it off and threw it on the ground angrily. She found a nightgown and angrily returned to the bathroom to take a hot shower. ¡°Zhan Hanjue is such a jerk.¡± Ye Ningxuan cursed angrily as she took a shower. The cold water from before seemed to have seeped into her bones. She could still feel the cold even after taking a hot shower. She felt that she would definitely catch a cold tomorrow. Although she knew medicine, the reason she focused on studying medicine was because she wasn¡¯t in good health. She would catch a cold at the drop of a hat. A doctor could treat others but not oneself. Every time she caught a cold and had a fever, she was very helpless. ¡°Even after that, he still had no reaction. He really can¡¯t do it.¡± As Ye Ningxuan washed, she thought of what had happened before she was carried into the bathroom. She had teased him while she was half-sober and half-drunk. She wanted to test him to see if his illness was real. However, the last time she checked his pulse, she didn¡¯t find out that his kidney was weak. Could it be because of other problems? Ye Ningxuan thought to herself, ¡®Looks like I¡¯ll have to bring him to find Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi next time. Other than treating his eyes, I¡¯ll also have to suggest that he treat this physiological problem.¡¯ As expected, Ye Ningxuan caught a cold the next day. Although she got someone to make ginger soup early in the morning and drank a big bowl, she still caught a fever at noon. When Butler Wu discovered this, he quickly called for an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. She wanted to tell Butler Wu that there was no need to be hospitalized for such a small problem! However, Butler Wu insisted on sending her there. She had no choice. In order not to expose herself, she could only go to the hospital for a day. She just didn¡¯t expect to meet someone she knew in the hospital. Taking a break, she went out for a walk after lunch. In the end, she met Ye Xuan in the corridor. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ye Xuan questioned her angrily. Ye Ningxuan raised her eyebrows. ¡°What? Do you own the hospital?¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, how dare you speak to me like that?¡± Ye Xuan scolded angrily. Ye Ningxuan shook her head and couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with her. Such a low-level argument was simply beneath her. But she was about to leave when Ye Xuan stopped her. Ye Ningxuan snorted. ¡°Do you still want to fight?¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s face stiffened and she said stiffly, ¡°How is that possible? We¡¯re cousins after all. We haven¡¯t seen each other for many years, and there were so many misunderstandings when we met. I thought about it and realized that it was my fault for not handling things well. I want to treat you to a meal and make amends. How about we shake hands and make peace?¡± ¡°No. I¡¯m not interested,¡± Ye Ningxuan refused. Ye Xuan said anxiously, ¡°Ye Ningxuan, don¡¯t be ungrateful.¡± ¡°So what if I¡¯m ungrateful?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Ye Xuan gritted her teeth. ¡°You¡¯re just an orphan with no one to rely on. What right do you have to be so arrogant?¡± ¡°On the basis that she is my, Zhan Hanjue¡¯s, woman.¡± Chapter 23 Zhan Hanjue suddenly came over, scaring Ye Xuan until her face turned pale. ¡°Hehe, Mr. Zhan is here. I was just joking. I have a close relationship with Ningxuan. We¡¯ve always been close.¡± ¡°Ye Xuan, did you take the wrong medicine?¡± Ye Ningxuan raised her eyebrows. Why did this girl change her attitude so quickly? ¡°You really know how to joke. We¡¯re sisters after all. You probably don¡¯t know yet! Grandpa knows that you haven¡¯t gone to university and your education level is low. He¡¯s afraid that you¡¯ll be mocked in Jiang City, so he specially arranged for you to study at Jiangzhou University. Find some free time to go home these two days. I¡¯ll personally send you to school to report,¡± Ye Xuan said with a smile. Ye Ningxuan frowned. They must have ulterior motives. What was the Ye family trying to do again? What were they up to? ¡°You want to go to school?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked quietly. ¡°I¡ª¡± Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. ¡°If you want to go to school, just tell me. There¡¯s no need for outsiders to bother.¡± Zhan Hanjue put an arm around her shoulders and led her away. Ye Xuan was speechless. What did he mean? She was an outsider? After all, their surname was both Ye. How could she be an outsider? ¡°Dad, I met that wretched girl, Ye Ningxuan, today. She¡¯s also in the hospital.¡± ¡°What? You met Ye Ningxuan? Then did you tell her that our family wants to send her to school? Did you ask her to come back when she¡¯s free?¡± Ye Henghui quickly asked. Ye Xuan said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I told her. In the end, that wretched girl didn¡¯t take me seriously at all and mocked me. I really can¡¯t figure out what¡¯s so good about that girl. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s so protective of her. Isn¡¯t she just a little better-looking than others? Why does a blind person like him care about looks? She has no education and is just a country bumpkin from the countryside.¡± ¡°Stop complaining. If you have time to complain, think about how to complete the mission that Grandpa gave you. He trusted you very much to let you do this. Don¡¯t let your second uncle¡¯s family take the initiative,¡± Ye Henghui reminded her. Ye Xuan stomped her foot in anger. She couldn¡¯t understand why her grandfather suddenly wanted to express his goodwill to that wretched girl, Ye Ningxuan, and even asked her to invite her home. ****** ¡°Did you do something to the Ye family?¡± Ye Ningxuan was brought back to the ward by Zhan Hanjue. She sat down and asked. ¡°Why do you ask?¡± ¡°When Ye Xuan saw me previously, she treated me like an enemy. Today, when you came over, her attitude immediately changed. Moreover, she even said that the Ye family helped me contact the school and asked me to go home. There¡¯s no free lunch. After thinking about it, I really don¡¯t have anything worth their effort. The only possibility is you. It¡¯s because of what you did to the Ye family that they want to curry favor with me,¡± Ye Ningxuan analyzed. Zhan Hanjue smirked. He rarely smiled. Ye Ningxuan had been with him for so long, but she had never seen him smile. She was stunned for a moment when she saw his smile. She couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to know how to smile, but you look pretty when you smile. You should smile more in the future.¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression immediately darkened, and hbecame cold again. Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. He really couldn¡¯t take a compliment. ¡°Will you be angry if I do something to the Ye family?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan shrugged. ¡°What does it have to do with me? You¡¯ve seen how the Ye family treats me. Ever since I was young, they sent me to the countryside to fend for myself. They have no feelings for me at all. Last time, they even tried to kill me. How magnanimous do you think I am to be angry for them?¡± ¡°Not much, really, but I put a little pressure in terms of business. But, it¡¯s not for your sake. I was in the car as well last time. I did it for myself,¡± Zhan Hanjue explained. Ye Ningxuan thought, ¡®You don¡¯t have to explain yourself. I know you¡¯re not doing this entirely for me.¡¯ ¡°But I owe you one. After all, you did me a favour.¡± ¡°I have good news for you. Bai Zhi has come to Jiang City. You don¡¯t have to go back to the countryside with me to look for her. Tomorrow, I can arrange for you to meet her. However, you have to get me discharged first before I can take you to see her.¡± ¡°Why did she suddenly come to Jiang City?¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. Ye Ningxuan explained, ¡°Doctor Bai Zhi¡¯s whereabouts have always been uncertain. She goes wherever she wants and as for why she came to Jiang City, how would I know? Anyway, since she¡¯s here, just go and see her. There¡¯s no need to ask so much.¡± ¡°Chen Tan, go and handle the discharge procedures,¡± Zhan Hanjue instructed Chen Tan. Special Assistant Chen nodded and immediately went to settle the discharge procedures for Ye Ningxuan. However, after Ye Ningxuan returned home, she called Wu Taotao and Wu Wei and asked them to come to the Zhan family. As they were Ye Ningxuan¡¯s friend, Butler Wu invited them in very politely. Ye Ningxuan received them in the small living room. Wu Wei still didn¡¯t treat her well because of her sudden marriage. Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t help but pat his shoulder. ¡°Wu Wei, don¡¯t be so petty. I just didn¡¯t inform you about the wedding banquet. Why are you so upset? You look as if I owe you money.¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, you know it¡¯s not about the wedding banquet,¡± Wu Wei said angrily. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°Because nothing else is possible. I¡¯ve always treated you like a brother, and you still want to sleep with me?¡± Wu Wei was speechless. His face flushed, and he felt angry but resigned. With a sigh of exasperation, he found a place to crouch at the base of the wall. Ye Ningxuan ignored him and said to Taotao, ¡°I need your help with something.¡± Seeing the two of them arguing, Wu Taotao quickly moved a stool and sat at the side with melon seeds to watch the commotion. Now that Ye Ningxuan asked her for help, she immediately said, ¡°Okay, no problem. What is it?¡± ¡°Zhan Hanjue has been looking for the divine doctor, Bai Zhi¡­¡± ¡°Divine Doctor Bai Zhi? Aren¡¯t you¡­¡± Wu Taotao was surprised. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°He doesn¡¯t know. He needs Bai Zhi to treat his eyes, and I want to get some information from him. So, I hope you guys can help me put on a show.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t even know who you are. Is it a lie that you married him?¡± Wu Wei finally perked up and came over from the corner. Ye Ningxuan glared at him. ¡°Whether it¡¯s true or not has nothing to do with you. Aren¡¯t you angry? Continue squatting at the base of the wall.¡± ¡°For such a big matter, you definitely need my help. How can Taotao do it all by herself?¡± Wu Wei said with a smile. Wu Taotao kicked him angrily from behind. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re badmouthing me right in front of me. Are you looking for a beating?¡± ¡°Shh shh, stop talking. Someone¡¯s coming.¡± Ye Ningxuan suddenly made a hissing gesture. Sure enough, Butler Wu came over with fruits and snacks and said with a smile, ¡°Old Madam knows that your friends came to visit. She wanted to come over and greet them, but she was afraid that you guys would be uncomfortable, so she asked me to tell you to keep your friends for dinner.¡± ¡°Thank Grandma for me,¡± Ye Ningxuan said with a smile. After Butler Wu left, Wu Taotao immediately went up to Ye Ningxuan and said, ¡°This old lady likes you.¡± ¡°Well, the old lady is nice,¡± said Yeh Ninh. ¡°Then can we really stay for dinner today?¡± Wu Taotao asked excitedly. Ye Ningxuan frowned. Wu Taotao hurriedly said, ¡°I only realized how powerful the Zhan family is when I got here. With such a powerful family, the food will definitely be delicious. I want to broaden my horizons.¡± Chapter 24 Wu Wei despised Wu Taotao¡¯s behavior. It was just a meal. It was just some chicken, duck, and fish. It wasn¡¯t that precious. What could they learn? However, when it was time for dinner, they were invited to the dining room. Not only Wu Taotao, but Wu Wei was also dumbfounded! ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s the dining room where you usually eat?¡± Wu Wei asked Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan was about to shake her head when Zhan Hanjue walked over and hugged her waist intimately. He said to Wu Wei and Wu Taotao, ¡°Welcome to the Zhan family. Please forgive me for my lack of hospitality.¡± Ye Ningxuan turned around and looked at Zhan Hanjue in surprise. They usually ate separately, so why was he here today? Also, this was the first time she had been to such a large dining room. Only today did she realize that the Zhan family had such a huge dining room. ¡°Hello, Mr. Zhan. Thank you for your hospitality. It¡¯s so sumptuous! It can simply be called an imperial feast.¡± Wu Taotao looked excitedly at the long eight-meter table filled with all kinds of delicacies. She was about to drool. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. It¡¯s just home-cooked dishes. Eat slowly.¡± Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan¡¯s waist and sat down. He and Ye Ningxuan sat at the head of the table and let Wu Wei and Wu Taotao sit opposite them. The four of them were a good eight meters apart. When they sat down to eat, they couldn¡¯t even see each other¡¯s faces clearly when they looked up and spoke. Wu Taotao was attracted by the table full of delicacies and didn¡¯t think too much about it. Wu Wei¡¯s expression was extremely ugly! In the past, he had never thought that there was a distance between him and Ye Ningxuan, but today¡¯s meal allowed him to see reality clearly. At least Zhan Hanjue could let Ye Ningxuan eat at an eight-meter-long dining table, and he probably couldn¡¯t even provide an eight-meter house in this city. ¡°Wow, brother, it¡¯s really delicious,¡± Wu Taotao said excitedly to Wu Wei, her mouth full of grease. Wu Wei¡¯s expression darkened as he picked up a lobster for her. ¡°Eat more if it¡¯s delicious.¡± ¡°Thank you, brother. You should eat too.¡± Wu Taotao gave him a big drumstick. How could Wu Wei eat? This meal was torturous for him. After they finally finished eating, the blind Zhan Hanjue actually asked Butler Wu to pack a snack for each of them. Qing Ya instructed Butler Wu to deliver it to them. ¡°I originally wanted them to serve dessert, but I was afraid that the two of you would be full and wouldn¡¯t be able to eat anymore. Therefore, you guys might as well bring it back and slowly savor it.¡± ¡°Mr. Zhan, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Wu Tao happily took it. Zhan Hanjue added, ¡°I¡¯ll have Butler Wu prepare a car to send you guys back.¡± Wu Wei immediately said, ¡°No need. We¡¯ll take the bus back.¡± With that, Wu Wei pulled Wu Taotao away with an ugly expression. Wu Taotao only had time to turn around and wave at Ye Ningxuan before she was pulled away by Wu Wei. Ye Ningxuan sighed softly. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s move was ruthless and vicious. Wu Wei would probably not dare to have any romantic thoughts about her in the future. Except¡­ why had he done so? ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you like me!¡± Ye Ningxuan asked with a smile. Zhan Hanjue winced and then scoffed. ¡°Dream talk in broad daylight. What a fool.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°If you don¡¯t like me, why did you do this?¡± ¡°Do you like him?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked coldly. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t like him, but it should be up to me to decide, not you.¡± ¡°I think you¡¯ve forgotten your place.¡± Zhan Hanjue swept his arm around her so that she tumbled into his arms. Ye Ningxuan jumped and looked up at him in panic. Zhan Hanjue also looked back deeply. Ye Ningxuan was stunned. His eyes¡­? ¡°Afraid?¡± Zhan Hanjue said slowly. Her pupils were still dilated. The condensation just now seemed to be a momentary illusion. ¡°What am I afraid of? You can¡¯t do anything to me.¡± Ye Ningxuan coughed lightly and pretended to be calm. ¡°I think you¡¯ve forgotten about what happened in the bathroom that day. Do you really think I wouldn¡¯t dare do anything to you?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s arms tightened slightly around her slender waist. Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t help but stand on tiptoe and move closer to him. At this close distance, what happened next was usually a fight or a kiss. Apparently, they¡¯d wanted to fight at first. It was just that¡­ their warm breaths intertwined. Ye Ningxuan looked at the handsome face in front of her, and her heart couldn¡¯t help but race, followed by her entire body heating up. Ahem. She was actually¡­ blinded by lust for a moment. Still ¡­ ¡°You¡¯re burning,¡± Ye Ningxuan confirmed. So she wasn¡¯t the only one whose temperature was gradually rising. He was the same. ¡°You¡¯re delusional.¡± Zhan Hanjue pushed her away angrily and left. Ye Ningxuan staggered back from the push, but she rubbed her flushed face and muttered softly, ¡°You were burning up, but you still won¡¯t admit it. You¡¯re lying.¡± Still ¡­ Was he really interested in her? She would just ask. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s lips curled up, and a sly look flashed across her eyes. ****** ¡°Madam, are you sure that Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi is really here?¡± The car drove to a residential house in the suburbs and stopped. Chen Tan got out of the car first to check. After a while, he came back and asked Ye Ningxuan suspiciously. Ye Ningxuan curled her lips. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can get in the car now and leave.¡± Chen Tan hurriedly apologized. ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve misunderstood. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you, but this place¡­¡± ¡°Go and knock,¡± Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly. Chen Tan nodded and walked over to knock on the door. A middle-aged woman quickly came out. When she saw Chen Tan, she asked in confusion, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Hello, we¡¯re here to see Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi.