Ye Ningwan and Wu Taotao finished eating instant noodles and went for a walk. This hotel is considered the best in the area, with high-end facilities whether in the guest rooms or leisure and entertainment areas. The two first walked around outside and then went to the gym for a look. "Wow." Wu Taotao was surprised; there were quite a few people in the gym, and several personal trainers. Each of them wore tight white vests, showcasing their strong muscles, which were quite tempting to look at. "Let’s go. Aren’t you afraid Leng Ziqing will be angry if he finds out?" Ye Ningwan pulled Wu Taotao away. Wu Taotao pouted, "I think you’re the one afraid Zhan Hanjue will be upset if he knows." Ye Ningwan didn’t explain. The two used their room card to enter. However, as soon as they entered, they saw the lights inside were on, indicating someone was there. "Why are you here?" Seeing who was inside the room, Ye Ningwan was surprised. "You’re back?" Zhan Hanjue sat on the sofa, looking at her with a gloomy expression. "I didn’t ask them to come, I don’t even know how they followed," Leng Ziqing, who was sitting on another sofa, stood up to explain. Wu Taotao quickly said, "I believe you, Senior Brother Leng." Ye Ningwan, however, wore an expression of total disbelief. Leng Ziqing didn’t offer further explanation. He stood up, walked to Wu Taotao’s side, and took her arm, "Come to my room." Wu Taotao’s eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly nodded. Ye Ningwan wanted to say something but was shot a glare by Wu Taotao: Don’t ruin my chance. She immediately dashed off with Leng Ziqing. Ye Ningwan was both angry and helpless, truly proving that a grown woman can’t be kept at home; if you try, you’ll only foster enmity. "You came to find Li Qingqing intending to hand me over to her?" Zhan Hanjue questioned coldly. Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow, "Why would you think that? How could I give you to her?" "Then why are you here?" Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningwan walked over, sat next to him, and said with a smile, "To empathize." "Empathize?" Zhan Hanjue frowned. Ye Ningwan said, "I couldn’t understand why you suddenly ignored me. Taotao said it’s because you’re jealous since Feng Jiuzun wanted to seduce me, so you ignored me. But I didn’t accept him, and I refused many of his temptations. Why are you still angry? I couldn’t figure it out. Coincidentally, I saw rumors about you and Li Qingqing, so I thought I’d come to talk to her and see if facing her makes me angry and jealous. I wanted to empathize and understand your anger." "So, did you understand?" Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningwan sighed, "No, Li Qingqing is indeed very beautiful. But I know there’s nothing and can’t be anything between you and her. So, I really can’t understand your anger; you know there’s nothing possible between Feng Jiuzun and me, so why are you angry?" Zhan Hanjue was silent. His deep eyes gazed at her, with an imperceptible pain hidden within. He recalled when he was young, seeing his parents argue over such matters. His father had asked painfully, "Why aren’t you angry? You’re not angry because you don’t care about me, is that it?" His mother softly replied, "How could that be, how could I not care about you? You’re overthinking, I simply trust you." His father believed it. But not long after, that woman who claimed she trusted him, left mercilessly. She left in search of true love, abandoning her husband and child quietly. So now, her lack of anger, was it true calm, or did she simply not care? "What’s wrong? Did I say something incorrect?" Ye Ningwan asked. Zhan Hanjue wanted to ask her like his father did. But those words wouldn’t come out. Back then, in his mother’s heart, she must’ve been scoffing at him, knowing full well the result yet asking anyway. Naive and laughable. Therefore, he absolutely couldn’t be like his father, like a joke. "It’s nothing, this is for you." Zhan Hanjue tossed her the jewelry box. No matter what she thought, staying by his side, she’d never leave in this lifetime; that was her fate. Also, it was the difference between him and his father. "A gift from you?" Ye Ningwan opened the jewelry box. Upon seeing the necklace inside, her expression immediately stiffened. This necklace, she had just seen today, a limited edition worldwide, the only one in Asia. "Have you met Li Qingqing?" Ye Ningwan asked. No wonder he asked earlier if she intended to give him to Li Qingqing. It seems Li Qingqing truly is a smooth talker, saying one thing to one person and another to someone else. "Yes, I saw her before coming here," Zhan Hanjue admitted. Ye Ningwan chuckled, placing the jewelry box down. She wouldn’t wear something that someone else had worn. "Actually, there’s another reason I came to find Li Qingqing. I asked Wu to help me look into Li Weiluo’s affairs, you know?" Ye Ningwan said. Zhan Hanjue nodded. He knew everything about her, especially since he used his people to investigate. "I was clueless until the investigation. It was a shock. I only then realized Li Qingqing is actually Li Weiluo’s cousin. But, she’s a distant cousin, who stayed with Li Weiluo’s family when she was little." Ye Ningwan continued. Zhan Hanjue furrowed his brow, "So, is there a problem?" "No problem, just found it quite coincidental," Ye Ningwan said. Zhan Hanjue replied, "After Li Weiluo died, I compensated the Li Family with a sum of money. Li Qingqing came to me, handing over Li Weiluo’s belongings. There was a letter too, saying our paths had crossed but weren’t meant to be, hoping I wouldn’t make things difficult for her family. At that time, Li Qingqing cried a lot. I asked her if she had any requests, and she said she hoped I could help her enter the entertainment circle, so I lent a hand." "After that, did you keep contacting each other?" "No, we haven’t contacted each other; our next meeting was three years later. Our company needed a new spokesperson for a product, and by then, she had gained some fame. The company executives decided to use her after discussion, and we met again when she came to sign the contract." "In the past, it’s mostly been rumors about you, with few having seen you. She’s one of the few who has, right?" Ye Ningwan said. Zhan Hanjue nodded, "And she’s the only woman who didn’t throw herself at me after meeting me." That’s why, despite knowing her for so long, he still maintained contact with her. "So, she’s a close confidant," Ye Ningwan scoffed. "You’re jealous?" Zhan Hanjue asked. Ye Ningwan shrugged, "Why would I be? I’m not jealous. Having a close confidant is good. Before, you were so clingy to me; was it all her teaching you? If so, I should thank her." Ye Ningwan smiled brightly, her eyes filled with joy, truly showing no sign of jealousy or anger. Zhan Hanjue’s brows furrowed further, his displeasure intensifying. "It’s getting late; you should head back. I also need to call Taotao back. A single man and woman alone in a room isn’t good; I can’t let your cousin bully my best friend." Ye Ningwan stood up, intending to call Wu Taotao back. However, just as she got up, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her arm. With a strong pull, she fell onto the sofa.
