He had only been away for two or three days. What was wrong with that?

Especially the few female colleagues who usually disliked An Ning, their mouths were filled with sarcasm and mockery.

"There are some people that I really don't understand. They don't know what kind of person they are either. All they do is have unrealistic fantasies."

Another female colleague echoed, "That's right, why would such an outstanding person like Director Jiang fall for her? It's just for fun."

An Ning naturally knew that some of the people they were referring to were herself. However, she was familiar with their temperaments, so she didn't pay much attention to them.

In any case, these women only gossiped about it all day, and they were jealous to the point of not liking others better than they were.

Seeing An Ning's unconcerned expression, Luo Yan, who was standing at the side, became anxious. She hastily pulled An Ning to the side. An Ning was stupefied.

"How come you're not in a hurry at all?"

"What?"

Even if An Ning hadn't expressed to Luo Yan the relationship between her and Jiang Xianxin, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that An Ning and Jiang Xihan were definitely not ordinary.

"Director Jiang and Ji Mingzhen are engaged."

An Ning was instantly shocked, but she immediately smiled. Before this rumor spread, her first reaction was to believe in Jiang Jia.

Luo Yan saw that An Ning didn't believe her. She was impatient, so she stomped her feet and said, "It's true. They've already bought the wedding rings."

"Impossible." An Ning took two steps back in disbelief. Before Luo Yan could continue, An Ning had already rushed to the door of Jiang Xiao Han's office.

Lu Yan was about to greet An Ning when he saw her. However, An Ning had already pushed open the door and rushed in. An Ning was disappointed that Jiang Xianxing wasn't in her office.

She walked out and asked Lu Yan, "Where did Jiang Jia go?"

Lu Yan couldn't help but feel sympathy for Jiang Xiushan for two seconds in his heart. If it was added between his mother and his wife, he would be completely humiliated.

Lu Yan was already prepared. "The CEO is going to a meeting at the branch office today, so he isn't here right now. Madam, do you need anything?"

"When will he be back?"

"I don't know about that."

An Ning silently walked away. Not here? It didn't matter, she would come back eventually. She had to hear Jiang Jia personally tell her about his relationship with Ji Mingzhen.

Seeing that An Ning had left, Lu Yan hurriedly sent a message to Jiang Jia — "Madam just came to find you. She has already left."

After receiving the news, Jiang Jia Han sighed. He already knew that An Ning would come looking for him. To be honest, he really didn't know how to face An Ning right now.

He really wanted to sit down and have a good chat with An Ning. However, when he thought about An Ning's previous reaction, he knew that the more he explained, the more troublesome it would become. First, he had to think of a way to communicate with An Ning.

Even though An Ning was usually amiable and amiable, she upheld her principles. The principles that were rooted deep in her bones were no less than his own.

At this moment, An Ning's heart was in turmoil. Although she kept telling herself in her heart that she needed to believe in Jiang Xiushan, she had always felt uneasy in her own position.

And just as she was feeling depressed, she saw the person she didn't want to see the most — Ji Mingzhen.

Manager Liu was flattering Ji Ming as usual. An Ning could not help but snort in her heart. Manager Liu's skill at changing faces was like a June day. He could change at any time he wanted to.

Ji Mingzhen wore a beige dress. She was tall and slender, and her ordinary dress made her look like a model in a show.

Manager Liu said rudely to An Ning: "Miss Ji has something to say to you."

"I refuse." Even though she had a good temper, Ru Ning was still a bit distracted. "I'm a employee of this company. I do things related to the company's business. I don't think I have a labor contract that allows me to entertain outsiders."

Manager Liu did not expect An Ning to be so sharp-tongued. Previously, she had been swallowing her anger and completing the task she assigned to her.

Of course, Manager Liu felt that it was all An Ning had done because of Jiang Xuan, but Jiang Jia Han's current fiancee was Ji Mingzhen. An Ning had already been sentenced from the competition, so Manager Liu felt that there was no need to consider An Ning's thoughts anymore.

"What, I can't order you around?"

An Ning lowered her head and didn't even look at Manager Liu. Ji Mingzhen smiled disdainfully: "It's alright. Manager Liu, you go back and busy yourself first. I'll have a good chat with Miss An here."

Manager Liu repeatedly said yes and quickly moved a chair over. Ji Mingzhen sat down without a trace of politeness.

Ji Mingzhen indistinctly straightened his skirt. Then, she looked at An Ning. "Miss An, do you think this dress of mine is pretty?"

"What are you trying to say?" Her relationship with Ji Mingzhen had yet to reach the point where they could discuss whether a dress was good or not.

But Ji Mingzhen answered his own question as if she hadn't heard it, "She said it was very pretty. He said he saw the dress before and knew it suited me."

An Ning clenched both her hands into fists. She was extremely familiar with this dress. Previously, when she had gone shopping with Jiang Jia Han, she had fallen for this dress at first glance.

However, the price was too expensive, and An Ning didn't want to ask for money from him. Therefore, she had no choice but to keep her head down and prepare to buy again if she had more money on hand.

He didn't expect that Jiang Jia Han would also fall for this dress. It turned out that when he was shopping with Ye Ci, he was still thinking about Ji Mingzhen.

Thinking of the tender feelings she had for the past two days, An Ning's heart was filled with ridicule. This was too funny. She was indeed a fool. She was being coaxed around by Jiang Xiushan's sweet words.

Ji Mingzhen took in the changes in An Ning's expression. She had achieved her goal. Jiang Xian had escaped and she had.

"And this bag, a new one from Paris this year. Well, I didn't get it for a long time because it was a limited edition, but it wasn't enough. Thanks to Shiva, everything was done for me."

An Ning knew that Ji Ming really intended to provoke her. She told herself not to bother with him, but her heart was still burning with anger.

In fact, Ji Mingzhen bought the clothes herself. The last time An Ning and Jiang Jia Han went shopping together, Ji Mingzhen was secretly following them. How could Ji Mingzhen not understand what An Ning was trying to get at?

Besides, that bag was given to Ji Mingzhen by Jiang's mother, but when she spoke of it, it was Jiang Jianhan's romantic surprise. If Ji Mingzhen put this kind of acting skill into her acting skills, it wouldn't be long before she would receive an Oscar.

An Ning was unable to bear it. "Miss Ji, I have no interest in your dress bag. Please don't affect my work here, OK?"

Although An Ning's current attitude was not good, this didn't affect Ji Ming's good mood. This was because this woman, Jiang Jianxian, had repeatedly been impolite to him, causing him to lose all face.
