After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 8

An Nuan returned Ye Jinghuai's gaze.

The two looked into each other's eyes.

Perhaps just for a second.

Both turned away at the same time.

Ye Jinghuai yelled at the host, "Make the deal!"

The host had been watching the drama and was startled back to business at this moment. "30 million for the first bid!"

"30 million for the second bid!"

"30 million for the third bid!"

"Sold! Congratulations Master Ye!"

Applause rang out through the venue.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Jinghuai went up on stage to collect the gemstone.

The gem was placed in an exquisite glass jewelry box. At this moment under the lights, the blue radiance was exceptionally dazzling. It made many people unable to resist getting closer to take a look.

At that moment, Ye Jinghuai walked over to where Gu Yan Sheng and An Nuan were.

Gu Yan Sheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He probably thought Ye Jinghuai had come over deliberately to show off.

But unexpectedly, Ye Jinghuai handed the gemstone directly to An Nuan, saying "For you."

Everyone in the venue was shocked, their jaws dropping.

It was said that Ye Jinghuai was frivolous, and always made unpredictable moves. Now they finally witnessed it.

An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai.

"Don't you like it?" Ye Jinghuai asked her.

His tone was clearly vaguely ambiguous.

It made An Nuan's heart inexplicably stirred.

"Nuan Nuan won't..." Gu Yan Sheng had not finished speaking.

Ye Jinghuai directly shoved the jewelry box into An Nuan's hands.

An Nuan took it.

She took it without rejecting it.

Gu Yan Sheng looked at An Nuan in disbelief.

An Nuan said, "Since Master Ye is insistent, I can't decline such generosity."

Ye Jinghuai was visibly smiling.

When this rogue smiled, he could charm any woman.

His eyes flashed as he said to Gu Yan Sheng, "This is what's called, a gentleman does not take what another fancies."

It was clearly meant to mock Gu Yan Sheng's hypocritical words from earlier.

Gu Yan Sheng's face darkened.

"Let's go." Ye Jinghuai said to Gu Yan Sheng.

At that moment it seemed he was speaking to An Nuan.

She watched his arrogant departing figure.

It had to be said, although Ye Jinghuai was a bit presumptuous tonight, he really was full of overbearing arrogance.

So this was how he chased women?

"When did Ye Jinghuai become so handsome!" Xia Qiqi always spoke without restraint. At this moment she also couldn't help but blurt out.

After saying it.

Gu Yan Sheng's face became even uglier.

An Nuan couldn't help but smile imperceptibly.

Gu Yan Sheng had always claimed to be different from other wealthy heirs. He considered himself aloof and out of the ordinary, looking down disdainfully on others.

The outside world also spoke highly of Gu Yan Sheng, saying he was a once in a millennium talent of North Wen Nation, perfect in background, learning and ability, so perfect it made one question God's favoritism.

Later An Nuan found out that all these external conditions were deliberately cultivated for Gu Yan Sheng by the Gu family. He had been raised with this halo since childhood, with a ambitious path laid out for him since young. Yet Gu Yan Sheng had taken it all as the truth, truly believing himself to be superior.

At this moment being so slapped in the face by Ye Jinghuai, he was naturally extremely unhappy inwardly.

Xia Qiqi also seemed to feel she had spoken at the wrong time.

She stuck out her tongue, "Nuan Nuan, it's late, I'll head back first."

An Nuan nodded, "Be careful on the way."

"Okay."

Xia Qiqi left.

With that, the charity banquet also drew to an end. Everyone gradually filtered out.

Gu Yan Sheng still swallowed all his displeasure and sent An Nuan home.

In the car.

An Nuan didn't take the initiative to speak, her eyes unintentionally gazing at the blue gemstone.

Gu Yan Sheng also didn't speak, evidently still very angry.

He could even imagine how the media would portray him tomorrow!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Gu Yan Sheng raised his head to look at An Nuan, his tone clearly very poor, "How could you accept his gift!"

