The moment she saw Zhou Wenhuai, Ning Wan instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen, especially when she thought that the letter was already in his hands, this premonition became even stronger.
How about going through the back door?
But as soon as she moved, Zhou Wenhuai seemed to see her intention and said again without caring: "If you still care about Shen Jingwen's life or death, then don't reject me."
When Zhou Wenhuai talked about Shen Jingwen, his tone was obviously much heavier.
Looking at Zhou Wenhuai with a somewhat ferocious face, Ning Wan frowned slightly: ...Threatening her?
"Xiao Qi, has the letter been sent out?"
[Host, rest assured, the letter is still in Zhou Wenhuai's hands and has not been sent out yet.]
Hearing this, Ning Wan felt much more relieved.
Zhou Wenhuai looked at the person he hadn't seen for several days, his heart trembling slightly. He felt angry and confused: Does she care so much about that poor scholar?
impossible.
She must have been temporarily confused by the poor scholar. After Shen Jingwen died, she would definitely be able to figure it out.
Ning Wan: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
"No." Zhou Wenhuai refused without hesitation, frowning, and then said in a gentle voice, as if trying to please, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
"I've already booked a room."
Zhou Wenhuai only felt that Ning Wan's pleasant voice was as cold as ice chips, but thinking of the purpose of today, he had no intention of compromising and added another sentence.
If it wasn't the wrong timing, Ning Wan really wanted to just leave and reply to him: You can say it or not.
[Today's suicidal mission is being issued: Cooperate with Zhou Wenhuai and have a secret conversation to obtain the secret about the letter.
(Note: The host cannot guess the contents of the letter to complete the task. The secret of the letter must be revealed by Zhou Wenhuai to count.)
Time limit for task completion: one hour.
Mission failure penalty: Forced to perform a scenario. (The scenario involves the host being caught having a secret meeting at the inn and the host having to initiate the breakup, thus angering the male protagonist.)
Special reminder: The penalty plot for this mission is mandatory. After the plot is over, the host may be retaliated by the male protagonist. Please choose carefully.
Ning Wan was silent for a while: "...Hmm."
Haha, just say that nothing good comes of meeting him!
Ning Wan nodded, and Zhou Wenhuai also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again. While leading the way, he thought: It seems that Ning Wan still has him in her heart.
Ning Wan didn't pay attention to Zhou Wenhuai's self-righteous smile, and had already started thinking about how to get the secret in the letter.
However, what Ning Wan didn't know was that as soon as she left with Zhou Wenhuai, someone told Shen Jingwen about this.
On the way, Zhou Wenhuai looked at Ning Wan who was still deliberately keeping a distance. Although he wanted to get closer, he restrained his thoughts after thinking about their current relationship.
He doesn't need to rush to reveal his identity now. He will definitely be the one standing by Ning Wan's side, and he will also be the one who can inherit the Ning family's property.
Everything started to develop in the direction he wanted.
Soon, an inn appeared in front of the two.
Zhou Wenhuai chose a room at the end of the corridor.
As soon as Ning Wan entered, Zhou Wenhuai followed closely and slammed the door shut.
"Are you still angry?"
Ning Wan was stunned for a moment by the inexplicable words, but before she could ask, Zhou Wenhuai took the initiative to confess: "I didn't mean to not save you that day. Can you please stop being angry?"
Seeing Ning Wan remained silent, Zhou Wenhuai continued to talk to himself:
"You know, I'm the only son of the Zhou family. If something happens to me, what will my parents do? What will the Zhou family do? If something happens to you, the Ning family will definitely need someone who knows you well to help you, right?"
"I didn't expect you to jump down to save him. If you knew..."
Ning Wan looked at Zhou Wenhuai, who seemed to be repenting, and interrupted him playfully, asking like a question: "If you knew, what would you do?"
She wanted to see what nice words Zhou Wenhuai could say.
But the facts proved that Ning Wan had overestimated Zhou Wenhuai. He was unwilling to tell even a perfunctory lie. His words were extremely honest, but also full of hypocrisy:
"I'm not afraid of death, it's just that the lake is too deep, and as you know, I'm not a good swimmer."
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again. I will definitely protect you..."
Ning Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, and without waiting for Zhou Wenhuai to finish his words, she subconsciously took a small step back: This man is too scary!
She wasn't even dead yet, but this man had already started coveting her family's property. Why hadn't she noticed Zhou Wenhuai was so shameless before?
"stop!"
Ning Wan, wearing a pink long coat and a pair of black cotton boots, couldn't help but reach out to interrupt Zhou Wenhuai's play and asked bluntly, "What on earth do you want to talk to me about today?"
Zhou Wenhuai said without hesitation: "I'll ask you to cancel the engagement."
Seeing Ning Wan's distant attitude, Zhou Wenhuai didn't say much. He directly confessed his purpose and said with an attitude that seemed to be doing Ning Wan's good:
"Ning Wan, Chen Jingwen is not worthy of you. He's just a poor scholar. He's only betrothed to you because he values your wealth and status. If you really marry him, you'll be falling into his trap. Do you really want to sacrifice your engagement just to be angry with me?"
"You came to me today just for this matter?" Ning Wan asked in confusion.
But Zhou Wenhuai was still unaware of this. Looking at Ning Wan, whom he was thinking about so much, he said, "Well, Ning Wan, I won't hide it from you. Sooner or later, the world will belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
