Chapter 203 What if?
After vomiting, An Jin felt much better.
Yan Qing was waiting for her outside the restroom. She slowly walked out, washed her hands, and then took the bottled water that Yan Qing had handed her at some point, and frantically rinsed her mouth.
There were few people around, so the two of them spoke a little louder than usual.
"Should we return it?"
Hearing this, An Jin nodded: "Go back, you've made me drink so much, I have to make you drink back."
Yan Qing's head throbbed at these words. He supported An Jin with one hand and said irritably, "You're all drunk like this, don't you care about your health?"
An Jin said coquettishly, "Just once, I'm happy today."
She enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention.
Yan Qing was at a loss: "Whatever."
I can't control it, and I'm too lazy to control it.
The conversation between the two was not intimate, and if you only listened to one or two sentences, it was actually not too bad.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jinhan, who had followed along, heard the whole thing.
He didn't mean to eavesdrop.
An Jin was forced to drink so much alcohol at the banquet, and he came along because he was worried that something might happen to her.
If Yan Qing wasn't there, Jiang Jinhan would naturally have a reason to appear by An Jin's side.
But there are no "what ifs" in life. Yan Qing is An Jin's assistant, and with him around, Jiang Jinhan naturally has no reason to appear openly and legitimately.
After all, Jiang Jinhan had told An Jin the day before that he wouldn't bother her, so helping her fend off drinks today was already quite outrageous.
After a good rest, An Jin returned to the battlefield in her high heels.
Jiang Jinhan, who overheard the entire conversation between the two, fell into deep thought.
He stared down the corridor where the two figures disappeared, his brow furrowed as he wondered to himself, "Was An'an just... being coquettish?"
The two were not intimate in their conversation, yet they were affectionate.
Yan Qing is clearly the assistant; An Jin is the boss who pays her salary.
But behind closed doors, Yan Qing was able to boss An Jin around, and An Jin didn't get angry at all. Instead, she flattered Yan Qing and acted coquettishly.
Jiang Jinhan sensed something was wrong.
There must be something wrong here.
His anxious feelings found an outlet with those words.
Jiang Jinhan returned to the banquet.
He observed An Jin both openly and secretly, and soon noticed something was wrong.
Jiang Jinhan followed An Jin's gaze and looked at the main table of the banquet.
Just like An Jin, who was surrounded by people and had a lot of online traffic, the company's CEO and partners at the main table were also surrounded by people.
The two sides, surrounded by crowds, are like the sun and the moon, each shining its own light without affecting the other.
But just as An Jin glanced inexplicably at the main table, the sun and the moon met.
The company's CEO, beaming, walked slowly toward An Jin, accompanied by a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.
As the distance between the two sides grew closer, the other streamers either looked puzzled or quickly walked away, all with expressions that seemed to think their boss was up to something strange again.
Only An Jin didn't move an inch from beginning to end, and her expression didn't change at all.
The company's CEO smiled and introduced, "Look, this is our platform's hottest star right now."
The boss spoke with a deliberately familiar tone. He first introduced An Jin, and then smiled as he introduced the middle-aged man in a suit next to him.
"Come on, An'an, this is Chen Su, our company's partner. You can just call him General Manager Chen."
An Jin's professional smile turned somewhat meaningful the moment she saw President Chen.
She extended her hand and greeted people in a slightly unsettlingly sweet voice, drawing out the last syllable.
"Hello Mr. Chen—I'm An'an—"
Mr. Chen extended his hand without changing his expression: "Hello."
Their hands clasped briefly before quickly separating.
There was nothing wrong at first, but Jiang Jinhan, who was standing in the crowd, still noticed that something was amiss.
An Jin's eyes swelled by ten percent immediately after President Chen said hello.
In layman's terms.
An Jin rolled her eyes.
Jiang Jinhan was a regular viewer of An Jin's live stream. Because of the game, he even spent some time getting to know An Jin.
He watched the screen recordings of their time together countless times, clearly remembering every vivid expression on An Jin's face.
So even though An Jin rolled her eyes very restrainedly and subtly.
Jiang Jinhan still figured it out.
An Jin was taken away.
The sun and moon left together, and the remaining stars gathered together.
"What does the boss mean by this?"
"Holy crap, does this mean he's introducing An'an to his network? Is President Chen planning to hire An'an as a spokesperson?"
"Be bold, what if it's an unspoken rule?"
"What the hell? Are you out of your mind? How can you say something like that?"
"No? You really took it seriously? I was just kidding."
"Please, your expression and tone don't suggest you're joking at all."
......
The online influencers were secretly gossiping about it.
Jiang Jinhan, however, focused all his attention on finding the answer.
He silently found a good spot and began to observe the situation at the main table.
The company's CEO was saying something, and General Manager Chen was responding. The people at the table were basically talking around these two.
But An Jin didn't have that.
As soon as she arrived at the main table, she squeezed out the hostess's seat. Her smile was shockingly fake. She held chopsticks in her hand, eating her food half-heartedly, and occasionally answering a few questions with an impatient expression.
Jiang Jinhan's eyes were glued to Chen Su.
His heart skipped a beat as he recalled the anchors' earlier banter, his eyes darting back and forth between Chen Su and An Jin.
"President Chen wants to sleep with An'an!"
Jiang Jinhan made a judgment in his mind. He recalled the rumors he had heard from his parents and sister at the dinner table before, and how he accidentally crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Red wine dripped down Jiang Jinhan's hand, the dark red wine mixed with bright red blood, quickly attracting the attention of the staff.
"Sir, are you alright?"
The male waiter quickly stepped forward and said into his earpiece, "A guest at table sixteen is injured..."
Jiang Jinhan reached out to interrupt the male waiter, saying, "I'm fine, you can go now."
He picked up a napkin from the table and hastily wiped away the wine and blood.
Glass shards pierced his flesh, but Jiang Jinhan felt no pain; he only felt anger.
How could the girl he liked so much be kept by someone?
Moreover... even if An Jin were to be kept by a sugar daddy, it shouldn't be someone like Chen Su, an old man who's been ruined by women.
I'm also very rich. If An'an wants to be kept, why doesn't she choose me, who is young and clean?
Jiang Jinhan's mind and heart were in complete turmoil.
He looked towards the main table, a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, which finally coalesced into a single sentence.
If I asked An'an if I would be her sugar daddy, would she agree?
After the main table was empty, An Jin left the banquet hall looking impatient.
Jiang Jinhan followed.
Let's give it a try. How will we know if An'an will agree if we don't try?
What if? What if it works?
