An Nuan looked up at Ye Jinghuai.
Looking at the little boy in the photo who was clearly the younger Ye Jinghuai, wearing a black suit with the elegance of a young master. While An Nuan in the photo, was wearing a pink princess dress, with tears still on her little face.
An Nuan had completely forgotten when this photo was taken.
Ye Jinghuai looked so handsome in the photo, yet she didn't have any impression of this person at all.
When she was little, she must have placed all her attention on Gu Yan Sheng, feeling like she had missed out on so much.
"It was at my dad's birthday party at the Ye family. Your whole family came to my house for the birthday banquet, and you got lost. I brought you back," Ye Jinghuai explained.
"..." This guy remembers it so clearly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Li YaJu seemed to suddenly recall it. She quickly said, "An Nuan was only 5 years old at the time, it was her first time at your house. Your house was so big, your dad and I were caught up socializing, we didn't notice An Nuan get attracted away by a little dog, and then didn't know where she went. I was so anxious at the time, but then I saw you bring An Nuan back. Coincidentally there was a photographer at your house at the time, who felt you two kids looked cute together, so he took a photo. Later your mom gave me the photo, praising how well-behaved An Nuan looked even when crying."
Hearing this, An Nuan seemed to vaguely recall it.
She vaguely remembered being in a very big, unfamiliar place, and no matter where she looked, she couldn't find her dad and mom, so she cried out of fright.
While crying, she suddenly saw an older boy. She seemed to remember taking the initiative to run over to him for help finding her parents.
Faintly, she remembered.
That older boy was not very approachable.
Even though she cried so sadly, he didn't seem very sympathetic.
He just calmly asked her, "I'll help you find your dad and mom, so how will you repay me?"
An Nuan looked at him tearfully with big, watery eyes.
"When I grow up, will you be my wife?"
"Okay," An Nuan readily agreed.
At that time, she would have agreed to anything.
Besides, she didn't understand what "wife" meant anyway.
Afterwards, the older boy held her hand and brought her back to the hall where her parents were.
In An Nuan's mind, it was just a small interlude.
After finding her mom, she didn't think much of it anymore.
But now...
Now she somehow recalled that scene so vividly.
She couldn't help but raise her head to look at Ye Jinghuai.
Ye Jinghuai seemed to smile and asked, "Remember now?"
"No," she didn't know anything.
She absolutely did not remember agreeing to be his wife.
Ye Jinghuai didn't expose it either.
Together with Li YaJu, they continued flipping through the photos.
The family atmosphere was very good.
An Nuan had always felt Ye Jinghuai was not very good with elders, as he looked like an arrogant loner. But unexpectedly, he interacted very naturally with her parents, much better than the refined scumbag Gu Yan Sheng.
Ye Jinghuai and An Nuan left the An family after dinner.
The two sat in the car.
An Nuan rested her chin in her hand, silently gazing out the window, somewhat lost in thought.
Ye Jinghuai leaned back in the car seat, his eyes inadvertently looking at the back of An Nuan's head.
In the quiet space...
"Ye Jinghuai, are you this nice to everyone?" An Nuan suddenly spoke up.
Without turning her head, just facing the window, she murmured.
Ye Jinghuai's eyes flickered. He said, "Is Miss An jealous?"
"No," An Nuan shook her head. "I just find it unbelievable. I always felt you didn't seem like an attentive person, yet you do a lot of things I wouldn't have thought of. Like telling my parents ahead of time that we'd be a day late going to my house. That was you, right?"
"Mm," Ye Jinghuai grunted in affirmation.
"You had Qinqin bring so many gifts in advance, that was prepared by you too, right?"
Ye Jinghuai grunted again in affirmation.
An Nuan took a deep breath. She suddenly turned to face Ye Jinghuai.
Ye Jinghuai had a smile at the corner of his lips.
"Don't be too nice to me," An Nuan said very seriously.
"Is Miss An afraid of falling for me?" Ye Jinghuai's brows raised playfully.
"No," An Nuan shook her head. "Afraid of hurting your pride."
After all, in this lifetime,
it would be very difficult for her to love a man again.
"Don't worry, Miss An," Ye Jinghuai looked completely confident. "You will fall for me."
"..." Arrogant jerk.
An Nuan felt like her kind intentions were wasted on an unappreciative person.
She didn't want to talk anymore.
The car soon arrived at Ye Jinghuai's villa.
The two entered the hall one after the other.
Heading upstairs to their rooms.
Ye Jinghuai suddenly stopped in his tracks.
An Nuan didn't notice and bumped into his back.
Luckily not too hard, just a light bump.
An Nuan took a step back.
Ye Jinghuai turned to look at An Nuan and said, "Does Miss An need a driver for work tomorrow?"
"No need. Just lending me a car is fine. It's too late now. I'll have the dealership deliver a car over tomorrow morning."
"Has Miss An forgotten that the betrothal gifts included a car that has been parked in the garage since our wedding day? The car keys are in the foyer."
"I'll pay you however much it cost. Since it's already here, I'm too lazy to buy a new car, but I don't want to take advantage of you."
"Do I look that poor to you?" Ye Jinghuai's brows rose.
"..." You're so rich you're oozing oil. "Since we have a cooperative relationship, we should keep accounts clearly..."
"Bang!" Ye Jinghuai strode into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
An Nuan jumped in fright.
This guy has quite the temper!
And he was the one throwing a tantrum over her offering to pay him money.
An Nuan was at a loss for words, also somewhat irritated for no reason.
She angrily walked past Ye Jinghuai's bedroom to her own room.
Just after entering the bedroom,
the phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, she picked up. "Qiqi."
"You still remember I'm called Qiqi. I thought after getting a husband you'd forget who I was!" She was clearly very angry.
"Haven't I been busy?"
"Busy with what, busy being intimate with Ye Jinghuai?" Xia Qiqi blurted out, obviously teasing on purpose.
An Nuan was rendered speechless. She patiently explained, "The day after the wedding I went to the Ye family, today I went back to my family. I just got back to Ye Jinghuai's villa, I haven't even sat down yet and you're already calling me."
"Meaning I called at just the right time."
"What do you want from me?" An Nuan didn't want to quibble with Xia Qiqi.
"I'm at the Imperial Majesty nightclub right now. Guess what I saw?" Xia Qiqi had a mischievous grin.
"What did you see?" An Nuan actually wasn't very interested.
"I saw Gu Yanxuan hugging a man. Say, if I took a photo and posted it online, do you think she'd still dare say I go to nightclubs to hook up... Oh f*ck!" Xia Qiqi suddenly swore.
An Nuan rubbed her ears.
In the future when talking to Xia Qiqi on the phone, she would absolutely need to use speakerphone, and not hold it to her ear.
Or she'd go deaf.
"The man Gu Yanxuan was hugging was actually Xiao Nanchen!"
Over the phone came Xia Qiqi's exaggerated screams.
