Chapter 390: Girls Can’t Be Kept at Home
Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan finally took a helicopter and left here. They couldn’t return directly to Jiangcheng, so they decided to land in Tong City first before heading back to Jiangcheng.
Xie Mingyu saw Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan returning together and showed a jealous expression, "Why are you two still together?"
"I went after her," Zhan Hanjue said proudly.
Xie Mingyu immediately said, "If I hadn’t had something to do at the time, I would have gone too."
"So now, the two of us are together." Zhan Hanjue wrapped his arm around Ye Ningwan’s shoulder.
Xie Mingyu sneered, "So what? Wanwan hasn’t forgiven you."
"Well, the old Zhan Hanjue, indeed Wanwan wouldn’t forgive. But now, Wanwan won’t blame me, because the present Zhan Hanjue is her man." Zhan Hanjue looked at Ye Ningwan with gentle eyes.
Xie Mingyu was fed a mouthful of public display of affection, his little face turned red with anger.
He snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.
But soon, he thought of something else, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean? What’s past and present?"
"I’ve regained my memory," Zhan Hanjue said.
Xie Mingyu gritted his teeth and looked angrily at Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan immediately said innocently, "This is not my fault, why are you glaring at me? Don’t glare at me first, let me ask you, has Xunyou returned yet?"
She had been trying to contact Xunyou these past two days but couldn’t get through on the phone.
This was also why she wanted to transit through Tong City, to inquire about Xunyou’s whereabouts.
Xie Mingyu was surprised, "Have you lost Xunyou again?"
"What do you mean by I’ve lost her again? She has hands and feet, if she wants to run away, I can’t stop her, can I?"
"But, she went out with you. Ye Ningwan, I’ve realized you’re a master at losing people," Xie Mingyu angrily teased.
If it weren’t for liking her, he would have called her a jinx.
However, he didn’t say it, but Ye Ningwan did.
"You want to call me a jinx, don’t you? But it’s really not my fault, she ran off just like that, what can I do?"
"Can’t reach her by phone?" Xie Mingyu asked.
Ye Ningwan nodded.
Xie Mingyu didn’t believe it, he tried calling Xunyou himself.
Unexpectedly, the call went through immediately.
Xie Mingyu triumphantly showed Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan was speechless, snatched his phone, and asked Xunyou, "Xunyou, where are you?"
"Miss Ye?" Xunyou was surprised.
Ye Ningwan said, "Don’t hang up the phone, I have your young master with me. If you want him safe and sound, come find me."
"Our young master is with you? Did you kidnap him?" Xunyou asked.
"Yes, I did." Ye Ningwan admitted.
But then, Xunyou said, "Go ahead and kill him! I won’t come to see you."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Ye Ningwan stifled her laughter and handed the phone back to Xie Mingyu, "It seems the girl you raised isn’t that loyal. Indeed, girls grow up and can’t be kept; you should cherish the people around you now."
Xie Mingyu naturally heard Xunyou’s words, and his face turned green with anger.
The saying that girls grow up to be independent is entirely true.
After Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue left, Xie Mingyu vented his anger on Shangxue.
"I’ve raised you all so hard, and one by one, you’re leaving me. That girl Xunyou even let Ye Ningwan tell me to kill me, it’s really too much."
Shangxue looked at the fuming Xie Mingyu and quickly reassured him gently, "Young master, don’t be so angry. Xunyou must know that Miss Ye won’t hurt you, that’s why she said such things. If you were in danger, Xunyou would fight more than anyone else."
"Do you think I would believe that? Even Wangyue, that simple-minded girl, left with Qiao Yichen, and Xunyou, who roams around all day, might not come back one day. Shangxue, you’re the only one left, will you also leave me one day?" Xie Mingyu questioned.
Shangxue quickly raised her hand and swore, "Of course not, I will never leave you."
Only then did Xie Mingyu smile in satisfaction.
However, after learning that Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue were leaving in the afternoon, he still threw a fit.
Old Sir Xie called him over.
"Yu’er, you see Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan have reconciled, waiting any longer is meaningless. Why don’t you also consider your lifelong matter?"
"Grandpa, Ye Ningwan and I had an arranged engagement," Xie Mingyu said.
Old Sir Xie said, "Yes, there was an arranged engagement. But back then, I wasn’t sure how long you’d live, having a wife would at least... well, I could face your parents with some comfort. Also, I hoped her mentor could heal you, cementing the family ties. But as people grow up, they have their own ideas. Ye Ningwan has someone she likes, we can’t be so clueless, right? My Yu’er is so good, why hang on to this one tree."
"If I don’t like her, who do I like?" Xie Mingyu mumbled.
Old Sir Xie thought for a moment, "How about Shangxue? That girl has been by your side for so many years, she knows you inside and out. Besides her, I wouldn’t trust anyone to take care of you. Why don’t you accept her?"
"Grandpa, Shangxue is my maid, don’t arrange unwarranted marriages." Xie Mingyu left displeased.
"Yu’er."
Old Sir Xie called out twice angrily, but Xie Mingyu ignored him and walked away quickly.
However, after Xie Mingyu left, Shangxue came out from next door.
Lowering her head, her expression was filled with sadness.
Old Sir Xie sighed, "Shangxue, you heard it too. He doesn’t want it, so I’ll arrange a match for him next. I still hope you can take care of him as before."
"Of course, sir, don’t worry. My life belongs to the young master. No matter how he treats me, I won’t change my intention." Shangxue said bitterly.
Old Sir Xie nodded and let Shangxue leave.
As Shangxue went out, she received a call from Ye Ningwan.
"Miss Ye."
"Shangxue, I’m flying this afternoon. Let’s meet up." Ye Ningwan suggested.
"Okay!" Shangxue agreed.
Following the address Ye Ningwan provided, she went to see her.
Ye Ningwan sat in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, the sunlight streaming through the glass, as if casting a glow over her.
Holy and enchanting.
As soon as Shangxue entered, she saw Ye Ningwan and stared at her for a while.
Without a doubt, Ye Ningwan was beautiful. Few women could blend such elements together, but she did.
Could this be why the young master was so attached and unable to let go?
Shangxue turned to look at the mirror by the door.
The reflection showed her own elegant, gentle self, completely different from Ye Ningwan.
Shangxue smiled self-deprecatingly.
Forget it, she is who she is. Regardless of whether the young master likes it or not, she cannot become Ye Ningwan, nor does she want to.
Only by being herself can she care for the young master’s daily needs.
"Shangxue, I’m here."
Ye Ningwan saw her and waved.
Shangxue took a deep breath and walked towards Ye Ningwan.
"Miss Ye, what’s the matter?"
After sitting down, Shangxue asked gently and graciously.
