His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1420: Chapter 400: What Do You Think of Me? Tell Me! (Part 4)

”Do you think you’re a deity or something? Even deities have things they can’t do!”

An Nan argued with him for a bit but didn’t say she didn’t want to get married or anything like that, so Jiang Zhiyuan pondered that maybe An Nan had come around. He thought about proposing again in a few days. He did announce the news too early, though, seeing his buddies disagreeing with him really hurt his little heart.

”That’s what they call harsh advice that sounds unpleasant. Haven’t you heard of it? Only people who don’t have a good relationship with you will nod in agreement with whatever you say. It’s only real brothers like us who will honestly give you a piece of advice.”

Qiao Yi hugged Jiang Zhiyuan’s shoulder to comfort him.

”But what did you really talk about that made you mistakenly think she agreed to marry you?”

Jiang Zhiyuan felt it necessary to tell the two of them, but who knew he almost got thrown out after saying it.

”In front of love, everyone is blindly the same. You both forget how you were back then. One pursued his wife for over twenty years, the other sparked romance after working together for seven long years and almost blew it. I think compared to you two, An Nan and I are doing really well!”

Jiang Zhiyuan thought about it and felt quite satisfied.

At least An Nan wasn’t willing to torment him, and the blissful nights felt like something he wanted to experience countless times.

When Xi Meng knocked and entered, she heard Jiang Zhiyuan complaining that Qiao Yi didn’t even dare to attend Jing Qing’s wedding. Just as Qiao Yi was about to accuse Jiang Zhiyuan of being blunt, the door opened.

”What’s up?”

Xi Meng carried the documents in tidily and curiously asked when she saw Qiao Yi kneeling on one leg on the couch, gazing at her dazedly.

Qiao Yi saw her demeanor and figured she hadn’t heard, and then chuckled: ”I’m just joking with Zhiyuan! Honey, you’ve worked hard. Want a cup of tea?”

”No need! It’s work hours, have you finished your tasks?”

After sending a document to Mu Yichen, Xi Meng asked Qiao Yi.

Mu Yichen focused on reviewing the materials Xi Meng had prepared the entire afternoon, ignoring the struggles of those beside him.

Qiao Yi awkwardly released the fabric of Jiang Zhiyuan’s shirt he had grasped and smiled: ”Seems like there’s one thing yet to be sorted, I’ll come up and get you later!”

Xi Meng said nothing more, just smiled while watching him leave as a secretary would.

While walking out, Qiao Yi didn’t forget to give Jiang Zhiyuan a look that hinted at not speaking recklessly. Jiang Zhiyuan raised his eyes to Xi Meng: ”Go home and give Ol’ Qin a good talking-to; this guy deserves it!”

”I feel the same way!”

Xi Meng whispered, careful not to disturb the boss reviewing materials.

”For tonight’s social gathering, why don’t you and Qiao Yi go in my stead!”

Mu Yichen signed his name below the materials and handed them back to Xi Meng while mentioning to her.

”But you agreed with Director Ge last week about tonight’s event!”

Xi Meng was a bit worried, concerned that people might be displeased to see them going as a couple.

”My sister and brother-in-law are visiting today, and they have to leave immediately, so I need to spend some time with them. Just explain the situation truthfully.”

Mu Yichen explained to her.

”Alright!”

After hearing him out, Xi Meng couldn’t say much else, so she nodded in agreement and left.

Jiang Zhiyuan leaned slightly closer to him: ”Mu Qingxin is back? The girl just returned and is leaving again?”

”Yeah! Jiang Yan is in a hurry to return for business, she wants to go with him!”

Mu Yichen explained steadily, but in truth, he hoped this family would leave quickly and stop hogging his wife.

”It’s been ages since I last saw Qingxin. How about we meet for drinks in the evening?”

”Aren’t you afraid An Nan will misunderstand? Forgot how the elders tried to match you with Qingxin back then?”

Mu Yichen raised his eyes, kindly reminding his buddy.

Jiang Zhiyuan immediately dismissed the thought of having drinks together: ”Then forget it, I’ve just managed to cheer her up, don’t want to make her upset again.”

”But maybe she really will agree to marry me?”

Thinking it over, Jiang Zhiyuan asked Mu Yichen with a hopeful gaze.

”Of course, she’ll agree to marry you, but just not in the next few days!”

Mu Yichen couldn’t help seeing his buddy’s silly expression.

The guy has been pitiful ever since he fell in love, like being in a state of inferiority, or perhaps it’s more accurate to say he’s beneath An Nan, but actually, he’s much taller than An Nan.

”Tonight I’ll try again. I could say you and Qiao Yi bet I can’t marry her within a year, and if we do get married, you give me the independent villa by the sea? Should I tell An Nan this?”

Jiang Zhiyuan looked eagerly at Mu Yichen, very earnest.

”Zhiyuan! How about you have her agree first before talking about the villa gift?”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes looked at him, utterly helpless.
