Chapter 134 Girls' Gathering, Miko Suffers
It was still raining the next day. Yan Jinnian was going to Shenzhen on a business trip, so Anmi invited Cai Cai and Wan Qiu to go shopping together.
The three best friends hadn't gotten together in a long time, and as soon as they met, they started chattering away in the bubble tea shop.
Wanqiu, slurping her milk tea, asked, "Best friend, have you and my brother been busy trying to have a baby lately?"
Anmi blushed slightly: "Don't talk nonsense..."
"I'm not making this up!"
She argued logically: "Yesterday Jack said he peeked at my older brother reading 'New Dad's Diary'!"
"Huh?" Anmi frowned. "How come I didn't know?"
"Wasn't it born to you?"
Anmi: "???"
Tang Cai, who was listening from the side, couldn't stand it anymore: "You wish your brother would be alright, you brat!"
This rumor almost led to a pregnancy.
Anmi nodded: "Exactly!"
Yan Jinnian would never do such a thing.
Realizing she had made a mistake, Wanqiu quickly apologized: "I didn't know my limits, I'll slap myself!"
As she spoke, she pouted her little mouth and gently patted it three times with her hand.
Anmi laughed and said, "Alright, stop pretending. Nobody's blaming you."
Wanqiu lowered her hand: "But are you really not planning to have children in the next two years? The child you and my older brother have would definitely be incredibly cute!"
Tang Cai: "Agreed!"
Anmi stirred the toppings at the bottom of her cup with a straw: "We'll have to wait a couple of years before we talk about cuteness. I'm busy building my career right now."
"A small courtyard?"
"Um!"
"Oh, right!" Wanqiu suddenly remembered, "How's your little courtyard coming along? We haven't gone to see it yet."
Anmi said proudly, "It should be finished by the middle of next month. I'll invite you guys first when it's done!"
"Yay!"
"Yay!"
"Alright, stop talking about me. How have you two been lately?"
She interviewed them one by one: "Qiuqiu, do you and He Xiao have any plans to get married? And Caicai, what about you and your boss...?"
"Cai Cai and the boss?"
Upon hearing this, Wanqiu's voice suddenly rose.
"What kind of intelligence is this? I don't know anything about it!"
"Shh!" Anmi quickly gestured for her to lower her voice.
"Don't be so loud, this is a public place."
"Oh!" Wanqiu obediently covered her mouth and whispered, "Caicai, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Cai blushed, took an awkward sip of her milk tea, and said, "Um... don't spread rumors, Mr. Xiao and I... there's nothing between us!"
That tone alone tells you something!
Late Autumn: "I don't believe you. Tell me the truth."
Anmi: "I don't believe it either."
Tang Cai looked at the two of them awkwardly and said, "It's really nothing, it's just that he's been treating me to meals a lot lately..."
"Isn't it enough to treat you to a meal?" Wanqiu blurted out.
"What kind of legitimate boss treats his employees to meals every day? He must be trying to woo you. I felt something was off about him at the wedding."
“You don’t know…” she said to Anmi, “He’s always following Cai Cai around!”
Anmi: I know that perfectly well.
Seeing that they were getting more and more serious, Tang Cai explained, "You've misunderstood. President Xiao is a man of principle. Besides President Yan, I was the only one he was really familiar with at the wedding, so it's normal for him to be with me..."
Anmi succinctly put it: "Following you is normal, but following you all the time is not normal."
Late Autumn: "Exactly!"
"..."
Tang Cai clutched the milk tea cup in her hand: "But President Xiao... how could someone as outstanding as him possibly be interested in me?"
"Why can't I like you?" Wanqiu said seriously, "Don't be insecure, Tang Cai, you're excellent too!"
Anmi: "Exactly!"
"If Mi Zi can marry my older brother, why can't you marry President Xiao?"
Anmi: "It's... um?"
Although... but... this sentence sounds a little strange.
Wanqiu continued to comfort Tang Cai: "Besides, you're not him, how do you know what he's thinking..."
She paused for a moment at this point.
"Hey, why don't we let my older brother go and find out? Aren't they alumni?"
She turned her face away: "Honey, then I'll leave it to you!"
