Becoming The Darling Of An Imperial Bigshot After Breaking Off Her Marriage - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Lips Bitten

“Hey, I haven’t even decided to leave. Who are you to decide for me?”

Ye Ningxuan was pushed into the car by Zhan Hanjue and questioned angrily.

Grim-faced, Zhan Hanjue closed the door and ordered the driver, “Drive.”

The car started moving. Zhan Hanjue pressed something. He separated the front and back so that the back was an independent space.

Ye Ningxuan panicked and subconsciously retreated until she had nowhere to retreat.

“What do you want, Zhan Hanjue?”

“Ye Ningxuan, do you still not recognize your identity?” Zhan Hanjue looked at her deeply.

“Identity? Zhan Hanjue, you lied to me. I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. Why? Do you still want to settle the score with me? I hid my identity as Bai Zhi from you, but you also lied to me about your eyes. And no matter what, I helped you treat your eyes. Is this how you treat your benefactor?” Ye Ningxuan was very hostile.

“Why did you deliberately approach Lin Yuyang? What do you want from him? And why did you deliberately approach Leng Ziqing? What do you want from him?” Zhan Hanjue reached out and pinched her cheek, his gaze dark as he stared at her.

“It’s none of your business.” Ye Ningxuan shook off his hand unhappily.

But in the next instant, she was in his arms.

Zhan Hanjue forcefully grabbed her slender waist and pulled her towards his chest. Her hard chest hurt.

“Zhan Hanjue, you…”

Ye Ningxuan cursed angrily, but before she could say anything, Zhan Hanjue covered her mouth.

Ye Ningxuan stared at him in disbelief.

This time, she saw his pupils clearly. They were deep, clear, and brighter than many people’s eyes. It was like a light shining into people’s hearts, dispelling all the gloom.

But soon, the pain on her lips pulled her back to reality.

Furious, she shoved him in the chest hard. She raised her hand and slapped his face.

But Zhan Hanjue grabbed his wrist and asked in a low voice, “Are you going to hit me?”

“Bastard, hooligan, if I didn’t hit you, should I have let you stay for the new year?” Ye Ningxuan trembled in anger.

It was bad enough that the bastard had forced a kiss on her, but he’d bitten her.

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her lips. It was indeed bleeding.

“This is your punishment,” Zhan Hanjue said, his gaze dark.

Ye Ningxuan’s eyes widened.

There was no justice.

It was one thing for him to lie to her, but after she healed his eyes, instead of saying thank you on his knees, he wanted to punish her?

“Bastard.”

It was intolerable. Ye Ningxuan raised her other hand angrily and was about to hit him.

However, this hand was also grabbed by Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue pushed her down into her seat. Seeing her furious expression, he said in a low voice, “If you want to investigate your parents’ deaths, I can help you. I don’t need you to deliberately approach anyone else. If you agree, you’ll know the outcome soon. If you don’t…”

“So what if I don’t agree?” Ye Ningxuan asked.

“Leave me and never appear before me again,” Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Ye Ningxuan was stunned, and her face lit up. “Really? That’s great. I don’t agree. Let me go quickly.”

In any case, she had already obtained a lot of information. It was too dangerous to stay by his side. She was undoubtedly asking a tiger for its skin.

“You want to leave me so badly?” Zhan Hanjue’s expression was cold with anger.

Ye Ningxuan said, “You asked me to choose, so I chose the second option. Why? Are you going back on your word?”

“All right, I’ll do it, but don’t regret it.” Zhan Hanjue released her with a scowl, his tone harsh.

Ye Ningxuan rubbed his wrist. “Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.”

The car pulled into the Zhan family’s house.

Ye Ningxuan opened the car door and got out first. As soon as she entered, she packed her things.

When Mrs. Chen learned that she was packing up to leave, she hurriedly called Old Madam Zhan over.

Ye Ningxuan couldn’t bear to part with the old lady. After all, she was really good to her.

“Ningxuan, did Hanjue bully you? Tell me, I’ll help you teach him a lesson,” Old Madam Zhan asked anxiously.

Ye Ningxuan felt a lump in her throat and reached out to hug her. “Grandma, thank you for taking care of me these few days. In the future, I can’t stay in the Zhan family. You have to take care of yourself. Remember to eat the medicinal cuisine I handed to Mrs. Chen. I guarantee you will live a long life.”

“Ningxuan, you can’t leave. Hanjue, why did you bully Ningxuan? Hurry up and apologize to Ningxuan,” Old Madam Zhan said anxiously.

Zhan Hanjue walked in with an indifferent expression. “Grandma, let her go. She doesn’t want to stay in the Zhan family in the first place. Why force her to stay?”

Tears streamed down Old Madam Zhan’s face.

Ye Ningxuan said goodbye to Old Madam Zhan with a forced smile and left with her luggage.

She left decisively, without a backward glance.

“Hanjue, what exactly do you want? You don’t want such a good wife? Can’t you forget that…”

“It has nothing to do with anyone else, Grandmother,” Zhan Hanjue interrupted.

Old Madam Zhan wept. “Then why did you let her go? What will you do if she goes? What will happen to my little great-grandson?”

“Don’t worry, she’ll come back sooner or later.” Zhan Hanjue looked in the direction where Ye Ningxuan had left.

Old Madam Zhan froze and looked at him in surprise.

Mrs. Chen quickly advised her, “Old Madam, don’t worry. Let the young couple settle their own matters.”

Old Madam Zhan sighed and reprimanded Zhan Hanjue. “I don’t care what you’re planning. In short, you have to get Ningxuan back. Otherwise, I won’t spare you.”

With that, she let Mrs. Chen support her and went back to her room sadly.

Ye Ningxuan left the Zhan family and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although things had developed beyond her expectations, overall things had gone well.

She would find out for herself what had happened to her parents. She didn’t need his help.

With clues about Lin Yuyang and the Leng family, how could she not find out?

“Ningxuan, why are you here?” Taotao asked in surprise when she opened the door and saw Ye Ningxuan standing at the door with her suitcase.

Ye Ningxuan said, “I moved out of the Zhan family, Taotao. Can I live with you from now on?”

“Really? You moved out of the Zhan family’s home?” Wu Wei ran out, his expression excited.

Ye Ningxuan nodded, but immediately said, “I’m here to look for Taotao. It has nothing to do with you.”

“But this is a two-bedroom apartment. I live with Taotao,” Wu Wei said.

Ye Ningxuan handed him a card. “There’s money in the card. Go out and stay in a hotel tonight. Keep an eye out for the next two days and find a three-bedroom apartment to rent.”

Wu Wei was speechless.

“I don’t want your money. I have money.”

“If you don’t want it, move out by yourself. I’ll stay here with Taotao. We’ll split the rent.”

Wu Wei sighed. Knowing that she was stubborn, he had no choice but to accept the card.

“Ningxuan, why did you move out? Did you fall out with Zhan Hanjue?” Wu Taotao asked in surprise as she carried the luggage in for Ye Ningxuan.

Ye Ningxuan nodded. “We fell out, but it’s good that we fell out. After I find out some things, I can go back to the countryside with you.”
