CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 253: BLOCKED AT THE CITY GATE

Feng Jiuzun raised an eyebrow, "You want the thousand-year-old Tai Sui?"

"Of course, I went to the auction just for the thousand-year-old Tai Sui," Ye Ningwan said.

Feng Jiuzun said, "If I had known you wanted it, I would have bought it for you as a gift."

"I would definitely be very happy," Ye Ningwan said with a smile.

"Really?"

Feng Jiuzun was surprised, then showed a frustrated expression.

It seemed he regretted not buying it. Otherwise, showing it to Ye Ningwan now would make her very happy.

"Can you not buy it back now?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Feng Jiuzun said, "No, it was bought by the Wan Family, how can I buy it back? The Wan Family isn’t short of money."

Ye Ningwan frowned, as expected it’s the Wan Family again.

Did she commit a major offense against this Wan Family?

Why is it always the Wan Family spoiling her plans?

"Really no other way to get it back?" Ye Ningwan asked again.

"No way, besides, knowing you want it, they won’t give it to you. Last time, you made Li Qingqing suffer so much, the Wan Family holds a grudge against you," Feng Jiuzun said.

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow, "So, who is Li Qingqing to the Wan Family, an illegitimate daughter?"

"I don’t know, but they’re especially nice to her."

"How do you know they’re especially nice to her, are you familiar with Li Qingqing too?" Ye Ningwan asked suspiciously.

Feng Jiuzun was startled, seemingly realizing he said something he shouldn’t have.

He cleared his throat and said, "Not very familiar, just know her. After all, she’s a big star, who doesn’t know her?"

"Yes, a female celebrity, rich heirs all like female celebrities," Ye Ningwan said with a faint smile.

Feng Jiuzun hurriedly said, "Not me, I only like you."

"Enough, don’t swear to me, even someone like Zhan Hanjue can be enamored by Li Qingqing’s charms, let alone you? I don’t believe a word you men say," Ye Ningwan said arrogantly, with a pout.

Feng Jiuzun urgently swore, "I really didn’t lie to you. How could I be like Zhan Hanjue? I have absolutely no interest in that Li Qingqing. A femme fatale like her, I’m scared to even touch. If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning..."

"Alright, stop swearing in front of me, I believe you," Ye Ningwan interrupted impatiently.

Feng Jiuzun was overjoyed.

In his eyes, Ye Ningwan interrupting him showed she truly loved him.

He couldn’t help but get more excited and grasped Ye Ningwan’s hand, saying excitedly, "Ningning, don’t worry, I will never let you down like Zhan Hanjue."

Ye Ningwan quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp.

Thinking to herself, Zhan Hanjue didn’t let me down.

She had found out all she needed to know.

Ye Ningwan went upstairs to rest, warning Feng Jiuzun not to follow.

"You better keep it in mind, I’m not an easy woman," Ye Ningwan warned.

Feng Jiuzun immediately said, "Of course, I know. Rest assured, I like you so much, I will definitely respect you. Without your consent, I would never act rashly."

Ye Ningwan raised an arrogant eyebrow and went upstairs to rest.

The next morning, she set off early to return to Jiangcheng.

Only then did Ye Ningwan realize that they had actually left Tong City long ago and were staying at a nearby location.

No wonder Zhan Hanjue and Xie Mingyu hadn’t found her in one day.

If it were only Zhan Hanjue, it wouldn’t matter, but Tong City is the Xie Family’s territory, it made no sense that the Xie Family couldn’t find her.

"Don’t worry, once we’re at my house, I’ll protect you, won’t let anyone bully you. If my grandfather or others say anything unpleasant, don’t get mad. They’re old, don’t take it to heart," Feng Jiuzun constantly comforted Ye Ningwan on the way.

Ye Ningwan nodded indifferently, thinking, what does it matter if your family likes me or not?

You really are overthinking it.

Finally, after a few hours, the car returned to Jiangcheng.

But just as they entered the city, the car was stopped by the police.

The driver had no choice but to stop.

Feng Jiuzun frowned, angrily asked, "What’s going on?"

The driver said, "I don’t know, the police stopped the car, Young Master Feng, we can’t not stop."

Feng Jiuzun furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of unease.

But at this point, there was no other way, so he let the driver get out and handle the situation.

As soon as the driver got out, he was apprehended by the police.

Feng Jiuzun had no choice but to get out himself and shouted angrily at the police, "Do you know who I am to dare stop my car?"

"It’s your car we stopped," Wu stepped out.

Feng Jiuzun was shocked.

The car door was opened, and Zhan Hanjue appeared from nowhere, reaching out to Ye Ningwan, "Wanwan, I’m late."

Ye Ningwan curled her lips and got out of the car.

"Not late, just in time."

She hadn’t entered the Feng Family yet, didn’t have to listen to the scoldings of the Feng Family elders.

Otherwise, she really wasn’t sure she’d listen just because they’re old.

"Ye Ningwan, you said you wanted to be with me," Feng Jiuzun turned around and shouted angrily at Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan said, "I lied to you, couldn’t you tell? Feng Jiuzun, you’re somewhat smart, how are you so stupid about this?"

"I’m stupid? You say I’m stupid? Wasn’t it because I like you?" Feng Jiuzun shouted angrily.

He gambled, thinking Ye Ningwan also liked him, but lost miserably.

"Wu, take him away."

"Hold on."

Zhan Hanjue ordered someone to take Feng Jiuzun away, but was stopped by Feng Huai.

Feng Huai brought people over, surrounding Feng Jiuzun.

Unlike Wu who surrounded Feng Jiuzun, he was protecting Feng Jiuzun.

"Second Uncle."

"Don’t call me Second Uncle, you’re an idiot," Feng Huai scolded angrily.

Zhan Hanjue looked at Feng Huai, "Mr. Feng, shouldn’t the Feng Family give me an explanation for Feng Jiuzun’s behavior?"

Feng Huai said, "Mr. Zhan, I understand, this was Jiuzun’s fault. However, if it weren’t for me informing you, you wouldn’t have found them so quickly. The Feng Family has already turned the tide, shouldn’t need to explain further to Mr. Zhan! Besides, you and Miss Ye are already divorced, everyone knows, she’s single, Jiuzun is not engaged, whatever happens between them is their personal matter. It takes two to tango, this shouldn’t entirely be Jiuzun’s fault. How about, Mr. Zhan, have a chat with Miss Ye first."

"Now I understand why Mr. Feng isn’t married," Ye Ningwan said with a smile.

Feng Huai looked at her.

Ye Ningwan smiled and said, "With Mr. Feng’s ability to distort facts, what woman dares to marry you."

Feng Huai: "..."

"I don’t marry because I don’t want to, not because no women dare to marry me. What do you know, little kid. Don’t you know, back in the day, I was all the rage in Jiangcheng..."

"Second Uncle, stop bragging," Feng Jiuzun said angrily.

Is this the time to brag?

"Where am I bragging, I’m speaking the truth," Feng Huai said.

Ye Ningwan smiled without speaking, seemingly not believing his truth.

However, she told Zhan Hanjue, "Forget it, let him take Feng Jiuzun away! After all, he’s been quite nice to me these past two days."

Feng Jiuzun looked at her in shock.

He hadn’t expected that she’d also acknowledge he was quite nice.
