Chapter 38: The First to Fall in Love
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Ningyuan sat in Lord Zhanhan's arms while looking flustered.
She knew what she was doing, of course, and what would happen if she nodded.
"Go away."
Lord Zhanhan released his grip and stood up, causing Ye Ningning to fall to the ground.
"I haven't answered yet," Ye Ningyuan said anxiously.
Lord Zhanhan snorted. "You don't have to answer. I already know your answer."
"I didn't say I wouldn't cooperate," Ye Ningyuan muttered softly.
"But you won't be doing it willingly. I'll make you lie in my arms willingly one day, Ye Ning'er." Lord Zhanhan looked down at her.
Ye Ningning was speechless.
Her eyes shifted and she smiled. "Sure. Why don't we make a bet and see who has the ability to make the other party fall in love first? The one who falls in love first has to obey the other party unconditionally. Do you dare to bet?"
"What if you do not mean what you say?" Lord Zhanhan asked.
Ye Ningshen got up from the ground. "Isn't that easy? I heard that your company has developed a new smart wristband that can measure the speed of a person's heartbeat. When it reaches a certain heartbeat, it will automatically beep. You and I are both healthy young people with no problems with our hearts. Other than when in love, our hearts shouldn't be racing at other times."
"Chen Tan, take two smart bracelets and ask for a couple's type." Lord Zhan Han immediately called Chen Tan and asked him to send them over.
Chen Tan quickly sent the smart bracelets over.
"Connect us," Lord Zhanhan ordered.
Chen Tan was stunned for a moment. He immediately entered the information for them and connected the two bracelets together.
"If something happens to the other party, the other person's bracelet will automatically call the police. In addition to the automatic alarm, there are also many functions such as positioning and voice." After Chen Tan connected the bracelet, he told them the function of the bracelet.
"It's so advanced?" Ye Ningshen exclaimed.
Chen Tan smiled and said, "This is a smart couple bracelet that our company has recently developed. It's very popular among couples. Moreover, it has a special function. Couple's bracelets can only lock onto one couple and cannot be connected to other bracelets."
"If the couple breaks up like this, won't the other one become invalid? You can't even give it to another person if you want to. Your company's R&D staff is really smart. You can sell many more models like this."
Chen Tan smiled. "In terms of sales, that's indeed the case. However, from the perspective of a couple, this is also a good opportunity to show their sincerity to each other."
"Chen Tan found the photo. You can ask him if you have any questions," Lord Zhanhan said.
With that, he left.
Ye Ningshen was surprised that he was willing to tell her about the photo so soon.
She thought he wouldn't tell her until he'd lost the bet.
"What do you want to ask, Madam?" Chen Tan asked.
Ye Ningning said, "It's about the photos. Can the person who took them still be found? I want to see him."
Chen Tan nodded. "I'll arrange it immediately."
Ye Ningyuan heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but feel grateful to Zhan Hanjue.
Soon, Chen Tan arranged a time for Ye Ningxie to meet the person who took the photo.
This person's name was Wang Xiaohu. He was originally a reporter, but he made a mistake and was fired by the newspaper agency. He accidentally took photos of rich people having affairs. When the rich people found out, they gave him a stack of hush money. From then on, it was as if he had discovered a new continent. He focused on tracking the rich people.
However, he had finally offended a big shot more than ten years ago. He was beaten up so badly that his legs were crippled.
From then on, he no longer dared to follow and film tycoons. Instead, he became a paparazzi.
At that time, the industry of the paparazzi had just risen. He was one of the first people in it, so he made a small profit.
He was no longer with anyone. He was mainly commanding with a few of his men.
Chen Tan had used some unknown method to subdue him.
When he saw Ye Ningxie, he froze for a moment before bowing and greeting her.
"Sit down. There are some questions I want to ask you," said Ye Ningyuan.
Wang Xiaohu sat down.
He did not dare to look up at Ye Ningxie, but Ye Ningxie's appearance… made him want to look up, so he looked shifty.
Ye Ningxie said, "If you want to look at me, just look at me openly! Doing this will make you look very perverted."
Wang Xiaohu was embarrassed. He raised his head and explained with an awkward smile, "Madam, I don't mean anything else. It's just that your appearance… is very similar to a madam I photographed in the past, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
"Is she in this photo?" Ye Ningshen took out the photo and showed it to him.
Wang Xiaohu took a look and immediately nodded. "Yes, it's Madam Ye. She was really beautiful. She was even more beautiful than many female celebrities."
"Let me ask you, is there really something between them?" Ye Ningshen asked.
Wang Xiaohu quickly shook his head. "I'm not sure. I just took photos. Previously, I heard that there was something fishy going on with Lin Ruifu, so I followed him for a few days. I saw another woman, but I didn't expect to see him dating Madam Ye, so I took two photos."
"Then have you ever blackmailed anyone with these photos?" Ye Ningshen's expression was solemn.
Wang Xiaohu nodded. "I was going to ask Lin Furui for money. When that guy saw the other woman I took, he did panic. He quickly transferred the money and bought all the photos. However, I took out this photo and showed it to him while asking him to give me another sum of money. After he saw it, he sneered and said that he wouldn't give me money no matter what. He even asked me to take the photo to his wife. I don't even know what he was thinking. When he saw the previous photos, he was scared to death, but this photo didn't matter to him."
"So, you took the photograph to his wife?"
"I did. He was so arrogant at that time. I was so angry that I sent the photo to his wife. At that time, I tried to see if she was willing to give me money. I didn't expect her to be willing to give me money and ask me to keep this secret no matter what. These two are really funny. However, I later heard that Madam Ye died in a car accident. What a pity. She was so beautiful." Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a sigh.
Ye Ningning's gaze darkened.
Therefore, Mrs. Lin also knew about this photo.
When she saw her husband holding her best friend's hand,how did she feel?
Ye Ningyuan sneered and closed her eyes. Some things were gradually surfacing.
She had some inkling of the truth.
"Do you have any more copies of this photo?" Ye Ningshen asked again.
Wang Xiaohu shook his head. "No, not long after, my house was ransacked. Many photos were destroyed, and my legs were broken. I still think this photo was taken too well. This lighting, this background, especially Madam Ye, tsk tsk tsk, they're all so beautiful that they can't be replicated. If it weren't for the fact that she was dead, I would have taken it to the photography competition and won the award. At that time, I printed an extra photo and put it in my wallet. That's how I was able to keep it. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to keep this one."
"I understand. Don't tell anyone else about this. What we said today will rot in your stomach. If I find out that you spouted nonsense outside and offended the Zhan family, consider the consequences carefully." Ye Ningxie threatened coldly.
