Chapter 336
In the sedan car.
An Nuan's lips were swollen.
She stared at Ye Jinghuai, looking at a certain person with a satisfied expression.
He even said shamelessly, "You didn't lose anything at all."
She had lost terribly.
And he said she didn't lose anything.
Not to mention their previous life.
Just in this life, she was really as white as a piece of paper.
However, look at Ye Jinghuai...
She couldn't even count how many women he had with all her ten fingers.
That was just the exposed ones.
Who knows how many more undiscovered ones there were.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
An Nuan simply turned her head to the side, ignoring Ye Jinghuai.
Ye Jinghuai was actually in quite a good mood.
Seeing An Nuan huffing angrily like that, he didn't make things too difficult for her either.
He just let An Nuan look out the window like that.
While he looked at her.
The sedan car arrived at Heye Home-style Restaurant.
The two of them walked in one after another.
As soon as they walked in, they saw Xia Qiqi already sitting there.
An Nuan doubted whether this girl even went to work properly.
She was always punctual whenever they met up, almost excessively so.
"I've been waiting for you guys for so long, I'm starving," Xia Qiqi was casual with everyone.
Including Ye Jinghuai.
Without even greeting him, she acted like they were old friends.
Ye Jinghuai didn't have any good feelings towards Xia Qiqi either, so he didn't respond to her and just sat to the side.
"Oh right, you said a friend of Ye Jinghuai would come too? Where is he?" Xia Qiqi was silly and oblivious, completely unable to tell that Ye Jinghuai disliked her.
"Hu Feng went to park the car. Qin Jiang and... should be here soon." An Nuan didn't tell Xia Qiqi that she had invited Xiao Nanchen.
If she had told her, Xia Qiqi would probably have slammed down her chopsticks and left.
"Call to hurry them up a bit," Xia Qiqi complained a little, "Making us wait to eat, how unenthusiastic."
An Nuan was just about to call when the room door was respectfully opened by a server.
Xia Qiqi turned to look, her previously high spirits instantly changing her expression the moment she saw Xiao Nanchen.
Xiao Nanchen noticed it too.
Then he pretended not to have seen anything.
"Why did you invite Xiao Nanchen?!" Xia Qiqi's voice wasn't loud, but it definitely wasn't quiet either.
Everyone in the room could hear it.
Including Xiao Nanchen and Qin Jiang, who had just walked into the room.
Just as Xia Qiqi was about to refuse, she saw Ye Jinghuai pick up his wine glass and say to Xiao Nanchen, "You can't drink much."
"I know," Xiao Nanchen nodded.
"You two know each other?" Xia Qiqi asked.
She somehow felt like their relationship was out of the ordinary.
"Of course we know each other. How could I possibly not know An Nuan's best friend?!" Ye Jinghuai spoke matter-of-factly.
"Isn't An Nuan's best friend me?" Xia Qiqi looked completely serious.
"That's why I know you too, don't I?"
Xia Qiqi froze for a bit.
She felt like Ye Jinghuai made sense somehow.
Yet also that something was off.
Before she could think it through, Ye Jinghuai suddenly downed his wine in one go.
Xia Qiqi quickly followed suit.
As did Xiao Nanchen.
At the table, they were basically all drinking.
Initially they all drank together, taking turns toasting each other.
But later, it became just Xia Qiqi and Qin Jiang's show.
It was like a competition to see who would admit defeat first.
The two kept egging each other on ceaselessly with no end in sight.
An Nuan knew Xia Qiqi and Qin Jiang were most likely to hit it off.
The two were drinking so crazily they were making a scene.
"Don't worry, you know Xia Qiqi's alcohol tolerance. Even if she does get drunk, she'll be bright and chipper the next day. No need to worry," An Nuan said to Xiao Nanchen.
By now, Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen had swapped seats.
Which meant Xiao Nanchen was sitting next to An Nuan, while Xia Qiqi was sitting next to Qin Jiang.
Xiao Nanchen nodded slightly.
But really, what use was his worrying? Xia Qiqi wouldn't listen to him anyway.
"Eat more dishes, I purposely ordered some non-spicy ones," An Nuan said.
"He Ye was your suggestion right?!" When Xiao Nanchen found out about Xia Qiqi meeting up to eat, his first thought was An Nuan must have been behind this. Hearing it was this restaurant confirmed his guess.
An Nuan just smiled faintly, neither affirming nor denying it, "When Qiqi falls in love with you, she'll consider you more too."
Xiao Nanchen also smiled a little. After all, Xia Qiqi loving him truly felt like wishful thinking.
"There will be such a day," An Nuan said affirmatively.
Xiao Nanchen nodded rather perfunctorily.
He probably didn't allow himself to expect too much.
Dinner ended after 10pm.
By then, Qin Jiang and Xia Qiqi were both drunk.
Despite clearly not getting along usually, once drunk they were calling each other sworn brothers. There was a feeling that they regretted not having met sooner.
The two were arm in arm, reluctant to part.
In the end, they even became sworn brothers right in front of everyone.
An Nuan reckoned that the two would probably regret this tremendously once they sobered up!
