ad to have a meal with Ye Tiansouth made him less enthusiastic.“Okay then, let’s make that our plan,” said Ye Mengying happily. "Oh right, why did you come here to rent a writing room Are you planning...Chapter 1102: Looking for Other Beauties

"Husband, I don't plan on returning to the capital city." Ning Jie softly replied, "I also don’t want to go to Jianghai City. Although you might prefer it there, I'm not very accustomed to that place."

The capital city didn’t hold many pleasant memories for Ning Jie. Although she met Xia Tian there, her true transformation didn't take place in the capital but here, where she truly became a woman of summer.

As for Jianghai City, it held even less attraction to Ning Jie. Though she had visited Jianghai City before, she was completely unfamiliar with it and couldn’t find any sense of belonging there.

More importantly, Ning Jie knew herself quite well. She realized that among all the women Xia Tian had, she might be considered the least beautiful one and also the most ordinary in background. She understood clearly that her relationship with him only developed out of necessity. Therefore, she was very aware that compared to his other women, she didn’t have any advantages at all.

In the capital city, Xia Tian had those four famous beauties waiting for him, and in Jianghai City, he had Qiao Xiaoqiao and Leng Bingbing among others. If she were to go to either of these places, she might feel forgotten by Xia Tian, so she truly didn’t want to go there.

"Selfish wife, where do you want to go then" Xia Tian was a bit puzzled, "You wouldn't be planning on staying here, would you"

Ning Jie nodded her head. "Husband, I really plan to live here now. From now on, this place will be my true home."

After pausing for a moment, Ning Jie added, "By the way, husband, I called Zhang Dan yesterday and she is still in Wanghai City too. She said that she intends to develop her career here from now on. We have an appointment today as well; it will be good having both of us around each other for mutual support."

Although she was forced to come here, Ning Jie now had a sense of belonging and even got used to the life here. Her best friend, Zhang Dan, also lived here, which made her want to stay longer.

"You really plan to live here" Xia Tian was surprised; he didn't expect that Ning Jie would decide to settle in Lookout Harbor. He wasn't particularly attached to this place, but it wasn't too unpleasant now either. However, compared to Jianghai City or Beijing, even Mu Yang County, he still preferred those places.

"Honey, don't worry about me. I don't need you to stay here with me; we can visit each other occasionally. All I want is for this place to be my main base for life and work." Ning Jie continued. She had thought it through clearly that Xia Tian wouldn’t always accompany her, so she needed a job herself or else the days would become unbearable.

"Alright then, you can stay here temporarily if you want. Anyway, I haven't even finished building my house in Jianghai City yet. Once that's done, you can move there." Xia Tian thought about it and finally agreed. He then said, "Stingy wife, after this trip, I probably won't come back for a while. How about I stay with you for a few days first On the last day of the lunar year, I'll rush home."

"Okay." Ning Jie agreed and picked up her phone to check the time, then softly called out, "Oh dear, it's past nine already. Honey, I need to get up now; Zhang Dan should be arriving soon."

The saying 'mentioning Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears' proved true as Ning Jie’s phone rang right after she spoke those words. On the other end was Zhang Dan.

"Hello, Zhang Dan, are you here" Ning Jie quickly answered the call.

"Yes, I'm at the main entrance of Snow Fragrance Lake No. 1. The security guards won't let me in; can you come pick me up" Zhang Dan's voice came from the other end.

"Sure, I'll be right there. Wait for a moment." Ning Jie hung up and jumped out of bed immediately to get dressed quickly before rushing down the stairs.

Seeing Ning Jie had already gotten up, Xia Tian naturally felt that staying in bed was pointless. He quickly got dressed and went downstairs to wash his face and brush his teeth. By the time he finished these tasks, Ning Jie came back in with Zhang Dan.

"Wow, Ning Jie, your life is really great now! This villa must be worth tens of millions, right" Zhang Dan exclaimed dramatically.

"It's a gift from others. I doubt it’s that valuable," Ning Jie casually replied.

"Xia Tian, it really is you I told you guys definitely had something going on before, and you wouldn’t admit it! Now that you’re living together, there’s no point in denying it anymore!" Zhang Dan saw Xia Tian and started to shout again.

"Zhang Dan, don't be so surprised. Didn't I tell you last night I'm with my husband," Ning Jie said somewhat helplessly.

"But you didn’t clarify that last night. Although I’ve suspected it was the two of you all along, I never had proof! Now we’re certain!" Zhang Dan said loudly and then tugged on a man beside her, "Hey, Chu Fan, this is Xia Tian. He’s the real miracle doctor. Ning Jie's figure now is better than models’, and she looks prettier than those actresses—all thanks to this great doctor!"

