A night of chaos.
Jiang Nanfang had a series of messy dreams all night, and when she woke up the next morning, her bones felt like they were falling apart.
Her slender, long arms and legs stretched out from the brocade quilt, preparing to do a lazy stretch.
As she extended her hand and kicked her leg, she touched something strange beside her.
Recalling the dream from last night, she quickly opened her eyes and turned her head to look, and then she saw it...
Oh my god!!!
So last night wasn't a dream.
Zhan Beijue had actually gotten into her bed.
Six years later, six years after their divorce, she and her ex-husband, enemies who couldn't stand each other due to the custody battle for their children, had actually slept together again!
Zhan Beijue was still asleep, the quilt loosely draped over him, his muscular chest and arms completely exposed.
His eyes were tightly closed, his thin lips pressed together, his sword-like eyebrows black and dense, his nose high and straight. Except for a layer of stubble on his chin, his entire face was clean, without a single pore visible, a perfect specimen.
However, Jiang Nanfang had no intention of admiring this art-like sleeping beauty at the moment. Looking at him, then at herself, uncovered, she quickly wrapped herself in the quilt and scrambled out of bed to find her clothes.
It's not the first time, so no need to panic after sleeping with him.
Dealing with the aftermath of the night was the priority!
Zhan Beijue's genes were too powerful. Six years ago, he had given her a pair of twins in one go. Who knew what would happen six years later?
Her body suddenly felt cool, and as a shadow flickered before her, Zhan Beijue woke up.
He opened his eyes to see himself completely exposed, and Jiang Nanfang, who had wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
He sat up, his expression somber, and looked at Jiang Nanfang: "What are you doing?"
"..."
Jiang Nanfang turned her head away, not looking at him, and tiptoed out, "Let me get dressed first."
Zhan Beijue looked at her embarrassed expression and sneered disdainfully.
"Isn't it like you who was proactive six years ago? The children are already this old, and you're acting shy with me now. Isn't it a bit late?"
"You..."
He rolled out of bed, walked past her towards the bathroom, and as he walked, he spouted his scumbag remarks.
"I, Zhan Beijue, never take advantage of others, but I never suffer losses either. Last night counts as settling the score for six years ago. Now we're even."
"Jiang Nanfang, there's no need to act with me. From now on, you are you, and I am me. If I touch you again, my name isn't Zhan."
His words were truly harsh, but one reaps what one sows.
Who told her that six years ago she was blind and idiotic enough to like him? Serves her right!
The harsher his words are today, the deeper her memory should be!
Jiang Nanfang, if you have even the slightest emotional ripple for this heartless scumbag again, you're a pig!
The door still wouldn't open. How strange.
Jiang Nanfang got dressed and went to the door to try and open it. She tried it repeatedly, and it still wouldn't open even after Zhan Beijue came out of the bathroom after his shower.
Seeing him walk over wrapped in a towel, Jiang Nanfang automatically stepped aside: "The door won't open. Can you come and see if the lock is broken or if someone tampered with it."
Zhan Beijue didn't go over. He turned and sat on the sofa, appearing indifferent: "It's not my fingerprint registered, so it's useless for me to look if you can't open it."
"..."
"If I can't be reached at 7:30, Ah Zhong will definitely come looking for me, and he can solve it then."
"..."
"My phone isn't here. Can I use yours?"
Like a master, he asked to use such a private item as a phone?
"What for?"
"To check the time."
Zhan Beijue touched his wrist, "I don't know where you lost my watch last night."
Speaking of last night, Jiang Nanfang couldn't help but feel her ears get hot, vivid scenes unsuitable for children flashing before her eyes...
She had really made a misstep. She hadn't expected that she and Zhan Beijue would be played by a seemingly dim-witted young girl.
If she could get out today, the first thing she would do is find that girl and make her pay for scheming against her.
Jiang Nanfang searched around and finally found her phone in a corner of the sofa. Looking at the time, it was 7:20 AM.
There was still time, and it was a waste to just sit there in silence, so she spoke.
"Since we've settled our accounts, let's talk about the children now. When do you plan to return them to me?"
"Are the electrical products officially launched?"
"The blueprints have been sent to the mold department."
"Then it's still early. Talk to me after the product is launched."
"...Zhan Beijue..."
"I know you're full of tricks, and when pushed, you can think of ten thousand ways to secretly take them away from Nancheng."
"But Jiang Nanfang, GPS is not a joke. I have tracking chips installed on the children. You can try to steal them if you don't believe me."
Zhan Beijue's guess was accurate. At 7:40, Ah Zhong arrived at Tianfu International on time.
Not only did he bring a lock-picking tool, but he also thoughtfully brought him a set of clothes.
When the door opened, looking at the additional electronic lock on the door, Zhan Beijue and Jiang Nanfang both mentally cursed Zhou Jinbei again.
Seeing his boss locked in with his ex-wife all night, Ah Zhong was shocked but didn't dare to say a word more.
After Zhan Beijue got ready, they went downstairs together. He asked Ah Zhong: "How are Jingrui and Jingge?"
"They've been sent to school."
"Did they make trouble last night?"
"No, they were taken care of by Madam and went to sleep early."
Zhan Beijue was relieved: "Go to the company. Call Zhou Jinxiu and bring Zhou Jinbei with him. Keep the evening free for me."
After Zhan Beijue left, Jiang Nanfang walked around the living room and quickly found the item that had caused her mistake last night under the coffee table.
Putting it in a plastic bag, Jiang Nanfang finally put away her luggage and quickly left.
She ate breakfast first, then found a pharmacy and bought emergency post-coital medication, which she took with water.
The company was urgently preparing various items they needed. Jiang Nanfang went to check, and everything was going smoothly. The team leader, Zhang Jia, said they expected to depart at 3 PM.
That meant she had eight hours from now to settle the score with Zhou Jinbei.
Jiang Nanfang found Deputy General Manager Gao: "Deputy General Manager Gao, I need to ask about someone."
"Who?"
A few minutes later, Jiang Nanfang was in a taxi, calling Zhou Jinxiu.
Deputy General Manager Gao had provided his private number. Generally, if the call goes through, it's to someone he knows well. Zhou Jinxiu answered, "Who is this?"
"Hello, I'm a delivery person. A Ms. Zhou Jinbei has ordered something for you and needs you to sign for it in person. Do you have time now?"
Soon, the delivery arrived outside the door.
Zhou Jinxiu went to the door, and at first glance, he was surprised to see that the delivery person was a woman.
Not only was she a woman, but she was also quite beautiful.
She wore a smoke-grey, long-sleeved, stand-up collar, one-piece jumpsuit, black Martin boots, her hair tied up high, and she wore black sunglasses. She was tall with long legs, and her figure was shapely and graceful, looking like a female special forces member from a movie, spirited and heroic.
He walked over in his slippers, took a look at Jiang Nanfang, and said, "Beautiful, where's my package?"
The taxi was parked dozens of meters behind. Jiang Nanfang pointed at it and said, "Because the item is quite valuable, I left it in the car. Please come with me."
Seeing that she was beautiful and had a pleasant voice, Zhou Jinxiu walked forward a few steps.
Jiang Nanfang took out her bag from the car. To her surprise, the gift was in a transparent plastic bag.
"What is this?" As he saw what was inside, his expression changed.
