"He won't be coming back." Chi Jun'an said indifferently.
"How do you know?" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him in surprise.
Of course he knew.
An Ziyu's "fiancée" was the one he called with a text message when he entered the restaurant.
Moreover, he specifically instructed her not to hurt Ji Xiaonuan, but instead to let Ji Xiaonuan see through An Ziyu's "true colors".
"Didn't they say they were going to have an abortion?" The corners of Chi Jun'an's lips curled slightly.
Ji Xiaonuan let out an "oh" sound, and the wary look on her face didn't fade at all.
The waiter knocked on the door and then filed in, bringing in the wine and dishes that An Ziyu had ordered.
Looking at the bottles of wine on the table, Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Did you order these?" He looked at Ji Xiaonuan.
"No, it wasn't me." Ji Xiaonuan quickly shook her head. "Mr. An ordered them. You can return them."
Chi Jun'an frowned slightly. Would An Ziyu order so much wine for no reason? It seemed that something had happened, but Ji Xiaonuan didn't want to tell him.
"No need." Chi Jun'an said to the waiter, "Charge these wines to An Ziyu's account." Both he and An Ziyu were regular customers here, and the waiters knew them, so they immediately agreed.
"Pfft~" Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help laughing.
With her laugh, the tense atmosphere in the private room suddenly eased a lot.
Chi Jun'an's expression relaxed, and he looked at her in surprise. "Is it that funny?"
Ji Xiaonuan nodded. "You and that An, An..."
"An Ziyu."
"Right, you should be friends, right?" Ji Xiaonuan said with a bit of amusement. "But you're actually scheming against each other?"
"Who doesn't have a few bad friends?" Chi Jun'an felt somewhat helpless.
"That's true." Ji Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. She said pitifully, "My bad friends also bully me all the time..."
"They bully you?" Chi Jun'an's eyes flashed slightly.
"Well, it's not really bullying." Ji Xiaonuan quickly explained. "They just have sharp tongues, but they're actually nice people."
Chi Jun'an let out an "en" sound. He looked at Ji Xiaonuan gently. "Aren't you afraid of me anymore?"
Ji Xiaonuan was immediately stunned.
She was a bit afraid of Chi Jun'an before. After all, this person was like her nemesis. No matter what she did, she couldn't do anything to him. But just now... seeing Chi Jun'an play a trick on An Ziyu, she suddenly felt that although Chi Jun'an was rather scheming, at least he seemed like a normal person and wasn't that scary anymore.
But she didn't want to improve her relationship with Chi Jun'an at all!
Ji Xiaonuan clenched the chopsticks in her hand angrily. She snorted in annoyance and buried her head in eating.
Chi Jun'an felt somewhat helpless. Ji Xiaonuan's resistance to him was even stronger than he had imagined.
But it didn't matter. He could take his time.
After the meal, Ji Xiaonuan got into Chi Jun'an's car reluctantly.
"If you don't want to go, I can send you back to school first, and we can go see him another day?" Chi Jun'an suggested.
He thought this was a good suggestion. In this way, he would have another reason to ask Ji Xiaonuan out again.
"No need..." Ji Xiaonuan bit her lip in hesitation and said with a look of determination, as if she were going to sacrifice herself. "I did something wrong, and I have to face it sooner or later. Let's go today!"
The two of them went to the hospital. Ji Xiaonuan picked out some fruits in a nearby fruit store.
When they arrived at the hospital ward, Ji Xiaonuan put the fruits on the table and apologized nervously. "Mr. Han, I'm really sorry about that day..."
Han Siyuan was very surprised. His injuries were just minor ones, but Chi Jun'an insisted on arranging for him to be hospitalized. He couldn't figure it out before, but now he realized that Chi Jun'an had done it to bring the person who hit him here to apologize?
The CEO was so kind to them employees. Han Siyuan was deeply touched.
He hadn't forgotten that this woman originally wanted to hit their CEO. He must avenge the CEO!
"I remember it wasn't you who hit me." Han Siyuan said with a cold face. "Why are you here to apologize?"
"Mr. Han, I was also involved in hitting you, and I was the mastermind." Ji Xiaonuan said with a bit of shame. "Actually, my target wasn't you that day. It was all a misunderstanding..."
"A misunderstanding?" Han Siyuan still had a stern expression. "If it wasn't a misunderstanding, would it be right for you to hit someone? You're so young, why do you always want to solve problems with your fists? Such an insincere apology, I don't..."
"Ahem." Chi Jun'an coughed lightly and looked at Han Siyuan with a bit more sternness.
Han Siyuan was a bit confused. He was scolding Ji Xiaonuan for Chi Jun'an, but why did Chi Jun'an seem unhappy instead?
"I don't, don't..." Han Siyuan stammered for a while and finally said tentatively, "I don't mind?"
Chi Jun'an's expression softened a bit. He nodded at Han Siyuan. "Xiaonuan, Siyuan isn't that petty. Look, you've apologized, and he's accepted it, right, Siyuan?" "Right, right, right!" Han Siyuan said quickly.
Ji Xiaonuan still felt a bit guilty. She continued, "Mr. Han, I can understand that you're still angry. After all, you got beaten up for no reason. How about I come to see you again tomorrow and keep coming until you recover?"
Han Siyuan was shocked. He had already felt Chi Jun'an's gaze on him, which was so cold that it seemed to freeze him! How dare he let Ji Xiaonuan come to see him every day? That would be asking for death!
"No, no need." He said quickly. "These are just minor injuries. I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Please don't come!"
Ji Xiaonuan was stunned. "Mr. Han, are you still angry..."
"He's not angry." Chi Jun'an said. "He just needs to rest. Xiaonuan, you wait outside for me first. I have some work matters to discuss with him. I'll send you back later."
"Right, right, I'm not angry anymore, really!" Han Siyuan echoed.
Ji Xiaonuan nodded. "Then I'll leave now."
Ji Xiaonuan walked out of the ward. Han Siyuan asked curiously, "CEO, who is this..."
"The future CEO's wife." Chi Jun'an said indifferently.
Han Siyuan was so shocked that he coughed violently.
My goodness, didn't he hear wrong?
The person who just apologized to him was actually the future CEO's wife?
Fortunately, he didn't insist on her apology, or he would really be courting death.
But... how did Chi Jun'an suddenly come to his senses? He never joked. Since he said that was the future CEO's wife, it must be true.
Wait a minute, Xiaonuan... could it be Ji Xiaonuan that Chi Jun'an had asked him to investigate before?
Han Siyuan suddenly understood. It seemed that Chi Jun'an was really in love this time.
"By the way, don't eat the fruits." Chi Jun'an said. "I'll have someone come to take them away later."
"..." Han Siyuan wanted to cry. Only then did he realize that he had been being sentimental.
He had thought that Chi Jun'an insisted on having him hospitalized because he cared about him. Who knew that Chi Jun'an was just trying to chase the future CEO's wife, and what's more, his possessiveness was so strong that he wouldn't even let him keep the fruits!
Ji Xiaonuan walked out of the hospital and hailed a passing taxi.