¡± Chen Tan reported his intentions. The middle-aged woman asked, ¡°Miss Ye?¡± Ye Ningxuan got out of the car and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Ye Ningxuan. I¡¯ve contacted Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi before.¡± The middle-aged woman smiled and said, ¡°The Miracle Doctor is waiting inside, but¡­ only Miss Ye and the patient can enter. No one else is allowed to enter.¡± ¡°How can that be?¡± Chen Tan immediately said. Zhan Hanjue also got out of the car and said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Wait outside.¡± ¡°Boss.¡± Chen Tan was filled with worry. Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan¡¯s waist. ¡°It¡¯s fine. What danger can there be with my wife accompanying me?¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly and thought, ¡®After you say that, I¡¯m embarrassed not to take care of you.¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take good care of Mr. Zhan,¡± Ye Ningxuan could only promise Chen Tan. Chen Tan nodded and watched them enter. After Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue entered, the middle-aged woman closed the door. It was a small courtyard. The middle-aged woman led them into the central room. There was a chair in the central room. There were rooms to the left and right of the central room. There was a door on one side and a curtain on the other. The middle-aged woman asked Zhan Hanjue to sit down and said to Ye Ningxuan, ¡°Miss Ye, please wait on the right. I don¡¯t want outsiders to be present when the Miracle Doctor is treating you.¡± Ye Ningxuan immediately said, ¡°I know the rules. I¡¯ll leave immediately.¡± She whispered to Zhan Hanjue, ¡°I¡¯ll be next door. Call me if you need me.¡± She turned to the room on the right with the curtain. When she entered, the curtain rattled. Soon the door on the left opened and someone stepped out. Chapter 25 The middle-aged woman said to Zhan Hanjue, ¡°This is Bai Zhi, but you can¡¯t see her. Just say hello.¡± Zhan Hanjue turned toward the sound of footsteps and greeted her calmly. ¡°How do you do?¡± ¡°You¡¯re blind?¡± The voice was old and creaky. However, her figure was graceful and youthful. She wore a cloak that wrapped most of her body and a fox mask that covered half her face. ¡°Yes,¡± Zhan Hanjue replied. ¡°I was in a car accident when I was fifteen. I haven¡¯t seen anything since.¡± ¡°Is it because of the car accident? The Zhan family is also a wealthy family. Didn¡¯t they take you to a better hospital for treatment?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been to many hospitals, but it¡¯s all useless. Two years ago, I heard that Doctor Bai Zhi¡¯s medical skills are brilliant. I¡¯ve been looking for you everywhere, but there was no news of you. Fortunately, my wife found out about you, so I had the chance to seek treatment.¡± ¡°I watched Ningxuan grow up,¡± Bai Zhi said slowly. ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect her to marry you. She must have told you that I require payment for treatment. This payment doesn¡¯t have to be monetary. It can be anything. No matter what I want or request, you¡¯ll agree?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Zhan Hanjue replied without hesitation. Bai Zhi thought to herself that he was so eager to seek treatment that he dared to agree to anything. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask two questions today. If your answers are satisfactory, I¡¯ll treat you,¡± Bai Zhi said. ¡°Very well, Miracle Doctor, go ahead,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. ¡°That first question is about the accident fifteen years ago.¡± ¡°Why? Does the accident have something to do with the cure?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Bai Zhi said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, but an innocent victim of the car accident was an old friend of mine, so I want to know what happened.¡± ¡°I can get my assistant to gather all the information on the car accident. But since you¡¯re old friends, why did you only ask about it today?¡± ¡°Ahem, what does it have to do with you?¡± Bai Zhi said unhappily. ¡°You just have to answer my questions. You don¡¯t have to know the rest. Are you asking me, or am I asking you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re asking me, of course.¡± ¡°Then answer truthfully. I don¡¯t need any information. I just want to hear it from you in person. A lot of things sound differently coming from different people. I want your opinion.¡± ¡°That day, my father and I were invited to a dinner party. The car drove onto the bridge and came face-to-face with a truck. The driver dodged the truck but didn¡¯t expect to collide with a car on the right. The two cars fell into the pit together. My father, the driver, and a couple in the other car died instantly. Only I and a girl in the other car survived. That¡¯s what happened that day.¡± ¡°But I heard that your aunt, Mrs. Leng, coveted the Zhan family¡¯s assets, so she attacked you and your father. Is that true?¡± Bai Zhi asked again. Zhan Hanjue said, ¡°These things are just rumors. The Leng family is also a wealthy family. Madam Leng is my father¡¯s biological sister. How could she do such a thing? If someone did it on purpose, I suspect that the couple in the other car offended someone. They shouldn¡¯t have run into our driveway, but they suddenly crashed into us, causing two cars to fall into a deep pit. Therefore, at that time, their car must have suffered an accident that caused the car to lose control.¡± Bai Zhi¡¯s eyes widened. Was that so? She thought back carefully, but she couldn¡¯t remember what had happened. She frowned and clenched her fists, digging her nails into her flesh to calm herself. ¡°Miracle Doctor, I hope you won¡¯t tell my wife, Ye Ningxuan, about this,¡± Zhan Hanjue pleaded. ¡°Why?¡± Bai Zhi was confused. Zhan Hanjue sighed. ¡°My wife, Ye Ningxuan, was the only girl who survived in the other car. She was young at that time and didn¡¯t know about these things. If she knew that her parents might have been assasinated, she would definitely be very sad.¡± ¡°You care about her a lot.¡± Bai Zhi asked, ¡°I know it was a coincident for you to marry her, but you two have been together day and night. Have you fallen for her?¡± ¡°Is that the second question?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Bai Zhi replied, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°She is my wife and it is my duty to protect her,¡± Zhan Hanjue replied firmly. Bai Zhi frowned. Did he like her or not? ¡°Miracle Doctor, I¡¯ve already answered everything that needs to be answered. Can you start treating me?¡± Zhan Hanjue reminded her. Bai Zhi coughed lightly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take your pulse first. I still have to check your eyes.¡± She stepped forward and first put her hand on Zhan Hanjue¡¯s wrist. Then she made him close his eyes as she checked his eyeballs. One of her hands was also disguised. She had deliberately worn fake skin that made her hand look as rough as an old woman¡¯s hand. After checking, he said in a low voice, ¡°Your eyeball isn¡¯t damaged, so it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to heal. I¡¯ll apply medicine for you first. Apply it over a period of time to see the effect. If it works, you can continue next time. Your eyes have been blind for many years, so it won¡¯t heal overnight. You have to be patient.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Zhan Hanjue nodded. Bai Zhi gave the middle-aged woman a look and told Zhan Hanjue to lie on the back of the chair first. She applied a layer of ointment and put an eye patch on his eyes before letting him lie here and rest. And she turned to the room on the left. After a while, the curtain on the right moved and Ye Ningxuan walked out. ¡°Ye Ningxuan?¡± Zhan Hanjue called out, eyes closed. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°It¡¯s me. How is it? What did Divine Doctor Bai Zhi say?¡± ¡°You were next door, but you did not hear her?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°I was next door, but there¡¯s a door inside. It¡¯s closed, so I naturally can¡¯t hear you. Did you have medicine applied? How do you feel?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a little cool, but comfortable,¡± Zhan Hanjue replied. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°That¡¯s the right feeling. Put it on first. I¡¯ll go in and talk to Bai Zhi about how to take care of you when we get home.¡± With that, she headed for the room on the left. After a while, two people walked out. One was Ye Ningxuan, and the other was Bai Zhi, who was wearing a cloak and a mask. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s eyes were closed. All he could hear were their footsteps. Then, Bai Zhi¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°I¡¯ve already told your wife how to take care of you when you get home. When you get back, you have to listen to her arrangements. She was taught by me and has some medical skills. She can take good care of you.¡± ¡°Yes, Zhan Hanjue, I will take good care of you,¡± Ye Ningxuan immediately echoed. Zhan Hanjue said, ¡°I understand. Thank you, miracle doctor.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. Okay, I¡¯ll leave after I apply the medicine.¡± After Bai Zhi finished speaking, Zhan Hanjue quickly heard footsteps entering the room on the left. After he finished applying the medicine and wiping the residue from his eyes, Ye Ningxuan hurriedly came over to support him. ¡°How is it? Do you feel better?¡± Ye Ningxuan waved her hand in front of his face. Zhan Hanjue opened her hand. ¡°She¡¯s a miracle doctor, not a god. How can I regain my sight just after applying medicine?¡± Ye Ningxuan stuck out her tongue. ¡°I don¡¯t have much knowledge. I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of you.¡± Chapter 26 After Zhan Hanjue finished his treatment, Ye Ningxuan ran to the study early in the morning and waved her hand in front of his eyes. ¡°What for?¡± Zhan Hanjue reached out and grabbed her hand. It was soft and smooth to the touch. Ye Ningxuan quickly explained, ¡°I¡¯m trying to see if it¡¯s effective.¡± ¡°No,¡± Zhan Hanjue replied coldly. ¡°Impossible.¡± Ye Ningxuan frowned. ¡°It really didn¡¯t have any effect at all? That shouldn¡¯t be the case!¡± It should have some effect. It was impossible for it not to have any effect at all. ¡°What, you think I¡¯m lying to you?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked, putting down his phone and removing one of his earphones. Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly. ¡°Of course not. I just feel that¡­ Doctor Bai Zhi¡¯s medical skills are so superb that it¡¯s unbelievable that there¡¯s no effect.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so unbelievable? She¡¯s a doctor, not God. My eye injury has been around for years. It¡¯s reasonable that it won¡¯t be able to be cured anytime soon,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Ye Ningxuan thought it made sense. ¡°Let¡¯s go again this week and let the doctor take a look at you. Or, I can help you check. I¡¯ve received guidance from the doctor.¡± Ye Ningxuan was about to check. But Zhan Hanjue pushed him away ruthlessly. ¡°Go away. I don¡¯t believe you.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Ye Ningxuan pouted and left angrily. Two days later, the two of them went to the suburbs again. Because of their first experience, after the car stopped this time, Chen Tan helped them open the door and waited outside obediently. Ye Ningxuan led Zhan Hanjue in. It was still the same central room. ¡°As usual, wait here. I¡¯ll go to the other room before Bai Zhi comes out to treat you. If you have any problems, you can tell Bai Zhi. It¡¯ll be easier for her if you explain it clearly,¡± Ye Ningxuan instructed Zhan Hanjue. Unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her wrist. ¡°Can¡¯t you stay with me?¡± Ye Ningxuan was stunned for a moment and laughed. ¡°You¡¯re not a child, so why are you still afraid? I want to stay and accompany you, but that¡¯s the rule of the doctor. I can¡¯t break the rule.¡± ¡°You cannot be in the same room with her?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but she immediately smiled and said, ¡°Of course not. It¡¯s just that the doctor¡¯s medical skills are not taught to outsiders. I would like to be in the same room as the doctor and learn some skills. Unfortunately, I¡¯m not qualified to become her disciple.¡± With that, Ye Ningxuan pushed away Zhan Hanjue¡¯s hand and entered the room with the bead curtain. Soon, someone walked out of another room. She was still wearing the fox mask and a cape, while her voice was low and husky. ¡°I hear your eyes haven¡¯t improved at all?¡± Zhan Hanjue nodded. ¡°It certainly hasn¡¯t gotten any better. Why don¡¯t you take another look for me,?¡± ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be possible. Let me see what¡¯s going on.¡± Bai Zhi walked over and stretched out an old hand while making him lean back slightly to check his eyeballs. However, when she pried his eyelids open, she saw a pair of clear eyes. His eyes reflected her so clearly. How could he not see? Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi was shocked and immediately let go. She said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°You can see. You lied to me.¡± She turned to go, but Zhan Hanjue reached out and grabbed her wrist. With a strong tug, Bai Zhi fell back into his arms. She struggled furiously. However, Zhan Hanjue held her waist tightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Why are you leaving? Didn¡¯t you want to see my eyes? You haven¡¯t even diagnosed me carefully. Why are you leaving?¡± ¡°Your eyes saw me. You lied to me.¡± Bai Zhi struggled. She was so anxious and angry that she forgot to disguise her voice. She wasn¡¯t a hoarse old woman. She was clearly a young girl with a chirpy voice. ¡°You found out? Indeed, my eyes saw you. But I have to thank Bai Zhi for bringing my eyesight back.¡± ¡°Why did you lie to me?¡± Bai Zhi couldn¡¯t help but scold. But that wasn¡¯t right. She clearly didn¡¯t see the clarity in his eyes before. Why did she suddenly see it? ¡°Because I want to see the true face of the.¡± Zhan Hanjue reached out to take off the mask on her face. Not wanting him to take it off, Bai Zhi immediately turned her head. Perhaps because of the commotion outside, someone inside heard it and ran out. However, this person wasn¡¯t Ye Ningxuan, but Wu Taotao. Seeing this scene, Wu Taotao was stunned. She asked in surprise, ¡°What are you doing?¡± As she spoke, Zhan Hanjue had already forcefully twisted Doctor Bai Zhi¡¯s body and removed the fox mask on her face. Under the mask, there was a beautiful face. She wasn¡¯t an old woman. She was clearly a pretty young woman. ¡°Ningning, I¡¯ll leave first. Take care of it yourself.¡± Seeing that Ye Ningxuan had been exposed, Wu Taotao quickly slipped away. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip in anger, but she was imprisoned by Zhan Hanjue and sat on him helplessly. ¡°Ye Ningxuan, your double act isn¡¯t bad. I didn¡¯t know you knew how to disguise your voice.¡± Zhan Hanjue snorted and released her. If she didn¡¯t have the skill of ventriloquism, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to play two roles alone. She was really talented. Ye Ningxuan immediately jumped off him and retreated. She was so angry that her face turned pale. She hadn¡¯t expected him to discover it so quickly. ¡°When did you know that Bai Zhi was me?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Surely he hadn¡¯t just found out at this moment. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have pretended to be blind and even lied to Ye Ningxuan. However, she thought that she had disguised herself very well. She knew that his nose was sensitive, so she deliberately changed her scent. She even disguised one hand as the hand of an old man and changed her voice to that of an old man. She really couldn¡¯t figure out what had gone wrong to make him discover her. ¡°My eyes weren¡¯t completely blind to begin with,¡± said Zhan Hanjue. ¡°The accident only damaged my vision. My vision was blurred, not completely blind.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°So all this time, you¡¯ve been able to see me. My face ¡­ you did it on purpose with the faucet last time. You could see me. That¡¯s why I was exposed?¡± Zhan Hanjue nodded. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. She felt exasperated. She even called herself a, but she didn¡¯t even realize that the person around her wasn¡¯t really blind. Instead, he was slowly discovering her true identity. Suddenly, something more serious occurred to her. She seemed to¡­ think he couldn¡¯t see anything. She¡¯d even stripped naked and wandered in front of him many times. So¡­ ¡°So, you saw everything?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked, her face pale. Zhan Hanjue took one look at her expression and knew what she was referring to. He scowled in silence, which was tantamount to acquiescence. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s vision darkened and she almost fainted. Wu Taotao suddenly poked her head out of the room and asked curiously, ¡°Ningning, see what?¡± Chapter 27 ¡°Don¡¯t ask. Find me a rope and hang me.¡± Ye Ningxuan rushed over and covered Wu Taotao¡¯s mouth. Wu Taotao dejectedly shrank back. Ye Ningxuan closed the door and rushed to Zhan Hanjue again. ¡°How despicable. You¡¯re acting like a hooligan.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my wife. I didn¡¯t ask you to take it off. How am I being a hooligan?