Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 597: The CEO’s Pursuit Turns into a Crematory of Heartbreak
Xie Mingyu asked with a grim face, "Did you know all along that she hid my child?"
Ye Ningwan replied honestly, "I didn’t know. If I had known earlier, I would have persuaded her to find you, or at least ask you for some money. These past three years haven’t been easy for her. She’s been working to support herself while evading you, and I didn’t expect she’d also be raising a child. But one thing I do know, it’s not easy for a woman to raise a child alone. Whatever her reasons were back then, you have no right to blame her."
Xie Mingyu fell silent, left speechless by Ye Ningwan’s words.
"Give her some time to think about how she wants to explain things to you," Ye Ningwan added.
"Alright, I’ll give her time," Xie Mingyu agreed.
But he didn’t expect that Shangxue had no intention of explaining and took the child and ran away when given time?
Knowing this, Xie Mingyu was furious, his face turning pale with anger, and he rushed to confront Ye Ningwan.
"Didn’t you tell me to give her time? Now I did, but where is she? How did she just run off?"
Ye Ningwan didn’t expect Shangxue to run either, feeling both awkward and at a loss for words.
Zhan Hanjue wasn’t pleased, stepping forward to say, "You didn’t manage to hold onto her yourself, and now you’re questioning Wanwan when she runs away upon seeing you?"
"Zhan Hanjue, stop gloating and making sarcastic comments," Xie Mingyu, burning with anger, stepped forward to confront Zhan Hanjue.
As if Zhan Hanjue would be afraid of him?
He immediately faced him head-on.
"Xie Mingyu, you still want to fight me?"
Xie Mingyu was delicate and handsome like a girl, appearing quite frail compared to Zhan Hanjue’s tall and robust physique.
"You two are grown men, and you still want to fight?" Ye Ningwan said exasperatedly, stepping between them.
At this moment, Lin Yue came over, surprised to see the scene, and asked, "What’s happening?"
Xie Mingyu pointed at Ye Ningwan and said, "Ask her. It’s all her doing."
Ye Ningwan looked innocent, "What does this have to do with me? I’ve told you before, Shangxue likes you. It’s you who’s too proud to admit your feelings for her. After all these years of circling back, you keep searching for her whereabouts, scaring her into hiding and running like a rabbit at the sight of you. How could you blame it on me?"
"Exactly, things between a man and a woman are mutual; unrequited love is one-sided, but liking someone is mutual. What does this have to do with my sister?" Lin Yue chimed in to defend Ye Ningwan.
Xie Mingyu’s face turned red with anger.
His pale skin flushed like peach blossoms in March, incredibly attractive.
"Fine, I can’t argue with you, huh, I’ll find her myself. When I do, see if I don’t break her legs."
"Do you even like her? And you want to break her legs? It’s no wonder she ran," Lin Yue shouted.
Fuming with rage, Xie Mingyu couldn’t listen to him anymore, and like the wind, he dashed away.
Lin Yue shook his head, turned to Ye Ningwan, and said, "Sister, don’t be angry. I think he’s just worked up."
"I’m not angry, but did Shangxue really leave?" Ye Ningwan asked Lin Yue, looking at him.
Lin Yue’s eyes flickered for a moment.
Ye Ningwan saw through his lie and whispered, "There’s no one else here; you might as well tell the truth."
Lin Yue forced a smile, "She didn’t leave. Before, Ningning did something wrong to her, owed her a favor. So, she asked us to help her by keeping it a secret, and we couldn’t refuse."
"No wonder, I was wondering how she could have run so fast," Ye Ningwan said.
Lin Yue said, "It’s easy to hide someone with so much space on the island. I made Xie Mingyu believe she left, and he probably ran off looking for her again. Once he’s gone, Shangxue can come out."
Ye Ningwan nodded, sighing lightly, unsure of what to say.
Sure enough, Xie Mingyu quickly left to track down Shangxue’s whereabouts. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The entire island belonged to Lin Yue.
As soon as he left, Lin Yue knew and hurriedly went to find Shangxue to tell her the good news.
Shangxue, hiding with her son in a basement, only breathed a sigh of relief after knowing Xie Mingyu left and came out with her son.
"Thank you," Shangxue expressed her gratitude.
Lin Yue said, "You’re welcome. After all, it was Ningning’s mistake, and we should help you clean up the mess."
"Yes, since you acknowledge it was your mistake, you should indeed help me handle it," Shangxue said smoothly.
Lin Yue was startled and quickly asked, "What else do you want us to do?"
Shangxue smiled slightly at Lin Yue, "I want to stay on your island. It’s so big, adding the two of us should be nothing, right?"
Lin Yue twitched the corners of his mouth.
Thinking, having you two here isn’t much.
But staying here all the time, if Xie Mingyu finds out, it will certainly not end peacefully.
He’s a businessman and doesn’t want to engage in troublesome matters that don’t yield benefits.
"I know I’m putting you in a difficult position, but I have no choice. You’ve seen how angry our master is. If he catches us, who knows what he’ll do. He might even harm Yanyan in his anger. Could you bear to see us mother and child come to such an end?" Shangxue displayed a pitiful expression.
Lin Yue felt awkward.
Seeing the child in Shangxue’s arms blinking large, innocent eyes at him, he quickly said, "Don’t say such things in front of the child; you’ll scare him. You stay here for now, and we’ll discuss future matters later. But my sister said she wants to meet you; do you want to see her?"
"Sure, I want to meet Miss Ye too," Shangxue said.
Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
He hoped his sister could come up with a better solution, allowing Shangxue to leave with her child.
Shangxue went with him to see Ye Ningwan.
Yuanyuan had just woken up and was fussing impatiently.
This child, if she doesn’t sleep well, she cries for a while.
Her crying is different from other children.
Other kids might bawl their eyes out, but she cries softly with a pleasing sound.
Therefore, when she cries, Zhan Hanjue never gets impatient.
Instead, he feels sorry for her and holds her close, comforting her.
Ye Ningwan, however, felt a bit exasperated; if she were one or two, it was bearable, but at three, this habit seemed overly pampered.
Thinking back to when she raised Tuantuan alone, Tuantuan never had these bad habits.
So she thought it was because Zhan Hanjue spoiled the child too much, leading to her current state.
"You shouldn’t always comfort her. Put her down, and after crying for a while, she’ll stop. If you comfort her, she’ll feel indulged and cry even more," Ye Ningwan said.
"She’s so small and cries so pitifully, how can I leave her alone? If she cries, I’ll comfort her. If you ignore her, she’ll cry even more heartbreakingly," Zhan Hanjue was determined not to put his precious daughter down, still holding her close despite Ye Ningwan’s reprimands.
Ye Ningwan felt utterly helpless.
Against someone who doted on his daughter, she was utterly powerless.
