In fact,
Although Gu Yan Sheng wasn't particularly outstanding back then, he was definitely not foolish.
As long as someone provided guidance and strategies, Gu Yan Sheng could achieve great accomplishments.
Just like she did back then.
She gave Gu Yan Sheng a lot of advice, but it was Gu Yan Sheng who actually took action and excelled in many things, leaving no room for error.
She had suffered a setback from him recently, probably because she hadn't fully adapted to her changes, so she underestimated him.
Now that she knew about her transformation, she naturally became more cautious and careful around her.
Therefore, this man
is not easy to deal with.
An Nuan reminded herself to stay calm.
She told herself that even the most difficult person had to be dealt with.
There was no choice, no way out.
She picked up the documents brought back from the prosecutor's office and looked at them attentively.
For quite a while,
her phone rang.
An Nuan glanced at the caller ID, "Nan Chen."
"I've compiled and sent all the contracts I stole from your department's archives to your email. It's quite a lot. Are you sure you can manage to go through them? I heard your father's case will be resolved soon."
"I can." An Nuan nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
An Nuan hung up the phone directly.
Originally, she wanted to ask him about Nan Chen and Xia Qiqi's wedding night.
But with so many things happening, she didn't have the time to care.
She opened her computer and downloaded all the contracts from her email.
Then she started studying them one by one.
She had a feeling that the rumored one billion private transaction was definitely not groundless. It might be hidden among these contracts.
...
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Nanchen called Ye Jinghuai, "Cousin."
"Yeah."
"I've sent the documents to An Nuan, and I also sent a copy to your email."
"Good."
"Will you help An Nuan?" Xiao Nanchen asked.
"What do you think?" Ye Jinghuai replied with a question.
"I think you will."
"Then why are you asking?"
"Just to confirm if she still needs my help."
"When she needs your help, I will let you know. Right now, the most important thing for you is to take care of your injuries."
"Alright." Xiao Nanchen nodded.
"Most importantly, don't let Xia Qiqi kill you."
"..." Xia Qiqi wasn't as despicable as they thought.
After finishing their call,
Xiao Nanchen left the room.
It was already afternoon.
He ordered takeout for breakfast and planned to have lunch with Xia Qiqi.
But Xia Qiqi still hadn't woken up until now.
He knew that her sleep schedule was irregular, sometimes sleeping through the whole day, but not eating was ultimately bad for her health.
Xiao Nanchen hesitated for a long time before approaching Xia Qiqi's room to knock on the door.
Just as he was about to raise his hand,
the door suddenly opened.
Xia Qiqi appeared before Xiao Nanchen, looking lazy and disheveled.
At that moment, the disdain in her eyes was undisguised.
Xiao Nanchen shifted his gaze.
He was grateful that he was sitting in a wheelchair and didn't have to make eye contact with Xia Qiqi.
"Are you looking for me?" Xia Qiqi asked him.
"I wanted to ask you what you want for lunch. I was going to order takeout," Xiao Nanchen said casually.
"No need, I'll go out to eat by myself."
"... Oh, okay," Xiao Nanchen nodded.
Then he pushed the wheelchair and left.
Xia Qiqi glanced at Xiao Nanchen's figure.
Seeing him sitting in the wheelchair...
She clenched her teeth in frustration.
They could have coexisted peacefully.
But Xiao Nanchen insisted on being with her in this way, so she would accompany him to the end.
She turned around and went back to the room to change clothes.
She casually picked up her phone and saw that it was already 4 PM.
She had hardly slept all night, and when she finally fell asleep for a while, she was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. Upon waking up, she realized it wasn't a nightmare and couldn't fall back asleep for a while. She looked at her phone and found out that something happened at An Nuan's home. She anxiously called An Nuan and found out that An Nuan was taking it lightly, so she wasn't too worried.
Then she dozed off again.
And ended up sleeping until 4 PM.
4 PM?!
Xia Qiqi was taken aback.
Xiao Nanchen had asked her what she wanted for lunch, right?!
Meaning...
Xiao Nanchen waited for her to have lunch until 4 PM?!
No need to feel guilty.
It was Xiao Nanchen's own choice.
She had never forced him.
She even changed clothes and put on makeup at the fastest speed, not wanting to stay in this house for even a minute longer. She opened the door and was about to leave.
"Qiqi," Xiao Nanchen called out from the living room, watching TV.
Watching her hurried steps, he suddenly called out to her.
"Don't bother about me," Xia Qiqi said harshly to Xiao Nanchen.
Xiao Nanchen smiled faintly.
His smile was somewhat ironic.
What right did he have to control her?
He said, "I just wanted to let you know that I had my mother find a maid to take care of our daily lives. Do you have any requests?"
"No," she didn't care anyway.
"Does gender matter to you?" Xiao Nanchen asked again, even though he could sense Xia Qiqi's impatience.
"I don't care," Xia Qiqi said as she reached the entrance and changed her shoes.
"Okay," Xiao Nanchen responded.
As Xia Qiqi opened the door to leave, "A female one."
Xiao Nanchen was somewhat puzzled.
"A female one, someone who looks good, under 25 years old, preferably around 20," Xia Qiqi suddenly spoke up.
"There probably aren't many maids under 25, or even 20," he replied.
"If you can't meet my requirements, why did you ask for my opinion? Since you can't satisfy me."
Xiao Nanchen pursed his lips.
Xia Qiqi left directly.
The door slammed shut.
In the spacious house, there was only Xiao Nanchen alone.
Xiao Nanchen looked at the empty room.
Actually, they shouldn't have chosen such a big house in the first place.
He just didn't want to make Xia Qiqi feel uncomfortable.
He was afraid that she wouldn't like living in a cramped space with him, afraid that it would affect her breathing.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Mom."
"I found a maid, I'll bring her over later..."
"I want a younger maid."
"...," Xiao Qiang's face clearly looked a bit unpleasant, "Nan Chen, have you always been so picky, or is it Xia Qiqi's request?"
"Hmm."
"You just let her have her way?"
"It's not something that goes against my principles."
"Do you have any principles?" Xiao Qiang pressed, "Have you ever had any principles when it comes to Xia Qiqi?"
Xiao Nanchen fell into silence for a moment, then replied evasively, "I follow Xia Qiqi's requests."
"Don't you realize she's deliberately making things difficult for you?" Xiao Qiang truly couldn't understand.
It was truly beyond comprehension.
How could her handsome and outstanding son end up with Xia Qiqi, that carefree woman with no sense of responsibility?
"It's not like that."
Xia Qiqi wasn't making things difficult for him by searching for a maid. Xia Qiqi just wanted to find a woman to replace her.
