Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 668 - 658: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 3)
"You don’t have to say that; I deserve it, brought it upon myself," Xia Luo said bitterly.
Ningwan: "You can leave here today. With me around, he won’t dare to keep you anymore."
"You let me go? But where can I go?" Xia Luo asked bewilderedly.
Without the resolve for revenge and having completely fallen out with Mu Chen, where could she go?
"You can go wherever you want; it’s your freedom." Ningwan said.
"She can’t go anywhere; she can only stay here."
Suddenly, Zhan Yunxiao’s voice sounded, even before he had entered, he was already laying down harsh words.
Xia Luo’s body trembled; she looked weakly toward the doorway.
Sure enough, in just a moment, Zhan Yunxiao came in.
He must have received a call from the bodyguard and arrived in a hurry.
Because he rushed too much, his forehead was covered with fine sweat.
"This is illegal detention," Ningwan angrily reprimanded.
Facing his mother, Zhan Yunxiao naturally couldn’t continue to be stern. He softened his tone and pleaded, "Mom, I’ll handle this myself. Please don’t interfere. You’ve said I’m grown up now and won’t meddle in my affairs."
"I did say that you’re grown up and wouldn’t meddle in your affairs. But the premise is that you’re doing the right thing. If you’re breaking the law, can I not intervene?" Ningwan retorted angrily.
Zhan Yunxiao persuaded, "Mom, I haven’t done anything illegal. This is a contract I signed with Mu Chen; Xia Luo is now my personal secretary. I have the right to decide where she is all day."
Xia Luo stared at Zhan Yunxiao, stunned. To achieve his goal, Mu Chen was willing to sell her?
"What contract, without the consent of the party involved, signing a contract on your own is also illegal. She’s a person, not an object, how can you trade her at will?"
Ningwan snatched the contract and tore it to shreds on the spot.
Zhan Yunxiao: "..."
He never expected his mother would simply and rudely tear the contract.
Xia Luo also looked at Ningwan in shock, surprised at how formidable she was.
"Zhan Yunxiao, I’m putting it to you today; I’m taking her with me. If you dare to stop or release her only to capture her again, I won’t let you off easily, even if it means standing up to you in the family. After all, I didn’t just give birth to you." Ningwan sternly warned.
"Mom."
"Calling dad won’t help either."
Ningwan snorted coldly, grabbed Xia Luo’s hand, and led her away.
Xia Luo stumbled as Ningwan pulled her outside until she was sure she had really left that cage.
Breathing the fresh air outside, the spring breeze gently brushing against her face, the sun shining warmly on her skin. She couldn’t help but stop, close her eyes, and feel reborn, almost moved to tears.
"The feeling of freedom is nice, right?" Ningwan said.
Xia Luo opened her eyes with a flushed face and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you for rescuing me. But do you really not hate me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll hurt you again?"
After all, even Zhan Yunxiao, who once loved her, didn’t trust her, let alone someone she’s only met once as an adult.
"Last time, I was unprepared, so you succeeded. Do you think it’s that easy to kill me?" Ningwan said with a smile.
Xia Luo blushed and whispered, "I promise I won’t do such foolish things again."
"Would you like a cup of coffee? It’s on me," Ningwan offered.
Xia Luo nodded.
She hadn’t had coffee in a long time.
Though Zhan Yunxiao kept her there, he didn’t deprive her of food and drink.
She could tell the female bodyguards what she wanted to eat, and they would help her get it.
They asked her every day what she wanted for the next meal or wanted to drink.
But she didn’t request anything.
Having been confined in one place for so long, with no future, no hope.
Living was just breathing; for someone like her, eating and drinking didn’t matter anymore.
Since she never responded, the female bodyguards stopped asking and prepared meals according to nutrition standards.
So she really hadn’t had coffee in a long time.
Ningwan took her to a café and ordered two cups of coffee upon entering.
One with sugar, one without.
Besides coffee, she also ordered some desserts.
"How did you know I like sweets?" Xia Luo asked.
Ningwan: "I didn’t know, but you used to like sweets when you were little. Even if someone loses their memory, their interests shouldn’t change, so I thought you might still like sweets now. And having been there for so long, your mood must have been bad! Eating too much sweet food can be unhealthy, but it can cheer you up. I thought you might really want something sweet to improve your mood now."
