Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Want to live next door to you (1)_1

Upon returning, Zhang Te’s assistant immediately reported to Han Jingnian his findings, "The lady has planted a variety of plants in the backyard; it must be a recent effort as some have just started sprouting. There were also many rose bushes, looking freshly planted and a bit listless. But, the lady has provided climbing frames for all these plants and flowers; given how she meticulously tended to the backyard, I would say she plans on living here for the long run..."

As the assistant’s words took hold, Han Jingnian’s expression quickly cooled.

Zhang Te’s assistant instinctively ducked behind Xie Lin: "Boss Han, it’s not that I want to put it this way, it’s just my observations..."

Han Jingnian pursed his lips and stared at the small villa, its lights glowing, in front of him. After a while, he finally spoke: "She can’t stay here; she needs to come home with me..."

Saying that, Han Jingnian pulled open the car door and made to get out as if planning to knock on the door and take her home: "I need to bring her home..."

"Calm down, Boss Han!" Zhang Te’s assistant stopped Han Jingnian without worrying he might become a casualty of Han’s fury. "Think about it, Boss Han, why did the lady run here to live in the first place? She obviously wants to get away from you. If you insist on taking her back, she can still leave. What will you do if she hides in a new place and you can’t find her? You surely can’t just prohibit her from leaving and arrange for someone to watch her 24/7?"

The assistant’s words seemed to return some rationality to Han Jingnian.

"Boss Han, I think what you need to do now is take care of your health and find a time to have a good talk with the lady. Rushing over to drag her home would only escalate the conflict..."

Feeling his word might not carry enough weight, Zhang Te’s assistant glanced at Xie Lin who had been reading a medical report since he got into the car: "Dr. Xie, am I right?"

Xie Lin, his gaze never leaving the documents in his hand, pushed up his glasses. Apparently, he had no idea about their conversation, but nevertheless chimed in: "Yes, correct."

Zhang Te’s assistant didn’t say anything more, but looked at Han Jingnian as if to say: you see, even Dr. Xie supports my idea.

However, Han Jingnian completely ignored Zhang Te assistant’s expectant gaze. After another contemplation at the villa before him, he immensely unwillingly closed the car door after a long while.

It became quiet inside the car. Han Jingnian stared at the villa through the car window for a while before reaching into his pocket to pull out his cell phone. He dialed Xia Wan’an’s number, but it was hung up as soon as it connected.

The tension in the car was palpable.

Han Jingnian stubbornly dialed again and was rejected once more. He could only resort to taking Zhang Te’s cellphone and sent a message to Xia Wan’an in Zhang’s tone: "Madam, Boss Han wants to see you; he wants to talk to you."

Quite a while later, the phone remained silent.

The tension inside the car continued to rise. Han Jingnian sat still staring at the phone.

Just as Zhang Te and Xie Lin couldn’t bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer and were about to get out of the car to get some air, Zhang Te’s cell phone finally got a response.

Xia Wan’an replied: "I don’t want to talk to him."

Han Jingnian opened his mouth, instinctively typed a response.

But before he could finish typing, another message from Xia Wan’an arrived: "Unless it’s about a divorce."

Reading the last two words, Han Jingnian’s face hardened.

Divorce? No way! He would never divorce her in this lifetime!

His chest heaving drastically, his grip on the cellphone tightened. He looked flustered and angry, his eyes red and pupils contracting.

Zhang Te and Xie Lin were so frightened by this sight of Han Jingnian that they both retreated to the back of the limousine.

Just when they thought Han Jingnian was going to smash his phone, Han Jingnian suddenly broke his silence. His voice was unusually calm, even carrying a hint of resignation and helplessness, "Isn’t there a vacant villa next to hers? Contact the owner right away, purchase it no matter the cost."

P.S.: Xia Wan’an baby: Just sitting at home, and two hundred million fell from the sky?
