Chapter 18 - Chapter 18. Not a Thing

By the time she returned to the Jin Bai residence with her laptop, Ji Ningyan had already composed herself. She had initially planned to cook, but then she remembered that no more food was in the fridge.

“Qin Nanyu, what do you want for lunch?” She found Qin Nanyu in the room. He was wearing home clothes and working in front of the computer. He looked casual but very charming.

Qin Nanyu had just opened the investigation report sent by Gu Zheng.

During his investigation, he was surprised that Ji Ningyan and Qin Nanyu had registered their marriage. He had almost peed in his pants in shock.

He didn’t dare to be careless. Not only did he do a thorough background check on Ji Ningyan, but he also sent Wang Guohua’s blind date information to Qin Nanyu.

Looking at Wang Guohua’s old face, a dangerous coldness flashed in Qin Nanyu’s eyes.

On the phone, Gu Zheng was still talking non-stop. “Boss, Madam’s parents are evil people. You wouldn’t have thought that her stepmother would drug her juice and try to knock her out before sending her to Wang Guohua’s bed.”

It was not in this information. Gu Zheng had heard about it from Wang Guohua’s godson. Very few people knew about it.

‘If she hadn’t married Boss, Ji Ningyan would probably have become that perverted President Wang’s plaything,’ Gu Zheng added in his heart.

Qin Nanyu saw that Ji Ningyan had returned and hung up on Gu Zheng. “You’re back earlier than I expected. Did you get the thing?”

This was the first time he had indeed looked Ji Ningyan in the eye, and only now did he realize that she was quite beautiful.

She had a small and delicate oval face, snow-white skin, and big and bright eyes, like the stars in the night sky.

No matter what, she had nothing in common with Qin Min.

Why?

This was because Ji Ningyan wasn’t Qin min’s daughter at all!

Ningyan felt that the look in his eyes was extraordinary. There was a profound look in his eyes that she couldn’t understand. She nodded. “I’ve got it. You still haven’t answered my question. What do you want to eat for lunch?”

“You’re going to cook?” Qin Nanyu closed his computer before she came over.

Ji Ningyan didn’t pay any attention to his actions.

She thought that because of her, Qin Nanyu was forced to move from the study to the master bedroom. She felt bad. “I was going to cook, but there’s no food in the refrigerator. Let me treat you to a meal outside.”

“Alright,” he said. Qin Nanyu’s thin lips moved slightly, and he accepted her invitation.

For this meal to not appear too shabby, the miserly Ji Ningyan had pulled out a few feathers and chosen a high-class seafood restaurant.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated, with crystal lamps all around. The atmosphere was perfect, and someone was even playing the piano.

Not even Ji Ningyan had dared to set foot in a place like this in the past.

Now that she was here, she was also tense.

Although she had mentally prepared herself for this, when she saw the prices on the menu, she still felt a sudden, explosive shock.

Out of sight, out of mind. She passed the menu to Qin Nanyu. “You order. I don’t know what you like to eat.”

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach. Ji Ningyan suddenly remembered that her period was about to arrive. She hurriedly pulled out a piece of sanitary pad from her bag, then said, “I’m going to the washroom.”

“Stop!” Halfway there, Ji Ningyan was suddenly blocked by an aggressive figure. “Ji Ningyan, stop right there!”

It was Ji Yunzi, her older sister.

Ji Yunzi was currently wearing the latest dress from Chanelle’s family. She had just finished styling, curling her hair into a beautiful arc. With her exquisite makeup, she looked radiant.

Wasn’t it too much of a coincidence to run into an acquaintance on her first visit to a high-end restaurant?

Ji Ningyan slowed down, then calmly asked, “Sister, you’re eating here too? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Eat? Can you afford such a high-end restaurant?” Ji Yunzi’s face was cold, and her tone was filled with malice.
