CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 260: A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

Ye Ningwan was suddenly hit by a stone thrown by someone, hitting her arm. It hurt, making her exclaim "Ouch" and furrow her brows tightly.

"Who was that? If you dare, come out." Wangyue shouted angrily.

Soon, a little boy ran out from behind the bushes, about seven or eight years old.

He was cute and fair-skinned, his little face was rosy, with red lips and white teeth, his eyebrows were delicate and handsome, resembling the legendary Money-spreading Child.

He wore a pair of suspenders, looking like a little young master.

However, despite being so cute, the boy was rather ill-tempered. After running out, he shouted angrily at Wangyue, "How dare you be fierce to me! I’ll have someone throw you into the pond."

"Was it you who threw the stone just now?" Ye Ningwan stopped Wangyue, asking him calmly.

The boy folded his arms, snorted coldly, and raised his little chin, "So what if it’s me? Ugly monster."

"Why do you call me an ugly monster?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Since her looks had recovered, it was the first time someone saw her face and called her an ugly monster.

People say children’s eyes are clear and bright. Could this little guy have yin-yang eyes, able to see her pre-surgery appearance?

"You’re an ugly monster. You’re not prettier than my sister, nor my mommy. You’re just an ugly monster." The little boy shouted.

Ye Ningwan was puzzled and confused.

She didn’t know his sister or mommy, so why compare his mommy and sister to her?

"Why do you, child, compare your sister and mommy to our Miss Ye? Our Miss Ye doesn’t know them. And, whether someone looks good or not isn’t up to a child like you to decide. In my eyes, our Miss Ye is the prettiest. If you dare, bring your mommy and sister out for a stroll?" Wangyue deliberately said.

Children are children, he immediately bit his lip and stomped fiercely when provoked like this.

"You’ll see my mommy, then you’ll know what a true beauty is."

"Tch, a little kid, what do you know about beauty. And a real beauty? That’s funny." Wangyue dismissed him with disdain.

Ye Ningwan watched the boy run ahead, softly saying, "Follow him."

She really wanted to see why he said such things.

Moreover, everyone in the family had strange looks when they saw her.

Maybe there’s some connection between these two things.

"Mommy."

The little boy ran into a room, energetically heading towards a gracefully-figured woman.

From behind, this woman’s figure was elegant, her age indiscernible. But just from her back, one could tell she must be a great beauty.

Even with such a beautiful back, one wonders how stunning she must look when she turns around.

"Wow."

Wangyue exclaimed in awe.

Wu also stared wide-eyed.

Only Ye Ningwan furrowed her brows, feeling that this back looked somewhat familiar.

The boy’s voice quickly got the woman to turn.

She smiled, looking at him, bending tenderly to gently stroke his cheek, "Tianci, where did you run off to? You’re all sweaty, let mommy wipe it off for you."

The woman took out a handkerchief, gently cleaning the light sweat from the boy’s face.

Indeed, she was very beautiful.

With a jade-like appearance, she was extraordinarily graceful, though no longer a youthful girl.

Yet time had been exceptionally kind to her, leaving few marks on her face, enhancing her with the mature charm that young girls lack.

Making her even more dignified, elegant, and captivating.

Even Wangyue, being a girl, couldn’t help but feel her heartbeat accelerate and sighed, "Wow, so beautiful."

"But also very familiar." Wu was also captivated but retained a trace of rationality.

However, Ye Ningwan’s face turned pale, her body slightly trembling.

She looked at the woman, her heart almost jumping into her throat, her emotions uncontrollably stirred.

"Miss Ye, what’s wrong?"

Wangyue finally noticed Ye Ningwan’s unusual demeanor and quickly asked.

Ye Ningwan shook her head, turned around, and left.

Her brows furrowed, her face still pale, but she walked quickly.

As if chased by a ghost.

Wangyue and Wu were confused but hurriedly followed her.

The boy glanced back, saw them leave, and pouted.

However, he quickly thought that they must have been utterly amazed by his mommy’s beauty, feeling ashamed and leaving.

The beautiful woman also saw the three figures of Ye Ningwan and asked in surprise, "Tianci, who are those people?"

"Big brother’s guests, they’re very ugly." Wan Tianci said disdainfully.

The beautiful woman pretended to be angry, "Tianci, it’s not good to speak bad about people behind their backs. A person’s beauty or ugliness is not important. What’s important is having a kind heart."

"I understand, mommy. I’m the kindest and sweetest baby, mommy’s sweet baby." Wan Tianci showed an innocent smile.

The beautiful woman curled her lips, lovingly stroked his little face again.

Ye Ningwan found Zhan Hanjue, Zhan Hanjue noticed her abnormal pallor, immediately asking in a low voice, "Ningning, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Ye Ningwan shook her head.

Wan Tianyi said, "Madam Zhan, are you alright? You don’t look well. How about resting here? I’ll call a doctor."

"Thank you, Mr. Wan, but it’s unnecessary. I’m a doctor myself. I’m fine, don’t worry, Mr. Wan. Hanjue, let’s go!" Ye Ningwan refused, her eyes pleading as she looked at Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue frowned slightly.

He was having a pleasant conversation with Wan Tianyi and was about to inquire about the "Thousand-year-old Tai Sui" matter; leaving now would ruin it.

However, looking at Ye Ningwan’s pleading gaze, he couldn’t bear to refuse her, so he nodded.

"Alright."

Ye Ningwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Tianyi said, "Mr. Zhan, we’re having such a good conversation, I don’t want Mr. Zhan to leave so soon. Madam Zhan, would you like to stay for dinner? I’ve already asked them to prepare. If Madam Zhan feels unwell, you can rest in the guest room, which is already prepared."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Wan, but we really have things to do, won’t disturb you." Ye Ningwan firmly rejected.

After speaking, not allowing Wan Tianyi to say more, she took Zhan Hanjue and left.

"Ningning, what’s wrong, after all?"

Only after getting in the car did Ye Ningwan let go of Zhan Hanjue’s hand.

She leaned weakly against the seat, closing her eyes as if exhausted.

Her face still pale, void of color.

Zhan Hanjue was both worried and distressed, holding her shoulders gently.

"Don’t ask, let me calm down first." Ye Ningwan said with closed eyes.

Zhan Hanjue’s brow furrowed even deeper.

He looked at Wangyue and Wu.

Wangyue immediately raised her hand, "I don’t know either, she suddenly got like this, I don’t know the reason."

Wu nodded beside her.

Zhan Hanjue’s eyes darkened deeply.

Ye Ningwan’s head tilted slightly, leaning on Zhan Hanjue’s shoulder, her eyes tightly closed, seemingly enduring immense pain.

Zhan Hanjue could only lovingly hold her in his arms and gently pat her shoulder to comfort her.
