Chapter 611 - 611 597 why are you following me (1)_1

Chapter 611: 597, why are you following me (1)_1 Chapter 611: 597, why are you following me (1)_1 Quan Jingwu extended his hand to take the red envelopes from her, then promptly stored them in a bag which he set aside. He sat down next to her, offering her to lean on him.

At this moment, Bai Jue and Black Jack also entered.

Both men were breathtakingly handsome, easily capturing everyone’s attention.

Everyone had already met Bai Jue, but it was their first time seeing Black Jack, naturally making them all a bit curious.

Watching Zhan Mingyan’s reaction from the corner of her eye, Jian Qing revealed a smirk.

This should be fun.

Zhan Mingyan stood rooted to the spot, the image of her dream lover mirrored clearly in her eyes. His sudden appearance was so surprising that she even forgot to breathe.

“Mingyan, what’s wrong with you?” Quan Yifei noticed Zhan Mingyan’s dazed expression, nudged her with his elbow and asked.

Catching sight of the man’s handsome profile, Zhan Mingyan recoiled as though she had been scalded, quickly averting her gaze in a flustered manner.

“I’m fine.”

She lowered her head, her hands nervously fidgeting with one another, a subconscious action when she was anxious.

“Indeed, every person by my sister-in-law’s side is exceptionally attractive.” Quan Yifei rested his chin on his hands, admirably remarking with sparkling eyes.

“You reckless girl, with so many people here, can’t you act a bit more reserved?” Lin Su held her forehead, looking exasperated at her daughter as she chided her with a wry smile.

How did she end up with a daughter so crazy about handsome men?

“Why should I be reserved? Gorgeous people deserve to be admired!” Quan Yifei retorted with no hint of shame.

With her words, everyone burst into laughter.

“Sis, your sister-in-law sure is quite interesting.” Jian Luo, sitting next to Jian Qing, whispered amusingly.

“I also think the view behind your ear is quite interesting.” Jian Qing lightly patted his shoulder, a sly smile adorning her lips.

Jian Luo stiffened for a moment, hastily combing his hair with his hand.

A faint red mark flitted across the fair skin behind his ear, concealed instantly by his chestnut locks.

“There were too many mosquitoes last night, far too many.” His voice quivered, revealing his lack of confidence.

Damned Black Jack, he really screwed me over this time.

Humming noncommittally, knowing how sensitive he was, Jian Qing ceased her teasing.

“Bai Jue, where is my baby’s red envelope?” She looked towards Bai Jue, demanding her gift.

Bai Jue’s lips quivered, retorting reluctantly, “Why are you only hassling me? Black Jack hasn’t given his either.”

Picking on him just because he was alone is just too uncalled for.

“Black Jack already gave his.” she retorted.

Bai Jue quickly turned to Black Jack, who remained calm and unfazed, indifferent to Bai Jue’s astonished gaze.

“When did you give it?”

Didn’t they both come in together? When did he give it?

“Jian Luo delivered it on my behalf.” Black Jack responded indifferently, casting an imperceptible glance towards Jian Luo.

Bai Jue snorted, he had been left out again.

“Keep the red envelopes for now, and give them all at the full-month celebration, okay ‘money-lover’?”

Jian Qing raised her eyebrow, not quite convinced.

“Xiaojing, remember, don’t let him slip away next time.”

Jingwu chuckled in response, good-naturedly agreeing.

Bai Jue, “…”

Can we be friends?

Watching the banter among the group, the atmosphere exuded close camaraderie, making it hard for others to join in. As if they were from two different worlds, Zhan Mingyan couldn’t help feeling a bit disheartened.

“Why are you here, ‘flat-chest’?” Bai Jue, after scanning the ward, finally noticed Zhan Mingyan sitting alone. His voice, rich and clear, conveyed a hint of surprise.

At his words, everyone’s gaze turned towards Zhan Mingyan.

Especially Quan Yifei, his eyes gleaming with gossip.

Hmm, this smells like an illicit affair.

Facing the curious gazes of everyone, Zhan Mingyan blushed furiously, glancing at Bai Jue with thinly veiled anger. Any previous feelings of dismay and anxiety evaporated instantly.

Damn it!

That Peacock Man is just incapable of uttering a single kind word.

Standing up, she turned to Jian Qing, “I’m going to leave now, Jian Qing. I’ll visit you another time.”

Jian Qing glanced askance at Bai Jue, and nodded slightly, “Take care.”

Grabbing her bag, Zhan Mingyan turned to leave. As she passed Bai Jue, she shot him a witheringly cold glance.

She snorted disdainfully and strode away briskly.

“…”

Bai Jue wore an expression of innocence.

What had he done wrong?

Why was ‘flat-chested’ acting as if she had swallowed a sour bug?

Regaining his composure, he saw Jian Qing and the others holding back their laughter.

What’s with the creepy smiles on their faces?

He couldn’t take it anymore!

“Bai Jue, you better go check on her. It’s New Year’s, and you’re still fond of making cutting remarks.” Jian Qing commented.

“What do you mean, making cutting remarks?” Bai Jue was utterly confused by her reproof.

Jian Qing reminded him, “She has a name, why don’t you use it?”

Bai Jue suddenly understood, then awkwardly looked away.

All he did was call her ‘flat-chest’ once, was there a need to be so angry?

“Hurry up and apologize to her. You lack gentlemanly manners.” Jian Qing added.

Alright, he was afraid of her now.

First, she said he lacked manners, who knew what she would say next.

A pregnant woman comes first, he didn’t dare offend, but he could hide, right?

“Alright, Miss Jian, I’m going.”

Said Bai Jue, making a goofy remark before he spun around and left.

At the elevator, Zhan Mingyan hung her head low, the pointed heels of her shoes clicking rhythmically against the floor.

Damn Bai Jue, rotten Bai Jue, I really despise you.

With a “ding”, the elevator doors opened.

Zhan Mingyan took a step forward to enter, but a gust of wind suddenly passed from behind her and within the blink of an eye, a person appeared by her side.

“You…”

As Zhan Mingyan looked up to see who it was, surprise flashed in her eyes.

“What do you want from me?”

With his sharp facial features and mischievous beautiful eyes, brimming with a captivating vitality, one could easily get caught up in his charm.

Meeting his dazzling smile, Zhan Mingyan’s heart rate quickened, an unexplainable hint of excitement stirring within her.

Bai Jue, with his hands in his pockets and a bemused smile on his face, teased, “Who’s following you? Surely, this elevator isn’t exclusively for you?”

A single retort from him managed to extinguish the spark of excitement Zhan Mingyan was feeling.

Zhan Mingyan’s teeth clenched in irritation, her beautiful eyes sparking with fury. “Enjoy your ride in the elevator.”

With that, she turned to leave the elevator.

But Bai Jue smirked lightly and caught her wrist, pulling her back in.

“Afraid of me, are you?”

His seductive voice echoed from above her. Startled, Zhan Mingyan’s balance faltered and she began to stumble to the side.

“Hey!”

She gave a small exclamation, instinctively closing her eyes.

Instead of the anticipated pain, a faint fragrance swirled around her nose. Opening her eyes, her sight was filled with a white shirt.

“‘Flat-chest’, are you throwing yourself at me?”

His magnetic voice echoed above her, laced with a hint of teasing.
