Chapter 34
"An Nuan, don't you dislike nightclubs?" Gu Yan Sheng asked.
An Nuan smiled, "I've just never been before, I want to experience it before getting married."
Gu Yan Sheng instantly had an indulgent look on his face, "Then I'll go with you."
Xia Qiqi thought it was nauseating.
She turned her head towards Ye Jinghuai and Qin Jiang, "Let's go to Wang Dynasty, your guys' turf, you wouldn't lose face right?"
"I don't care." Ye Jinghuai had an indifferent expression.
Xia Qiqi looked at Qin Jiang.
"I'll definitely go with Jinghuai."
"If you don't know them, you'd think they were a couple." Xia Qiqi said bluntly.
Qin Jiang was speechless, "I'm straight."
"So Ye Third Master is the bottom?" Xia Qiqi laughed exaggeratedly.
Ye Jinghuai glanced contemptuously at Xia Qiqi.
He seemed to not even bother arguing with this woman.
But it had to be said, wherever Xia Qiqi was, it was always lively.
"Then, An Zhao and An Xiao should come along too." Xia Qiqi called out casually.
An Nuan felt that for organizing a night of drinking, Xia Qiqi was the right person.
This woman might have other faults, but her organizational skills were definitely top-notch.
An Zhao and An Xiao looked at each other.
An Zhao said, "I have to ask my dad first, I have a strict curfew at home."
She was putting on the image of a good girl.
Xia Qiqi was extremely disdainful internally.
She knew perfectly well what kind of girl An Zhao was.
She wished all the men in the world would like her, even more disgusting than Gu Yanchen.
At least Gu Yanchen only liked Xiao Nanchen.
"I'll follow my sister, wherever she goes I go, if she doesn't go I won't go either." An Xiao expressed her stance.
In the eyes of outsiders, she deliberately made people feel like the two sisters had an extremely close relationship.
"Then go ask your parents. Remember to ask your brother An Hao if he wants to come too, I don't want him to say later I didn't invite him." Xia Qiqi reminded her.
"Okay."
An Zhao left with An Xiao.
Of course, there was no need to worry, An Zhao would definitely come.
But.
An Nuan looked around and saw Xiao Nanchen not far away.
"Nanchen." An Nuan called him.
Xiao Nanchen walked over holding a wine glass.
He seemed to have just noticed the group gathering.
"What's up?" Xiao Nanchen asked An Nuan.
An Nuan said, "Qiqi wants us all to go to a nightclub later, come with us okay?"
Xiao Nanchen seemed to glance at Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi was currently linking arms with Nie Ziming, pretending not to have seen anything.
"Everyone will be going together." An Nuan said, "You just got back to the country, you should get more familiar with the young social circle in Qingcheng."
"Okay." Xiao Nanchen agreed.
He was very easygoing.
Also, ever since childhood, Xiao Nanchen had been obedient to Xia Qiqi and even her, he generally wouldn't reject any of their requests.
After the harrowing previous life.
She finally truly understood what a good man Xiao Nanchen was!
How could Xia Qiqi have lost him.
"My sister and I can both go now. I just asked my dad for permission." At this time, An Zhao walked over and whispered, "My brother said he's busy tonight so he won't come play with us, told us to have fun on our own."
"Since that's the case, everyone can head over when ready." Xia Qiqi directly arranged, "Qin Jiang, have your side reserve us a luxury booth."
"Okay." Qin Jiang readily agreed.
Those who didn't know them would think they had a good relationship.
But in reality, they only knew of each other from being in the same social circle, and had never actually interacted.
Xia Qiqi just had a self-inviting personality.
Yet no one disliked her for it.
With the arrangements settled.
An Nuan also informed her parents. The large group of people headed to Wang Dynasty in threes and fives.
The environment inside still made An Nuan very uncomfortable.
She endured it, and walked into the luxury private room.
Xia Qiqi had arrived a little earlier, and was currently holding the mic belting out songs.
Her singing was decent.
At least she was very good at livening up the atmosphere.
As soon as everyone entered, they would be infected by Xia Qiqi's mood, and naturally, much of the awkwardness would disappear.
It had to be said, many people here didn't actually know each other that well.
Xia Qiqi finished singing a song.
Seeing everyone had arrived, she had everyone raise their glasses, "First, a cheers to our grand reunion. The theme is, youth is wonderful."
An Nuan couldn't help but smile.
It really was.
Youth is wonderful.
She had suddenly become ten years younger.
These ten years, she could do many things she didn't get to do in her last life.
"Cheers!" Xia Qiqi yelled loudly.
Everyone also raised their wine glasses and drank.
After drinking, Xia Qiqi went to pick songs.
Qin Jiang also picked a few.
The two seemed to be competing, "Qin Jiang, don't you get enough singing every day at the nightclubs?"
"You make it sound like you don't come here often." Qin Jiang retorted.
"Isn't this your family's place? Can't you let me have my turn?"
"You were the one who organized this gathering, I just provided the venue, you're the host."
"So you have no gentlemanly manners, is that it?"
"I do." Qin Jiang said, "My gentlemanly manners are reserved for my Jinghuai."
"Look look, I knew you two were a couple." Xia Qiqi had an I-knew-it expression.
Qin Jiang was too lazy to explain. He said, "Alright, big bro won't take advantage of you. Let's pick a song and sing a duet."
"That works too. What should we sing?" Xia Qiqi asked.
"Hiroshima Lover."
"Don't tell me you have a secret crush on me." Xia Qiqi said bluntly.
Qin Jiang rolled his eyes at Xia Qiqi, "Don't you know couples who sing this song are doomed to break up?"
"Really?" Xia Qiqi seemed unsure whether to believe it or not, "Either way, just don't secretly admire me, I'm a taken woman."
Qin Jiang seemed to laugh mockingly.
At that moment, he clearly glanced at Xiao Nanchen, who was very quiet off to the side.
Xiao Nanchen also noticed Qin Jiang's gaze and looked over.
Then he actually exchanged a look with Xia Qiqi.
Xia Qiqi directly shifted her eyes away.
Just then, the prelude to "Hiroshima Lover" started playing.
Only then did Xia Qiqi and Qin Jiang stop bickering.
The two passionately started singing.
In the private room, the others also began toasting each other.
No matter the relationship.
This was just a social drinking gathering.
Everyone had to pretend.
"Ye Third Master, we're fated too, Qingcheng's first time picking two Outstanding Youth Representatives in so many years, and it's us two. Let me toast you." Gu Yan Sheng took the initiative to toast.
In front of others, no matter who it was, he maintained the image of a humble gentleman.
Ye Jinghuai didn't decline either. He picked up his wine glass, and in that moment, suddenly glanced at An Nuan, "Aren't you toasting your fiancée too?"
Usually it was "Miss An", but now suddenly calling her "fiancée", Ye Jinghuai's tone clearly sounded unfriendly.
An Nuan instantly recalled the kiss she shared with Gu Yan Sheng in her backyard garden.
Why did she even feel guilty?
It was just a fake engagement to begin
