Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 499: Are You Willing to Submit?

Old Mrs. Zhan was buried, and many friends and relatives came to pay their respects.

At the moment of the burial, Mrs. Leng cried the hardest.

It was moving; people always said she didn’t have a good relationship with the old lady, but she turned out to be so sorrowful.

It seems the rumors might not be true, and impressions of Mrs. Leng changed immediately, seeing her as a person of deep feelings and loyalty.

After the fake burial of Old Mrs. Zhan was completed during the day, Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue secretly buried the real old lady at night with trusted people.

Mrs. Leng originally wanted to come to bid farewell to the old lady, but Ye Ningwan refused her.

"You cried so hard during the day; you should rest well at home at night. If you come out and someone finds out, it might raise suspicions. Let me handle this; you can stay at home at ease."

"But I would feel uneasy not sending off the old lady," Mrs. Leng said.

Ye Ningwan replied, "Your sentiments will be understood by the old lady’s spirit. When you have the opportunity, you can pay respects at her grave."

Actually, aside from fearing suspicions, Ye Ningwan didn’t want Mrs. Leng to know where Old Mrs. Zhan was truly buried.

After all, since the burial was to be alongside her first love, the less known about it, the better, to avoid future disputes.

Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue secretly went out at night, bringing trusted people to bury the old lady in Bai Yunsen’s grave.

Mr. Bai had built a double grave; originally, Zhan Hanjue worried that major construction would raise suspicions.

Thankfully, when he brought the symbol to the person in charge of Mr. Bai’s grave, they agreed to allow construction.

Only after breaking ground did they find out that Mr. Bai had built a double grave, and one empty grave had a photo, a young photo of the old lady.

Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue were very moved; keeping a promise for a lifetime, staying loyal until death, was truly admirable.

Though life did not allow a shared bed, death allowed a shared grave.

For Mr. Bai, it was ultimately fulfilling a wish.

After the burial, Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan bowed to the tombstone, as the sky began to lighten, and only then did they leave West Mountain.

On the way back, Ye Ningwan leaned on Zhan Hanjue’s shoulder, her heart mixed with feelings, uncertain of what to say.

Zhan Hanjue was equally as complex in emotion, holding her hand, intertwining fingers.

At this moment, neither spoke, but a thousand words surged at their hearts, conveyed through their joined hands.

This matter came to an end.

Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue originally worried the two children might be scared.

After all, the two children often went to the old lady’s courtyard, talking with her.

Thinking they might need to move temporarily to a larger flat outside and move back when the children were older.

But when they suggested it, Tuantuan rejected the idea.

"I’m not afraid; Great-Grandma loved me most in life, and now that she’s gone, I won’t be scared. Plus, once people die, there’s nothing left, no ghosts, it’s all trickery, so I’m not scared at all." Tuantuan confidently declared.

Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan were speechless, realizing they’d wasted their worry.

"And Xiaxia?" Ye Ningwan looked at Xiaxia.

Xiaxia immediately hid behind Tuantuan: "Of course not afraid, with Tuantuan brother here, Xiaxia fears nothing."

However, she spoke with clear lack of courage.

If not for the panic visible on her face, Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue might have believed her.

The two looked again at Tuantuan.

Tuantuan protected Xiaxia, saying: "It’s okay, with me taking care of Xiaxia sister, she won’t be scared."

"Alright then, since you don’t want to move, we’ll continue living here." Ye Ningwan said, while patting their little heads.

However, Xiaxia still backed away unwillingly.

Ye Ningwan laughed and shook her head, not taking offense.

As there was an even more important matter waiting for her.

In a few days, it would be Zhan Hanjue’s birthday.

She wanted to give him a special birthday gift. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Unexpectedly during preparation, Lin Yue came to her door.

Lin Yue was clever, afraid Ye Ningwan wouldn’t agree to see him, so he arranged a meeting in a coffee shop’s private room under Wan Tianning’s name.

Ye Ningwan knew Wan Tianning had invited her, so she came without hesitation.

Upon opening the door, she realized it wasn’t Wan Tianning but Lin Yue.

Ningwan immediately frowned.

"Why is it you?"

"I’m sorry, sister, I deceived you, it was me using Tianning’s name to invite you out," Lin Yue apologized.

"Go ahead, what is it?" Ye Ningwan sat down, asking with a stern face.

Since she was there, she had to find out the reason.

He had been quiet for quite some time, suddenly inviting her out must mean something important.

"Sister, you’re still so clever, so I won’t beat around the bush and will say it directly. Sister, look at this, once you see it, you’ll understand everything."

As Lin Yue spoke, he took out several photos, placing them on the table.

Ye Ningwan took them and glanced at them, immediately furrowing her brow deeply.

The photos showed her and Zhan Hanjue burying the old lady, unexpectedly caught on camera by Lin Yue.

"You had someone follow me?" Ye Ningwan angrily slapped the photos onto the table.

Lin Yue said, "Sister, I’m very sorry for using such means. But I didn’t know how else to do it."

"What do you mean?" Ye Ningwan frowned again.

Lin Yue forced a smile: "What do I mean, sister, don’t you understand? I like you, from the moment I first saw you. All those years away, so many lonely days and nights, the only reason that kept me alive, made me stronger, was you. Sister, perhaps you can’t understand what being someone else’s faith brings, but you are my faith, the person I pursue with any means to obtain."

"What then after obtaining?" Ye Ningwan suddenly asked.

Lin Yue was stunned, seemingly unexpecting her sudden question.

After realizing, he rambled, "Of course I’ll treat sister well, exhaust everything I have, whatever sister desires, I’m willing to fulfill."

"You don’t even know what I want," Ye Ningwan sneered, and then slowly asked, "You’re showing these photos intending to threaten me? Force me? Otherwise, expose them to the public, ruin my and Zhan Hanjue’s reputation?"

"I don’t want it to come to this," Lin Yue said sincerely.

"Then, indeed, that’s your plan."

"Sister, would you comply?" Lin Yue asked.

Ye Ningwan sneered coldly, stood up and said, "I won’t, so go ahead publish them! Then we’ll be enemies with no mercy anymore."

"Oh, one more thing, almost forgot to tell you," Ye Ningwan stopped at the door and suddenly said, "I already called Wan Tianning, she heard everything we just talked about."
