The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

An Xiyan, with a teasing tone and a half-smile, looked at the somewhat embarrassed Zhu Yang and continued, "Besides, didn't we just attend a class reunion a few days ago? If I remember correctly, you organized it, right? How come you're asking me out for dinner alone again so soon? I've never seen you so proactive before, and now you're trying to get me drunk..."

As she continued her rambling, the embarrassment on Zhu Yang's face grew stronger.

However...

An Xiyan did not stop there.

She was called a "smiling tiger" or a "madwoman" because she had certain distinctive characteristics.

so...

As she was talking, she suddenly blurted out, "Could it be that you like me? You want to pursue me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yang's embarrassed expression instantly froze.

He stared wide-eyed at An Xiyan, momentarily at a loss for words...

This woman!

After all these years, you're still so unreliable!

This is precisely why he is not very willing to deal with this woman.

They're really good at talking.

They enjoy making embarrassing jokes, and once they get the chance, they won't hold back in teasing others.

chatter...

Upon seeing this, An Xiyan's lips curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

She continued teasingly, "Oh dear, what's with that expression? Did I hit the nail on the head? When did this happen? But I still advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible. It's useless. This beautiful woman already has a child, and I love my husband very much..."

This is getting more and more outrageous!

Zhu Yang took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and tried his best to regain his composure.

Then, forcing a smile, he shook his head and said helplessly, "Prosecutor An Xiyan, please stop joking. Don't worry, I absolutely have no intention of pursuing you. Besides, I have a family, and I love my wife very much!"

Zhu Yang emphasized the last sentence.

Then he pointed to the dishes on the table in front of him: "This meal really has no other meaning than to entertain you. After all, we are good friends!"

"Hey, that's a bit of a lie when you say we're good friends..."

An Xiyan's smile remained unchanged, but she pointed out bluntly, "Since graduating from the training institute, all these years later, apart from that gathering a few days ago, have you contacted me even once? 'Good friend,' how can you say that?"

Speaking of which.

Zhu Yang's face flushed slightly again; what he had just said was indeed a bit far-fetched.

In fact.

He had anticipated this awkward situation.

After leaving Li Shengmin's office that day, Zhu Yang intended to contact An Xiyan immediately and give her a heads-up about the investigation.

But after thinking it over, I still felt it was too awkward.

As An Xiyan just said, the two haven't been in contact for several years.

Direct ventilation is definitely not appropriate.

So Zhu Yang had a flash of inspiration and changed his approach. He wanted to use the guise of organizing a gathering to subtly reveal the information during the meal.

However...

The idea was grand, but the reality was harsh.

He did attend the gathering, but he didn't get a good opportunity to get in touch with An Xiyan.

Forget it, all his hard work has been wasted.

but...

It wasn't a complete loss; at least this one-on-one meeting didn't seem so abrupt.

Like now.

With the previous dinner gathering as a foundation, coupled with An Xiyan's constant teasing from the moment they entered the room until now, things have progressed smoothly.

Zhu Yang realized that he had unknowingly developed a slight resistance.

It doesn't seem so awkward anymore.

So he decided to throw caution to the wind, revert to his old ways, and retorted directly, "Hey, An Xiyan, you're so heartless! All you do is criticize me. At least I contacted you once. Have you ever contacted me?"

"Eh..."

An Xiyan looked him up and down curiously, as if she had suddenly discovered a new continent, and asked strangely, "So, I never said we were good friends..."

De'er!

Zhu Yang was taken aback by An Xiyan's words. He stared at her in disbelief, his eyes wide. He was truly speechless.

Witch, she's a fucking witch!

If there's nothing to say, then there's nothing more to say.

At this moment, Zhu Yang seemed to have forgotten his purpose and ignored her, filling his own wine glass and drinking by himself.

Eat as much as you like!

"Alright, alright, look at you, so stingy. You call yourself a grown man..."

He remained silent, sulking, while An Xiyan began to make amends. She giggled and even picked up the wine bottle next to Zhu Yang, pouring herself a glass.

He stretched the glass out to Zhu Yang and said boldly, "Come on, let's have a toast to this sumptuous dinner!"

However...

Zhu Yang merely raised his eyes slightly, continuing to eat his food without paying her any attention.

But An Xiyan didn't care at all. Her smile remained unchanged, and she didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, she got up and ran to his side, forcefully shoving the wine glass into his hand.

I forced him to drink one, and he downed it in one gulp.

Then, laughing heartily, he returned to his seat and began to devour his food...

Zhu Yang remained, holding his wine glass, his expression one of profound unease, silent for a long time...

......

Chapter 365 An Xiyan's Analysis

Perhaps the motto of Ahn Hee-yeon is, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed."

In Zhu Yang's view...

An Xiyan was a woman who did things her own way and behaved strangely, which made her very difficult for him to understand.

But inexplicably...

Zhu Yang, however, felt a touch of admiration for this woman.

One thing he had to admit was that, among all the colleagues he had met, perhaps only this woman could truly be called an upright and incorruptible prosecutor.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

An Xiyan puffed out her cheeks, chewing her food as she mumbled, "Although I also think the chances of you liking me are slim, if you keep staring at me like that, it's making me suspicious..."

"No, I was just watching to see how you managed to stuff so much meat in there..."

Zhu Yang coughed twice, changing the subject: "By the way, is your Supervision Department really that busy? It's just a short walk, we agreed to meet at six, and you only arrived at seven..."

"You have to understand, I've only just been transferred to your central district prosecutor's office..."

Swallowing the food in her mouth, An Xiyan sighed and said slowly, "So, you know, I'm a newbie now, so of course I have to be diligent and not give the higher-ups any reason to criticize me, right?"

As she spoke, she blinked.

This small gesture made Zhu Yang feel that the relationship between the two had become much closer.

In fact.

When he said Ahn Hee-yeon was difficult to get along with, he was only referring to her cold and unapproachable attitude at work.

In private, however, Ahn Hee-yeon is actually a very interesting woman.

to be honest.

If you don't fall into her hands, then she is truly a very good friend.

If you fall into her hands, then you can expect to be in trouble.

"Ah, I'm so full! Korean beef really tastes amazing..."

An Xiyan clutched her stomach, leaned back in her chair, and looked at Zhu Yang with a half-smile, saying, "Now tell me, what exactly did you want to see me about today? It can't really be just about inviting me to dinner, can it?"

With a slight smile, her eyes crinkled at the corners, making her look like a cunning little fox.

The light in his eyes seemed to pierce right into people's hearts.

"Don't worry, I'm obligated to help you since I accepted your invitation. After all, we're good friends."

When she said the words "good friend," An Xiyan emphasized them.
