It was just after the Chinese New Year, and the business of restaurants in small cities was relatively slow. There were a few private rooms left empty. In the darkness, the familiar cool breath of a man rushed into my nose. "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"I'm a little tired." Jiang Yi said in a muffled voice, "Go and greet your friends. They came all the way to have dinner with you."

Nie Can lifted her chin, "Are you jealous?"

"No." Jiang Yi opened his hand, "Nie Can, how about we——"

She felt a pain at the back of her neck, and was held by his big hand. She was forced to look up and meet his eyes, which were as thick as ink. There was a cold and sharp light emitting from it, as if to pierce her soul and discern her intentions.

Jiang Yi was stunned and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

The next second he lowered his head and kissed her lips, a little hard, like grinding them. She hadn't put on any makeup or lipstick today, so her lips were dry and the skin was soon rubbed off, causing a burning pain.

Feeling her discomfort, he let her go, his voice a little cold, "What did you want to say just now?"

Jiang Yi's heart was beating fast, and he was breathing heavily. Just then, it seemed as if a beast was about to run out of his body. It was so terrifying, who could say it?

"You bastard." She glared at him.

Nie Can smiled, his expression softened a lot, "You just found out?"

"You're a hooligan."

Nie Can kissed her again, very lightly, "I only act like a hooligan to my girlfriend, understand?"

Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, "That girl just now likes you."

"Is it so obvious?" The man smiled wickedly, "I told her to control herself and stop thinking about me. I'm sold out."

Jiang Yi's mouth twitched, "Who bought yours?"

"You, I'll sell it to you for a hundred dollars?"

"I don't have any money." Really, not even a hundred dollars.

The man gritted his teeth and groped her body. Jiang Yi thought he was going to be a hooligan again and was shocked. "This is a teahouse."

Nie Can smiled and fished out a few crumpled banknotes from her pocket, about three or four yuan, "This is it."

Jiang Yi was amused.

"Satisfied?" He looked down at her, feeling aggrieved. "A pig can be sold for three or four hundred yuan."

"Then you're at a huge loss, aren't you?" Jiang Yi's mouth curled up even more.

"Who made me meet a profiteer like you?" Nie Can stroked her face with his palm, his eyes deep, and paused for a few seconds, "You are my only girlfriend, and the others have nothing to do with me."

Jiang Yi stopped smiling, and her heart felt as relaxed as if it had been ironed.

Women are so easy to coax.

Who is the profiteer after all?

Use my money to coax me.

Although it’s only three dollars and sixty cents.

That's money too.

Someone passed by outside, "Have you seen Brother Can? Secretary Chen?"

It was Shen Si Ni’s voice.

Secretary Chen's voice was a little high, "Ah, Miss Shen, long time no see. You look better than before."

Ana Shen said briskly, “Thank you, you too.”

"Come to your private room. I'll make you some tea."

"Okay, I really miss the tea you made..."

The door was not closed tightly. Jiang Yi saw Shen Si Ni and Secretary Chen passing by. She pushed Nie Can and lowered her voice, "Get out quickly. After all, they are still guests."

Nie Can took her hand and said, "Do you want to introduce me to them? My girlfriend."

This made Jiang Yi even more excited. Finally, they were asking for her opinion. She straightened her back a little, "No, let's talk about it later and then decide."

Nie Can said, "Then I'll let Pan Qiang take you back first. After I settle them down, I'll come back to find you and make you a midnight snack."

"Eating too much midnight snack will make you fat."

"Won't."

Seeing the deep smile in the man's eyes, Jiang Yi's heart beat faster, "You go out first."

She came out one minute after Nie Can went out.

Unexpectedly, Shen Sini was still outside, talking to Nie Can. When she saw Jiang Yi, her gaze paused and fell on her lips.

The woman's lips were red, swollen and a little broken.

Shen Si Ni looked at Nie Can calmly again. His lips were also a little red. Could it be that they...

"Mom!" Little Guozi ran up from downstairs and hugged Jiang Yi's thighs.

Then Jiang Yang also appeared, "The little guy insisted on coming to find his mother."

Jiang Yang and Jiang Yao came back just after Xiao Guozi was sent back to Xu Cuilian. But he kept crying for his mother, so Jiang Yang brought him back.

"Mom, did you get 100 points in the exam?"

The appearance of the child instantly made the atmosphere relaxed.

