CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 239: REFUSAL TO ADMIT TILL DEATH

"Tong Xi! I’ll say it again, I accidentally got injured, I didn’t slash my wrist to commit suicide!"

Ji Wei’s lungs were about to explode. She had no idea who she offended in a past life, leading to such bad luck in this life with Tong Xi being so merciless with her words. Life and death, just tossed around lightly by her like that.

"Get out!" Xiao Liu reached out to grab her wrist, but was immediately twisted back by her, causing Xiao Liu to grimace in pain. Tong Xi grinned: "Want to fight with me? Don’t say it’s just you, even if it’s the two of you together, you wouldn’t be a match. So don’t provoke me, and definitely don’t provoke Wen Nuan. Oh no, I should say, don’t provoke our President’s Wife."

Tong Xi deliberately dragged out her tone, enunciating each word slowly, watching Ji Wei’s face turn from white to red with anger, finally feeling a sense of relief.

"When have I ever provoked her? Ridiculous!" Ji Wei looked at her with disgust, forcefully helping Xiao Liu to break free.

To hell with the President’s Wife, Wen Nuan won’t hold that title for long.

She was even more furious that Leng Yan announced in front of so many people that Wen Nuan was his wife, inviting countless glares and ridicule her way.

"How did you not provoke her? Hmph! What about yesterday’s incident when you fell in water? Ji Wei, I clearly saw you can swim!" Remembering yesterday’s incident where Ji Wei wanted Leng Yan to give her artificial respiration, Tong Xi’s anger flared up.

She coldly glanced at Ji Wei: "No wonder you’re an actress, no wonder you’re the Queen of Heaven, your acting skills are really great. Making Leng Yan give you artificial respiration right in front of Wen Nuan, I spit on that! Trying to get the President to kiss you in disguise, what a dream!"

"You can fool with food but not with words. I actually can’t swim, you must have made a mistake. Also, my wrist was just accidentally scratched, don’t go spreading nonsense!"

"Whether the wrist was cut, I don’t know. After all, knowing someone as greedy as you, even if it was cut, it’s fake. I have no desire to know. But the swimming part, I definitely didn’t see wrong. You went with Xiao Liu, I saw it clearly."

"It’s not, Sister Ji, you saw wrong, that was a friend of mine!" Xiao Liu, seeing Ji Wei giving her a look, quickly said.

Yesterday, the two of them had agreed, no matter what, her ability to swim couldn’t be spread around. If Leng Yan found out, everything she did would go to waste, and the trust she painstakingly built in Leng Yan’s mind would all turn to zero.

No, it would turn into a negative!

Leng Yan would, because of this, push her away once again. Then, the seat of Madam Leng would indeed be her greatest regret. She absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!

Wen Nuan’s car was parked right in front of the restaurant, a few spaces away from Tan Qing’s. After seeing Qu Min get out of the car and give the tire a hard kick before leaving, she mustered up the courage to say she was married.

"Married?"

Lin Xue’s mouth could fit an egg in it, and to verify she wasn’t dreaming, she even pinched her own thigh, wincing in pain, finally waking from her stupor.

Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I am married. So, I always said I and Tan Qing couldn’t possibly be together."

"But you..." Lin Xue was still somewhat incredulous, scrutinizing Wen Nuan’s face: "Nuannuan, you’re only twenty."

"Yeah, only twenty." Wen Nuan bit her lip, then suddenly shook her head: "To be precise, in three days after my birthday, I’ll be twenty."

At such a wonderful age, girls would still be acting coy with their parents. But she had already become an adult in every sense.

If it weren’t for Leng Yan, she might always lament why her youth was to be spent within the confines of marriage. But precisely because it was Leng Yan, she no longer dwelled on the age issue. She even thanked the heavens for the beautiful gift bestowed upon her.

But now...

All that beauty was soon to be taken back from her. She felt like she had been dreaming, and when she woke up, the beauty... shattered...

"Nuannuan, who is your husband?" After a long pause of shock, Lin Xue realized she had forgotten to ask a very important question.

Nuannuan looked into her eyes: "Master, I’ve already said, the level of your shock won’t be any less than when you learned I was married, I just ask that you don’t scream."

"Oh my god, it can’t be someone from the underworld, right?" Lin Xue’s face turned a bit pale: "Were you forced to marry?"
