Chapter 426

"Xia Xia?"

Jiang Nannan saw Shu Xia suddenly stop.

She looked over in the direction of Shu Xia's gaze.

When she saw Huo Jingyan, her expression changed, caught somewhat off guard.

It wasn't that he didn't have time...

It was just that he gave all his time to someone else.

When Huo Jingyan saw Jiang Nannan and Shu Xia, his expression also startled for a brief moment.

"Nannan..."

Hearing this "Nannan," Jiang Nannan felt her heart ache.

This one "Nannan" seemed to smooth over the arduous emotional journey she had been through during this period.

Qiao Muting looked at Shu Xia, and Shu Xia was also looking at Qiao Muting.

Shu Xia knew that Huo Jingyan and Qiao Muting were friends, but she hadn't expected such a coincidence, meeting them at the same restaurant.

And it just so happened that Gu Jianzhang saw her.

"We won't disturb you and your friend; we happen to have other things to do." Jiang Nannan didn't know what to say to Huo Jingyan.

Before she saw him, it seemed like she had many things to ask, but now that she saw him, she didn't know what to ask.

What is this situation?

Gu Jianzhang was stunned.

Qiao Muting was evidently also somewhat surprised that Shu Xia and Jiang Nannan knew each other.

Shu Xia nodded toward Qiao Muting, and then she was grabbed by the hand by Jiang Nannan and led away.

After the two of them left, Gu Jianzhang asked his question in confusion: "Huo Jingyan, your wife and Qiao Muting's wife are friends?"

"Your wife is Shu Xia?" Gu Jianzhang asked Qiao Muting in astonishment.

Qiao Muting gave a hum, his fingers tapping on the table a few times, clearly distracted and thinking about something.

Huo Jingyan hadn't expected that while the world is big, the circle is small, and it was an extreme coincidence that Shu Xia was actually Qiao Muting's newlywed wife.

"The way your wife looked when she saw you just now, it felt like she was angry with you and avoiding you. Did she notice something? Don't underestimate a woman's intuition." Gu Jianzhang reminded Huo Jingyan.

Huo Jingyan frowned, "She isn't that sensitive."

"This has nothing to do with being sensitive," Gu Jianzhang said bluntly.

Qiao Muting suddenly spoke up: "A while ago at the Hot Spring Villa, Shu Xia and I heard you and Ye Yaoguang in the woods."

Huo Jingyan's expression changed completely.

"We didn't approach; we only heard the voices." Qiao Muting's eyes were deep.

"Shu Xia and Nannan are very good friends; she wouldn't say anything uncertain in front of Nannan to cause suspicion between Nannan and me. My business with Ye Yaoguang ends here today." Huo Jingyan understood that today's coincidence was like a basin of cold water poured over him.

He couldn't bear to think of the consequences if Jiang Nannan found out.

Just now...

Huo Jingyan pressed his lips together tightly.

Gu Jianzhang touched his nose.

Having met that Ye Yaoguang once, he knew she wasn't a good person.

He felt that this matter wouldn't be so easy to resolve.

He gave Qiao Muting a look.

But Qiao Muting didn't respond, appearing to be thinking about something.

This meal—everyone except him was heavy-hearted...

——

All the way from the western restaurant to getting into the car.

Jiang Nannan felt her mind go blank.

She didn't know why, but when she saw Huo Jingyan just now, for a split second, she felt that the man she was so familiar with had become so like a stranger.
