Chapter 140: Not Revealing His True Self
An Yi woke up slowly, feeling too dizzy to open his eyes. He felt something flat and soft beneath him and realized he was lying on a bed.
Bed...bed? Teng's eyes widened. The room was quiet, and the dim light coming through the heavy curtains barely showed that this was the decoration style of the hotel room. An Yi rolled her eyes with effort, trying to make her brain active as soon as possible. The guest room, the bar, Fan Jiaer... She remembered that Fan Jiaer said she was drunk, and asked him to escort her to the suite upstairs, and then pestered her and kept talking...
Fragments of the chat flashed into his mind intermittently, and An Yi felt his face burning, and thought of the girls in the bar... Alas, it was a pity that he lived to be over 30 years old and didn't notice any clues earlier. He suddenly raised his hand to touch his collar and found that he was covered with a thin blanket, the buttons were neatly fastened, the belt was not loosened, and the inner clothes were also in place. Then he gently twisted his body... Judging from his many years of experience in marriage, it seemed that there was a high probability that she was safe, and he put most of his heart at ease.
"Good morning. Are you awake?"
A soft female voice came from the corner, and An Yi sat up suddenly in shock - dizzy. Holding her head with both hands, she looked up with difficulty and saw a young girl dressed as a nurse walking towards her quickly. An Yi was puzzled: Nurse? Am I sick? Or are the girls playing role-playing games?
After experiencing the weirdness of last night, An Yi's vigilance was at its highest level.
The young nurse noticed An Yi's surprise and precautions, and took the initiative to introduce herself: "I am the medical staff stationed in the hotel. Your friend was very worried about you last night. Fortunately, the doctor diagnosed that you were just drunk, so he left me to take care of you."
Friend? It must be Fan Jiaer, right?
An Yi nodded. She was definitely drunk, but when did she fall asleep? He tilted his head to think, then looked towards the window. He quickly jumped up and pulled open the curtains. Bright sunlight instantly filled the room. He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and asked anxiously, "What time is it?"
"It's just after seven o'clock now."
"Seven o'clock? I have to go to work!" Although An Yi's mind was numb, he still remembered that today was Monday. He walked in circles, muttering: Oh my God, damn it! I'm going to die! It's too late, too late... He completely lost his composure.
"What time do you start work?"
"Nine o'clock!"
The young nurse hurriedly comforted him: "As long as you don't work in the suburbs, you will definitely make it in time."
"Sister An An, the hotel is only a few kilometers away from our company, so we have plenty of time."
When this voice came out, An Yi stopped in shock and looked towards the door: "Chi Qi!"
"Haha, I just guessed that it would scare you! I was at the bar last night, and Fan Jiaer said that you passed out drunk as soon as you arrived at the room. She was worried that something might happen and asked me to come up to help. So I called a doctor and settled you down, which was really tiring. But Fan Jiaer went back to the bar to continue having fun. I'm still the most reliable one!" After explaining in one breath, Chi Qi thought that if he spoke any later, the words he had prepared would be messed up.
"Thank you so much! I made sure you couldn't have a good time." An Yi was full of apologies and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely relieved as he was sure that nothing like that happened to him last night.
Chi Qi focused on An Yi's expression, feeling grateful for the trust this sister had in him, and he really didn't let her down. He raised his wrist to check the time and smiled, "It's still early, enough time to wash up and take a shower. Oh, don't worry, the clothes are ready, this is all thanks to Fan Jiaer. There's no need to thank her, she got you drunk."
An Yi shook his head: "Don't blame Miss Fan, she certainly didn't expect that my alcohol tolerance is so poor."
"Maybe." Chi Qi shrugged without comment: "That's the bathroom, just pick whatever you want from the clothes rack. No need to be polite, and don't mention returning anything. You're abandoning a guest, but at least you should let her do her part as a good host." Without waiting for An Yi's response, he waved his hand and left with the nurse.
After sending the nurse out the door, Chi Qi was frightened by the person standing behind him: "Boss Ding!"
