After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 280

Ye Jinghuai and An Nuan stood together, dressed in their formal attire, in front of the grand floor-to-ceiling windows.

An Nuan wore a golden beaded sequin gown, with delicate spaghetti straps that revealed her perfect collarbone and a deep V neckline that hinted at her allure. The high side slit exposed her long legs, showcasing their graceful contours as she walked. The beautiful dress accentuated her enchanting figure...

Before the staff could even voice their admiration,

they heard an exaggerated female voice from behind, "Oh my god, do you have to be this beautiful? Do you really have to be this beautiful!"

An Nuan turned around.

And saw Xia Qiqi.

Behind Xia Qiqi, at a distance, was Xiao Nanchen, pushing his wheelchair by himself.

"Why don't you help Nanchen?" An Nuan frowned.

Xia Qiqi was displeased, "I didn't even want to come with him."

Let alone help him.

If her father hadn't forced her to bring Xiao Nanchen along to the banquet, she wouldn't have come at all.

Of course,

her father couldn't really force her.

It was just that her father, that cunning old man, used Nie Ziming to threaten her.

He said if she didn't attend the banquet with Xiao Nanchen today, he wouldn't allow Nie Ziming to attend.

You see, this kind of banquet was a resource for Nie Ziming.

Let's not talk about it before.

After all, if Nie Ziming married her, he would become a son-in-law of the Xia family, and the resources would naturally come to him.

But now that she was married, Nie Ziming had to rely on himself for his resources.

Just thinking about it made her angry.

But she still reluctantly agreed.

Besides,

she did want to see Nie Ziming a little.

It had been over a month since they got married.

Over a month without any contact, without seeing each other.

She didn't know...

how he was doing.

Thinking of this, her heart stirred a bit.

"Xia Qiqi." An Nuan's voice was noticeably loud.

Xia Qiqi snapped out of her thoughts, "What?"

"What were you thinking about?" An Nuan frowned.

Clearly, she felt that Xia Qiqi seemed a bit suspicious just now.

"Nothing." Xia Qiqi's gaze avoided hers, and she quickly changed the subject, "Why did you call me so loudly?"

"To talk to you, but you weren't listening. I asked why you suddenly came here?"

"To dress up and attend your family's anniversary celebration!"

"Did your father ask you to come?"

"Yeah."

"You're so obedient?" An Nuan found it hard to believe.

"I've got nothing better to do, can't I be bored?!" Xia Qiqi said irritably.

This actually fit Xia Qiqi's character.

But it was not surprising that Xia Qiqi attended the anniversary celebration.

An Nuan found it baffling that Xia Qiqi brought Xiao Nanchen along.

"I'm going to choose a dress." Xia Qiqi didn't give An Nuan any time to speculate, and walked towards the side.

An Nuan glanced at Xia Qiqi and got up to go to Xiao Nanchen.

Her arm was suddenly pulled into an embrace.

An Nuan frowned, "Ye Jinghuai, what are you doing?!"

She intended to go help Xiao Nanchen push his wheelchair.

"Change into a different dress." Ye Jinghuai spoke frankly.

An Nuan's expression changed immediately, "Is this one not good-looking?"

"It's too revealing." Ye Jinghuai stated.

"..."

"And change into another one." Ye Jinghuai repeated.

"I'm not wearing it for you to look at. Why do you care if it's revealing or not?!"

Besides, aren't all formal dresses like this?

It's not uncommon for there to be some revealing outfits, right?!

It's strange to be all covered up.

And this dress not only looks sexy but also very elegant.

It gives off a sense of being a wealthy young lady.

In a word, it looks really good.

When the design draft was presented, it caused a sensation in Serena's entire design department.

"We should change it then," Ye Jinghuai insisted.

An Nuan bit her lip tightly, feeling... annoyed.

Very annoyed.

But she couldn't argue with Ye Jinghuai in front of so many people.

The staff seemed to sense An Nuan's thoughts and hastily explained, "Mr. Ye, your bespoke suit matches our chief's gown. The golden hidden pattern on the collar of your suit is the same fabric as the lining of the chief's dress, and the button with the pearl on your suit is also the same as those on the chief's dress."

Ye Jinghuai paused noticeably for a few seconds.

An Nuan, on the other hand, blushed a little.

She admitted that she designed it based on Ye Jinghuai's measurements, but she never thought it would actually be worn. It was originally intended for display at an exhibition. If it weren't for the sudden invitation to the banquet, she wouldn't have impulsively brought it out.

There was a feeling, as if a secret had been discovered.

"Don't overthink it," An Nuan felt overwhelmed by Ye Jinghuai's gaze, "I just thought you looked decent, and since there are many people here for the anniversary celebration, I asked you to be Serena's free model for publicity."

Decent? Where did that come from?!

He's clearly handsome enough to dazzle the whole universe, okay?!

The on-site staff looked at them as they walked out, truly shocked speechless.

These two people could blind everyone's eyes.

"Just wear it for me to see," Ye Jinghuai made a decision after a long struggle.

"Who wants to wear it for you!" An Nuan was angry.

"Help me get a slightly more conservative outfit," Ye Jinghuai didn't waste time talking to An Nuan and spoke to the staff.

The staff looked at An Nuan with a dilemma.

An Nuan gritted her teeth, "Black, fully armed."

It would be best to wear something that made her look ugly.

"Get what she said," Ye Jinghuai affirmed.

It was deliberately not acknowledging her tantrum.

The staff quickly left.

After a while.

They found a relatively conservative black gown.

An Nuan huffed and went to the changing room.

Ye Jinghuai turned around and walked towards Xiao Nanchen.

Watching him push the wheelchair over.

"Are you feeling better?" Ye Jinghuai asked.

"The external injuries have healed. I have sensation in my left leg, but no strength, so I can't stand yet. As for my right leg, I still don't have any sensation for now."

Ye Jinghuai nodded slightly.

Xiao Nanchen didn't say much either.

"Help him find a suit," Ye Jinghuai said to the staff.

The staff quickly and respectfully selected a black bespoke suit for Xiao Nanchen.

She asked, "Sir, do you need my assistance?"

She knew it would be difficult for him to put it on by himself.

"Is there a male assistant available?"

"I'm sorry, sir, our only male staff member had something come up and took the day off. If you don't mind, I can help you..."

"No need," Xiao Nanchen refused outright.

He turned to look at Ye Jinghuai.

At that moment, Ye Jinghuai nodded slightly.

Xia Qiqi was seen wearing a black fringe asymmetrical skirt, with a strapless design on the top and a high side slit with fringes on the hem. It looked delicate and alluring, exuding a sense of sexiness.

Ye Jinghuai didn't even glance at Xia Qiqi.

He said, "Help him change into a suit."

"Why can't he do it himself?" Xia Qiqi objected.

"What do you think?" Ye Jinghuai asked.

He was not particularly friendly towards Xia Qiqi.

"There are so many staff members here," Xia Qiqi refused.

"So, is Xiao Nanchen just a stand-in for a dog guarding a precious jade?!"
