CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: LIPS BITTEN

EDITOR: HENYEE TRANSLATIONS

"Hey, I haven’t even decided to leave yet. What gives you the right to decide for me?"

Ningwan angrily questioned Zhan Hanjue after being pushed into the car by him.

Zhan Hanjue closed the car door with a stern face and ordered the driver, "Drive."

The car started moving. Zhan Hanjue pressed something that separated the front and back, turning the back into an independent space.

Ningwan’s face showed panic as she subconsciously retreated, retreating until she couldn’t go any further.

"Zhan Hanjue, what do you want to do?"

"Ningwan, haven’t you recognized your own identity yet?" Zhan Hanjue looked at her with deep eyes.

"Identity? Zhan Hanjue, you deceived me. I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and now you want to hold a grudge against me? I hid my identity as Bai Zhi from you, but you also lied to me about your eye condition. Moreover, no matter what, I helped cure your eyes, and this is how you treat your benefactor?" Ningwan challenged aggressively.

"Why did you deliberately get close to Lin Yuyang? What do you want from him? And why did you deliberately get close to Leng Ziqing? What do you want from him?" Zhan Hanjue reached out, pinched her cheek, and stared at her with deep eyes.

"It’s none of your business." Ningwan unhappily shook off his hand.

But in the next second, she fell completely into Zhan Hanjue’s arms.

Zhan Hanjue forcibly held her slender waist and pulled her towards his chest. The hard chest hurt her.

"Zhan Hanjue, you..."

Ningwan cursed in anger, but before she could finish, Zhan Hanjue blocked her mouth.

Ningwan widened her eyes, staring at him incredulously.

For the first time, she truly saw his pupils, deep and clear, brighter than many people’s eyes. Like a ray of light penetrating the soul, where all the shadows had nowhere to hide.

But soon, the pain on her lips brought her back to reality.

Angrily pushing his chest and with a forceful shove, she raised her hand to slap his face.

However, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her wrist calmly and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to hit me?"

"Bastard, hooligan, if I don’t hit you, should I keep you for the New Year?" Ningwan trembled in anger.

This bastard kissed her forcibly and even bit her.

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her lips, and sure enough, it was bleeding.

"This is your punishment," Zhan Hanjue said with deep eyes.

Ningwan widened her eyes.

Is there no justice?

He deceived her, and after curing his eyes, he didn’t even kneel down to thank her but instead punished her?

"Bastard."

Enough is enough, Ningwan raised her other hand in anger to hit him.

But again, this hand was caught by Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue pressed her down on the seat, looking at her burning expression, and spoke in a low voice, "If you want to investigate the cause of your parents’ death, I can help you. You don’t need to deliberately get close to anyone anymore. If you agree, you will soon know the results. If you don’t agree..."

"What if I don’t agree?" Ningwan asked.

"Leave me and never appear in front of me again," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Ningwan was startled, then smiled happily, "Really? That’s great. I don’t agree, hurry and let me leave."

Anyway, she had already gathered a lot of information, staying with him any longer would be dangerous, like seeking skin with a tiger.

"Do you really want to leave me?" Zhan Hanjue’s face turned cold, showing anger.

Ningwan said, "You let me choose, I choose the second one. What, you don’t mean what you say and plan to go back on your word?"

"Fine, I agree with you, but don’t regret it," Zhan Hanjue said with a stern face and released her with a cold tone.

Ningwan rubbed her wrist, "Don’t worry, I won’t regret it."

The car drove into the Zhan Family estate.

Ningwan opened the door and got out first. Once inside, she started packing her things.

Mrs. Chen heard she was packing to leave and quickly called Old Mrs. Zhan over.

Ningwan couldn’t help but feel reluctant to leave the old lady, as she had been really good to her.

"Ningwan, did Hanjue bully you? Tell Grandma, and I’ll teach him a lesson," Old Mrs. Zhan asked urgently.

Ningwan’s nose tingled. She reached out and gave her a hug, "Grandma, thank you for taking care of me these days. From now on, I can’t stay in the Zhan Family anymore, please take care of your health. Remember to keep using the medicinal meals I gave to Mrs. Chen, so you can live to be a hundred."

"Ningwan, you can’t leave. Hanjue, how did you bully Ningwan, quickly apologize to her," Old Mrs. Zhan urged anxiously.

Zhan Hanjue walked in with an indifferent expression, "Grandma, let her go. She never wanted to stay in the Zhan Family, why force her?"

Old Mrs. Zhan’s eyes filled with tears.

After bidding farewell to Old Mrs. Zhan with a forced smile, Ningwan pulled her suitcase and left.

She left determinedly, without a trace of nostalgia, not even turning back.

"Hanjue, what are you trying to do? Such a good daughter-in-law you don’t want, are you still not forgetting that..."

"Grandma, it has nothing to do with others," Zhan Hanjue interrupted her.

Old Mrs. Zhan weeped, "Then why did you let her go? What will you do when she’s gone, what about my great-grandchild?"

"Don’t worry, she will come back sooner or later," Zhan Hanjue looked deeply in the direction Ningwan left.

Old Mrs. Zhan was taken aback, looking at him in surprise.

Mrs. Chen quickly comforted her, "Old lady, don’t worry about it. Let the young couple settle their own matters."

Old Mrs. Zhan sighed and reproached Zhan Hanjue, "I don’t care what you’re planning, you must get Ningwan back for me. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you."

After saying this, she had Mrs. Chen help her sadly back to her room.

After leaving the Zhan Family, Ningwan let out a deep breath.

Although things hadn’t gone as she expected, overall they went smoothly.

She would investigate her parents’ death herself and didn’t need his help.

With clues from Lin Yuyang and the Leng Family, was she afraid she couldn’t find out?

"Ningning, why are you here?" Wu Taotao asked in surprise when he opened the door and saw Ningwan standing at the entrance with a suitcase.

Ningwan said, "I’ve moved out of the Zhan Family, Taotao, can I stay with you from now on?"

"Really, you moved out of the Zhan Family?" Wu Wei jumped out, looking excited.

Ningwan nodded but quickly added, "I’m here to find Taotao, it has nothing to do with you."

"But this is a two-bedroom, one living room apartment, Taotao and I live here," Wu Wei said.

Ningwan handed him a card, "There’s money on the card, go stay in a hotel tonight, and in the next couple of days, look for a three-bedroom, two living room apartment to rent."

Wu Wei: "..."

"I don’t want your money, I have money."

"If you don’t want it, you can move out yourself. I’m staying here with Taotao, we’ll split the rent."

Wu Wei sighed, knowing her stubborn personality, he reluctantly accepted the card.

"Ningning, why did you move out? Did you have a falling out with Zhan Hanjue?" Wu Taotao asked curiously while helping Ningwan bring the luggage inside.

Ningwan nodded, "We had a falling out, but it’s good. Once I figure some things out, I can go back to the countryside with you."
