CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212: APOLOGIZING TO YOU ON HIS BEHALF

Ye Ningwan was preparing to set off.

Zhan Hanjue personally took her to the airport, repeatedly reminding her to be careful in everything.

"No matter what, protect yourself."

After speaking, he gave her a strong hug.

Ye Ningwan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself and come back soon."

Only then did the man reluctantly let her go.

Just before entering, Ye Ningwan tiptoed up and gave him a kiss: "I’m leaving, you take care too."

The man nodded.

Ye Ningwan immediately turned around and walked in with Wangyue and the others.

However, just as they were about to enter, a voice suddenly called out to stop them.

"Wangyue."

Wangyue turned around and saw Qiao Yichen gasping for breath as he ran over.

"Young Master Yichen?" Wangyue was surprised.

Qiao Yichen, carrying a large bag, sweated profusely and said, "I’m sorry, Wangyue. I saw your message too late. So I didn’t come to find you in time. I prepared some food for you to eat on the way."

Is this food?

Wangyue looked at the bag, weighing a good ten pounds or more, and felt deeply touched.

Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes beside them.

Did he think Wangyue was escaping hardship with her?

Would she ever run out of food?

"Miss Ye, about my cousin’s incident before, it was our Qiao Family’s fault. I’m here to apologize to you on behalf of Chi." Qiao Yichen suddenly said to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

She didn’t expect him to apologize at this moment.

"It’s all in the past now."

Ye Ningwan said lightly.

After all, it wasn’t she who ended up with a lame leg.

"Wangyue... I’ll leave her in your care, Miss Ye," Qiao Yichen added.

Wangyue hurriedly said, "Young Master Yichen, you got it wrong, I’m the one taking care of Miss Ye."

Ye Ningwan said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let her be wronged."

Only then did Qiao Yichen breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Ningwan said, "We should go inside."

Wangyue nodded, carrying the bag, and waved a smile at Qiao Yichen.

Qiao Yichen stood there, watching them go inside until they were out of sight.

Turning around, he noticed Zhan Hanjue standing nearby.

"Mr. Zhan, hello, I’ve long admired your name."

Qiao Yichen smiled slightly, instantly reverting to the shrewd businessman.

"Miss Ye, Young Master Yichen is really kind, buying me so many tasty treats."

On the plane, Wangyue opened the package, filled with snacks. There were some she liked to eat and specialties from Jiangcheng.

"Miss Ye, do you want some?"

Wangyue took out a braised chicken claw for Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan shook her head: "I won’t eat. You have it! He’s genuinely good to you, so you should remember."

"Of course, I remember all of Young Master Yichen’s kindness. When he gets married, I’ll give him a big red envelope," Wangyue said with a smile.

Ye Ningwan: "..."

If Qiao Yichen heard this, he would be utterly heartbroken!

The girl he liked, only wanting to give a big red envelope on his wedding day.

Soon, the plane arrived in He City.

As soon as they exited the airport, Ye Ningwan couldn’t help but wrap her scarf around her neck.

He City is remote, with strong winds and dryness, even at the airport. A gust brings a face full of yellow sand.

Wangyue quickly put on her hat, frowning, "Why is there so much sand here?"

"That’s why the lamb here is delicious, and so are the watermelons," Ye Ningwan said.

At the mention of lamb and watermelon, Wangyue perked up.

The bodyguard had already rented a car here in advance.

Soon, the rental company delivered the car.

Ye Ningwan got in and told the driver to follow the navigation to Bai Wenjing’s house directly.

"Who are you people?"

Ye Ningwan had come to the Bai Family when she was a child with her master.

Compared to more than ten years ago, the Bai Family seemed to have rebuilt their home.

It looks brand new and grand.

Visible from afar.

After getting out of the car, Wangyue marveled: "Wow, such a grand house, completely different from where we’re from."

"The area here is vast and sparsely populated, so buildings are still large. It’s not like Jiangcheng and Tong City, where you only have pigeonholes," Ye Ningwan explained.

She asked the bodyguard to knock on the door.

After the bodyguard knocked, the butler looked at them in surprise and asked, "Excuse me, what brings you here?"

"Housekeeper Li, hello, I’m Bai Zhi." Ye Ningwan called out his last name, introducing herself.

When she came with her master back then, it was this Housekeeper Li.

Unexpectedly, it was still him after all these years.

Housekeeper Li was surprised when he heard his surname called. When he heard she was Bai Zhi, he was even more astonished.

"Oh, you’re the disciple of the Divine Doctor Zisu, are you here to see our eldest young master?"

"Yes, is Mr. Bai at home?"

"Our eldest young master is at the company, not at home. I will call him right away."

Ye Ningwan smiled and quickly said, "It’s fine, we’ll go in and wait. Is your second young master at home? I borrowed something from him in Jiangcheng and haven’t returned it yet. I was hoping to return it today, but it must be returned to him personally."

Housekeeper Li said, "Oh, you know our youngest young master too. But he’s not at home right now. Come in first, and I’ll call the eldest young master."

Ye Ningwan nodded.

In fact, she had already sent someone to find out that Bai Wenjing was now at the company.

So, she intended to come to the Bai Family first while Bai Wenjing was not at home, to see if she could meet Bai Qishu.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qishu wasn’t there either.

Never mind, let’s go inside and see how it goes.

After entering, Housekeeper Li had someone serve them tea.

Ye Ningwan glanced at Wangyue and smiled as she said to Housekeeper Li, "Housekeeper Li, I remember there was a delicious snack in your He City that I haven’t forgotten since childhood. I wonder if there is any at home?"

Housekeeper Li chuckled, "Yes, yes, of course, we have some. Please wait, and I’ll have someone bring it out right away. We have plenty of good snacks in He City."

Ye Ningwan smiled.

Soon, Housekeeper Li had someone bring out many snacks.

He probably couldn’t remember what Ye Ningwan liked to eat as a child.

So, he had someone bring a bit of everything.

Ye Ningwan didn’t eat, instead, she gave it to Wangyue.

Only then did Wangyue realize that Miss Ye hadn’t asked for herself but for her.

She thought it was strange since Miss Ye never seemed interested in food before, and suddenly she was asking for it.

She couldn’t help but feel deeply grateful.

"Housekeeper Li, where did the second young master go?" Ye Ningwan asked again.

Housekeeper Li’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly smiled, "The second young master hasn’t come back since vacation, saying he’s working outside. The eldest young master is furious and has called him several times to return home. In our kind of family, do we need the little money he makes from working? But the second young master insists on self-sufficiency. He’s grown up, and the eldest young master can’t control him, so he lets him be."

Ye Ningwan chuckled faintly.

Clearly, they were lying to her, pretending he wasn’t home.

Seems like there’s indeed an issue.

At that moment, the sound of a girl arguing suddenly erupted in the courtyard.

"Where’s Bai Wenjing? Let him come out to see me."

Ye Ningwan was startled and immediately stood up.

That voice...?

Leng Linglong?
