CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 134: HE DISDAINS HER KINDNESS

Ningwan’s hospitalization quickly became known to many people.

She actually didn’t want to be hospitalized. As a Divine Doctor, being hospitalized for an injury could be quite embarrassing if it got out.

However, Zhan Hanjue looked at her with deep eyes: "Just try leaving the hospital."

Ningwan backed down.

She raised her hand with a sheepish smile: "Fine, I won’t leave the hospital. Staying here with food and drinks isn’t so bad either."

Zhan Hanjue called Wu over.

Ningwan hurriedly asked, "Why are you calling him? To investigate the incident where I was lured into the mountains?"

"You’re not entirely clueless." The man snorted coldly.

Ningwan said, "You don’t need to investigate. Even without checking, I know for sure it’s those three girls from the neighboring class. They’re just envious and jealous of me, so they came up with this nasty trick. Anyway, I’m fine, so just let it be. If you escalate the matter, they’ll end up being expelled."

"You care about others, yet you forget the injuries you suffered?" The man was disdainful of her kindness.

Ningwan sighed: "Of course, I haven’t forgotten my injuries, but just a small warning for them is enough. I’ll handle this myself. If you handle it, it’ll definitely get blown out of proportion. There aren’t many girls studying traditional Chinese medicine, and apart from those who truly love it, most come for free tuition and scholarships. People who come for those, their family conditions aren’t great. They made a mistake this time, just give them a warning. Why ruin their future?"

The man remained silent, face somber.

Wu arrived, and Zhan drove him away again.

Ningwan curled her lips and hooked his pinky finger with hers: "I knew it, you’re the best."

"Don’t ever participate in such activities again," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

"Okay, okay, I won’t, I won’t anymore," Ningwan agreed repeatedly.

"Knock knock knock."

Wu Taotao pushed the door open, sticking her head in with a grin: "Ningning, my brother and I came to see you."

Zhan Hanjue stood up and left, making room for them.

Ningwan contentedly watched his departing figure, tough on the outside but soft-hearted.

"Look at you, a social practice class, and you landed yourself in the hospital, how embarrassing," Wu Taotao sat down and teased.

Ningwan tossed an orange at her: "Peel it for me, you came to visit a patient, not to host a roast session."

"I’m just stating facts, but do you really need to be hospitalized?" Wu Taotao wondered.

Ningwan sighed: "I’m not staying at the hospital, I’m soothing a man’s fragile heart. No choice, he insisted I stay, so I have to humor him."

Wu Wei smirked from the side: "Ningwan, I look down on you."

"You’re a single dog, you’re in no position to look down on me," Ningwan immediately retorted, "Once you have a girlfriend, you’ll understand."

"Now that you’ve seen her, hurry up and leave! Don’t you have to work overtime today? You need to work hard to help me pay my tuition." Wu Taotao urged Wu Wei out.

Seeing Ningwan was fine, Wu Wei left relieved.

Wu Taotao curiously rested her chin and asked: "Have you confirmed whether you really like Zhan Hanjue? You even humor him. That’s not like you."

Ningwan coughed lightly: "Confirm what? He risked danger to find me, so what’s wrong with humoring him?"

Actually, she really was a bit sure about her feelings for him.

But it wasn’t confirmed by him coming to find her.

Rather, last night, in that life-death moment falling off the cliff, she thought of Zhan Hanjue.

If she died, what would happen to him?

The reputation of "Living Yama" might become permanent. Would he remarry?

Or, would he think of her, feeling sad for a long, long time?

Thinking like this, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. She didn’t want to die.

She wanted to live, to live for Zhan Hanjue.

"Stubborn mouth."

Wu Taotao didn’t believe her explanation.

"Right, how’s Jin Yingzi doing? When I call her she doesn’t answer, she should have returned from Lao Mountain by now!" Ningwan changed the topic.

Actually, after waking up, she tried to contact Jin Yingzi.

Mainly to remind her to be careful of those three girls in the dormitory.

But the calls went unanswered.

When she called the assistant teacher, the assistant teacher went to call Jin Yingzi but quickly returned to her saying awkwardly: "Jin Yingzi is busy and can’t answer the phone, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

She frowned upon hearing that. Didn’t want to answer her calls?

As expected, when she called again today, it was still unanswered.

Supposedly she had returned, yet hadn’t come to visit her, which was really strange.

"I saw her today; she came to me. If she hadn’t told me you were hospitalized, I wouldn’t have known. She asked me to visit you and tell her how you’re doing afterward. I asked her to come with me, but she refused and left quickly after speaking. It was really weird, what happened?" Wu Taotao was curious.

Ningwan said: "Maybe she feels guilty. Knowing I went into the mountains to find her, she doesn’t dare face me. If you see her, tell her I’m fine, so she doesn’t need to feel guilty. If it were her, I think she would make the same decision as I did."

"I see. Alright, I’ll talk to her when I return. Don’t worry, I’m good at persuading people. I’ll make sure she comes to see you today." Wu Taotao promised.

Ningwan chuckled softly.

Wu Taotao glanced at the time, quickly stood up, and said: "I’m not talking to you anymore, I have to go. I arranged with Senior Brother Leng to visit the children at the welfare home today. I can’t be late."

"Leng Ziqing also visits the children at the welfare home?" Ningwan frowned: "With a face that owes eight million, won’t he scare the kids to tears?"

"Senior Brother Leng is great with kids, it’s just you who’s biased against him." Wu Taotao retorted.

Ningwan said: "It’s not that I’m biased, it’s just facts. Every time he sees me, he looks like he’s facing deep hostility."

"That’s towards you, he’s not like that with me. Not talking to you anymore, I’m off to my date with Senior Brother Leng."

Wu Taotao happily left.

Ningwan shook her head. This girl, seems like she’s fallen for him.

Forget it, since she’s so happy now, why spoil her fun.

Take it one step at a time; we’ll talk about it when the time comes!

"I want to go for a walk."

After lying in the ward for half a day, Ningwan wanted to go for a walk.

She was injured, but she didn’t have any broken bones, staying in bed all the time wasn’t ideal.

The caregiver showed a troubled expression: "Mr. Zhan instructed that you should rest well."

"If I keep lying down, I’ll rot," Ningwan exclaimed.

"Alright, I’ll consult Mr. Zhan," the caregiver called to consult Zhan Hanjue.

No matter how reasonable Ningwan’s reasons were, she didn’t dare make decisions on her own.

"Take her out for a stroll," the man agreed.

"Yes."

The caregiver hung up and smiled at Ningwan: "Madam Zhan, Mr. Zhan agreed."

Ningwan was overjoyed and quickly had the caregiver take her out.

The caregiver pushed her outside, and Ningwan suddenly wanted a drink of water, so she had the caregiver go back to the ward to get it.

Just as the caregiver left, an uncommonly charismatic middle-aged man approached.

He stood in front of Ningwan and gazed at her, his expression strange.