Ding Hong signaled her to be quiet, and then checked the direction of the bedroom to see if anyone was disturbed. Then he asked in a deep voice, "How is she? Is she feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine. The hangover medicine the doctor gave me last night worked well."
"I heard her say something anxious?"
"Oh." Chi Qi smiled and said, "Sister An An suddenly thought of going to work and scared herself. I told her that it was not too late. The words and clothes have been handled as you instructed, so please rest assured."
"So does she...remember anything about me?"
Chi Qi shook his head: "I'm afraid she can't even remember when she fell asleep."
It was just as he expected. Ding Hong nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's have breakfast."
"Okay." Chi Qi was not polite. She was really hungry. The floor manager personally delivered a table of breakfast just now. It must have been arranged by Fan Jiayao, not his bastard sister. But he was not too bastard. After kicking the table and throwing the chairs and running away last night, he did not forget to send the private butler of this suite to come and select more than ten sets of clothes from the clothes stored here by Miss Fan for An Yi to change.
Unfortunately, their kindness was taken for granted. Their mighty and powerful CEO Ding refused directly and sent driver Xiao Yang to buy a brand new one in the middle of the night. Seeing this, Chi Qi laughed secretly, but also felt a little more worried for Sister An An.
And what Mr. Ding told her later was even more interesting: asking her to say that those clothes were prepared by Fan Jiaer, and hiding her true identity... not seeking fame or profit and quietly doing good deeds? Chi Qi Juezhi didn't believe it, and it was more likely that the boss was holding back and preparing to use a big move.
Sister An An, it is easy to hide in a wolf's den, but it is hard to escape from a tiger's lair. Chi Qi took a bite of the croissant and swallowed it silently with a sigh.
After a simple bath, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and looked at the several sets of clothes on the hanger. They looked very similar to her usual style. Was it a coincidence or was Fan Jiaer very observant? She took out a set that she liked and put it on quickly. She put the clothes she changed into the bag on the hanger that was specially marked for its purpose. She quickly checked herself in the dressing mirror, took her things and walked out of the bedroom quickly.
"Hurry up!" Chi Qi was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing a mobile game. When he heard the door open, he ended the game and stood up: "Breakfast is ready in the dining room. Eat something before leaving. There's still time."
"No, I have no appetite." An Yi shook his head, and suddenly remembered to ask: "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Chi Qi put away his phone, shook out the wrinkles on his clothes, and quickly picked up an exquisite food box from the low table beside him and stuffed it into An Yi's mouth: "I knew you would refuse, so I packed it up. You can eat it on the way."
An Yi smiled: "You are handsome and thoughtful, your charm is amazing."
Chi Qi laughed dryly, thinking that it was Mr. Ding who was very attentive. Glancing at An Yi's outfit today, he sighed secretly: He knows your personality and preferences, so you can only wish for the best. Without saying anything more, he snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go!"
Just as the door closed, a man walked out from the guest bedroom. It was Ding Hong.
"Handsome and considerate?" The voice murmured and finally turned into a sneer. She shouldn't have let Chi Qi send her off. Ding Hong was upset about the decision she had made with great difficulty, but she knew that this was the best course of action after weighing the pros and cons.
If I show up, An Yi will definitely be suspicious and think deeply about what happened last night, but she will definitely not ask me, but ask Fan Jiaer or Chi Qi. Ding Hong doesn't want An Yi to have anything to do with them anymore, and doesn't want her to recall the experience of last night over and over again. Moreover, even if she loses her memory after drinking, An Yi can guess that the bar and the people in it are unusual with her shrewdness. Most feelings are born out of curiosity and concern. Isn't I a living example?
Chi Qi's appearance was relatively natural and easy to explain. In addition, she clearly expressed her disapproval of Jia Er's behavior, so Ding Hong assumed that Chi Qi was safe. Moreover, he had already asked An Yi a lot of questions while she was confused last night...
Thinking of this, Ding Hong pursed his lips tightly and hammered the door panel beside him with a muffled bang. He hated that he was still thinking about how to cast the net, and the other party was almost changed to another route. It was true that the timid died of starvation and the bold died of gluttony. He, Ding Hong, had always been vigorous and resolute in the business world, but now he despised those who were dragging their feet.
