Chapter 386: Saying He Has No Sense of Romance
Zhan Hanjue saw Ye Ningwan and Feng Jiuzun chatting happily, and felt uneasy.
Even though last night in the cave, he and Ye Ningwan had made progress.
But...
Ye Ningwan hadn’t given him a definitive answer, their relationship was still ambiguous.
This made him feel tormented inside, extremely uneasy.
However, he didn’t dare confront them, since he currently had neither the standing nor position to do so.
He walked away, dispirited.
Unknowingly, he wandered to where the wounded were resting.
Seeing so many injured people, he didn’t feel like staying there, so he found a quiet place to be alone.
"Zhan Hanjue."
Unexpectedly, although he thought there was no one else, someone was still there.
Zhan Hanjue was startled, hurriedly looking at the patient lying on the stretcher.
"It’s you?"
Shuixian smirked, "Yes, it’s me. Are you astonished by my current beauty?"
Shuixian was restless even lying in bed, using a small mirror to apply makeup.
Just after finishing her makeup, she saw Zhan Hanjue coming over, unexpectedly.
She thought she looked good, but needed recognition from others.
However, she clearly chose the wrong person.
Zhan Hanjue glanced briefly, and coldly said, "Not much."
She was Ye Ningwan’s senior, and now had issues with Ye Ningwan, let alone with her.
Shuixian was annoyed and complained, "Zhan Hanjue, you really are such a dull man. Faced with a beauty like me, you actually say not much? So uninteresting, I really don’t understand what Li Qingqing sees in you."
"You know Li Qingqing well?" Zhan Hanjue asked.
Shuixian scoffed with a laugh, "Of course well, I even introduced her to a few men like you for enjoyment."
"Disgusting." Zhan Hanjue frowned deeply, showing a look of disgust.
Shuixian said, "What’s disgusting? Is liking you wrong? Zhan Hanjue, don’t you feel that you owe her? How many decades does a woman get to garner your affection?"
"It’s irrelevant to me. I’ve never liked her. Besides, liking someone isn’t harm. I heard she’s done many things to hurt me. That kind of affection, I don’t need." Zhan Hanjue replied coldly.
"Heard? Zhan Hanjue, you haven’t regained your memory?" Shuixian asked, surprised.
Zhan Hanjue kept a blank face and said nothing.
Suddenly, Shuixian laughed aloud, looking at Zhan Hanjue, "I thought Ye Ningwan would make you regain your memory right away. Who knew she didn’t do it. Why? Is it because she doesn’t like you anymore and doesn’t want you to regain your memory?"
"What do you mean?" Zhan Hanjue asked.
Shuixian smirked, "You’ve surely forgotten, back then, Li Qingqing captured you, made me concoct drugs to confuse your nerves. Eventually, she used hypnosis to make you lose those memories with Ye Ningwan. Li Qingqing said she wouldn’t let Ye Ningwan have you if she couldn’t. Frankly, her perspective is quite similar to mine which is why I was willing to cooperate with her. However, I don’t agree with her stubbornness, being stuck on one tree for so many years, fortunately, later on..."
"Get to the point." Zhan Hanjue reprimanded.
Shuixian groused, "Rushing me, the point is, Ye Ningwan forced me to hand over the antidote. I thought she’d let you take it immediately to regain your memory, but it’s not the case now. Zhan Hanjue, why do you think she didn’t?"
Zhan Hanjue remained silent.
He actually did not know about such matters.
Shuixian laughed, "I guess she probably doesn’t like you anymore. That’s why she doesn’t want you to regain your memory, so she can break up with you. Also, which woman would like a dull man like you? I see the newly arrived Feng Jiuzun is much more charming than you, he’s handsome and young. If I were Ye Ningwan, I’d choose him over you."
"Has anyone told you your eyes are ugly, clearly a result of failed plastic surgery?" Zhan Hanjue stood up and randomly remarked.
Shuixian froze, quickly picked up her mirror to look at her own eyes.
"Zhan Hanjue, you’re too much."
She originally didn’t think her eyes were ugly, but after Zhan Hanjue’s remark, the more she looked, the uglier they seemed, she couldn’t help but scream loudly.
Hearing the cries behind him, Zhan Hanjue snorted loudly, expressionless, he left.
When he went to look for Ye Ningwan, she had already left.
Only Feng Jiuzun remained.
Zhan Hanjue planned to leave, but unexpectedly Little Shitou came running over.
This child was really healthy, previously feverish, now already lively and energetic.
"Uncle, thank you for saving me." Little Shitou thanked Zhan Hanjue.
Zhan Hanjue patted his head, "You’re welcome, but don’t run off again in the future."
Little Shitou nodded.
Suddenly, the little guy asked Zhan Hanjue, "Uncle, do you like Auntie?"
Zhan Hanjue was taken aback, caught between tears and laughter.
Unexpectedly, even a small child could see it.
However, if even a small child could see it, why couldn’t Ye Ningwan see it?
Did she really not see it, or was she pretending to be oblivious?
Not giving him the antidote, not helping him restore memory?
Was it fear that once he regained his memories of the past with her, he would chase after her?
"Hey, Tuantuan."
After Little Shitou left, Zhan Hanjue received a call from his son.
Tuantuan noticed something odd in his voice and asked, "Daddy, what’s wrong?"
"Tuantuan, let me ask you, am I an interesting man?" Zhan Hanjue asked uncertainly.
In the past, he never considered the matter of being interesting or not.
To think, one day he’d have to care about such a thing.
"Daddy, did something happen to you?" Tuantuan asked.
"No, I’m just afraid... afraid that my lack of interest means mom doesn’t like me." Zhan Hanjue admitted.
Little Tuantuan immediately chimed in, "Then you just need to become interesting, and mom will like you, right? Daddy, being interesting isn’t innate, it can be cultivated later."
"Right, our Tuantuan makes good points." Zhan Hanjue laughed.
After hanging up, Zhan Hanjue started searching on his phone for the definition of ’being interesting’.
With such a reminder from his son, he felt enlightened.
Enlightened, Zhan Hanjue searched online, selected something implementable, then proceeded to enlist the help of several villagers for preparation.
Originally, he intended to ask his bodyguards for help.
However, they were unfamiliar with the place here, it was best to ask the locals.
Being in the mountains, though resources were scarce, natural elements were plentiful.
After spending half a day, he got everything ready.
"Little Shitou, here, take this and go find Mrs. Ye, ask her to come to the riverbank."
Zhan Hanjue gave Little Shitou some candy, naturally, he was happy and immediately ran to find Ye Ningwan.
"Auntie, Mr. Zhan asked you to meet him by the river, he has something to tell you." Little Shitou said, lifting his neck.
Ye Ningwan frowned, "What does he want with me?"
And why go to the riverbank?
"Don’t go, who knows what he’s up to," Feng Jiuzun advised from the side.
Ye Ningwan glared at him, told Little Shitou, "Okay, I’ll go there after I finish these tasks."
"Tch, still defending him," Feng Jiuzun sneered.
Nevertheless, he didn’t dare offend Ye Ningwan too much.
Ye Ningwan said she already knew who the woman he spoke of was.
He hoped Ye Ningwan would help him find this person, so for now, he couldn’t offend her and obediently kept quiet.
