CHAPTER 12: CHAPTER 12: BEG FOR IT IF YOU WANT IT

EDITOR: HENYEE TRANSLATIONS

Lin Yuyang didn’t succeed and immediately confessed to Ye Ningwan: "Ningwan, I truly like you. I was previously fooled by Ye Xuan. Give me another chance, I’ll divorce Ye Xuan right away and be with you."

"Mr. Lin, if my second sister hears this, she would be heartbroken," Ye Ningwan said slowly.

Lin Yuyang shouted immediately, "Who cares if that vicious woman is hurt? I’ll divorce her as soon as I return. Ningwan, don’t worry, I will avenge you, and won’t let you suffer easily."

"Lin Yuyang, you bastard, we just got married a few days ago, and you already want a divorce."

The door was suddenly kicked open from the outside with a "bang," and Ye Xuan rushed in.

Lin Yuyang was shocked. How did she come here?

"Ye Ningwan, you bitch, how dare you seduce my husband?" Ye Xuan cursed at Ye Ningwan, pointing at her.

Ye Ningwan frowned, her cold eyes turning to Lin Yuyang: "Mr. Lin, you are the one who invited me out today. Now that my second sister misunderstands, will you just sit by and do nothing? I thought you were a decent person."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuyang, full of hot blood, immediately rushed to Ye Xuan and pointed at her, angrily reprimanding: "Ye Xuan, you shrew. How dare you criticize Ningwan! If not for your schemes, Ningwan would be my wife. How could I possibly marry you?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes widened: "Lin Yuning, you heartless man. Was that really just my idea? You seduced me first. You told me you didn’t want to marry an ugly monster, and now you blame me? Do you think I wanted to marry you? If I’d met Zhan Hanjue earlier, would I have chosen you?"

"You finally admitted it. You were acting weird after coming home yesterday, and your eyes were full of disdain. So, you have your eyes on Zhan Hanjue."

"Hmph, who are you to blame me? Aren’t you the same? Didn’t you keep thinking about that bitch Ye Ningwan when you got home yesterday and then eagerly invited her out today?"

"Yes, I was thinking of Ningwan. I regret marrying you. You should hurry up and divorce me, so we can return to our respective places." Lin Yuyang seized the opportunity to bring up the divorce.

Ye Xuan was both angry and hurt.

The Lin family had officially married her with great fanfare, and if they really divorced, how could she ever face Jiangcheng again?

"You want a divorce? Not a chance. I won’t let you succeed. Bitch, watch as I tear that fox face of yours."

Ye Xuan screamed, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws as she lunged at Ye Ningwan.

Lin Yuyang tried to block her, but she shoved him aside, causing him to collide with a nearby pillar.

Ye Ningwan was startled, reaching for a silver needle, ready to jab Ye Xuan when she rushed over.

However, before she could act, someone else burst in from outside and grabbed Ye Xuan’s wrist.

With a powerful throw, Ye Xuan spun like a top and screamed as she collided with the door frame.

"Are you hurt?" The man tossed Ye Xuan away and then accurately found Ye Ningwan’s direction, asking softly.

Ye Ningwan looked at him in surprise.

She wondered, why did he come as well?

"Are you injured?" When he saw no response, the man reached out to check her for injuries.

Ye Ningwan snapped back to her senses, hastily evading and explaining: "No, I was just surprised you came?"

"I happened to be discussing something next door, and heard the commotion over here." The man replied.

Ye Ningwan thought to herself, what would a blind man come to see?

"I heard your voice," the man added.

Ye Ningwan pursed her lips, he recognized her voice. She didn’t expect he cared about her.

"Lin Yuyang, aren’t you going to help me?" Ye Xuan shouted.

Lin Yuyang was stunned to see Zhan Hanjue there!

Hearing Ye Xuan’s cries, he realized what he was doing and ran over to help her up.

Ye Xuan touched her forehead and found it bleeding.

Instantly frightened, she cried loudly and demanded Lin Yuyang take her to the hospital.

Lin Yuyang was already feeling guilty about secretly meeting someone else’s wife, especially as it was Zhan Hanjue, whom he secretly feared.

Seizing the opportunity, he quickly helped Ye Xuan to leave, not daring to linger for even a moment.

"Lin Yuyang, you haven’t given me the jade pendant," Ye Ningwan called out.

But Lin Yuyang ran faster than a rabbit, applying oil to his feet and slipping away.

Ye Ningwan bit her lip in anger and blamed Zhan Hanjue: "It’s all your fault for scaring him away without giving me the jade pendant."

"Ye Ningwan, aren’t you being too bold?" Zhan Hanjue’s face went grim.

This woman was truly audacious. He helped her, yet she had the nerve to blame him.

Ye Ningwan was startled, quickly smiling awkwardly and apologizing: "I’m sorry, I was wrong."

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly and turned away.

Ye Ningwan bit her lip, frowning in regret, wondering how she could forget this man’s status.

"You met Lin Yuyang just to get the jade pendant?" After a while, the man questioned again.

Ye Ningwan thought to herself, since he had heard her voice, he probably had been next door all along, hearing her conversation with Lin Yuyang clearly.

Following the principle of confessing for leniency and resisting for severity, she confessed honestly: "Yes, the main goal was to retrieve the jade pendant, and incidentally sow some discord so he and Ye Xuan would fall out. However, since they schemed against me before, I couldn’t just let them off easily."

Before she came, she had someone inform Ye Xuan that Lin Yuyang had arranged to meet her here.

Otherwise, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have come.

"If you want revenge, just ask me," the man said.

Ye Ningwan chuckled awkwardly, eagerly massaging his shoulders: "Such a minor matter, no need to trouble Mr. Zhan. But, are you really here for business? Or did Housekeeper Wu tell you I was meeting Lin Yuyang here, so you came on purpose...?"

"Come in," Zhan Hanjue shouted loudly.

At this moment, another person walked in from outside.

This man was around thirty, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very handsome and refined.

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, his gentle and kind gaze made one feel like a spring breeze.

"Miss Ye misunderstood Mr. Zhan. I had arranged to meet Mr. Zhan here yesterday. I didn’t expect the good fortune of encountering Miss Ye today," the man said with a smile.

Ye Ningwan felt embarrassed, giving him an awkward smile, and nodded slightly in greeting.

The man was dazzled by her smile and couldn’t help but exclaim: "The rumor that the Third Miss Ye of the Ye family is remarkably ugly is truly lethal. If people knew how beautiful you are, who knows how many young and talented men in Jiangcheng would have come to propose."

"Alright, this isn’t your business, you can leave now," Zhan Hanjue coldly dismissed.

The man was speechless; being discarded so quickly was unexpected.

"Miss Ye, my surname is Xia, Xia Wenyuan, deputy general manager of Zhan Group. I hope we meet again," the man introduced himself with a smile before leaving.

Though as soon as he said ’hope we meet again,’ he saw Zhan Hanjue’s face turn cold.

Xia Wenyuan had to awkwardly add: "Of course, our fate is likely shallow and brief."