Zhang Dan hadn’t come alone; she was accompanied by Chu Fan. However, Chu Fan seemed a bit reserved and uncomfortable.

"Hello, Doctor Xia, sorry for the disturbance," Chu Fan greeted Xia Tian politely.

"Chu Fan, there’s no need to be so formal, you’re all my classmates. Zhang Dan is also one of my best friends. Just make yourselves at home," Ning Jie replied.

"Wife, what would you like to eat I'll go buy your breakfast."

"Ah You haven't had breakfast yet" Zhang Dan was a little taken aback.

"We just got up." Ning Jie's pretty face turned slightly red; she hadn't only skipped breakfast, but also hadn't washed her face or brushed her teeth yet.

After a moment of hesitation, Ning Jie said to Xia Tian, "Husband, could you buy me a serving of rice noodle soup"

"Sure, I'll be right back." After saying that, Xia Tian left the house.

"Zhang Dan, Chu Fan, please sit for a moment. I'm going to wash my face first," Ning Jie said somewhat shyly before getting up and heading into the bathroom.

Zhang Dan started touring around in this villa, looking here and there, muttering with admiration, "Luxurious, really luxurious. Being good-looking does have its advantages. Ning Jie is living a truly comfortable life now. She's become wealthy so quickly."

"Sorry, Zhang Dan, I..." Chu Fan seemed somewhat embarrassed next to her.

"Why are you saying sorry to me" Zhang Dan was slightly taken aback.

"Dan, even though my salary is quite good now, I know that I can't provide you with this kind of lifestyle..." Chu Fan said softly.

Zhang Dan didn't wait for him to finish and rolled her eyes: "Are you crazy When did I say I wanted such a life I'm not one of those women who have to keep up with others. I was just envious of Ning Jie."

"You, you really don't want this kind of life" Chu Fan felt slightly relieved.

"Not that I don't want it either, but such things can't be forced. Do you understand To put it simply, having a house and car makes me content already. Of course, if there could be an even better life, then naturally that would be better, but lacking them doesn't mean we can't live well. Understand" Zhang Dan rolled her eyes at Chu Fan again, but followed up with a giggling smile, "Actually, if I really wanted to live in the villa, I'd just move here to stay with Ning Jie; she definitely wouldn’t kick me out."

"Dan, if you truly want to live here, there's no problem," Ning Jie had just finished washing her face and came out of the bathroom to add in: "My husband will leave soon and won't be back for a while. While he's away, you're welcome to stay with me. However, you'll need Chu Fan’s agreement too; leaving him at home alone isn’t very considerate."

"What's wrong with that I'd rather live together with you!" Zhang Dan said dismissively and then suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Ning Jie, you really have turned bad since getting a boyfriend. I know what you're thinking; let me tell you, don't get the wrong idea! Right now, Chu Fan and I are just roommates—definitely not cohabitating—I'm still evaluating him!"

"Still evaluating" Ning Jie was surprised: "You've been together for so long already."

"Who am I fooling You both were sleeping in the same bed last night," a sentence suddenly popped out, instantly making Zhang Dan blush and Chu Fan somewhat awkward.

"Great, Dan, you actually deceived me!" Ning Jie also appeared slightly unhappy.

Zhang Dan stared blankly at Xia Tian who had just appeared and said, "T-That, Xia Tian, h-how did you know"

"Because I know everything," Xia Tian replied lazily before ignoring Zhang Dan again. He called out to Ning Jie instead, "Wife, come have breakfast!"

This late morning breakfast made Zhang Dan realize that Xia Tian was a complete foodie. This person really needed to earn money well; otherwise, with this kind of eating habit, it would be hard for him to even support himself, let alone others. The cost of just this meal had to be at least a few hundred yuan.

"Wife, I’m going out for a bit and will come back later. You two have fun," Xia Tian said after finishing breakfast before quickly leaving the house.

"Uh, Ning Jie, doesn’t it seem like Xia Tian isn’t very welcoming to us" Zhang Dan finally felt something was off.

"Zhang Dan, don't misunderstand. He's just like that; he doesn't really like interacting with others," Ning Jie explained before adding helplessly, "He only shows interest in beautiful women and nothing else."

"I see." Zhang Dan started to understand a bit as he muttered, "Hey Ning Jie, you have to keep an eye on him. Is he looking for another woman again"

"I don’t know either, but Zhang Dan, just leave him alone," Ning Jie also wasn't sure what Xia Tian was up to.

"Okay then, I won't talk about it." Zhang Dan was merely curious. After all, he had been a gossip journalist before; how could he not be interested in such thingshout a doubt, Avril was somewhat tempted, but she knew all too well what that process entailed. Isabella had told her everything without any concealment, which made Avril realize that if she really le...
