The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Ji Yishu and Xiao Ziqian looked at the figure at the door, then at the open curtains, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Especially Ji Yishu.

I stared blankly for a few seconds at the empty space behind the curtains.

"impossible."

She tried pulling on the other side, but still nothing.

She was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that she's overthinking things?

"Miss Ji, did you see it?"

Jiang Nan glanced at her, then turned her face towards the door, a cold smile curving her lips.

Xiao Ziqian felt a great weight lift from his heart, secretly relieved.

He knew it all along; the aloof and proud Jiang Nan had been with him for two years, never letting him touch her, so why would she be looking for someone else outside?

He was getting stuck on a single point before.

Because Jiang Nan threatened to break off the engagement, Wen Wan encouraged him, and the Wen family couple repeatedly pressured him to speed up his plans.

He was confused for a moment, so he drugged Jiang Nan and then hit Master Mo.

Xiao Beixun walked in with his tall figure, exuding a fierce and powerful aura.

"The party starts at nine o'clock, and you guys still have time to fool around?"

His voice was cold and deep, carrying a strong sense of pressure.

Jiang Nan raised her eyelids, staring intently as he entered, and parted her red lips, "Third Master, you've come at just the right time."

"I was just taking a nap when Miss Ji and Xiao Ziqian barged in with their room cards. Before we could even exchange a few words, they accused me of hiding a man in the room."

Jiang Nan looked at Xiao Beixun with a half-smile, "I can't stop her. What Miss Ji is doing now has violated my personal privacy and right to reputation. I think I won't go to the party. Let's just call the police."

Jiang Nan took out his phone to make a call.

Ji Yishu's expression changed slightly. "Jiang Nan, I just want you and Ziqian to clear up the misunderstanding."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Nan stared at her amusedly. "So, Xiao Ziqian thought I was hiding a man, and asked you to help find him?"

"Is that what you mean?"

Jiang Nan's questioning gaze fell on Xiao Ziqian.

An air of nobility and arrogance emanated from him.

She was like a flamboyant, thorny red rose, breathtakingly beautiful, yet too beautiful to touch.

Xiao Ziqian frowned and explained gently, "Nan Nan, I never meant that, nor did I ask Yi Shu to do it."

Jiang Nan, her face cold, ignored him and spoke to Xiao Beixun, "Third Master, I need Miss Ji to give an explanation for this matter."

"Why did you do that?" Xiao Beixun's deep gaze swept over Ji Yishu.

Ji Yishu retorted, "Jiang Nan, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I was just trying to be helpful..."

"Besides, I've always liked you, how can you talk like that now? I just don't want things to go wrong between you and Ziqian."

"I really didn't expect that just drawing the curtains would elicit such a strong reaction from you."

Ji Yishu portrayed himself as someone who considered the big picture and was straightforward.

"Third Uncle, it really is just a misunderstanding."

Xiao Ziqian moved closer to Jiang Nan and gently coaxed, "Nan Nan, don't be angry. Yi Shu is a straightforward person. She really didn't mean it."

"I apologize to you on her behalf. It's getting late, and it will be too late if we don't go to the party soon."

Xiao Ziqian still maintained a gentle demeanor.

In the past, Jiang Nan did indeed like it.

I felt that he was not only gentle, but also emotionally stable.

But clearly, based on recent events, it was all just an act on his part.

She was too lazy to argue with Xiao Ziqian any further.

Saying too much might lead to suspicion and could even bring about your own demise.

"Alright, since you're going to apologize, then Miss Ji, please apologize," Jiang Nan said magnanimously.

He slightly raised his chin, his face full of arrogance.

Her long, swan-like neck, in particular, connects seamlessly with her smooth jawline, giving her an overall aloof and noble air.

It's absolutely true that it's a flower symbolizing wealth and prosperity in the world.

Ji Yishu frowned. "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize? Jiang Nan, you're being too serious."