Jiang Yi smiled and hugged him, "Mom still needs to work hard to get a perfect score."

Shen Si Ni breathed a sigh of relief and asked Jiang Yi: "Is this your child?"

"Um."

"How old are you?"

"Grandma said that I will be five years old after the New Year." Little Guozi said in a sweet and naive manner, with a chubby and pink little round face.

Shen Si Ni smiled and said, "So cute."

She must be overthinking it.

How could Nie Can possibly like a married woman with children?

Jiang Yang: "You are——"

Shen Yushen also came out. Nie Can gave him a cigarette and another to Jiang Yang. "My friend Shen Yushen, this is his sister, Shen Sini."

Jiang Yang knew at first glance that these two people were not from ordinary families. "Nice to meet you. Nie Can and I were comrades-in-arms. My name is Jiang Yang."

"I've heard about you from Nie Can." Shen Yushen's expression was polite yet distant. "Nice to meet you."

As the host, Jiang Yang naturally had to accompany the guests, "Today I'm treating you, let's not go home until we're drunk!"

Jiang Yi thought, there was a reason why her elder brother was able to make money in Pengcheng in his previous life. He was good at building relationships and could liven up the atmosphere with just a few words.

In the words of later generations, it is called the community cow.

Shen Sini invited Jiang Yi to have dinner together, but Jiang Yi declined, saying that the child was naughty and would disturb everyone and prevent them from having a good time.

Pan Qiang said, "Sister, I'll take you back then."

Shen Si Ni didn't force it. When they arrived at the private room, she learned indirectly that Jiang Yi had been married five years ago, but divorced and raised the child alone.

"She is very brave. She gave up being a young lady and came out to fight for herself." Shen Si Ni said with some admiration.

And unexpectedly, Jiang Yi's ex-husband is Lu Yunxiao. "Brother, it's the Lu family that our grandfather knew, right?"

"Ah?!" Jiang Yang was surprised. This world is so small.

Nie Can also narrowed his eyes slightly.

So that's how it is.

No wonder Lu Yunxiao didn’t get demoted three levels.

Shen Yushen said to Nie Can, "It seems that Mrs. Lu has some friendship with my grandfather."

Jiang Yang drank two cups too much and was relaxed. "Your grandfather is——"

The surname is Shen. The Lu family is a military family. They have a relationship with them, so they are... Jiang Yang's scalp tingled, and when he looked at Nie Can, he was also shocked.

The brother who has been with me for many years has such a powerful background.

Shen Yushen didn't answer, but he answered by raising his glass, "Come on, let's wish you a new year and a new atmosphere."

After dinner, Nie Can arranged the Shen brothers and sisters to stay at the Yuncheng Hotel.

In Shen Yushen's room, the two smoked for a while, and Shen Yushen asked, "You know what my sister means to you, right? That's why I accompanied her to come to you."

Nie Can smiled and said, "If I had thoughts about your sister in that regard, would I need you to ask?"

Shen Yushen understood.

I knew this would be the result.

"Let me tell her, you are a man who doesn't know how to be gentle with women, and I'm afraid I'll hurt my sister's feelings." Shen Yushen loves this sister very much.

"Well, tell her not to waste her time on me."

Seeing his friend's firm attitude, Shen Yushen was a little unconvinced and asked curiously: "My sister is so outstanding, but you still don't like her. Your standards are too high. Do you want to marry Chang'e?"

Nie Can's eyes narrowed, and a cold look appeared in his eyes. "Who are you scolding, Zhu Bajie?"

The bargain price he just sold it at was even lower than that of a pig. Now he is unhappy with anything related to "pigs".

Chen Yushen smiled, "I didn't scold you, why are you reacting so strongly? Do you really want to marry Chang'e?"

"Harder to catch than Chang'e."

Shen Yushen dropped half of his cigarette ash, and only realized it when his fingers burned, "Which girl? Is her status higher than your Nie family?"

Nie Can didn't reply to him. He put out his cigarette and left.

Jiang Yi had six exams today, so her brain cells were a little overloaded. She accompanied Xiao Guozi to bed and fell asleep herself.

In a daze, she felt someone picked her up and took her away from the warm bed. She subconsciously snuggled into that person's arms.

The familiar crisp breath turned hot, with a hint of alcohol and a faint smell of smoke.

When the strong abdominal muscles pressed against her, she felt like she was being swept into the deep sea. A wave hit her, her eyes blurred, and she woke up.
