“Isn’t she… Third Master’s nephew’s former fiancee?” Ji Ye had just finished speaking when a man beside him instinctively murmured contemptuously and disdainfully.
As soon as his voice fell, he was jabbed in the arm by another man and he fell silent.
“Sorry for making Young Master Ji laugh.” Nan Yan also smiled and looked at the man who had just said that with a colder smile on her face. “It seems that Young Master Xun doesn’t know me very well, so let me introduce myself. My name is Nan Yan. I think Young Master Xun should have heard of the Nan family. After all, there aren’t many people in Luo City whose surname is Nan.”
“Xun Ye, what do you mean by this? Yan Yan has a name. Besides, Yan Yan and Fu Xiao’s marriage was called off more than a month ago, so it has long become irrelevant.” Su Tanqing had always been fiercely protective, and she was very blunt. She felt very uncomfortable after listening to Xun Ye’s taunts. After Nan Yan said those words, she unceremoniously fired back as well.
The atmosphere in the room was originally lively but suddenly dropped to a freezing point. Ji Ye didn’t care and watched it all with intrigue and amusement.
Fu Jingheng’s eyes became sullen. He glanced at Xun Ye first, then glanced at the calm Nan Yan from the corners of his eyes.
“Hey, okay, okay, Miss Nan, please don’t mind. Xun Ye has always been open-mouthed and has no other ill intentions. Please forgive him. Where did we play up to just now? Miss Nan, come play together! Miss Su played dirty a lot just now, so come be the judge.” Seeing that the situation was wrong, the man who had just blocked Xun Ye quickly eased the situation and turned the topic to the game just now.
When he said this, several other men also helped chide in, so the atmosphere eased a little bit and wasn’t as tense as before.
“Hey, it’s obvious that your skills aren’t as good as others. Jinxi and this beautiful girl can testify. How can you have the face to say that after losing so much to me?” Facing their accusations, Su Tanqing was quite unconvinced, and she retorted with her hands on her hips.
Ji Ye glanced at Fu Jingheng’s face, and when he found nothing unusual, he smiled and suggested, “Let’s do it! It’s boring for us to bet on alcohol like this. How about a different bet?”
“What bet?” Su Tanqing squinted at him.
She and Ji Ye have been acquainted for two to three years, and they met because of the ancient drama “A Thousand Cities Decision”, which was adapted from a previous novel, so were some rumours about them being in a relationship, but later the two of them became one of the best pair of friends in the entertainment industry. The male and female protagonists in the next ancient drama “Foggy Words” will also be the two of them.
“Lao Fu, do you want to come to play?” Ji Ye’s lips twitched and revealed a devilish smirk. “Today is my birthday anyway. Since you’re already here, why don’t you participate? From this party, after eating, you just sat there without saying a word. Why, did I invite you to be a sculpture mascot for my party?”
“The fact that I’m here today has already given you face.” Fu Jingheng stared at him coldly, raised his hand to play with his cuff, and replied aloofly.
“Alright, I don’t have the power to sway you.” Too lazy to pay attention to him, Ji Ye waved his hand and looked at Nan Yan. “Is Miss Nan interested?”
Nan Yan didn’t think that she would make the atmosphere so tense when she came, but the tone of Xun Ye’s words just made her feel a little uncomfortable. Although she was carefree and aloof, she wasn’t a pushover, so she couldn’t help but retort him. Since they were already extending the olive branch, she couldn’t keep holding onto the grudge forever. Otherwise, it would seem that she is too petty and deliberately trying to ruin his birthday party.