If she really wants to take this seriously, she'll call the police.

Jiang Nan ignored her, her charming eyes fixed on Xiao Beixun. "Third Master heard that. I originally didn't want to pursue it further out of consideration for Third Master and the Xiao family, but some people don't want to admit their mistakes..."

Jiang Nan's pupils reflected Xiao Beixun's cold, hard, and angular face. She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Then I'll have to use my own methods."

"you……"

Ji Yishu bit her lip in anger. Xiao Beixun's deep voice rang out, "Miss Jiang's request is reasonable. Xiaoshu, apologize."

"Brother Bei Xun?" Ji Yishu looked at him in astonishment, her face full of disbelief.

He actually sided with Jiang Nan again.

"What's done is done. Is apologizing shameful?" Xiao Beixun's dark gaze fell on Ji Yishu.

An invisible sense of oppression descended.

Ji Yishu was so intimidated that he dared not act recklessly anymore.

Xiao Ziqian tugged at her sleeve and lowered his voice, "It's just an apology, don't make a big deal out of it."

"It's not worth making Uncle San angry."

Ji Yishu has been by Xiao Beixun's side all these years.

She was spoiled by Madam Xiao for those years and became very self-centered, but she was still afraid of Xiao Beixun.

She was especially aware of it.

Xiao Beixun dislikes spoiled, willful, and arrogant people.

Ji Yishu suppressed his displeasure and said sincerely to Jiang Nan, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. I was inconsiderate just now and offended you. I really didn't mean to..."

"I just thought this would make your relationship with Ziqian better. I'm sorry, I lost my temper and I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang Nan glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

Who apologizes while standing ramrod straight with a wronged expression?

"Is this how you apologize? Anyone who didn't know better would think I forced you."

Jiang Nan's tone was displeased, her cold and beautiful face tense, as if she didn't want to let it go so easily.

"Jiang Nan, don't go too far..." Ji Yishu gritted her teeth in hatred.

Xiao Ziqian tugged at her sleeve again, "Show some sincerity, your third uncle is watching."

Ji Yishu suppressed her anger and forced herself to endure it.

He then forced himself to bow ninety degrees to Jiang Nan, saying, "I'm sorry, Jiang Nan, please forgive me."

"Now that Miss Ji has returned to the country, she should learn some basic manners." Jiang Nan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

He left with a sarcastic remark and walked out.

Chen Lin stood outside watching the show, not daring to come in.

As soon as Jiang Nan came out, she immediately followed.

Ji Yishu was so angry that her face turned red, and she clenched her fists to suppress her anger.

"Nan Nan..."

Xiao Ziqian wanted to pursue Jiang Nan, but Xiao Beixun stopped him, saying, "I sent you to see President Hu. Did you take care of things?"

Xiao Ziqian was suddenly stunned.

He forgot about it!

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I'll go right now." Xiao Ziqian said, adopting a proper attitude.

Xiao Beixun stared at him coldly and said sternly, "Forgetting important things over trivial matters of the heart? With your qualifications, you think you can get into headquarters?"

"I don't think you're qualified even if you gain a few more years of experience at the branch office. Don't even think about getting the old lady to plead for you. I'm very disappointed in you."

Xiao Beixun's gaze swept over him, then he gave Ji Yishu a cold look.

He turned and left indifferently.

"Brother Bei Xun".

Ji Yishu called out weakly, not daring to follow.

Jiang Nan and Chen Lin were about to take a taxi to the party venue.

It's almost 8:30 now.

If there's no traffic, I should arrive by nine o'clock.

At that moment, a ride-hailing car arrived in front of them, and Chen Lin quickly got into the car.

Just as Jiang Nan was about to get into the car, a familiar, cold voice came from behind her, "Miss Jiang, please get in the car, let's talk."

Jiang Nan turned around and looked at Xiao Beixun behind him, slightly taken aback.

Why wasn't he with Ji Yishu?
