607 The Secret About the Past 225 (1/2)
The girls beside Jin Qingyan were surprised to see how bold An Xiaoning was, to actually have the audacity to act that way in front of the wealthy men.
It seemed to them that she must be close friends with the boss' wife, Mei Yangyang.
”How are things with Qingyue lately?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Very good.”
”Inform me when you two are getting married. I'll give you guys a huge red packet.”
An Xiaoning was sitting right opposite Jin Qingyan. She would often make eye contact with him every now and then, though she did not make a conscious effort to stare at him.
”I must invite you, without a doubt. You're the great matchmaker who pulled us together. You must be present no matter what,” Ling Ciye said with a chuckle.
An Xiaoning nodded and asked, ”When did you recognize me?”
”When you were on stage. With that figure of yours, anyone can recognize you after meeting you a few times,” Ling Ciye answered bluntly.
”Ahh…” the girl sitting beside Jin Qingyan purred, surprised and flattered to be pulled into his embrace tightly.
The girl was flushed red with shyness as she leaned against his chest gently, beaming with bliss and joy.
Everyone stared at each other awkwardly. Noticing how calm and still An Xiaoning was, Mei Yangyang glared at her husband sternly.
Long Tianze immediately stretched his back and pretended not to notice anything.
An inexplicable and strange tension filled the air.
”Boss, someone is calling you again!” An Xiaoning's ringtone crooned all of a sudden, greatly startling Ling Ciye, who was seated beside her.
An Xiaoning whipped her phone out leisurely to take a look before standing up to leave straight away.
Mei Yangyang hurriedly took chase.
Upon reaching the entrance, she chucked her mobile phone inside her pocket while Mei Yangyang asked, ”Sis, why didn't you answer the call?”
”It's just an alarm I set. I'm going to go back to the hotel to get some rest now. Help me inform them that I'm leaving.”
”Sis, I'll go with you…”
”Don't make your husband jealous. What if he forbids you from seeing me again in the future?” An Xiaoning jested, smiling at her.
”He wouldn't dare to.”
”Okay, I'm driving back now. I have to set off for B City at about three in the morning. I had a whale of a time tonight, all thanks to you.”
”Well then… be careful on the roads, Sis.”
”Yes, I will.”
An Xiaoning turned around and walked toward her car.
She took her phone out again the moment she got inside the car.
Her phone screen lit up immediately. Smiling wryly, she stared at the alarm she had set earlier on.
When the manager called for her to accompany the men, she headed to the washroom to set an alarm on her phone in order to create an excuse for her to leave.
Well, it wasn't like her to avoid them.
It was almost twenty days since they had gotten a divorce.
Yet, it felt like it happened only yesterday.