¡± Zhan Hanjue said righteously. ¡°I took it off because I thought you were blind. If I had known that you weren¡¯t blind, do you think I would have taken it off?¡± Ye Ningxuan shouted agitatedly. ¡°I¡¯ve seen it already anyway. What are you going to do about it?¡± Zhan Hanjue shrugged with a look that said what the hell. Ye Ningxuan glared at him angrily. He was too outrageous, too shameless. He was utterly shameless! ¡°If you want to find a rope to hang yourself with, I can find one for you,¡± Zhan Hanjue suggested. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. Of course she couldn¡¯t herself him with a rope. But she never wanted to see him again. ¡°Taotao, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Ningxuan shouted, and Taotao ran out of the foom. She hadn¡¯t figured out the situation yet. ¡°What happened?¡± she asked curiously. Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t explain to her and pulled her away. Zhan Hanjue smiled as he watched them leave. In fact, he could see clearly after half the course of the treatment. Previously, Ye Ningxuan had been a blurry shadow in front of him. Unless he leaned close, he couldn¡¯t see her features clearly. But it was only a rough outline. On that day, after washing away the ointment on his eyes, he looked up and saw Ye Ningxuan wearing a light pink dress. Her face was charming and she was slender. She walked over with light steps. A gentle breeze blew, and her luscious black hair fluttered in the wind. A peach blossom flew in front of her. She smiled and reached out to catch it. She pouted her tender rosy lips and gently blew the petals off. Looking at the fluttering petals, she smiled and brightened the entire world! So, that was what she looked like? That was the first time he had seen Ye Ningxuan clearly. She was gorgeous and graceful. She looked very different from when she was a child! ¡°Boss, Madam has left,¡± Chen Tan walked over and reminded him. Zhan Hanjue recovered and gave a small nod. ¡°Send some men to follow and protect them in secret.¡± Chen Tan nodded and immediately instructed someone to protect her secretly. Zhan Hanjue took the car home. As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to Old Madam Zhan¡¯s room. ¡°Mrs. Chen, long time no see.¡± Zhan Hanjue saw Mrs. Chen watering the flowers outside and greeted her. Mrs. Chen was stunned and turned to look at him in surprise. ¡°Young Master, your eyes¡­?¡± Zhan Hanjue smiled and hurried into his grandmother¡¯s room. Old Madam Zhan was looking at old photos when she suddenly saw Zhan Hanjue enter. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, ¡°Why are you here?¡± She set the album aside. She knew he wouldn¡¯t be able to see them, so she wasn¡¯t afraid he¡¯d see the pictures. However, after Zhan Hanjue sat down, he picked up the photo album and flipped through the pages. His brow was furrowed, his expression serious. But the longer she looked at him, the more shocked she became. When he put the album down, Old Madam Zhan grabbed his hand. ¡°Hanjue, your eyes¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve recovered,¡± Zhan Hanjue whispered back. Tears streamed down Old Madam Zhan¡¯s face. She held his hand tightly and sobbed. ¡°Finally. Finally.¡± ¡°Hello again, Grandma.¡± Zhan Hanjue reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. Old Madam Zhan quickly wiped her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing. I shouldn¡¯t cry on such a joyous occassion. Yes, I shouldn¡¯t.¡± ¡°Are you missing my father again, Grandma?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked, his eyes on the album. The entire photo album was filled with photos of his father. From childhood to adulthood, she had recorded everything about him. Old Madam Zhan¡¯s eyes reddened again. ¡°How could I not? Your father was my only child. After he left¡­ I thought of him day and night.¡± ¡°I will find the real murderer,¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly. Old Madam Zhan hurriedly shook her head. ¡°Hanjue, it¡¯s been so long. Let go of the past! I only hope that you and Ningxuan can have more great-grandchildren soon. I will be relieved.¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan?¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. Old Madam Zhan said, ¡°You¡¯ve seen what she looks like, haven¡¯t you? She¡¯s very good-looking, isn¡¯t she? She¡¯s a good match for you. She¡¯s also a child left behind from the car accident. It¡¯s fate that brought her to you.¡± Zhan Hanjue frowned. Fate? If back then¡­ ¡°If only it had been Father and not her who had survived all those years ago, Grandmama,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Old Madam Zhan said, ¡°Don¡¯t be silly. Don¡¯t think too much about it. It was the two of you who survived in the first place. This is your destiny. Stay with her and cherish this relationship. Don¡¯t think about anything else.¡± Zhan Hanjue was sulky and silent. At this moment, Ye Ningxuan sneezed heavily and rubbed her nose. Who was talking about her? However, she quickly realized that it was most likely Zhan Hanjue who was talking behind her back. This was too outrageous. He had actually pretended to be blind. He was despicable, shameless, and obscene. He had secretly watched her naked. No, it didn¡¯t seem like he was secretly looking at her naked. He was looking at her openly. The more Ye Ningxuan thought about it, the more vexed she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had to teach him a lesson. ¡°Ningxuan, what a coincidence to meet you here.¡± Suddenly, a man rushed over and looked at her in surprise. Wu Taotao quickly whispered in Ye Ningxuan¡¯s ear, ¡°Who is this creepy man?¡± ¡°My ex-fianc¨¦,¡± Ye Ningxuan whispered back. Wu Taotao was surprised. ¡°No wonder you dumped him and married Zhan Hanjue. The difference is obvious.¡± ¡°Ningxuan, who¡¯s this girl beside you?¡± Lin Yuyang asked. Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t answer. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Yuyang immediately replied, ¡°I made an appointment with the Leng family to discuss a project today and just finished. I didn¡¯t expect to be so lucky to meet you here. It¡¯s really fate that brought us together.¡± Lin Yuyang¡¯s eyes were burning with passion. Ye Ningxuan sneered and thought to himself, ¡®Who¡¯s fated to meet you?¡¯ ¡°I still have something going on. Ningxuan, I¡¯ll leave first. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time,¡± Lin Yuyang looked at his watch and quickly said to Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan saw that he was in a hurry and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± ¡°I have to attend Leng Ziqing¡¯s party.¡± Lin Yuyang looked helpless, but his eyes were filled with pride. Although the Leng family wasn¡¯t one of the Four Great Clans, their status in Jiang City couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Especially in the past few years, the Leng Corporation had been prospering and could be said to be an upstart in Jiang City. How could he not be proud to be invited by the heir of the Leng family, Leng Ziqing? ¡°Can you bring me along? I want to broaden my horizons too,¡± Ye Ningxuan suddenly asked with a smile. Chapter 28 Lin Yuyang was extremely excited. He had never expected Ye Ningxuan to attend the party with him. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t let that tigress Ye Xuan come over today. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have had such a good opportunity to be alone with Ye Ningxuan. ¡°Sister Ningxuan, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll divorce Ye Xuan after I go back. This time, I have to divorce her no matter what.¡± Lin Yuyang¡¯s face was flushed with excitement as he promised Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan asked him, ¡°Who is Leng Ziqing?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Yuyang was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he immediately pointed to a handsome man on his right and said, ¡°That¡¯s Leng Ziqing, the heir of the Leng Corporation.¡± ¡°The current director of the Leng Group or Mrs. Leng?¡± asked Ye Ningxuan. Lin Yuyang sighed. ¡°That¡¯s right, but Mrs. Leng is also old and is slowly handing the company over to Young Master Leng. It¡¯s just that Young Master Leng is still young and has just returned to the country. When he gets used to this place, the Leng Corporation will be handed over to him.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded. Lin Yuyang asked curiously, ¡°Sister Ningxuan, why are you asking about the Leng family?¡± Ye Ningxuan chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m just asking. By the way, you¡¯re two years older than me. Do you remember what happened when you were young?¡± Lin Yuyang thought that she wanted to reminisce about the past with him and immediately said excitedly, ¡°Of course I remember. When I was young, I always played with you. The two of us were engaged before we were born. I knew from a young age that you would be my wife in the future and would always protect you. Do you remember?¡± ¡°Then do you remember the last time we agreed on a meal? It was when my parents had an accident,¡± Ye Ningxuan asked again. Lin Yuyang was stunned for a moment before revealing a pained expression. ¡°Sister Ningxuan, that matter has already passed. Don¡¯t think about it anymore. You have to look forward. You still have a long life ahead of you¡­¡± ¡°Just tell me, do you remember or not?¡± Ye Ningxuan interrupted him with a frown. She needed to know what had happened. Who was going to listen to his bullshit? Lin Yuyang nodded. ¡°I remember. When I was going to meet you, I was so happy that I even prepared a doll for you as a gift. But¡­¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming here?¡± Zhan Hanjue walked in and wrapped his arm around Ye Ningxuan¡¯s waist. Lin Yuyang suddenly saw a man hugging Ye Ningxuan. He wanted to flare up, but when he saw that it was Zhan Hanjue, he staggered back. They were the legal couple. He was just a third party. He had no right to act up. Ye Ningxuan turned to look at him in surprise. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Zhan Hanjue smiled, his gaze meaningful. ¡°Of course I must attend my cousin¡¯s party.¡± Ye Ningxuan realized that he was Leng Ziqing¡¯s cousin. But she didn¡¯t know that Zhan Hanjue had come specifically for her. Everyone knew that Zhan Hanjue never attended any banquet. How could Leng Ziqing have invited him? It was because the people who followed Ye Ningxuan had reported to Chen Tan that Ye Ningxuan had left for the Leng family¡¯s party. Chen Tan immediately reported this matter to Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue frowned and decided to come over. The moment he entered, he saw Ye Ningxuan and Lin Yuyang standing together, chatting and laughing. His expression darkened as he strode over and grabbed Ye Ningxuan¡¯s waist to get her away from the scum. ¡°Is Young Master Lin very free?¡± After declaring his sovereignty, Zhan Hanjue looked at Lin Yuyang. Lin Yuyang trembled. How could a blind man like him know who he was and that he was in this direction? No, his eyes weren¡¯t right. Why did he feel like¡­ he could see him? ¡°His vision is back,¡± Ye Ningxuan said. Lin Yuyang¡¯s face turned pale. He had actually recovered? Wouldn¡¯t he be¡­? He looked at Zhan Hanjue and thought of himself. The gap between them had widened. Would Ye Ningxuan return to him? ¡°What were you talking about?¡± Zhan Hanjue lowered his head and looked at Ye Ningxuan gently. Ye Ningxuan was still angry and pulled a long face. ¡°Nothing.¡± After saying that, she was afraid that Zhan Hanjue would ask Lin Yuyang, so she said to Lin Yuyang, ¡°That¡¯s all for today. Let¡¯s talk next time.¡± Lin Yuyang nodded and immediately left. He dared not offend Zhan Hanjue. ¡°Still angry?¡± After Lin Yuyang left, Zhan Hanjue let go of her waist. Ye Ningxuan sneered and looked up at him. ¡°Mr. Zhan, you¡¯re really putting on a good show. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not an actor. If you become an actor, you¡¯ll definitely win the Best Actor Award.¡± ¡°If I had told you earlier, would you have told me that you were Bai Zhi and treated me?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan was silent. It was impossible for her to reveal her identity. As for treating him¡­? ¡°You¡¯re my wife,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. ¡°I can¡¯t not know who you are. If I keep you around, I have to know who you are.¡± ¡°Since you know my identity, you should be able to guess why I stayed by your side!¡± Ye Ningxuan said. Zhan Hanjue nodded. ¡°You asked me questions as Bai Zhi, which confirmed my guess.¡± At this moment, Leng Ziqing walked over. Actually, he had discovered Zhan Hanjue long ago. With Zhan Hanjue¡¯s looks, he would be the center of attention anywhere. As soon as he walked in, he attracted the attention of many people, Leng Ziqing included. However, he had been studying abroad and hadn¡¯t seen Zhan Hanjue for two years. He wasn¡¯t sure if he was Zhan Hanjue. As far as he could remember, Zhan Hanjue would never come to such an occasion. Therefore, after secretly observing for a while and confirming that it was really him, he walked over. When Zhan Hanjue saw Leng Ziqing approaching, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Ningxuan, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this when we get home.¡± Ye Ningxuan followed his gaze and saw Leng Ziqing as well. Leng Ziqing quickly walked up to them and asked in surprise, ¡°Cousin, is it really you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time,¡± Zhan Hanjue said, watching him. Leng Ziqing was even more surprised. ¡°Your eyes.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve recovered,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Surprised and delighted, Leng Ziqing said, ¡°Really? How wonderful. Mother will be delighted to know.¡± Ye Ningxuan frowned. The joy on Leng Ziqing¡¯s face didn¡¯t seem to be feigned. Was he really happy? But Mrs. Leng wasn¡¯t close to Zhan Hanjue. Leng Ziqing¡­? ¡°Who is this beauty?¡± Leng Ziqing asked Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan smiled and introduced herself. ¡°My name is Ye Ningxuan.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my new cousin-in-law? It¡¯s rumored that the third daughter of the Ye family is extremely ugly. I didn¡¯t expect you to be a beauty,¡± Leng Ziqing said with a smile. Ye Ningxuan said shyly, ¡°Young Master Leng, you flatter me.¡± ¡°Brother Hanjue, you¡¯re here too.¡± Leng Linglong rushed over excitedly. Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan¡¯s waist and nodded indifferently. ¡°We¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, he wrapped his arm around Ye Ningxuan¡¯s waist and forcefully took her away. Leng Linglong felt wronged and stomped her feet in anger. She hadn¡¯t even had the chance to speak to Brother Hanjue. How could he leave just like that? Chapter 29 ¡°Hey, I haven¡¯t even decided to leave. Who are you to decide for me?¡± Ye Ningxuan was pushed into the car by Zhan Hanjue and questioned angrily. Grim-faced, Zhan Hanjue closed the door and ordered the driver, ¡°Drive.¡± The car started moving. Zhan Hanjue pressed something. He separated the front and back so that the back was an independent space. Ye Ningxuan panicked and subconsciously retreated until she had nowhere to retreat. ¡°What do you want, Zhan Hanjue?¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, do you still not recognize your identity?¡± Zhan Hanjue looked at her deeply. ¡°Identity? Zhan Hanjue, you lied to me. I haven¡¯t even settled the score with you yet. Why? Do you still want to settle the score with me? I hid my identity as Bai Zhi from you, but you also lied to me about your eyes. And no matter what, I helped you treat your eyes. Is this how you treat your benefactor?¡± Ye Ningxuan was very hostile. ¡°Why did you deliberately approach Lin Yuyang? What do you want from him? And why did you deliberately approach Leng Ziqing? What do you want from him?¡± Zhan Hanjue reached out and pinched her cheek, his gaze dark as he stared at her. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Ye Ningxuan shook off his hand unhappily. But in the next instant, she was in his arms. Zhan Hanjue forcefully grabbed her slender waist and pulled her towards his chest. Her hard chest hurt. ¡°Zhan Hanjue, you¡­¡± Ye Ningxuan cursed angrily, but before she could say anything, Zhan Hanjue covered her mouth. Ye Ningxuan stared at him in disbelief. This time, she saw his pupils clearly. They were deep, clear, and brighter than many people¡¯s eyes. It was like a light shining into people¡¯s hearts, dispelling all the gloom. But soon, the pain on her lips pulled her back to reality. Furious, she shoved him in the chest hard. She raised her hand and slapped his face. But Zhan Hanjue grabbed his wrist and asked in a low voice, ¡°Are you going to hit me?¡± ¡°Bastard, hooligan, if I didn¡¯t hit you, should I have let you stay for the new year?¡± Ye Ningxuan trembled in anger. It was bad enough that the bastard had forced a kiss on her, but he¡¯d bitten her. She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her lips. It was indeed bleeding. ¡°This is your punishment,¡± Zhan Hanjue said, his gaze dark. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes widened. There was no justice. It was one thing for him to lie to her, but after she healed his eyes, instead of saying thank you on his knees, he wanted to punish her? ¡°Bastard.