Chapter 60: Bearing Children for the Zhan Family

Zhan Hanjue was teased by Ye Ningwan, and he chased her out with an extremely unpleasant expression. Ye Ningwan nearly burst out laughing as she walked out the door. As she left, she happened to see Liu Shiyan arguing with Housekeeper Wu. "Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me, even your young master wouldn’t dare treat me this way." Housekeeper Wu patiently explained, "It’s our young master who won’t allow Miss Liu to go out. Please understand, Miss Liu. The young master is doing this for your own good, the outside is so dangerous, he’s afraid you’ll get hurt." "I’m not some paper figurine, what harm can I come to? Don’t make excuses and try to fool me, I want to see Zhan Hanjue." Liu Shiyan scolded angrily. "Housekeeper Wu, Miss Liu is an esteemed guest of our Zhan Family, how can you upset her?" Ye Ningwan came over and rebuked him. Housekeeper Wu hurriedly bowed his head in apology: "I’m sorry, Young Madam, it’s my fault." "Alright, leave now! I’ll handle this." Ye Ningwan said. Housekeeper Wu nodded and quickly left. Liu Shiyan said to Ye Ningwan, "Madam Zhan, I have urgent business at the company now, so I won’t chat with you, I’m leaving first." She thought that Ye Ningwan had sent Housekeeper Wu away to let her leave. But unexpectedly, Ye Ningwan stopped her: "Miss Liu, why rush? It’s already late, have a meal before going." Liu Shiyan had no appetite for a meal and refused: "No need, I’m not hungry, I’m a celebrity, have to maintain my figure, one meal a day is enough." "That’s not okay, you’re supposed to give birth to children for our Zhan Family. One meal a day, how can your body take it, how can you have children?" Ye Ningwan said. Liu Shiyan widened her eyes: "What? Have children?" Ye Ningwan chuckled: "Or else what do you think you’re here at the Zhan Family for? Just to mingle with Mr. Zhan?" Liu Shiyan’s face turned pale, and after a while she murmured: "No wonder they want to trap me here, Madam Zhan, you must help me." She only wanted to use Zhan Hanjue’s status to make her path in the entertainment industry smoother, not to give birth to wealthy children at a young age. Once she had children, her career as a star would be ruined. How much money could Zhan Hanjue give her to have a child? How much could she earn in entertainment? She could calculate these bills clearly. Besides... if Zhan Hanjue was good in bed, that looks coupled with ability, over time she might feel moved. But in reality... immature development wants to trap her? What a joke! The entertainment industry lacks nothing if not men with good looks and good skills. "Miss Liu, what’s this strange talk about? Help you with what? Wasn’t it Miss Liu who approached my husband voluntarily and took the chance to climb into bed and elevate? Isn’t it just to get tied with the Zhan Family? Now that Miss Liu has gotten what she wished for, isn’t Miss Liu happy?" Ye Ningwan asked with a smile. Liu Shiyan hurriedly explained: "Madam Zhan, it was my mistake, please don’t hold grudges against me. I didn’t know Mr. Zhan... it’s not my doing, it’s Mr. Zhan who drank a glass of wine and I noticed something was off, so I took this opportunity to approach him. I truly didn’t intend anything towards Mr. Zhan last night, it was all a misunderstanding. Madam Zhan appears to be tolerant and generous on the outside, but inwardly, you must be very angry! Of course, anyone would be furious if their husband was with another woman. I’m leaving immediately, and will never get close to Mr. Zhan again, Madam Zhan, please let me go." Ye Ningwan was surprised: "So that’s it, I thought Miss Liu was willing. Seems I misunderstood." "Yes, yes, you misunderstood." Liu Shiyan quickly said. Ye Ningwan sighed again, "But, Mr. Zhan said that Miss Liu should stay here. He even asked me to arrange a room for Miss Liu, I was planning to put Miss Liu in Mr. Zhan’s bedroom for the next few days, it’s been so long, and I haven’t had a child, Mr. Zhan is very unhappy. I’m counting on Miss Liu to excel a bit, so I can be at ease." Liu Shiyan reluctantly asked: "Madam Zhan, have you ever thought about the fact that you haven’t become pregnant for so long. Maybe... it’s not Madam Zhan’s fault, perhaps it’s Mr. Zhan’s responsibility?" With no sensation at all, definitely immature development, how could one possibly conceive? "How would I know, I haven’t had other men, can’t compare." Ye Ningwan said shyly. Liu Shiyan looked at her with immense sympathy. A perfectly fine beauty, ruined just like this. "Miss Liu, since you don’t want to stay here, I’ll help you leave. But, you must at least have some food first, then I can be at ease." Ye Ningwan said. Liu Shiyan only wanted to leave as soon as possible, as long as Ye Ningwan could help her, she would do anything. Ye Ningwan took her to dine in a small restaurant. She handed over a bowl of bird’s nest porridge prepared by the servant, smiling: "Miss Liu, this is blood bird’s nest, rich in nutrients, specially stewed for Miss Liu." Liu Shiyan awkwardly took it and thanked her. However, after eating, she felt very dizzy. Holding her forehead, she looked at Ye Ningwan in surprise and asked, "What did you... give me?" "Nothing, Miss Liu, have a good sleep, it won’t harm your body." Ye Ningwan said with a smile. Soon, Liu Shiyan passed out. Ye Ningwan called the servants in to help Liu Shiyan into a room to rest. Then she called Housekeeper Wu over and instructed him: "Pay attention to the front door these days, see who might be lurking around." "Yes, Young Madam." Housekeeper Wu nodded. Ye Ningwan actually only gave a little medicine to Miss Liu to make her fall asleep. She should sleep for about a day before waking up. In two days, it might be possible to force the person who drugged her to come out. Instead of trying to trap her and letting her make a scene here. It’s better to just make her pass out, saving the noise. But unexpectedly, in the afternoon, someone from the Feng Family came, immediately asking to see Ye Ningwan. Housekeeper Wu invited Ye Ningwan to the living room. Ye Ningwan saw the visitor was Feng Huai, and raised an eyebrow in surprise, smiling, she asked, "Mr. Feng, what brings you here? What do you want from me?" "Did you do something to my nephew’s arm?" Feng Huai questioned. Ye Ningwan then suddenly remembered Feng Jiuzun. So many things happened yesterday, she got so busy she forgot about Feng Jiuzun. His arm was numb, and although he was sent to the hospital, if she hadn’t helped, perhaps the hospital doctors wouldn’t have been able to do anything. This pain all night and half a day is really suffering. "What does Mr. Feng mean? I don’t understand." Ye Ningwan feigned ignorance. Feng Huai angrily said, "Ye Ningwan, you’re still playing dumb? I heard from the Ye Family that you’ve used similar methods on the Ye family’s servants before. You witch, hurry up and come with me to save Jiu’er, if anything happens to him, I won’t let you off." As he spoke, Feng Huai extended his hand to grab Ye Ningwan’s wrist. However, before he could, another hand stopped him. Forcefully flicking his arm away. "In my Zhan Family, bullying my wife. Mr. Feng, are you trying to disregard my Zhan Family?" Zhan Hanjue angrily rebuked.
