He unceremoniously grabbed An Ning's wrist. ”Hey, beauty, don't leave. Go and play with big brother for a while.” An Ning tried to struggle free, but her strength was nothing but an itch to the man in front of her.

”If you don't let me go now, I'll call someone over.”

The man on the other hand, was smiling. An Ning was trying to find Xu Qing, but Xu Qing was currently with Tang Yu at an unknown location.

Just as An Ning was struggling, a figure appeared in front of her. The man's hand was thrown aside as he was kicked far away. It was Jiang Jian Han. An Ning was finally able to let out a breath of relief.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said in a low voice, ”Thank you.”

Every time he was in a crisis, Jiang Jia would appear in a timely manner. Before, he had always been very happy about his appearance, but now, his mood was no longer the same as before. Since he didn't love her, why did he have to provoke her time and time again?

Thinking back to her unhappy past, An Ning's mood became extremely cold once again. 'Forget it, it's better to be a passerby in the future,' she thought.

”It's getting late, I'll go home first.” As he watched An Ning get into the taxi, he didn't have the courage to say the words, ”I'll drive you.”

Xu Wang had almost peeled all three plates of the prawns, but he didn't see An Ning return. Thinking about how Jiang Jianhan hadn't come back after so long, Xu Wang guessed that it was probably because Jiang Jianhan had made things difficult for An Ning.

He got up to look for An Ning, but all he saw was Jiang Jia sitting alone in a corner, drinking wine.

”What about her?” Without An Ning here, Xu Wang naturally wouldn't be using that kind face of his from before.

Jiang Jia's cold eyebrows furrowed: ”That's my wife, you better stay away from her.”

Deceiving himself and not wanting to get involved in a dispute with him, Xu Wang continued to ask, ”Where did she go?”

”Already gone home.” Jiang Jia put another cup of strong liquor into his stomach. Xu Wang narrowed his eyes. It seemed that something bad had happened between the two just now.

Every time is Jiang Jianhan, An Ning used to be such a cheerful person, always because Jiang Jianhan sullen.

In the past, when he had heard the news of An Ning's marriage, he had chosen to withdraw and silently bless her. But now, he didn't want to remain silent.

He didn't have any special thoughts. As long as An Ning was happy, that was his biggest wish. Since Jiang Xian couldn't give it to him, then he should take his place.

After greeting Xu Qing, Xu Qing left as well. Seeing that it was getting late and everyone was almost done eating and drinking, she called everyone back.

Tang Yu was naturally tasked with escorting Xu Qing home. The two had just established a relationship, and now that they had gone from being friends to lovers, the two weren't used to it. Occasionally, they would look at each other with reddened faces.

After Tang Yu sent Xu Qing to the Xu Family estate, Xu Qing stood and confessed to Tang Yu.

”Hurry up and enter.”

Xu Qing shook her head, ”No, I saw you walk in before I went in.”

”No, you should go in first. It's already so late so you should hurry back home and rest early.”

Xu Qing still shook her head. She was determined to wait until Tang Yu left before she was willing to enter the house. Tang Yu finally couldn't help but open the car door and embrace Xu Qing.

This was the first time the two hugged. It was unavoidable that she felt a little awkward, but Xu Qing still felt very happy.
