Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement

Chapter 415: How to Win a Girl’s Heart

Ningwan woke up, staring blankly at the familiar ceiling.Her head hurt a bit, so she massaged it and began recalling yesterday’s events.

Yesterday, she and Wu Taotao went to a bar, drank quite a bit, ran into a young man who confessed to her, then she lectured him. And then... Zhan Hanjue came, took her to the car, but she couldn’t remember anything after getting in the car.

She had promised not to drink, but still couldn’t resist getting drunk.

Ningwan pounded her own head, feeling quite forgetful.

She wondered if Zhan Hanjue would be angry, since last time he specifically told her not to drink anymore.

It hasn’t been long, and she’s already blacked out again.

By the way, where’s Wu Taotao?

Ningwan suddenly thought of Wu Taotao and hurriedly got out of bed.

But just as she reached the door, Zhan Hanjue was coming in with a glass of milk.

Seeing her awake, he reached out a hand, touched her head, and asked, "Got a headache? Yesterday, I found the hangover pill you developed before and gave you one. Should be alright now!"

"Hmm, it’s not too bad, you gave me a hangover pill? Thanks!" Ningwan smiled awkwardly and thanked him.

Hanjue laughed, "Why are you being so polite? I’m your husband, taking care of you is my duty."

But aren’t you angry?

Ningwan wanted to ask but felt asking such a question might cause trouble for herself.

So, she just smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Zhan Hanjue saw her bare feet, quickly put the milk aside, bent down, and picked her up to sit on the bed.

"Why are you barefooted? Even Tuantuan knows to wear shoes, you should put on your slippers properly. You’re a Chinese medicine practitioner, surely you know the importance of keeping your feet warm? Go freshen up, drink a glass of milk, and come down for breakfast later."

Zhan Hanjue spoke while bending down to help her put on her shoes.

Ningwan lowered her head, looking at him, feeling touched inside.

She couldn’t remember the last time someone helped her put on shoes.

Suddenly, she felt embarrassed and tried to pull her foot back, but Zhan Hanjue caught it.

"Wear your shoes properly, don’t move around."

"It tickles," Ningwan said, holding back a laugh.

Zhan Hanjue finished putting on her shoes, stood up and said, "Go freshen up."

"Okay, on my way," Ningwan stood up, but after taking a few steps, she turned back to him, "But you shouldn’t drink milk immediately after freshening up, having milk on an empty stomach is bad for the stomach. I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, I know these things."

Hanjue chuckled gently, nodded, and took the milk downstairs.

After freshening up, Ningwan came downstairs and saw Wu Taotao sitting on the sofa playing puzzles with Tuantuan and Xiaxia.

She raised her eyebrows, sat down to watch for a while, and found her son was indeed good at entertaining his sister.

Around the age of two, he wasn’t really into puzzles anymore.

Puzzle games were too easy for him, hardly challenging.

Yet now, he’s solving them with Xiaxia, deliberately making mistakes to make her laugh, and he giggles foolishly beside her.

Ningwan smiled and shook her head, not exposing her son’s little tricks.

She made a gesture to Wu Taotao, who understood and stood up to join her on the balcony.

"Why aren’t you leaving yet? You’ve sobered up from the alcohol, still not going, waiting for someone?" Ningwan teased with a smile.

Wu Taotao openly admitted, "Yes, waiting for a certain heartless person. Still hiding in the room, refusing to come out, it’s really too much."

"He can’t see you?" Ningwan was surprised.

Wu Taotao nodded, pleading with Ningwan, "You try to talk to him, don’t let him keep sulking. Really, meeting with Leng Ziqing was nothing more than a favor for helping with my exhibition. I didn’t want to owe him, so I invited him to dinner. If there was anything between us, I wouldn’t eat with him, regardless of the favor."

"Taotao, it’s not just because Ye Shao is my brother that I’m helping him. What you did was wrong; you know Ye Shao cares deeply about Leng Ziqing. Regardless of not wanting to owe Leng Ziqing or other reasons, you shouldn’t have met him without telling Ye Shao." Ningwan said seriously.

Wu Taotao nodded, "I know, this was my oversight. I was afraid he’d be jealous. Often, that’s how things are; the more you’re afraid of something, the more likely it is to happen. I know I was wrong, I’m willing to apologize, but I wish he wouldn’t be angry."

"Alright, I’ll go talk to him, and don’t worry, hurry up to have breakfast." Ningwan patted her on the shoulder.

Wu Taotao returned to the children, looking dejected, continuing to play with them.

Ningwan went upstairs to find Ye Shao.

She knocked on the door, but Ye Shao didn’t open.

Ningwan had no choice but to say, "It’s me, open the door."

Indeed, when he heard her voice, Ye Shao opened the door.

"Sis," Ye Shao was also dejected.

Ningwan said, "After hitting someone, you end up feeling dejected? I thought you’d be triumphant."

"How can I be triumphant when I’ve been cuckolded?" Ye Shao smirked bitterly in self-mockery.

Ningwan raised her eyebrows, "I don’t like hearing such things, what do you mean cuckolded? How did Taotao cheat on you? I haven’t been here these past few years, only heard you guys on calls saying you were doing well, not knowing your actual situation. Are you watching Taotao too closely? Because you’re so vigilant, she dare not tell you the truth."

Having said that, Ningwan explained Wu Taotao’s side of the story again.

Ye Shao clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips without speaking.

"Shao’er, what’s really bothering you?" Ningwan asked seriously.

"Sis, I think I’m... a failure, I’m afraid I don’t measure up to Wu Taotao, can’t give her the best life," Ye Shao slowly unclenched his fists, bowed his head, painfully confessing his feelings.

Ningwan raised her eyebrows, "Why do you feel that way?"

Ye Shao kept his lips closed in silence.

Ningwan thought the matter was serious, but although she was a doctor, she was just a Chinese medicine practitioner.

She heals physical ailments, not heartaches; this was a heart issue, beyond her abilities.

"Let’s go downstairs to eat, we’ll talk about this later." Ningwan patted his shoulder.

Ye Shao nodded and went downstairs with her.

Seeing Wu Taotao, Ye Shao’s eyes avoided hers.

Wu Taotao was furious, stormed over and slapped him, "Why are you avoiding my gaze? What do you want to do?"

"I don’t want anything, just angry," Ye Shao rubbed the spot Wu Taotao slapped in pain, muttering complaints.

Wu Taotao rolled her eyes, saying to Ningwan, "I can’t eat, I’m leaving first, you guys eat slowly."

"Taotao," Ningwan frowned.

Wu Taotao said, "Ningning, I really can’t eat, I’m leaving first. Also, Ye Shao, if you can’t figure this out and decide not to talk to me, fine, then let’s break up! I don’t want to keep placating you like a kid, it’s too tiring."

With that, Wu Taotao turned and left.

Ningwan kicked Ye Shao, lowered her voice and scolded, "Hurry and chase her, if you don’t, you’ll end up single!"

Ye Shao hesitated, but only for a few seconds before he ran out after her.
