Mother Qin, carrying a plate of bright red cherries, quickly walked out. She pulled on An Ning's hand, asking her to taste the cherries. An Ning didn't know how to refuse, so she was in a deadlock for a moment.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Why are you here?!" An Fu was the first to arrive. When she saw An Ning, her expression changed. The smile on her face instantly disappeared as she stared at her with vigilance.

"Fine, you little slut, you still dare to come here? Relying on your cold attitude, you always let people target Anfey and me. See, I won't tear off your face." Bai Qingyan walked in as well, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she shouted. She tossed the bag she was carrying onto the ground and was about to rush forward to hit An Ning.

Terrified by their auras, An Ning didn't react for a moment. She stood rooted to the ground, looking as if she were about to be hit by Bai Qingyan. Suddenly, Mother Qin pulled An Ning behind her, causing her to flop to the air.

"Get out of the way! "A servant dares to kick his nose in the face?!" Bai Qingyan glared at her mother while cursing. She turned around and stretched out her hand, wanting to pull An Ning who was being protected by her mother.

"Qingyan!" What are you doing?! " When Father An heard the commotion, he immediately rushed over and stopped Bai Qingyan in her tracks with an angry roar.

"Get over here! "An Ning, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of your mother. You should leave first!" Father An said apologetically as he looked at An Ning.

Nodding her head, An Ning didn't even spare a glance for Bai Qingyan and her daughter. She bid farewell to her mother and left.

It wasn't until they were in the car that An Ning let out a long breath and relaxed.

The other day, An Ning called Jiang Jia Han. She had clearly said to keep her distance, but she hadn't thought that she would still take the initiative to call him. What a slap in the face.

"An Ning?" When she received the call from An Ning, Jiang XiHan was clearly excited, and her tone was full of pleasant surprise. Even An Ning could feel her smile coming from her phone.

Ever since he divorced An Ning, Jiang Xian Han hadn't received any calls from An Ning. If he didn't take the initiative, Jiang Xian Han even suspected that the two might have lost contact with each other.

Actually, Jiang Jia Han was currently in a meeting, and when the phone vibrated, he took it out and was about to hang up. Actually, Jiang Jun was currently in a meeting, and when the phone vibrated, he took it out and was about to hang up.

Everyone who was left in the meeting room by their own CEO Jiang was completely dumbfounded. Was that man with a gentle smile really Director Jiang, who was usually cold and ruthless, surrounded by a low pressure akin to an icehouse? employee A kneaded his cheek in a daze. Only after feeling a burst of pain did he confirm that he was not dreaming.

"Yeah, are you busy right now? I have something I want to talk to you about." He didn't know why, but hearing the cold voice of Jiang Jia, An Ning was a bit embarrassed, and her words also became awkward.

"I'm not busy, go ahead!" Jiang Jia replied hurriedly.

"Have you been making things difficult for Anfey and the others recently?" An Ning tried her best to soften her tone, making it seem less like an interrogation. She also knew that Jiang Xianxian would do it for her own sake.

"How do you know?" Her pitch-black eyes narrowed dangerously. Could it be that the mother and daughter pair went to look for An Ning again? If it really was like this, then he would definitely make them suffer a more tragic fate than just a simple threat right now.

Jiang Jia Han's reply was tantamount to admitting it. An Ning's face showed helplessness.

"Someone told me to let them go, so don't make things difficult for them anymore."

"Why? Did they come to threaten you? " Jiang Jia's tone became colder and colder, only now did An Ning know that Jiang Jia Han had misunderstood her, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, but was forced to tell her father.

"Dad said something to me yesterday. I'm too lazy to argue with Anfey and the others. Forget it."

Jiang Jia pondered for a while, and then slightly raised the corner of his mouth into a smile. A bright light flashed across his eyes.

"It's fine to let them go, but …" Jiang Jia Han dragged his voice out to keep the conversation in suspense, and only when An Ning's mood had been raised did he speak up with a sly smile, "But if you come out and treat me to a meal, then I can let them go."

An Ning took the initiative to deliver herself to him. Jiang XiHan had to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity. Although this kind of request seemed a bit despicable, in order to meet An Ning, he couldn't care less.

The first thought that came to An Ning's mind was to refuse. She said that they had to keep their distance, what was the point of going out to eat alone?

Before she could say anything, An Ning recalled her father's aged expression today, as well as the words he had begged her to say. The words he had refused stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken.

"..." "Fine."

"Then it's a deal, I'll come pick you up at 7 o'clock tonight!"

An Ning only had enough time to say goodbye before the phone was hastily hung up by Jiang Jianxin, as if she was afraid that An Ning would go back on her word.

An Ning was still thinking about how she should explain to Xu Wang that she was going out for dinner today. Before she could think of a good reason, she received a call from Xu Wang saying that the studio wouldn't be able to return today, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

At seven o'clock, An Ning saw Jiang Jia's cold car stop in front of the Xu Weng villa's entrance and hurried over. Jiang Han walked over and opened the car door, and even covered An Ning's head with his hands, until An Ning was seated, then Jiang Jia Han went around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.

"Has it been a long time? Why didn't you knock on the door and call for me? " An Ning smiled unabashedly as she pulled on her seatbelt and fastened it.

"It's only right for you to be late." With a cold smile, Jiang Jia threw down a joke and skillfully started the car.

It was the peak hour of the day, and they had to walk for an hour before they arrived. Jiang Jia braked coldly and the car parked safely in front of the Defiance Inn.

An Ning's expression twisted for a moment. The last time she came here was Jiang Jia's engagement banquet. Such a memory couldn't be described as pleasant.

Jiang Jia Han was very excited to be able to come out with An Ning for a meal. He tossed the car keys to the young man in the parking lot. With a gentle smile, he gestured for him to get out of the car.

Hiding their emotions, An Ning and Jiang Xianhan walked into the hotel side by side. Under the arrangements of the waiter, they sat down at the best place that Jiang Xianhan had reserved in advance, next to the French windows, surrounded by greenery. Although it couldn't block the view of the outside, it still isolated a relatively private environment.

Just like before, Jiang asked for An Ning's opinion, then took up the menu and ordered the dishes familiarly. Every one of them was An Ning's favorite food.
