Chapter 22 Otherwise I'll Make You a Widow
Yu Chengbai is not at home.
"He's not home again?" Ning Yan, who never cared about whether Yu Chengbai would come home or when, couldn't help but feel a little shocked at this moment. He touched his chin and asked Aya in front of him, "Why do I feel like he's not home for 20 hours out of 24 hours now?"
This is not an exaggeration at all.
Ning Yan could basically only see Yu Chengbai at night, and he came back very late and didn't want to do anything with Ning Yan like he did the first time.
This is really abnormal.
Although it seemed unlikely, Ning Yan couldn't help but think of a saying - if a man doesn't feel hungry when he returns home, he probably ate his fill outside.
"Does he have someone outside?" Lan Ze frowned and spoke out Ning Yan's thoughts.
Aya was already a little panicked because she couldn't find Yu Chengbai. After all, it was such an important matter as her wife's pregnancy, and their relationship had not been smooth since her wife lost her memory. Now there was finally a breakthrough, but... her husband was not at home!
Hearing Lan Ze say this, he was instantly frightened and shouted, "No! The master is not that kind of person. He would never do anything to let his wife down!"
Lan Ze looked at her, his light eyes showing an aggressive indifference, but it was not directed at Aya. He said lightly: "Then why is he not at home so often?"
Aya was speechless: "..."
Lan Ze quietly looked at the girl in front of him, who was about his own age. Seeing her panic, he asked again, "I heard that he has good relationships with many people in Continent M, whether they are in the underworld or the white world, whether they are men or women, whether they are in the Golden Triangle Underground City or the Middle East United Chamber of Commerce, and even in the government, he seems to have a say."
Aya really didn't know about this. She was in charge of the manor's internal affairs. Before moving into the manor, she was studying in the Northern Continent.
The person who followed Yu Chengbai in and out and was doing business outside was Yu Chengbai's special assistant.
"I heard that the Tan family wants to marry several of their daughters to your husband." Lan Ze said in a light tone.
Aya's eyes widened in shock, "You know all this?"
After asking, she finally realized what was going on. Her face was full of bitterness and she almost wanted to cry: "You were Tan Zhui's lover and probably lived in the Tan family for several years. It's really easy for you to find out. Alas, I thought I could keep it a secret for Mr...."
This time it was Lan Ze who was stunned.
When Ning Yan saw his expression, she suddenly remembered that she had told Aya last time that the old man Lan Ze was with was Tan Zhui, and she forgot to inform Lan Ze.
But Lan Ze was smart. He was only stunned for two seconds and immediately turned his head to look at Ning Yan.
The two looked at each other tacitly, and then began to silently digest the other party's added drama anytime and anywhere.
Tan Zhui, the head of the Tan family, was famous in his early years. He was vicious and treacherous, and everyone in Continent M respected him.
Even after he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, few people dared to touch him.
Lan Ze was really surprised that Ning Yan added more scenes to his role as Tan Zhui. Wasn't he afraid that Tan Zhui would kill him after knowing about it?
Ning Yan seemed to understand his eyes, and without saying anything, he explained with his eyes -
The old man himself doesn’t even know how many lovers he has had, so what are we afraid of?
“…”
Lan Ze, taking the lead, turned his head and accepted his new setting calmly.
Growing up in Continent M, both he and Ning Yan disdained things like reputation. Some killers, when facing death, would bring out any big shot they could think of to save their lives, and the fact that they were being someone's lover was not really a huge lie.
Aya was still in the midst of a breakdown and tried to explain to Ning Yan, "Tan Zhui did want to marry his youngest daughter to you, but, but...but it didn't work out! They only met a few times, but we never talked about it!"
Oh, no success.
Ning Yan was also quite fond of gossip. After hearing this, he stroked his chin in thought and muttered, "No wonder you said before that Tan Zhui often sent people to invite Yu Chengbai to dinner. It turns out that he wanted Yu Chengbai to be his son-in-law."
Aya's face turned even uglier. She reached out to pull Ning Yan, her eyes wide open, and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, Madam, please listen to me. They only met a few times. There's nothing. Really nothing. I swear! I swear!"
Ning Yan patted her hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I believe you, they are definitely fine."
Lan Ze couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.
Ning Yan spread his hands slightly and gave him a helpless expression. He really felt that Aya was not lying.
Because when he was still in the capital, he had heard of Yu Chengbai's reputation for being a love affair. It was really strange. His family background, education, temperament and even reputation since childhood were all very good, but it was so outrageous that every blind date he went on turned out badly.
Yu Li couldn't stand it any longer and urged Ning Yan: "Why don't you go meet my brother and see what's going on?"
Ning Yanzhen went there, dressed beautifully in women's clothes, and borrowed the identity of Yu Li's friend to go on a blind date with Yu Chengbai.
Of course, the face is also the face of Yu Li’s friend.
They were at a high-end restaurant for dinner. After the meal, Ning Yan didn't see anything inferior about the other person. On the contrary, he was gentle and considerate, like a rare good man.
Until the last moment when the two of them parted, Ning Yan leaned forward to give Yu Chengbai a kiss, just like she usually did on a date, but Yu Chengbai dodged her.
Ning Yan was stunned at the time and asked him, "Are you here to find a partner?"
Yu Chengbai looked at him with some confusion and said, "You seem a little different since the last time we met."
Ning Yan: “…”
Ning Yan asked him out several times in a row, and finally had to admit that he was a blockhead who didn't understand romance. The more time went by, the more he felt that he was not on an ambiguous date with a man - he felt like he was taking his father shopping.
In fact, this man is not bad looking. Even in the eyes of Ning Yan, who has seen countless men in gay bars, his appearance is simply top-notch.
But no matter how good this man is, he can never make people want to fall in love.
To put it bluntly, during that time Ning Yan developed a strange feeling for Yu Chengbai - he wanted to be Yu Chengbai's son.
Rumors in the following years gradually confirmed that Ning Yan's feeling was correct. None of the young ladies from powerful families in Beijing were in love with Yu Chengbai.
Ning Yan was so itchy that he couldn't help but ask a rich girl he was on good terms with. The girl said to him with a complicated expression, "You know, Ah Yan, Yu Chengbai has a certain aura about him. It's that kind of a clean, pure aura, you know? But when I think about sleeping with him, I, I... I feel so dirty! So awkward! I feel guilty even thinking about it in my mind!"
Ning Yan was stunned for a long time, then laughed: "You hate men?"
The daughter shook her head vigorously: "No! Just with him, and I've dated him several times, and we've never been ambiguous. It's just warm, warm as when I'm at home with my mom making dumplings around the stove and she sprinkles flour on my nose! The atmosphere is so good that I want to kneel down and call him Dad!"
“…”
So Ning Yan really didn't doubt Yu Chengbai and the young lady from the Tan family at all, and there was really nothing to worry about.
"Sister Aya! Sister Aya!" A maid suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside, looking panicked.
Seeing Ning Yan was there, she was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and rushed over to Ning Yan and said, "Madam, our husband has been detained by the Cheng family!"
Ning Yan was startled and frowned: "Cheng Zhengze?"
The maid nodded vigorously, glanced at Lan Ze cautiously, and said softly, "He asked you to hand over your brother, otherwise... he would make you a widow."