¡± It was intolerable. Ye Ningxuan raised her other hand angrily and was about to hit him. However, this hand was also grabbed by Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue pushed her down into her seat. Seeing her furious expression, he said in a low voice, ¡°If you want to investigate your parents¡¯ deaths, I can help you. I don¡¯t need you to deliberately approach anyone else. If you agree, you¡¯ll know the outcome soon. If you don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°So what if I don¡¯t agree?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. ¡°Leave me and never appear before me again,¡± Zhan Hanjue said coldly. Ye Ningxuan was stunned, and her face lit up. ¡°Really? That¡¯s great. I don¡¯t agree. Let me go quickly.¡± In any case, she had already obtained a lot of information. It was too dangerous to stay by his side. She was undoubtedly asking a tiger for its skin. ¡°You want to leave me so badly?¡± Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression was cold with anger. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°You asked me to choose, so I chose the second option. Why? Are you going back on your word?¡± ¡°All right, I¡¯ll do it, but don¡¯t regret it.¡± Zhan Hanjue released her with a scowl, his tone harsh. Ye Ningxuan rubbed his wrist. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t regret it.¡± The car pulled into the Zhan family¡¯s house. Ye Ningxuan opened the car door and got out first. As soon as she entered, she packed her things. When Mrs. Chen learned that she was packing up to leave, she hurriedly called Old Madam Zhan over. Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t bear to part with the old lady. After all, she was really good to her. ¡°Ningxuan, did Hanjue bully you? Tell me, I¡¯ll help you teach him a lesson,¡± Old Madam Zhan asked anxiously. Ye Ningxuan felt a lump in her throat and reached out to hug her. ¡°Grandma, thank you for taking care of me these few days. In the future, I can¡¯t stay in the Zhan family. You have to take care of yourself. Remember to eat the medicinal cuisine I handed to Mrs. Chen. I guarantee you will live a long life.¡± ¡°Ningxuan, you can¡¯t leave. Hanjue, why did you bully Ningxuan? Hurry up and apologize to Ningxuan,¡± Old Madam Zhan said anxiously. Zhan Hanjue walked in with an indifferent expression. ¡°Grandma, let her go. She doesn¡¯t want to stay in the Zhan family in the first place. Why force her to stay?¡± Tears streamed down Old Madam Zhan¡¯s face. Ye Ningxuan said goodbye to Old Madam Zhan with a forced smile and left with her luggage. She left decisively, without a backward glance. ¡°Hanjue, what exactly do you want? You don¡¯t want such a good wife? Can¡¯t you forget that¡­¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with anyone else, Grandmother,¡± Zhan Hanjue interrupted. Old Madam Zhan wept. ¡°Then why did you let her go? What will you do if she goes? What will happen to my little great-grandson?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯ll come back sooner or later.¡± Zhan Hanjue looked in the direction where Ye Ningxuan had left. Old Madam Zhan froze and looked at him in surprise. Mrs. Chen quickly advised her, ¡°Old Madam, don¡¯t worry. Let the young couple settle their own matters.¡± Old Madam Zhan sighed and reprimanded Zhan Hanjue. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you¡¯re planning. In short, you have to get Ningxuan back. Otherwise, I won¡¯t spare you.¡± With that, she let Mrs. Chen support her and went back to her room sadly. Ye Ningxuan left the Zhan family and heaved a sigh of relief. Although things had developed beyond her expectations, overall things had gone well. She would find out for herself what had happened to her parents. She didn¡¯t need his help. With clues about Lin Yuyang and the Leng family, how could she not find out? ¡°Ningxuan, why are you here?¡± Taotao asked in surprise when she opened the door and saw Ye Ningxuan standing at the door with her suitcase. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°I moved out of the Zhan family, Taotao. Can I live with you from now on?¡± ¡°Really? You moved out of the Zhan family¡¯s home?¡± Wu Wei ran out, his expression excited. Ye Ningxuan nodded, but immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m here to look for Taotao. It has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°But this is a two-bedroom apartment. I live with Taotao,¡± Wu Wei said. Ye Ningxuan handed him a card. ¡°There¡¯s money in the card. Go out and stay in a hotel tonight. Keep an eye out for the next two days and find a three-bedroom apartment to rent.¡± Wu Wei was speechless. ¡°I don¡¯t want your money. I have money.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, move out by yourself. I¡¯ll stay here with Taotao. We¡¯ll split the rent.¡± Wu Wei sighed. Knowing that she was stubborn, he had no choice but to accept the card. ¡°Ningxuan, why did you move out? Did you fall out with Zhan Hanjue?¡± Wu Taotao asked in surprise as she carried the luggage in for Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan nodded. ¡°We fell out, but it¡¯s good that we fell out. After I find out some things, I can go back to the countryside with you.¡± Chapter 30 Knock, knock, knock. ¡°Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning? Are you going to let me sleep or not?¡± Annoyed, Wu Taotao got up and opened the door. As soon as it opened, a group of people rushed in. ¡°Who are you people?¡± Taotao was shocked. She stepped back and asked warily. ¡°You¡¯re Ye Ningxuan¡¯s friend? I¡¯m her aunt. Ask her to come out and see me,¡± Li Meifeng said arrogantly. Ye Ningxuan had already heard the sound and walked out of the room. ¡°Taotao, go into the room first,¡± Ye Ningxuan said to Taotao when she came out. Wu Taotao looked at her worriedly. Ye Ningxuan gave her a reassuring look. Wu Tao had no choice but to return to her room. She immediately called her brother and asked Wu Wei to hurry over. ¡°Aunt, why are you so free to come here?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked with a chuckle. Li Meifeng snorted. ¡°We already know that you were chased out of the Zhan family. The old man asked me to bring you back. After all, you¡¯re from the Ye family. Why are you living outside?¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern, Auntie and Grandpa, but I¡¯m living quite well outside, so I won¡¯t trouble you to worry about me.¡± Ye Ningxuan refused. Li Meifeng snorted. ¡°Do you think I came here to discuss it with you? Take her away.¡± Li Meifeng ordered the two maids who had followed her to capture her. However, as soon as they touched Ye Ningxuan, the two women¡¯s hands were dislocated. The two of them screamed and pointed at Ye Ningxuan. ¡°There¡¯s a ghost!¡± The two of them screamed and pointed at Ye Ningxuan. ¡°There¡¯s a ghost!¡± Two footmen rushed forward while rolling up their sleeves. However, although their hands weren¡¯t dislocated, their hands suddenly went numb and one of them lost all feeling. ¡°Madam, no. The third daughter is possessed.¡± The two footmen held their numb hands, their expressions horrified. Li Meifeng frowned fiercely. She never expected that she couldn¡¯t even subdue a weak little girl with so many people. However, if she couldn¡¯t take her away, she wouldn¡¯t be able to answer to the Old Master. Li Meifeng could only take a step back and take out her phone to call Old Master Ye. When Old Master Ye heard the situation, he snorted. ¡°I almost forgot that Tang Xiaowan¡¯s family is a Chinese medicine family. It seems that she also learned some medical skills from that old woman.¡± ¡°What now, Father?¡± Li Meifeng asked respectfully. Old Master Ye said in a low voice, ¡°Tell her that if she wants to see Ye Shao, she should come back with you obediently.¡± ¡°Okay, Father. I¡¯ll tell her.¡± Li Meifeng hung up, pleased with herself. Ye Ningxuan asked, ¡°Aunt, is there anything else?¡± Li Meifeng said with a smile, ¡°Old Master said that if you want to see Ye Shao, you have to follow me back obediently. Do you still remember Ye Shao? He was an abandoned baby adopted by your parents back then. Logically speaking, he should be considered your younger brother.¡± ¡°He¡¯s still alive?¡± Ye Ningxuan frowned. Li Meifeng said, ¡°Of course he¡¯s alive. He was still young when the accident happened. He stayed at home and slept. Naturally, he dodged a bullet.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back with you.¡± Ye Ningxuan pondered for a moment and agreed. Li Meifeng was extremely smug, but when she looked at the people she had brought, her expression was pained and she wailed continuously. She questioned angrily, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with them? Get them fixed first.¡± Ye Ningxuan walked to their side and casually waved her hand at their painful spots. Soon, these people stopped howling. ¡°Done? ¡°Is it really healed?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too strange.¡± Earlier, it had been excruciatingly painful and numb, but now it was over. It was as if everything that had just happened had been a dream, an illusion! ¡°Useless thing, let¡¯s go!¡± Li Meifeng reprimanded. Ye Ningxuan left with her, but the servants didn¡¯t dare to touch her again. The third daughter was mysterious and evil. ¡°Ningning.¡± As they reached the door, Wu Taotao chased him from the room. Wu Wei happened to be here as well. When he saw Ye Ningxuan standing among these people, he immediately rolled up his sleeves. ¡°Ningxuan, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°I volunteered to go with them. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine,¡± Ye Ningxuan comforted the two of them. Wu Wei frowned. ¡°Why are you going with them? What if they bully you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. What if they bully you?¡± Taotao also looked worried. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine. I¡¯m holding my phone. Keep in touch.¡± Ye Ningxuan waved the phone in her hand to reassure them. Since she had volunteered, there wasn¡¯thing they could do. Ye Ningxuan had always been a very opinionated person since she was young. The two of them were her sidekicks and could only listen to her obediently most of the time. ¡°Why don¡¯t we tell Zhan Hanjue about this?¡± Wu Taotao said to Wu Wei after Ye Ningxuan left. Wu Wei immediately shouted, ¡°Why tell him? Ningxuan has already fallen out with him and has nothing to do with him anymore.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there an old saying in our hometown? They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end. They¡¯re husband and wife. Can they really fall out?¡± Wu Taotao retorted. ¡°Just don¡¯t go looking for him,¡± Wu Wei ordered with a straight face. Wu Taotao curled her lips and complained softly, ¡°Even if we don¡¯t look for Zhan Hanjue, Ning Ning won¡¯t like you.¡± Wu Wei was so angry that his face turned livid. He left her angrily. ***** ¡°Where¡¯s Shao¡¯er?¡± Ye Ningxuan followed Li Meifeng back to the Ye family¡¯s residence and asked about Ye Shao¡¯s whereabouts. Li Meifeng said, ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? I¡¯ll let you see the old man first.¡± As she spoke, she left and sent someone to report to the Old Master that Ye Ningxuan had arrived. Soon, a servant came to report that the Old Master had asked her to go to his study. Ye Ningxuan had no choice but to follow the servant. Old Master Ye¡¯s study was still the same. It hadn¡¯t changed for decades. When she was young, Ye Ningxuan had come, but her father was Old Master Ye¡¯s youngest son and hadn¡¯t been favored ever since he was young. Because her father wasn¡¯t favored, she naturally didn¡¯t have any weight in the Ye family. Every time she came with her parents, she would be bullied by Ye Xuan and the others. She had also entered Old Master Ye¡¯s study once. Because Ye Xuan had pushed her, she was so angry that she rushed over and pushed Ye Xuan down. Old Master Ye was furious and ordered her to kneel in the study room. No one was allowed to plead for mercy. She knelt for six hours. She was no more than four years old that year. ¡°The last time you were in this study, I think you were four years old.¡± Old Master Ye looked at her and said slowly. Ye Ningxuan laughed. ¡°You have a good memory. You still remember something that happened so long ago. Or is it that my punishment of kneeling is extremely important to you?¡± ¡°At that time, I just wanted to punish you a little. I thought that after kneeling for ten minutes, you wouldn¡¯t take it anymore and would ask your parents to take you away. However, I didn¡¯t expect that after four hours, you didn¡¯t cry, make a fuss, or beg for mercy. You knelt for four hours until you fainted. I knew then that you really weren¡¯t¡­ You were indeed different from those children. You were too stubborn and difficult to discipline. ¡°So, when something happened to my parents, you had me sent away because you were afraid you couldn¡¯t discipline me?¡± Chapter 31 Ye Ningxuan looked at Old Master Ye and felt that it was ridiculous that he could even think of such an outlandish excuse. He really¡­ treated her as a three-year-old child? Old Master Ye didn¡¯t waste his breath explaining to her. After a while, he said slowly in a low voice, ¡°I know about you and Zhan Hanjue. Actually, I¡¯ve long expected that your personality is not suitable for the Zhan family. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re out. We¡¯ll naturally send someone else to the Zhan family.¡± Ye Ningxuan raised an eyebrow. Send someone else there? What did he mean? Send who there? What did they take Zhan Hanjue for? A tyrant in ancient times who needed a marriage alliance? Ye Ningxuan almost laughed, but she held it in and coughed lightly. ¡°These things have nothing to do with me. What about Shao¡¯er? Aunt said that you know Shao¡¯er¡¯s whereabouts. Can you tell me?¡± ¡°He was just an abandoned baby adopted by your parents. You sure are close to him.¡± Old Master Ye snorted. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°He¡¯s a child adopted by my parents, so he¡¯s naturally my brother. If you don¡¯t know his whereabouts, I¡¯ll leave immediately.¡± She turned to leave. Old Master Ye could only say, ¡°He¡¯s in the southern part of the city. I¡¯ve already sent someone to pick him up. Wait for him.¡± Ye Ningxuan stopped. ¡°That child has always been under my watch. As repayment, shouldn¡¯t you help me do something?¡± Old Master Ye made a request. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Old Master Ye said, ¡°As I said just now, after you leave the Zhan family, our family will naturally send someone else over. You¡¯ve also seen Ye Ya, your fourth sister. She¡¯s of the right age, good-looking, and has a good personality. If she goes to the Zhan family, she will definitely be able to please Zhan Hanjue. However, our Ye family is too embarrassed to ask for such a thing. Since you¡¯re Zhan Hanjue¡¯s ex-wife, why don¡¯t you talk to Zhan Hanjue about this? After discussing this matter, I¡¯ll let you take Ye Shao away. I know you don¡¯t care about the Ye family. In the future, I¡¯ll return you your freedom. You¡¯ll have nothing to do with the Ye family anymore.¡± ¡°So, you want to use this matter to sever my relationship with the Ye family?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked with a sneer. Old Master Ye stared at her and said in a low voice, ¡°Haven¡¯t you always wanted to sever ties with the Ye family?¡± Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door. ¡°Come in,¡± Old Master Ye replied in a low voice. Soon, the door opened and the butler came in. After entering, he first looked at Ye Ningxuan, then at Old Master Ye. Old Master Ye reprimanded, ¡°Just say it. She¡¯s not an outsider. She¡¯s the third daughter of the Ye family.¡± Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. At this moment, he remembered that she was the third daughter of the Ye family. ¡°The person who sent someone to look for Ye Shao has returned. He wasn¡¯t brought back.¡± The butler could only report. Old Master Ye frowned. ¡°Where is he? Why didn¡¯t he bring him back?¡± ¡°Ye Shao worked part-time in a bar and offended Feng Jiuzun.¡± Old Master Ye¡¯s eyebrows twitched. A bastard was indeed a bastard. He really knew how to cause trouble for him. Of all people, why did he offend Feng Jiuzun? ¡°Get Henghui to settle this matter. No matter what, bring him back,¡± Old Master Ye ordered in a deep voice. ¡°Yes.¡± The butler agreed. Ye Ningxuan also heard these words. She frowned slightly and quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Old Master Ye looked at her and nodded after a moment. ¡°Sure. I heard that Ye Shao is difficult to handle. He might listen to you and come back with you.¡± Ye Ningxuan left with the butler. Ye Shao was 15 years old. He was still in high school at this age! When she was four, her father brought back a small baby and told her he was her brother. Her brother was cute, she remembered. He loved to cry. One time, when he cried, Mom and Dad weren¡¯t around. Not knowing what else to do, she reached out and put her fingers in his mouth. Sure enough, he stopped crying at once. She hadn¡¯t liked her brother very much. It was that time that had made her like him. On the day of the accident, her brother was sleeping. Her mother said that her brother was too young, so they shouldn¡¯t disturb his sleep. She asked the servants to keep an eye on him while the family of three went out. Fortunately, they didn¡¯t bring her brother along. Otherwise, he might have died in the car accident. After being sent to the countryside by the Ye family, she had thought of looking for Ye Shao. But it was already difficult for her grandma to raise one child, let alone another child. Later on, when she returned to the Ye family, she specially paid attention, but didn¡¯t see Ye Shao. She thought that the Ye family had already given him away. She didn¡¯t expect to have the chance to see him again. She had mixed feelings. She wondered if that child would acknowledge her when he saw her. She didn¡¯t think so. After all, he was only two years old at the time. Most children didn¡¯t have memories before they were two. How could he remember her? **** ¡°Kneel and lick it clean, or don¡¯t even think about leaving today.