Becoming The Darling Of An Imperial Bigshot After Breaking Off Her Marriage - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Never Promised Him

Ye Ningxuan was groggy when she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She frowned for a moment and closed her eyes. He was taking a shower in the middle of the night?

But she was too sleepy, and the room was lit with calming incense to help her sleep, so she soon drifted back to sleep.

“Get up.”

The next day, Ye Ningxuan was kicked by Zhan Hanjue in her sleep.

Ye Ningxuan rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily, “What’s wrong?”

He had actually used his foot to kick her awake. How unethical.

“Did you light incense in the room?” Zhan Hanjue demanded coldly.

“Yeah, it helps with sleep. Don’t worry, it just helps with sleep. There’s no other ingredients or harm done to the body.”

“Who gave you permission to order this?” Zhan Hanjue bristled.

Ye Ningxuan stood up and crossed his arms, looking down at him. “Mr. Zhan Hanjue, I lit incense that helps with sleep for your own good. Do you know how long it took me to concoct this incense? If it weren’t for the fact that Grandma is so good to me, do you think I would be willing to help you?”

“I don’t need you to help me, and don’t light this next time,” Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

“Alright, got it. Then don’t come back to sleep tomorrow. You’ll disturb my rest.” Ye Ningxuan snorted.

“Ye Ningxuan, how dare you.”

Furious, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her and pinned her to the bed.

Ye Ningxuan looked at his cold face and didn’t cower this time. She said very firmly, “You don’t sleep well and are always tossing and turning in bed. It affects my rest. Moreover, if you don’t sleep well over a long period, you will age early and even die early. It doesn’t matter if you’re not afraid of death, but Grandma is already so old. Can you bear to make her sad? Grandma also heard that I know some medical skills, so she asked me to think of a way to help you sleep. I knew that you refused to take medicine and could only light incense to help you. Not only do you not feel grateful, but you also want to be rough with me. Are you even a man?”

“You want to know if I’m a man or not?” Zhan Hanjue pressed on her more tightly.

In the early morning, it was inevitable for men to feel horny.

Ye Ningxuan’s eyes widened. This guy actually… so early in the morning…

Still …

“What’s that smell? Could it be—”

Ye Ningxuan smelled something unusual in the room and couldn’t help but sniff it. She quickly identified what it was.

Zhan Hanjue was shocked and immediately stood up, his face flushed.

“Shut up. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Seeing the blush on his face spreading from his ears to his cheeks, Ye Ningxuan couldn’t help but laugh. “I guessed correctly? You didn’t… jerk off last night, did you? So, you suspect that there’s an aphrodisiac in my incense?”

“There isn’t?”

“Of course not,” Ye Ningxuan confirmed. “Wouldn’t I be harming myself by adding that kind of thing?”

Zhan Hanjue frowned. That was certainly true.

But why did that happen last night?

“Don’t tell me you had some strange dream last night! That’s why… . Actually, that’s all right. You’re a grown man. It’s normal for that to happen. Let me tell you some physiological knowledge about men…”

“Shut up.”

Ye Ningxuan gave Zhan Hanjue a physiology lesson in all seriousness, but she was scolded by Zhan Hanjue before she could finish.

“Fine, don’t listen.” Ye Ningxuan curled her lips.

Zhan Hanjue rose to change.

Ye Ningxuan couldn’t help but steal a few glances. His figure was really good. He was clearly blind and she had never seen him exercise. How could his figure be so good?

Alas, it would be a pity for him not to become a specimen!

“Young Madam, someone is looking for you outside.”

After breakfast, Ye Ningxuan was walking in the garden when Butler Wu suddenly walked over to report.

Ye Ningxuan frowned. Who was looking for her?

Was it the Ye family or the Lin family?

“Send her in!” Ye Ningxuan said.

Anyway, she had nothing to do. It would be good to have someone to amuse her.

“Ningxuan.”

Suddenly, there was a familiar cry. Then someone ran over and hugged her tightly.

Ye Ningxuan was speechless.

“Ningxuan, I’ve finally found you.” The girl hugged her for a moment and released her. Her round, lovely face was flushed with excitement.

“Wu Taotao?”

Ye Ningxuan was surprised. Why was she here?

Wu Taotao sized her up and couldn’t help but praise, “Ningxuan, you’re so beautiful now. Look at what you’re wearing. It looks so expensive.”

It was indeed expensive. The Zhan family had prepared them all for her.

Although she didn’t know the price, with the Zhan family’s most expensive and high-maintenance lifestyle, her clothes should be worth a lot.

“You make it sound like I wasn’t pretty before.” Ye Ningxuan smiled and scratched her nose.

Wu Taotao stuck out her tongue playfully and hugged her again. “Of course you’re the prettiest. You always were.”

“Tell me first, why are you here?” Ye Ningxuan pushed her away.

Wu Taotao was her friend in the countryside. The two of them had grown up together. This little girl was only half a year younger than her, but she was mischievous and cute. She was also the daughter of the village chief and could be considered very popular.

“When you left, you said that you would go back in a few days. We waited for you for so long, but you didn’t go back. Of course we were worried about you, so I came to look for you,” Wu Taotao said.

“Nonsense, the village chief won’t let you run out so easily.” Ye Ningxuan exposed her.

Wu Tiaotao stuck out her tongue again and smiled awkwardly. “You know me best. Actually, I have a mission this time. I moved here for college. I got into a university here, so I came to report and see you.”

“What? Did you get into a university here? How is that possible?” Ye Ningxuan frowned.

This girl refused to go to school even before she finished high school. How did she get into university?

“I’m majoring in art. Aren’t I good at painting? My brother took my painting to some competition and said that some professor took a fancy to it. He said that I was very talented in art, so he recommended me to study here,” Wu Taotao said proudly.

“Your brother is here too?” Ye Ningxuan asked.

Wu Taotao nodded.

“Where is he? Why didn’t he come with you?” Ye Ningxuan glanced back. Wu Wei wasn’t there.

“You promised us that you wouldn’t marry that guy, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing you go back, my brother took the opportunity to come with me to look for you. In the end, after asking around, he found out that you really didn’t marry that Lin guy, but you married into the Zhan family. My brother was heartbroken when he heard that and didn’t want to see you, so he asked me to look for you alone. It’s not like you don’t know that my brother has always treated you as his future wife,” Wu Taotao said.

Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed.

She knew what Wu Wei liked her, but she’d never promised him anything.

Why did it sound like she had cuckolded him?

“Ningxuan, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t get married? Why did you marry Zhan Hanjue?” Wu Tiaotao asked curiously.
