CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 271: DRINKING TO FORGET AFTER A FIGHT

Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue left the Wan Family and had just walked a short distance when the car stopped.

"Wanwan."

Ye Ningwan opened the car door and got out, ignoring Zhan Hanjue’s call. "Bang!" she slammed the car door shut and strode forward.

Wangyue hurriedly got out of the car to follow her.

However, Zhan Hanjue also got out, caught up, and grabbed her arm: "Wanwan, don’t be angry."

"Why shouldn’t I be angry?" Ye Ningwan said furiously. "After all this fuss, you still want to see that Li Qingqing. How could I not be angry?"

"Without seeing her, we can’t get the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui. She saved my grandmother’s life, I can’t just let her die." Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan snorted and laughed: "So you mean I’m the one who’s heartless and ungrateful?"

"That’s not what I meant, Wanwan. You’re the most sensible person; you’re different from those unreasonable girls. Why now too...?"

"Why now too what? Also becoming unreasonable?"

"I said, that’s not what I meant."

"Zhan Hanjue, I think that’s exactly what you mean." Ye Ningwan stamped her foot in anger.

After stomping, she turned and walked away.

This time, Zhan Hanjue did not catch up.

"Boss, aren’t you going to chase the lady?" Wu asked.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head with a sullen face: "No chase, I’m not wrong, why chase her? She’s being unreasonable, let her calm down."

"Then we..."

"Take me to the bar."

"Boss, actually I think the lady isn’t wrong either." Wu tried to persuade softly.

Zhan Hanjue shot him a cold look, and Wu quickly covered his mouth, then said moments later: "I’ll take you there right away."

Wu instructed the driver to navigate to the nearest bar and took Zhan Hanjue there.

At this time, there weren’t many people at the bar yet.

Zhan Hanjue liked such quiet places, so he found a corner and had the bartender make him a drink.

Soon, night fell, and the bar became more and more crowded.

Zhan Hanjue, with his looks, attracts attention no matter where he is.

Many women saw him and couldn’t help but be moved, approaching to chat.

But each time he rejected them.

Until he was slightly drunk, another woman came over.

The woman walked up beside him and rested a hand on his shoulder.

Zhan Hanjue roared angrily: "Scram."

His demeanor scared off many women.

But this woman was unfazed, her hand unmoving on his shoulder, sitting down and saying: "It’s no fun drinking alone."

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Zhan Hanjue looked up.

"It’s you?"

The woman smiled slyly: "I didn’t expect you to still remember my voice. I’m so touched. I thought you’d forget everything about me."

"Li Qingqing, what on earth do you want?" Zhan Hanjue questioned.

Li Qingqing blinked innocently: "Hanjue, what do I want, I thought you’ve always understood. What I want is just you. What, have I not made it clear enough, or are you too stupid? No, you’re not stupid. You’re so smart, how could you be stupid. It must be that I haven’t been clear enough. So now I formally inform you, Hanjue, I’ve never changed my mind. Even if you’re cold and heartless to me, sending me to prison on your wedding day, I still love you, till death do us part."

"So, after doing so much, you’re still not giving up?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Li Qingqing said: "Why should I give up on something I’ve persisted for over ten years? Hanjue, you really don’t understand me. What I want, I’ll definitely strive for with all my might."

"Do you know, the more you do this, the more I loathe you." Zhan Hanjue said dismissively.

Li Qingqing murmured: "I know, but I have no choice. If I don’t irritate you, you wouldn’t even have any feelings of annoyance towards me. What am I, being by your side for years, coming and going, but just emptiness? Even if it’s annoyance, I want to be some emotion in your life. Hanjue, for you, I’ve gone from having nothing to being in the spotlight. Then from the spotlight, back to having nothing. You want me to give up now, how could I be willing?"

"How can you call yourself having nothing," Zhan Hanjue said. "Don’t you still have Wan Yufeng’s exclusive favor? Even the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, such a valuable herb, he spent a fortune to buy it and would give it to you if he said so. His feelings for you probably surpass those he has for his wife, Mrs. Wan. Li Qingqing, you don’t need to portray yourself as a lovesick fool. You keep saying you like me, yet it hasn’t stopped you from having deep flirts with other men."

"Hanjue, are you misunderstanding?" Li Qingqing quickly explained: "There’s nothing between me and Wan Yufeng, he just appreciates me. He has a deep love for his wife, how could he have an ambiguous relationship with me? I know you don’t believe what I said, but I can prove it to you."

"How will you prove it?" Zhan Hanjue asked, his eyes hazy.

Li Qingqing was about to speak, but suddenly she thought of something, her face stiffened, and she chuckled lightly: "Hanjue, are you doing this on purpose? You want to find out about my relationship with Wan Yufeng."

"You can say whatever you like. You’re unclear with other men and still confess to me, you think I’ll believe you." Zhan Hanjue sneered, stood up, and started to stagger away.

Li Qingqing also stood up hurriedly and went forward to support him.

"Get away." Zhan Hanjue pushed her away displeased.

But after pushing her, he staggered and almost fell.

Li Qingqing quickly went to support him again, and just as he was about to push her away again, she said urgently: "Hanjue, don’t be in a rush to push me away. You’re drunk, unstable, let me help you."

"Take me back to the hotel." Zhan Hanjue no longer pushed her, leaning drunkenly onto her.

Li Qingqing felt joy in her heart, quickly supporting him as they walked.

However, Zhan Hanjue was tall and strong, and she, being a woman, could hardly support him.

Luckily, Wu soon came over, intending to take over supporting Zhan Hanjue, but was rebuked by Li Qingqing.

"He asked me to take him back to the hotel, you just need to assist."

"But..."

"But what, can I eat him?" Li Qingqing retorted.

Wu was rendered speechless by her questioning, and could only help get Zhan Hanjue into the car and take him to the hotel.

At the hotel, Wu and Li Qingqing laid Zhan Hanjue on the bed.

Wu quickly said to Li Qingqing: "Miss Li, I’ll take care of the boss; you can leave now."

Li Qingqing snorted coldly: "He told me to take care of him, how can you, as a man, take as good care?"

"Miss Li, please don’t make it difficult for me. The boss asking you to take him back is already pushing it; if he knows you stayed to take care of him, he might be unhappy."

Li Qingqing bit her lip, looked at Wu with his firm attitude, then at the drunken Zhan Hanjue lying on the bed, and reluctantly left.

There’s always tomorrow.

Although this was an excellent opportunity.

But she’s waited for over ten years, she doesn’t mind this bit of time.

"Take good care of him, I’m leaving. Tell him, if he wants the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, he should call me when he wakes up."
