About ten minutes later, Xia Wan’an received two ssages from Ai Jiang.
The first one was the location for late-night snacks.
The second one was a text ssage: "How about 10 p.m., I have sothing else to do before that. Is that fine with you, Wan’an?"
Xia Wan’an replied with a "grinning" emoji, then as usual, she kindly responded with a ssage: "Sure, sure."
...
At ten o’clock in the evening.
Xia Wan’an arrived on ti at the place she had agreed to et with Ai Jiang.
Ai Jiang was already waiting inside. Seeing her co in, she imdiately stood up and greeted her: "Wan’an, over here."
Xia Wan’an returned the greeting with a smile, walked over, and sat across from Ai Jiang.
After the pair ordered their late-night snacks, Ai Jiang imdiately took out her phone and transferred money to Xia Wan’an: "Wan’an, I’ve transferred the money to your Alipay account. Please check."
Xia Wan’an nodded, responded with a "Mm-hmm", and gave her phone a glance for good asure.
"Wan’an, I really appreciate you. If you hadn’t lent the money without hesitation that night, I wouldn’t have been able to pay for my dad’s surgery."
Looking at Ai Jiang, who seed so weak and helpless, Xia Wan’an was slightly taken aback.
Even now, she couldn’t believe that Ai Jiang was two-faced.
"Wan’an?"
Xia Wan’an snapped back to reality and responded with a smile. "It’s fine, we’ve known each other for so many years. It’s only natural to help in an ergency."
With a blush on her face Ai Jiang chuckled, "Anyway, thank you."
Xia Wan’an stayed silent and when the waiter brought their late-night snacks, she imdiately urged Ai Jiang to eat.
Ai Jiang kept chatting during the al.
Perhaps feeling slightly guilty, she looked up halfway through the al to tell Xia Wan’an, "Wan’an, I’m sorry, I’m handling so work stuff."
Xia Wan’an responded with an understanding expression and returned back to her usual accommodating manner, "That’s okay. You’re busy."
"Mm-hmm, I’ll be done soon..." Ai Jiang was busy pressing her phone, and suddenly she exclaid, "Ah, my phone is dead, and my work is not done yet!"
With that, she looked at Xia Wan’an, "Wan’an, could I borrow your phone? I just need to make a phone call, it’ll be quick..."
Intuition told Xia Wan’an that the real reason why Ai Jiang asked her out tonight had erged.
She knew it was a trap, but Xia Wan’an still handed over her phone: "It’s okay, use it."
Ai Jiang said "Thank you", took the phone, then dialed a series of numbers and made a call.
As she had said, she really did finish the call quickly. But when she returned the phone to Xia Wan’an, she glanced at the call log, pretended to accidentally hit "Old Gu", then returned the phone to Xia Wan’an as if she knew nothing.
When Xia Wan’an took her phone, the call just happened to be answered by Gu Yuzhi, but the voice that ca from the phone was a woman’s, "Why are you calling Azhi so late at night?"
Upon hearing this voice, Xia Wan’an paused, then replied "Sorry, wrong number," and hung up the phone.
"What happened?" Ai Jiang asked with an innocent face, and then, as she glanced at Xia Wan’an’s phone screen, her face looked puzzled, "Did I accidentally dial a number? I’m sorry, Wan’an, I didn’t notice."
Didn’t notice, or did it on purpose?
Looking at Ai Jiang’s nervous appearance while apologizing repeatedly, Xia Wan’an felt it was laughable.

[Note: So people asked why Han Jingnian noticed Wan’an out of nowhere. If you look carefully at the first fifty Chapters, I have written about the male lead’s emotions. For example, when the female lead told Ai Jiang she didn’t know him, there was a psychological shift in him. After that, when she fell asleep after carefully dressing up for a social event, he stared at her in a daze. Later when she got a wound on her back, he was a little shocked and guilty. Then, when she saved him in the company, he was moved step by step.]
