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

Chapter 5

In the lobby.

The warm phone rang.

An Nuan glanced at the incoming call, picked up, "Qi Qi."

"By the way, there is a charity gala tomorrow, are you going?" She had forgotten to ask her when they parted today, and now it seemed that she had just remembered. 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com

An Nuan paused for a moment, recalling the previous timeline.

Tonight there was an annual charity gala in Qingcheng, and most of the dignitaries in Qingcheng would attend, but she generally did not attend such banquets, so she basically refused. And Gu Yan Sheng was also very considerate, and never asked her to accompany him to socialize.

She used to really think that Gu Yan Sheng was good to her, but now she knew that he just kept her in a cage, not allowing her to socialize with anyone, so that when she had nothing left, she would have no power to turn over.

"I'm going." An Nuan answered.

"I didn't hear wrong, did I? I just asked casually." Xia Qi Qi really liked participating in all kinds of activities, she just hoped someone would accompany her. But she didn't have much hope.

"Let's go shopping for dresses tomorrow." An Nuan suggested.

"You're not kidding me, are you?" Xia Qi Qi still didn't quite believe it. No matter how she persuaded her in the past, she never went to such banquets.

"See you tomorrow." An Nuan didn't explain much, and hung up the phone.

Hearing his daughter's words, An Yan Yuan was also a little surprised. "Nuan Nuan, are you going to the charity gala tomorrow? Don't you dislike such socializing?"

An Nuan felt that she was really unfilial in her previous life.

She had put all her energy into one man, never contributed anything to her family, and eventually led to the ruin of her family.

She promised, "Dad, from now on, I will protect our An family, I will help Dad manage An Group together. I will make our An family as glorious as before, no one will be able to snatch it from my hands, including uncle's family!"

An Yan Yuan looked at his daughter with new eyes again.

In the past, Nuan Nuan didn't have such great ambitions.

He had also thought about letting her take on the family business, but never forced her, knowing that her heart was with Gu Yan Sheng, and was also thinking that by then the two families would be married, and An Group would be handed over to Gu Yan Sheng to manage.

Of course it was better if his own daughter took over with her own hands. An Yan Yuan was extremely delighted, "Good, Dad believes in you!"

An Nuan smiled at the corner of her mouth.

In this life, she must firmly grasp An Group in her own hands, and would never be so stupid as to hand it over to Gu Yan Sheng again!

...

The next day.

In the afternoon.

An Nuan and Xia Qi Qi went together to the luxury dress district to choose custom evening gowns.

They each chose dresses they liked and tried them on.

Then they sat in the makeup room and got dressed up.

"Have you returned to normal?" Xia Qi Qi asked An Nuan.

An Nuan was startled, "What?"

"Yesterday, with Ye Jinghuang..."

"Qi Qi." An Nuan's face changed slightly, and she stopped her.

Xia Qi Qi bit her lip, grumbling, "I don't even know what you saw in him?!"

Of course she was referring to Ye Jinghuang.

"I heard Xiao Nanchen is coming back." An Nuan changed the subject. She was really afraid that the outspoken Xia Qi Qi would just blurt it out.

This was a high-end dress district, interacting with the top echelon of high society. Who knows if there were ears on the walls, everything would be spread out, and all her plans would fall through.

"What's it to me that he's back?" Xia Qi Qi looked indifferent, "Speaking of which, how come I didn't hear that he was coming back? Isn't he doing well abroad? Why is he coming back?!"

Her tone was clearly not good.

"I thought he should come back after graduating from college." An Nuan rolled her eyes.

"I hope he doesn't come back." Xia Qi Qi's face was full of disgust.

Some words came to An Nuan's mouth, but she swallowed them back down.

The two chatted about some other trivial topics.

After spending an afternoon, they were finally dressed up.

An Nuan had just stood up from the makeup mirror when she heard Xia Qi Qi's sudden scream.

It almost deafened her ears!

"An Nuan Nuan!" Every time Xia Qi Qi was excited, she would add a reduplication to her name, "Can you not be so beautiful, are you trying to trample me into the ground?!"

An Nuan was speechless about Xia Qi Qi.

"Every time you look good exceeds my tolerance!" Xia Qi Qi complained.

"Let's go." An Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Xia Qi Qi was not ugly either. She was a girl with delicate features and a stylish appearance. It was just because she had been with An Nuan for so many years that she looked much more ordinary by comparison.

As for An Nuan.

She was really beautiful.

It was hard to describe her features in words. Each one was just so beautiful, and together they became perfection.

It was no rumor that all the men in Qingcheng wanted to marry An Nuan.

And the reason they wanted to marry her was not because she was so talented, it was because she was beautiful.

So beautiful that any man would be unable to refuse her.

All the way there Xia Qi Qi kept chattering on about "attacking" An Nuan's looks, and the two of them arrived at their destination together.

The attendant at the entrance respectfully opened the car door for them.

An Nuan took a deep breath.

It had been a long time since she attended this kind of event, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

She maintained her best state, and slowly extended her slender legs out of the car, lightly landing on the ground. At that moment, countless flashlights shone on her, and the reporters and media waiting outside were almost shocked.

The young miss of the An family, who never attended banquets, had now stepped out looking so beautiful she could overthrow cities and kingdoms, but she didn't give the media time for interviews either, they could only take pictures of her stunning beauty, and watch as she and Xia Qi Qi walked into the banquet hall.

In an instant, all eyes in the hall were on An Nuan.

She wore a silver long tight evening dress that clung to every curve of her delicate figure. At this moment under the lights, the dress sparkled with a stellar radiance, paired with her perfect face, fair and delicate skin, she was like an elf who had stumbled into the mortal world, beautiful to the point of being breathtaking!

"Nuan Nuan."

Gu Yan Sheng quickly walked up to her.

His face, though clearly somewhat angry, was also carefully concealed.

"Why did you come? Don't you dislike these kinds of social occasions?" Gu Yan Sheng asked her.

"I just suddenly felt that I couldn't keep being a caged canary forever." An Nuan answered lightly. At this moment, the scene of him stabbing her to death was still overlapping in her mind.

She tried her best to restrain herself.

Her eyes turned faintly at that moment, looking at Gu Yan Sheng's side, where his personal female companion Xu Zi Xi was holding Gu Yan Sheng's arm. She was one of Gu Yan Sheng's bedmates.

How could she have thought back then that they were just a simple superior-subordinate relationship?

"Miss An." Seeing An Nuan's gaze, Xu Zi Xi was respectful.

"I have heard that Assistant Xu is always capable and acts with good judgement. Yan Sheng often speaks highly of you in my ear, praising you profusely." An Nuan said with a smile.

"I am honored to have General Manager Gu's appreciation." Xu Zi Xi behaved gracefully and modestly in her words.

But she was full of contempt for An Nuan in her heart.

If she knew Gu Yan Sheng was praising her bed skills, would this woman be angered to death!

Outsiders all said An Nuan was virtuous, educated, and a model of high society ladies, but in her eyes she was just a silly woman. She never took An Nuan seriously, and was just being perfunctory at this moment.

"I'm just not sure, Miss Xu, whether it's a work necessity or something else for you to be clinging to my fiancé so inappropriately?" An Nuan's tone turned cold.

That instant made Xu Zi Xi instantly lose her composure.
