Chapter 187: Chapter 187: A Fortuitous Encounter

"How could this happen?"

Wen Nuan’s delicate brows furrowed as well.

With a survival instinct, Ji Wei shouldn’t have done this.

Was it to scare Tong Xi?

She suddenly recalled that when Tong Xi said she would give her artificial respiration, she woke up immediately. Her heart was filled with more and more doubts.

"Ji Wei was faking it?"

The voices of Wen Nuan and Tong Xi almost sounded simultaneously, full of astonishment.

According to this reasoning, Ji Wei needing artificial respiration was just a ruse. Her real purpose was...

To let Leng Yan give her artificial respiration.

Their lips met, not just once, but many times...

As soon as this thought came up, Wen Nuan was taken aback, filled with anger and disbelief. However, on second thought, it really suited Ji Wei’s character.

"Damn it, this wretched woman pretended she couldn’t swim, causing me to get scolded severely by Uncle Ji." Tong Xi was almost hopping mad, rolling up her sleeves. She squinted her eyes coldly at the nanny car in the distance and was about to settle the score with Ji Wei: "No wonder she woke up as soon as I started artificial respiration; she was just waiting for your Leng Yan to take action. Nuannuan, this shameless woman is trying to take advantage of Leng Yan."

Giving face but not taking it; this kind of hypocritical and pretentious woman made her want to skin her alive to get even.

"Don’t rush in recklessly, we have no evidence to prove she can swim." Wen Nuan held onto Tong Xi’s arm: "What if she stubbornly insists she can’t swim?"

"I saw her swimming with her assistant present." Tong Xi hesitated for a moment, thinking of a "witness": "Xiao Liu can prove whether I’m lying or not."

"But Xiao Liu is one of her people; she would definitely speak in her favor. How could she possibly come out to prove that Ji Wei was faking it?" Wen Nuan shook her head, this plan wouldn’t work: "She would never betray Ji Wei, and besides, she holds a lot of hostility toward us. Every time, she can’t help but mock us a little. All she’ll do is fuel the fire and say we’re wronging Ji Wei."

"You’re right, forget it, I’ll hold back for now. You should go back, don’t keep Leng Yan waiting too long." Tong Xi suppressed her urge, nodding. She got into the car, but suddenly opened the door again, giving Wen Nuan a sweet smile: "Nuannuan, my boyfriend is coming to N City in a few days; let’s get together... Oh, wait, that’s your birthday, you’ll definitely want to spend a sweet day with Leng Yan, you won’t want us high-wattage light bulbs around."

"Which boyfriend?" Wen Nuan pretended to frown, counting on her fingers: "John? William? Or..."

She rattled off several names in one go.

When it came to boyfriends, Tong Xi couldn’t even recall how many she’d had. The shortest lasted three days, and the longest didn’t exceed three months. She had even joked that Tong Xi’s boyfriends couldn’t last a hundred days.

"One I just met in N City, you haven’t met him yet. I’ll introduce you this time. He’s really handsome." Tong Xi didn’t mind her teasing at all.

"Another new one, huh." Wen Nuan, though used to it, widened her eyes deliberately, feigning surprise: "Oh my, Tongtong, you are really quite fickle."

"Am I fickle? I’m just romantic, okay?" Tong Xi laughed with her eyes curled: "I’m just testing men before marriage, to see which pair of shoes really fit me. Besides, my choices are always unmarried young men, unlike some people who are interested in others’ husbands."

The first part was teasing, but the latter was full of sarcasm, clearly alluding to something.

Wen Nuan was slightly startled, noticing the change in Tong Xi’s gaze. She glanced back, and Ji Wei’s assistant happened to pass by, but fortunately, she was well-behaving this time. Hearing Tong Xi’s words, she just frowned without causing a scene.

Back in the clothing store, Wen Nuan took out her wallet, smiling at the shop assistant: "Please bring the clothes I chose earlier."

Tan Qing emerged from the fitting room, and upon hearing her voice, he was slightly surprised, looking toward the counter: "Nuannuan?"

"Tan Qing?" Wen Nuan turned around, paused for a moment, and smiled to greet him: "Here to buy clothes?"

"Yeah." Tan Qing nodded, watching the staff hand over a whole set of men’s clothes to her, frowning slightly: "You’re also here to buy clothes?"

"Know each other?" Qu Min, who was helping him pick out suits, noticed Tan Qing talking to a pretty young girl and nudged him, sizing up Wen Nuan.