The words "Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me" were probably held back and not said.

An Nuan said, "My mother's birthday is coming up soon. She quite likes this blue gemstone. I plan to give it to her as a gift."

"Even so..."

"I originally wanted to bid for it myself." An Nuan cut him off. "You were the one who stopped me."

Gu Yan Sheng was suddenly rendered speechless.

Clearly at that time he had thought An Nuan wanted him to foot the bill.

An Nuan indifferently said, "I told my father when I came to the banquet that I wanted to bid for this gem to give my mother a surprise gift. My father agreed and didn't give me a spending limit."

Gu Yan Sheng felt rather awkward.

After quite a while he said, "I was also worried you would be taken advantage of by that wastrel Ye Jinghuai, that's why I stopped you."

An Nuan didn't expose his lies.

She said, "Since Ye Jinghuai doesn't care for it, there's nothing improper about me accepting it."

"That wastrel's gift..."

"Yan Sheng, you never used to insult others before. Why have you changed now?" An Nuan asked in seeming innocence.

Gu Yan Sheng was slightly stunned.

"You've been calling Ye Jinghuai a wastrel all night. It makes me feel you've become a stranger. I thought you would never say such things." An Nuan looked very disappointed.

Gu Yan Sheng quickly explained, "It's also because he deliberately targeted me tonight that I got angry. If you don't like it, I won't say it again, okay?"

An Nuan nodded.

Gu Yan Sheng had originally been full of rage, but because of An Nuan's words, he had to forcibly swallow back his desire to vent.

An Nuan sneered inwardly.

Didn't he want to pretend to be a hypocrite?

Then let him keep up the act forever.

......

Gu Yan Sheng sent An Nuan back to the An family villa.

The moment An Nuan got out of the car to head back.

"Ms An!" That sudden voice again, scaring An Nuan so much her soul almost departed.

She looked resentfully at the elegant man leaning against the wall under the street lamp, arms crossed over his chest.

"Do you always appear and disappear like a ghost?" An Nuan asked unpleasantly.

"Isn't that how illicit affairs are?"

"Who's having an illicit affair with you!" An Nuan felt like all her manners would break down in front of this man!

"I thought since Ms An made me snatch a marriage, she must be coveting my body."

"......" Could she beat him to death with a stick!

"Since it's not the case, return the card to me!" Ye Jinghuai's tone suddenly shifted.

An Nuan took a deep breath, trying her best to stay calm. She said, "Give me a moment."

Ye Jinghuai nodded slightly.

An Nuan went home to retrieve the card and returned it to Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai took the card and was about to leave.

An Nuan called for him to stop. "I'll transfer you the money for the blue gemstone later."

"No need." Ye Jinghuai said, "I've already put on the act, I don't care about this petty cash."

Did you have no shame at all!

Chasing after her for the card when you don't even care about the money!

"Goodnight, Ms An." Ye Jinghuai got into his flashy red sports car and arrogantly drove off.

For some reason.

There was a kind of...a feeling that Ye Jinghuai was completely different from how he presented himself.

Was it just her imagination?!

No.

Ye Jinghuai was simply inscrutable.

And this unfathomable man, as he drove, looked meaningfully at the card he was twirling in his fingers. No one could ever tell what he was thinking from his expression.

His eyes flickered as he turned on the bluetooth. "Qin Jiang."

"Nanchun has returned to the country."

"Mm." Ye Jinghuai acknowledged.

So he knew about it now.

"I heard you smashed 30 million tonight just to make a girl smile?" Qin Jiang couldn't resist gossiping.

The corner of Ye Jinghuai's mouth curled up. "Mm, I'm in love."

"......" Qin Jiang was petrified.

He felt like he had just heard the biggest joke of his life.

That man who usually avoided women was now arrogantly telling him he was in love.

As if only he could fall in love.

Damn.

Who wanted to hear his dog food!