"ha?"
Suddenly burdened with this heavy responsibility, Anmi asked in confusion, "Why are you asking me to do this?"
Wanqiu exclaimed, "Oh dear! Because my older brother only listens to you. If you tell him to go east, he will never go west."
The implication is that she has influence.
Anmi understood. For her best friend, she would of course do her part.
"Okay, I'll take care of it! But your older brother is on a business trip in Shenzhen these days. I'll tell him as soon as he gets back."
Late Autumn: "OK!"
…
On Sunday night, Anmi told Yan Jinnian about it.
After listening, the man asked in confusion, "President Xiao?"
"Yes!" She nodded. "Didn't I tell you? He was always with Cai Cai on the wedding day..."
Yan Jinnian thought for a moment: "I didn't notice."
Anmi: "..."
It seems this person used all their keenness and observation skills on her.
She fawned, "So, will you help or not? If you help, I'll reward you handsomely after it's done!"
"A generous reward?"
Yan Jinnian had just finished showering, and there was still some moisture on his chest.
He walked to the dressing table and squeezed out a little of her luxurious lotion: "Let me hear what kind of generous reward you are offering."
Anmi leaned against the headboard: "What kind of generous reward do you want?"
The man didn't answer, but stood by the bed and said slowly, "Although Mr. Xiao and I are friends, it's really a bit presumptuous of me to pry into his privacy..."
Anmi understood what he meant; he was subtly hinting that she should increase the stakes.
She didn't play dumb: "Just tell me straight, what do you want?"
Yan Jinnian stepped onto the bed and, seemingly unrelated to the question, asked, "Wife, do you smell as good as I do?"
He brought his face, which smelled of lotion, close to hers.
Anmi sniffed it and replied perfunctorily, "Mmm, same."
After saying that, she pushed him away with one hand: "Tell me quickly, what do you want in order for me to help you with this?"
The man slumped onto the pillow beside him, his voice low and languid: "Wife, you should be done by now, right?"
Anmi understood what he meant in just 1.5 seconds.
"You, you, you! How can you have such a big mind?"
Yan Jinnian's eyes sparkled: "Because I've thought about it."
Anmi: "..."
He said pitifully, "Honey, it's been a week... Do you know what it feels like to not eat meat for a week?"
Anmi: Sorry, I don't know, I don't understand, and I don't respect you.
But since she had promised her best friend, she couldn't go back on her word.
"You help first! If you help, you can eat whatever you want tonight."
"Okay." The man picked up his phone without saying another word.
"Hey!" Anmi quickly stopped him.
"I told you to inquire, not to ask directly!"
Yan Jinnian: "Wife, you can rest assured that I'll handle things."
Anmi moved closer to him and watched him type a message in the chat box.
"I'll introduce you to someone...a friend of my wife's...single...how about we have dinner together tomorrow night?" She was stunned and said, "Then he'll guess who it is, right? Cai Cai is the only single one among my friends."
"I just want him to know."
Anmi: "Hmm?"
Yan Jinnian: "Didn't you want to find out his attitude towards your best friend? If he agrees, it means he's interested."
“Oh, right!” Anmi realized.
“You didn’t explicitly say who this person is, but he can tell at a glance. So if he agrees, it means he really has feelings for Cai Cai!”
"Honey, you always have the best ideas!"
Whoosh— The other end replied as soon as they were speaking.
Anmi saw the big "OK" on the screen: "Wow, he didn't even ask!"
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Wife, can I give you the reward now?" Yan Jinnian put away his phone and looked at her expectantly.
Anmi blinked and jumped off the bed with a whoosh.
"I'll call Cai Cai first!"
But she couldn't keep up with the man's pace. She had only taken two steps when he grabbed her waist and carried her back to the bed.
Yan Jinnian loosened the belt of his bathrobe and whispered in her ear, "You do your thing, I'll do mine, we won't hold each other back."
"Huh?" Anmi was speechless.
What kind of operation is this?
The bathrobe was thrown to the foot of the bed, and the man reached out and turned off the light above his head.
"Honey, you said you'd eat with me tonight, so I won't be polite."
