After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 531

An Nuan looked intently at Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang spoke in an unhurried manner, "That evening, A Huai and some people from the municipal government office went out for dinner. After the second round, he had drunk a bit too much, though he wasn't drunk. But to an outsider, he might have seemed intoxicated. After leaving the restaurant, An Xiao was waiting for A Huai at the entrance. When she saw him, she went over to support him. To be honest, if I hadn't been able to see clearly, for a moment I might have thought it was you."

An Nuan frowned.

"An Xiao did it on purpose, intending to take advantage of A Huai's apparent drunkenness," Qin Jiang explained, then continued, "But A Huai played along and left with An Xiao, going to a hotel. Once there, with my cover, A Huai left. So it was me who sent him back home that night, as you should remember."

"Mmhmm." An Nuan nodded.

She even remembered that Ye Jinghuai seemed... somewhat out of control that night.

So.

Had he been provoked by An Xiao?!

An Nuan told herself that now was not the time to dwell on this.

She listened as Qin Jiang said, "It was only on the way back when I sent him home that I realized A Huai had been drugged."

"What?" An Nuan looked at Qin Jiang.

That evening, Ye Jinghuai had seemed somewhat unrestrained, but not at all like he had truly been drugged.

She remembered the last time Qi Qi had been drugged - he had completely lost control.

Ye Jinghuai, on the other hand... had been quite restrained.

Qin Jiang seemed to have noticed An Nuan's thoughts, and said bluntly, "His self-discipline exceeds your imagination."

An Nuan nodded, believing what Qin Jiang said.

The more she got to know Ye Jinghuai, the more she discovered his astonishing side.

So.

Ye Jinghuai's behavior wasn't because of An Xiao...

Alright.

She admitted that she was actually quite concerned.

Because of love, she had an intense sense of possession.

"After I sent A Huai back, I received a call saying that An Xiao had gone missing right under our noses," Qin Jiang stated bluntly. "So currently, the only evidence I have is that A Huai did not rape An Xiao, but no evidence of how An Xiao might have been killed."

"In other words, we can only clear Ye Jinghuai's name, but cannot accuse anyone else," An Nuan's expression grew somber.

What she wanted was not merely to clear Ye Jinghuai's name.

She also wanted whoever harmed Ye Jinghuai to meet a wretched end!

Qin Jiang said, "At any rate, as long as A Huai is innocent, that's enough. As for the rest, we can slowly gather more evidence."

An Nuan nodded.

At that moment, An Nuan's phone suddenly rang.

An Nuan glanced at it, then told Qin Jiang and Xiao Nanchen, "It's Gu Yan Sheng."

"Answer it."

"Okay." An Nuan answered the call, "Hello."

"What the hell are you playing at!" Gu Yan Sheng's voice came through, subdued but unmistakably gritting his teeth in anger.

An Nuan chuckled, "Did I interrupt your wedding night!"

"An Nuan, what exactly do you want!" Gu Yan Sheng was fuming.

He had just returned home to the bridal suite, and he and his Bride Di Xinyao were about to go to bed. Although Di Xinyao was pregnant and couldn't be intimate for the first three months, he had already prepared all the romance and ceremony, intending to win Di Xinyao's favor and make her fall completely for him. But just as the two were getting intimate, there was a knock on the door from the staff.

The butler handed him a red envelope.

Written on the envelope was "An Nuan", and inside was a note saying, "If you don't call me tonight, you'll regret it."

He didn't want to entertain it at first.

But recalling how An Nuan had almost seduced him at the banquet earlier, he felt extremely uneasy.

After some hesitation, he told Di Xinyao he had some work matters to attend to, then stepped out of the room to call An Nuan.

"I want to see Ye Jinghuai."

"Are you out of your mind!" Gu Yan Sheng made no effort to conceal his outrage as he viciously said to An Nuan, "Who do you think you are, thinking you can just see him because you want to?! Let me tell you An Nuan, to me, you're nothing now! Don't think you can act all high and mighty just because you made me lose control for a second or two today. Do you really think I have feelings for you? I was just trying to humiliate you. A woman like you, even if you were stripped naked on my bed I'd find you disgusting..."

"I'm sending you something," An Nuan had no interest in listening to Gu Yan Sheng's nonsense.

She didn't bother exposing his hypocrisy either.

Perhaps in the past Gu Yan Sheng truly had no interest in her - she was all too familiar with how indifferent his gaze had been towards her in the previous life.

But his reaction to her today made it crystal clear how much he desired her.

She said, "I suggest you turn your phone to silent and watch it secretly, otherwise... you'll regret it."

With that, An Nuan hung up.

She told Qin Jiang and Xiao Nanchen, "I'll go see Ye Jinghuai in a bit. You two don't need to come."

"You're going alone?!" Qin Jiang clearly had reservations.

So did Xiao Nanchen.

"Yes, someone as cautious as Gu Yan Sheng would never let me bring you two along," An Nuan stated directly. "Don't worry, he won't dare do anything to me. At this point, he's extremely wary of me. After being schemed against so many times, he won't rashly act against me."

Although Qin Jiang and Xiao Nanchen were still uneasy, they didn't say anything further.

After all, given the current circumstances, they could only go with the flow.

Five minutes later, An Nuan's phone rang again.

Gu Yan Sheng's voice was strained, as if he was about to roar, "An Nuan, you're scheming against me again!"

An Nuan laughed, "Since you knew I was scheming, yet you still couldn't resist, dear Mr. Gu, does that mean I'm irresistibly charming, or that you're just hopelessly stupid?!"

"An Nuan!" Gu Yan Sheng felt like he could kill An Nuan right then and there.

He was so enraged his whole body was shaking.

"Just for tonight," An Nuan didn't want to waste any more time. "I'm waiting for you to come pick me up so I can see Ye Jinghuai."

An Nuan hung up again.

She had to give Gu Yan Sheng some time to make arrangements.

As for the detention center, it wouldn't be difficult since Gu Yan Sheng was at the height of his power - he could easily arrange a visit with Ye Jinghuai with just a call.

What was trickier was properly handling his new Bride Di Xinyao tonight - he would have to pacify her first before anything else.

Gu Yan Sheng put down his phone, suppressing his anger over and over before returning to the bedroom.

Di Xinyao was a bit tired from today's wedding.

She was lying on the bed, somewhat drowsy.

Gu Yan Sheng went over and kissed her lips, "Sweetheart, are you tired?"

"Mmhmm."

"I actually had a surprise planned for you," Gu Yan Sheng sounded regretful. "But your health is most important, especially since you're pregnant now. Get some rest."

"What surprise?" Di Xinyao tried to stay awake.

"What do you think?" Gu Yan Sheng gave her a mischievous smile.

"The doctor said no intimacy for the first three months."

"But he didn't say I couldn't..." Gu Yan Sheng buried his face in Di Xinyao's neck.

Di Xinyao felt ticklish, "Alright, quit it."

But Gu Yan Sheng persisted, deliberately provoking Di Xinyao.

Afraid that Gu Yan Sheng might lose control, Di Xinyao quickly pushed him away, "I'm exhausted, I need to sleep."

Gu Yan Sheng looked utterly unsatisfied, but his aim was precisely to get Di Xinyao to reject him outright!
