"An Ning, can we talk about one thing?"

An Ning smiled, "Tell me."

"In the future, don't ever thank me again."

An Ning raised her head to look at Xu Wang. Suddenly, her eyes reddened. Someone had said the same thing before. She sighed. "Xu Wang, we're always best friends, right?"

Xu Wang nodded. "Of course." However, not only do I want to be your good friend, I also want more. Right now, An Ning is already someone else's wife.

Under Xu Wang's guidance, An Ning finally stopped feeling like she was about to collapse. After the two of them ate together in the school cafeteria, Xu Wang sent An Ning back to the Xu family.

"Eh, why did my brother send you back?" An Ning hadn't returned to the Xu Family for the past few days. Xu Qing had thought that An Ning would be staying there forever. Even if she did, it should be because of Jiang Jia Han.

An Ning smiled as if nothing had happened. "It's just along the way. After work, I took a taxi and your brother just happened to come over."

Deceiving a ghost. Her brother worked in a different place from An Ning's company.

Xu Qing sized An Ning up. Her eyes were a little red and swollen. It was unknown if it was because she hadn't had a good rest, or because she hadn't had a good rest. She looked extremely tired.

"That's not right. Did something happen to you today?" Xu Qing circled An Ning twice, acting like she was a detective.

An Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry facing the weird Xu Qing. "Alright, I'm very tired today. I want to take a bath. Miss Xu, please give me some petals."

Xu Qing was straightforward, "No problem, but little lady, do you want this grandpa to rub your back …" A naughty smile surfaced on Xu Qing's face.

"Please forgive me." An Ning rejected him flatly. This little girl didn't learn well every day. Sometimes when she took a bath, she would sneak in when she didn't lock the door.

Although there was nothing much to hide from women, An Ning was still very uneasy.

An Ning was lying on the bed after she had showered. Xu Qing also laid on the bed after she had washed up.

"Girl, tell this old man, why are you unhappy today?"

An Ning glanced at Xu Qing. She wanted to say something, but she hesitated. 'Forget it, I shouldn't let this girl know about the matter between me and Jiang XiHan.

She didn't want Xu Qing to worry about her, and with this girl's personality, she couldn't just run over to the company and cause a ruckus.

"Qing Qing, I'm really tired. Let's sleep."

Xu Qing knew that she didn't want to say it, so she didn't press on. The best friends weren't completely close, after all, everyone's thoughts and opinions were different, but the best friends should be understanding each other, like Xu Qing and An Ning.

Not long after turning off the light, Xu Qing's even breathing could be heard. However, An Ning still hadn't closed her eyes. She was very tired, but the moment she closed them, she could clearly see how cold Jiang Jia was.

She thought of many things, of the sweetness of the two of them together, but more than that, of the pain Jiang Xian had brought her.

She was determined to get divorced from this marriage. If she couldn't negotiate a settlement with Jiang Jia next time, she would have to go through legal procedures.

An Ning was not afraid of a clean slate. She wanted nothing more than a proof of the end of their relationship.

As long as she had that thing, she would be free. She would no longer have to carry the mysterious identity of "Jiang Xianhan's wife" on her back.

Xu Wang knew that An Ning was in a bad mood, so he invited her to go with him to City F to relax.

An Ning was tired and did not have the desire to go. Therefore, she tactfully rejected Xu Wang on the phone. However, she did not expect Xu Wang to directly drive over.

Since it was the weekend, Xu Qing also started her boring Buddhist life support at home. She originally wanted to ask An Ning out, but seeing her dispirited look, Xu Qing didn't bring it up again.

Hearing that they were going to F City, Xu Qing almost screamed out of excitement, "Great! Great! F City is so close to us, and I've never had the chance to go see it."

Still, An Ning didn't want to go. "You guys go ahead. I want to rest at home."

She held An Ning's hand as she pleaded, "No, good Ning, you're the best. Let's go together, it's not like you don't know my brother. When he walks around those pretty crafts shops, he'll be like a wooden stake, bored to death."

Xu Wang was speechless. Was it really okay to slander him in front of him?

However, in order to successfully persuade An Ning, Xu Wang still took the blame, "That's right, An Ning. You know I've always had a bad eye. It's not like I have anything in common to talk about with Qing Qing."

An Ning was overjoyed. Indeed, they were siblings.

Although she felt helpless, An Ning was still forcefully dragged out of the house by Xu Qing.

The weather was especially good today. Once they were outside, An Ning seemed to be in a much better mood than before. Xu Qing was more like a wild horse that had been freed from its reins.

Xu Qing was wailing non-stop in the car, the sound was like a devil's voice ringing in her ears. An Ning suddenly missed the drunk Xu Qing very much, and would only silently take her phone and send her messages, one after the other, comma after the other.

TF City was very close to A City and was only an hour and a half away. Today, they had arrived at a flat land. Xu Qing got off the car and saw a child flying a kite. She was so interested that she wanted to buy one.

An Ning had no choice but to accompany Xu Qing. In the end, An Ning and Xu Wang sat to the side and watched as Xu Qing ran over by herself while waving a kite. Even so, the kite couldn't fly.

"How long do you think she'll be able to fly a kite?"

Xu Wang shook his head: "It's hard in my opinion." An Ning nodded in agreement.

"I guess in five minutes this kite will be smashed to pieces by her." The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They knew Xu Qing too well.

An Ning let out a deep breath and suddenly stood up, brimming with energy, "No way, I have to go save the kite's life." She then strode towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was so energetic in front of him. Perhaps An Ning had been infected by her, and suddenly felt like running under the blue sky and white clouds.

Seeing that someone had finally come to help her, Xu Qing's face was filled with grievance. "Ning Ning, you've finally arrived. Why are these threads all tangled up together? How annoying, we can't separate them all."

"Let me do it." An Ning rolled up her sleeves and started to tidy up the string of the kite. She was very good at this, and in a short while, she helped Xu Qing fly the kite up into the sky.

"Ning Ning, you're too awesome."

The laughter and cheers of Xu Qing and An Ning echoed throughout the entire prairie. Finally, they saw the long-awaited smile on An Ning's face. Xu Wang felt that they had finally achieved their goal.

While An Ning was playing and relaxing, Jiang Jia's cold phone call arrived. He hadn't forgotten to give An Ning a proper explanation.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jia still felt that it was necessary for him to explain things to An Ning. No matter how An Ning interpreted, he would at least express that Ji Mingzhen really wasn't what he wanted.
