CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: MISUNDERSTANDING HER

Ye Ningwan set out from home and arrived at Dewang Building.

Looking at the quiet Dewang Building, she frowned.

Usually, when having breakfast or afternoon tea here, you have to share a table with others when it’s busy.

What’s going on today?

There isn’t a single person here.

Could it be closing down!

Saying a location casually and it closes, is she cursed?

"Are you not open today?"

Ye Ningwan stopped a waiter.

The waiter immediately said, "Of course not, today it has been booked by a Mr. Zhan. If you want to have our food, you can come back tomorrow."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

Truly extravagant, no need to explain.

"Madam, you are here."

Wu came out and saw Ye Ningwan, immediately going forward to greet her.

Ye Ningwan was still wearing a veil, actually, the waiter had found it strange before, who wears a veil these days?

Regarding Zhan Hanjue booking the entire building, the staff had long been discussing privately.

Who exactly is this big boss inviting, spending so lavishly, definite extravagance.

However, they all assumed, it must be another big boss as well.

Big bosses discussing business can earn more money, so only then would he be willing to spend so much.

But they didn’t expect, it turned out to be a woman.

And called her Madam?

In an instant, the waiter’s mind painted a melodramatic scene.

Yet as the staff of this building, even with turmoil inside, they remained calm on the surface.

Quickly stepped back to gossip with other staff.

Ye Ningwan maintained a stern face, reminding Wu: "No longer Madam, call me Miss Ye."

Wu was embarrassed, having to address her as "Miss Ye."

"Is he upstairs?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Wu nodded.

Ye Ningwan went upstairs.

Zhan Hanjue was in the most elegant private room in the entire Dewang Building.

From this vantage point, you can clearly see the lake in front of Tong City, with an island in the center of the lake.

In the morning and evening, the island looks hazy, like a fairyland.

That’s why this restaurant is called Dewang Building.

The word "Wang" already indicates the restaurant’s advantage.

Ye Ningwan pushed the door open and saw Zhan Hanjue sitting by the window looking at the scenery outside.

Upon hearing the door open, Zhan Hanjue turned around.

Their four eyes met, both deepening their gaze.

Ye Ningwan felt an unease in her chest.

After three months without seeing each other, Zhan Hanjue had lost a lot of weight.

The whole person seemed colder and lonelier, like a traveler walking out of a desolate desert.

"You’ve gained weight."

The man spoke slowly.

Ye Ningwan: "..."

You’re fat, your whole family is fat.

"I weighed myself this morning, not an ounce heavier," Ye Ningwan said with a stern face.

"Then you’re looking better, living so well after leaving me?" the man mocked.

Ye Ningwan was incensed.

What’s with meeting and immediately sneering?

"Of course, these three months, I have no idea how well I’ve been living."

"I see, so you deliberately had Ye Pengcheng go to the Zhan Family and say those things, something you anticipated long ago. You wanted to leave me but had no better option, so you struck at the root to make me let you go?"

Zhan Hanjue walked over, reached her side, suddenly pinching her chin to question.

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow, who’s been spouting nonsense to him?

"Before Ye Pengcheng said those things, I don’t remember the accident. How could I talk to Ye Pengcheng about saying those things? Zhan Hanjue, you’re mistaken."

She pushed his hand away, declaring righteously.

Zhan Hanjue snorted: "Mistaken? Before, I did think it was a mistake. Shortly after you left, someone told me that you never had amnesia, it was fake. You remembered everything from the start. It was also deliberate of you to reveal to Ye Pengcheng, for him to tell my grandmother forcing us apart. At that time, I didn’t believe it. I treated you so well, how could you heartlessly scheme against me this way. But, until I found out you were here, and learned your purpose here, I believed it. You had to leave me, so you could come here, right, Divine Doctor Bai Zhi?"

Ye Ningwan turned pale.

It seems, within just two days, Zhan Hanjue had already figured out her reason for being here.

Treating Xie Mingyu was something decided more than ten years ago.

Yet, she had never mentioned it to him.

In his eyes, it was all a plan she had orchestrated long ago.

Using Ye Pengcheng to get away, and he was just a tool she used.

Sure enough, Zhan Hanjue continued coldly: "Before, I always thought you were just using me to investigate your parents’ cause of death and to avenge them. Now, I realize, besides using me for that, you also used me to gather valuable herbs to treat that young master of the Xie Family. Ye Ningwan, how cold-hearted you are, to dare use me over and over again like this."

"Zhan Hanjue, I didn’t, listen to my explanation." Ye Ningwan didn’t expect him to misunderstand her so deeply, she pleaded urgently.

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly: "An explanation? Fine, I’ll give you a chance to explain. Ye Ningwan, you better give me an explanation I’ll be satisfied with."

"I truly don’t remember..."

"Ye Ningwan."

Just as Ye Ningwan was about to explain, the door to the private room was pushed open. Then, Xie Mingyu was led in, face pale.

"Xie Mingyu, why are you up?" Ye Ningwan frowned.

Today shouldn’t have been his day to wake up; he was supposed to wake up tomorrow.

Xie Mingyu smiled weakly at her: "I missed you, so I woke up early."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

"Don’t talk nonsense."

"I’m not talking nonsense; you’re my fiancée, of course I miss you." Xie Mingyu said: "You’ve endured so much for me, risking your life to cure me, Wanwan, the moment I woke up I wanted to see you."

Saying that, Xie Mingyu leaned towards Ye Ningwan, looking as if he missed her terribly.

Ye Ningwan was about to go crazy, she hurriedly looked at Zhan Hanjue to explain: "Zhan Hanjue, don’t listen to him."

"Am I talking nonsense, let him see this and he’ll know." Xie Mingyu sneered, asking someone to bring out the marriage contract written by Ye Ningwan herself.

The man’s face was gloomy, his eyes terrifyingly deep, emitting a world-destroying chill.

Ye Ningwan looked at his expression, speechless, unsure how to explain.

At this point, it seemed anything she said would be hard to refute.

That bastard Xie Mingyu added fuel to the fire.

"Wanwan, you suffered so much for me. Rest assured, I don’t care that you were once married. My life belongs to you now, and from now on, I’m only yours."

"Shut up."

"Ye Ningwan, very well." Zhan Hanjue suddenly laughed.

"Zhan Hanjue."

Ye Ningwan called him with a trembling voice.

But the next second, Zhan Hanjue left with a stern face.

Striding purposefully out, his back straight, seemingly forcing restraint.

Ye Ningwan closed her eyes, feeling awful inside.

She staggered to sit down by the table.

It seems there’s no chance for her and Zhan Hanjue now.

"Are you very sad?"

Xie Mingyu looked at her pale face, frowning as he asked.

"Xie Mingyu, this is typical of repaying kindness with enmity, rewarding good with evil."

Ye Ningwan said with resentment.
