Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Record Him Next Time
Ningwan didn’t expect that after Zhan Hanjue got drunk, he would not only show such a cute contrast, but would also have a terrible memory, completely forgetting about yesterday’s events.
This won’t do.
Ningwan was anxious.
She quickly recounted what happened last night to him.
"Impossible, there’s no way I would act like that." Zhan Hanjue flatly denied.
Ningwan hastily said, "How could it be impossible? That’s exactly how you were last night. I really regret not recording it, otherwise, I’d have evidence to see how you would deny it."
"So, you have no evidence now, there’s no way I was like that last night." The man firmly denied once more.
Ningwan was exasperated.
She thought, just wait!
Next time I’ll get you drunk and record it to see if you’ll admit it.
"Sorry for worrying you yesterday." Zhan Hanjue suddenly apologized.
Ningwan knew he was referring to pushing her away yesterday.
"It’s fine, how do you feel now?"
The man gave a bitter smile, nodded, and said, "A bit better than yesterday."
"So, what exactly did Grandma say to you yesterday?" Ningwan asked curiously.
Zhan Hanjue shook his head and changed the subject: "You were at home all day yesterday?"
"No, I went to find Li Qingqing," Ningwan replied.
Zhan Hanjue frowned, about to speak.
Ningwan quickly explained, "I know, you’re definitely mad I went to see her without telling you. But don’t worry, I had bodyguards with me, and Wangyue was there too, how could anything happen? Moreover, I can take care of myself."
"Did you find out anything from her?" Zhan Hanjue asked.
Ningwan said, "I used itching powder to force her to give up Leng Linglong’s whereabouts. She said Bai Qishu took Leng Linglong away, most likely back home. So, I want to go to Bai Qishu’s hometown, He City."
"What? You want to go to Bai Qishu’s hometown? By yourself?" Zhan Hanjue furrowed his brow tightly.
Ningwan smiled and said, "If you’re willing to accompany me, I wouldn’t mind."
The man’s brow remained furrowed.
Ningwan said, "I know you’re busy and probably don’t have the time. So, I’ll take Wangyue and a few bodyguards. Don’t worry, it’ll be very safe, and I’ll bring Bai Linglong back."
"You don’t have to go in person; I can arrange for someone else to go."
"No, I have to go myself," Ningwan said. "If someone else goes, it might be difficult to complete this task and bring Leng Linglong back. She’s just a young girl, wandering around isn’t suitable; I need to bring her back quickly."
Zhan Hanjue’s brow furrowed.
He knew Ningwan was making a lot of sense. He felt guilty towards Leng Linglong and hoped for her safety.
But he was more worried about her safety.
"Rest assured, I’ll safely bring her back. Don’t you trust Wangyue’s strength? Besides, I’ll take a few more bodyguards, and I can also protect myself. Nothing will happen."
Ningwan walked up to him, reached out, and rubbed his face.
Hard as a rock, not very pleasant to touch.
But it was nice to feel nonetheless.
It felt really good to touch.
"Alright, I can’t leave now, but I’ll come find you once I’m done," the man finally nodded and agreed.
Ningwan was overjoyed, quickly bending down to give him a sweet kiss.
The man couldn’t help but smile slightly.
His ears turned slightly red.
Ningwan, being so close, saw it clearly and couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Could it be!
He’s... shy?
"Are you shy?"
Ningwan reached out and rubbed his ear.
Turns out, it was his weak spot. As soon as she touched it, he immediately flinched away.
"Don’t touch, it tickles."
"Ticklish? Then you’re sensitive! Weren’t you hoping for a little rub last night? Why not allow it today?" Ningwan asked with a laugh.
Zhan Hanjue, his ears flushed, immediately denied, "How could I let you touch? Don’t talk nonsense. Stop touching, it’s really ticklish. Don’t you have something to do? Go ahead and get busy."
"I have nothing on, I’m all free now. Let me touch for a bit, and I’ll leave."
Ningwan laughed as she reached out, deliberately aiming for his ear.
The man could only dodge with his face flushed.
He dared not be rough with her, and for a moment, was utterly flustered by her antics.
Ningwan found it addictive; the more he avoided her touches, the more she wanted to touch.
Zhan Hanjue was in a panic.
He had no choice but to grab both her hands, pressing her onto the desk, and with a flushed face, said, "Stop messing around, or I’m not going to be kind."
"How unkind?"
Ningwan raised an eyebrow, deliberately lifting one leg and resting it on his waist.
The man’s eyes turned red.
Seductive woman.
Without hesitation, he lowered his head to silence her nonstop chatter, wishing he could devour her whole.
However, just as their affection was blooming, an inopportune knock on the door interrupted.
"Boss, there’s an urgent matter."
Outside the door was Chen Tan’s voice.
Zhan Hanjue had no choice but to release Ningwan, hastily tidying his clothes, and put on a stern face, pretending to be serious.
Ningwan watched his antics, finding it amusing.
But she knew he had important business, and dared not delay him, so she informed him she was going to prepare for the trip. She straightened her clothes and exited with a composed demeanor.
Upon leaving, she ran into Chen Tan.
Chen Tan respectfully greeted, "Madam."
Ningwan solemnly replied with an "Mm" and went to find Wangyue.
Not sure what time this girl came back yesterday, still sleeping at this hour.
Ningwan knocked on the door for quite a while, but no amount of calling could wake her, so she had to find a reliable bodyguard first.
She instructed him to handle the ticket purchase, to get the tickets first.
He City is very far from here, driving is unrealistic.
So, she decided to fly.
Upon arrival, she would rent a car.
And soon, the driver booked a flight for the afternoon.
Ningwan wanted to leave early to prevent Zhan Hanjue from changing his mind.
So, after booking the tickets, she went inside to forcibly wake up Wangyue.
"What? Going to He City this afternoon?" Wangyue was surprised.
"Why, do you have plans?" Ningwan asked.
Wangyue pouted and said, "Of course, I still have plans. Young Master Yichen said he’s taking me for a late-night snack tonight. I didn’t finish yesterday; there are still lots to try."
"He seems to be very idle, having the time to take you out for late-night snacks all the time," Ningwan scoffed.
Wangyue pleaded, "Can we go tomorrow instead?"
"No, we’ve already booked the flight tickets. Besides, He City has more delicious food than Jiangcheng. You can take your time to eat slowly in Jiangcheng, but if you don’t go to He City now, you might not get another chance."
Upon hearing that He City also had lots of good food, Wangyue’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Alright, let’s leave right away. I’ll just tell Young Master Yichen to wait."
Ningwan smiled.
She thought to herself, that Qiao Yichen, liking such a foodie girl, must be hard work.
His overflowing affection, this little foodie is completely ignorant of it.
He’s basically just there to feed her.
However, since he won’t confess, she won’t tell Wangyue.
Some people’s feelings might never be spoken aloud in a lifetime.
Qiao Yichen is a deep-thinking person; if he doesn’t confess, he must have his reasons.
