The doors opened, and Han Dan and company saw An Ning standing at the door of Ye Mo’s room.
“Zhi Rang, you guys go eat first. I’ll eat here. This person said he’d treat me,” An Ning said, pointing at Ye Mo casually.
Noticing Zhi Rang wanted to say something, she waved him off. “That’s all.”
Zhi Rang didn’t dare rebuke her but shamelessly said, “Then why not join our table? It’s on me.”
Perhaps because they were used to getting their way, Zhi Rang waved at the waiter before Ye Mo and Chong Yuanyuan could agree.
“When did I agree to join tables with you!” Chong Yuanyuan was unhappy she couldn’t even peacefully treat Ye Mo to dinner.
“It’s you? No wonder Jingwen said she was going to Tan Du out of nowhere—you’re here, eating with another girl. I wonder what Jingwen would say if she saw this,” Zhang Lailin noticed Ye Mo.
“Jingwen, this way!” Chong Yuanyuan saw Su Jingwen and called out.
Ye Mo noticed Su Jingwen looked fatigued and realized she’d come because of him. Zhang Lailin probably came because of her.
Ye Mo felt guilty but didn’t know what to say to Su Jingwen. He’d married Ning Qingxue, and Su Jingwen knew that, yet she’d still chased him. What could he say?
“Ye Mo,” Su Jingwen walked up, her sadness evident.
In Ye Mo’s heart, Su Jingwen had always been a friend he could talk to, even when desolate. She’d never looked down on him or spoken to him in such a wronged tone.
Yet, as soon as she arrived, she expressed her hurt feelings. Ye Mo sighed. He only had Ning Qingxue and Luo Ying in his heart. Many good women existed, but he couldn’t accept them all.
“Um, Jingwen, have a seat. I rushed over because I hadn’t heard from Beiwei,” Ye Mo hesitantly explained.
An Ning suddenly realized, ‘No wonder this young man didn’t seem to notice me. He has such a pretty girlfriend!’ Jingwen’s appearance was comparable to hers, even surpassing her in some aspects.
But An Ning didn’t understand why such a perfect Su Jingwen would feel wronged following him.
“Jingwen…” Zhang Lailin saw Su Jingwen sit beside Ye Mo, his face paling. His feelings for Su Jingwen were genuine, but seeing Ye Mo, he knew why Su Jingwen had come from Ning Hai on the same plane.
He’d lost to some random young guy.
An Ning looked at Su Jingwen, Ye Mo, and Zhang Lailin, understanding the situation. She wanted to spit in Ye Mo’s face. Someone as beautiful as Su Jingwen had lowered her dignity to chase him, yet he hesitated.
As everyone talked, the waiter served the food.
“You must be tired from the trip from Ning Hai, right? Hm, this Song Tree Dew swan liver is average, but edible,” Ye Mo said.
Seeing Ye Mo stay and talk, Su Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief. At least he hadn’t left upon seeing her.
Seeing Ye Mo take the most expensive dish, Zhi Rang was unhappy, but Su Jingwen was pretty, so he couldn’t say much. Only An Ning was clearly unhappy.
“Since you wanted to join, then hurry and eat. We won’t wait for you,” Ye Mo said.
Although they didn’t mind the cost, they were paying, so Zhi Rang and Han Dan reached for the food they liked.
An Ning finally sat down, and only Zhang Lailin seemed lost.
“Brother Ye, I heard Beiwei said she’d be going to Luo Yue in a few months, is that true?” Chong Yuanyuan casually said, immediately catching everyone’s attention.
Ye Mo nodded. “Yes, if she didn’t have business in Ning Hai, she’d be going now. If you want to go to Luo Yue too, go with Beiwei. Why not move your parents there as well?”
“I could go too?! But I heard it’s harder to get into Luo Yue after the war. Could I really go?” Chong Yuanyuan exclaimed joyfully. Beiwei rarely mentioned Ye Mo, so she didn’t know Luo Yue was his.
“Of course! Jingwen, you can come too if you want,” Ye Mo smiled.
Su Jingwen smiled sweetly. “I planned on going to Luo Yue, but I was afraid you wouldn’t want it, so I didn’t ask.”
“Why wouldn’t I want it? The more people I know who go to Luo Yue, the better,” Ye Mo smiled.
Han Dan looked at Ye Mo and seemed to think of something.
An Ning initially thought Ye Mo was bluffing Chong Yuanyuan and sneered, but hearing Su Jingwen’s words, she thought it could be real.
“Can you really make immigrating to Luo Yue possible?” An Ning subconsciously asked.
“That’s our business. Jingwen, Yuanyuan, you’re done eating, right? Let’s go. They’re paying, so we don’t need to worry about the bill,” Ye Mo got up.
“Wait!” An Ning stopped him.
Ye Mo’s eyes focused, intensely staring at her necklace. He’d seen it earlier but hadn’t thought much of it. Now, scanning it with his spirit sense, it felt familiar. It was a fish’s eye.
Not exactly—two fish eyes forming a bead.
Ye Mo was sure it was a broken piece of the Yin Yang Fish Eight Trigram. He already had two pieces, and now he saw a pair of eyes. He would take it no matter what.
Ye Mo had a premonition the Yin Yang Fish was no simple thing. If it was a cultivation material and he missed it, he’d regret it for life.
“Where are you looking?” An Ning took a step back. She didn’t expect him to stare at her chest.
“Ye Mo?” Su Jingwen realized Ye Mo’s gaze wasn’t right and subconsciously held his arm.
She thought he’d had too much to drink, and her action was as if saying, ‘I’m no lesser than this An Ning.’ She also meant to protect Ye Mo and show that the man she liked wasn’t like that. Only An Ning could interpret her actions.
