Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 455: Insisting on Squeezing Together
Zhan Hanjue was filled with suspicion about Lin Yue’s return, and there was a persistent unease in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Ningwan could only comfort him: "It might just be a phase for kids, boys, you know. He was so down and out back in the day, and now that he’s returning in glory, it’s normal to create some buzz. Don’t overthink it. Isn’t it better that it’s Lin Yue? Better than a total stranger. He’s investing in this project, so you don’t need to worry about any issues. In fact, he’s actually helping us out. He knows gratitude and hasn’t forgotten how we helped him before."
"Is he really back to repay kindness in this way?" Zhan Hanjue said.
Ningwan shrugged: "Otherwise, is he back for revenge? We’re not his enemies."
"Back then, I was the one who forcibly sent him abroad," Zhan Hanjue reminded.
Ningwan laughed and said: "You did it for his own good at the time, even if he didn’t understand it then. But now that he’s grown up, he gets it. What, are you worried he’ll hold a grudge? You’re overthinking it. That’s absolutely impossible. Even if he’s mad about being sent away back then, he won’t come looking for revenge. Ye Shao and I are his brother and sister; Lin Yue isn’t that heartless."
"Maybe I’m overthinking it," Zhan Hanjue said.
Just then, there was a "knock knock knock" on the car window outside.
Ningwan quickly opened the car door, and Lin Yue smiled, saying: "Sister, I’m here."
"Get in the car quickly, Chen, drive," Ningwan smiled as she beckoned Lin Yue into the car.
However, she thought Lin Yue would sit in the front passenger seat.
After all, the back seat was taken by her and Zhan Hanjue.
Of course, there was still one seat left in the back.
But squeezing three adults in the back was really quite cramped.
Anyone with a bit of consideration wouldn’t squeeze together in the back.
Yet, Lin Yue got in anyway.
He even got in from Ningwan’s side, squeezing Ningwan into the middle.
Ningwan: "..."
She awkwardly smiled and asked Lin Yue: "Do you have something you want to say to your sister?"
Actually, sitting in the front passenger seat would still allow them to talk.
She couldn’t figure out why he had to squeeze in the back.
"Yes, I have a lot I want to say to my sister," Lin Yue nodded.
"Go ahead and say it!" Ningwan laughed awkwardly.
Lin Yue smiled shyly, a bit embarrassed: "But I don’t even know what to say. I have so much to tell my sister, but I don’t know where to start."
"Take your time then, no rush," Ningwan patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Lin Yue nodded.
But with the three of them sitting there silently, it was awkward not to talk.
Ningwan had to find a topic to start with: "What were you talking about with Wan Tianning just now? Do you two know each other?"
"You mean that actress? I met her once abroad before. I helped her out with something small, so she came over to thank me. I heard she’s in the same company as Ye Shao. I asked her to look after him a bit since he’s just entered the industry and could use some guidance. Oh, and I’m planning to invest in a film with Ye Shao as the lead actor."
"Don’t you think that actress just now looks a lot like me?" Ningwan asked.
Lin Yue shook his head: "I don’t think so. Does she look like you, sister? I didn’t notice. To me, you’re one of a kind."
"I didn’t expect your words to get sweeter as you grew up," Ningwan laughed.
Listening on the side, Zhan Hanjue’s face darkened, and unease surged in his heart again.
He cleared his throat, reached out an arm to embrace Ningwan, making her lean towards him to create some distance from Lin Yue.
Then, he actively started a business topic to chat with Lin Yue. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Lin Yue didn’t show any displeasure and engaged in the conversation with Zhan Hanjue enthusiastically.
Finally, the car arrived back at the Zhan Family’s residence.
Since Lin Yue came to stay suddenly, Ningwan personally organized a room for him and changed the guest room’s bed linens.
"Tonight was unexpected, so just make do for now. If you need anything, let me know, and I’ll get you new things tomorrow," Ningwan said after tidying up.
Lin Yue nodded: "It’s already great. As long as I can stay with my sister, I’ll be happy with anything."
"You’re just as understanding as before," Ningwan patted his shoulder and reminded him to rest well.
However, just as she was about to leave, Lin Yue suddenly called out to her.
"Sister."
"Anything else?" Ningwan turned back.
Lin Yue said: "Tomorrow, I want to visit my mom’s grave. I wonder if you have time to go with me."
"Of course, I have time. I’ll go with you. I haven’t visited Miss Ke in a while either; we can go together," Ningwan said.
Lin Yue nodded, softly watching Ningwan leave.
When Ningwan returned to her room, Zhan Hanjue embraced her as soon as she walked in.
He leaned his head, slightly aggrieved, on her shoulder: "I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight and would keep chatting with him."
"What are you saying? It’s not like he’s a girl. If he were a sister, I’d stay and chat, but he’s a guy; how could I stay?" Ningwan patted him, blaming him for talking nonsense.
"Wanwan, do you think maybe Lin Yue lacks motherly love since he was little and sees you as his mom? I feel like he has an unusual attachment to you," Zhan Hanjue said.
Ningwan thought for a moment: "Maybe. He was abandoned at the orphanage since he was young, and Ye Shao raised him. I took care of him for a while, so it’s normal for him to feel close to Ye Shao and me. What, are you jealous? He’s Lin Yue, the little brother I watched grow up, and you’re jealous?"
"How could I be jealous of a kid? I’m not jealous. I just missed you," Zhan Hanjue denied being jealous and quickly kissed her fair neck, trying to change the subject.
Sure enough, with his actions, Ningwan felt ticklish and couldn’t help but laugh.
She dodged while saying: "Don’t mess around, I haven’t showered."
"I don’t mind."
Zhan Hanjue muttered and picked her up, kissing her as he walked to the bathroom.
The next morning, Zhan Hanjue and Ningwan got up.
When they went downstairs, they saw Lin Yue had already returned from his run.
Wearing athletic pants and a tank top, he was drenched in sweat from the run.
He looked skinny in a suit, but he was muscular and had quite a good physique.
He wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and greeted Ningwan: "Good morning, sister. Good morning, Mr. Zhan."
"Mm, good morning. Out for a run so early?" Ningwan asked.
Lin Yue said: "It’s a habit. I’ve been going for a run every morning to keep fit. You, being a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, must also advocate for healthy exercise, right?"
"Of course, exercise is a good thing. It seems your years of training have paid off. You were as thin as a little chick, looking malnourished before. Now..." Ningwan sized him up and praised: "You’ve changed; I’m sure many girls like you now."
"Does sister like it?" Lin Yue asked with a smile.
