Either Kiss or Beat

Wu Wei despised Wu Taotao's behavior.

It was just a meal. It was just some chicken, duck, and fish. It wasn't that precious. What could they learn?

However, when it was time for dinner, they were invited to the dining room.

Not only Wu Taotao, but Wu Wei was also dumbfounded!

"Are you sure it's the dining room where you usually eat?" Wu Wei asked Ye Ningxuan.

Ye Ningxuan was about to shake her head when Zhan Hanjue walked over and hugged her waist intimately. He said to Wu Wei and Wu Taotao, "Welcome to the Zhan family. Please forgive me for my lack of hospitality."

Ye Ningxuan turned around and looked at Zhan Hanjue in surprise. They usually ate separately, so why was he here today?

Also, this was the first time she had been to such a large dining room. Only today did she realize that the Zhan family had such a huge dining room.

"Hello, Mr. Zhan. Thank you for your hospitality. It's so sumptuous! It can simply be called an imperial feast." Wu Taotao looked excitedly at the long eight-meter table filled with all kinds of delicacies. She was about to drool.

"You're welcome. It's just home-cooked dishes. Eat slowly." Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan's waist and sat down.

He and Ye Ningxuan sat at the head of the table and let Wu Wei and Wu Taotao sit opposite them.

The four of them were a good eight meters apart. When they sat down to eat, they couldn't even see each other's faces clearly when they looked up and spoke.

Wu Taotao was attracted by the table full of delicacies and didn't think too much about it.

Wu Wei's expression was extremely ugly!

In the past, he had never thought that there was a distance between him and Ye Ningxuan, but today's meal allowed him to see reality clearly.

At least Zhan Hanjue could let Ye Ningxuan eat at an eight-meter-long dining table, and he probably couldn't even provide an eight-meter house in this city.

"Wow, brother, it's really delicious," Wu Taotao said excitedly to Wu Wei, her mouth full of grease.

Wu Wei's expression darkened as he picked up a lobster for her. "Eat more if it's delicious."

"Thank you, brother. You should eat too." Wu Taotao gave him a big drumstick.

How could Wu Wei eat? This meal was torturous for him.

After they finally finished eating, the blind Zhan Hanjue actually asked Butler Wu to pack a snack for each of them. Qing Ya instructed Butler Wu to deliver it to them. "I originally wanted them to serve dessert, but I was afraid that the two of you would be full and wouldn't be able to eat anymore. Therefore, you guys might as well bring it back and slowly savor it."

"Mr. Zhan, you're too polite." Wu Tao happily took it.

Zhan Hanjue added, "I'll have Butler Wu prepare a car to send you guys back."

Wu Wei immediately said, "No need. We'll take the bus back."

With that, Wu Wei pulled Wu Taotao away with an ugly expression.

Wu Taotao only had time to turn around and wave at Ye Ningxuan before she was pulled away by Wu Wei.

Ye Ningxuan sighed softly. Zhan Hanjue's move was ruthless and vicious. Wu Wei would probably not dare to have any romantic thoughts about her in the future.

Except… why had he done so?

"Don't tell me you like me!" Ye Ningxuan asked with a smile.

Zhan Hanjue winced and then scoffed. "Dream talk in broad daylight. What a fool."

Ye Ningxuan was speechless.

"If you don't like me, why did you do this?"

"Do you like him?" Zhan Hanjue asked coldly.

Ye Ningxuan said, "I don't like him, but it should be up to me to decide, not you."

"I think you've forgotten your place." Zhan Hanjue swept his arm around her so that she tumbled into his arms.

Ye Ningxuan jumped and looked up at him in panic.

Zhan Hanjue also looked back deeply.

Ye Ningxuan was stunned. His eyes…?

"Afraid?" Zhan Hanjue said slowly.

Her pupils were still dilated. The condensation just now seemed to be a momentary illusion.

"What am I afraid of? You can't do anything to me." Ye Ningxuan coughed lightly and pretended to be calm.

"I think you've forgotten about what happened in the bathroom that day. Do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?" Zhan Hanjue's arms tightened slightly around her slender waist.

Ye Ningxuan couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and move closer to him.

At this close distance, what happened next was usually a fight or a kiss.

Apparently, they'd wanted to fight at first.

It was just that… their warm breaths intertwined. Ye Ningxuan looked at the handsome face in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but race, followed by her entire body heating up.

Ahem.

She was actually… blinded by lust for a moment.

Still …

"You're burning," Ye Ningxuan confirmed.

So she wasn't the only one whose temperature was gradually rising. He was the same.

"You're delusional." Zhan Hanjue pushed her away angrily and left.

Ye Ningxuan staggered back from the push, but she rubbed her flushed face and muttered softly, "You were burning up, but you still won't admit it. You're lying."

Still …

Was he really interested in her?

She would just ask.

Ye Ningxuan's lips curled up, and a sly look flashed across her eyes.

"Madam, are you sure that Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi is really here?"

The car drove to a residential house in the suburbs and stopped. Chen Tan got out of the car first to check. After a while, he came back and asked Ye Ningxuan suspiciously.

Ye Ningxuan curled her lips. "If you don't believe me, you can get in the car now and leave."

Chen Tan hurriedly apologized. "Madam, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't believe you, but this place…"

"Go and knock," Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly.

Chen Tan nodded and walked over to knock on the door.

A middle-aged woman quickly came out. When she saw Chen Tan, she asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Hello, we're here to see Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi." Chen Tan reported his intentions.

The middle-aged woman asked, "Miss Ye?"

Ye Ningxuan got out of the car and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm Ye Ningxuan. I've contacted Miracle Doctor Bai Zhi before."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "The Miracle Doctor is waiting inside, but… only Miss Ye and the patient can enter. No one else is allowed to enter."

"How can that be?" Chen Tan immediately said.

Zhan Hanjue also got out of the car and said coldly, "It's okay. Wait outside."

"Boss." Chen Tan was filled with worry.

Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan's waist. "It's fine. What danger can there be with my wife accompanying me?"

Ye Ningxuan smiled awkwardly and thought, 'After you say that, I'm embarrassed not to take care of you.'

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Mr. Zhan," Ye Ningxuan could only promise Chen Tan.

Chen Tan nodded and watched them enter.

After Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue entered, the middle-aged woman closed the door.

It was a small courtyard.

The middle-aged woman led them into the central room.

There was a chair in the central room. There were rooms to the left and right of the central room. There was a door on one side and a curtain on the other.

The middle-aged woman asked Zhan Hanjue to sit down and said to Ye Ningxuan, "Miss Ye, please wait on the right. I don't want outsiders to be present when the Miracle Doctor is treating you."

Ye Ningxuan immediately said, "I know the rules. I'll leave immediately."

She whispered to Zhan Hanjue, "I'll be next door. Call me if you need me."

She turned to the room on the right with the curtain. When she entered, the curtain rattled.

Soon the door on the left opened and someone stepped out.