¡± In Splendid Room 306, a group of people surrounded a young man. A man was sitting on the sofa opposite the young man. The man was handsome, but there was an arrogant look in his eyes as he looked at the young man with disdain. His long legs were crossed and one foot was stained with red wine. What the group of people wanted the young man to lick clean was the red wine stain on the man¡¯s leather shoes. The young man was thin and pale, with a severely malnourished appearance. His eyes were surprisingly large and his features were extremely handsome, but he was too thin and weak. However, he was extremely stubborn. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. In the face of so many threats, he was still unyielding. He refused. ¡°I won¡¯t. It¡¯s not my fault.¡± The man on the sofa snorted and looked at him with contempt. ¡°You¡¯re pretty stubborn. I¡¯d like to see how stubborn you can be.¡± With that, the man raised his hand and waved it gently. His subordinate immediately raised his fist and punched the young man. The young man was too thin to withstand such a blow. He immediately knelt on the ground while holding his chest and coughing non-stop, as if he was going to cough out his entire lungs. His subordinate raised his foot again to kick the young man. ¡°Stop it.¡± Ye Ningxuan kicked the door open and entered. The butler following her was scared to death. He was Feng Jiuzun. He was famous for being the devil incarnate. How could she kick the door open? But when he tried to stop her, it was too late. Ye Ningxuan walked in with an imposing aura. Her powerful aura made Feng Jiuzun¡¯s subordinates automatically make way. Ye Ningxuan quickly walked to the young man¡¯s side and asked with concern, ¡°How are you?¡± The young man looked up at her, confused, and shook his head. Ye Ningxuan stood up and looked at Feng Jiuzun coldly. It was too outrageous for so many people to make things difficult for a child. However, she glared at Feng Jiuzun indignantly. However, Feng Jiuzun¡¯s eyes widened the moment she entered. No one knew that the moment he saw Ye Ningxuan, his blood boiled. He felt a sense of unprecendented passion. He finally saw a girl that satisfied him. Chapter 32 Ye Ningxuan¡¯s appearance made Feng Jiuzun¡¯s eyes light up. He raised his hand and dismissed his eager subordinates. His tone was flippant as he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Ningxuan ignored him. She looked up and down at Ye Shao before taking his pulse. After taking his pulse, she couldn¡¯t help but scold Feng Jiuzun, ¡°You actually hit a child so hard.¡± ¡°Child? Who are you?¡± Feng Jiuzun was curious. The butler of the Ye family stepped forward and said to Feng Jiuzun respectfully, ¡°Young Master Feng, this is the third daughter of our family. This child is an abandoned baby adopted by the Ye family. If he has offended you in any way, please let him go on account of the Ye family.¡± ¡°Third daughter of the Ye family? The one who married Zhan Hanjue?¡± Feng Jiuzun frowned. Didn¡¯t the rumors say she was ugly? An ugly person and a blind person were well-matched. Why was she a beauty? ¡°Exactly,¡± the butler replied. Feng Jiuzun frowned. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to see a woman who matched his taste. She was actually Zhan Hanjue¡¯s woman. His mood instantly worsened. ¡°This kid offended me. He has to lick my boots clean before he can leave today. The Ye family? Even if Old Master Ye comes to see me personally, I won¡¯t give in.¡± The butler looked terrified. He didn¡¯t expect Feng Jiuzun to be so arrogant and completely disregard the Ye family. He didn¡¯t know what to do. He looked at Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan said to Ye Shao, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Then, she looked at Feng Jiuzun coldly. ¡°I want to know how my brother offended you.¡± ¡°Did you see that? He couldn¡¯t hold the plate properly and spilled the red wine on my shoes. I asked him to lick it clean for me. It¡¯s not too harsh.¡± Feng Jiuzun raised his foot for Ye Ningxuan to see. Ye Ningxuan took a look and chuckled. ¡°So it¡¯s such a small matter. I thought it was a big deal. My brother is still young and can¡¯t do this. Why don¡¯t you let me do it for him? Anyway, Mr. Feng only needs to make the shoes clean. It doesn¡¯t matter who does it.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll do it?¡± Feng Jiuzun was surprised. Such a beautiful woman licking his shoes¡­ Just the thought of it excited him. But Zhan Hanjue¡­ probably wouldn¡¯t care. Would he make things difficult for him over such a woman? ¡°Alright, you can do it for me.¡± Feng Jiuzun agreed readily. Ye Shao knew who Ye Ningxuan was now. Although he had no impression of his sister, seeing that she was so concerned and protective of him, he still grabbed her hand anxiously and shook his head at her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Ye Ningxuan said, gently patting the back of his hand. Pushing Ye Shao¡¯s hand away, Ye Ningxuan walked towards Feng Jiuzun. Feng Jiuzun watched her walk over step by step and felt his blood boil. However, at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open again and another group of people barged in. Feng Jiuzun looked displeased. Who the hell interrupted his fun? However, when he saw who came in, Feng Jiuzun¡¯s expression turned even uglier. Ye Ningxuan was also very surprised. ¡°Zhan Hanjue?¡± Zhan Hanjue glanced at her before looking at Feng Jiuzun. ¡°How dare you lay hands on my people?¡± Feng Jiuzun was shocked and immediately jumped up from the sofa. ¡°Your eyes?¡± Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t explain to him. He looked at Ye Ningxuan again. ¡°Are you leaving or not?¡± Ye Ningxuan had no intention of licking Feng Jiuzun¡¯s shoes. She just wanted to find an opportunity to teach this arrogant man a lesson. She didn¡¯t expect to be interrupted by Zhan Hanjue. Now that the opportunity was gone, she could only leave with Ye Shao. So she answered without hesitation. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zhan Hanjue led them away. Feng Jiuzun was stunned. If he didn¡¯t move, his people wouldn¡¯t dare to either. After Zhan Hanjue left, his subordinate reminded him in a low voice, ¡°Young Master, he¡¯s gone.¡± Feng Jiuzun came back to his senses. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists again. ¡°Zhan Hanjue¡­ has regained his sight.¡± ******* ¡°How did you know I was here?¡± After leaving the nightclub, Ye Ningxuan asked curiously. Zhan Hanjue said coldly, ¡°Your friend went to me and said that you had been taken away by the Ye family. He asked me to save you.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. It must be Wu Taotao. This girl really knew how to cause trouble for her. ¡°Thank you for today. We wouldn¡¯t have gotten away so easily otherwise.¡± Now that she thought about it, she had been impulsive back then. Even if she could find an opportunity to subdue Feng Jiuzun, she didn¡¯t know what kind of temper Feng Jiuzun had. If he refused to give in, it would probably not be easy for her to escape. ¡°Third Miss, you and Young Master can go back with me!¡± The butler reminded her softly. Zhan Hanjue snorted. ¡°She belongs to my family. Does the Ye family want to take her back?¡± The butler was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly explained, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that. I¡¯ll call the old man immediately.¡± After saying that, he quickly hid to the side and took out his phone to call Old Master Ye. ¡°What Zhan family? Don¡¯t forget that you personally told me not to appear in front of you again,¡± Ye Ningxuan reminded him. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression was ugly. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Shao suddenly coughed violently. He coughed several times, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper, and his pupils dilated as he fell. Ye Ningxuan was shocked and quickly hugged him. However, in the next second, Zhan Hanjue took him and said with a dark expression, ¡°Send him to the hospital first.¡± ¡°Hospital? Have you forgotten who I am?¡± Ye Ningxuan said anxiously. Zhan Hanjue handed Ye Shao to the bodyguards and let them carry him into the car. ¡°I¡¯ll take him back to the house. It¡¯s up to you whether to follow or not,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. Zhan Hanjue was taking him with him. How could she not follow? Without hesitation, she followed him into the car. The engine started and they left quickly. The butler was still reporting to Old Master Ye when he finally finished. Old Master Ye told him that he had to find a way to bring Ye Ningxuan and Ye Shao back no matter what. He had just agreed and hung up when he turned around and saw that Zhan Hanjue¡¯s car had left. They didn¡¯t even greet him. The butler was dumbfounded. Everyone had left. How could he ask the Zhan family for them? He didn¡¯t have the guts. After returning to the Zhan family¡¯s home, Zhan Hanjue got someone to carry Ye Shao back to the guest room. In fact, in the car, Ye Ningxuan had taken Ye Shao¡¯s pulse. The longer she took his pulse, the more solemn her expression became. After placing Ye Shao on the bed, Ye Ningxuan examined him again. Zhan Hanjue was standing at the side. When he saw Ye Ningxuan reaching out to undo Ye Shao¡¯s clothes, he couldn¡¯t help but frown and stop her in a cold voice. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Stripping him,¡± Ye Ningxuan replied without looking up. Zhan Hanjue frowned even more deeply and stopped her. ¡°Although you are siblings, don¡¯t forget that he is not related to you by blood.¡± ¡°So?¡± Ye Ningxuan stopped and looked up at him. ¡°You¡¯re still my wife. How can you look at another man¡¯s body?¡± ¡°Heh, so that¡¯s what you care about.¡± Ye Ningxuan sneered. ¡°However, sorry to disappoint you. I¡¯ve studied men¡¯s body thousands of times already.¡± Chapter 33 Zhan Hanjue stood by the bed with a gloomy expression as he watched Ye Ningxuan strip Ye Shao clean. However, the fifteen-year-old¡¯s body was very thin. There was really nothing to see, so Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression became slightly better. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hand pressed on his abdomen. When she pressed on a certain spot, the unconscious Ye Shao frowned in pain and woke up. Ye Ningxuan quickly let go and took his pulse again. Her expression became even more solemn. ¡°Is it serious?¡± Zhan Hanjue guessed from her face. Ye Ningxuan put down Ye Shao¡¯s hand and covered him with a blanket. ¡°It¡¯s indeed not optimistic. Let¡¯s go to the hospital tomorrow and take a scan.¡± ¡°You¡¯re¡­ my sister?¡± Ye Shao woke up. His face was pale, but his eyes looked at Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°My parents adopted you back then, and we were lucky enough to be siblings for two years. You were still young at that time, so you don¡¯t remember, but I still remember some things when you were young. Later, my parents got into a car accident, and I was also sent to the countryside by the Ye family. I was looking for you, but I didn¡¯t hear anything about you. I thought you had already been sent away by the Ye family, but I didn¡¯t expect you to still be in Jiang City. I¡¯m sorry for finding you so late.¡± He must have had a rough time over the years. As a fifteen-year-old boy, he looked too thin and malnourished. And he had a disease. She wondered how he had survived so many years. ¡°You¡¯re my sister. I have a sister. So¡­ I have a sister.¡± Ye Shao¡¯s eyes turned red as he cried. His chest kept rising and falling. Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t expect him to be so emotional and even cry. She quickly comforted him. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. With me around, no one will bully you again.¡± ¡°Sister.¡± Ye Shao burst into tears and struggled to sit up while hugging her tightly. Ye Ningxuan was stunned! Helplessly, she reached up and gently stroked his back, calming him slowly. This time, Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t rush to separate them. He walked out. Ye Ningxuan looked at his back, her eyes filled with gratitude. After Ye Shao calmed down, Ye Ningxuan let him lie on the bed and poured him another cup of warm water. She asked him about his experiences over the years. Ye Shao shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that I was related to the Ye family. I¡¯ve been in the orphanage since I could remember. I heard from the people who picked me up that my name is Ye Shao, and they call me Ye Shao. Life in the orphanage¡­ It¡¯s been difficult. I came out when I was 13 years old and wandered outside alone. I did everything as long as I could survive.¡± He had even snatched food from wild cats and dogs. However, he didn¡¯t dare to say these words out loud, since he was afraid that Ye Ningxuan would feel disgusted and despise him. However, even if he didn¡¯t say it, Ye Ningxuan could guess how difficult it was for him to survive alone outside. Her heart ached even more. She remembered how happy her parents had been when her father had carried him back. They¡¯d bought him beautiful clothes and toys. They¡¯d really doted on him like he was their own child. They¡¯d treated him no worse than they¡¯d treated her. He¡¯d once been the apple of her parents¡¯ eye. However, because her parents had passed away unexpectedly, this baby had become someone that everyone could bully. ¡°With me around in the future, you won¡¯t have to live such a hard life anymore, nor do you have to worry about being bullied.¡± Ye Ningxuan reached out and patted his head. It was just like when she¡¯d first seen him as a child and touched his head the same way. Ye Shao¡¯s eyes turned red again and tears flowed out. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll follow you from now on.¡± He knew Ye Ningxuan wasn¡¯t just saying that. She would really protect him, just as she had today. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked again. Ye Shao didn¡¯t speak, but his stomach growled. Ye Ningxuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to prepare some food for you immediately. You can take a shower later and have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow¡­ I¡¯m going to take you to the hospital for a checkup. Don¡¯t be afraid. You¡¯ll be fine.¡± Ye Shao nodded. Ye Ningxuan went out. Zhan Hanjue was standing outside. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, can I trouble your servants to make him some food and find some clean clothes for him to wear?¡± Ye Ningxuan said awkwardly. Zhan Hanjue said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re still the young madam of the Zhan family. Tell them what you want.¡± ¡°But you said¡­¡± ¡°I also said that if you agree, you will get more than what you want. From now on, you are the only young madam of the Zhan family and my only wife.¡± ¡°Can I think about it again?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked, her gaze pleading. Zhan Hanjue glanced at her. ¡°Seven days. You have seven days to think about it.¡± With that, Zhan Hanjue left and returned to his room. Ye Ningxuan smiled. She had seven days. What couldn¡¯t she find in seven days? ¡°Butler Wu,¡± Ye Ningxuan called out. Butler Wu came over quickly and asked respectfully, ¡°Young Madam, why are you looking for me?¡± ¡°Instruct the kitchen to cook some porridge. When cooking the porridge, add some medicinal herbs to it to replenish his energy and add some ice sugar. Also, prepare a set of¡­ boys¡¯ pajamas for someone about 1.65 meters tall. Also, prepare some boys¡¯ outerwear and shoes. Send them over when they¡¯re ready.¡± ¡°Yes, Young Madam. I¡¯ll get right on it,¡± Butler Wu quickly agreed. Soon, the porridge was ready and sent in with some side dishes. The clothes were ready, too. There were three sets of pajamas in various materials and colors. He prepared five sets of coats and five pairs of shoes. Butler Wu said that if they weren¡¯t satisfied, he would order someone to handle it again. ¡°It¡¯s very good. Thank you. It¡¯s been hard on you,¡± Ye Ningxuan thanked him. After Butler Wu left, Ye Ningxuan looked at the stunned Ye Shao and said, ¡°Eat something first. After you¡¯re done, go take a shower. These clothes are all yours. You can wear them tomorrow.¡± ¡°Sister, is this the Ye family¡¯s home?¡± Ye Shao asked. Ye Ningxuan told him with a serious expression, ¡°Of course this isn¡¯t the Ye family¡¯s home. Remember, there are no good people in the Ye family.¡± ¡°But you¡¯re a good person,¡± Ye Shao said. Ye Ningxuan snorted. ¡°That¡¯s because I wasn¡¯t a member of the Ye family a long time ago. My surname was left to me by my father, but it has nothing to do with the current Ye family.¡± Ye Shao nodded blankly. Although he didn¡¯t understand much, he remembered his sister¡¯s words. His sister¡¯s surname was Ye, and so was his. Ye was the surname their father had left them. However, they had nothing to do with the Ye family. The Ye family weren¡¯t good people. After dinner, Ye Ningxuan let him rest for a while before going to shower and sleep. When he went to take a shower, Ye Ningxuan came out with an empty bowl. However, as soon as she came out, she saw the maid guarding the door. She handed her the empty bowl. ¡°Young Madam, Young Master said that after you¡¯re done here, you can go to his room to look for him.