Chapter 180: Chapter 180: The Low Growl in the Room
Ye Ningwan asked Wangyue to investigate Zhan Hanjue.
Wangyue was very reluctant.
What’s wrong with our young master? Why does Miss Ye keep thinking about Zhan Hanjue?
However, Ye Ningwan’s instructions couldn’t be disobeyed, so she had to go investigate where Zhan Hanjue was staying.
With so many people coming with Zhan Hanjue, it was easy to find out.
Just a call to the best hotels in Tong City quickly revealed the information.
Upon learning where he was staying, Ye Ningwan immediately rushed over.
"Miss Ye, do you really not like our young master? Our young master is so good-looking, kind-hearted, and comes from a good family. Didn’t you see? At today’s banquet, all those young ladies were frantic to speak with him. Just a word with our young master would make them faint with excitement. You, being in such a lucky position, don’t even realize it. Our young master likes you, yet you refuse him."
Throughout the journey, Wangyue kept grumbling, criticizing Ye Ningwan for failing to appreciate her situation.
Ye Ningwan asked, "Let me ask you, if your young master is so good, why don’t you like him?"
"How could I like him? I’m just an orphan, not of the same social standing."
"I’m also not of the same social standing. I’m an orphan too; there’s no difference between us."
"That’s different, I was raised by our young master, I only have respect for him, no other feelings." Wangyue argued confidently.
Ye Ningwan sighed softly, "Actually, it’s all the same reason, which is not liking. You only have respect without love for him, and the same goes for me. Besides, I have someone I like. How can I like him? Should I be someone unfaithful and fickle-minded?"
"But our young master is so good." Wangyue muttered with a pout.
Ye Ningwan did not argue with her about this.
People have their biases.
Wangyue is a person of the Xie Family and Xie Mingyu.
Naturally, she would think from his perspective and subconsciously lean towards him.
"Sorry, without the guest’s permission, you can’t go up."
Finally, they arrived at the hotel.
Unexpectedly, the hotel’s elevator required a card swipe.
But without a room card, they couldn’t go up.
Ye Ningwan said she was looking for a guest in room 1806, but the front desk said they couldn’t go up without the guest’s permission.
"Miss Ye, contact him and have him send someone down to get us," Wangyue suggested.
Ye Ningwan frowned.
She couldn’t contact him, couldn’t let him know she was coming over.
It had to be unexpected.
Contacting him would just expose herself, right?
"I’ll book a room next to 1806, is that possible?" Ye Ningwan asked.
The front desk smiled and shook her head, "Sorry, the entire floor has been booked by that guest."
As expected, a grand gesture typical of Zhan Hanjue.
Ye Ningwan felt stifled; just what was Zhan Hanjue trying to guard against?
Guarding against her?
"So what you’re saying is, we can’t go in," Wangyue asked angrily.
The front desk clerk smiled without speaking.
Wangyue gritted her teeth, suddenly pulling Ye Ningwan away.
Ye Ningwan asked, "Is there no other way?"
Wangyue replied, "Of course there is. You sit here and wait, I’ll make a call."
Ye Ningwan was made to sit down by Wangyue.
Wangyue took out her phone and made a call.
It wasn’t clear who she called, but after finishing, she sat down and waited together.
After about half an hour, a man hurriedly walked in.
"Young Master Yichen."
Wangyue excitedly stood up and walked towards Qiao Yichen.
Ye Ningwan didn’t expect Wangyue to have called Qiao Yichen.
Qiao Yichen quickly walked over, frowning and asked Wangyue, "Wangyue, what’s going on?"
Wangyue was anxious when calling him, asking him to come to the hotel quickly.
She didn’t explain the situation, so Qiao Yichen was very worried.
Wangyue grinned, "Young Master Yichen, nothing’s wrong."
Upon hearing that nothing was wrong, Qiao Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, his expression improving noticeably.
"Then why were you urgently asking me to come over, do you need my help with something?" Qiao Yichen guessed.
Wangyue nodded and explained the situation to him.
Qiao Yichen said, "I’ll take you up."
"Really? Thank you, Young Master Yichen." Wangyue beamed, thanking him with a bright smile.
Qiao Yichen chuckled, gazing at her with gentle eyes.
Wangyue turned around, hopping back to Ye Ningwan, "Miss Ye, we can go up now."
"Qiao Yichen can help? How can he do it?" Ye Ningwan asked.
Wangyue replied with pride, "This hotel is a property of the Qiao Family. It used to belong to the Xie Family but later became part of Mrs. Qiao’s dowry. So, Young Master Yichen is the owner. If he says so, there’s no problem."
"I see," Ye Ningwan smiled.
As expected, Qiao Yichen easily took them up.
Not only did he take them up, but he also got Zhan Hanjue’s room card.
Once upstairs, Ye Ningwan told Wangyue and Qiao Yichen, "Thanks you two, but I can go in by myself, you don’t need to follow."
"No way, I want to follow Miss Ye," Wangyue quickly said.
Qiao Yichen said, "If Miss Ye says we don’t need to follow, let’s wait downstairs. The tea café has a delicious cake; I’ll take you to try it."
Upon hearing about the delicious cake, Wangyue’s eyes lit up, her expression conflicted.
Ye Ningwan said, "You should go with Mr. Qiao! If anything comes up, I’ll call you."
Seeing Ye Ningwan insist, Wangyue nodded and happily went with Qiao Yichen.
Ye Ningwan took the room card and opened the room door.
As she stepped inside, several bodyguards stood up simultaneously.
They looked stern, fully alert, as if facing a formidable foe.
Especially Wu, who reached for a gun, directly pointing it at her.
However, upon seeing it was her, Wu immediately put away the gun.
The bodyguards also looked surprised, freezing in place, unsure of what to do.
Meanwhile, in the suite, Zhan Hanjue let out a low growl.
Ye Ningwan frowned and hurriedly walked in.
Wu stopped her.
"Madam, it’s inconvenient for you to go in now."
Ye Ningwan sneered, "Since you call me madam, and Jin Yingzi can be in there, you stop me?"
Wu looked embarrassed.
He wondered how she knew Jin Yingzi was inside.
Ye Ningwan headed straight in.
Wu naturally didn’t dare to really touch her, only tried to dissuade.
But Ye Ningwan didn’t listen and pushed open the door when she reached it.
On the suite’s bed were Zhan Hanjue and Jin Yingzi.
Zhan Hanjue was half-naked, his muscles tense. A fine sheen of sweat glistened on his skin under the light.
Jin Yingzi was there beside him.
She was leaning over, pressing against his chest, sucking.
Every time she sucked, Zhan Hanjue let out a pained low growl.
The sweat on him increased with each passing moment.
"What’s going on?"
Ye Ningwan asked coldly.
Zhan Hanjue was shocked, opening his eyes to look towards the door.
Upon seeing Ye Ningwan, his face turned ashen.
Jin Yingzi was also startled, stumbling backward and falling off the bed.
Wu immediately bowed his head and apologized, "Sorry, boss, I couldn’t stop madam."
