Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!-Chapter 374 - 222: Xia An Reveals the Truth, First Meeting with Feng Yushi

Wu Wei walked slowly towards the hotel, the crisp "click-click" of high heels and Xia An's slightly urgent call came from behind: "Wu Wei, wait a minute!"

The corner of his lips curled slightly, she really did follow.

Wu Wei stopped, turned around, and wore a trace of impatience for being interrupted: "What do you want?"

Xia An jogged to him, slightly out of breath, her ample chest rising and falling.

She raised her face, her moist big almond eyes showing just the right amount of innocence and plea: "I feel like there's some misunderstanding between us, can we... find a place to sit and talk?"

Wu Wei happened to have something he wanted to ask her, so he nodded: "Okay."

Wu Wei also had things he wanted to ask him, thus nodded in agreement: "Alright then."

The two walked into the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, one after the other, directly taking the elevator to the 38th-floor executive lounge.

This is an exclusive venue open only to guests staying in executive rooms or above, offering round-the-clock dining services, with a private and luxurious environment.

Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows is the bustling city view of Nanjin City's downtown, while inside the lighting is soft, and the combination of dark wooden furniture with leather sofas creates a stable style.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance, the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee, and the scent of exquisite desserts.

Uniformed servers moved gracefully and whispered softly among them. The background is filled with soothing classical jazz music, everything exuding the unique, low-key yet comprehensive luxury of a top hotel.

Both ordered a glass of freshly squeezed juice; then from the dazzling buffet counter, they took a small selection of exquisite fruits, snacks, and desserts and sat down at a relatively quiet window side seat.

Xia An gracefully sat down opposite Wu Wei, picked up the crystal-clear glass, and took a sip of juice.

Sensuous red lips left a faint mark on the rim of the glass.

She lifted those captivating almond eyes, stared straight at Wu Wei, her gaze clearly bright yet seemingly filled with endless allure.

"Wu Wei, there really is nothing going on between Zhang Quan and me."

She said while putting down the glass, her voice lazy with a touch of helplessness: "I was truly bothered by him, that's why I agreed to have a simple dinner with him today."

She deliberately changed the address from "President Zhang" to "Zhang Quan," trying to close the distance with Wu Wei, while clarifying the relationship.

"Bothered to the point of no recourse?"

Wu Wei smiled, his tone laced with amusement: "Then why not just delete or block his WeChat?"

"I'd like to."

Xia An seemed to know he'd say that, upon hearing it, she slightly frowned, her eyes complexly replied: "But he... after all, is Lily's boss, I'm afraid if I go too far, he'll take it out on Lily later."

Wu Wei almost laughed out loud, what a truly "deep sisterhood" reason.

He said sarcastically: "Oh, does Liu Lili know that her good friend made such a big 'sacrifice' for her?"

Wu Wei knew very well, a woman like Xia An who "passes through flowers without a drop on her, " definitely isn't simple.

Her outing with Zhang Quan today was 100% treating him like a cash cow, intending to gain benefits from him.

Speaking of which, his appearance really wasn't well-timed then, interrupting her money-grabbing process.

If he'd known, he'd have waited until she finished before speaking.

"I can't explicitly tell her about this."

Xia An feigned ignorance towards Wu Wei's implied meaning, sighed lightly, a hint of distress appearing on her charming face: "I know Zhang Quan is interested in me, I can only stabilize him like this for now."

Her gaze sincerely looked at Wu Wei: "Wu Wei, could you keep this a secret for me and not tell Lily, okay? I'm afraid she'd overthink it, affecting our relationship."

Wu Wei mused, I couldn't care less about saying another sentence to that Liu Lili bitch.

However, since she actively handed over this "handle," he saw no need to turn it away.

So he nodded: "Alright, but I have something to ask you, you must answer truthfully."

Xia An's eyes brightened, her body naturally leaned closer in great interest and cooperation: "What is it? Ask away, what I know I will surely tell you."

Wu Wei looked into her eyes, bringing forth a long-standing question from his mind: "Why was Liu Lili looking for me everywhere recently?"

Xia An hearing this, obviously paused, a flash of almost imperceptible panic crossed her face, seemingly not expecting Wu Wei to bring this up suddenly.

She reflexively took a sip of juice, her expression clearly in turmoil.

Seeing this, Wu Wei pretended to get up: "Don't want to say? Forget it, I'm leaving."

"Hey, no, wait!"

Xia An hurriedly put down the glass, her tone urgently said.

"She..."

She bit her lower lip, hesitated for several seconds, then seemed to make up her mind, lowered her voice: "She's pregnant."

"Pregnant?"

Wu Wei was somewhat surprised, but on thinking carefully, it seemed very reasonable.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xin really guessed it right.

Indeed seeking him to take over.

Only the reason isn't "played enough," but "played into trouble."

A surge of anger rose from Wu Wei's heart.

"So calling me, the honest guy, to take over, right?"

He sneered: "Where's the baby's father then, is it that he doesn't know at all, or doesn't acknowledge it?"

Xia An observed Wu Wei's expression, cautiously said: "Lily said it's Zhang Quan's, but Zhang Quan doesn't acknowledge it, says unless she births the child for a paternity test to prove it's his before he acknowledges."
