Chapter 102: Leaving Home After a Cold War

Ningwan found that Zhan Hanjue was ignoring her. This conclusion was confirmed after getting in the car. "How did you find this place so fast? You’re amazing, my husband is awesome." Ningwan deliberately gave a thumbs up and praised him. But Zhan Hanjue looked straight ahead with no expression. Moreover, when she leaned her face over, he turned his face towards the window, not even willing to look at her. Ningwan was confused; what was going on? Why was he ignoring her? Following the principle of asking when unsure, Ningwan immediately asked with a serious expression, "Why are you ignoring me? What did I do wrong?" However, Zhan Hanjue still ignored her. "Fine, very fine, Zhan Hanjue, you’re ignoring me, huh! If you’re going to ignore me, then ignore me. Wu, stop the car, I want to get off." Ningwan got annoyed too. Just now, she had refused so much wealth for him, even heartlessly rejecting precious medicinal materials. Wasn’t he moved to tears or deeply grateful, and yet he was ignoring her? Wu awkwardly looked at his boss’s expression through the rearview mirror. The boss had no expression, no change in countenance. However, without the boss speaking, how could he dare to stop? He could only awkwardly explain, "Madam, we can’t stop here, or else we’ll get fined and lose points." "How much is the fine, I’ll pay it. Now... right away... immediately, stop the car for me." Ningwan said domineeringly. Wu’s head was so troubled it almost went bald; he glanced again at his boss through the rearview mirror. Ningwan saw that Wu refused to stop the car, so she simply went to open the car door herself, clearly ready to jump if they didn’t stop. Of course, she couldn’t open the car door, as Wu was quick to lock it. Ningwan was furious, but there was nothing she could do. The driver wasn’t her driver, wasn’t earning her salary, so naturally, he wouldn’t listen to her. She also figured it out, if they wouldn’t stop then they wouldn’t stop, if he wouldn’t talk to her then he wouldn’t talk to her, let’s see who could hold out longer. Ningwan no longer insisted on stopping, which made Wu breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, they returned home safely, and as soon as they parked, Ningwan pushed open the door and got out. She packed up some things and left, asking Housekeeper Wu to arrange a car for her; she wanted to go stay at Wu Taotao’s place. Housekeeper Wu hesitated, "Young Madam, it’s almost dark, why don’t you go tomorrow?" Ningwan snorted coldly, "What, I can’t even command people in the house anymore? If you don’t arrange it, I’ll just walk out myself, are you going to break my legs?" "No way, no way, I’ll arrange a car for you at once." Housekeeper Wu agreed quickly. But, as soon as he turned around, he went to report to the young master. The young madam was planning to run away from home; he must inform the young master. Who knew, Zhan Hanjue listened but remained silent. Housekeeper Wu was anxious; he couldn’t afford to offend either of these two gods. "Young master, what should we do about this? If I don’t arrange a car, the young madam will leave on her own." Housekeeper Wu asked stiffly again. "Then arrange a car for her," Zhan Hanjue finally spoke. Housekeeper Wu said awkwardly, "Aren’t you going to persuade her?" Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, "She doesn’t think she’s wrong and wants to leave home, why should I indulge her?" Housekeeper Wu understood, they were still sulking. Never mind, he’d better arrange for the car quickly, lest the young madam be kept waiting and get angry again. He quickly arranged a car and a driver to take Ningwan to Wu Taotao’s place. Luckily, she only had this one place to go to, running here every time they fought. Wu Wei saw Ningwan returning with luggage and pouted, "I told you, you couldn’t stay with him, but you just wouldn’t listen. I told you to come back with me, but you were stubborn. Now you’re back with your tail between your legs! Were you kicked out? It’s good you came back; such a high-class household isn’t a place for people like us." "Move aside." Ningwan snapped irritably. Wu Wei shook his head and stepped aside. "Where’s Taotao?" Ningwan asked. Wu Wei said, "Not back yet, that girl has been coming home late recently, is she dating someone? You’re both girls, maybe you could ask her when you get a chance." Ningwan suddenly thought of Leng Ziqing. Could she really be dating that guy!? Thinking of Mrs. Leng, her heart was full of reluctance. "Antidote to your anger." Wu Wei handed her a bottle of green tea. Ningwan shook her head, "I’ll just have plain water." "What a bad habit." Wu Wei had to fetch plain water for her. He brought over the plain water, and Ningwan took a few sips. Wu Wei asked curiously, "What did you two argue about this time? Did he bully you?" Ningwan thought about it; he didn’t really bully her, he just got angry for no reason. "Are all men prone to anger?" Ningwan asked curiously. Wu Wei immediately scoffed, "How could that be, men are broad-minded, who would be angry at the drop of a hat?" "What, did that man get angry with you?" Wu Wei asked again, curious. Ningwan glared at him, ignoring him. Wu Wei pouted, "I told you to come back with me, but you refused to listen." "Wu Wei, do you really like me?" Ningwan asked. Wu Wei immediately said, "Of course, I’ve liked you since we were kids." Ningwan shook her head, "You don’t really like me, you just feel like you should take care of me. When I was little, my grandma saved your life, and she told you to protect me, so you made it your mission to protect me. Even though, later on, I didn’t need your protection, you still felt you should. Liking someone shouldn’t be like that; it should be a mutual thing, not based on a sense of duty from a mission." "You always talk about big philosophies. There are so many couples in our village, they don’t have so many big philosophies, and they live their whole lives together just the same. What so much nonsense, I only know that I could live my whole life with you, and never would I bully you or get mad at you." Wu Wei said. Ningwan suddenly leaned in toward him. Wu Wei was startled. They were sitting close on the sofa, initially already quite near each other. And now she suddenly moved closer, they were almost touching, nearly kissing, scaring Wu Wei into retreating a little. Ningwan smirked and said with a smile, "If you really liked me, when I suddenly leaned over, you wouldn’t move back, you’d think about moving in for a kiss. At that moment, did you think about kissing me?" "Shameless, how could I be so indecent." Wu Wei cursed. Ningwan pouted, "Feelings between men and women aren’t just about duty, there’s also passion involved. Are you telling me you don’t understand that?" Wu Wei blushed. Ningwan raised an eyebrow, "Do you think, given how familiar we are, you could really make a move on me?" Wu Wei thought about the scenario and immediately shivered, grabbing the clothes on the sofa and fleeing. Wu Taotao finally returned. She was taken aback seeing Ningwan as she entered. "Ningning, why are you here?" "Cold war with Zhan Hanjue, came here to hide." Ningwan replied. "Where’s my brother?" "He probably got scared off!"
