Chapter 544

~4 min read 662 words

When Shu Xia heard that Huo Jingyan was cheating, her expression turned grave.

She gently urged: "Let's calm down first. I bought two cups of milk tea on the way, your favorite kind. Drink a few sips to calm down, and then tell me how you concluded that Huo Jingyan is cheating, okay?"

Under Shu Xia's gentle persuasion, Jiang Nannan gradually calmed down.

She closed the door.

The two of them came to the sofa and sat down.

Shu Xia waited patiently for Jiang Nannan.

At the same time, she recalled the coincidence of hearing those cries of "President Huo" earlier.

Could it really be the same person?

——

Meanwhile, Huo Jingyan had waited for over an hour and still hadn't seen Jiang Nannan return.

His heart felt inexplicably panicked.

He made several phone calls, but none were answered.

Finally, he found the number for Sheng An's manager and called to ask, only to be told that Jiang Nannan had left a long time ago.

The people over at Sheng An's side wouldn't lie to him about whether Jiang Nannan had left or not.

Then why hadn't Jiang Nannan returned yet?

Huo Jingyan's handsome face was deep and cold; he immediately made another call, "Go and find my wife."

He pulled out a cigarette, and amidst the swirling smoke, Huo Jingyan's brows were tightly locked.

He understood Jiang Nannan better than anyone; she would absolutely not leave him without a word and then vanish without a trace for no reason.

Even if she wanted to give him some kind of surprise, she would be impatient to rush back.

It had already been over two hours since their last call.

A wave of panic surged in his heart, and he dialed another number, "Check if there have been any sudden car accidents tonight."

He felt some regret; he should have gone to pick up Jiang Nannan himself, or sent a driver. The taxi drivers in Jing City drove too fast and would ignore traffic rules in places without surveillance, making car accidents very likely.

"Nannan, you absolutely cannot be hurt!"

——

While Huo Jingyan was using all his connections to look for Jiang Nannan, Shu Xia had already comforted her and seen the WeChat messages that had revealed the truth to Jiang Nannan.

The WeChat profile picture looked somewhat familiar.

The luxury brand accessories on the fingers and wrists were eye-catching.

However, Shu Xia was drawn to the chat history: the pregnancy check-up and the hospital where the check-up was done.

And the showing off between the lines.

Everything was a declaration of war against Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan had drunk nearly a whole cup of milk tea; perhaps the sweetness of the tea had soothed her, as her breathing was much smoother than before.

She didn't look as devastated as she had been.

"The time she got pregnant was indeed when Huo Jingyan was frequently on business trips, times when I wouldn't see him even once in a month or two. During that period, Huo Jingyan was very distant toward me, even going half a month without contacting me when he was busy. Shu Xia, I know what she said is true. Huo Jingyan, he really did cheat."

Shu Xia zoomed in on a pregnancy check-up image, saw the hospital on it, and said with a grave expression: "If Huo Jingyan really is cheating, then the person he is cheating with might be Ye Yaoguang."

"Ye Yaoguang?" Jiang Nannan was clearly taken aback.

That secretary of Huo Jingyan's with the explosive figure?

That secretary who she thought wasn't the type Huo Jingyan would like?

Jiang Nannan felt the blood in her body gradually freezing; the Ye Yaoguang who had appeared on the campus film set a few days ago—was she not there to visit a star, but actually there to find her?

"No wonder... no wonder when she saw me last time, the jealousy and comparison in her eyes were so uncomfortable."
