Zhan Hanjue kissed her, domineering and fierce. Ningwan was completely stunned, her eyes widened in a daze as she looked at him. But soon, she came back to her senses, her brow furrowing from the pain. Zhan Hanjue actually... bit her. "Focus," Zhan Hanjue reminded in a low, hoarse voice. After saying that, he kissed her again, gently entangling. Ningwan’s heart pounded intensely, the numbers on Zhan Hanjue’s wristband beeping because of the rapidity. When the beating reached a certain level, it triggered an alarm. Zhan Hanjue released her, raising his wristband before her: "Your heart’s beating faster, are you moved by me, or just nervous?" Ningwan: "..." So he suddenly kissed her just to prove that an accelerated heartbeat could be due to infatuation, nervousness, or other reasons? "Childish." Ningwan pushed him away angrily. Zhan Hanjue sat properly, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "But, since you’re not jealous, why do you care who I have dinner with?" Ningwan asked. Zhan Hanjue said, "Because you are Madam Zhan, as long as you are my wife, you cannot disgrace me." "Tch." Ningwan sneered. "Also, the reason I sought you out isn’t completely because you were dining with someone else. Get ready, you’re going to attend a banquet with me." Zhan Hanjue continued. "What kind of banquet?" Ningwan asked. Zhan Hanjue said, "You don’t need to know. Anyway, your role is to be a decorative vase by my side. Maintaining the most appropriate smile is your task." Ningwan gritted her teeth; you’re the vase, your whole family are vases. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She wouldn’t be mad at him, she couldn’t argue with him. Right now, she should properly think about how to investigate Ke Yingying’s child. That child must still be alive, otherwise, what would Fu Wenfang use to keep threatening her? As long as she finds that child, stripping Fu Wenfang of the leverage over Ke Yingying, Ke Yingying might be willing to cooperate with her. Even at the expense of her own reputation, to avenge the years of humiliation by Fu Wenfang. "Gentle, looks like a lady from a prestigious family." Zhan Hanjue took Ningwan to a styling room and instructed the stylist. The stylist immediately nodded, glanced at Ningwan, and praised with a smile: "This young lady is truly beautiful, even more so than movie stars. Even without special makeup, she already looks like a lady from a prestigious family." "Well said." Ningwan commended. She glanced at Zhan Hanjue in triumph, then sat in the chair and let the stylist do her makeup. Zhan Hanjue picked up a magazine and flipped through it for a while, then went out impatiently. He only returned after more than an hour. When he came back, Ningwan had already finished her makeup and was changing clothes. The staff saw him and immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Zhan, please wait a moment, Miss Ye will be out soon." As they spoke, the fitting room door opened, and Ningwan, under the guidance of the staff, came out. Zhan Hanjue was taken aback, his eyes darkened slightly. Ningwan was in a white dress, elegant and noble, making her naturally graceful presence seem even more refreshing, unique, and graceful. The loose cut of the dress was both lazy and charming, with a design that outlined her waist, showing off her perfect body proportions. Paired with nude high heels, her long, slender legs were fully visible. The staff exclaimed: "Truly beautiful, even more so than Liu Shiyan." "Don’t talk nonsense," the manager scolded: "How can Liu Shiyan compare with Miss Ye, who is the wife of the Zhan Group’s president." "Mr. Zhan, are you satisfied?" the manager asked Zhan Hanjue ingratiatingly. Zhan Hanjue came back to his senses, nodded with a cold expression. "Time’s up, let’s go for now." Ningwan shook her head, praising her beauty seems life-threatening! She had just looked in the mirror; the stylist really was impressive, she almost didn’t recognize the reflection as herself. "What kind of banquet is it exactly? Even if I’m just a vase, I should know where to be placed." Once in the car, Ningwan asked again. Zhan Hanjue said, "A charity banquet, attended by all of Jiangcheng’s important figures. Everyone will bring a female companion, don’t embarrass me." "Do you think my face would embarrass you?" Ningwan scoffed, lightly stroking her cheek. Zhan Hanjue glanced at her, a slight warmth in his chest. "And don’t flirt around," he warned in a cold voice. Ningwan said, "Don’t worry, if I’m not interested in someone like you, how could I be interested in anyone else?" Zhan Hanjue: "..." Is that a compliment or an insult? "Sharp-tongued." ****** "Mr. Zhan, it’s a pleasure to finally see you." The car stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel. Zhan Hanjue got out with Ningwan, and a bald middle-aged man approached as soon as they stepped out. He looked at Zhan Hanjue excitedly, wanting to shake his hand but seeming too shy, his face flushed with excitement. Zhan Hanjue slightly nodded: "Chairman Li." "And this is your wife? Truly a perfect pair, both talented and beautiful," Chairman Li looked at Ningwan, filled with envy. Ningwan responded with a smile. Chairman Li continued, "The Lin Family, Ye Family, and the Feng Family are all here, Mr. Zhan, please head inside!" Zhan Hanjue nodded and led Ningwan inside. Ningwan whispered, "The Lin Family, Ye Family, and Feng Family are here too?" "This Chairman Li is quite influential in Jiangcheng and has excellent relations with the government. Over the years, he’s been involved in philanthropic activities. Naturally, hosting a charity banquet, he would invite the four major families to gather the funds," Chen Tan explained from the side. Ningwan frowned, unsure if it was Lin Yuyang or Fu Wenfang from the Lin Family that came. At the thought of Fu Wenfang, she couldn’t help but shiver. She was really afraid she might lose control for a moment and harm that woman. "Stay by my side, don’t act out," Zhan Hanjue said coldly. Ningwan snapped back to reality, immediately replying: "Got it." They quickly walked into the hall. The hall doors opened, the elegant chandeliers casting a soft light, making the restaurant appear graceful and serene. The gentle saxophone music filled the room, spreading like invisible smoke, refreshing the spirit. Zhan Hanjue led her inside. Their handsome and beautiful pairing immediately attracted many eyes as the door opened. Lin Yuyang, seeing Ningwan approach, so beautiful and celestial-like, seemed half-stunned. Ye Xuan, standing next to him, pinched him in anger: "Your eyes are about to fall out." Lin Yuyang, pained, returned to his senses and glared at her. Ningwan’s gaze swept over the two, fortunately, it was Lin Yuyang and Ye Xuan present, not enough to make her lose control. "Mr. Zhan, long time no see." Feng Jiuzun approached with a glass of wine to greet Zhan Hanjue. And then fixed his gaze on Ningwan, looking her up and down. His eyes seemed like hooks, as if wanting to strip away Ningwan’s clothing.