¡± Butler Wu walked over and reminded her. Ye Ningxuan nodded and turned to look for Zhan Hanjue. Chapter 34 Knock, knock, knock. ¡°Enter.¡± Ye Ningxuan pushed open the door and entered. Zhan Hanjue glanced up at her and tossed a file on the table. ¡°It¡¯s everything about your parents before the accident. It¡¯s all here. If there¡¯s anything you want to know, you can get a clue from this.¡± ¡°Are you going to show it to me for free, or is it in the terms?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s within the terms.¡± ¡°You said you¡¯d give me a week to think about it,¡± said Ye Ningxuan immediately. Zhan Hanjue said, ¡°I did say I¡¯d give you a week to think about it. So it¡¯s up to you to see it or not.¡± Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. He was really cunning. He had promised to give her a week to think about it, but he had deliberately thrown the information in front of her. If she couldn¡¯t help but look, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to agreeing to his conditions? ¡°Young Madam, bad news. Young Master Ye suddenly rolled on the bed with abdominal pain.¡± Butler Wu suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in while reporting to Ye Ningxuan urgently. Ye Ningxuan was shocked and immediately ran to Ye Shao¡¯s room. Zhan Hanjue frowned and followed. When Ye Ningxuan arrived at Ye Shao¡¯s room, she saw that Ye Shao¡¯s face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He held his stomach and kept rolling on the bed. He was groaning in pain and was in a very bad state. She quickly took out a silver needle and stuck it into him. She quickly took his pulse and took out a few silver needles to insert. After the silver needle was inserted, Ye Shao¡¯s pain improved slightly. However, Ye Ningxuan knew that his illness couldn¡¯t be cured by Chinese medicine. She quickly asked Butler Wu to prepare a car and send him to the hospital. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Butler Wu arranged for someone to carry Ye Shao to the car. Ye Ningxuan also wanted to follow them. When she passed by Zhan Hanjue, he grabbed her arm. Ye Ningxuan turned to look at him and nodded slightly. The two of them got into the car and sent Ye Shao to the hospital. Ye Shao¡¯s situation was urgent, and with Zhan Hanjue personally coming, the hospital took it very seriously. The dean was already resting. When he received the news, he got up and came over personally for a consultation. Soon, the results came back. As Ye Ningxuan had expected, Ye Shao had uremia. After he was beaten up by Feng Jiuzun¡¯s men, one of his kidneys was seriously injured and ruptured. Now, he needed emergency surgery. ¡°We need to operate immediately to remove that kidney. However, his condition is already very serious. It¡¯s best to find a suitable kidney source as soon as possible and arrange for a kidney transplant,¡± the doctor said to Ye Ningxuan after the consultation. Ye Ningxuan nodded. ¡°Immediately.¡± The doctor hadn¡¯t expected her to make a decision so quickly. Most patients¡¯ families would consider it first. However, since she could make a decision so quickly, it saved them a lot of trouble. Hence, she immediately arranged an operation for Ye Shao. During the surgery, Ye Ningxuan said to Zhan Hanjue, ¡°He needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible. Can you help find a suitable kidney source?¡± With Zhan Hanjue¡¯s status and position, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to accomplish. Although Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t want to beg him, time was precious. In order to save time, it was most convenient to ask him for help. ¡°I can help. I can even send him abroad for treatment. But why should I help you?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to take advantage of the current situation! Don¡¯t forget, I healed your eyes. Think of it as returning the favor.¡± ¡°And don¡¯t forget that you married me to use me to find out the truth about the accident. I paid a price for you treating my eyes. The payment for two questions has already been honored,¡± Zhan Hanjue reminded her. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. She shouldn¡¯t have asked those two questions, especially the last one. It was simply a waste of opportunity. ¡°I can wait while you think about it,¡± Zhan Hanjue said. Ye Ningxuan thought to herself, ¡°You can wait, but Ye Shao can¡¯t.¡± ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth and agreed. Zhan Hanjue¡¯s lips curved in a sly smile. ¡°I want to read that information when I get back,¡± Ye Ningxuan said again. Since she had agreed, she naturally had to get more benefits. ¡°Alright, you can read it whenever you want. From now on, you¡¯re my wife. Whatever you want, as long as it¡¯s something I can do, I¡¯ll satisfy you,¡± Zhan Hanjue promised. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Why did these words¡­ make her blush? She must have been frightened by Ye Shao¡¯s incident and was mentally unstable. She quickly checked his pulse. If her heart was fine, she must have been frightened! As expected of the king of Jiang City¡¯s business empire, Zhan Hanjue actually solved the problem of the kidney donor in three days. Ye Shao had a kidney transplant, and the surgery was very successful. However, it would take a period of treatment to determine if his condition was stable. It would take some time to get used to it, since it wasn¡¯t his own kidney. Ye Ningxuan went to look at him. He cried when he saw Ye Ningxuan. ¡°Sister, thank you. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have died.¡± ¡°Since you call me your sister, I naturally won¡¯t watch you die. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll protect you from now on.¡± Ye Shao nodded with tears in his eyes. This child was already extremely good-looking. When he cried like this, it made one¡¯s heart ache. Wu Taotao came over with Ye Ningxuan. When she saw Ye Shao, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°What a lovable little boy.¡± ¡°He¡¯s only fifteen,¡± Ye Ningxuan reminded her. Wu Taotao immediately said, ¡°I know. I¡¯m just admiring him. But Ningxuan, although he was adopted by your family, he really looks like you, especially his features. I heard that adopted children usually look like their own children.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Ye Shao carefully and felt that his eyebrows were very similar to hers. Or rather, very much like her mother¡¯s. ¡°Doc, I want a DNA test,¡± Ye Ningxuan said to the doctor. The doctor looked at her in surprise, but because she was the wife of the president of the Zhan Corporation, he quickly agreed. The results were out very quickly. Ye Ningxuan and Ye Shao were actually related by blood. But they weren¡¯t immediate family. It was probably collateral. But she didn¡¯t know if they were related on her father¡¯s side or her mother¡¯s. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to really be your younger brother. I wonder which side of the family he¡¯s from,¡± Wu Taotao exclaimed in surprise. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°He might be my mother¡¯s relative. If he was from the Ye family, would they treat him like this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Unfortunately, your mother has no family left. The truth will probably be buried.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. The Ye family must know something. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t know that Ye Shao was in the orphanage and even know his whereabouts. They must have sent people to monitor him. If they didn¡¯t know his background, why would they monitor a child like him? However, we¡¯ll find an opportunity to ask the Ye family and find out the truth.¡± Ye Ningxuan¡¯s lips curled up, and a cold look flashed across her eyes. Chapter 35 ¡°Madam.¡± Ye Ningxuan was reading in the hospital when Chen Tan suddenly came over and greeted her respectfully. ¡°Yes?¡± Ye Ningxuan put down her book. Chen Tan looked at Wu Taotao. Wu Taotao immediately said tactfully, ¡°I¡¯ll go out for a walk. Have a good chat.¡± ¡°You even specifically sent the people around me away. Is it urgent?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked slowly. Chen Tan said, ¡°It¡¯s not that urgent. I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll be embarrassed, Madam. It was the boss who instructed me to come over and ask you when you¡¯re going to move back home.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°Ahem, Shao¡¯er hasn¡¯t healed yet. I might¡­ it¡¯ll be a while before I can go back.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell the boss. However, the boss said that the information about your parents¡¯ car accident will expire before ten tonight. If you don¡¯t hurry home to read it, you might not be able to see it,¡± Chen Tan reminded with a smile. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Expire?¡± It wasn¡¯t a snack. How could it expire?¡¯ Zhan Hanjue had gone out of his way to force her to return home. Chen Tan smiled but said nothing. Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth. ¡°Okay, go back and tell him that I¡¯ll go back tonight. Ask him to wash his neck and wait for me.¡± Chen Tan was speechless. The CEO¡¯s wife was really¡­ daring to say such bold words. He blushed and nodded awkwardly. He fled and left in a hurry. Ye Ningxuan looked at his fleeing back figure and snorted. Did he really think she was a sensitive and ignorant little girl? However, Zhan Hanjue was really¡­ Actually, when she agreed to Zhan Hanjue¡¯s conditions that day, he asked her to go back with him that night. ¡°Now that you have agreed, you must do your duty as Mrs. Zhan.¡± ¡°Help you undress?¡± Ye Ningxuan thought of how he had asked her to do her duty as Mrs. Zhan on their wedding night. ¡°I¡¯ll take it off for you this time,¡± Zhan Hanjue whispered in her ear, leaning close. Ye Ningxuan blushed and immediately thought of something that only happened between couples. Her pupils dilated and she took a step back while looking at him in horror. ¡°As you suspect, yes.¡± Zhan Hanjue actually nodded primly. Ye Ningxuan was caught between laughter and tears. After a while, she said, ¡°I did promise you, but I didn¡¯t say that I would do it immediately¡­ My brother is still in the hospital, and I¡¯m not in the mood. If you can¡¯t wait, I can introduce you to others.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Take good care of Ye Shao. I can afford to wait.¡± Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t pester her and turned to leave. Actually, Ye Ningxuan wanted to go back that night to look at the information he had gathered. After all, she was also very curious about what had happened back then and who was involved in the car accident. But because of Zhan Hanjue¡¯s words, she had no choice but to dismiss the idea of going home. Not only did she not go back that day, but she didn¡¯t go back for a week. Fortunately, her luggage had been sent to Wu Taotao¡¯s residence previously, so she called her and asked her to bring her clothes. All of Ye Shao¡¯s treatment fees were naturally billed to Zhan Hanjue. Ye Ningxuan got the hospital to book a VIP ward for him to stay in. She didn¡¯t expect Zhan Hanjue to be so despicable. Seeing that she had not returned after a long time, he actually asked Chen Tan to come over and tell her that the data would expire. Ye Ningxuan was furious. After Chen Tan left, Wu Taotao ran back. ¡°What did he come to tell you? Why does his expression look so strange?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Help me prepare some things.¡± Ye Ningxuan snorted. Trying to outwit her? He was a virgin who didn¡¯t even understand the matters between men and women. He was thinking too simply. ¡°What is it?¡± Wu Taotao asked. Ye Ningxuan whispered in her ear and Tao Tao blushed. She couldn¡¯t help but punch her shoulder. ¡°Ningning, you¡¯re so bad.¡± ¡°Hurry up and shop online to help me prepare.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled. Wu Taotao held back her laughter and nodded. After dinner, Ye Ningxuan asked the driver to take her home. He thought that Zhan Hanjue was already at home, but he didn¡¯t expect him to not be back from work yet. Butler Wu asked her to have dinner first. He said that the young master had something to attend to tonight and wouldn¡¯t be back for dinner. ¡°Business engagement? Didn¡¯t he never socialize in the past? Why is he socializing now?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked curiously. Butler Wu replied with a smile, ¡°In the past, Young Master didn¡¯t have good eyesight and didn¡¯t want to meet anyone. Now that his eyesight has recovered, he¡¯s naturally willing to go out to socialize. The old lady said that we have to thank you for this. She asked us to prepare a few more decent clothes for you. In the future, you will definitely go out to socialize with Young Master.¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly. After eating, she immediately searched online and realized what she had missed in the hospital these days. The recovery of Zhan Hanjue¡¯s vision caused an uproar online, especially when he participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a project. His appearance shocked everyone. The socialites who had been afraid of being chosen by the Zhan family to become Zhan Hanjue¡¯s wife were all filled with regret. If they could marry such a man, they would be willing to die in a moment. Looking at the comments about Zhan Hanjue on the Internet, Ye Ningxuan felt that it was ironic. Everyone in the world ignorantly joined the bandwagon and thought that they knew the entire truth. ¡°Chen Tan, when is your boss coming back? Didn¡¯t you say that the files will expire at ten? It¡¯s already nine o¡¯clock. If he doesn¡¯t come back and I can¡¯t see it, who will be responsible?¡± At the hotel, Ye Ningxuan finally couldn¡¯t help but take out her phone and call Chen Tan. Chen Tan asked her to wait for a moment. He must have asked Zhan Hanjue. He quickly replied, ¡°Madam, the boss said that the information is still on the table in his study. You can go over and take a look now.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Ye Ningxuan immediately hung up. She hurried toward Zhan Hanjue¡¯s study. She pushed open the study door and turned on the light. Sure enough, there was a folder on the desk. It was the folder that Zhan Hanjue had thrown on the table that day. What was¡­ inside? Ye Ningxuan was a little nervous. She took a deep breath and opened the information bag with trembling hands. There were photographs of the crash site, and some papers. Ye Ningxuan looked at the photos of the accident scene first. When she saw the remains of the car in the photo, some memories came to mind. Those random memories whizzed out and gave her a splitting headache. She covered her head with one hand and held on to the table with the other, her body swaying. But it was too painful! She couldn¡¯t hold on. Her head was spinning. She staggered back. But instead of falling to the ground, she landed in a warm, strong embrace. His vision blurred. Looking up, all he could see was the vague outline of a human face. The voice seemed to come from the distant horizon. ¡°What happened to you?¡± He asked her in a low voice. She opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out. In the end, she couldn¡¯t hold on anymore. Her vision darkened and she fainted. Chapter 36 Ye Ningyuan had a dream. The car flipped over in the deep ditch with a screech and a hiss. The smell of gasoline around them grew stronger. The little girl awoke in the woman¡¯s embrace. Because the woman no longer had any signs of life, the strength of her arms gradually disappeared. She let go. The woman¡¯s head was broken and dripping blood that dropped all over the little girl¡¯s face. The little girl reached up and wiped her face. It was sticky and smelled strongly of blood. She, who had always loved cleanliness, felt uncomfortable and burst into tears. She was crying and shouting, ¡°Daddy, Mommy, Daddy, Mommy.¡± But her mom and dad would no longer respond to her. One had died on the spot. The other, though still showing signs of life, was in a deep coma. The little girl was frightened, extremely frightened. Because she was afraid, she cried even harder as she shouted, ¡°Mom! Dad!¡± ¡°Stop crying.¡± Just as the little girl¡¯s throat began to hurt from crying, she suddenly heard a hoarse but tender voice. She immediately stopped crying and tried to claw her way out. However, although the woman¡¯s hand released her, her calf was pressed under the woman and she could not move. In spite of herself, she began to cry again. ¡°Brother,¡± she cried, ¡°I can¡¯t move.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Crawl out hard. Crawl out now.¡± The older boy¡¯s voice was clearer. Still, she couldn¡¯t climb out. All she could do was keep crying. Finally, someone crawled over. He was an older boy. His face was covered in blood. She couldn¡¯t see his face clearly. Although his face was a little scary, on this terrifying night, it was the only source of light she could see. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll take you with me.¡± The older boy held out his hands to give her his arms. The little girl had been pulled her out with all his strength and her legs were free. She laughed happily and shouted, ¡°I can move. I can move.¡± ¡°Mommy, Daddy. Save my mommy and daddy,¡± the little girl shouted at the older boy. But the older boy stumbled with her in his arms as he struggled to find his way out of there. Finally, after setting her down on a mound of dirt farther away from the car, he said hoarsely to her, ¡°Don¡¯t move. I¡¯m going back¡­ to save people.