CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 338: STILL LOST HER

Wu Taotao had no way to meet Leng Ziqing directly, as Mrs. Leng and Zhang Meimei kept a tight watch on him.

So, Wu Taotao could only contact Wei Hanzhang first, hoping he could pass a message to Leng Ziqing for her.

"Senior Brother Wei, I’m meeting him to ask about something else, unrelated to us. Please, you must tell him."

"Taotao, I..."

Wei Hanzhang was a bit troubled.

After all, he was now working at Leng Group, and his current position was all thanks to Leng Ziqing’s connections.

To be honest, he didn’t want to stir up trouble. He was aware of how wary Mrs. Leng was of Wu Taotao.

"Senior Brother Wei, is this difficult for you?" Wu Taotao asked.

"Taotao, it’s not about difficulty, just..."

"I’m sorry, Senior Brother Wei, I shouldn’t have asked without considering your position. I’ve troubled you with this, I’ll think of another way." Wu Taotao apologized.

Wei Hanzhang blushed and quickly said, "Taotao, don’t say that, I’ll do it. I was being selfish, not willing to help with even such a trivial matter, you’d be right to call me Brother for nothing."

"Senior Brother Wei, it’s okay, I understand your difficulties. I’ll figure it out myself, you don’t need to take risks for me." Wu Taotao sincerely said.

But Wei Hanzhang had already made a decision: "It’s just a message, I will deliver it to Ziqing. But Taotao, I still want to say, don’t be annoyed. Ziqing is married now, so..."

"I understand." Wu Taotao said with a bitter smile.

Wei Hanzhang quickly went to find Leng Ziqing and delivered Wu Taotao’s message.

When Leng Ziqing heard that Wu Taotao wanted to see him, he was instantly excited.

"She really wants to see me?"

"President Leng," Wei Hanzhang, seeing his excitement, couldn’t help but warn him: "Don’t get too excited, Taotao said she wants to see you to ask about some things. So, there’s no other intentions. Even if there were, you have to control yourself and not forget you’ve married and promised your mother not to disappoint Miss Zhang."

"Don’t mention that woman to me." Leng Ziqing said with a calm face.

Wei Hanzhang sighed and had to stop advising.

Through Wei Hanzhang’s arrangement, Leng Ziqing and Wu Taotao arranged to meet at a place.

Actually, it was just an inconspicuous park.

Leng Ziqing arrived, and Wu Taotao was sitting on a park bench reading a book.

Seeing him arrive, she stood up to greet him.

Leng Ziqing looked at Wu Taotao, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and felt a mix of emotions.

"You seem to have lost weight."

"I’m dieting recently." Wu Taotao explained.

Leng Ziqing felt as if a huge stone blocked his chest, with many things to say, yet none he could voice.

Wu Taotao said, "Actually, the reason I called you out today is to ask you about Zhan Hanjue. You should know what I want to ask."

"Are you in touch with Ye Ningwan?" Leng Ziqing quickly asked.

Wu Taotao said, "Answer my question, not ask me questions."

Leng Ziqing said seriously: "If you are in contact with Ye Ningwan, go back and tell her. Be sure to hide well, and leave Jiangcheng when necessary, the farther the better. Don’t let my cousin find her at any cost."

"Why?" Wu Taotao didn’t understand: "Zhan Hanjue loves Ningning so much, why hide from him? What’s wrong with him? Did someone tell him lies?"

"I’m not sure of the specifics," Leng Ziqing said: "But I spoke to him briefly, trying to discuss Ye Ningwan. When he heard Ye Ningwan’s name, he showed an expression of disgust, and it wasn’t feigned disgust."

"Is he being coerced?" Wu Taotao asked.

Leng Ziqing shook his head: "I know, you must suspect he’s being coerced by my mom, but that’s not it. When he came back, he was also cold towards my mom, and didn’t allow her to visit the Zhan Family. There’s no way he’s being threatened by her. However, I did hear rumors that... that he suspects Grandma fell into a coma because of Ye Ningwan, so he resents her for this."

"He’s crazy! How can he suspect Ningning like that?" Wu Taotao said angrily.

Leng Ziqing said: "Whatever the reason, the point is, he is no longer his former self. Get Ye Ningwan away quickly, otherwise, with my cousin’s ruthless ways, once he finds out her whereabouts, he will definitely not let her go."

"I understand, thank you for telling me all this." Wu Taotao said, frowning with gratitude.

Leng Ziqing looked at her, unable to suppress the ripples in his heart.

"Taotao, are you... doing okay?"

"Very well, can’t you see? I’ve lost weight, successfully dieted, haven’t I become even more beautiful? Leng Ziqing, I’m living well now, so you don’t need to feel guilty anymore. Live your life well, make sure to be happy, or I’ll mock you." Wu Taotao gave a brilliant smile.

But this smile stung Leng Ziqing’s eyes.

"Taotao, I don’t like Zhang Meimei, my marriage to her..."

"Leng Ziqing," Wu Taotao interrupted him, saying with cold eyes: "No matter why you married Zhang Meimei, whether for love or interest. But, you both married. The marriage certificate is yours, the wedding was attended by you, and the bride was the one you chose. So now, take your responsibility, regardless of like or dislike, the path you’ve chosen you must continue on."

"What if I don’t want to continue? What if I want to go back, would you still be waiting there for me?" Leng Ziqing asked, holding her hand.

Wu Taotao withdrew her hand, shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "I’m sorry, Senior Brother Leng, I won’t wait for you at the same place. I have already moved forward and stepped out of that circle. So, there’s no one waiting there anymore."

After speaking, Wu Taotao left.

Walked quickly, decisively.

Leng Ziqing watched her back, heartache so intense he couldn’t breathe.

He quickly took two steps, wanting to catch up with her.

However, at the corner, he saw someone waiting for her, who wrapped her shoulder intimately after she walked over.

Then, glanced at him smugly, and left with her.

His heart sank again.

He really... seemed to have lost his girl and could never get her back.

"How did the conversation go?" Ye Shao asked.

Originally, Wu Taotao intended to meet Leng Ziqing privately. Unexpectedly, Ye Shao somehow found out she had taken leave and came looking for her.

With no other option, Wu Taotao let him come along.

Upon hearing his question about the result, she told him everything Leng Ziqing said.

Ye Shao snorted coldly: "As expected, neither of those brothers is good, I used to think Zhan Hanjue was a good man and trusted him with my sister. Now it looks like I was too foolish."

"What to do, should we tell Ningning about this?" Wu Taotao asked.

Ye Shao said: "Of course we should tell her, otherwise she’ll remain in the dark."

"But how should we say it?" Wu Taotao was troubled.

Ye Shao said: "Let’s call her, go find her ourselves!"

"But many people are looking for her, what if we’re followed?" Wu Taotao worried.

Ye Shao said: "I have a way, first call my sister, then we’ll find a place to meet up."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Wu Taotao nodded.
