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

Chapter 358

On the phone screen, the three words Ye Jinghuai flashed.

Ye Jinghuai had been away for a week.

He called her every day.

It was usually around this time.

Basically after they both got off work.

It had become the most anticipated moment of An Nuan's day.

She controlled the pounding of her heart and picked up. "Off work?"

"Just got in the car heading home. You?" Ye Jinghuai's magnetic yet gentle voice came through.

"Me too."

"That busy?" Ye Jinghuai asked her.

"Working on the Nanwan New City project."

"I got a call from Qin Jiang today."

"I've always been curious why Qin Jiang listens to you so much," An Nuan raised her brow.

The Qin family had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Even the four big families gave the Qin family some deference.

Yet Qin Jiang had always followed Ye Jinghuai like a puppy. She just couldn't figure it out.

"Want to know badly?" Ye Jinghuai raised his brow.

"Will you tell me?"

"No."

Damn it!

"But this doesn't stop you from making full use of Qin Jiang," Ye Jinghuai conveyed to her.

"You're sure I can use Qin Jiang however I want?" An Nuan raised her brow.

"Madam Ye, don't worry, no matter how you use Qin Jiang, he won't make a mistake with you."

"......" Damn, was this some kind of warning?

"Have you had dinner yet?" Ye Jinghuai suddenly changed the topic.

"I've eaten, you?"

"I've eaten but I still feel hungry."

"Then eat some more."

"Feels like I'm still hungry no matter what I eat." Ye Jinghuai sounded somewhat melancholy.

"Don't like the food there?"

"No, it's because Madam Ye isn't here."

An Nuan frowned.

"Can't have you, always feel hungry."

"......" Damn!

"Does Madam Ye miss me when she sees things that remind her of me?" Ye Jinghuai asked again.

"No." An Nuan denied it outright.

She didn't want Ye Jinghuai to tease her.

"I knew it." Ye Jinghuai sounded somewhat disappointed.

His tone made An Nuan feel a little cruel, as if she had let down Ye Jinghuai's sincerity.

"But every night I look at Madam Ye's things and think of you," Ye Jinghuai said, clearly being vulgar.

"......" An Nuan suspected he was driving.

At this moment she really was blushing from Ye Jinghuai's words.

"I'm home." Unable to counter, An Nuan chose to escape.

Afraid to continue this conversation.

Ye Jinghuai would shamelessly say who knows what over the phone...

She didn't dare continue that train of thought.

"Remember to think of me, good night."

Like hell she'd think of him.

An Nuan hastily hung up the phone.

At that moment she clearly felt somewhat flushed.

That lewd Ye Jinghuai.

Felt like she could get pregnant just from talking to him on the phone.

On the other end after hanging up, Ye Jinghuai also sighed softly.

He gazed at the unfamiliar nightscape of Jiang City.

One day.

He would definitely, cleanly and simply, return to An Nuan's side.

...

Xia Qiqi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Ever since An Nuan called her, she'd had insomnia.

She sat up and looked at the time.

1 AM.

Yet she didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.

Her stomach also felt a little uncomfortable.

She really couldn't take it anymore. She got out of bed, planning to drink some hot water.

Outside the room.

A dim light was left on in the living room.

In the distance, she could see someone lying on the sofa.

For a week now, Xiao Nanchen had been sleeping on the sofa every night.

Sprawled there, she didn't know if he was sleeping well or not.

But it was none of her business anyway.

She headed to the kitchen to get some hot water.

Just as she placed the cup under the water dispenser, her stomach suddenly churned.

Sometimes morning sickness really did come on suddenly.

Xia Qiqi retched once but before she could find a trash can, she couldn't help throwing up on the floor.

She had thrown up quite a bit just now.

Now it was almost just water.

She miserably crouched on the floor, covering her stomach, retching again and again.

Beside her.

A person suddenly appeared, and then a pair of warm, big hands gently caressed her back.

It seemed he wanted to alleviate her vomiting.

Xia Qiqi had originally wanted to refuse, but at that moment her churning stomach prevented her from speaking.

She vomited for quite a while.

Only then did she feel slightly better.

"Feeling better?" Xiao Nanchen asked her.

Xia Qiqi didn't respond.

Xiao Nanchen handed her some tissues.

Xia Qiqi took them and casually wiped her lips, then stood up from the floor.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Xiao Nanchen asked.

"No need," Xia Qiqi said. "Best if you torment me to death."

Leaving behind those angry words, Xia Qiqi took her cup of hot water and left.

Xiao Nanchen watched Xia Qiqi's retreating figure and didn't say anything more.

He went to the utility room to grab a mop to clean up the mess Xia Qiqi had vomited.

Being in a wheelchair made it very inconvenient.

When Xia Qiqi came out of her room again, she saw Xiao Nanchen cleaning up the vomit.

Her eyes paused.

She had actually planned to clean it up herself after feeling better.

After all, it was so late, she didn't want to make Leqing get up. And leaving it uncleaned felt gross.

Xia Qiqi didn't know why, but seeing Xiao Nanchen like this inexplicably irritated her.

She went over and snatched the mop from him. "I'll do it myself."

Xiao Nanchen looked at Xia Qiqi.

"I don't need your help." Xia Qiqi stated plainly.

Then she earnestly mopped the floor.

Xiao Nanchen had already cleaned most of it anyway.

Xia Qiqi was just finishing up.

Xiao Nanchen didn't say anything more. He wheeled his chair toward the sofa.

Xia Qiqi just glanced at him.

Then she saw Xiao Nanchen trying very hard to get onto the sofa from his wheelchair. Unlike a bed, the sofa was clearly very inconvenient for Xiao Nanchen with both his legs disabled.

Xia Qiqi was truly annoyed to no end.

Every time she saw Xiao Nanchen she felt all kinds of unhappy.

"Fine, go sleep on the bed!" Xia Qiqi said irritably.

She had to admit, her insomnia tonight was undoubtedly related to Xiao Nanchen.

She just kept thinking about what An Nuan had told her, how bad it was for Xiao Nanchen to sleep on the sofa.

How bad it was for his health!

Why the hell should she care if he lives or dies?!

Xia Qiqi felt like she was going to have a breakdown from her own self!
