An Xingchen's face flushed red from being called Sister-in-law. She was ashamed and embarrassed to say anything, but then she heard the man from before introducing herself with a smile: ”Sister-in-law, my name is Lin Zichen.”

An Xingchen could only return a polite smile with a reddened face.

Beside Lu Shijia, a handsome man who looked rather steady and steady also politely greeted An Xingchen: ”Eldest Sister-in-law, hello. My name is Ji Yiming.”

”Hello.” An Xingchen replied in embarrassment.

Lu Shijia and An Xingchen had already met earlier, and could be considered to know each other. Lu Shijia nodded at An Xingchen, and then greeted her.

Gong Lingqian, who was beside him, held An Xingchen's hand. Looking at An Xingchen's nervous expression, she curled her lips, moved close to An Xingchen's ear and whispered: ”You don't have to be nervous, they are all small children of mine.”

”Yes.” An Xingchen responded and retracted Gong Lingqian's large palm. The nervousness in his heart slightly dissipated.

After greeting each other, the people who were soaking in the bath all went back ashore. Lin Zichen and Ji Yiming then pulled their respective female companions over, and after another round of introductions, An Xingchen finally knew that Lu Shijia was the only one who hadn't had a girlfriend yet.

Lin Zichen's girlfriend was Shu Luowei, who was a clothing designer who grew up with Lin Zichen. Although she was a young miss, she did not have any airs of a young miss, and was very lively and cute. Just as Lin Zichen finished his introductions, Shu Luowei grabbed An Xingchen's hand and said that they want to play together.

Ji Yiming's girlfriend was called Jiang Zhishan, she was a journalist, generous and gentle, also from a normal family. I heard that she was classmates with Ji Yiming in university.

Gong Lingqian would spend a few days with his close friends as long as he had time. However, this was the first time Gong Lingqian brought a girl here, so it could be seen how important An Xingchen was in Gong Lingqian's heart.

Therefore, the attitude of the little brothers to An Xingchen was still very respectful.

Although the Lin and Ji Families were not as popular as the Gong Family and Lu Families, they occupied a very important part of the political scene in the Yao City. The four families were all old friends, and the ages of the four people were similar.

The few men came together and chatted until they reached the topic of business and politics.

An Xingchen stood at the side holding Gong Lingqian's hand without being able to put a word in, and was completely embarrassed upon hearing this.

Seeing that Gong Lingqian was about to lead her into the resting room, An Xingchen stopped in her tracks.

Gong Lingqian saw that An Xingchen had suddenly stopped, and frowned slightly while looking at An Xingchen. He was just about to speak, when An Xingchen took the lead and spoke softly: ”Gong Lingqian … I'll just stay here and play, you guys can go in and chat. ”

When Gong Lingqian heard this, his brows knitted even more tightly. He was a little worried that An Xingchen was not by her side.

Seeing that Gong Lingqian did not even try to let go of her hand, the corner of An Xingchen's mouth unconsciously revealed a hint of a smile. He looked at Gong Lingqian and continued, ”It's alright … They're nice people, and you and I. I can't even get a word into your conversation. ”It's even more awkward...”

After listening to An Xingchen's explanation, Gong Lingqian let go of An Xingchen's hand, but he was still a little worried, and warned: ”I'll be at the side resting area, if there's anything, come and find me to know?”

Seeing An Xingchen nod her head, Gong Lingqian then followed Lu Shijia and the others into the next resting lounge.

On the other hand, An Xingchen returned to the bathing room, where Shu Luowei and Jiang Zhishan were sitting on the sofa, resting and chatting.
