CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 272: RELENTLESSLY PURSUING

After Zhan Hanjue woke up, he naturally wouldn’t call Li Qingqing.

Learning that Ningwan didn’t come back all night, he immediately called Ningwan.

Ningwan didn’t answer, so he called Wangyue, who answered quickly.

"Mr. Zhan, we are staying at the Crown Hotel now. Miss Ye said she doesn’t want to stay with you."

"I’ll go over there immediately," Zhan Hanjue said with a sullen face.

He asked Wu to prepare the car and headed to the Crown Hotel.

Unexpectedly, Ningwan was having breakfast but she wasn’t alone.

"This mutton soup is good, would you like to try it? I’ll get you a bowl," the man asked attentively.

"I don’t like mutton soup," Ningwan refused.

"Then do you like beef stew? Beef stew is tasty too," the man suggested with a smile.

Ningwan looked at him coldly: "You’re not even from Philadelphia, don’t act like you know everything about Philadelphia’s cuisine."

"Although I’m not from Philadelphia, I’ve done my homework," the man immediately refuted.

"Ye Ningwan."

Zhan Hanjue stood not far away, watching this scene with clenched fists in anger.

Finally unable to hold back his anger, he shouted and walked over briskly, pulling Ningwan up.

Maybe he used too much force; when Ningwan was pulled up, she knocked over the teacups on the table.

The sound of the cups smashing on the ground made the three of them visibly move.

Zhan Hanjue was the first to respond, hastily pulling Ningwan to check: "Wanwan, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. Did I hurt you?"

"Zhan Hanjue, you’re too much," Ningwan angrily pushed him away.

The man sitting opposite Ningwan quickly came over, shielding Ningwan behind him: "Zhan Hanjue, I didn’t expect you to be so rough. I was right; you don’t deserve Ningwan."

"Feng Jiuzun, what’s it to you? Get lost," Zhan Hanjue scolded angrily.

It turned out, the man fawning over Ningwan was none other than Feng Jiuzun.

Who knows when he came to Philadelphia and ended up with Ningwan.

When Zhan Hanjue entered earlier and saw this scene, he was about to explode with anger.

Last time Feng Jiuzun took Ningwan away, it already made him very angry.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuzun was so bold, not giving up easily, even after being confined by his family for days last time. He actually chased to Philadelphia, making a comeback.

"What do you mean, what’s it to me, I like Ningwan, I came to pursue her, why should I get lost?" Feng Jiuzun provoked.

Ningwan reprimanded: "Feng Jiuzun, stop talking, I don’t like you."

"It’s okay if you don’t like me, as long as I like you. Ningwan, I have the right to pursue you," Feng Jiuzun said.

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly: "She is my wife; what right do you have?"

"Your wife? Then why isn’t she staying with you, not even willing to stay in the same hotel? Even if she was before, she probably isn’t anymore," Feng Jiuzun mocked.

"Wanwan, come back with me," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ningwan refused: "I won’t, unless you promise not to have any contact with Li Qingqing."

"The Thousand-year-old Tai Sui is in her hands, we can’t completely avoid contact with her, Wanwan, don’t be willful. You’re not that sort of person, you..."

"Yes, I’m indeed not a willful person. But this time, I want to be willful, so what? Zhan Hanjue, are you willing to tolerate my willfulness?" Ningwan questioned.

Zhan Hanjue remained silent with a cold face.

Ningwan chuckled: "It seems, a person really can’t be too understanding. Once used to being understanding, others will think that’s all you are. A little lack of understanding, gets labeled as willfulness. Zhan Hanjue, it seems you don’t really know me."

After speaking, Ningwan turned to leave.

"Wanwan."

Zhan Hanjue reached out to pull her back.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was slapped away by Feng Jiuzun.

"Didn’t you hear she doesn’t want to talk to you, still clinging on, Zhan Hanjue, I really despise you."

"Feng Jiuzun."

"Wanwan, I’m willing to accept your willfulness, if Zhan Hanjue doesn’t want to understand you, I do," Feng Jiuzun ignored Zhan Hanjue and pursued Ningwan with a playful smile.

Ningwan continued to walk forward without looking back.

Neither agreeing to Feng Jiuzun, nor chastising him, they left together.

Zhan Hanjue stood to the side, seeing this, clenched his fists tightly, his face as dark as can be.

Wangyue quickly ran in front of him to advise: "Mr. Zhan, don’t be so angry. That Feng Jiuzun just arrived this morning; who knows how he found out about this place, just waiting at the door, Miss Ye was too lazy to pay him any mind."

"I’m not angry, why would I be angry? She’s with Feng Jiuzun, I’ll go find Li Qingqing," Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly and got up to leave.

Wangyue frowned, muttering softly: "He says he’s not angry, but his words are full of anger."

However, clearly, Zhan Hanjue wasn’t just speaking out of anger.

He was really going to find Li Qingqing.

With the address given by the Wan Family, he went to Li Qingqing’s residence.

However, he was stopped by the security at the entrance.

They said a call had to be made to the owner for confirmation before letting them in.

Wu negotiated with the security, coldly snorting: "Hurry up and call; if the owner knows it’s our boss looking for her, she’ll definitely come to the gate herself to welcome him."

"Just brag! That owner is a great beauty, countless men come looking for her, she’s never let anyone inside," the security sneered.

However, after the call, Li Qingqing indeed let them in.

The security was dumbfounded but came out to tell Wu: "Miss Li told you to come in."

Wu, feeling smug, got back in the car and instructed the driver to drive in.

Sure enough, Li Qingqing was waiting at the door, wearing a long dress and high heels, with exquisite makeup.

"Hanjue, I’m so happy you’ve come to find me." Li Qingqing personally went over to open the car door for Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue got out with a stern face but said to her: "The reason I’m here, I don’t need to say it, I’m sure you know."

Li Qingqing smiled: "Of course I know, it’s about the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui. Such a large piece, I can’t use it all. If you want it, I can give it to you. But Hanjue, you should know, it’s not something I must give just because you want it. If I give it to you, there have to be conditions."

"What conditions?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Li Qingqing looked at him with tender eyes.

Zhan Hanjue immediately said sternly: "Marrying you is impossible, I won’t marry you for these things."

"I know, previously threatening you with your grandmother’s life made you agree to marry me. Now, for just a little something, if you agreed to marry me, I’d be shocked. I don’t aspire for you to marry me, but can we have a romance? Hanjue, you know I love you, I’ve never changed in over a decade. I don’t hope to be your wife, but just wish to have a romance with you, so I can have no regrets in this life."
