Chapter 198 A Dirty Man, I Don't Want Him

After a brief argument, the woman hung up the phone, followed by suppressed sobs.

Wen Yan followed the sound and saw a woman with a familiar back standing against the wall. She had short, soft hair and her forehead was pressed against the cold wall. It was almost as if she was relying on the friction of the wall to keep herself from sliding to the bottom.

"Senior?" Wen Yan asked uncertainly.

The woman trembled as if startled, taking several seconds to recover. Her shoulders heaved as she took a deep breath, and she quickly wiped away her tears before turning away.

Jiang Xing's eyes were still red, but she tried her best to calm down and forced a smile: "Yan Yan."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Wen Yan walked over and handed Jiang Xing a tissue.

Jiang Xing opened her mouth, but remembering Gu Yanci's words, she ultimately said nothing. Instead, she asked, "Are you here to see President Gu?"

Wen Yan immediately realized that Jiang Xing had probably seen Gu Yanci here.

“He’s in the private room up ahead.” Jiang Xing interrupted Wen Yan’s continued concern, his expression somewhat strange, and reminded her, “Yan Yan, I just saw a girl go into the private room, and her profile looks a bit like Nan Zhiyi.”

Nam Ji-yi's parents are both of mixed Asian descent, and she herself is of mixed heritage from multiple countries, with very distinctive physical features.

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow, her expression unreadable.

But anyone with eyes can see that this emotion is definitely not happiness.

Jiang Xing couldn't help but ask, "You and Nan Zhiyi..."

"Would you like to come inside with me, senior?" Wen Yan asked, pulling Jiang Xing's hand.

The fact that Jiang Xing was willing to tell her this information in advance shows that Jiang Xing's heart is completely with her. Wen Yan is also worried about Jiang Xing leaving on his own now—if she didn't mishear, Jiang Xing's father should have been kidnapped.

If it were just a matter of money, Wen Yan could handle it herself, but kidnapping involves human life, and one wrong move could result in the hostage being killed. Wen Yan felt that it would be better to ask Gu Yanci for help, as he had more experience in dealing with such situations. After all, decades ago, Gu Jingzhou had also been kidnapped.

Wen Yan's eyes were gentle yet resolute, making one want to lean on her. Jiang Xing, who was taut all over, nodded unconsciously.

If we go into the private room again, will we still have a chance to beg Gu Yanci?

It's just... it's just that we'll see Louqi again.

Thinking of this man, Jiang Xing couldn't help but frown.

Pushing open the door, one is greeted by a cacophony of howling and wailing.

"Wow!"

"Zhiyi, come play! Stop being so lovey-dovey with Ci-ge!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! They kissed! Did they really kiss?!"

……

Wen Yan keenly caught Nan Zhiyi's name amidst the clamor of voices, and the jeering made her scalp tingle.

For some reason, my gaze pierced through the dim light at that moment and accurately captured the figure on the sofa to the east.

Nan Zhiyi knelt on one knee on the sofa, with the other foot on the ground, leaning over the man on the sofa to say something, or... kiss him.

The man's face was obscured by the woman's figure, but Wen Yan was certain that the man was her husband, Gu Yanci!

"Yan Yan..." Jiang Xing said worriedly.

"Wen Yan!"

"Holy crap, Wen Yan is here!"

It's unclear who spotted Wen Yan first, but the exclamation sounded as if someone had been caught doing something wrong and had no time to cover it up.

Upon hearing the sound, Nan Zhiyi stood up straight and turned around, revealing Gu Yanci's figure behind her. One tall and one short, one standing and one sitting, they resembled a painting of a perfect couple.

Wen Yan and Nan Zhiyi locked eyes, then Wen Yan looked at the man behind Nan Zhiyi.

The entire audience fell silent, with only the background music breaking out, creating an eerie atmosphere.

The young men all thought Wen Yan would be angry and fly into a rage, after all, Nan Zhiyi and Gu Yanci were such... Unexpectedly, Wen Yan actually chuckled.

"Heh, why aren't you playing anymore? Did I disturb you?" she said, walking calmly into the private room, her composure sending chills down your spine.

Wen Yan stood in front of them expressionlessly, not even looking at Nan Zhiyi, but instead sizing up Gu Yanci with an arrogant and domineering gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Yanci asked.

"Check if anyone has messed with my things," Wen Yan said seriously. "I don't want dirty things, and neither do I want men."

Those around gasped.

Wen Yan's words are too arrogant. Isn't she afraid of angering Gu Yanci?

To everyone's surprise, Gu Yanci wasn't angry at all. Instead, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "It's not dirty."

He really liked the possessiveness that Wen Yan showed him.

Because possessiveness is predicated on caring.

Gu Yanci took Wen Yan's bag without hesitation, pulled her hand and drew her closer to him, making her sit almost next to him.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yanci affectionately touched Wen Yan's face.

He noticed Wen Yan the moment she opened the door, and as he walked over, he saw her gaze sweeping across the room like a ragdoll cat searching for its prey.

Wen Yan glanced at Nan Zhiyi, tilted her head, and said, "I came to see if you've been cheating."

Gu Yanci was used to her tendency to talk nonsense, so he smiled and then noticed that Jiang Xing was following behind Wen Yan and had come back again.

Jiang Xing looked away.

"Yan, don't misunderstand, Mr. Gu and I—"

"I didn't get it wrong."

Nan Zhiyi was about to explain something when Wen Yan interrupted her.

"If I had misunderstood, I should have turned around and left right at the door," Wen Yan said with a smile. "Nan Zhiyi, do you want me to misunderstand, or do you not want me to misunderstand?"

Nan Zhiyi was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Wen Yan to say that: "I..."

"Wen Yan, aren't you being a bit too aggressive!" someone couldn't help but mutter.

Wen Yan pretended not to hear and looked at Nan Zhiyi: "Miss Nan, what were you saying to my husband just now? I'm curious and would like to hear it too."

Nan Zhiyi was wearing lipstick, while Gu Yanci had no lipstick marks on his body, so at least they weren't kissing just now.

Nan Zhiyi glanced quickly at Gu Yanci, as if she was worried about something and didn't want Wen Yan to know the secret between her and Gu Yanci, and said, "It's nothing."

"Then what are you doing here?" This was the question Wen Yan really wanted to ask. "Who invited you? My husband? Or Young Master Lou?"

"They were people left behind by Young Master Zhou," Lou Qi said immediately, refusing to take the blame.
