Becoming The Darling Of An Imperial Bigshot After Breaking Off Her Marriage - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Unromantic Relationship

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.

“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.

Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips and asked with a smile, “Don’t tell me you still don’t understand the matters between a man and a woman. You don’t know what will happen if a man and a woman have sex?! But that’s not right. You were married before. Your first wife only passed away two months after your marriage. Have the two of you never…”

“Shut up,” Zhan Hanjue chided, blushing.

Ye Ningxuan covered his mouth.

She didn’t want to say it either.

“But she…” His reaction was still so obvious that it was hard for her not to know.
