After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

Nan Shu took a few steps back, her expression somewhat conflicted.

She looked at Chen Jingyan with a troubled expression. "Brother Jingyan, could you please not put me in a difficult position? I don't want to say..."

Seeing the fear and resistance in Nan Shu's eyes, Chen Jingyan finally came to his senses.

He turned his head away, his tone filled with regret.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you."

Nan Shu shook her head. The last layer of pretense had been broken, and she was now unsure how to face Chen Jingyan.

Just then, a nurse walked in from outside to check on Um's condition, breaking the deadlock between the two.

Nan Shu walked to the bedside and carefully wrote down everything the nurse had told her.

After the nurse left, Nan Shu looked back and found that Chen Jingyan had left sometime earlier.

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a pang of self-reproach when she thought about what had just happened.

If she had known earlier that Chen Jingyan liked her, she might not have accepted his kindness.

A man like Chen Jingyan deserves a girl who loves him wholeheartedly, not someone like her.

The next day, this phase of treatment finally ended. After a simple check-up, Nan Shu left the hospital with Enen.

Although she was very reluctant to return to the Qi family, she had nowhere else to go.

When they returned to the Qi family home, neither Lin Xi nor Qi Yuye were there.

Nan Shu finally felt relieved and immediately threw herself into her work after settling Enen in.

Design is what she does best, and she must design a piece for Shengda as soon as possible and then leave the Qi family.

Nan Shu had a premonition that staying here any longer would not be good for her or Enen.

In the following days, Qi Yuye did not deliberately seek out Nan Shu, which greatly reduced her wariness.

Just as Nan Shu had finished putting Enen to sleep that noon, her phone suddenly lit up.

Let's go out and have a meal together.

The few words, very concise and to the point, were sent by Qi Yuye.

Nan Shu's heart skipped a beat; she was somewhat confused about what Qi Yuye meant.

After thinking for a while, Nan Shu typed a few words on the screen, cutting and rewriting as she went.

"I've already eaten."

"The driver is downstairs."

It was a very simple sentence, but Nan Shu sensed something unusual about it.

Qi Yuye has never liked being rejected, especially when things have already been arranged.

Yes, she still needs Nuomi's help, and she can't afford to offend Qi Yuye.

Nan Shu glanced at her phone again, sighed, and resignedly got out of bed.

When Nan Shu arrived downstairs, Qi Yuye's assistant was already waiting by the car.

Upon seeing Nan Shu approach, the assistant immediately and respectfully opened the car door.

"Where exactly does Qi Yuye want me to go?"

Seeing her assistant like this, Nan Shu couldn't help but ask.

The assistant smiled slightly and replied.

You'll see when the time comes.

The people around Qi Yuye were all tight-lipped, and Nan Shu knew she wouldn't get any information out of them, so she simply sat in the car, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Perhaps because she had been too tired recently, Nan Shu actually fell asleep.

Qi Yuye looked at Nan Shu, who was sleeping soundly against the back seat, and shook his head helplessly.

He stared at Nan Shu for a long time, and when he realized that she still showed no signs of waking up, he glanced at the time and finally patted her on the shoulder.

Nan Shu is a light sleeper. When she felt the touch on her shoulder, she immediately opened her eyes and looked in Qi Yuye's direction with a startled expression.

Upon seeing that it was Qi Yuye, Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, sat up straight with sleepy eyes, and spoke in a rare gentle tone.

"It's you! Have you been waiting for me long? I'm sorry, I'm too sleepy."

This was the first time Qi Yuye had seen Nan Shu speak to him so gently since she returned to the Qi family.

Qi Yuye was somewhat surprised, but showed no sign of it on his face.

"I thought you were going to sleep until sunset."

Qi Yuye chuckled and then turned to leave.

Seeing Qi Yuye's attitude, Nan Shu finally came to her senses.

She had just made a mistake, actually thinking that the person standing in front of her was the old Qi Yuye.

Nan Shu immediately got out of the car and quickly followed.

Qi Yuye didn't speak, so Nan Shu also remained silent until they entered the restaurant that Qi Yuye had booked.

This is a well-known local star-rated hotel. It is said that the seafood here is very good, and the ingredients are all air-freighted daily from coastal cities around the world.

Nan Shu has rarely been to places like this in recent years. As she entered the hotel, she subconsciously looked around.

When her gaze fell on a certain spot, Nan Shu paused for a moment.

Chen Jingyan? What's he doing here?

Nan Shu's gaze fell on the woman opposite Chen Jingyan.

Sitting opposite Chen Jingyan was a woman in a red dress who looked to be in her early twenties.

The woman's gaze remained fixed on Chen Jingyan the entire time, never wavering for a moment.

Judging from the situation, it seems that Chen Jingyan is on a date?

Nan Shu was thinking to herself, preparing to avoid Chen Jingyan's direction, but unexpectedly, Qi Yuye suddenly changed direction and walked straight towards Chen Jingyan.

Seeing Qi Yuye's actions, Nan Shu was startled and quickly followed, saying as she walked.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Qi Yuye didn't even turn his head, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"I just didn't expect him to be here. Since we've run into an old friend, and he's with a young and beautiful woman, shouldn't you, as his wife, ask what's going on?"

Nan Shu was taken aback by Qi Yuye's words, and she turned her head away guiltily.

She almost forgot that her current identity was still Chen Jingyan's wife.

Nan Shu coughed lightly, immediately trying to cover for herself.

"Chen Jingyan would never do anything to betray me. I believe he was just socializing, so there's no need for me to go."

"Thank you for your concern about my family affairs, Mr. Qi, but I don't want to embarrass Jingyan in public."

Hearing Nan Shu address him and Chen Jingyan differently, Qi Yuye narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Since you're already here, go over and say hello."

Qi Yuye saw that Nan Shu wanted to escape, and grabbed her arm before she could run away.

Nan Shu was pulled by Qi Yuye to Chen Jingyan's table.

Chen Jingyan was surprised that Nan Shu would suddenly appear, especially with Qi Yuye.

The four looked at each other, and the scene became quite awkward.

Nan Shu smiled awkwardly, then greeted Chen Jingyan.

"Jingyan, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be eating here."

The woman opposite Chen Jingyan looked at Nan Shu with curiosity and pressed for an answer.

"What, you two know each other?"

Chen Jingyan nodded, his expression serious.

"This is my wife, Nan Shu."
