Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement Chapter 553: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Re

"What’s going on?"

Zhan Hanjue ward a glass of milk and brought it to her lips.

Ye Ningwan took a sip, leaving a bit of white milk around her mouth.

Zhan Hanjue indulgently extended his hand, using his fingertip to wipe away the milk from her mouth.

"Why are you still like a child?"

"On purpose. I thought you’d use your mouth to wipe it, but you used your hand instead," Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow.

Zhan Hanjue: "..."

His eyes deepened instantly, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips, licking away the remaining milk completely.

"Satisfied now?" the man asked in a husky voice.

Ye Ningwan smiled and nodded: "Mm, satisfied, very satisfied."

Saying this, she leaned forward again to peck him once more.

Luckily Tuantuan wasn’t here, or else he would have run off dragging Xiaxia with him, unable to bear watching.

The couple had been showing their affection nonstop recently, even the housemaids didn’t dare to stay within ten ters of them. Otherwise, they were bound to be force-fed an abundance of lovey-dovey gestures.

"You still haven’t told why Old Sir Xie was urgently looking for you?" Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan sighed: "Isn’t it all about Xie Mingyu? Xie Mingyu must have done so great good in a past life to have such fortune in this life, to have a grandfather who loves him so much."

"What happened to him now? He’s already running a listed company, does Old Sir Xie still need to worry?" Zhan Hanjue frowned.

He had taken over his company at eighteen, handling everything with competence.

Thus, he found it hard to understand Xie Mingyu’s situation.

Ye Ningwan explained how Wan Tianning sought her for dicine and then ran off with Lin Yue to the village.

"That girl is really bold, daring to drug Xie Mingyu. I suspect, Shangxue and Xie Mingyu might have already consummated their relationship. But for so reason, Xie Mingyu went ho alone and Shangxue did not return. Anyway, matters of the heart can’t be predicted, so things need to be figured out by themselves. It’s got nothing to do with us, so let’s not worry unnecessarily."

"Wan Tianning also called yesterday," Zhan Hanjue thought for a mont before telling her.

Ye Ningwan was surprised: "What did she say to you? Why would she skip and call you directly?"

That doesn’t seem like sothing Wan Tianning would do.

Ever since she and her sister resolved their differences, they’ve been getting along very well.

Although, Wan Tianning used to be arrogant and clueless, over the years in the entertainnt industry she’s learned how to read people and situations.

Especially when it cos to relationships, she understands boundaries well.

She wouldn’t contact Zhan Hanjue privately; even if she needed to, she’d inform Ye Ningwan first.

Yet in their conversation yesterday, she didn’t ntion Zhan Hanjue, so why did she call him directly?

She wasn’t suspicious of anything between Wan Tianning and Zhan Hanjue, just curious.

"She asked about Lin Yue," Zhan Hanjue said. "She wanted to know Lin Yue’s situation. The overseas company went bankrupt, how about the dostic company? Is it truly all bankrupt, or can the dostic company still be saved?"

"Turns out the girl doesn’t trust , so she called us both to inquire," Ye Ningwan understood.

But shortly after, she smiled and asked, "How did you reply to her?"

"I told her Lin Yue isn’t left with nothing; at least he still has you."

"Just those words?" Ye Ningwan was surprised.

Zhan Hanjue nodded: "Just those. She was as surprised as you and then asked to clarify what I ant. But I hung up the call."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

She couldn’t help but laugh, not knowing what else to say.

Wan Tianning first called her to ask about Lin Yue’s situation.

Ye Ningwan told her that Lin Yue was in a bad situation, having rejected an arranged marriage, the overseas company went bankrupt.

But a company going bankrupt isn’t as simple as just closing down; there are lots of debts too.

So he had to use his dostic company as collateral to pay off the overseas debts.

At least now he’s debt-free, but he also has nothing left.

She told Wan Tianning to decide for herself whether she wanted to accept such a penniless Lin Yue.

Actually, these words were Lin Yue’s request for her to lie to Wan Tianning.

Although she wasn’t willing at first, Lin Yue said: "If she truly loves , she’ll feel hurt for about this and won’t leave . If she doesn’t love , having nothing would an she’d even more likely not be with . Sister, I know this is an, but it’s a chance for her to see her true feelings."

"But, she might feel guilty and then feel sorry for you because you refused an arranged marriage for her."

"Sister, do you think Wan Tianning is the kind of person who would accept soone out of guilt?" Lin Yue questioned back.

Ye Ningwan fell silent, indeed she wasn’t.

She knew from a young age how to avoid harm and maximize her own benefits.

So she’s not soone to act against her true feelings out of guilt.

"Sister, please, if she contacts you, just say what I told you. As for what happens afterward... it’s our business, but I want to try and win her over," Lin Yue pleaded.

"Are you sure about your feelings, never to change?" Ye Ningwan asked.

"I’m sure, it won’t change." Lin Yue said earnestly.

"Alright, I’ll tell her what you said, but I can’t guarantee she’ll believe it."

After hanging up with Lin Yue, Wan Tianning called shortly after.

Sure enough, she asked those sa questions, and Ye Ningwan passed on Lin Yue’s words to her.

Indeed, she didn’t believe it, and imdiately called Zhan Hanjue.

"Was my answer wrong?" Zhan Hanjue asked, watching her smile.

Ye Ningwan shook her head: "No, it was very good. You didn’t lie nor did you expose my words. I think she believed it."

"But Wan Tianning isn’t soone who would force herself because of guilt," Zhan Hanjue reminded.

Ye Ningwan said: "Of course I know, and so does Lin Yue, so there’s no intention to have her force herself out of guilt. We just hope she can calm down and think it over."

"But falling for Wan Tianning, I bet Lin Yue has a challenge on his hands," Zhan Hanjue said.

"Why? What’s wrong with our Tianning? What’s not to like?" Hearing his tone clearly against Wan Tianning, Ye Ningwan couldn’t help but ask angrily.

Zhan Hanjue smiled and said: "I have no objection to her. Not only is Wan Tianning yours, but so is Lin Yue. Isn’t that right?"

Ye Ningwan thought for a mont, and it’s true.

Lin Yue is also her brother.

So their dating ans it’s awkward for her to take sides.

"You just focus on taking care of yourself, and our little girl,"

Zhan Hanjue embraced her, gently rubbing her belly.
