Ye Jinghuai frowned, "What's wrong?"
An Nuan looked at her phone in disbelief, how could it be ten o'clock in the morning already?
She usually woke up naturally around 7am.
No wonder she felt so well-rested after waking up.
She had clearly overslept.
Where was her alarm?!
Why didn't it ring?
She thought it was still early, so early that her alarm hadn't even rung yet.
Just now, she was even playing around in bed with Ye Jinghuai for a while...
"What's wrong?" Ye Jinghuai asked again when An Nuan didn't say anything for a long time.
"Who turned off my alarm?!" An Nuan turned her head to interrogate Ye Jinghuai.
She didn't even need to ask though.
It must have been the guy in front of her.
"I turned it off."
"Why did you turn off my alarm? I'm late for work now..."
"Today is Saturday." Ye Jinghuai reminded her.
An Nuan was stunned.
She just stared at Ye Jinghuai.
No wonder.
Ye Jinghuai had also slept in until now.
She pursed her lips, "I still have to work on weekends."
"Who will be responsible if you get too tired?" Ye Jinghuai asked her.
"Who said anyone would die?!"
"Stay at home properly on weekends." Ye Jinghuai's tone was domineering, with an unquestionable imposing aura.
"On what grounds?!"
"On the grounds that I will also be at home accompanying you." Ye Jinghuai was very serious. At that moment, he picked up his phone again and said, "Where were we just now?"
Then he started talking to Qin Jiang again.
An Nuan was speechless.
On what grounds does this guy get to control her actions?
On what grounds does she have to stay home just because he is home?
She suddenly remembered Gu Yansheng from her previous life.
She couldn't even remember the last time Gu Yansheng had a weekend off.
He always said he was busy on weekends too.
The little time they spent together was pitifully scarce.
It was precisely because of the pitifully little time they had together that Gu Yansheng would always remember little things, like giving her a bouquet of flowers on her birthday, giving her a bottle of perfume on their wedding anniversary, and many more... She used to always feel touched, thinking Gu Yansheng was still giving her surprises despite being so busy.
Only later did she find out, everything was arranged by his assistant.
All he needed to do was send her a timely message.
She pursed her lips and looked involuntarily at Ye Jinghuai, who was on the phone with Qin Jiang.
This guy never says anything.
But every time... he uses his actions to make her feel, warmth.
Is his flirting technique just too good, or...
like he said, does he really like her?
How could he have come to like her?
It didn't seem like she had done anything special for him.
Ye Jinghuai didn't seem like the type of person who falls in love easily.
"I know I'm very handsome, but Miss An staring at me for so long makes me shy too." Ye Jinghuai had finished his call and looked up to see An Nuan gazing intently at him.
An Nuan quickly regained her composure.
Ye Jinghuai was just taking advantage of his good looks.
He was clearly a rogue.
But somehow, she just couldn't bring herself to dislike him.
"I need to go back to my house for a bit later." An Nuan didn't plan on quibbling with Ye Jinghuai. She changed the subject.
Since she wasn't going to work today, she should go back and have a good talk with her dad about his lawsuit.
"I'll go with you."
"No need, you should just stay home and rest properly." Shouldn't a patient be resting quietly at home all day?!
"No, you need me."
"Ye Jinghuai..."
"Trust me," Ye Jinghuai's mouth curved up slightly, his good-looking lips tilting up gently, "I'm more useful than you think."
"......" No one was more arrogant than Ye Jinghuai.
In the end, An Nuan still went back to the An family home with Ye Jinghuai.
An Yanyuan and Li YaJu were naturally extremely warm and enthusiastic.
"Jinghuai, I heard you passed the civil service exam?" An Yanyuan looked overjoyed.
It was as if he had completely forgotten about his impending lawsuit.
"I didn't have much interest in the family business, but I also couldn't not have a proper career. After all, once I marry Nuan Nuan, I'll have to shoulder the responsibility of running a household. So I went to take the civil service exam." Ye Jinghuai's words sounded perfectly pleasing to the elders' ears.
Hearing this made their hearts blossom with sweetness.
In one sentence, he expressed his own career ambitions, and in the next, his love for their daughter.
Ye Jinghuai was not only good at winning women's hearts, he was also good at gaining favor from elders.
If he didn't become a diplomat, it would be such a pity and loss for the country.
"In all these years, our prestigious family still hasn't produced a politician. I'm the first to fully support you joining the elite civil service." An Yanyuan quickly expressed his stance.
"Dad, I'll work hard." Ye Jinghuai promised.
The very image of an obedient son-in-law.
An Nuan really wanted to tell her dad that this rogue had ulterior motives.
He joined the elite civil service for his own sake, not for his daughter's sake at all.
"It's so rare that Jinghuai and Nuan Nuan are back home. Can the two of you not talk about work? Is that okay?" Li YaJu dissatisfiedly interrupted their conversation, "Jinghuai, come over and try the fruit that mom specially went to the Fresh Fruit Market to buy."
Li YaJu quickly beckoned Ye Jinghuai over.
Ye Jinghuai hurriedly went over and ate a piece with a fruit fork, "So sweet."
"If you like it have more." Saying that, Li YaJu forked a few more pieces over to Ye Jinghuai.
An Nuan was right next to her mom.
Her mom's eyes were filled only with Ye Jinghuai, completely ignoring her existence.
Who exactly was the biological child here?!
"Mom, I want to eat too." An Nuan acted cute.
Li YaJu glanced back at her, "Isn't it right in front of you? Can't you eat it yourself?"
"......"
"Jinghuai, come, have some more." Li YaJu was all smiles again as she enthusiastically beckoned Ye Jinghuai over.
"Thanks mom." Ye Jinghuai gave a faint smile, appearing very polite.
At that moment, he deliberately glanced at An Nuan too.
He was clearly provoking her!
An Nuan rolled her eyes.
Did this guy have to be so childish?!
If her mom was so nice to him, wasn't it for her sake too?
What was he acting so cocky for?!
But on careful thought...
His parents were not nearly this enthusiastic towards Gu Yansheng in her previous life.
"Nuan Nuan." An Yanyuan suddenly called out to her.
"Dad." An Nuan turned her gaze onto An Yanyuan.
"The prosecutors notified that because the evidence against me is very obvious, the trial will occur in a week, which is next Friday." An Yanyuan still seemed somewhat worried in the end.
At that moment, An Nuan couldn't help but glance at Ye Jinghuai.
That one glance made Ye Jinghuai's heart skip a beat.
Was that her relying on him?
Relying instinctively on Ye Jinghuai?
She was reborn to rely on herself in this new life, wasn't that the agreement?!
"Dad, don't worry, Nuan Nuan and I already have a plan for fighting your lawsuit," Ye Jinghuai appeared very confident, "Just wait to be exonerated and released."
An Yanyuan still didn't seem convinced, "Yesterday Nuan Nuan and I looked over the evidence in the case again. I also did my own research on the case at home yesterday. It will be very difficult to clear the charges."
"There are many flaws in the case. It's not difficult," Ye Jinghuai spoke with great certainty. "You have to trust us."
"It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't want to make things difficult for you."
"Dad, we're family. If you say it's going to inconvenience us, that makes us feel distant." Ye Jinghuai was clearly still a little angry.
An Yanyuan gave an approving smile.
Earlier he truly didn't want to agree to An Nuan and Ye Jinghuai's marriage.
But at this moment, he felt extremely glad that An Nuan had found such a reliable man.
