Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Effeminate Looking
Zhan Hanjue woke up and saw Ye Ningwan sitting by the bed, recalling what happened before he fell unconscious.
"Ningning, are you alright?"
He asked anxiously.
Ye Ningwan was scrolling through a group chat on her phone when she suddenly heard Zhan Hanjue’s voice and quickly looked up at him.
"You’re awake? Hurry up and eat this."
She immediately took out an antidote pill and put one in his mouth.
After Zhan Hanjue swallowed it, he asked, "What did you give me?"
Ye Ningwan mocked, "You ate it without even knowing what it was. With such negligence, how could you not get poisoned by someone else?"
"I wouldn’t eat what others give me, but I would eat what you give me." Zhan Hanjue looked at her with deep eyes.
Ye Ningwan pursed her lips, a faint smile appearing at the corners.
"Alright, enough sweet talk, this is an antidote pill. Although it can’t cure the poison in you, it can make you feel better."
"Thank you!"
"Why so polite with me? Jin Yingzi risked her life to save you, yet you didn’t thank her. Is it that your relationship with her is closer than with me?" Ye Ningwan sneered.
Zhan Hanjue smiled bitterly, "She and I are just a matter of exchanging interests."
"Yes, it has already reached the point of sharing life-threatening friendships." Ye Ningwan sneered.
"Ningning, are you jealous?"
The man looked at her angry face, reached out and stroked the back of her hand gently.
Ye Ningwan shook off his hand, and said proudly, "I’m not jealous, I’m angry. You ignored me, the professional, and instead got help from a non-professional."
"They came for you, I was afraid you’d be in danger," the man said softly.
Ye Ningwan snorted, "You’re worrying for nothing. Are you doubting my abilities? So what if they’re after me? Soldiers will deal with the soldiers, water with earth, do you think I’m afraid of them?"
The man was left speechless, and could only watch her silently.
After a while, Ye Ningwan sighed softly and asked in a low voice, "Who exactly poisoned you?"
"They said the surname is Bai," the man replied.
Ye Ningwan frowned.
Bai Family?
She knew and had met people from the Bai Family before.
The Bai Family was good at making poisons, but that was many years ago.
Later, the Bai Family went into business. Her master found a direct line of the Bai Family and suggested destroying the Chasing Silk formula.
The Bai Family didn’t hesitate and destroyed it.
What does this mean now?
Was her master deceived back then?
Even if her master was deceived, what does it have to do with her?
"Is there any contact information, since they came for me, I need to know what they want," Ye Ningwan asked.
Zhan Hanjue shook his head, "No, they poisoned me when I was unaware. After I was poisoned, they came over, but I was already unconscious. Wu met him, and only said his surname is Bai, nothing else was mentioned. Oh, and he told Wu to find you, to save me, only you can save me."
"Then you shouldn’t have let Wu find me," Ye Ningwan quickly said upon hearing this.
The man said, "When he said that, I knew when I woke up, it was aimed at you. How could I easily get you involved, what if it harmed you? Thankfully, Jin Yingzi understood the antidote method that person gave, so we made a deal. I helped her bring her family out, and she helped me detoxify."
"Fool."
Ye Ningwan didn’t know what else to say, so she could only scold angrily and helplessly.
At this time, there was a "knock, knock, knock" on the door.
The sound was loud and urgent, it was clear how anxious the person outside was.
Wu went to open the door, and Xie Mingyu burst in with people.
"Who are you people?" Wu questioned loudly.
Xie Mingyu shouted angrily, "Where is Ye Ningwan?"
Ye Ningwan stood up upon hearing the voice.
Zhan Hanjue also struggled to get up, but was pressed down by Ye Ningwan.
"Don’t move around, I’ll handle what’s outside."
After finishing, she went out and closed the door behind her.
"Xie Mingyu, what are you crazy about?" Ye Ningwan questioned.
Seeing her, Xie Mingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still looked unpleasant as he said, "What am I crazy about? You’re my person, and you left the party before it was over. Don’t I have a reason to look for you?"
"That’s your party, you’re there, does it matter if I’m there or not?" Ye Ningwan said.
Xie Mingyu glanced at the tightly closed door and questioned, "Zhan Hanjue is inside?"
Ye Ningwan remained silent.
Xie Mingyu mocked, "What, caught in the act, hiding inside not daring to come out? A grown man, hiding and letting you deal with it, what a manly act."
"Hey, don’t talk nonsense, no matter what our boss is, he’s more of a man than you, looking all effeminate, like a girl, yet you have the nerve to say others aren’t manly."
Wu couldn’t stand it and immediately mocked Xie Mingyu.
Xie Mingyu’s eyes flickered, and he gave a signal.
Wangyue understood, said sorry to Ye Ningwan.
Then went up and started fighting with Wu.
Wu wasn’t to be outdone, and the two were at a stalemate for a while.
However, Wangyue’s meals weren’t for nothing.
The battle strength was the strongest among the four female assistants, and soon Wu was at a disadvantage, kicked down by Wangyue.
"You girl, did you eat power pills?"
Wu clutched his aching chest, couldn’t help but complain.
Wangyue proudly wiped her nose, "I ate spinach."
Wu frowned, wasn’t able to catch her pop culture reference.
"Tch, no fun," Wangyue sneered, then asked Xie Mingyu, "Young master, should I continue?"
"These eyes can’t even distinguish gender, even if you get them it’s useless, fight," Xie Mingyu ordered.
"Alright," Ye Ningwan spoke up, "Xie Mingyu, stop this nonsense."
"Come back with me, and I’ll stop," Xie Mingyu said.
At that moment, the door inside finally opened.
The man’s body was still very weak, almost leaning against the door as he came out.
Pale-faced, he looked at Ye Ningwan with deep eyes.
"Don’t go with him, come back home with me."
"No wonder, so you’re sick," Xie Mingyu snorted a laugh.
Seeing Zhan Hanjue in this state, he knew at a glance he was ill.
Such physical weakness and pale complexion, he had lived like this for over twenty years, no one knew better than him.
"Zhan Hanjue, go back and rest. I will find a way to save you, but I can’t go with you. Think about your grandma, can I go back with you?" Ye Ningwan said with a bitter smile.
The man clenched his fists, looking at her with even deeper eyes.
"Take good care of him, I’ll contact you if anything happens," Ye Ningwan said to Wu.
After that, she told Xie Mingyu, "Let’s go!"
Xie Mingyu smirked and left with her and his people.
Zhan Hanjue’s body swayed, almost falling.
Wu struggled to get up from the ground and went to support him.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Zhan Hanjue shook his head.
Wu frowned deeply, "Boss, why don’t you tell the madam about the promise you made to your grandmother? If not for trying to fulfill her instructions, you wouldn’t have been schemed against. And your doing so was all for the madam."
"She doesn’t need to know," Zhan Hanjue said weakly.
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and let Wu support him back.
