Chapter 496: Thick Jealousy

Wen Ruan stared at the man who was walking towards her.

It had been half a year since she last saw him up close. He had really changed a lot. His well-defined features were hidden in the thin light, and he was cold and stern. His dark, narrow eyes were as cold as ice, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, like a sharp blade without any warmth.

“How is he?”

He stopped two steps away from her.

Wen Ruan’s lips moved. She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be choked by something. She was so excited that she could not say a word for a long time.

Seeing that she was staring at him without replying, his eyes turned cold. He strode into the house.

The staff’s injured leg had been bandaged by Wen Ruan and she had regained consciousness.

Wen Ruan turned around in a daze and looked at the man who was talking to the staff.

He spoke even less than before. After simply asking about the employee’s physical condition, he turned around and walked out.

When he passed by Wen Ruan, he did not stop for even a moment and strode away with a calm expression.

Wen Ruan’s heart tightened.

However, she stomped her foot in frustration when she thought about how she had lost control of herself just now.

Everything was clearly going according to her plan. Why was she acting so abnormal the moment she saw him?

Oh no, he couldn’t have mistaken her for a love-struck girl, right?

Not long after Huo Hannian left, Mo Zhan came over.

When he found out that Wen Ruan had saved her life, he thanked her several times.

“Miss Wen, it’s all thanks to you today. Shall we have dinner together later?”

Since Mo Zhan had invited her to dinner, she should be able to meet Huo Hannian. Wen Ruan nodded happily and agreed.

After treating the worker’s wound, Wen Ruan frowned as her black robe was stained with blood and smelled fishy.

There wasn’t a direct shower here, so she had to go to Oasis to get some water and take a bath in the simple shower room. Wen Ruan asked Liu Xuan to bring her two buckets of water and went to the shower room to wash up.

When she returned to her room, she took out her clothes from her bag and changed into them.

Mo Zhan and Huo Hannian didn’t set up a small restaurant by themselves. They ate together with the employees.

Mo Zhan informed Liu Xuan to bring Wen Ruan to the canteen.

“That Miss Wen, the herbal tea she brewed, not to mention drinking it makes your throat feel much better. After dinner, I’ll bring you a cup.”Mo Zhan said to Huo Hannian.

Huo Hannian frowned slightly.”Why are you letting a woman stay in the camp?””

“I made a deal with her. She gave me the formula for the herbal tea, and I let her and her bodyguard stay here for a night.”

Mo Zhan picked up his wine glass and drank a mouthful of wine. He smiled wickedly and said,” She sounds like a gentle and weak girl, but she dares to come to the desert to take an adventure and knows medicine. I’m a little curious about her!””

Huo Hannian glanced at Mo Zhan.” Tell her to leave tomorrow morning.””

Mo Zhan said,” The princess is still worried about you, so she asked me to help you see if any members of the opposite sex came close to you. I think you should freeze them to death first!””

Huo Hannian did not say anything else.

Mo Zhan played with the wine glass in his hand. When he heard the movement at the door, he lazily raised his eyelids.

Wen Ruan and Liu Xuan walked over one after the other.

Wen Ruan had changed out of her long black robe. She was wearing a mint green jacket, dark blue jeans, and black high boots that wrapped around her slender calves.

Wen Ruan’s height was not considered short among the girls. She was 1.68 meters tall. Coupled with the golden ratio of her figure, her tight-fitting pants made her legs look slender and long. The mint-green jacket also complemented her skin tone. Her small, creamy face was so pale under the light.

She tied her long black hair into a fluffy bun. A few strands of soft hair fell on her cheeks. She didn’t put on any makeup, but her lips were red and her teeth were white, making her look beautiful and delicate.

From the moment Wen Ruan appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria, the employees who were eating stopped unconsciously and looked at her in unison.

A beautiful and fairy-like woman!

When Mo Zhan saw Wen Ruan, he raised his eyebrows in amazement.” D * mn, so she’s a beauty!””

Mo Zhan had seen many beautiful women, but it was rare to see a pure and innocent beauty like Wen Ruan.

There was a sense of taboo about her, which made people easily have a primitive impulse!

Mo Zhan saw that everyone was staring at Wen Ruan and was afraid of scaring her. He slammed the table and shouted,” What are you all doing? Don’t you want to eat?”

Everyone came back to their senses and quickly lowered their heads to eat. Some of the bolder ones secretly watched Wen Ruan from the corner of their eyes.

Wen Ruan wasn’t frightened by everyone’s gazes. She walked calmly to Mo Zhan and Huo Hannian’s table.

Liu Xuan did not sit with them. He sat with the two aunties.

Mo Zhan pulled out a chair for Wen Ruan and waited for her to sit down. He smiled and said,” I didn’t expect Miss Wen to be so good-looking. You’re Chinese, right? A big star?””

Wen Ruan originally wanted to put on heavy makeup or change her style of dressing. After all, Father Leng said that she was the type that Huo Hannian hated the most.

However, after thinking about it, she realized that she would not be herself if it did not become her style.

Even if Huo Hannian fell in love with her again, she would no longer be the same person as before!

Even though the challenge was huge for her, she was a person who refused to admit defeat. The more difficult it was, the more she wanted to succeed!

Wen Ruan was no longer as nervous and flustered as she was when she first saw Huo Hannian. She raised her long eyelashes and glanced at Huo Hannian’s handsome face before her gaze fell on Mo Zhan.” If I’m not a celebrity, I’m sure you know what my major is.””

Mo Zhan patted his head and said with a smile,” It’s rare to meet a beautiful doctor. Come, let me introduce you. This is our Young Master. His surname is Leng. He’s just like him, cold and aloof. I hope you won’t be scared by him.””

Huo Hannian shot Mo Zhan a cold glance, hinting at him to keep quiet.

Although Mo Zhan was loyal to Huo Hannian, he would not obey him in everything.

For example, he told him to talk less and talk less to beautiful women.

Mo Zhan and Wen Ruan were having a great time chatting. Wen Ruan tried his best to answer every question he asked, glancing at Huo Hannian from time to time. He was indeed as Father Leng had said, he was not interested in her type at all. From the moment she sat down, he did not look her in the eye.

Just as Wen Ruan was about to find a topic to talk to him about, his phone vibrated.

Although it was far away in the desert, the Sburn family had installed a signal tower here.

Wen Ruan saw Han ‘er’s name on his phone screen.

Her hand that was holding the fork suddenly tightened.

Han ‘er, is that Nangong Han?

His relationship with her was so intimate that he called her Han ‘er?

After Huo Hannian picked up the call, he got up and left the cafeteria.

After a few minutes, he came over.

Wen Ruan could not see any emotion from his expressionless face. He did not show any signs of happiness or anger.

Even though he did not forget her willingly, Wen Ruan’s heart ached when she thought about how close he and Nangong Han were to the point of calling her Han ‘er.

Coincidentally, she overheard Mo Zhan asking her to send a cup of herbal tea to Huo Hannian later. She took the opportunity to say,” Young Master Leng’s kidney must have been injured not long ago, right? If you don’t take good care of yourself, your kidneys will be affected. I heard that you’re going to be engaged to the princess soon. If your kidneys are not good, it will affect your happiness with the princess!”
