Qiao Nuo held her diamond-encrusted phone, feeling an inexplicable heat radiating from it.
Yan Beiting, seemingly without a second thought, snatched the phone from Qiao Nuo's hand and pressed the hang-up button!
"What are you doing?!" Qiao Nuo exclaimed, staring at her phone that Yan Beiting had just turned off. She wondered if this man was being overly controlling.
"Get in the car."
"I'm not getting in. Why should I listen to you? Give me back my phone!"
"I'll return your phone if you get in the car with me." Yan Beiting raised the phone high.
"Stop messing around! We’re not close, and I have urgent matters to attend to."
"Is it about framing Ruan Shengyu? It’s not exactly a big deal that requires any explanation," Yan Beiting said casually.
"Huh? You know?" Qiao Nuo looked at Yan Beiting in confusion.
It made sense; given the relationship between Yan Beiting and Jin Chengyan, it wasn't surprising that he knew Ruan Shengyu was Jin Chengyan's girlfriend.
"Unless I choose not to know." With that, Yan Beiting had already shoved Qiao Nuo into the car.
At this point, Qiao Nuo felt lost regarding the situation. Now that Yan Beiting revealed he knew more, she naturally had no intention of leaving.
Yan Beiting circled around to the front of the car and quickly drove off in his sleek black sports car.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with A Yan?" Yan Beiting seemed particularly interested in her connection with Jin Chengyan. "His girlfriend?"
“Not really…” Qiao Nuo felt she might have trusted the wrong person.
“Is he pursuing you?”
“How could that be possible!” Qiao Nuo laughed lightly.
“True, he probably doesn’t like your type.”
“Hey, don’t make personal attacks!” Qiao Nuo shot a glare at Jin Chengyan.
“I’m just speaking the truth. He likes someone who is… well, gentle and gracious, smart and agile, someone who knows how to handle situations.”
“Oh.” Qiao Nuo nodded. She wasn’t really interested in what Jin Chengyan liked in women. “Hey, are you implying that I’m not gentle and gracious, not smart and agile, and that I don’t know how to handle situations? Yan Beiting, you’re not just hypocritical; you’re also quite sharp-tongued. Is this how you talk about a girl?”
Only after understanding Yan Beiting’s words did Qiao Nuo feel a pang in her heart.
“No, what I meant to say is that someone like Ruan Shengyu is his type.” Yan Beiting suppressed a laugh.
Qiao Nuo was really… quite an adorable girl.
“Maybe he cares too much about Ruan Shengyu, which inevitably hurts you. You have to understand, it’s a common mistake for a man in love.”
“Pfft…” Qiao Nuo burst into laughter.
Jin Chengyan was indeed the typical image of a man in love; when the woman he liked was wronged, he couldn’t help but want to defend her.
“You know Ruan Shengyu too?” Hearing Yan Beiting refer to Ruan Shengyu in such a familiar way made Qiao Nuo suspect they knew each other as well.
"Is your home around here?" Yan Beiting did not answer Qiao Nuo's question and parked the car outside an old residential area.
"Yes, how did you know?" Qiao Nuo unbuckled her seatbelt, surprised.
"I'll give you a more tactful suggestion. As for A Yan, if you like him, don't get too emotionally invested. In the end, it's yourself who gets hurt when you like someone who doesn't like you back."
"Eh?" Qiao Nuo looked at Yan Beiting in astonishment. How did he see that she liked Jin Chengyan?
"Don't look at me with those eyes; I might think you like me!" Yan Beiting laughed, leaning closer to Qiao Nuo. "Of course, I wouldn't reject your affection. I'm single, and after meeting you, I might consider dating—who knows, maybe even marriage."
Qiao Nuo was taken aback for a moment. "That's so random."
Then she got out of the car. After walking a few steps, she turned back, her ponytail swaying as she looked youthful and vibrant.
Suddenly, Yan Beiting's mind exploded with realization—Qiao Nuo... it was Qiao Nuo!
