CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: WOUNDED A MAN’S HEART

Wu Taotao lent her phone to Ningwan, but surprisingly, it couldn’t get through either.

"Forget it, I should just go to his company," Ningwan had to make up her mind.

"Then let’s hurry up and go!" Wu Taotao said.

Ningwan sighed, "I can’t go."

"Why?" Wu Taotao was puzzled.

Ningwan called Wangyue in.

Cute little Wangyue, with a lollipop in her mouth, hopped in cheerfully and asked with a smile, "Miss Ye, have you decided? When are you leaving?"

"I’ll leave in the afternoon, but I want to buy a little gift for your young master. Wait a moment, I want to go shopping," Ningwan replied.

Wangyue pouted, "Miss Ye, you wouldn’t be planning to run away, would you? You can’t do that, Tingyu and I treat you so well. The young master told us to take care of you. If you run away, the young master will sell us to Cambodia, can you bear that?"

As she spoke, Wangyue started to shed tears.

She was young and cute, and this crying would melt even a heart of stone.

Not to mention, Ningwan wasn’t a person with a heart of stone.

"Stop crying, you’re a grown-up, why do you cry so easily? I didn’t say I was going to run away, I just want to buy a gift for your young master. He likes me, and he’ll be happy with a gift. Don’t you want him to be happy?"

"Of course not, alright, Miss Ye, I trust you. But Sister Tingyu and I have to go with you, just in case," Wangyue said.

Ningwan nodded, "Okay, you go out first, I’ll change clothes."

Wangyue nodded and went to find Tingyu to arrange the outing.

"You see? I can’t do anything without being watched. One plays the bad cop, the other the good one. If I said I was going to see Zhan Hanjue, Tingyu would knock me out and take me back to Tong City overnight," Ningwan sighed helplessly.

Wu Taotao was puzzled, "You could just knock a few people out, won’t that let you run away? Can’t you leave then?"

"If it were that simple, but our Ye Shao is about to take the college entrance exam, and I’m counting on the Xie Family to help me with this. If I knock them out and run, what about Ye Shao? That Xie Mingyu seems innocent and harmless, but he’s perceptive. He already hinted yesterday that I should obediently go back, otherwise, Ye Shao would be in trouble."

Wu Taotao shook her head and sighed, "You are really unlucky, getting into this kind of mess. Didn’t you save that Xie Mingyu’s life? This is classic ingratitude, repaying kindness with betrayal."

"Yes, I reproached him, but he said he wanted to repay by marrying me, and I couldn’t refuse. Ah, being too charming is also a sin," Ningwan sighed and shook her head.

Wu Taotao immediately mimicked a vomiting gesture.

But back to the point, Wu Taotao smiled and said, "No wonder you called me over; I dare claim to be second to none when it comes to escaping. Don’t worry, I’ll have you out in no time."

"I knew you’d have a way, that’s why I asked you to come," Ningwan smiled faintly.

As Wu Taotao requested, she let Wangyue in again and said she changed her mind and would buy online instead.

Wangyue sighed with relief, "Yes, yes, online shopping is so convenient now. Whatever you want, same-day delivery is readily available. Miss Ye, you choose, and I’ll help you pick."

"Taotao and I will choose together, you can leave first. Don’t come in unless I call you," Ningwan said.

Wangyue nodded and left immediately.

However, people were arranged at the door to ensure Ningwan couldn’t leave.

But, they were not prohibited from receiving visitors.

Wu Taotao ordered a lot of takeaways, one after another.

Finally, there was an order delivered by a female delivery person.

Wu Taotao urged Ningwan to quickly change clothes with the female delivery person, directly giving her five thousand yuan as her fee for the day.

Five thousand, enough for half a month’s work.

Never mind changing clothes with Ningwan, pretending to be her, she’d even scavenge if asked.

Sure enough, with a helmet on her head, the guards at the door didn’t suspect a thing.

Ningwan carried the delivery box and strolled out nonchalantly.

However, leaving the hotel, getting into Zhan Hanjue’s company was another hurdle.

His company was hard to enter, and without an appointment, one cannot get in.

She didn’t know if with her current identity, she could get in.

If she announced her name, would Old Mrs. Zhan find out?

To ensure safety, she stayed at the entrance of Zhan Group and finally spotted Chen Tan.

"Chen Tan."

"I didn’t order takeaway."

Ningwan was still in delivery attire, so Chen Tan thought she was a delivery person.

"It’s me."

Ningwan removed her helmet.

Chen Tan’s eyes widened, "Madam?"

Hearing this long-lost address warmed Ningwan’s heart instantly.

"Chen Tan, I want to ask a favor, take me inside to meet your boss. I have something to say to him, last time I only said half of it. He asked me to come to find him."

Ningwan was afraid Chen Tan wouldn’t agree and told a lie.

However, Chen Tan saw through it at once.

"Madam, if the boss asked you to come to see him, you wouldn’t be unable to get in now."

Ningwan felt awkward, "Unbearable truth."

Chen Tan nodded, smiling, "I can help with that, but madam must promise me one thing."

"I’ll do my best to if it’s within my capability."

"Since madam left, our boss’s mood has never improved, as his longest-serving assistant beside him, I’ve been living in dire straits every day. So, madam, when you see the boss, you must coax him well and restore him to his former self."

"Is he... in a bad mood?" Ningwan asked softly.

"What do you think?" Chen Tan sighed, "From the start, he knew the entanglements with you. He struggled and was confused about how to treat you. Finally, he resolved his inner conflict, accepted your presence. Then, your affairs were revealed again, and Old Mrs. Zhan disapproved. You suddenly disappeared as if you never cared about him, how could he be in a good mood?"

Ningwan lowered her eyes and said softly, "I had an urgent matter then, plus... I thought he didn’t want to see me either."

"So you left without a word, and vanished so mysteriously, how could we find you?"

"You were looking for me?"

"Almost turned China upside down, the boss even resorted to... resorted to scandals, engaged just to draw you out. Yet, you were heartless enough to remain silent on hearing such news. Our boss even once thought you were no longer alive."

Ningwan: "..."

"Finally, when we found you, we learned you were treating a man’s illness. Using all rare herbs to nourish him, even as his fiancée. Do you think our boss would be happy? Having stayed by the boss’s side for so many years, I’ve never seen him show such sadness before."

"Chen Tan, stop saying anymore, the more you say, the guiltier I feel."