¡± The little girl nodded dazedly. But the older boy had turned and gone only a few steps when a car exploded first. The boom was deafening. Soon, the other car also exploded. Both kids passed out from the blast. ¡°Whew.¡± Ye Ningxie instantly opened her eyes and sat up in shock! Lord Zhanhan, sitting beside her bed, was startled by her reaction. ¡°Zombie?¡± he asked with a frown. ¡°I had a dream,¡± Ye Ningxuan said. But after saying that, she frowned. What did she dream of? She couldn¡¯t remember any of it. All she could remember was the final boom of the explosion. The blinding light was the last thing she saw. It was a dream about the car accident. Ye Ningxie hurriedly looked around, her expression flustered and anxious. ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Lord Zhanhan asked. Ye Ningyuan ignored him and muttered to herself, ¡°Where did it go? Where did it go?¡± ¡°Ye Ningning.¡± Lord Zhanhan snapped at her, startling her into silence. ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Lord Zhanhan asked again, his face grim. Ye Ningshen said, ¡°The information you gave me. I saw it before I fainted. Where is it now?¡± Without a word, Lord Zhanhan turned and left. Quickly, he returned with the files and tossed them in front of her. Ye Ningxie hurriedly opened the files and carefully read through the information inside, but she could not think of anything. She tapped the side of her head in frustration. How utterly useless. She had already dreamed about it. It must have been the scene of the accident. How could she have forgotten about it when she woke up? ¡°What¡¯s with this picture?¡± Ye Ningxie was feeling vexed when she suddenly saw one of the photos in the pile. Her expression changed. Zhan Hanjue took a look and said calmly, ¡°If I remember correctly, the woman in the photo is your mother, Tang Xiaowan. The other man is Lin Yuyang¡¯s father, Lin Furui.¡± ¡°I know it¡¯s them, but why are they together?¡± Ye Ningshen asked. The man and woman in the photo were sitting in the caf¨¦, the warm sun shining on them. The man reached out and held the woman¡¯s hand tightly. In the scene, they didn¡¯t look like mere friends. It looked more like a couple flirting with each other. Of course, if a married man and woman did this, it would not be an ambiguous relationship between lovers, but an affair. But ¡­ it couldn¡¯t be. Her mother would never do anything to betray her and her father. Although she¡¯d been young at the time, she remembered how loving her parents had been. Her mother always looked at her father gently. Her father looked back at her just as tenderly. They were so in love. How could her mother have cheated on her father and betrayed her family? And the man was her best friend¡¯s husband. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t know,¡± said Lord Warhan. ¡°Where did this picture come from?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Lord Zhanhan said, ¡°A journalist. A dozen years ago, he specialized in photographing the privacy of the wealthy for extortion.¡± ¡°Who did he blackmail with this picture?¡± asked Ye Ningxuan. ¡°Want to know?¡± Lord Zhanhan looked at her intently. Ye Ningyuan nodded. Of course she wanted to know. But she glanced sideways and avoided eye contact. ¡°Explain this to me first and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Lord Zhanhan pulled out a bag and tossed it on the bed. Ye Ningning was speechless. She quickly opened it and saw that it was actually¡­ sex toys and what she had asked for. ¡°Hehe, where did you get it?¡± Ye Ningning smiled awkwardly. Actually, she¡¯d already guessed. Asking this question was just a last-ditch effort. ¡°It was sent by Wu Xiaotao. You were unconscious, so she handed this to me and asked me to pass it to you.¡± Lord Zhanhan smiled slightly. Ye Ningning gritted her teeth. How could Wu Xiaotao give these to Lord Zhan Han? ¡°Explain first,¡± Lord Zhanhan said. ¡°What are these for? Who are you planning to give them to?¡± Ye Ningning bit her lip and was about to explain when Lord Zhan Han interrupted her. ¡°Think about it first. Find a reason that at least won¡¯t insult my intelligence. If you really can¡¯t think of one, just tell the truth. Confession works all the time.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be honest. I was planning to use it on you to make you lose your senses, then give you sex toys. You haven¡¯t¡­ slept with a woman anyway, so it would be easy to fool you,¡± Ye Ningxie said with her eyes closed. Lord Zhanhan was speechless. His expression immediately darkened! ¡°Impressive, Ye Ningning.¡± Lord Zhanhan snorted and stood up to leave. ¡°I was wrong. I really was wrong.¡± Ye Ningning immediately jumped off the bed and hugged his waist to stop him from leaving. Chapter 37 Zhan Hanjue¡¯s expression was cold as he ruthlessly pulled Ye Ningxuan¡¯s hand away, causing her to fall onto the bed. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to, I won¡¯t force you. Ye Ningxuan, I don¡¯t lack women.¡± Then he turned and left. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. Was she being despised? ¡°Grandma, do you know what Hanjue likes to eat?¡± Ye Ningxuan ran to Old Madam Zhan¡¯s side and asked humbly. She had completely offended Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue refused to see her again. She went to look for him but was stopped by Butler Wu. Butler Wu looked troubled. ¡°Young Madam, don¡¯t make things difficult for me. Young Master said that you are no longer qualified to enter this study. You should go back!¡± Not only did he refuse to let her into the study, but when she finally saw him in the living room, he walked past her with a straight face and a blank expression, treating her like she wasn¡¯t there. Ye Ningxuan was anxious. How could he ignore her? If he ignored her, who would tell her about the pictures?¡¯ She had no choice but to ask Old Madam Zhan for help. She had asked the servants of the Zhan family, but no one knew Zhan Hanjue¡¯s interests or hobbies. Even Butler Wu couldn¡¯t help. ¡°What he likes to eat?¡± Old Madam Zhan thought for a moment and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Hanjue is a child who doesn¡¯t care about food or drink, but why are you suddenly asking?¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s nothing. I just want to know his hobby and please him,¡± Ye Ningxuan explained with a smile. Old Madam Zhan pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re still lying to me. I heard from Butler Wu that the two of you have been fighting recently?¡± ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Ye Ningxuan apologized guiltily. Old Madam Zhan smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize. I heard from Butler Wu that Hanjue was so angry that he didn¡¯t even let you into his study. I was very happy to hear that you ignored him.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. ¡°Grandma, I thought you liked me a lot,¡± she complained miserably. Zhan Hanjue was ignoring her. It stung that the old lady felt happy about it. ¡°You don¡¯t know,¡± said Old Madam Zhan earnestly. ¡°Hanjue has always been indifferent. Not to mention after his father¡¯s death, even when his father was around, he was very aloof about everything. It was as if nothing could affect his emotions. Even if the sky collapsed, he wouldn¡¯t be fazed, not to mention fighting with someone to the point of ignoring them. You¡¯re the first. Don¡¯t you think that makes him more human? In the past, he seemed like he didn¡¯t have any emotions. It¡¯s not good. I worry just looking at him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m actually the first person to anger him?¡± Ye Ningxuan was surprised. Why was she so unlucky? Old Madam Zhan said, ¡°He likes you. That¡¯s why you¡¯re able to make him angry. He doesn¡¯t get angry with people who are irrelevant. So if you want to please him, do it the way a woman does it. He won¡¯t stay angry with you.¡± Like her? How could that be possible? When one liked someone, they were very gentle to her. With that attitude, how could Zhan Hanjue like her? ¡°Grandma, please teach me,¡± Ye Ningxuan begged pitifully. Whether or not he liked her or not, she would find a way to appease him first.¡¯ Old Madam Zhan shook her head. ¡°Such things can only be understood and not conveyed in words. Think about it yourself.¡± Ye Ningxuan pouted. The old lady was too petty. She refused to show her the way. She¡¯d only studied medical books since she was a child. She could dissect a corpse, but studying a man¡¯s interests? That wasn¡¯t something she was good at. ¡°Ningxuan, how did it go? Did you get the things?¡± In the evening, Wu Taotao called her to ask about the progress of the matter. Ye Ningxuan gritted his teeth and said angrily, ¡°How dare you say that? I asked you to find the things for me, but why did you give the things to Zhan Hanjue?¡± ¡°He opened it? How can that be? I clearly told him that this is yours and that he can¡¯t open it,¡± Wu Taotao complained. Ye Ningxuan closed her eyes. She didn¡¯t want to talk to her anymore. ¡°Now, he¡¯s angry and won¡¯t talk to me, but I have something to ask him. How can I ask if he doesn¡¯t talk to me? Hurry up and help me think of something. How can I please him?¡± ¡°Buy him deliciuos food,¡± Wu Taotao suggested. Ye Ningxuan snorted. ¡°I asked the servants and his grandmother. He¡¯s not interested in food, drink, clothes, or goods.¡± ¡°Then buy him something fun to play with?¡± Wu Taotao suggested again. Ye Ningxuan sneered. ¡°Do you think someone like Zhan Hanjue will like to play transformers or remote-controlled cars?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He looks cold and aloof. He probably doesn¡¯t like to play. Then I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t think of anything else,¡± Wu Taotao said aggrievedly. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°Old Madam Zhan said to please him with women¡¯s methods. Tao Tao, what do you think women¡¯s methods are?¡± ¡°I know,¡± Wu Taotao screamed. ¡°I¡¯ll pack up the Mary Sue novels I¡¯ve read and send them to you immediately. Read them carefully and you¡¯ll understand what a woman¡¯s solution is.¡± Ye Ningxuan was speechless. Soon, she received Wu Taotao¡¯s files. When she opened it, she saw things like ¡°The Devil¡¯s Father Kisses Me¡±, ¡°Overbearing Presidents Beg for Hug¡±, ¡°Tonight, I¡¯ll Go to the Witch Mountain with You¡±¡­ Her expression darkened. No wonder her grades never improved. She spent all her time reading these kinds of books. If the village chief knew about this, he would definitely break her legs. Ten minutes later. Ye Ningxuan read with relish. It took about three hours to skim through the first half of a dozen books and come to a conclusion. Men were afraid of clingy women. Men were all stubborn but soft-hearted. To deal with such an arrogant and ruthless man, she had to be clingy. Zhan Hanjue was staying in the study. When he was thirsty, he asked Butler Wu to bring tea in, but it was Ye Ningxuan who pushed the door open. When he smelled something wrong, he looked up. As soon as he saw Ye Ningxuan, his expression darkened and he shouted at the door, ¡°Butler Wu, what happened?¡± Butler Wu came in with an aggrieved expression. ¡°Young Master, the old lady instructed me not to stop Young Madam. I had no choice.¡± Ye Ningxuan waved her hand and asked Butler Wu to leave. Grinning, she brought the tea to him and smiled apologetically. ¡°Don¡¯t blame Butler Wu. He¡¯s just a butler. He has to listen to you and Grandma. He¡¯s quite pitiful at his age. Don¡¯t make things difficult for him.¡± ¡°Get out.¡± Zhan Hanjue scowled at her and refused to say another word to her. Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. She mustered her courage and sat on Zhan Hanjue¡¯s lap. ¡°I was wrong. I was really wrong. Give me another chance. I promise I won¡¯t play any tricks on you this time.¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± Zhan Hanjue pinched her chin with one hand and stared deeply into her eyes. Chapter 38 Ye Ningyuan sat in Lord Zhanhan¡¯s arms while looking flustered. She knew what she was doing, of course, and what would happen if she nodded. ¡°Go away.¡± Lord Zhanhan released his grip and stood up, causing Ye Ningning to fall to the ground. ¡°I haven¡¯t answered yet,¡± Ye Ningyuan said anxiously. Lord Zhanhan snorted. ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer. I already know your answer.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t cooperate,¡± Ye Ningyuan muttered softly. ¡°But you won¡¯t be doing it willingly. I¡¯ll make you lie in my arms willingly one day, Ye Ning¡¯er.¡± Lord Zhanhan looked down at her. Ye Ningning was speechless. Her eyes shifted and she smiled. ¡°Sure. Why don¡¯t we make a bet and see who has the ability to make the other party fall in love first? The one who falls in love first has to obey the other party unconditionally. Do you dare to bet?¡± ¡°What if you do not mean what you say?¡± Lord Zhanhan asked. Ye Ningshen got up from the ground. ¡°Isn¡¯t that easy? I heard that your company has developed a new smart wristband that can measure the speed of a person¡¯s heartbeat. When it reaches a certain heartbeat, it will automatically beep. You and I are both healthy young people with no problems with our hearts. Other than when in love, our hearts shouldn¡¯t be racing at other times.¡± ¡°Chen Tan, take two smart bracelets and ask for a couple¡¯s type.¡± Lord Zhan Han immediately called Chen Tan and asked him to send them over. Chen Tan quickly sent the smart bracelets over. ¡°Connect us,¡± Lord Zhanhan ordered. Chen Tan was stunned for a moment. He immediately entered the information for them and connected the two bracelets together. ¡°If something happens to the other party, the other person¡¯s bracelet will automatically call the police. In addition to the automatic alarm, there are also many functions such as positioning and voice.¡± After Chen Tan connected the bracelet, he told them the function of the bracelet. ¡°It¡¯s so advanced?¡± Ye Ningshen exclaimed. Chen Tan smiled and said, ¡°This is a smart couple bracelet that our company has recently developed. It¡¯s very popular among couples. Moreover, it has a special function. Couple¡¯s bracelets can only lock onto one couple and cannot be connected to other bracelets.¡± ¡°If the couple breaks up like this, won¡¯t the other one become invalid? You can¡¯t even give it to another person if you want to. Your company¡¯s R&D staff is really smart. You can sell many more models like this.¡± Chen Tan smiled. ¡°In terms of sales, that¡¯s indeed the case. However, from the perspective of a couple, this is also a good opportunity to show their sincerity to each other.¡± ¡°Chen Tan found the photo. You can ask him if you have any questions,¡± Lord Zhanhan said. With that, he left. Ye Ningshen was surprised that he was willing to tell her about the photo so soon. She thought he wouldn¡¯t tell her until he¡¯d lost the bet. ¡°What do you want to ask, Madam?¡± Chen Tan asked. Ye Ningning said, ¡°It¡¯s about the photos. Can the person who took them still be found? I want to see him.¡± Chen Tan nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange it immediately.¡± Ye Ningyuan heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but feel grateful to Zhan Hanjue. Soon, Chen Tan arranged a time for Ye Ningxie to meet the person who took the photo. This person¡¯s name was Wang Xiaohu. He was originally a reporter, but he made a mistake and was fired by the newspaper agency. He accidentally took photos of rich people having affairs. When the rich people found out, they gave him a stack of hush money. From then on, it was as if he had discovered a new continent. He focused on tracking the rich people. However, he had finally offended a big shot more than ten years ago. He was beaten up so badly that his legs were crippled. From then on, he no longer dared to follow and film tycoons. Instead, he became a paparazzi. At that time, the industry of the paparazzi had just risen. He was one of the first people in it, so he made a small profit. He was no longer with anyone. He was mainly commanding with a few of his men. Chen Tan had used some unknown method to subdue him. When he saw Ye Ningxie, he froze for a moment before bowing and greeting her. ¡°Sit down. There are some questions I want to ask you,¡± said Ye Ningyuan. Wang Xiaohu sat down. He did not dare to look up at Ye Ningxie, but Ye Ningxie¡¯s appearance¡­ made him want to look up, so he looked shifty. Ye Ningxie said, ¡°If you want to look at me, just look at me openly! Doing this will make you look very perverted.¡± Wang Xiaohu was embarrassed. He raised his head and explained with an awkward smile, ¡°Madam, I don¡¯t mean anything else. It¡¯s just that your appearance¡­ is very similar to a madam I photographed in the past, so I couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances.¡± ¡°Is she in this photo?¡± Ye Ningshen took out the photo and showed it to him. Wang Xiaohu took a look and immediately nodded. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Madam Ye. She was really beautiful. She was even more beautiful than many female celebrities.¡± ¡°Let me ask you, is there really something between them?¡± Ye Ningshen asked. Wang Xiaohu quickly shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I just took photos. Previously, I heard that there was something fishy going on with Lin Ruifu, so I followed him for a few days. I saw another woman, but I didn¡¯t expect to see him dating Madam Ye, so I took two photos.¡± ¡°Then have you ever blackmailed anyone with these photos?