CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 345: PLEADING PITIFULLY

Ye Ningwan still wanted to see Zhan Hanjue one more time, but Wu Taotao and the others couldn’t help her anymore.

Just when she didn’t know what to do, Feng Jiuzun came.

He brought her some nutritional supplements, afraid she might be bored, and also brought some small trinkets.

"I know this is a bit childish, but since you don’t play games or watch movies, I didn’t know what to get you. You being home alone must be boring, so you should have something to do."

"If you’re worried I’ll be bored, you can find me a rare medical book. I’d prefer reading that," Ye Ningwan said.

Feng Jiuzun replied, "But reading too much can strain your eyes, especially since you’re pregnant; it’s not good for the baby."

"People read for prenatal education, how is it bad for the baby if I strain my eyes?" Ye Ningwan retorted.

Feng Jiuzun said, "Anyway, I can’t win an argument with you, so I won’t argue. If you want a medical book, I’ll find one next time and bring it to you."

"Feng Jiuzun, is your cousin also pregnant?" Ye Ningwan suddenly asked.

Feng Jiuzun was taken aback, his expression awkward.

He wasn’t the best liar; you could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face.

"You don’t need to say it, I already know," Ye Ningwan quickly said again.

Feng Jiuzun advised her, "Don’t be sad. My cousin and Zhan Hanjue were meant to be together. If it weren’t for my cousin’s sudden passing, they would have been married. Just consider these years a dream. Or... maybe you met me for a reason."

After he finished speaking, he laughed carelessly at her.

Ye Ningwan felt bitter.

How could she pretend these years were just a dream? She couldn’t make it a dream.

It was so real, there was even a little life inside her; how could it be a dream?

"Tomorrow, the Feng Family will host a banquet, and Zhan Hanjue will be invited. At the same time, we’ll announce his affair with my cousin, letting all of Jiangcheng’s elite families know. Ye Ningwan, you really have no chance," Feng Jiuzun added.

Ye Ningwan’s eyes lit up, "Your family is holding a banquet tomorrow? Is Zhan Hanjue going too?"

Feng Jiuzun immediately frowned and asked, "What do you plan to do? Ye Ningwan, I warn you, I won’t do anything, and you shouldn’t think of it either."

Ye Ningwan bit her lips, looking pitiful at him.

Though she didn’t say a word, everything was in her eyes.

Feng Jiuzun irritatedly ruffled his hair, exasperatedly said, "Ye Ningwan, with eyes like that, you could go into acting."

Ye Ningwan still didn’t say a word, continuing to look at him pitifully.

Feng Jiuzun was going crazy.

He truly regretted telling her this, wanting to slap himself; would he die if he kept silent?

If he didn’t say anything, wouldn’t there be none of this?

"Alright, alright, I agree, but first tell me, what do you want to do?"

Finally, unable to resist her pitiful look, Feng Jiuzun reluctantly agreed.

Ye Ningwan immediately became ecstatic, quickly smiling and saying, "Actually, it’s not much. You just have to take me to the Feng Family. It won’t get you into trouble."

"Hmph, taking you back to the Feng Family and it won’t get me into trouble?" Feng Jiuzun sneered.

Ye Ningwan said, "I’ll just pretend to be a food delivery person. As long as you call the security and let me in, it won’t be a problem. Anyway, if you deny it, they won’t have solid evidence against you."

"You have quite the ideas. What do you plan to do once you’re inside?" Feng Jiuzun asked again.

Ye Ningwan said, "Once inside, you don’t need to worry; I just need to try."

"One last time," Feng Jiuzun solemnly said, "Ye Ningwan, I’m helping you one last time. If it doesn’t work, you should give up and let it go!"

"Thank you!" Ye Ningwan expressed her gratitude.

Feng Jiuzun got up and left.

The next day, he ordered some takeout.

Ye Ningwan bribed the vendor to deliver it herself.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the Feng family, the Feng family’s security stopped her.

"Hello, this is an order from Mr. Feng Jiuzun, he asked me to deliver it personally," Ye Ningwan said, wearing a mask.

The security frowned and immediately made a call to Feng Jiuzun.

At this moment, Feng Jiuzun was in the living room chatting with the guests who had arrived.

Being the eldest male of this generation in the Feng Family, Feng Huai asked him to fulfill his duties as a host and make sure to entertain the guests well.

Actually, many socialites were present today, and Feng Huai intentionally wanted him to interact more with young ladies.

He wasn’t young anymore; it was about time for him to get married.

His parents weren’t local, and he grew up under Feng Huai’s care. Feng Huai was more concerned about his marriage than his own parents.

Unfortunately, Feng Jiuzun was flirtatious and liked joking with girls.

But when it came to discussing marriage, he was always unwilling.

Feng Huai was livid.

"Even if Zhan Hanjue doesn’t want Ye Ningwan, she won’t want you. And even if she did, our Feng Family wouldn’t let her in."

Feng Jiuzun didn’t care.

Now, while joking with a girl, he suddenly received a call from the security and calmly replied, "Yes, I ordered the takeout, let her in."

"Young Master Feng, there is so much good food at home, and several chefs, why would you still order takeout?" Miss Chen asked with a smile.

Feng Jiuzun charmingly curved his lips, "I like takeout; home-cooked meals aren’t as tasty as takeout."

"Which takeout is that delicious?" Miss Chen curiously asked.

Feng Jiuzun laughed, "I’m not telling you. If I did, you’d also want to try it. If too many people go, the chef will get busy, and it definitely won’t taste as good."

Miss Chen playfully scolded, "Silver-tongued."

At this time, Feng Qianru and Zhan Hanjue came down from upstairs.

Seeing them, many people looked up.

Miss Chen glanced over and praised, "What a handsome couple. I always thought they suited each other best, and indeed they ended up together."

"Yes, especially since Miss Feng is still alive. Young Master Feng, you must be the happiest!"

Feng Jiuzun nodded, "Of course, I’m happy my sister is alive."

"Zun."

After coming down, Feng Qianru smiled and greeted Feng Jiuzun.

Feng Jiuzun was raised by Feng Qianru since childhood, so the siblings shared a deep bond.

"Sis, you look beautiful today," Feng Jiuzun praised with a smile.

Feng Qianru glanced at Zhan Hanjue and tenderly said, "Of course, today is a big day for Hanjue and me; I should look beautiful."

Feng Jiuzun still showed no kindness toward Zhan Hanjue, rolling his eyes dismissively.

Zhan Hanjue said, "Zun, in the past, I understand you might have misunderstood me, but why do you still have issues with me now?"

"My issues with you aren’t a day-old thing; I’ll never have a good impression of you in this lifetime," Feng Jiuzun sneered.

"Zun."

Feng Qianru scolded unhappily.

Then, she whispered something to Zhan Hanjue and pulled Feng Jiuzun aside.

"Sis, why are you pulling me?" Feng Jiuzun complained unhappily, being dragged into a room by Feng Qianru.

"Zun, is your attitude toward Hanjue because of Ye Ningwan?" Feng Qianru asked.
