Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Ugly people talk about connotation (1)_1

Gao Lin was livid, "You’re truly shameless, I’ve seen shameless people before, but not as shameless as you are. You think you can hold a man down by just relying on your face? I’ll tell you, the true way to a man’s heart is through inner beauty!"

"Usually, only ugly people talk about inner beauty. For beautiful people like me, looks are enough!"

After throwing those words, Xia Wan’an didn’t wait for Gao Lin, who was almost stamping her foot in the middle of the street, to retaliate. She simply left a message, "Miss Gao, anger accelerates skin aging. Instead of wasting this time, go home and sleep more for beauty’s sake," and walked away gracefully.

...

Upon entering the office building of Han Family Corporation, in the lobby, Xia Wan’an encountered Ai Jiang, who was leaving work.

The two had not broken ties yet, so naturally, they put on the façade of a deeply bonded sisterhood for each other’s benefit.

As they were parting ways, Xia Wan’an inadvertently noticed a watch on Ai Jiang’s wrist while crossing paths.

She instinctively paused, twisted her neck to focus on Ai Jiang, and then her gaze landed accurately on Ai Jiang’s wrist.

Only after Ai Jiang had left the Han Family Corporation building and disappeared completely from Xia Wan’an’s view did she regain sense, entering the elevator with an introspective gaze.

The watch was a global limited edition, with only a few pieces... How did Ai Jiang get one?

Back in the office, Xia Wan’an lost her appetite for overtime. She opened a webpage, searched for the image of the watch, copied it, and then switched to WeChat.

She found a friend named "Allure Love", and sent the image over: "Did this watch come from you?"

The recipient might be busy, as they didn’t reply.

After waiting for a while, Xia Wan’an lost her patience, turned off the computer, hailed a car, and went home.

After reaching home, she changed into her home clothes, put on an apron, and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

An hour and a half later, a pot of pork rib and corn soup, stir-fried shredded pork in garlic sauce, shrimp and Chinese cabbage, a plate of small rapeseed leaf, and a pot of rice were laid out on the dining table.

Xia Wan’an glanced at the clock. It was already eight o’clock in the evening and Han Jingnian had still not returned home.

Perhaps because she had company for dinner the previous two days, she felt an indescribable emptiness as she ate alone that evening.

He said last night that he would come home for dinner tonight, so unlike previous times, Xia Wan’an didn’t throw the leftovers in the trash, but put them in the food warmer.

Women usually get tired during their periods and she had seen several people that day. After taking a shower, she went to bed early.

Before falling asleep, Xia Wan’an realized she had forgotten to leave Han Jingnian a note that dinner was in the food warmer, but she was too lazy to get out of bed. So, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhang Te, "Assistant Zhang Te, tell Han Jingnian that I’ve left dinner in the food warmer. He can eat when he gets back."

...

In the top-floor conference room of Han Family Corporation, Han Jingnian who was mid-meeting, felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

He pulled it out to see that it was a message from Xia Wan’an to Zhang Te.

After reading the content, he realized, inadvertently, that it was already nine o’clock.

Han Jingnian didn’t reply. Instead, he looked up at everyone in the room and announced, "Meeting’s over."

Over? The meeting was suddenly called just before the end of the workday, and now it’s suddenly over?

Facing the baffled stares of everyone in the room, Han Jingnian simply gathered his things and left.

Back in his office, he dumped his things on the desk, picked up his suit jacket and car keys, and headed out.

Zhang Te who followed him saw this and instinctively asked, "Mr. Han, what happened?"

Without even looking at Zhang Te, Han Jingnian replied while heading towards his private elevator, "Going home to eat."
