Chapter 35

“Madam.”

Ye Ningxuan was reading in the hospital when Chen Tan suddenly came over and greeted her respectfully.

“Yes?” Ye Ningxuan put down her book.

Chen Tan looked at Wu Taotao.

Wu Taotao immediately said tactfully, “I’ll go out for a walk. Have a good chat.”

“You even specifically sent the people around me away. Is it urgent?” Ye Ningxuan asked slowly.

Chen Tan said, “It’s not that urgent. I’m just afraid that you’ll be embarrassed, Madam. It was the boss who instructed me to come over and ask you when you’re going to move back home.”

Ye Ningxuan was speechless.

“Ahem, Shao’er hasn’t healed yet. I might… it’ll be a while before I can go back.”

“Alright, I’ll tell the boss. However, the boss said that the information about your parents’ car accident will expire before ten tonight. If you don’t hurry home to read it, you might not be able to see it,” Chen Tan reminded with a smile.

Ye Ningxuan’s eyes widened. “Expire?”

It wasn’t a snack. How could it expire?’

Zhan Hanjue had gone out of his way to force her to return home.

Chen Tan smiled but said nothing.

Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth. “Okay, go back and tell him that I’ll go back tonight. Ask him to wash his neck and wait for me.”

Chen Tan was speechless.

The CEO’s wife was really… daring to say such bold words.

He blushed and nodded awkwardly. He fled and left in a hurry.

Ye Ningxuan looked at his fleeing back figure and snorted.

Did he really think she was a sensitive and ignorant little girl?

However, Zhan Hanjue was really…

Actually, when she agreed to Zhan Hanjue’s conditions that day, he asked her to go back with him that night.

“Now that you have agreed, you must do your duty as Mrs. Zhan.”

“Help you undress?” Ye Ningxuan thought of how he had asked her to do her duty as Mrs. Zhan on their wedding night.

“I’ll take it off for you this time,” Zhan Hanjue whispered in her ear, leaning close.

Ye Ningxuan blushed and immediately thought of something that only happened between couples. Her pupils dilated and she took a step back while looking at him in horror.

“As you suspect, yes.” Zhan Hanjue actually nodded primly.

Ye Ningxuan was caught between laughter and tears. After a while, she said, “I did promise you, but I didn’t say that I would do it immediately… My brother is still in the hospital, and I’m not in the mood. If you can’t wait, I can introduce you to others.”

“There’s no need for that. Take good care of Ye Shao. I can afford to wait.” Zhan Hanjue didn’t pester her and turned to leave.

Actually, Ye Ningxuan wanted to go back that night to look at the information he had gathered.

After all, she was also very curious about what had happened back then and who was involved in the car accident.

But because of Zhan Hanjue’s words, she had no choice but to dismiss the idea of going home.

Not only did she not go back that day, but she didn’t go back for a week.

Fortunately, her luggage had been sent to Wu Taotao’s residence previously, so she called her and asked her to bring her clothes.

All of Ye Shao’s treatment fees were naturally billed to Zhan Hanjue. Ye Ningxuan got the hospital to book a VIP ward for him to stay in.

She didn’t expect Zhan Hanjue to be so despicable. Seeing that she had not returned after a long time, he actually asked Chen Tan to come over and tell her that the data would expire.

Ye Ningxuan was furious.

After Chen Tan left, Wu Taotao ran back. “What did he come to tell you? Why does his expression look so strange?”

“It’s fine. Help me prepare some things.” Ye Ningxuan snorted.

Trying to outwit her?

He was a virgin who didn’t even understand the matters between men and women. He was thinking too simply.

“What is it?” Wu Taotao asked.

Ye Ningxuan whispered in her ear and Tao Tao blushed.

She couldn’t help but punch her shoulder. “Ningning, you’re so bad.”

“Hurry up and shop online to help me prepare.” Ye Ningxuan smiled.

Wu Taotao held back her laughter and nodded.

After dinner, Ye Ningxuan asked the driver to take her home.

He thought that Zhan Hanjue was already at home, but he didn’t expect him to not be back from work yet.

Butler Wu asked her to have dinner first. He said that the young master had something to attend to tonight and wouldn’t be back for dinner.

“Business engagement? Didn’t he never socialize in the past? Why is he socializing now?” Ye Ningxuan asked curiously.

Butler Wu replied with a smile, “In the past, Young Master didn’t have good eyesight and didn’t want to meet anyone. Now that his eyesight has recovered, he’s naturally willing to go out to socialize. The old lady said that we have to thank you for this. She asked us to prepare a few more decent clothes for you. In the future, you will definitely go out to socialize with Young Master.”

Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly.

After eating, she immediately searched online and realized what she had missed in the hospital these days.

The recovery of Zhan Hanjue’s vision caused an uproar online, especially when he participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a project. His appearance shocked everyone.

The socialites who had been afraid of being chosen by the Zhan family to become Zhan Hanjue’s wife were all filled with regret.

If they could marry such a man, they would be willing to die in a moment.

Looking at the comments about Zhan Hanjue on the Internet, Ye Ningxuan felt that it was ironic.

Everyone in the world ignorantly joined the bandwagon and thought that they knew the entire truth.

“Chen Tan, when is your boss coming back? Didn’t you say that the files will expire at ten? It’s already nine o’clock. If he doesn’t come back and I can’t see it, who will be responsible?”

At the hotel, Ye Ningxuan finally couldn’t help but take out her phone and call Chen Tan.

Chen Tan asked her to wait for a moment. He must have asked Zhan Hanjue. He quickly replied, “Madam, the boss said that the information is still on the table in his study. You can go over and take a look now.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Ye Ningxuan immediately hung up.

She hurried toward Zhan Hanjue’s study.

She pushed open the study door and turned on the light. Sure enough, there was a folder on the desk. It was the folder that Zhan Hanjue had thrown on the table that day.

What was… inside?

Ye Ningxuan was a little nervous. She took a deep breath and opened the information bag with trembling hands.

There were photographs of the crash site, and some papers.

Ye Ningxuan looked at the photos of the accident scene first.

When she saw the remains of the car in the photo, some memories came to mind. Those random memories whizzed out and gave her a splitting headache.

She covered her head with one hand and held on to the table with the other, her body swaying.

But it was too painful!

She couldn’t hold on. Her head was spinning. She staggered back.

But instead of falling to the ground, she landed in a warm, strong embrace.

His vision blurred. Looking up, all he could see was the vague outline of a human face.

The voice seemed to come from the distant horizon. “What happened to you?” He asked her in a low voice.

She opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out.

In the end, she couldn’t hold on anymore. Her vision darkened and she fainted.