If you care too much, you will be in chaos. If you care too much, you will be in chaos, but he cannot be in chaos.
Putting aside his frustration, Ding Hong started thinking about the next step again. When An Yi was awake, he would never get any information from her, but Chi Qi might be able to. But there was a prerequisite, An Yi couldn't know that Chi Qi called her, otherwise the woman would definitely regard Chi Qi as her confidant and keep her mouth shut.
Forget it, forget it. Trust your employees. Since Chi Qi has agreed to report later, I should stop worrying and be a good unsung hero.
The door was opened again. Ding Hong didn't look up, because he knew who was coming.
Fan Jiaer was pulled in by her brother. When she turned around the entrance, she saw Brother Xiao Jiang standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a dark suit. Compared with the casual clothes he wore last night, his temperament was even more cold and arrogant, and he looked intimidating without even showing any anger.
When she was a girl, she had a good eye for things, and it was worth it that she had secretly loved him for several years. However, Zhaohua was gone, and her innocence was gone. When she noticed Xiaojiang's feelings for An Yi, she was curious but not sad at all. Fan Jiaer was sure that her first love was over.
"Don't hire her in the future." Ding Hong looked at Fan Jiaer, who was exhausted after a night of crazy fun.
Jiaer rolled her eyes: "What if she comes to provoke me?"
"No." He said it firmly, but hesitated after a second: "Then you call me and let me handle it, and you won't be responsible."
"Oh my, it's your responsibility." Jia Er sarcastically said, "Have you forgotten what you said last night? Besides, whether she comes to see me or not, whether I pay attention to her or not, that's our freedom."
"You go find someone else to be free."
"What about her? Can she find someone else to be free?"
"Nonsense! Just promise to stay away from her. Do I need to tell you the reason?"
Ding Hong was annoyed, and his ruthless words hit Jiaer's sore spot and self-esteem. She jumped up and started to scold: "Stop pretending to be so high-handed! You and my brother are my predecessors, no no no! You played more fancy than me back then. What? Now that you are old and can't play anymore, you are pretending to be righteous? Disgusting!"
"Jia'er!" Fan Jiayao couldn't bear to listen any longer and scolded his sister: "It's been a long time, why are you still bringing up those things! It's precisely because we've been through this that we're more worried about you." Then he said with a headache: "You were very well behaved before. What kind of friends did you make after returning home? Father is right, you should go back and finish your studies..."
"No! I won't go back!" Jia'er was horrified and screamed, "You are looking for an excuse to abandon me again!"
"Nonsense! Don't you feel the indulgence of your parents and me? Even if the bar is messed up... we still want to persuade you instead of closing it down directly!"
"Why? Why are you so kind to 'indulge' me?" Jiaer sneered: "When I was about to be born, my father happened to be in luck. For the sake of his career, he didn't dare to reveal the existence of me, the second child born out of the extra birth order, and sent me far away abroad. If he hadn't stepped down in the past two years, I would still be an illegal resident. The most ridiculous thing is that he said to both inside and outside the house that he didn't disclose my identity in order to protect me and because he loved me too much." Jiaer casually wiped away the tears that had unconsciously overflowed, raised her chin high, her eyes full of hurt and disobedience.
The two men in the room were speechless. The Fan family and the Ding family were old friends with many common interests, so Ding Hong knew the existence of Jiaer's secret since he was a child.
"The family did owe you, and we have nothing to say. But your parents also spent a lot of time and effort on you. At the beginning, we sent you to the Chen family who had immigrated overseas because I was planning to send you there to study abroad in a few years. Not only could I take care of you nearby, but your parents would also have more reasons to visit you. Speaking of which, I often regret that I was too playful back then and did not fulfill my responsibilities as a big brother..."
"Regret? What a coincidence! Mom and Dad also said they regretted it. That's such a pity! Time is gone forever, I can't go back, and neither can you. You just regret it, but I, who was totally unnecessary, deserve to live to this day with such a shameless face!"
