Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement Chapter 179: One Step Faster to Hold Her

Qiao Yichi was clearly flirting with Ningwan.

Ningwan snorted a laugh, feeling upset since she hadn’t seen Zhan Hanjue.

He was really asking for trouble now.

"Oh? How about Mr. Qiao letting get your pulse and see what the symptoms are?"

Qiao Yichi thought she was responding to his advances, feeling delighted, he quickly extended his wrist for her to check.

Ningwan’s slender jade hand gently rested on Qiao Yichi’s wrist.

Qiao Yichi was entranced by her onion-like fingers, feeling itchy in his heart.

However, just as he was about to enjoy the soft touch of her slender fingers, he suddenly felt a numbness in his wrist.

A sharp pain surged, making him cry out.

"Ah."

People around heard his cry and turned to look in their direction.

Ningwan’s hand had already moved away.

"Nothing serious, Mr. Qiao. Go ho and eat green vegetable porridge for three days, stay calm for a few days, and your sleep will naturally improve."

"What did you do to ?" Qiao Yichi asked angrily.

Ningwan sneered, "What could I do to you? If I really wanted to do sothing, it wouldn’t just be a little pain."

Qiao Yichi’s face turned pale, realizing it was indeed her trick on his wrist earlier.

Imdiately, the desire to desecrate her diminished by half.

"Isn’t that Jiangcheng’s Zhan Hanjue? Why is he here?"

At that mont, Ningwan heard soone discussing, and many people turned to look at the entrance.

Ningwan felt a surge of joy and quickly stood up, leaving Qiao Yichi behind as she walked over.

Qiao Yichi frowned as he watched her leave hastily.

He wondered, does Ningwan also know Zhan Hanjue?

So he quickly stood up again and followed.

Sure enough, Zhan Hanjue had arrived.

With Chen Tan and Jin Yingzi by his side.

Ningwan felt joy upon seeing Zhan Hanjue, but when she saw Jin Yingzi, her brows furrowed slightly.

Wherever he goes, he brings her along.

Not sure if he wants to bring her, or if Old Mrs. Zhan insists on him taking her.

Zhan Hanjue also saw her, his deep gaze sweeping over her, before letting Chen Tan present the gift he had brought.

"Mr. Zhan, your presence truly blesses us."

Old Sir Xie greeted Zhan Hanjue courteously, smiling warmly.

Zhan Hanjue also politely responded, "Old Sir Xie, thank you for inviting . I’m sorry for being late."

"Not late at all, the banquet has just started," Old Sir Xie laughed.

Xie Mingyu walked over, looking arrogantly at Zhan Hanjue.

"Mr. Zhan, you arrived, let introduce you to my fiancée."

Ningwan was right next to him and upon hearing this, subconsciously stepped back.

However, Xie Mingyu was quicker than her. He reached to grab her wrist, trying to pull her to his side.

Unfortunately, his movent was still a step behind.

Zhan Hanjue was faster, pulling Ningwan to his side.

"Let introduce, my wife, Ningwan."

Xie Mingyu: "..."

He had originally intended to introduce Ningwan to Zhan Hanjue as his fiancée in front of everyone.

Making it a done deal before so many witnesses.

Unexpectedly, the man beat him to it.

"What? Is this Divine Doctor Bai Zhi really the wife of Zhan Hanjue?"

"Could she be the third miss of the Ye Family?"

"Isn’t the third miss of the Ye Family supposed to be unattractive? How could it be her?"

People aware of Zhan Hanjue’s affairs were taken aback, whispering among themselves.

Xie Mingyu’s face turned even sourer.

Old Sir Xie smiled and said, "Mr. Zhan, please co this way. Mingyu, Miss Wang just ntioned wanting to dance with you. Why don’t you have your first dance with Miss Wang?"

"Not interested."

Xie Mingyu coldly refused.

Standing next to him, Miss Wang revealed a hurt expression. Being refused this ruthlessly for the first ti made her wish she could find a hole to hide in.

Other noble won heard this and smirked, gloating at her misfortune.

Old Sir Xie had invited quite a few noblewon to the banquet today, with an obvious intention.

Initially, these noblewon had no particular expectations for the event.

But their families couldn’t refuse the Xie Family.

Forced by the Xie Family’s intimidation, they had to attend.

However, after arriving, seeing Xie Mingyu in person, their hearts began to flutter uncontrollably.

Now they were trying with all their might to catch Xie Mingyu’s attention, hoping to establish a connection with the Xie Family.

"Why are you only here now? What’s happened these days, why couldn’t I reach you?"

Once Xie Mingyu left, others also dispersed.

Ningwan finally found an opportunity to ask Zhan Hanjue.

The man’s eyes softened as he looked at her, "Just a small accident, sorry for coming late."

"It’s okay, as long as you’re here,"

Ningwan smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting the tender gaze back at him.

The two gazed deeply at each other, despite the bustling crowd at the banquet.

But to them, the world seed to narrow down to just the two of them.

"Mr. Zhan, it’s getting late, we have so business, we can’t delay,"

Jin Yingzi stepped forward to remind Zhan Hanjue in a low voice.

Zhan Hanjue nodded.

He released Ningwan, speaking softly, "I have so work, need to leave now, you... I’ll co find you once I’m done."

"What work is so urgent?" Ningwan frowned.

They hadn’t spoken much, and now he was about to leave?

"Ningning, wait for ." Zhan Hanjue squeezed her hand.

Ningwan felt a pang of sadness.

But as she touched his hand, sothing felt off.

Soon, Zhan Hanjue let go and left.

Once the man left, Qiao Yichi walked over.

"I really didn’t expect such skills from you, even being Zhan Hanjue’s wife. But why aren’t you staying by Zhan Hanjue’s side and running over to the Xie Family?" Qiao Yichi mocked.

Ningwan shot him a cold glance, "None of your business."

Qiao Yichi: "..."

Never in his life had he been insulted and ignored like this.

This woman, he won’t forget.

Sooner or later, she would regret it.

"Sis, where are you going?"

Ye Shao saw Ningwan about to leave and quickly called out to her.

Ningwan then rembered Ye Shao was still there.

She whispered to Ye Shao, "Shao, have fun here. Once it ends, go back with the Xie Family. I have so matters, need to leave first."

"Because of Zhan Hanjue?" Ye Shao asked.

Ningwan frowned a bit but nodded.

Ye Shao still wanted to say sothing, but Ningwan had already left.

"Miss Ye, at least take with you."

Wangyue chased after Ningwan.

Ningwan was surprised, "Why are you following?"

Wangyue replied, "The young master said I should stay by your side for protection. So wherever you go, I’ll follow."

Ningwan felt ward inside.

Regretting being so cold towards Xie Mingyu.

Actually, this kid wasn’t bad.

"Wangyue, can you help investigate sothing?" Ningwan asked.

With Wangyue around, it would be easier to find out what she wanted.

"Investigate what? Miss Ye, just tell , as long as it’s in Tong City, there’s nothing I can’t uncover," Wangyue beat his chest confidently.

"Zhan Hanjue, I need to know where he is living now."
