An Nan’s heart was already so bitter that it couldn’t be more bitter, yet she was filled with unspeakable anguish. Could she pretend she hadn’t seen it and just turn around and leave?
Seeing her arrival, Shen Mengqi seemed to have read her inner world, she stood up abruptly from her chair and grabbed her arm tightly, her face carrying an angry warning: "An Nan, if you walk away now, we’re done."
Saying this, she pulled An Nan to sit down beside her previous seat.
Only then did An Nan had to awkwardly continue to greet, "Brother Lei, long time no see, thanks for last time."
Meanwhile, her heart cursed this heartless woman beside her to the core. What troubled her even more were the things that were to follow, things she wasn’t ready to face just yet.
Just thinking about it briefly, she knew what the man opposite her was going to say.
As expected, someone like Ouyang Lei, without beating around the bush, said, "Miss, when are you planning to come home?"
In an instant, the atmosphere turned icy cold, along with the faint smile on An Nan’s face, "I don’t want to go home for now."
"But Miss, the time you promised Mr. is about to arrive."
"I..." Right, the time, how could she forget? Next month is her twenty-seventh birthday, the promised time is also up, during this period of relaxation, she almost forgot about this.
In An Nan’s repeated silence, Shen Mengqi beside her urgently tried to mediate, "Ouyang Lei, how did you promise me before coming here?" While speaking, she tried hard to signal to him, yet Ouyang Lei ignored her, continuing to focus his sharp gaze on An Nan’s face, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
After finishing a cup of coffee, the anxiety in An Nan’s heart finally calmed down, she then restored her composed look and said to the person beside her, "It’s okay, Brother Lei has never been wrong."
"An Nan." A soft call, the tone clearly disapproving.
An Nan did not continue to look at her, her gaze shifted to Ouyang Lei opposite, and she spoke lightly, "Go back and tell him, if I promise my father, I will certainly fulfill it. I will return on my birthday, but after that, I hope he won’t meddle anymore, especially regarding Jiayou’s matter. Since he never considered acknowledging this grandson, now it’s none of his business."
"An Nan." Ouyang Lei called her name, finally showing some sign of loosening.
An Nan didn’t give him a chance to explain, she stood up directly, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first."
As An Nan turned around, the deep voice behind her once again entered her ears, "I’ll come to pick you up on your birthday."
An Nan did not respond to him, this time she left directly.
Even after she walked far away, she could still hear someone’s angry voice coming from behind. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
"Ouyang Lei, that’s enough! Can’t you stop this? Nannan has suffered enough all these years, yet you are still pressuring her. I truly regret helping you arrange this meeting today."
Clearly, he told her he just wanted to gather, her heart softened to arrange the meeting, unexpectedly he still used her. Now, in An Nan’s heart, she might also be listed as someone to cut ties with.
Shen Mengqi’s expression became more and more unpleasant, and in the next moment, she did something completely unexpected even to herself, she resolutely picked up the coffee cup in front of her, and splashed it towards the other’s face.