¡± Ye Ningshen¡¯s expression was solemn. Wang Xiaohu nodded. ¡°I was going to ask Lin Furui for money. When that guy saw the other woman I took, he did panic. He quickly transferred the money and bought all the photos. However, I took out this photo and showed it to him while asking him to give me another sum of money. After he saw it, he sneered and said that he wouldn¡¯t give me money no matter what. He even asked me to take the photo to his wife. I don¡¯t even know what he was thinking. When he saw the previous photos, he was scared to death, but this photo didn¡¯t matter to him.¡± ¡°So, you took the photograph to his wife?¡± ¡°I did. He was so arrogant at that time. I was so angry that I sent the photo to his wife. At that time, I tried to see if she was willing to give me money. I didn¡¯t expect her to be willing to give me money and ask me to keep this secret no matter what. These two are really funny. However, I later heard that Madam Ye died in a car accident. What a pity. She was so beautiful.¡± Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a sigh. Ye Ningning¡¯s gaze darkened. Therefore, Mrs. Lin also knew about this photo. When she saw her husband holding her best friend¡¯s hand,how did she feel? Ye Ningyuan sneered and closed her eyes. Some things were gradually surfacing. She had some inkling of the truth. ¡°Do you have any more copies of this photo?¡± Ye Ningshen asked again. Wang Xiaohu shook his head. ¡°No, not long after, my house was ransacked. Many photos were destroyed, and my legs were broken. I still think this photo was taken too well. This lighting, this background, especially Madam Ye, tsk tsk tsk, they¡¯re all so beautiful that they can¡¯t be replicated. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she was dead, I would have taken it to the photography competition and won the award. At that time, I printed an extra photo and put it in my wallet. That¡¯s how I was able to keep it. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t even be able to keep this one.¡± ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t tell anyone else about this. What we said today will rot in your stomach. If I find out that you spouted nonsense outside and offended the Zhan family, consider the consequences carefully.¡± Ye Ningxie threatened coldly. Chapter 39 Wang Xiaohu looked at Ye Ningxuan in fear and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t tell anyone. I don¡¯t have the guts to offend the Zhan family.¡± Ye Ningxuan lowered her eyes and waved him away. Chen Tan went forward and put his arm around Wang Xiaohu¡¯s shoulder. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll walk you out.¡± Wang Xiaohu looked terrified and wanted to refuse, but Chen Tan¡¯s hand pressed down on his shoulder forcefully. ¡°Thank you, Special Assistant Chen.¡± Wang Xiaohu thanked him reluctantly and left with him. Ye Ningxuan sat on a chair. She didn¡¯t know why Chen Tan wanted to send Wang Xiaohu off. He probably wanted to warn him behind her back. She hadn¡¯t expected the truth to be this. The Fu Wenfang in her memory¡­ called her baby gently and looked at her with a gentle gaze. Even if they met again many years later, she would be filled with sympathy and heartache when she saw her. She pushed all the blame for the forced annulment to Lin Yuyang and didn¡¯t doubt her at all. Now that she thought about it, it was ridiculous. If Fu Wenfang really cared about her, how could she have ignored her all these years? She left her to fend for herself in the countryside. It was because of her own stupidity that she had never suspected her. ¡°Alone?¡± As soon as Feng Jiuzun entered, he saw Ye Ningxuan sitting in front of the French window. A fringed cream-colored dress with a crimson embroidered shawl draped over her shoulders. Her slightly curly hair was loose and glossy as black pearls. Her face was fair and beautiful, as if carefully created by God. She slouched in her chair, her head slightly to one side, as if looking out at the view. Little did she know that she had become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of many. Feng Jiuzun watched the door for a while and noticed that a man couldn¡¯t help but want to walk over. He took a big step forward and smiled at Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan came back to her senses and looked at him with her dark and bright eyes. Her eyes were mesmerizing. Feng Jiuzun felt like he was suffocating. ¡°Don¡¯t you remember me?¡± Feng Jiuzun sat down. Ye Ningxuan snorted. ¡°My brother is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Do you think I don¡¯t remember you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s that serious? I¡¯m sorry, I can visit the patient today. I¡¯ll pay for the medical fees.¡± Feng Jiuzun apologized, but his expression didn¡¯t show any signs of guilt. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to send the bill to the Feng family¡¯s residence. Mr. Feng, you have to keep your word,¡± Ye Ningxuan said slowly. Feng Jiuzun lowered his head and smiled. He also leaned in his chair and sized her up. ¡°With that small sum, I¡¯ll keep my word, but will Zhan Hanjue agree? Won¡¯t he be jealous that you¡¯re spending my money?¡¯ ¡°Of course not. My husband isn¡¯t a narrow-minded and stupid person who will go against money,¡± Ye Ningxuan said confidently. Feng Jiuzun sneered. ¡°You know him well.¡± ¡°Of course. He¡¯s my man. How could I not know what he¡¯s like?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve only been married for a few days, yet you already think you know him. Have you forgotten that he had an ex before you?¡± Feng Jiuzun snorted. Ye Ningxuan said, ¡°Several exes. I wonder which one you¡¯re talking about?¡± Feng Jiuzun was speechless. This woman was quite carefree. She actually wasn¡¯t angry when her husband¡¯s ex was mentioned. ¡°Who else is worthy of being Zhan Hanjue¡¯s ex? Naturally, it¡¯s my sister, Feng Qianru. She was Zhan Hanjue¡¯s legal wife and his childhood sweetheart.¡± Feng Jiuzun sneered arrogantly. ¡°So you¡¯re my ex-brother-in-law. Sorry for being rude.¡± Ye Ningxuan looked surprised and then smiled. Feng Jiuzun¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°You¡¯re not angry?¡± ¡°Why should I be angry? We can be considered relatives. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you a slight discount on the medical fees and send the bill over soon,¡± Ye Ningxuan said with a smile. ¡°Why should I be angry? We can be considered relatives. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you a slight discount on the medical fees and send the bill over soon,¡± Ye Ningxuan said with a smile. ¡°Call me Young Master Feng.¡± Ex-brother-in-law? What a weird address. ¡°Young Master Feng is also here.¡± Chen Tan walked over and greeted him. Then, he whispered to Ye Ningxuan, ¡°Madam, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Ye Ningxuan nodded and left with Chen Tan. Feng Jiuzun gritted his teeth in anger. This woman¡­ this woman was really¡­ different! ¡°Madam, why were you with Feng Jiuzun?¡± After leaving, Chen Tan asked curiously. Ye Ningxuan said coldly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that he sat there himself? I¡¯m not his mother. How can I control his legs?¡± Chen Tan was embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. ¡°Indeed, even his mother probably can¡¯t control his legs. However, Feng Jiuzun¡­ has never been on good terms with Mr. Zhan. You¡¯d better be careful.¡± ¡°How did Feng Qianru die?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked. Chen Tan froze. He lowered his eyes and said, ¡°She died of an illness, an acute illness.¡± Ye Ningxuan raised an eyebrow. What kind of acute illness could kill someone at once?¡¯ He was obviously fooling her and refusing to tell the truth. However, Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t expose him. After all, Zhan Hanjue didn¡¯t tell everyone that she was Bai Zhi. Why should she expose his lie? ¡°Let me escort you home, madam.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first. I¡¯ll go see Shao¡¯er.¡± Ye Ningxuan refused. Chen Tan nodded and could only send her to the hospital first. Ye Shao¡¯s condition had basically stabilized. Ye Ningxuan would get someone to send him food from home every day and cooked a specialized menu full of herbal ingredients. Ye Ningxuan talked to him through the glass window for a while before leaving the hospital and going home. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached home, Butler Wu came to look for her and said that the Ye family had sent someone over. Ye Ningxuan raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll go upstairs and change first. Tell him to wait.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Butler Wu nodded. Ye Ningxuan went upstairs to rest for a while and changed her clothes. The Ye family members waiting in the living room were already impatient, but they didn¡¯t dare to show it. The two of them could only sit in their chairs in a daze. Ye Ningxuan frowned. She thought that the Ye family would send a servant over. At most, a male family member would come. She didn¡¯t expect them to send Ye Xuan and Ye Ya. ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± Ye Ningxuan asked coldly. Ye Xuan and Ye Ya were stunned. They looked up at the same time and saw Ye Ningxuan. One looked embarrassed, and the other looked surprised. ¡°Ningxuan, you¡¯re finally back. We¡¯ve been here for a while. The Zhan family¡¯s butler said that you weren¡¯t at home.¡± Ye Xuan smiled and walked up to her. She wanted to reach out and take her arm, but Ye Ningxuan avoided her unobtrusively. ¡°I just got back. Why are you looking for me?¡± Ye Ningxuan sat in a chair. At this moment, the servant came over to deliver tea and snacks. Ye Xuan gritted her teeth. She and Ye Ya had been here for so long, but the Zhan family had never sent her any tea. Now that Ye Ningxuan had returned, she immediately sent tea and snacks. She was really a snob. However, this was also her first time coming to the Zhan family¡¯s home. As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the Zhan family¡¯s home¡¯s magnificence. As they walked, she was filled with regret. If she hadn¡¯t listened to the rumors back then, she would have been the one sitting here now. How could it be this wretched girl¡¯s turn? Chapter 40 Ye Xuan gave Ye Ya a look to let her speak. However, Ye Ya was timid and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. She hesitated for a while and didn¡¯t dare to speak. Ye Xuan glared at her angrily and had no choice but to say, ¡°Ningxuan, it¡¯s like this. Ye Ya quarreled with her family and has nowhere to go now. She went to look for me, but it¡¯s not convenient at my place. My mother-in-law has to hold a banquet these two days, so I don¡¯t have time to take care of her. I thought that since we¡¯re all sisters, I brought her to you. You can help take care of her.¡± ¡°No place to go?¡± Ye Ningxuan looked at Ye Ya, who quickly lowered her head in shame. Ye Ningxuan smiled. ¡°There are many hotels on the streets. If you really can¡¯t stay there, you can rent a place. How can there be no place to go?¡± ¡°Ningxuan, Ye Ya is an unmarried young lady after all. It¡¯s not safe for her to live outside alone. How can it be safer than living in her own sister¡¯s house? You¡¯re her cousin. You can¡¯t just sit by and do nothing.¡± Ye Xuan said matter-of-factly. Ye Ningxuan sneered. ¡°What you said is really interesting. If I don¡¯t help, I won¡¯t be a good cousin? But what¡¯s the benefit of being a good cousin? Will you give out pennants or hold a commendation ceremony?¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, are you unwilling to help?¡± Ye Xuan asked impatiently. Ye Ningxuan said coldly, ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t want to help. We¡¯re not familiar with each other. Why should I help?¡± ¡°What do you mean we¡¯re not familiar with each other? We¡¯re all from the Ye family,¡± Ye Xuan reprimanded righteously. Ye Ningxuan snorted. ¡°When the Ye family chased me out back then, you didn¡¯t remember that I was a member of the Ye family. You didn¡¯t even put in a good word for me. Now, you¡¯re pretending to be close to me. Aren¡¯t you too shameless?¡± ¡°You¡­ Is that how you talk? How dare you say that we¡¯re shameless?¡± Ye Xuan was so angry that her face turned red. Ye Ya also blushed in shame and quickly whispered to Ye Xuan, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Why are you leaving? I can leave, but can you? You have to stay today, even if she doesn¡¯t let you. Let¡¯s see if she can throw you out.¡± Ye Xuan snorted. With that, she left Ye Ya alone. Ye Ya was speechless. She couldn¡¯t help but lower her head and cry like a poor, abandoned child. Ye Ningxuan didn¡¯t expect Ye Xuan to be so heartless as to leave her behind. Looking at the crying Ye Ya, she scolded irritably, ¡°Stop crying.¡± Ye Ya was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying and looked at her timidly. Ye Ningxuan couldn¡¯t stand her gaze and quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you some money. Go outside and rent a place. Go wherever you want. Anyway, you can¡¯t stay here.¡± ¡°No, Mom and Dad will be angry if they find out. Grandpa will be angry if he finds out,¡± Ye Ya cried. Ye Ningxuan sneered. ¡°So? Are you planning to cling to me and insist on staying in the Zhan family?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Zhan Hanjue happened to come in. When he heard Ye Ya crying, he frowned and asked. When Ye Ya saw Zhan Hanjue, her face was filled with fear, like a frightened deer. Ye Ningxuan said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. The Ye family sent her over. They said that she had nowhere to go. Actually¡­¡± Actually, they were giving Zhan Hanjue a woman to replace her. ¡°Get her a room, Butler Wu.¡± Zhan Hanjue called him in. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s eyes widened. Did he know what the Ye family meant? He arranged a room for Ye Ya just like that. Ye Ya looked surprised and happy. She quickly looked at Ye Ningxuan. Ye Ningxuan took a deep breath and let Ye Ya follow Butler Wu. After she left, Ye Ningxuan said to Zhan Hanjue, ¡°Do you know why the Ye family sent her here?¡± ¡°I do. They would like her to replace you,¡± Zhan Hanjue replied. Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth. ¡°Since you know, why did you keep her?¡± ¡°Ye Ningxuan, if you¡¯re still unwilling, not to mention the Ye family wants to replace you, even I would want to too.¡± Zhan Hanjue reached out and pinched her chin as a warning. Ye Ningxuan was speechless. So he was keeping Ye Ya on purpose to warn her and make her feel threatened? It turned out that she was the clown. ¡°I brewed the chrysanthemum tea myself. I even put cilantro and ambrosia in it. It¡¯s nourishing for the eyes, so it suits you.¡± Zhan Hanjue was sitting in his study reading a book when Ye Ningxuan knocked on the door and entered. She brought a cup of nourishing tea to him. ¡°You must have ulterior motives. Tell me, what is it?¡± Zhan Hanjue put down the book. Ye Ningxuan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re wrong. We¡¯re husband and wife after all. Your eyes have just recovered, so I have the responsibility to help you recuperate. Husband and wife are one, so we should help each other.¡± ¡°We aren¡¯t one yet,¡± Zhan Hanjue reminded her. Ye Ningxuan¡¯s face stiffened. Why did he keep mentioning this? ¡°I want to bring down the Lin family and make Fu Wenfang suffer. If you help me, I¡¯ll be willing¡­ willing to be with you,¡± Ye Ningxuan said firmly. ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s her?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan lowered his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m not a hundred percent sure, but¡­ it¡¯s very likely.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I found that man to deliberately mislead you?¡± Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningxuan smiled bitterly. ¡°What¡¯s the reason? What good will it do you if you lie to me? What good will it do you if you frame the Lin family? You don¡¯t have a reason to.¡± Zhan Hanjue looked at her deeply for a long time before saying, ¡°At least you¡¯re not too stupid. However, since we haven¡¯t confirmed it, we should confirm it first. There¡¯s a banquet at the Lin family tomorrow night. I¡¯ll bring you to attend.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Ye Ningxuan thanked him gratefully. After a moment, she looked at him hesitantly again, then stopped herself. Zhan Hanjue frowned. ¡°What are you getting at?¡± Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly. ¡°Why don¡¯t I give you a reward first?¡± Zhan Hanjue was speechless. He looked at her quizzically. Reward? What reward? Before he could react, Ye Ningxuan suddenly bent over and kissed him on the cheek. After the kiss, she blushed and ran away. Zhan Hanjue was speechless. Frowning, he reached out blankly and touched his face. Mrs. Lin¡¯s banquet was actually Mrs. Lin¡¯s birthday banquet. But she wasn¡¯t even fifty yet. It wasn¡¯t much of a birthday, so she didn¡¯t have a big party. They only held a small banquet and invited some relatives and friends. As her daughter-in-law, Ye Xuan was extremely busy. Mrs. Lin had originally sent Ye Ningxuan a post, but Ye Xuan stopped her. She didn¡¯t want Ye Ningxuan to come over. When Lin Yuyang saw Ye Ningxuan, he couldn¡¯t take his eyes off her. Wouldn¡¯t that be humiliating her? ¡°Mom, my sister doesn¡¯t have time to come over. She asked me to apologize.¡± Most of the guests had arrived. Ye Xuan was afraid that Mrs. Lin would ask, so she ran to her to explain. Mrs. Lin sighed. ¡°It¡¯s fine if she doesn¡¯t have time. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen her in a long time. I wonder how she¡¯s doing now.¡± ¡°Auntie, since you¡¯re so worried about me, I must come over and tell you personally so that I can feel at ease.¡± Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue walked in as she said with a smile.
