196: Chapter 197 An Encounter with Tian Xinwei

Nazha listened to her friends chattering away, their accusations filling the air, yet the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

She nodded repeatedly, obediently agreeing into the phone: "Alright, alright, alright, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'll definitely treat you all when I get back, order whatever you want~ I'll definitely come clean and accept whatever judgment the organization hands down~"

However, her inner calculations were clicking away: Hehe, judgment?

By the time I get back, who knows, maybe the deed will already be done! Let's see what you'll judge then. You'll be dumbfounded by then!

While dealing with her girlfriends on the other end of the line, she was already imagining the envious and jealous expressions on her friends' faces once she had "officially become his girlfriend," and her mood became even more delightful.

Jiang Jing sat to the side, watching with amusement as Nazha's rich facial expressions changed while she was on the phone; it was absolutely spectacular.

The more he watched, the more interesting he found it, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her smooth, delicate cheek.

Mmm, it felt so good, soft and squishy.

Nazha, who had been immersed in her pleasant fantasies, was suddenly ambushed and instinctively cast a coquettish, white-eyed glare at Jiang Jing.

But there wasn't a hint of blame in her eyes; instead, they were watery and filled with obvious coquetry and encouragement.

Jiang Jing received the signal, his smile deepening, and he gave her cheek another gentle pinch.

The "trial" on the other end of the phone continued, while the two on this end had already begun exchanging glances full of affection...

The environment in first class was quiet and comfortable, with enough space between the seats to provide good privacy.

After hanging up, Nazha began excitedly sharing some embarrassing stories and fun anecdotes from her and Leng Ba's middle school days with Jiang Jing.

For example, how they once skipped class to buy snacks and were caught red-handed by a teacher, or how timid Leng Ba was back then, hiding behind her in fear whenever she saw a caterpillar, and so on.

Jiang Jing listened with great interest, a smile remaining on his lips throughout.

As they chatted, Nazha suddenly felt a bit of pressure in her lower abdomen. She smiled embarrassedly and said to Jiang Jing: "Brother Jiang Jing, I'm going to the restroom."

"Mmm, go ahead." Jiang Jing nodded.

Nazha stood up, carefully making her way through the first-class aisle, and headed toward the restroom at the front.

After taking care of business, she felt much lighter. She adjusted her mask and hat in the restroom mirror to ensure her disguise was perfect, then opened the door and walked out.

However, just as she was walking back to her seat with her head down, she almost collided with a slender figure walking toward her.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The other person apologized instinctively, her voice crisp and sweet.

Nazha looked up, just about to say "It's okay," but her gaze froze the moment it touched the other person's face.

Although the other person was also wearing a mask, the iconic pair of large, round eyes that seemed capable of speaking, along with her fair skin and petite figure, allowed Nazha to instantly recognize who it was—Tian Xinwei!

Both were popular young actresses in the entertainment industry; although they weren't close friends, they had met many times at various events and banquets, making them familiar colleagues.

If Nazha's beauty was striking and glamorous, carrying a distinct exotic flair, then Tian Xinwei's beauty was of another extreme.

She was the typical Southern beauty, with a small, delicate face and sweet features. Especially those clear, bright, large eyes that always carried a sense of innocence and naivety when looking at someone, making her a representative of the "pure and seductive" style.

The most memorable moment was at the Tencent Video Starlight Awards, where Tian Xinwei stunned the entire venue in a dress that was bold in design yet retained a sweet charm.

That dress perfectly outlined her incredibly unfair body curves. She looked petite and dainty, but in reality, she possessed astonishing assets—full, perky, and substantial.

They would sway slightly as she walked, and who knows how many men's souls and how much envy, jealousy, and hatred from women she snatched away in that instant!

At the time, the cameras followed her almost the entire time, making it one of the most viral moments of the night.

"Tian..." Nazha almost instinctively called out the other person's name. Although she managed to stop herself in time, a slight sound still escaped.

Tian Xinwei, who was about to go to the restroom, heard this half-uttered sound and paused, turning her head in confusion to look at this woman who was wrapped up even more tightly than herself, with only a pair of eyes visible.

She tried to identify her, but couldn't recognize who it was for a moment, only feeling that these eyes looked somewhat familiar.

Nazha cursed herself for being quick-tongued, but since she had already been noticed, trying to dodge would only make things more suspicious.

She had no choice but to lower her voice and identify herself: "Xinwei, it's me, Nazha."

"Sister Nazha?" Tian Xinwei was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized. The corners of her mouth under her mask seemed to curve up. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you on the plane."

Her gaze instinctively glanced toward the first-class cabin, her tone carrying a bit of polite small talk.

"Yes, what a coincidence." Nazha nodded, just wanting to end this accidental encounter as soon as possible and return to Jiang Jing's side.

Tian Xinwei also seemed to intend to end the conversation and turned to the side to make way.

However, just as the two were about to pass each other, Tian Xinwei seemed to suddenly recall something. She whipped her head back, her beautiful large eyes instantly filled with disbelief and the raging fire of gossip!

She lowered her voice again, asking in almost a whisper: "Wait! Sister Nazha! Are you... are you really on this flight? Then... that... that rumor on Weibo... could it be true?!"

She had clearly also seen the heated trending topics and speculations online!

Nazha's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"

It really is a case of fearing something and having it happen!

She could only bite the bullet and nod helplessly, which counted as an admission.

Denying it now would only make it seem even more fake.

Upon receiving confirmation, Tian Xinwei's eyes widened even further; her soul of gossip was completely ignited!

Although she and Nazha were not close friends, a woman's innate curiosity and instinct for gossip completely took the upper hand!

She excitedly leaned in a small step, her voice lowered even further, filled with disbelief and curiosity: "So... Sister Nazha... you and that President Jiang from Xingchen Technology... are you really... really in... that kind of relationship?"

This question was direct and sharp, like a needle, instantly piercing the calm that Nazha was trying to maintain.

Nazha was choked up instantly; she opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer.

Admit it? It didn't seem like they had reached that stage yet.

Deny it? Then what was that nod just now? Besides, the fact that they were traveling together was true.

She stammered, her eyes darting around. To Tian Xinwei, this appearance was practically a confession without being asked!

Seeing Nazha's reaction, Tian Xinwei basically had a good idea of what was going on, and her curiosity itched unbearably.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly made a request that made Nazha's scalp tingle:

"Um... Sister Nazha," Tian Xinwei's voice carried a hint of coquetry and pleading, "can... can I go over with you... and meet President Jiang?"

"I'll just say hello, really! I really admire him! Just think of it as a fan meeting an idol, okay~"
