Chapter 298: Not Simple Ye Jinghuai

Chapter 298

Elegant and romantic Western restaurant.

The waiter respectfully served them dinner.

The two held knives and forks, eating the portions on their plates.

There was only one table of customers in the restaurant.

Ye Jinghuai didn't know if he had booked the whole venue or if... it was already late at night and all the other customers had left.

"Ye Jinghuai," An Nuan called his name.

"Hmm?" Ye Jinghuai looked up at her.

No matter when, he always seemed to be listening carefully.

An Nuan remembered Gu Yan Sheng.

She remembered his perfunctory attitude towards her after they got married.

Sometimes she had to repeat herself at least three times before he would really listen.

Sometimes, he simply told her not to speak, saying he was too tired all day and needed to rest, asking her to keep as quiet as possible.

An Nuan controlled the turmoil in her heart.

She thought, probably only on the day Gu Yan Sheng dies could she fully vent the resentment suppressed in her heart.

She said, "Why didn't you call me? If you had called, I could have gotten off work early."

There was no need to guess.

She had never been able to refuse Ye Jinghuai’s requests.

Ye Jinghuai seriously cut the steak, indifferently said, "It's not like waiting for you is a day or two, I'm used to it."

An Nuan frowned.

She didn’t remember Ye Jinghuai ever waiting for her?!

Had she lost her memory?!

"Besides, you came after finishing work, didn't you?" Ye Jinghuai even seemed to think it was a matter of course.

An Nuan really didn’t understand Ye Jinghuai.

How could he wait for her like this and really not feel tired?!

"Alright." Ye Jinghuai suddenly said.

An Nuan knitted her brows.

What was alright?!

Could Ye Jinghuai stop being so pretentious.

She was really...afraid.

At that moment, she saw Ye Jinghuai suddenly stand up, and then very gentlemanly swap the steak on his plate that had been cut into small pieces with An Nuan’s steak that she had taken two bites of.

An Nuan just watched him.

Ye Jinghuai smiled, "You can eat it directly now."

Didn’t she have hands?!

And she wasn’t that fussy either.

Also, she had already eaten from the piece of steak now on Ye Jinghuai’s plate.

Yet she now saw him cut off a small piece with no qualms whatsoever and put it in his mouth.

An Nuan looked back down.

Who would miss him?!

This guy seemed always so confident.

She put the note back down.

Put it down.

Yet couldn't help but pick it up again to take another look.

Ye Jinghuai's handwriting was exceptionally beautiful, with firm strokes and flowing font.

She thought.

It was only because the handwriting was so nice that she would look it over and over again.

...

Once Ye Jinghuai left, he really was gone for a full ten days.

During those ten days, An Nuan was actually quite busy tidying up her work, so she spent most of her time focused on work.

Of course whenever she had time, she would pay attention to Ye Jinghuai's campaign trail coverage.

Apart from the local speeches to garner votes, the videos of the speeches would also be posted on the official Ministry of State website for everyone to see their prowess, after all, the people they could reach through campaign trail stops was only a minority.

An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai's and Gu Yan Sheng's number of votes on the website.

Clearly Gu Yan Sheng had been given more exposure recently. If Ye Jinghuai didn’t have his good looks to attract a group of fans voting for his looks, he would have probably long been trampled underfoot by Gu Yan Sheng.

If things carried on like this.

Ye Jinghuai wanting to win would truly be wishful thinking.

An Nuan ultimately still found it somewhat unbearable to accept Gu Yan Sheng's victory.

Reborn for another life, she wished Gu Yan Sheng would fall from power and fade into obscurity, truly unable to endure even a shred of his arrogance and smugness.

She hesitated for a long while.

In the end, she still decided not to call Ye Jinghuai.

He would be coming back tomorrow anyway, they could discuss anything then.

She didn’t want to burden Ye Jinghuai too much right now either.

Just thinking that Ye Jinghuai would be coming back tomorrow...

Her heart clearly skipped a beat.

As An Nuan closed the webpage, ready to start on the next task...

The phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, An Nuan was surprised Ye Jinghuai had taken the initiative to call.

In the ten days, they truly hadn't spoken on the phone, the only interaction being occasional messages.

Actually they didn't chat much via messages either.

Basically whenever Ye Jinghuai went somewhere, he would send her a photo of the place he was at.

Although she didn't reply much.

But every time she saw Ye Jinghuai in the photos, her heart would warm.

She picked up, "Ye Jinghuai."

"I probably won't make it back tomorrow."

"......"

She suddenly had a feeling like being struck by lightning on a sunny day!
