After signing the contract with Gu Yanseng, An Nuan restarted operations for the e-commerce project.
An Nuan was busy all day with the official launch of the e-commerce project. As expected, she ended up working overtime until past 9 pm before getting everything in order.
She stretched her lazy waist.
It was also strange.
Ye Jinghuai did not call or send a message.
Upon reflection, when she was working, Ye Jinghuai didn't tend to disturb her much.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly received a call from Xia Qiqi.
She chatted with Xia Qiqi while getting off work, “Why did you suddenly think to call me?”
"Because you never call me, so I can only call you!" Xia Qiqi sounded a bit angry on the other end.
An Nuan also felt a little guilty.
It really was because work had been too busy recently, and she often neglected Xia Qiqi.
"Where are you now?" Xia Qiqi was not one to dwell on things. She changed the topic and asked.
"Just about to get off work."
"Come to the nightclub."
"It’s too late." An Nuan rejected.
In fact, it was because she felt Ye Jinghuai was still at home waiting for her.
"It's just past 9 o'clock now."
"I have things to do tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is Saturday."
"Ye Jinghuai is back." An Nuan said straight out.
Ultimately, she just directly told the truth.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to fend off Xia Qiqi.
"Hmph." Xia Qiqi mocked, "I knew it was that Ye Jinghuai thing that has you infatuated."
"...Calling Ye Jinghuai a thing."
"It's precisely because I saw Ye Jinghuai at the nightclub that I asked you to come and catch him cheating." Xia Qiqi spilled the beans.
An Nuan was visibly stunned.
"Hurry up and come, I saw him having a wild time with Qin Jiang." Xia Qiqi urged.
There was a subtle change in An Nuan's expression.
She knew it, this Ye Jinghuai actually didn't urge her to get off work.
She thought it was his gentle consideration.
Turns out he went to the nightclub to have fun.
With immense dissatisfaction in her heart, she said to the phone, "I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, she had Hu Feng drive her to the nightclub.
Xia Qiqi put down her phone and smiled rather wickedly.
In fact, she had been observing for a long time.
Inside Qin Jiang's private room, there was only Ye Jinghuai and Qin Jiang, not a single woman had gone in, not even a server.
It was likely just two sworn brother pigs drinking together.
But she wouldn't say that. How else would An Nuan come?!
She certainly hoped An Nuan would come as well.
Being alone at a nightclub was terribly boring.
She didn't even understand why she used to like this place before.
Now looking at her former sisters going wild on stage, she felt completely out of place no matter what.
But she oddly didn't want to go back for some reason.
Always afraid to face the loneliness of the night alone.
Sometimes she would even think back to...the past abortion.
She figured that the abortion would likely become a lifelong shadow she could never erase.
She just sat there in the corner of the lobby, eyes fixed on the entrance waiting to see if An Nuan would come.
After waiting for over 10 minutes.
Xia Qiqi saw An Nuan's hurried figure.
She couldn't help but smile.
Just earlier, An Nuan kept saying she didn't like Ye Jinghuai.
Women really were fickle creatures.
Look how anxious she seemed, this was called not liking someone? This was called liking someone to death!
She hurried over.
When An Nuan saw Xia Qiqi, her expression was very serious, “You just had a miscarriage and now you're drinking at a nightclub, can't you take better care of your health?!"
"Sis, it's been 2-3 months since my miscarriage. Can you stop harping on about this thing?!" Xia Qiqi rolled her eyes.
An Nuan wanted to say something else.
Xia Qiqi grabbed An Nuan's arm, "Let's go, I'm taking you to catch him cheating."
"..."
Xia Qiqi pulled An Nuan towards Qin Jiang's private room.
This private room was truly...magnificent.
But just as they approached.
Someone blocked their way, a cold voice, not caring about offending customers, said, "Loiterers are not allowed to enter!"
"Who are you calling loiterers. She is An Nuan, Ye Jinghuai's wife. As in your boss Qin Jiang's best friend's lady, hurry up and get out of the way." Xia Qiqi said forcefully.
The man in the black suit paused for a second. He reported into the microphone at his suit collar.
Soon after.
The man in the black suit respectfully let them in.
So An Nuan and Xia Qiqi entered the private room.
The private room was very quiet inside, no music, only Ye Jinghuai and Qin Jiang sitting together on the sofa.
Then upon seeing An Nuan appear, Ye JInghuai had a teasing smile.
Qin Jiang joked, "Sister-in-law can't even stand being away from our Ye Jinghuai for a minute!"
An Nuan was a little speechless.
She looked back at Xia Qiqi, clearly somewhat annoyed.
Didn’t you say to catch him cheating?!
What cheating was this?
Xia Qiqi started breaking into a cold sweat from An Nuan's gaze. She quickly explained, "It's good that there's no cheating, or could it be that you hoped there was cheating?!"
An Nuan felt she had no way to communicate normally with Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi seemed rather nonchalant. She said to Ye JInghuai and Qin Jiang, "Better to meet by chance than never to meet at all, let's drink together then."
"Since when did we meet by chance or never meet you." Qin Jiang clearly didn't buy Xia Qiqi's pretense, "We were drinking just fine by ourselves, then you insisted on butting in."
"Yo, could you try being more manly? I took the initiative to drink with you guys, yet you reject me? Do you have some kind of illness?!" Xia Qiqi scolded Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang already had some resentment towards Xia Qiqi to begin with.
Getting scolded like this by Xia Qiqi made him want to scold her back.
"Alright alright, since you're already here, just sit down together." An Nuan quickly mediated.
Ye JInghuai also gave Qin Jiang a look.
Qin Jiang shut his mouth and said, "A true man doesn't argue with women!"
Xia Qiqi could only pout as she sat down with An Nuan.
Ye Jinghuai took the initiative to sit next to An Nuan, "Why didn't you message me after getting off work?"
"Are you waiting for me to message you?" An Nuan asked.
"I wouldn't dare disturb the lady boss while at work!"
"So then you come drink with Qin Jiang."
"My lady knows all, your husband hasn't touched a drop of alcohol." Ye Jinghuai swore.
An Nuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The husband and wife were obviously infatuated with each other.
Watching them, Qin Jiang and Xia Qiqi found them nauseating.
Xia Qiqi speechlessly picked up a glass of wine, "Let's drink."
Qin Jiang originally didn't want to drink with Xia Qiqi.
But he also didn't want to watch them flaunt their love.
So he simply started drinking with Xia Qiqi.
Speaking of women.
He had never seen a woman drink so straightforwardly as Xia Qiqi.
Whether or not considering her past relations with Xiao Nanchen, just based on her drinking personality, Xia Qiqi was decent enough.
The two went from having arrows drawn at the ready just earlier, to addressing each other as sworn siblings after getting drunk.
Watching those two patting each other's shoulders, An Nuan couldn't help commenting, "Are they long lost siblings or something?!"
"Everyone has a silly friend beside them." Ye Jinghuai said neither lukewarm nor cold as he drank warm water, "These two happen to be them!"
An Nuan laughed gleefully.
She sincerely felt Ye Jinghuai's choice of words was just right.
