Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 500: Preparing a Birthday Gift

Lin Yue looked at Ye Ningwan leave with a grim expression.

He hadn’t expected Ye Ningwan to be so indifferent and even to call Wan Tianning.

By the time he reacted, Ye Ningwan had already left, and he quickly stood up and headed for the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wan Tianning standing outside.

Wan Tianning looked at him with deep, dark eyes, lacking the brightness and enthusiasm of the past.

After Ye Ningwan left, she got into the car and took a deep breath.

Thinking it over, she still didn’t call Zhan Hanjue to tell him about it.

After all, Lin Yue only brought it up to threaten her,

She also had to gamble, gamble that Lin Yue would give up, and bet Wan Tianning could make Lin Yue give up.

If he could give up, why bother telling Zhan Hanjue about it and troubling him?

Old Mrs. Zhan’s passing, although Zhan Hanjue was prepared for it, he was still very sad.

His smile had faded these past few days, and it made her very heartbroken to see it.

His birthday is coming soon, and it’s more important for her to prepare a good birthday gift for him.

"Madam, why are you here?"

Chen Tan looked at Ye Ningwan with a surprised expression.

But quickly added, "The boss is in a meeting, you might have to wait a bit before you can see him."

Ye Ningwan smiled and said, "I’m not here to see your boss, I’m here to see you. Special Assistant Chen, let’s talk in your office!"

"You’re here to see me?" Chen Tan was surprised.

Ye Ningwan nodded.

Chen Tan, puzzled, led Ye Ningwan to his office, and as soon as they entered, Ye Ningwan closed the door.

Chen Tan’s heart fluttered again, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

"Madam, you don’t need to close the door! If the boss suddenly comes by and sees, it might cause a misunderstanding."

He didn’t want to face the boss’s wrath.

"What’s there to be afraid of? We’re not doing anything shady." Ye Ningwan said confidently.

Chen Tan laughed awkwardly, "But the boss... he loves you so much, he might be upset."

"Special Assistant Chen, I think instead of discussing this issue, we should solve the matter quickly. Once it’s settled, I’ll naturally leave." Ye Ningwan suggested.

Chen Tan nodded, "Madam is right, Madam makes sense. I wonder what instructions you have for me?"

"I need your help with this. Read it carefully, then destroy it immediately, don’t let your boss know. I’ve heard that Special Assistant Chen has an exceptional memory, able to memorize complex company plans after reading them twice. Surely remembering this won’t be difficult?"

Ye Ningwan placed two sheets of paper on the table for Chen Tan to look at.

Chen Tan picked them up, puzzled.

He almost laughed upon seeing the title.

However, as a professional assistant, he restrained himself from laughing out loud.

Actually, the procedure was quite simple; reading it once clearly etched it in his memory.

"Madam, rest assured, I’ve remembered it."

"Good, that’s great. Now you can destroy it, do it in front of me." Ye Ningwan said.

Chen Tan nodded, immediately took out a lighter, and burned the two sheets of paper.

However, just as they were about to be completely burnt, Zhan Hanjue suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

Chen Tan was startled, instinctively shoving the remaining unburnt paper inside, trying to hide it.

Ye Ningwan was also startled, mimicking Chen Tan’s action.

Their synchronized movements almost resulted in them colliding.

This scene looked suspicious to Zhan Hanjue, making him frown and ask in puzzlement, "What are you two doing?"

"Nothing, boss, please don’t misunderstand."

"Weren’t you in a meeting, why come here suddenly?"

Zhan Hanjue: "..."

He stared at them coldly, saying, "If I didn’t trust you both so deeply, I would be worried you were doing something behind my back to betray me."

Chen Tan was embarrassed.

Ye Ningwan also laughed awkwardly.

Chen Tan quickly said, "Boss, I won’t disturb you and Madam; I’ll step out."

With that, he started to leave.

But as he reached the door, he remembered it was his office.

So he stopped, sheepishly reminding, "Boss, this seems to be my office."

Then immediately realizing what he had said, he added, "But if you want to chat with Madam here, that’s no problem, after all, the company is all yours."

"Wanwan, let’s go out." Zhan Hanjue said to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan nodded, following Zhan Hanjue out.

As she left, she winked at Chen Tan.

Chen Tan’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

Thinking to himself, my lady, please don’t do this.

If the boss sees, wouldn’t he devour me?

"Why did you come to see me?"

Back in the office, Zhan Hanjue wrapped his arm around Ye Ningwan’s slender waist and asked.

Ye Ningwan laughed and said, "I didn’t come to find you; I came to find Chen Tan, otherwise why would I go to his office."

Zhan Hanjue raised his brow but didn’t say anything.

Ye Ningwan smirked, extending a finger to trace circles on his chest.

"What, hearing that I went to Chen Tan, you’re not angry?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I’ve said I trust you both, why would I be angry? But what did you visit him for?" Zhan Hanjue’s eyes deepened, gripping her mischievous finger.

Ye Ningwan teased, "A secret, I can’t tell you yet."

"Can you tell me in the future?" Zhan Hanjue gently tightened his arms, pulling her closer.

"We’ll talk about it later!" Ye Ningwan deliberately played coy.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head, amused, but didn’t press further.

Soon, Zhan Hanjue’s birthday arrived.

In fact, he didn’t want to celebrate this birthday.

Every year on his birthday, Old Mrs. Zhan would always accompany him, prepare gifts, and send blessings.

But this year, she was gone, so naturally, he didn’t want any birthday celebrations.

With her recent passing, it wouldn’t be appropriate to host a grand banquet at home. So he had already instructed Housekeeper Wu not to hold any banquets this year and to refuse all guests.

However, while guests could be refused, the company’s business partners couldn’t be ignored.

Early in the morning, many people brought gifts to the Zhan Group’s gate, constantly reminding Zhan Hanjue that today was his birthday.

It seemed everyone remembered, except Ye Ningwan.

Early in the morning, Ye Ningwan woke up, gave him a good morning kiss, and said nothing before taking the children to school.

In fact, Zhan Hanjue felt a bit disappointed in the morning.

Although he didn’t want to have a grand birthday celebration, he still hoped Ye Ningwan would remember and wish him a happy birthday.

But until he left, he hadn’t heard Ye Ningwan’s blessing.

Perhaps, she just didn’t want him to be sad.

Zhan Hanjue comforted himself internally.

But his heart was still sour, he was gloomy all day, whenever someone mentioned his birthday, he would coldly reprimand them with a stern face.

Others thought he was missing Old Mrs. Zhan and didn’t dare think much further.

In truth, only he knew that the sadness came from not receiving his wife’s blessing.

"Boss, there’s a problem with the East District project, you need to head over immediately."

As the day neared its end, Chen Tan suddenly knocked on the door and rushed in to report urgently.
