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

Chapter 40

An Nuan watched the video of Gu Yan Sheng being supported by An Zhao as they entered a residential complex, then proceeded together into an apartment. The angle was somewhat distant, but it didn't hinder the clarity captured by the high-definition camera.

She continued watching Gu Yan Sheng and An Zhao, starting from the moment they entered the room. Gu Yan Sheng suddenly transformed into a different person, passionately kissing An Zhao with an eager and unabashed manner.

In her previous life, she had been married to Gu Yan Sheng for ten years. Ten years. She had never witnessed Gu Yan Sheng being so impatient.

An Nuan found it somewhat ironic, but she didn't feel too emotional about it. After all, she had already accepted all the disgusting and despicable aspects of Gu Yan Sheng.

In the video, Gu Yan Sheng embraced An Zhao and they climbed onto the bed. An Zhao displayed a mix of resistance and acceptance beneath Gu Yan Sheng.

As they kissed, they gradually removed each other's clothes...

"Hey!" An Nuan's expression darkened.

Someone abruptly snatched her phone from her hand.

She glared at Ye Jinghuai with anger and spoke in a stern tone, "What are you doing?"

"Getting angry seeing your fiancé with another woman...?" Ye Jinghuai raised an eyebrow.

"No," An Nuan replied, her tone still unfriendly. "I just want to confirm if they really did it."

"Miss An doesn't understand men," Ye Jinghuai commented while pocketing the phone. He continued, "When it comes to the decisive moment, men never abruptly stop. Unless..."

"Unless what?!" An Nuan stared intently at Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai remained silent, but his gaze, the way he looked at her, seemed somewhat suspicious.

He changed the subject directly. "I've already confirmed it for Miss An. Absolutely, they did it thoroughly."

"I don't need you to confirm it for me," An Nuan snapped, feeling aggravated.

She felt like Ye Jinghuai was leading her by the nose.

"So, Miss An wants to personally witness Gu Yan Sheng's physicality?" Ye Jinghuai spoke frankly.

He could be a gentleman at times, but at others... he was clearly a rogue.

He would say anything.

"Miss An, it's better not to watch. Let me responsibly tell you, Gu Yan Sheng isn't worth it," Ye Jinghuai added with hidden implications.

An Nuan sometimes found it exhausting to talk to Ye Jinghuai.

In that moment, she blurted out, her voice filled with anger, "He's not worth it, but are you?"

Ye Jinghuai nodded confidently.

An Nuan felt like she was going to explode from anger.

Wasn't it just because he looked slightly handsome?

What's so noteworthy about him?

It was only much later that An Nuan discovered what Ye Jinghuai meant by "worth it"!

"Miss An, staying out all night, aren't you afraid of angering your parents?" Ye Jinghuai blatantly ignored her anger and kindly reminded her, "Your phone was ringing all night last night."

An Nuan seemed to suddenly realize.

"Where's my phone?" An Nuan asked.

At that moment, she was also thinking, "I'm in trouble!"

How was she going to explain where she had been to her parents?!

Ye Jinghuai handed her the phone.

"Why was it turned off?"

"It was incessantly noisy, so I turned it off," Ye Jinghuai casually explained.

An Nuan really wanted to bite him to death.

Her parents must have been worried sick last night.

She quickly turned on her phone.

At the moment of turning it on, numerous missed calls flashed on the screen.

There were twenty calls from her parents, Xia Qiqi's calls, and even recent calls from Gu Yan Sheng.

An Nuan gritted her teeth and decided to call Xia Qiqi first.

She dialed the number.

"An Nuan, if you don't contact me soon, I'll really call the police!" Xia Qiqi exclaimed.

"...My ears are going deaf." An Nuan sighed.

"Are you kidnapped by Ye Jinghuai? Tell me! I'll call the police and have him thrown into prison and beaten to death!" Xia Qiqi was extremely agitated.

"No, I'm fine. I just got drunk last night and ended up sleeping at Ye Jinghuai's place," An Nuan explained.

"Slept at his place?" Xia Qiqi's voice became louder.

"Nothing happened, really."

"Does Ye Jinghuai seem like someone who would be innocent?" Xia Qiqi didn't believe it at all.

An Nuan didn't believe it either.

But the truth was, nothing happened between her and Ye Jinghuai.

By now, she was pretty certain that nothing had happened between them last night.

After all...

She had experienced her first time with someone else.

The first time would definitely leave an impression.

But she felt nothing now.

Actually...

She never expected Ye Jinghuai to be so restrained.

She always thought this man could get lustful at any moment.

Or maybe...

She just naturally lacked appeal to men.

Gu Yan Sheng showed no interest in her.

And the same went for Ye Jinghuai.

Whatever.

An Nuan felt it wasn't worth dwelling on these matters.

She no longer had any expectations for men.

So she didn't care about the image she had in their minds.

"An Nuan!" Xia Qiqi called out loudly.

"Anyway, I'm fine now. I called you to let you know that I'm going back home. I'll tell my parents that I got drunk and slept at your place, so you need to coordinate your statement with your dad, stepmom, and Nanchen. Don't let the truth slip," An Nuan explained.

Xia Qiqi instantly became dissatisfied. "Why should I take the blame?!"

"Because you're kind-hearted," An Nuan chuckled.

"..."

"I'm hanging up now," An Nuan said. Then she suddenly remembered something. "By the way, if Gu Yan Sheng calls you, give him the same answer, okay?"

"An Nuan, you've really fallen. You've actually learned how to cheat," Xia Qiqi never minced her words when it came to An Nuan.

"No, soon you'll realize that the one cheating isn't me!"

An Nuan finished her instructions and hung up the phone.

Xia Qiqi was just casually talking and didn't bother with any courtesy.

An Nuan turned to look at Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai seemed uninterested in her conversation with Xia Qiqi, idly scrolling through his phone.

"I'll leave the video with you," An Nuan said, getting down to business.

"Aren't you going to expose it?" Ye Jinghuai raised his gaze and asked calmly.

"Not for now," An Nuan stated confidently. "I want to bring Gu Yan Sheng down from his pedestal when he least expects it, and send him from heaven to hell."

Ye Jinghuai's eyes flickered.

He still had some doubt about An Nuan's transformation.

How could a person change so suddenly?

What exactly had she experienced to become the way she was now?

And those fragmented, unclear words she spoke last night... He pieced them together later on.

The resulting culmination was, "Gu Yan Sheng, you killed my parents, destroyed my entire family, seized my family's fortune, and left me with no peace in death. I will surely repay you twofold!"

What if it was just a nightmare and the ramblings of a dream?

Why would reality lead in that direction?

But what if it wasn't just a nightmare?

How did An Nuan know that Gu Yan Sheng would kill her entire family and seize her inheritance?!

So many questions.

Yet, Ye Jinghuai didn't show any reaction.

"I'm leaving," An Nuan said, not wanting to delay any longer after discussing the matter at hand.

She intended to leave the villa directly.

"So, Miss An, are you planning to leave wearing my pajamas?" Ye Jinghuai asked her with a smirk, standing behind her.
