"Did you get it?" An Nuan asked.
Xiao Nanchen nodded, "I've sent the video and photos to your phone."
"Good." An Nuan responded calmly, as if she had expected this to happen. She said, "I'll go in first, and you come in later."
"Okay."
An Nuan got up to leave.
"Nuan Nuan." Xiao Nanchen suddenly called out to her.
An Nuan paused, "What is it?"
"Is it worth sacrificing so much for my cousin?" Xiao Nanchen asked.
Sacrifice?!
An Nuan noticed Xiao Nanchen's somber mood and smiled faintly, "It's nothing, just consider it like getting bitten by a dog."
It's all external.
For her, to save Ye Jinghuai, if pushed to the extreme, she might do anything.
Today, she had merely been slightly disgraced by Gu Yan Sheng.
As a last resort.
She would even sleep with him.
Xiao Nanchen could also see An Nuan's intentions.
Last night when they discussed the plan, he had actually wanted to stop this method, but he had to admit, this was the best way, without wasting any soldiers, and was the most effective way to see his cousin. However, the need for An Nuan to go to this extent made him reluctant.
Especially after seeing how Gu Yan Sheng had disgraced An Nuan just now...
If his cousin knew, he would probably crawl out of his coffin.
Ultimately.
For a better outcome, he still watched An Nuan and Gu Yan Sheng's interaction from the shadows.
Fortunately.
An Nuan was clever.
She was truly not violated in any way.
Xiao Nanchen said heavily, "I'm really grateful that my cousin never gave up on you from start to finish."
An Nuan frowned.
She didn't really understand some of Xiao Nanchen's words sometimes.
But she didn't ask.
She said, "I'll go ahead."
Then, she left.
An Nuan walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, took a deep breath, and didn't show an invitation. The staff didn't ask her either, probably because Gu Yan Sheng had given them advance notice, not wanting to cause a stir or unnecessary trouble.
She handed over an admission fee and went inside.
There weren't many people inside.
The Di family was after all a prominent household. Although the wedding was hyped up by the media, the actual wedding ceremony wasn't too grand. Of course, it wasn't shabby either, but rather had a low-key luxury to it.
An Nuan thought of her previous wedding with Gu Yan Sheng.
How vulgar.
How casual.
An Nuan didn't really have many emotions.
After all, Ye Jinghuai had given her a wedding that no one could surpass up to this point.
She suddenly felt that she had no regrets in this life because of Ye Jinghuai.
An Nuan walked gracefully into the banquet hall.
There was enough heating inside, so she didn't feel cold after taking off her thick coat.
She wore a gorgeous red dress, her enchanting figure instantly drawing everyone's attention.
No matter when.
An Nuan's beauty allowed her to be the center of attention.
Outshining everyone, including today's bride, Di Xinyao.
Since the ceremony was about to start, Di Xinyao had already appeared in the designated sheer canopy in the hall, thin enough to see everything in the hall, including such a dazzling woman right under her nose.
Her eyes narrowed.
Her jealousy of An Nuan was obvious.
She had never met An Nuan before, only knowing about this woman from the media and occasionally from Gu Yan Sheng's disdainful remarks. Under Gu Yan Sheng's contempt for An Nuan, she had always thought that An Nuan's so-called beauty was just exaggerated by the people of Qing City. Surely her beauty surpassed An Nuan's, otherwise why would Gu Yan Sheng not love An Nuan but her?
However, she never expected.
An Nuan's beauty was completely beyond her expectations.
She thought An Nuan's photos in the media were heavily edited, and that she wouldn't be as lively and vibrant in person.
She had to admit.
An Nuan was even more beautiful than the edited photos she had seen.
The displeasure in her heart was blatantly shown on her face.
Of course, An Nuan couldn't see it.
None of the guests could see it.
But An Nuan thought that Di Xinyao was bothered by it in the end.
In the previous life when she was imprisoned by Gu Yan Sheng, Di Xinyao had accompanied Gu Yan Sheng to torment her.
At that time, she could already see Di Xinyao's jealousy of her face from her eyes.
An Nuan sat down gracefully on one of the viewing chairs.
The gazes of the people around her gradually shifted away.
After all, they were members of high society and wouldn't be so rude as to just stare at her.
"Nuan Nuan." Suddenly, the voice of Xia Qiqi sounded next to her.
An Nuan turned her head.
She saw Xia Qiqi appear next to her with Nie Ziming.
"You actually came!" Xia Qiqi exclaimed in surprise, "I just heard someone say you were here and thought they were spreading rumors. I didn't expect you to really come, and dressed so beautifully too! Did you dress up so gorgeously to provoke Gu Yan Sheng? After all, his new bride pales in comparison to you!"
An Nuan smiled.
She didn't refute it.
After all, that was part of the reason.
Of course, it wasn't to provoke Gu Yan Sheng, but rather to provoke Di Xinyao.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm so jealous of your vengeful side now!" Xia Qiqi sat next to An Nuan, seeming very happy as she chattered on, "I used to think you were always so tolerant and patient, enduring everything. I felt suffocated for you. Now that I see you being so tough, I'm overjoyed."
An Nuan glanced at Xia Qiqi.
This girl was born without any fear of causing trouble.
She loved watching dramas unfold the most.
And she hated the most when the important people around her were wronged.
Her eyes flickered, "Nanchen."
It was Xiao Nanchen walking past them at that moment.
Xiao Nanchen paused.
He turned to look at An Nuan.
He didn't even glance at Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi deliberately turned her head to chat and laugh with Nie Ziming, completely ignoring Xiao Nanchen's existence.
"Sit here." An Nuan gestured to the seat on her right.
Xia Qiqi was sitting on her left.
Xiao Nanchen didn't refuse.
He had no reason to refuse.
Besides, refusing would seem deliberate.
He sat down next to An Nuan.
However, Xia Qiqi became a bit uncomfortable.
When she was uncomfortable, her body would subconsciously fidget.
"Is something itching?" Nie Ziming asked with concern.
"Oh, no." Xia Qiqi quickly replied, "I'm just anxious and waiting. How much longer until it starts?"
"It should officially start at 12:08, so about 10 more minutes."
Xia Qiqi nodded.
Then she forced herself to calm down.
Actually, she didn't know why she felt so awkward around Xiao Nanchen.
The last time she walked into the wrong room and almost had an intimate encounter with Xiao Nanchen, it ultimately left her with an unpleasant feeling.
