Chen Yu'an's face was so dark that it seemed to drip water.
He reached out his hand to Qingmian again. "Erbao, I'm your brother. Come home with me."
Unexpectedly, Qingmian shrank her head into Lu Wenxi's arms and mumbled in a muffled voice, "Brother? I... I don't have a brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Wenxuan secretly sighed that something was wrong. He grabbed Lu Wenxi and walked out.
Seeing this, Ji Bai also stood up. He put his hand under Lu Wenxi's other arm. "I have a surgery tomorrow. I'll leave first."
Losing her support, Qingmian fell straight backward, completely unaware of what she had said.
Chen Yu'an reached out his hand, but suddenly he was grabbed by the woman behind him.
Chi Yu, who was right in front, was quick - witted. He supported Qingmian one step ahead of Chen Yu'an.
Qingmian just leaned motionless in his arms.
Chen Yu'an turned to look at An Ya, his eyes full of warnings.
Seeing his look, An Ya subconsciously let go of her hand.
Chen Yu'an stepped forward, getting close to Qingmian and trying to pick her up. But Chi Yu suddenly leaned backward. Qingmian's body also fell backward accordingly, and Chen Yu'an's hand froze in the air.
He looked at Chi Yu in confusion.
Then he heard the man say in a soft voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your fiancée is still here. The approval hasn't come down yet. You don't want to provoke her at this time, do you?"
As Chi Yu was speaking, he glanced at An Ya behind Chen Yu'an, and then continued, "Don't worry. I'll send her back safely."
Chen Yu'an thought for a moment. His fingers that were frozen in mid - air curled slightly and then tightly clenched into a fist.
"Okay. I'll wait for you at home."
After saying that, Chen Yu'an turned around and strode out.
Seeing his gloomy face, An Ya didn't dare to say a word and just silently followed behind him.
"Tan Si, send Miss An home."
Chen Yu'an shouted to the man beside him.
An Ya quickly refused and pushed Tan Si away. She walked around in front of Chen Yu'an. "A Yu!"
Chen Yu'an stopped. "Does Miss An have anything else to say?"
"Can... Can I go to your place tonight?" An Ya stammered.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of her suddenly burst into laughter the next second. "Is Miss An joking with me?"
An Ya blushed. It was the first time she had made such a plea to a man, but what she got in return was the ridicule of the man she loved. She didn't back down. She plucked up her courage and said, "We're going to get married next month. There's nothing wrong with us living together now."
"Besides, it's the 21st century. It's normal for a fiancée and a fiancé to live together even if they're not married yet."
Chen Yu'an reached out and rubbed his slightly aching temples. "Miss An, are you so horny? Can't you wait to get into my bed?"
"A Yu!"
An Ya had never suffered such humiliation. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
Chen Yu'an ignored her and walked forward.
An Ya didn't want to give up this rare opportunity. It was An Shengwang who had sabotaged Chen Yu'an's project approval this time. She must seize this opportunity.
"Just one night!"
She shouted at the man's back.
The man in the distance stopped, turned around and looked at her. "I'm a businessman. I never do losing business. Miss An can tell me what conditions can attract me. Maybe I can consider it."
An Ya only felt a chill in her heart. She had never heard that there needed to be exchange conditions to stay at her fiancé's place for one night.
Chen Yu'an was heartless. Anyone could be a pawn for him to climb up. Marriage was just a stepping - stone for him.
But An Ya was willing. As long as she could succeed tonight, as long as she could conceive a child with Chen Yu'an, she was willing to pay anything.
"The project approval for the suburban amusement park."
"As long as you let me go to your place tonight, I guarantee that the approval for the suburban amusement park will be passed tomorrow."
An Ya stared at Chen Yu'an. Her heart was beating fast, and her palms were already soaked with sweat. The suburban amusement park project was not very eye - catching. She wasn't sure if this condition was attractive to Chen Yu'an.
But this was the only condition she could use as a bargaining chip now.
"Deal."
The man's voice suddenly sounded.
An Ya looked up in surprise and was about to step forward to hold Chen Yu'an's arm.
Before she could touch the corner of the man's clothes, she was blocked by Tan Si.
"Miss An, please come with me."
An Ya looked blank, looking at Chen Yu'an walking away in confusion. Didn't she go in the same car with him?
Tan Si seemed to see her question. He led her towards the parking lot on the other side and rarely explained, "Sir has a client next door. I'll send Miss An home first."
An Ya breathed a sigh of relief. So that was it. She thought Chen Yu'an was reluctant to share a car with her. It seemed that she had overthought.
Thinking about what was about to happen later, her steps became lighter.
At the same time, inside the private room.
Chi Yu looked at the woman quietly leaning in his arms and softly called out, "Little crybaby?"
Just as he was about to pick her up, he suddenly felt a warm drop of liquid on the back of his hand.
Chi Yu looked down at her. The woman in his arms seemed to be having a nightmare. Her face was covered with tears, and her mouth was constantly mumbling something. He leaned his head close to Qingmian's mouth, but he couldn't hear clearly what she was sobbing.
Chi Yu sighed and murmured to himself, "The little crybaby really lives up to her name."
He took off his coat, wrapped the woman in it, and made sure she wouldn't be touched by a single gust of cold wind before picking her up and walking out.
The night wind in the imperial capital was cold. Qingmian had drunk a lot of wine. At this time, being blown by the wind, she was very likely to catch a cold.
She was too thin. Her face was chubby three years ago, but now she was so small, and her face had become an oval face. The baby fat was gone.
She mustn't get sick again. Her small body couldn't bear it.
Chi Yu put her in the passenger seat, carefully fastened her seat - belt, closed the car door, and then walked around to the driver's seat and bent into the car.
The black Koenigsegg sped like lightning in the night sky. Its figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, in Qingyuan.
As soon as An Ya got out of the car, she saw the row of cat houses in the yard. They were specially built by Qingmian for stray cats. At this time, the kittens inside were sleeping quietly.
Hearing the noise outside, a few bolder ones walked out of the cat houses, circled around An Ya a few times, and made an attacking gesture.
An Ya was so scared that she hid behind Tan Si.
Tan Si said, "These are the cats raised by the young lady. They won't attack people actively."
An Ya's voice went up several octaves. "Isn't this an active attack?"
Tan Si stood still and didn't say a word.
She was just about to ask Tan Si to drive the cats away when Chen Yu'an walked over at this time. As soon as the kittens saw him, they immediately tucked their tails between their legs and ran back into the cat houses.
An Ya sneered in her heart. These cats really knew how to judge people. Once tonight's plan succeeded, she would throw all these cats away!
