Chapter 343: Ye Jinghuai’s good, An Nuan was moved
Chapter 343
It took An Nuan a long time to calm herself down. Then she temporarily forgot that the pervert Ye Jinghuai had taken her fallen red maple leaf.
Her whole body was sore as she went to wash up and change clothes and put on makeup. Going downstairs was the real trouble.
An Nuan was literally trembling as she walked down, almost falling down from the upstairs. The moment she suddenly saw Uncle Zhong, she naturally pretended to be extremely calm.
She walked to the dining table very calmly and waited to eat breakfast.
As soon as she sat down at the breakfast table, Uncle Zhong hurriedly brought over the breakfast.
"Cake?" An Nuan was a little surprised.
Usually Uncle Zhong's breakfast was quite abundant, rarely just a piece of cake and a cup of milk.
"This is what the young master ordered when he left," Uncle Zhong explained quickly.
An Nuan suddenly remembered the cake they had abandoned last night.
It was supposed to be eaten later.
Later there was no time to eat it at all.
When there was really time, she had fallen asleep.
An Nuan was also hungry.
She didn't eat dinner last night, plus the high-intensity exercise, and then...
Anyway.
An Nuan picked up the spoon and started eating.
The taste was not bad.
An Nuan casually asked, "Uncle Zhong, did you make the cake?"
It didn't look like it was bought from outside.
She had seen the rough frosting decorations on the cake last night. It was not as delicate as the shapes in cake shops, so she knew clearly that it should be made frequently to have this texture and shape.
"No," Uncle Zhong said quickly. "The young master made it himself."
An Nuan was a little surprised.
Uncle Zhong went on, "The young master came back yesterday afternoon. I'm sorry, Madam, I didn't mean to keep it from you on purpose."
"It's alright." An Nuan smiled.
"After the young master came back, he started arranging the room and making cakes. He did everything himself, baking cakes, whipping cream, carving...all by himself," Uncle Zhong said.
"Ye Jinghuai has this skill." Clearly it didn't look like his first time making cake. After all, she had also tried cooking on a whim before, and her first attempt was making cake too. But her cake didn't turn out as fluffy, the cream wasn't as smooth, and carving shapes was out of the question. So it was very clear that he must make cakes frequently to achieve this texture and shape.
"After all, the young master..." What Uncle Zhong was about to say suddenly stopped abruptly.
An Nuan was eating the cake and looked at Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong smiled slightly. "Anyway, the young master was really very thoughtful last night wanting to surprise Madam."
"Mm." An Nuan nodded.
She didn't deny that point.
It just felt that Uncle Zhong was keeping something from her.
Of course she didn't ask further.
After all, she wouldn't make things difficult for others over something Ye Jinghuai didn't say.
"Speaking of which, what time did Ye Jinghuai leave this morning?" An Nuan asked, changing the topic.
"He left at 6 am," Uncle Zhong replied.
"Did you see him off?"
"Just to the door. Hu Feng sent him early in the morning."
"Did he..." An Nuan hesitated.
"The young master must have been reluctant to leave Madam," Uncle Zhong quickly said.
That wasn't what she meant of course.
She said, "Did he seem not quite energetic when he left?"
"No," Uncle Zhong said quickly. "I saw the young master walking fast, taking two steps at a time downstairs, because he was a bit late leaving."
Damn.
Ye Jinghuai could even walk fast enough to stir the wind.
So unfair between men and women.
"Does Madam want more?" Uncle Zhong asked, seeing An Nuan finish one piece.
"No need, thank you."
Saying that, An Nuan wiped her lips and got ready to go to work.
"Wait, Madam," Uncle Zhong called her hurriedly.
An Nuan was puzzled.
Uncle Zhong brought a bowl of red jujube and brown sugar water from the kitchen and placed it in front of An Nuan. "The young master specially told me to simmer this for you. He said you must drink it before going to work."
Was Ye Jinghuai trying to bloat her?!
So early in the morning.
Making her drink so much water.
"The young master said it can replenish blood," Uncle Zhong suddenly said.
Just when An Nuan was about to refuse.
She almost choked on her own saliva.
This Ye Jinghuai idiot.
Who said red sugar water replenishes blood.
Who the hell lost just a bit of blood that needed replenishing.
She didn't say she needed replenishing during her whole week-long period each month.
"Madam?" Uncle Zhong saw An Nuan's face turn red then white, at a loss what to do.
An Nuan picked up the red sugar water in front of her and drank it all in one go.
Although Ye Jinghuai lacked some common sense, but...
It just made people feel strangely moved somehow.
After drinking the red sugar water, An Nuan went to work.
Still taking Hu Feng's car.
"Has Ye Jinghuai boarded the plane?" An Nuan asked him.
Uncle Zhong had just said that Hu Feng sent off Ye Jinghuai.
"He's boarded. The 8:20 flight. He went in at 7:30," Hu Feng replied.
An Nuan acknowledged with a sound.
Hu Feng also chose to remain silent.
Apparently Ye Jinghuai hadn't left any special instructions for Hu Feng either.
Upon arriving at Anshi Group,
An Nuan had just walked into her office
When Luo Si followed behind her, saying "The groundbreaking ceremony for the Nanwan New City construction project is being held at 3pm this afternoon in Nanwan New City. We've been invited to attend. The chairman's secretary informed me to have you accompany the chairman there."
"Is it just a groundbreaking ceremony?" An Nuan asked.
"No," Luo Si replied. "The project bidding rules will be announced on site. I heard that many large and small enterprises from Qingcheng will attend, so the Planning Bureau also invited extensively for fairness."
"Okay, I know. Go inform the chairman. I'll accompany him there this afternoon," said An Nuan.
"Yes." Luo Si left.
An Nuan sat in her office chair, not really in the mood to do anything else at the moment.
Her mind kept going back to the Nanwan New City construction at the time.
This time.
She absolutely could not let the Gu family take the slightest advantage.
She thought.
As she thought and thought, somehow she randomly thought of Ye Jinghuai too.
With several hours of flight, he should have only flown less than halfway by now.
She picked up then put down her phone again.
Calling wouldn't connect anyway.
An Nuan took a deep breath.
No wonder relationships weren't allowed during adolescence. Being in a relationship clearly affected studies.
Look at her now. A full grown adult, yet her self-control was gone after starting a relationship. Let alone kids!
An Nuan forced herself to focus on work.
After all.
If she couldn't stand half a day apart.
She wouldn't be able to stand half a year apart without dying from heartache!
An Nuan opened her laptop and made herself process work documents.
At 1:20pm,
An Nuan sat in her father's dedicated sedan car, accompanying him to the Nanwan New City site to attend the new city's groundbreaking ceremony.
"How does my An Nuan see this project?" An Yanyuan asked suddenly.
"We will definitely succeed," An Nuan said directly.
"I looked today, there is still some competition," An Yanyuan reminded. "Don't be too complacent."
"Mm." An Nuan nodded.
She had been too benevolent in her previous life, giving all the benefits to the Gu family with open hands.
But in this life.
She would make them unable to swallow what they bit off!
