Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement Chapter 154: After All, We Were Once Husband and Wife

Ye Henghui assigned Ningwan to entertain Zhan Hanjue.

Ningwan raised an eyebrow, was he doing this on purpose?

Forget it, it just so happens to help him out.

"Mr. Zhan, this way please," Ningwan stepped forward to invite Zhan Hanjue.

Actually, she had no idea which lounge to take Zhan Hanjue to.

Luckily, a servant from the Ye Family ca over and whispered, "Miss, Mr. Zhan, this way please."

Ningwan smiled slightly, is this the Ye Family’s intention?

Zhan Hanjue nodded and followed the servant without looking around.

Wu and Jin Yingzi followed behind.

Jin Yingzi looked at Ningwan, wanting to speak but hesitated.

Eventually, she said nothing and silently followed behind Zhan Hanjue.

Ningwan followed as well, with Tingyu by her side. She had left Wangyue at the hotel outside as support.

Wangyue initially wanted to co along.

Ningwan glanced at her and said seriously, "Better to have Tingyu! Tingyu’s facial expression looks more like attending a funeral. When I go to a wedding feast soday, I’ll definitely bring you."

Wangyue felt a deep sense of grievance.

"Miss, thank you for taking the trouble to entertain the guest."

After guiding them to the lounge, the servant served tea and left.

Ningwan nodded, glanced at Wu and Jin Yingzi, and said, "Can you both leave? I want to talk to Mr. Zhan alone."

Wu readily nodded, Jin Yingzi furrowed her brows.

Ningwan snorted coldly, "Miss Jin, are you afraid I’ll eat up Zhan Hanjue?"

Jin Yingzi looked embarrassed and quickly lowered her head.

But still didn’t move, as if she was waiting for Zhan Hanjue to speak.

Ningwan had to look at Zhan Hanjue, "Let’s have a private talk."

"There’s nothing to talk about between us," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Ningwan bit her lip in anger and questioned, "After being spouses, are you going to be so heartless?"

Zhan Hanjue’s eyes moved slightly.

After a mont, he ordered Wu and Jin Yingzi, "You both, leave."

Jin Yingzi nodded, giving Ningwan a complex glance, and left with Wu.

Ningwan then said to Tingyu, "Tingyu, you leave too."

"But Miss Ye..."

"Although you’re not my person, since you ca with , you’re under my command for this period, follow my orders," Ningwan said coldly.

Tingyu nodded and turned to leave.

At this ti, the servant ca in again to deliver snacks.

After placing the snacks, the servant thoughtfully closed the door for them.

"What do you want to talk about?" Zhan Hanjue asked coldly.

"After separating from you last ti, my house was burned down," Ningwan said.

Zhan Hanjue: "..."

"You suspect ?"

"That night, Ye Shao and I encountered assassins. A half-ter long knife chopped down rcilessly. Later, people from the Xie Family saved Ye Shao and . I went to see those assassins. They said two families hired them, the Ye Family and the Zhan Family."

"Believe what you will, it wasn’t ," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Upon hearing the word "Xie Family," his face turned even darker.

It’s as though these words pierced his nerves.

Ningwan said, "On my way here, I encountered two assassination attempts. I know the one in Tong City was hired by Ye Pengcheng. He might have known he was dying, so he wanted to take with him before he died. But when it cos to the Zhan Family, I don’t believe it. However, there were two attacks along the way, both said to be hired by the Zhan Family."

"I said it, believe what you will, it wasn’t ," Zhan Hanjue repeated coldly.

"I believe you," Ningwan looked at him, "You said it wasn’t you, so I believe it wasn’t you. I didn’t suspect you initially, now hearing you say it personally, I trust you."

Zhan Hanjue frowned, "You believe ?"

"Of course," Ningwan said, "We’ve been married for quite so ti. If we lack even this bit of trust, you would have known for nothing."

Zhan Hanjue found sothing off with this statent.

Soon, he thought of sothing.

"Are you mocking for not trusting you?"

Ningwan replied, "I’m not mocking you, I’m just stating facts. Moreover, I can understand you, given everything happening, it’s no wonder you wouldn’t believe . But Zhan Hanjue, be fair. I forgot the mory of the car accident long ago, you knew the truth way before, yet hid it from deliberately. In the end, whose fault is this?"

"You think it’s my fault? Yes, I shouldn’t have let you into the Zhan Family initially. Knowing you were sent that day, I should have thrown you to feed the wolves," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Ningwan twitched her mouth, did he really have that thought at the ti?

"Then why didn’t you feed to the wolves?" Ningwan asked out of spite.

Zhan Hanjue kept a stern face, saying nothing.

Ningwan sighed softly, "Okay, let’s stop saying things out of spite. I took risks to see you today not to quarrel, further misunderstanding, but to clear things up, explain things thoroughly."

"What else is there to explain," Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly.

"Of course there is," Ningwan said. "I admit, initially wanting to marry you was indeed using you to investigate my parents’ death, to avenge them. But using you to collect dicine, I didn’t do that. Xie Mingyu’s illness wasn’t a day or two, nor can it be cured with a bit of dicine. My master and I nursed him for over a decade, using all sorts of precious dicines. Without your dicines, I can still save him. Old Sir Xie once saved my master’s life, fulfilling my master’s last wish, I had to save Xie Mingyu anyhow. On this point, I didn’t tell you, but I didn’t deceive you, I swear."

Zhan Hanjue slightly frowned.

Ningwan bit her lip, walked up to Zhan Hanjue and raised her hand to swear: "If you don’t believe , I can swear to you. If I have half a lie, may I be struck by lightning..."

Before Ningwan could finish, Zhan Hanjue covered her mouth.

Zhan Hanjue stared at her with a dark face, and once realizing what he did, instantly withdrew his hand.

He angrily closed his eyes.

Why did he reach out unconsciously?

Reaction was faster than thought?

"See, you still have feelings for , don’t you?" Ningwan asked with a smile.

Zhan Hanjue said coldly, "You’re overthinking."

"Am I really overthinking? If you have no feelings for , why did you stop just now?"

"You want to swear, do it after going out. Standing with you, if you’re struck by lightning, is it to take down with you?" Zhan Hanjue rebuked coldly.

Ningwan: "..."

Such a reason, she truly admired him.

"Was it Jin Yingzi who said I was using you to collect dicine? Zhan Hanjue, it’s not that I’m speaking ill of her, she has ill intentions," Ningwan continued.

Zhan Hanjue sneered, "Ningwan, are you trying to sow discord?"

"Not sowing discord, I’m stating facts," Ningwan said.

Zhan Hanjue replied, "You’ll be disappointed, I trust her heavily. Moreover, she’s more obedient than you."

"Zhan Hanjue, those foolish male leads in TV dramas are exactly like you... What’s that sll?"

Ningwan pointed at Zhan Hanjue in anger, scolding.

But just as she was scolding, she suddenly slled a peculiar odor.
