Chapter 290 Pulling and Tugging
Based on her understanding of Nie Jinxi, she knew that Nie Jinxi was narrow-minded. Even if she loved Ji Minghuan, she probably wouldn't tolerate him doing this...
When Ji Minghuan heard Nie Yao say this, his expression changed slightly, but he was unwilling to admit anything in front of Nie Yao. He just smiled awkwardly and replied, "Nie Yao, you're joking. Jin Xi and I are just acquaintances. How can she be mine?"
"Really?" Nie Yao sneered, her eyes fixed on the woman next to Ji Minghuan, and she said indifferently, "It seems you change women pretty quickly..."
Ji Minghuan frowned slightly. He knew that Nie Yao and Nie Jinxi had a bad relationship, but he was also worried that Nie Yao and Nie Jinxi would gossip about each other and tell others about what happened today, causing him more trouble!
"Nie Yao, you really misunderstood me..." Ji Minghuan shook his head and tried to find a reasonable explanation for himself.
However, Nie Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just shrugged, sneered, and turned away.
Ji Minghuan certainly wouldn't allow Nie Yao to disappear in front of him like this, and quickly whispered to the woman beside him: "Qingqing, I have something to discuss here, you should go back first..."
"But you promised me that you would go to the movies with me later!" The woman pouted and said unhappily.
"Be good, wait until I finish dealing with things here. If you have nothing to do, buy yourself a movie ticket and go see it. I'll come over to accompany you after I'm done!" Ji Minghuan put his arm around the waist of the woman next to him and comforted her with a smile.
"Forget it, it's boring to watch a movie alone. You should come back early!" The woman curled her lips and said to Ji Minghuan in a coquettish voice before turning around and leaving.
After sending his female companion away, Ji Minghuan hurriedly ran after Nie Yao, who had just left but had not gone far.
Nie Yao searched around but couldn't find any information about Li Jinxing's family. She asked the librarian again, and the librarian smiled and said, "I think maybe you could try your luck in the archives..."
"I understand, thank you!" Nie Yao thanked the librarian politely and left the library.
Ji Minghuan saw Nie Yao standing at the door of the library and had not yet walked out, so he quickly took two steps forward and grabbed Nie Yao's arm.
"Nie Yao, wait for me, I have something to tell you!"
Nie Yao stopped, looked up at Ji Minghuan, and said unhappily: "Let go——"
"I'm afraid if I let go, you'll leave again!" Ji Minghuan shook his head and said stubbornly, "I won't let go until I explain what happened!"
There weren't many people at the entrance of the library, but the noise coming from Nie Yao and Ji Minghuan attracted the attention of others. Some people even looked at them curiously, thinking they were a quarreling couple!
"This is a library. Why are you making so much noise and pulling me? Are you trying to attract attention?" Nie Yao asked with a cold face and without any politeness.
Ji Minghuan smiled faintly, pointed to the coffee shop nearby, and said to Nie Yao in a gentle tone: "Then let's go to the coffee shop next door and sit down. Let's sit down and talk while drinking coffee!"
Although Nie Yao didn't want to say a word to Ji Minghuan, she also didn't want to disturb the quiet atmosphere of the library, so she could only patiently agree to Ji Minghuan's request.
When they sat down in the coffee shop, Ji Minghuan didn't rush to talk about what happened just now. Instead, he smiled and asked Nie Yao, "What flavor of coffee do you like?"
