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

Chapter 298

Elegant and romantic Western restaurant.

The waiter respectfully served them dinner.

The two held knives and forks, eating the portions on their plates.

There was only one table of customers in the restaurant.

Ye Jinghuai didn't know if he had booked the whole venue or if... it was already late at night and all the other customers had left.

"Ye Jinghuai," An Nuan called his name.

"Hmm?" Ye Jinghuai looked up at her.

No matter when, he always seemed to be listening carefully.

An Nuan remembered Gu Yan Sheng.

She remembered his perfunctory attitude towards her after they got married.

Sometimes she had to repeat herself at least three times before he would really listen.

Sometimes, he simply told her not to speak, saying he was too tired all day and needed to rest, asking her to keep as quiet as possible.

An Nuan controlled the turmoil in her heart.

She thought, probably only on the day Gu Yan Sheng dies could she fully vent the resentment suppressed in her heart.

She said, "Why didn't you call me? If you had called, I could have gotten off work early."

There was no need to guess.

She had never been able to refuse Ye Jinghuai’s requests.

Ye Jinghuai seriously cut the steak, indifferently said, "It's not like waiting for you is a day or two, I'm used to it."

An Nuan frowned.

She didn’t remember Ye Jinghuai ever waiting for her?!

Had she lost her memory?!

"Besides, you came after finishing work, didn't you?" Ye Jinghuai even seemed to think it was a matter of course.

An Nuan really didn’t understand Ye Jinghuai.

How could he wait for her like this and really not feel tired?!

"Alright." Ye Jinghuai suddenly said.

An Nuan knitted her brows.

What was alright?!

Could Ye Jinghuai stop being so pretentious.

She was really...afraid.

At that moment, she saw Ye Jinghuai suddenly stand up, and then very gentlemanly swap the steak on his plate that had been cut into small pieces with An Nuan’s steak that she had taken two bites of.

An Nuan just watched him.

Ye Jinghuai smiled, "You can eat it directly now."

Didn’t she have hands?!

And she wasn’t that fussy either.

Also, she had already eaten from the piece of steak now on Ye Jinghuai’s plate.

Yet she now saw him cut off a small piece with no qualms whatsoever and put it in his mouth.

An Nuan looked back down.

She lowered her head to look at the small pieces of steak on the plate.

She said, "Thank you."

It seemed she could no longer find the words to express her inner feelings of being moved.

Ye Jinghuai really treated her...too well.

So well that she could no longer refuse, no longer wanted to refuse.

"I don't accept verbal thanks," Ye Jinghuai's tone still contained some frivolity.

He would simply never let the atmosphere become too heavy.

An Nuan looked up at him.

"Miss An knows what I like most..." Ye Jinghuai's voice suddenly disappeared.

All that was heard was a "pop".

An Nuan left a kiss on his lips.

After the kiss, she immediately sat back in her own seat, as if successfully ambushing him, yet also like a child who had done something wrong, proper and slightly shy.

Ye Jinghuai looked at An Nuan for a long time.

Looking until An Nuan wanted to crawl into a hole.

The next second, she saw Ye Jinghuai's tongue gently lick his lips...

Simply.

Sexy as hell.

The two then finished their romantic dinner in a picturesque manner.

Afterwards, they went back home together.

No matter how late it was when they got home, Uncle Zhong would always be waiting for them.

"Ye Jinghuai," after eating the bird's nest Uncle Zhong had handed her, An Nuan went back to the room with Ye Jinghuai. As they walked, she asked, "Where did you find such a good butler?"

Ye Jinghuai turned to look at An Nuan. He slowly said, "Would you believe me if I said I traded my life for him?"

An Nuan was startled.

For a second, she thought Ye Jinghuai was joking.

For another second, she felt like...it was true.

Ye Jinghuai didn't offer any further explanation at that moment. He reached out and stroked An Nuan's hair, his face full of indulgence as he said, "What's mine is yours, no need to envy me."

She wasn't envious at all.

She just suddenly felt Ye Jinghuai's identity was probably not simple.

The next day.

Early morning.

When An Nuan rolled over to look for Ye Jinghuai, he was no longer in bed.

An Nuan opened her eyes.

Looking at the empty spot next to her, she inevitably still felt somewhat disappointed.

She thought that at least before leaving he would have woken her up.

But he had left without a sound.

She had actually considered that Ye Jinghuai would leave like this, so she didn't sleep very soundly all night, thinking that at least when he left in the morning she could see him off. She didn't expect that the moment she let her guard down, he would be gone without a trace.

An Nuan stretched lazily and got out of bed.

She automatically glanced at the bedside at that time, looking as expected at the note on the bedside table that read, "Miss me? Send me a message, I’ll reply at the first chance when I receive it. Ah Huai."

Who would miss him?!

This guy seemed always so confident.

She put the note back down.

Put it down.

Yet couldn't help but pick it up again to take another look.

Ye Jinghuai's handwriting was exceptionally beautiful, with firm strokes and flowing font.

She thought.

It was only because the handwriting was so nice that she would look it over and over again.

...

Once Ye Jinghuai left, he really was gone for a full ten days.

During those ten days, An Nuan was actually quite busy tidying up her work, so she spent most of her time focused on work.

Of course whenever she had time, she would pay attention to Ye Jinghuai's campaign trail coverage.

Apart from the local speeches to garner votes, the videos of the speeches would also be posted on the official Ministry of State website for everyone to see their prowess, after all, the people they could reach through campaign trail stops was only a minority.

An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai's and Gu Yan Sheng's number of votes on the website.

Clearly Gu Yan Sheng had been given more exposure recently. If Ye Jinghuai didn’t have his good looks to attract a group of fans voting for his looks, he would have probably long been trampled underfoot by Gu Yan Sheng.

If things carried on like this.

Ye Jinghuai wanting to win would truly be wishful thinking.

An Nuan ultimately still found it somewhat unbearable to accept Gu Yan Sheng's victory.

Reborn for another life, she wished Gu Yan Sheng would fall from power and fade into obscurity, truly unable to endure even a shred of his arrogance and smugness.

She hesitated for a long while.

In the end, she still decided not to call Ye Jinghuai.

He would be coming back tomorrow anyway, they could discuss anything then.

She didn’t want to burden Ye Jinghuai too much right now either.

Just thinking that Ye Jinghuai would be coming back tomorrow...

Her heart clearly skipped a beat.

As An Nuan closed the webpage, ready to start on the next task...

The phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, An Nuan was surprised Ye Jinghuai had taken the initiative to call.

In the ten days, they truly hadn't spoken on the phone, the only interaction being occasional messages.

Actually they didn't chat much via messages either.

Basically whenever Ye Jinghuai went somewhere, he would send her a photo of the place he was at.

Although she didn't reply much.

But every time she saw Ye Jinghuai in the photos, her heart would warm.

She picked up, "Ye Jinghuai."

"I probably won't make it back tomorrow."

"......"

She suddenly had a feeling like being struck by lightning on a sunny day!
