Chapter 112 Drawing a Pie in the Sky
Xue Mingyue, who was watching from the sidelines, was speechless.
"You city folks have gotten so into having fun these days?"
He took a sip of his warm coffee and said disapprovingly, "Old Pei, are you really going to be someone's mistress?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ning's expression immediately became conflicted.
Unexpectedly, An Jin seized the opportunity to say, "Xue Mingyue, your words are too harsh. What do you mean by saying Pei Ning should be my concubine? In my heart, Pei Ning is the rightful wife."
Upon hearing An Jin's words, both Xue Mingyue and Pei Ning were somewhat unable to contain themselves.
Xue Mingyue, in particular, said: "Old Pei, I think you're getting worse and worse."
Such a grown man, yet he was fooled by a woman.
Pei Ning also felt awkward.
But when he put himself in An Jin's shoes, he realized that this was the only solution he could come up with.
Pei Ning sighed softly, "An'an, how much longer are you going to keep up this charade with him?"
He can be a nobody for a while, but he can't be a nobody forever.
An Jin turned to Pei Ning and said, "Give me some time. I need to wait until this hype dies down before I find a chance to break up with him."
She pulled Pei Ning to sit down, her slender fingers wedging themselves between his, gripping him intimately.
The two of them made their small movements under the table, which Xue Mingyue couldn't see. He only saw that Pei Ning's icy face slowly thawed after he sat down.
Xue Mingyue was never short of women around him, and he could tell from Pei Ning's expression that the two of them were definitely up to something.
He stirred the coffee in front of him, unable to bear seeing Pei Ning laughing like an idiot.
"Hey, I'm telling you."
Xue Mingyue spoke up, drawing their attention to herself.
"Are you going back tonight?"
Xue Mingyue, with malicious intent, stirred things up.
An Jin sensed something was wrong as soon as she heard this, and when she turned her head, she saw that Pei Ning's face had darkened again.
"Go back."
An Jin said, "Since it's an affair, we definitely have to avoid people. You can come find me after I finish my competition. It's not easy to go out, and I'll be staying in S City for half a month this time. We'll have a good time then."
She smiled and made empty promises to her.
He willingly swallowed the pancake.
Seeing that her attempt to sow discord had failed, Xue Mingyue sighed and said, "Alright, I won't disturb you two lovebirds any longer. I'm leaving now."
He simply couldn't stand being in this place anymore; the more he looked at it, the angrier he became.
An Jin didn't care at all whether Xue Mingyue stayed or left. She got angry just seeing that jerk. Pei Ning was usually quite easy to coax, but he just had to be the troublemaker in the middle.
An Jin is also very annoyed right now.
Yan Qing and Pei Ning both seem pretty good; they're both high-quality men in the eyes of ordinary people.
She's rich, good-looking, generous, and knows how to sweet-talk.
In reality, they are both unreasonable and domineering. An Jin doesn't know how to argue with Yan Qing when she gets back to the hotel.
She glanced casually at Pei Ning, who was playing with her hand, and sighed inwardly, "If only these two men could switch genders."
The red flag at home remains flying high, while colorful flags flutter outside.
That's what I call awesome!
An Jin and Pei Ning spent the afternoon in the coffee shop, looking at travel guides for S City in a private room while making unwanted advances at each other.
To be honest, Pei Ning really wasted his handsome face.
Her figure was like that of a boiled chicken. An Jin reached in and touched her, then made a regretful tsk-tsk sound.
"How come you don't even have abs? Ningning."
An Jin complained as she continued to reach upwards, unwilling to give up.
What if?
What if Pei Ning doesn't have abs but has pectoral muscles?
Pei Ning nervously let An Jin's hand move around on her chest.
He could hear the disdain in An Jin's words.
I'll go get a yearly gym membership later.
Seeing the disappointed look on An Jin's face, Pei Ning made a decision in his heart.
11 p.m.
An Jin returned to the hotel on time.
She hadn't expected that there would be quite a few people waiting for her at the hotel.
"Why is Brother Wang here too? Are you worried about me?"
Jiang Jinhan asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
An Jin: "I'm fine. That person is my fan. You even played games with him before. That's just the kind of person he is; he likes to tease people."
An Jin concealed her exhaustion and gently persuaded Jiang Jinhan to return to the hotel to rest.
After finally persuading Jiang Jinhan to leave, An Jin turned around and met Yan Qing's gaze again.
Yan Qing: "Did he cause you trouble?"
An Jin nodded: "That's right, they brought Xue Mingyue to force me to abdicate, but I've dealt with it all."
Yan Qing looked at the large and small bags An Jin had brought back: "What did you do with them?"
An Jin grinned and said, "I told him to have an affair with me."
Yan Qing: ? ? ?
"What?"
An Jin chattered away, telling Yan Qing what had happened at the coffee shop.
After she finished laughing, she said to Yan Qing with great pride, "See? I'm good to you, aren't I?"
Yan Qing: "...What's the follow-up if you handle it this way?"
Pei Ning doesn't seem like the type to stay a mistress forever.
An Jin laughed and said, "Let's stall for time and get through this period. I'm too popular online right now. If some bad news breaks at this crucial moment, I'll be finished."
"Let's drag this out a bit longer, until my popularity wanes, until I'm not so hot anymore, until I've made enough money, then it'll be time to break ties with Pei Ning."
As Yan Qing unpacked the things An Jin had brought back, she said, "What will I do if I run into Pei Ning in the future?"
He asked, "Are you pretending not to know, or..."
An Jin thought for a moment and said, "Pretend you don't know. Pei Ning is a proud person, so don't give yourself away."
Yan Qing: "Okay, I'll be careful."
An Jin drank coffee tonight, and the caffeine is making it hard for her to fall asleep.
She turned on the TV with wide eyes, not wanting to play any games, and just sat blankly on the sofa, watching TV while waiting for sleep to come.
Yan Qing didn't know that she couldn't sleep because she had drunk too much coffee. Seeing that An Jin was in a daze after she finished speaking, he thought that An Jin had suffered a loss while entangled with Pei Ning.
He put down what he was doing and tenderly wrapped An Jin in a small blanket.
An Jin was lost in thought when Yan Qing held her in his arms, and only then did she belatedly ask him a question.
What are you doing?
Yan Qing said, "I'll lull you to sleep."
An Jin felt a little confused, but Yan Qing's singing was indeed quite good, so she didn't resist.
In the cozy room, An Jin drifted off to sleep to the gentle strains of Yan Qing's singing.
Seeing that An Jin was asleep, Yan Qing carried her into the bedroom in a princess carry.
He tucked An Jin in, then tidied up the shopping bags on the living room floor before opening the bedroom door and going back to his own room to sleep.
