Chapter 288
Ye Jinghuai carried the basin of warm water to the bathroom.
Uncle Zhong also brought bird's nest in at this moment.
An Nuan ate up the bird's nest in big mouthfuls, and was just about to go to bed when the phone suddenly rang.
She took a look at the incoming call.
Seeing Ye Jinghuai come out from the bathroom at this moment.
Hearing the sound of her phone call, his face changed noticeably, "Who's looking for you this late?"
"Nan Chen," An Nuan said.
Ye Jinghuai's eyebrow furrowed.
"I'm going out to the balcony to take the call," she said, then directly went towards the outer balcony.
Ye Jinghuai pressed his lips together.
Ultimately, he chose not to mind.
On the balcony.
An Nuan answered the phone, "Nan Chen."
"Asleep yet?"
"Thanks to Ye Jinghuai, not yet," An Nuan replied with some helplessness.
If it wasn't for Ye Jinghuai making such a fuss, she should be asleep by now.
"So I didn't interrupt anything between you two?" Xiao Nan Chen asked hurriedly.
It was clearly a misunderstanding.
An Nuan felt very uneasy, she explained, "It's not what you think."
"What is it that I think?" Xiao Nan Chen even laughed. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
Clearly not someone who likes joking around, yet now obviously teasing.
"Anyway, it's not what you're thinking right now," An Nuan didn't want to explain, feeling that the more she explained the worse it would seem. She directly changed the topic, "It's so late, why are you looking for me?"
"I wanted to talk to you about Qi Qi," Nan Chen said.
"Go ahead," she said. She also felt she should have a good talk with Nan Chen about Qi Qi.
"I met Qi Qi's father tonight. He really hopes Qi Qi will go work at Xia Bank. But Qi Qi doesn't listen to him much. I figured that in this world, other than Nie Ziming, she probably listens to your words the most. Could you try persuading Qi Qi to go work at Xia Bank?" Nan Chen asked.
"Why do you want Qi Qi to go work?" An Nuan asked back.
"Qi Qi is the Xia family's only daughter. Xia Bank will eventually be hers. If she doesn't get used to it now, how will she be able to take over smoothly in the future?"
"What you're worried about probably isn't just that Qi Qi won't be able to take over Xia Bank. What you're more worried about is Nie Ziming taking over Xia Bank for himself, right?" An Nuan brought the words out into the open.
Xiao Nan Chen was clearly somewhat stunned.
He probably didn't expect her to have this idea.
"Why don't you tell Qi Qi?" An Nuan asked Xiao Nan Chen.
"Still better than drinking and partying at nightclubs every day."
"She still goes to nightclubs frequently?" An Nuan frowned.
"About the same."
"Went today too?" An Nuan couldn't help asking.
"Mm."
An Nuan was truly furious.
Qi Qi had left the banquet early on. She had finally compromised to leave together with Xiao Nan Chen, yet unexpectedly they had parted ways after leaving together. How was that any different from her leaving alone?
"Still not back?" An Nuan felt a little angry.
"Not yet... seems to be back now," Xiao Nan Chen paused briefly then said, "I hear the sound of the door opening."
"Alright, I know what you said today. I'll advise her properly tomorrow. You should rest early too."
"Thanks for the trouble."
Xiao Nan Chen was always very polite and gracious.
"No problem. Good night."
"Good night."
Xiao Nan Chen hung up.
He also didn't get up to check on Qi Qi.
After all with his disabled legs, getting in and out of bed was difficult.
And these days Qi Qi came back this late almost every night, so he was used to it.
At this moment he had even switched off the lights in the room, and lay straight down.
Eyes closed.
The surroundings were quiet all around.
Until.
The room door was suddenly shoved open with force.
Then in the darkness could be seen a figure, rushing straight onto his bed.
Really rushing right up.
Onto Xiao Nan Chen.
Xiao Nan Chen pressed his lips together.
At that moment, apart from some sudden pain, there was also the smell of alcohol, very strong.
So Qi Qi tonight was drunk?
Right.
If not drunk, how would she possibly have come into his room?
