CHAPTER 1049: CHAPTER 9: MO YUYAN ARC 2

Jian Shiman held onto Lee Zhichun’s hand, her lips in a perpetual smile, her eyes alluring, as if she were seducing Lee Zhichun.

Lee Zhichun grasped Jian Shiman’s hand in return, and as Jian Shiman parted her lips slightly, as if wanting to say something, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She instinctively looked back towards the restaurant; everyone there was having their own meal, not noticing them at all. A group of tall individuals walked out from the restaurant, without any sign of anything unusual.

"What’s wrong?"

Lee Zhichun asked in confusion. Jian Shiman shook her head, about to turn back, but then she saw Mi Ai approaching, and quickly withdrew her hand.

Lee Zhichun also saw Mi Ai and withdrew his hand.

Mi Ai sat next to Lee Zhichun, sensing the atmosphere was a bit strange, "What’s going on? Why is no one speaking?"

"It’s nothing."

Jian Shiman held Mi Ai’s hand, "It’s still early, how about we go shopping later?"

"Sure."

Mi Ai nodded and smiled.

The three left the restaurant, and Lee Zhichun drove them towards the shopping center with Mi Ai and Jian Shiman.

At eight, Lee Zhichun first drove Jian Shiman home, then took Mi Ai to her rented place.

"Rest early."

Lee Zhichun escorted Mi Ai out of the car, holding her hand, and accompanied her downstairs to her building.

"Alright, you drive safely too, and return early."

Mi Ai said softly. Lee Zhichun hugged Mi Ai, slowly lowered his head, but Mi Ai stepped back, "I’m sorry, Zhichun."

She and Lee Zhichun were college classmates but only started dating about ten days ago. Doing something so intimate now felt a bit uncomfortable for her.

Lee Zhichun released Mi Ai, his expression a bit unpleasant, "It’s okay, you go up first, I’ll head back."

Mi Ai nodded and turned to head upstairs.

After reaching upstairs, she saw Lee Zhichun getting into his car; she knew he might be a bit upset, but she wanted to give herself more time.

Only after Lee Zhichun’s car left did Mi Ai go back to her room, freshen up, lay in bed, and used her phone to chat with her good friend Bai Juxia, who was in another province.

In the middle of the night, Mi Ai was awakened by her phone ringing continuously with several text messages coming in.

Mi Ai picked up her phone, saw the contents on the screen, and immediately threw her phone away, retching on the bed.

It was her first time seeing such a disgusting scene that nearly made her vomit. Who could have sent her such pictures, was it a mistake, or a malicious prank? Who was deliberately targeting her?

There was no caller ID on the phone, so it seemed the person intentionally hid their number, definitely someone targeting her.

Who on earth would send her such nauseating pictures?

Until the next day, Mi Ai felt groggy at work, almost making mistakes in her reports, but fortunately corrected them before submission.

After work, Mi Ai was about to go home when Jian Shiman invited her out. The two sat in a café.

"You don’t look well, what’s wrong?"

Jian Shiman picked up her coffee and asked Mi Ai.

Mi Ai had dark circles under her eyes. After receiving those pictures last night, she hadn’t slept at all, the scene replaying in her mind all night, making her vomit several times in the bathroom. She was in poor spirits the next day, so it was no surprise she didn’t look well.

"Nothing, I just didn’t sleep well last night."

"Why couldn’t you sleep?"

Jian Shiman held Mi Ai’s hand, her expression seemed genuinely worried if you ignored her slightly upturned lips.

"It’s nothing, just thinking about work."

As Mi Ai tried to pull her hand back, she noticed the diamond ring on Jian Shiman’s finger, the diamond shining brilliantly.

"Oh, Shiman, when did you get that ring? It’s beautiful, must have cost a lot. Where did you get the money?"

Both she and Jian Shiman were from the orphanage, having just recently graduated from college, where would she get so much money to buy a diamond ring? The ring must be worth at least tens of thousands, neither she nor Jian Shiman could afford it.

Jian Shiman slightly curved her lips, lightly touching her diamond ring with her hand, "It’s a gift from my boyfriend, is it nice?"

"You have a boyfriend? That’s great, when did it happen? When can I meet him?"

Mi Ai genuinely felt happy for Jian Shiman.

"We just recently got together, I’ll bring him to meet you when there’s a chance."

Jian Shiman chuckled, a cold gleam in her eyes. Sooner or later, Mi Ai would find out, Lee Zhichun belonged to her, to Jian Shiman. Why did Mi Ai have such good luck?

"Yes, I definitely want to see what kind of man is treating our Shiman so well."

Mi Ai temporarily forgot about last night’s events and chatted happily with Jian Shiman.

The two had coffee and dinner together, then Mi Ai returned home.
