Chapter 507
Xia Qiqi followed Nie Ziming back to the car.
The car was a bit quiet.
Xia Qiqi was unusually silent.
Nie Ziming drove, and several times, he wanted to say something but chose to remain silent.
Now, there was some awkwardness between him and Xia Qiqi.
He was also worried that Xia Qiqi would question him about why he didn't sleep with her.
So, most of the time, he preferred to stay silent.
The car drove on and off on the highway.
Nie Ziming's phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, connected the Bluetooth, "Hello."
"This is Xiao Nanchen. Come to my office when you reach the company."
Nie Ziming's expression changed slightly.
He had always been resentful about the fact that Xiao Nanchen was his superior.
"Okay." He answered briefly.
The call ended.
Xia Qiqi also noticed the change in Nie Ziming's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Nanchen wants me to go to his office when I get to the company."
"What for?"
"He didn't say."
"Are you going to drop me off first?" Xia Qiqi looked at the direction of the car.
"I'll drop you off first."
"No need, I'm feeling much better now. Let's go to the company first," Xia Qiqi said directly.
Nie Ziming turned to look at Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi appeared calm, "I don't want to delay your work, and my father doesn't believe that I was sick, so I need to go to his office and make it clear to him."
"...Okay." Nie Ziming nodded.
His suppressed emotions were churning endlessly.
He knew very well that Xia Qiqi's feelings towards Xiao Nanchen were gradually changing.
And he absolutely wouldn't let that happen.
He drove silently, without betraying his emotions.
The car arrived at Xiahui Bank.
"Until the very end, no one knows the outcome," Xiao Nanchen didn't say much. "I called you here to make you consider the stake matter carefully. Let me know when you've made your decision. You can go now!"
Nie Ziming's face darkened.
As he was about to leave, he said, "Xiao Nanchen, are you really not holding onto any lingering feelings for Xia Qiqi?"
"None," Xiao Nanchen said resolutely.
Nie Ziming scrutinized his expression but couldn't read anything from Xiao Nanchen's face!
He had always looked down on Xiao Nanchen, thinking he was useless.
But now it seemed that this man was far from simple!
...
Tuesday.
An Nuan felt a bit sad.
Because Ye Jinghuai would be leaving again early tomorrow morning.
The days they spent together always seemed shorter than she imagined, yet the separations felt like an eternity.
An Nuan sat at An's Group and called Ye Jinghuai.
"Wife," Ye Jinghuai called her, his tone casual and natural.
An Nuan had grown so accustomed to it that she didn't even blush anymore.
"Will you be working late tonight?"
"No," he said directly, "but there's a departmental dinner. There might be a second round, so I'll try to come back early."
"Oh." An Nuan clearly sounded disappointed.
She had thought that since Ye Jinghuai would be leaving tomorrow, they could spend a nice evening together tonight, and she wouldn't work late either.
But this guy had a dinner to attend.
"My flight is at 10 a.m. tomorrow, so I can still drop you off at work before heading to the airport," Ye Jinghuai could clearly sense An Nuan's disappointment.
So he reassured her.
Ye Jinghuai wouldn't leave before she woke up tomorrow.
She was a bit curious, "Why is your flight so late this time?"
"Because I can't bear to leave you," he said.
"So you could bear to leave me before?" she teased.
"No..." Ye Jinghuai paused, "You'll know the reason later."
"..." She hated it when men were evasive.
At that time, An Nuan felt that Ye Jinghuai was just brushing her off.
She had never imagined that he had his own reasons.
