CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 343: THINKING OF HER BRINGS HEARTACHE

"Stop crying." Mr. Zhan scolded irritably.

Ningwan’s tears flowed even more fiercely, as her pregnancy caused changes in her body, making her hormones surge. Even the smallest things felt overwhelmingly distressing, let alone facing such a situation.

"Can you please stop crying?" Mr. Zhan scolded again.

Wu Taotao was angry: "Zhan Hanjue, you’re too much. She’s upset, of course she would cry, do you have to control even this?"

"Alright, Hanjue, don’t be angry. Since you don’t want to hold her accountable, let’s just go back! I’m not feeling well and want to go back to rest early." Feng Qianru gently held Mr. Zhan’s arm.

Mr. Zhan nodded.

Feng Qianru glanced at Ningwan, signaling Mr. Zhan to leave first.

After Mr. Zhan left, Feng Qianru walked up to Ningwan.

Wu Taotao immediately assumed a defensive stance.

Feng Qianru said, "Don’t worry, I mean no harm. Miss Ye, I just want to say thank you for taking care of Hanjue while I was away. But now that I’m back, you can step back with your achievements. Additionally, I want to tell you that I’m pregnant, Hanjue is very happy, so please don’t interfere with our lives anymore."

After speaking, Feng Qianru left.

Ningwan clenched her fists tightly, her white teeth biting her lower lip.

Her heart felt as if it had been punched hard, making her unable to bear it. Everything went black, and she fainted.

"Ningning, Ningning."

Wu Taotao held her up, calling her name nervously.

Jin Yingzi quickly said, "Support her to the side."

The two of them moved Ningwan to the side to lay down.

Jin Yingzi placed her hand on Ningwan’s pulse to check, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"What’s wrong? Ningning won’t be in any trouble, right?" Wu Taotao asked nervously.

Jin Yingzi shook her head: "She’s fine, she fainted because she was too worked up and her body is weak. But... she... also seems to be pregnant."

"What?" Wu Taotao was shocked.

Jin Yingzi said in surprise, "You didn’t know?"

Wu Taotao said, "How would I know? She didn’t tell me. When did this happen? Whose child is it? Is it Zhan Hanjue’s? Why won’t she tell Zhan Hanjue? No, I have to go after Zhan Hanjue and tell him Ningning is also pregnant."

"Don’t be impulsive." Jin Yingzi held the excited Wu Taotao: "The child must be Zhan Hanjue’s, but Miss Ye didn’t say anything because she doesn’t want Zhan Hanjue to know."

"How can he not know? If he knows Ningning is pregnant, maybe he’ll have a change of heart."

"Wu Taotao, if a child is needed to tie a man down, do you think such a man is worth it? Besides, don’t forget, that woman is also pregnant. Given the current situation, who do you think Zhan Hanjue would choose? If he chooses that woman, have you thought about what kind of fate Miss Ye and her unborn child would face?"

Wu Taotao’s face stiffened.

Even though she had never encountered such a situation, she could roughly guess.

Most likely, neither Zhan Hanjue nor that woman would allow Ningning to give birth to the child.

"I guess this is why Miss Ye doesn’t want to reveal her pregnancy. She wants to protect the child, so how can we ruin her efforts?" Jin Yingzi said.

"But with Zhan Hanjue’s attitude, does she still want to have the child?" Wu Taotao murmured.

Jin Yingzi said, "Whether she wants to or not is Miss Ye’s own decision. We, as her friends, should stay by her side and support her decisions without interfering."

"You’re right, I was confused. Thank you, Yingzi, for reminding me." Wu Taotao thanked.

Jin Yingzi shook her head: "It’s nothing, I owe Miss Ye, I’m happy to do something for her."

"Actually, she stopped blaming you a long time ago." Wu Taotao said.

"But she hasn’t forgiven me, I know that. Alright, you stay with her, I need to go to the hospital. Mr. Zhan disappeared from the hospital, I wonder if Wen Jianan might be in trouble, I’ll go check."

Wu Taotao nodded, watching her leave.

"Hanjue, are you alright?"

After getting in the car with Feng Qianru, Zhan Hanjue was still clutching his chest in pain, and Feng Qianru asked with concern.

"I’m fine, I don’t know why, but my heart is feeling uncomfortable." Zhan Hanjue shook his head.

Feng Qianru said, "Did that woman do something to you? As expected, she’s as vicious as the rumors say. Maybe she did something to you, I think you’d better see a doctor."

"It’s fine, I woke up quickly, she probably didn’t do anything to me."

He just felt uncomfortable in his heart, and this discomfort wasn’t due to any external cause.

It was because he saw Ningwan’s tears, making him feel uncomfortable.

He was very aware of his reason, just puzzled as to why seeing her tears made him feel sad?

"You should go back and rest early, maybe you’re just too tired." Feng Qianru said again.

Zhan Hanjue nodded.

He closed his eyes, leaning back.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could remember Ningwan’s tears, looking at him with watery eyes.

That aggrieved expression made his heart feel even more sorrowful.

After returning home, he let Feng Qianru go rest first.

However, he didn’t rest right away and instead called Xia Wenyuan over.

When Xia Wenyuan arrived, he asked with concern, "I heard something happened at the hospital today, are you alright?"

Zhan Hanjue shook his head: "I’m fine, Wenyuan, we’ve known each other for years, be honest with me. What was it really like between me and Ye Ningwan before?"

Xia Wenyuan was taken aback, asking with a wry smile, "Why the sudden question? Didn’t you already know? She used the marriage to deceive and hurt you, you saw through her scheme, and she fled in disgrace. What more don’t you understand?"

"But when I saw her today... no, to be precise, I felt it the last time too. In any case, every time I see her, I don’t feel like she’s someone who would deceive and use me, I always feel... there’s something I’m missing." Zhan Hanjue said with a frown.

Xia Wenyuan said, "Hanjue, you’re too soft-hearted. You were like this before, too. Even knowing she was in league with outsiders, you forgave her repeatedly. That’s why she had the chance to trick you into going to Philadelphia, almost getting you killed."

"Is that really true?" Zhan Hanjue frowned even more deeply.

Xia Wenyuan smiled wryly, "If you don’t believe me, then why call me over."

Zhan Hanjue apologized: "I don’t disbelieve you, you’re my friend, how could I not trust you. I just... wanted to confirm. Thank you, Wenyuan, for taking care of the company while I’ve been away."

"Hanjue, don’t be so formal, I’m not just your deputy, I’m also your friend." Xia Wenyuan walked over and patted his shoulder.

After leaving Zhan Hanjue’s study, Xia Wenyuan saw Feng Qianru standing in the garden admiring the flowers.

He stopped in his tracks, looking deeply at that graceful figure.

Feng Qianru, as if sensing something, turned to look at him. She smiled gently, showing a soft and sweet smile.
