CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: LIU SHIYAN SAVED ME

Ningwan was sleeping in a daze, when she suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her and couldn’t help but open her eyes.

Oh.

There really were a pair of eyes staring at her.

Ningwan sat up in bed abruptly, wrapping the blanket around herself, and asked in a panic, "Zhan Hanjue, what are you doing?"

"Awake?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ningwan replied irritably, "I barely slept well, and you’re staring me awake. Why are you here? What do you want?"

Could it be about last night?

Chen Tan must have told him!

This guy, who knows how he’ll ridicule me.

"Actually, last night..."

"I’m here to tell you, last night Liu Shiyan saved me, and to express my gratitude to her. So, I’ve decided to bring her to live at the Zhan Family. Do you have any objections?" Zhan Hanjue inquired.

Ningwan: "..."

"No objections, what can I say? Great, she saved you? You’re really clever, bringing her back makes perfect sense." Ningwan sneered.

Turns out, Chen Tan did listen to her and didn’t tell Zhan Hanjue about her saving him.

But Zhan Hanjue, this idiot, actually believes it was Liu Shiyan who saved him.

Forget it, such an idiotic man, yesterday she might as well have been bitten by a dog.

"Alright, I just wanted to ask about this matter. Since you agreed, I’ll be leaving now." Zhan Hanjue stood up.

Ningwan hurriedly said, "Go, hurry up and leave, I still need to rest."

"Ningwan, do you really have nothing to tell me?" Zhan Hanjue asked again as he turned at the door.

Ningwan snorted, "No, I want to rest now, so please leave."

Zhan Hanjue’s eyes deepened, he opened the door and left.

As soon as he left, Wu Taotao pushed the door open and poked half her head in.

"Ningning, are you awake? Can we chat for a bit?"

"Come in!" Ningwan said.

Wu Taotao smiled and slipped inside when she opened the door.

She was still in her pajamas, when Zhan Hanjue knocked on the door early in the morning, she didn’t even have time to change.

Jumping into Ningwan’s bed, Wu Taotao pulled half of the blanket over herself.

"What did Zhan Hanjue come talk to you about?" Wu Taotao asked.

Ningwan snorted, "He came to tell me that Liu Shiyan saved him yesterday. So, to thank Liu Shiyan, he’s planning to bring her to the Zhan Family, and asked if I agree."

"What? He actually mistook Liu Shiyan for the one who saved him? Why didn’t you explain it to him?" Wu Taotao exclaimed.

Ningwan looked at her and asked, "Explain what? Tell him that the person who slept with him last night was me?"

Wu Taotao: "..."

"That indeed is hard to speak of. But... you sacrificed so much, and someone else took advantage... won’t you feel wronged?"

Ningwan took a deep breath, calmly analyzing, "I told Chen Tan not to tell him the truth. However, Chen Tan won’t listen to me, and he wouldn’t be foolish enough to believe Liu Shiyan after she spoke a few words. Therefore, he must know the truth and is just pretending to be oblivious."

"Pretending to be oblivious? Why?" Wu Taotao frowned.

Ningwan snorted, "A man, after such an incident, pretends to be oblivious. Why do you think? He definitely doesn’t want to take responsibility."

"Scumbag, it’s too much," Wu Taotao scolded angrily.

Ningwan’s face also turned ugly.

Indeed a scumbag, not wanting to take responsibility, he even deliberately recognizes the wrong person for such a matter.

"But... Ningning, no matter what, you are the Young Madam of the Zhan Family; you are Zhan Hanjue’s legitimately married wife. Liu Shiyan moving in, isn’t it humiliating you? Even if Zhan Hanjue doesn’t want to take responsibility, you can’t let them off easily. You need to go back and assert your rightful position." Wu Taotao advised earnestly.

Ningwan’s eyes darkened, she immediately frowned and asked, "Wu Taotao, did you receive benefits from Zhan Hanjue?"

Wu Taotao’s face froze, thinking to herself, she is too clever, how can she always hit the nail on the head?

"It seems you did. Don’t lie to me, do you think I don’t know your temper since childhood? If you hadn’t received benefits from Zhan Hanjue, you wouldn’t be saying this." Ningwan snorted.

Wu Taotao leaned on Ningwan’s shoulder and said coquettishly, "Ningning, I’m sorry, it wasn’t my intention to sell you out. Really... Zhan Hanjue’s offer was irresistible. He brought over Shen Yuanyuan’s ’Home’ and said if I could persuade you to return home, he would give me the painting."

"Forget it, I wasn’t originally planning not to go back, I still have something to ask for his help, how can I not return." Ningwan sighed.

"Ningning, you’re too nice," Wu Taotao happily hugged her and kissed her.

Ningwan returned home in the morning.

Wu Taotao still had to go to school, staying alone here was boring.

Upon returning to the Zhan Family, Housekeeper Wu welcomed her and said, "Young Madam, you’re back. The Young Master told me to have you go to the study to see him as soon as you return."

"I’ll go change my clothes first, and then head over," Ningwan said.

Housekeeper Wu nodded.

Ningwan went to her room, changed clothes, and went to Zhan Hanjue’s study.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shiyan was there too.

Seeing Ningwan return, Liu Shiyan was a little surprised, then smiled and walked over to Zhan Hanjue’s side, saying to him, "Mr. Zhan, Madam Zhan is back."

"Miss Liu is here too? What a coincidence, a friend of mine really likes Miss Liu, knowing I know you, she has been asking me to get an autograph from Miss Liu. When would it be convenient, can you give me a signed picture?" Ningwan smiled and said.

Liu Shiyan replied, "No problem, I can sign it for you right away. Madam Zhan, I’ll be bothering the Zhan Family these days, Madam Zhan won’t be upset, right?"

"How could I be upset," Ningwan said, "I must thank Miss Liu for saving my husband, I’ve already instructed the servants to make soup for Miss Liu to help nourish you."

"Madam Zhan is really... magnanimous." Liu Shiyan said awkwardly.

Actually, regarding the situation between her and Zhan Hanjue, she herself is still confused.

Although Zhan Hanjue admitted they had a relation last night.

But she isn’t a naive girl, having first-time skin-to-skin with a man.

Since they had a relation, why did she wake up with only soreness and no other feeling?

Could it be that Zhan Hanjue is a Golden Needle Mushroom?

Or a quick shooter?

Ningwan smiled and said, "It’s only right, absolutely. In the future, I ask Miss Liu to take good care of my husband."

"You may leave now," Zhan Hanjue said to Liu Shiyan.

Liu Shiyan nodded, made a polite farewell to Ningwan, and left.

"Come here."

After Liu Shiyan left, Zhan Hanjue said to Ningwan again.

Ningwan obediently walked over and stood with a desk between them, "Why did you call me over? Is it to instruct me to take care of Miss Liu? Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of her. Don’t just say take care of her, if you ask me to step down, I won’t hesitate."

"You are quite magnanimous." Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly.
