Chapter 2547: Uncomfortable Just Smelling Blood

Ning Yuan walked toward the apartment.

Her phone rang and she took it out of her bag.

Seeing that it was a call from Lu Ran’s house phone, she rejected it.

She was about to enter the building when Assistant Su’s voice sounded behind her. “Miss Ning.”

Ning Yuan turned back quickly, her dark eyes flashing. “Assistant Su?” From the corner of her eye, she saw the Bentley parked not far away.

Assistant Su reached out and a brooch appeared in Ning Yuan’s sight.

“His Highness asked me to pass this to you.”

Ning Yuan’s long eyelashes fluttered and she took the brooch, hiding her slight disappointment. “Okay.”

“Also, this is an empty cheque. You can write as much as you want. His Highness said that he cannot shortchange you.” As if expecting that Ning Yuan would not accept it easily, Assistant Su said, “If you accept it, you will have nothing to do with His Highness in the future.”

Ning Yuan’s heart trembled.

She was the one who suggested breaking up, but when she heard him asking Assistant Su to pass on the message, she could not help but feel sad.

He probably only had feelings for her because of lust and never had any feelings for her, right?

A bitter and self-deprecating smile appeared on Ning Yuan’s lips. She took a deep breath to prevent her emotions from showing on her face and said to Assistant Su, “There’s no need. I broke up with him peacefully. Besides, I didn’t lose out, did I?”

In this society, it was not necessarily the woman who would suffer if she slept with him.

With his status, she was the one who had the advantage!

Ning Yuan nodded at Assistant Su, who did not have the chance to say anything. She opened the door and walked in.

Back in the car, Assistant Su handed the empty cheque to the emotionless man in the back seat. “Your Highness, Miss Ning accepted the brooch, but not the cheque.”

Ye Yu flicked the cigarette ash and narrowed his dark eyes. “What did she say?”

Assistant Su was speechless.

“Say it straight.”

“She said she didn’t lose out.”

Ye Yu exhaled a mouthful of smoke slowly, his eyes dark. After a while, he said coldly, “Start the car.”

He did not look out of the window again, his expression dark and cold.

….

When Ning Yuan went to work at the broadcasting station the next day, she learned that Zuo Xin had been fired.

When she came to the broadcasting station with a bruised face, she bumped into Ning Yuan.

She looked at Ning Yuan like she was looking at a monster.

“You’re the one who harmed me, aren’t you?” Zuo Xin shouted hysterically.

Ning Yuan said, “If you have the energy, you should think about your future!”

Zuo Xin looked at Ning Yuan’s exquisite and beautiful face and wanted to pounce on her and tear her into pieces. But at the thought of Lu Ran, who was still in jail, she took two steps back.

That middle-aged man who had taken care of Ning Yuan was too powerful. If she hurt Ning Yuan, she might be detained like Lu Ran!

Zuo Xin had no choice but to leave with gritted teeth.

Ning Yuan returned to her office and Tiantian sent a message to her university roommate group.

Ye Tian: “We haven’t met up since Yuanyuan returned. How about we come to Crown Palace this weekend?”

Xia Lu: “Can I see the Second Prince’s beautiful face again?”

Zhang Shan: “I want to see it too.”

Ning Yuan: “I’ve been a little busy recently, so I might not be able to go.”

Ye Tian: “You still have to work overtime this weekend?”

Ning Yuan: “Mm.”

Actually, she did not need to work overtime. She had just broken up with Ye Yu and went to Crown Palace during the weekend. If they accidentally met, it would be especially awkward.

The best way to treat emotional pain was to use time and space to forget.

Ye Tian: “Alright, when you have time, @ everyone in the group.”

Ning Yuan sent a smiley face.

Ning Yuan was not a person who let herself be immersed in negative emotions. Although it was late at night and she felt like a piece of her heart was missing, she still had a long way to go. She had to live a strong life.

At the end of the month, she went to the Southern city for a business trip.

Her busy and fulfilling work made her temporarily forget the troubles of falling out of love.

When they returned to the capital, Gu Fei picked her up at the airport.

“Shall we have hot pot later?”

Ning Yuan nodded. “Okay.”

On the way, Gu Fei stared at Ning Yuan’s thin side profile for a moment. “Have you lost weight recently?”

Ning Yuan touched her face. “You’ll look better on camera if you lose weight.”

“You were already quite thin before. If you continue to be thin, you won’t look good in real life.” Gu Fei exclaimed and seemed to have thought of something. “I haven’t heard you mention that man from ONS recently. Aren’t you together? Why didn’t he come and fetch you today?”

“Let’s break up.” Ning Yuan leaned against the chair and said calmly.

“Break up?” Gu Fei had always been curious about who could enter Ning Yuan’s eyes and wanted to find a chance to meet her. She did not expect them to break up so quickly!

“He suggested it?” Gu Fei was furious. “Do men not cherish what they get? Scumbag!”

Ning Yuan coughed. “I did.”

Gu Fei widened her eyes. “Why? His skills are bad?”

Ning Yuan almost choked on her saliva. “What are you thinking? I don’t want to fall deeper and deeper.”

Gu Fei clicked her tongue. “What kind of charm does he have that even a charmer like you is afraid of falling deeper and deeper!”

Ning Yuan sighed, not wanting to talk about her and Ye Yu anymore. She changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about me. What about you? Have you ever thought of finding a boyfriend?”

“Forget it. I don’t want to be sad for men now. You know my sister, right? The other time her family introduced her to the Second Prince for a blind date, she liked him, but he didn’t like her.”

Ning Yuan was speechless. Why was the topic on Ye Yu again?

“Two days ago, my parents brought my sister to the palace to attend a banquet. She met the Second Prince and took the initiative to talk to him. In the end, she was warned by a woman called Yu Guan.”

“Yu Guan?”

“Yes, I heard that she’s the Second Prince’s personal secretary. He told my sister not to approach him. The Second Prince won’t like someone like my sister.”

“Why is his secretary so annoying? The Second Prince is not hers. I really want to know if the Second Prince will still be so nosy when he has a Princess Consort in the future.”

Ning Yuan thought of Yu Guan and her mood became heavier. “Maybe she wants to be the Princess Consort herself!”

“Forget it. If she can be the Second Prince’s personal secretary, she wouldn’t just be his personal secretary.” Gu Fei blinked at Ning Yuan. “I keep feeling that the Second Prince will like you.”

Ning Yuan was speechless.

…

In the hotpot restaurant.

Gu Fei ordered a table of side dishes.

“Didn’t you like to eat spicy food in the past? Why did you order a clear soup pot today?” Gu Fei asked.

Ning Yuan shook her head. “Maybe it’s because the weather has been hot recently and my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable. I don’t like the meat I used to like anymore. Sometimes, I feel uncomfortable when I smell blood.”

Hearing Ning Yuan’s words, Gu Fei suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Yuan without blinking.

Ning Yuan’s scalp turned numb from Gu Fei’s stare. “What’s wrong?”
