An Xiaonuan took out her phone from her pocket. Seeing the name on the screen, a happy smile spread across her face.

"Hey, Qingwei, why did you suddenly call me?" An Xiaonuan said casually.

Up to this point, she hadn't told her friends about what happened here because she knew that even if she did, it would only worry them.

This matter even the old man couldn't handle, let alone Qing Wei and the others.

"Nuan Nuan, are we still friends?" Ruan Qingwei accused over the phone.

"Of course, you're my best friend. Why would you suddenly ask this?" An Xiaonuan had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.

As expected, Ruan Qingwei's question came right away.

"You kept our friendship a secret for so long? Do you know how worried I was about you? Do you think I'm not good enough? Or do you think I wouldn't care anyway?" Ruan Qingwei was about to explode on the other end of the phone!

If it weren't for her brother suddenly sending her a picture of ten fingers clasped together, she wouldn't have known that An Xiaonuan was currently looking for someone in Italy! And before that, Nuannuan had even fallen into the sea!

Not only did Nuannuan not say anything, but she also lied to her, saying she was on a trip?

An Xiaonuan was also helpless against her best friend's accusation.

I really want to explain, but I did deceive her. And based on Qingwei's temperament, I estimate she's probably already bought tickets and is on her way to Italy.

"Wait for me, I've already bought tickets to Italy. Send me your location, and I'll find you." Ruan Qingwei said.

An Xiaonuan silently said, "As expected," then obediently sent her location. After chatting for a few more minutes, she ended the long-distance call.

After hanging up the phone, she whispered to Ye Mingjue beside her: "Qing Wei is worried about me and will come over tomorrow afternoon."

Ye Mingjue simply nodded without denying it and said, “Then just stay at home tomorrow.”

Tomorrow they will have an operation, and they are thinking of how to keep Nuan Nuan at home. This Ruan Qingwei came just in time.

An Xiaonuan obviously thought of this too, and said with some distress: "Otherwise, I'll have her come over herself. Anyway, there's a nanny at home to receive her. I'll stay with you, and I'll feel more at ease."

Since the last accident, An Xiaonuan has become exceptionally clingy.

Ke Ye Ming Jue, however, didn't feel any annoyance. He only looked at his wife with doting eyes and said, "It's okay, I will come back safely. Just wait for my good news at home."

Seeing that Nuannuan still had something to say, Ye Mingjue said, "Believe me."

An Xiaonuan looked at the man's tightly pursed lips and serious expression. Looking into his eyes, she saw unwavering confidence. She nodded and instructed, "You have to promise me that you must be careful."

Night Mingjue naturally agreed to everything An Xiaonuan asked for, and finally coaxed his uneasy wife into peace of mind.

The next day was a bright, clear day.

The warm wind brought a touch of warmth to An Xiaonuan's heart. She held onto Ye Mingjue's hand and went over what she had discussed last night, until time ran out and they had to leave. Only then did she let go, allowing the man to follow the team away.

Before leaving, Ye Mingjue dragged An Xiaonuan to a corner and bullied her severely. When An Xiaonuan was leaning on him unable to walk, he said in a hoarse voice, "I will definitely bring them back."

An Xiaonuan nodded, then watched as the man disappeared from her sight.

Ye Mingjue sat in the car, looking at the still figure standing in the rearview mirror, his heart softened.

But then, he saw Ruan Qingchen and Liu Jing walking to Nuan Nuan's side.

Although she knows that Ruan Qingchen has now given up on Nuan Nuan, looking at them standing together, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of ferocity.

Make sure to come back and accompany Nuan Nuan as soon as you finish things over there.

An Xiaonuan also noticed that Ruan Qingchen had walked to her side. She originally wanted to say hello, then she saw Liu Jing standing behind Ruan Qingchen.

Her eyes immediately turned cold.

She has to stay in the villa and keep an eye on Liu Jing, making sure Liu Jing doesn't harm Ziyu and Ziru.

Liu Jing looked at An Xiaonuan's icy eyes, and her heart ached.

She knew that there was no point in saying anything now, and nothing she could do to make amends. The best thing was to just leave.

But...

She glanced at the man beside her, his hand tightly clasped in hers, a spark of determination in her eyes.

No, for this man, she was going to stay here!

Caught between two women, Ruan Qingchen watched the invisible battle in their eyes and felt a wave of helplessness.

Recalling Ye Mingjue's words before he left, "Since it's useless, let her be useless anywhere," and his next sentence, "Take good care of Nuannuan, but stay away from her," I was completely baffled.

He thought it was beyond his capabilities to simultaneously care for two women, especially when they were secretly vying for his attention.

But there was no other way, one was his own girlfriend and the other his own friend, he could only grit his teeth and accept this task.

That night, when Mingjue arrived at the location shown on the map, it was high noon.

Qi Angxiong's hiding place was a location very close to the city center.

No one could have imagined that he would have the audacity to build his headquarters in the heart of this bustling city, and even more unbelievably, he'd fortified it like an impenetrable ironclad fortress.

What appears to be an ordinary commercial building on the outside is actually a luxurious haven created by Qiang Xiong, and his activities are confined to the top floor. To get there, one must go through several layers of security checks.

That night, Mingjue arrived at the rooftop with his men. Everyone was drenched in sweat, their dark clothes stained with a mixture of perspiration and blood that reeked of iron.

Even before Ye Mingjue stormed onto the second floor, Qi'anxiong already knew of his arrival.

I thought Ye Mingjue wouldn't last long and would become his defeated general. Who knew, this person actually charged up!

When he designed this building, he went through all the security systems and made sure they were perfect. All the protective systems are top-notch, but there's no emergency escape route here!

"Let's escape through the emergency exit," the woman sitting on Qiangxiong said.

Qi Ang frowned, unwilling to do such a demeaning thing. But as the alarm grew louder and louder, he had no choice but to lead the woman towards the safety exit.

However, after just running one floor, he was already surrounded by a dozen or so people.

Ye Mingjue walked out from the crowd, looking at Qi Angxiong coldly and said: "What? Does Qi always want to go somewhere? Is Night so unwelcome?"
