Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance

Greatness requires no words.

"Not looking for her is just temporary," Jiang Nian said, "During the summer vacation, Cai Xiaoqing will come over."

Hearing this, it wasn’t just Zhang Ningzhi. Even Yao Beibei turned her head, looking at Jiang Nian with a face full of surprise.

"As a secretary?"

"Yes, an intern secretary." Jiang Nian nodded, the era of hiding was over, and he was being forthright.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi glanced at him. But it wasn’t because of Cai Xiaoqing, after all, there’s also the class monitor behind her.

Anything involving women, she subconsciously wanted to ask about.

"Why?"

"Because you just rejected me," Jiang Nian spread his hands, "Someone has to help me, right?"

"You!!!"

"Or, you could let Yao Beibei come as an intern," Jiang Nian said, "As long as you agree, I have no problem."

"No way!!" Zhang Ningzhi refused outright.

"I’m not coming, find someone else," Yao Beibei shook her head, "We’re getting busy over there during the summer."

Jiang Nian laughed.

This was the desired effect, but Cai Xiaoqing is much more capable than them, truly the best choice.

....

In the afternoon, naturally, it was all about eating and strolling around.

The two girls were shouting and laughing, which livened up the atmosphere. Jiang Nian accompanied them all the way, and he didn’t feel too tired.

"What are you holding?"

"Squid skewers."

"Isn’t that unhealthy?" Yao Beibei hesitated, but couldn’t resist the aroma. "Where did you buy it? I’ll get some too."

"Over there." Jiang Nian pointed to a stand.

Zhang Ningzhi didn’t eat, she didn’t like these things. Watching Yao Beibei leave, she suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Nian.

"Where are we staying tonight?"

"Anywhere."

"Hmm???" She looked at Jiang Nian with a confused face, "Anywhere, so what does that mean?"

"Wherever."

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, thinking to herself how annoying it was. He was doing it on purpose, just wouldn’t let it go unless she said it first.

Back then, it was the same.

Even begging wouldn’t work; he would stop or start only after being called ’brother’ or something else.

Annoying! Annoying!!

Jiang Nian looked at her leisurely, smiling. He wasn’t in a rush at all, thinking to himself how fun it was to tease Zhizhi.

Zhizhi puffed up her cheeks, turning her head away.

Night fell.

The three of them had a meal together and talked about some studio stuff. Yao Beibei was full of energy, really intending to put in some effort.

Zhang Ningzhi was also quite serious, but her mind soon wandered.

Because, as evening approached.

Where to stay?

After the meal, they headed back to the apartment.

Yao Beibei wasn’t bothered since they stayed in the apartment last time too. If they stayed in a hotel, she’d be alone.

Zhang Ningzhi seemed a bit down.

Jiang Nian found it amusing and deliberately took the opportunity to pat the young girl’s shoulder, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing," she said softly.

"Not happy?"

"Nope."

"Your mouth’s so pouty, and you say you’re not?" Jiang Nian pinched her lips, like squeezing a plump duck.

"Hey, stop pinching."

Upstairs in the attic, Yao Beibei paused while making the bed, a pang of anxiety hitting her upon hearing the noises downstairs.

No way?

This hasn’t even reached the point of bathed and lights out, and they can’t hold it in? What’s going to happen tonight, maybe I should empty my bladder first.

Hmm, better not go down.

Just pretend nothing’s happening and ignore whatever’s going on down there. As long as my heart’s calm, I can slowly fall asleep.

...seems not.

When houses are stacked, there’s still a wall separating them. It’s already hard to sleep, let alone in this loft.

Air wall?

Downstairs, Jiang Nian let go of her hand.

"Did you forget, we have to go to the site tomorrow? Do you want to sleep in and make Yao Beibei go alone?"

"I will get up!" Zhang Ningzhi said defiantly, eyes narrowing cat-like, showing her annoyance.

"Haha."

Actually, Zhang Ningzhi felt a bit guilty. The problem wasn’t waking up, it was nearly staying up all night.

Though it started in the latter half of the night, every time she recovered, it took ages before starting again.

In short, she was utterly exhausted.

"So....."

Zhang Ningzhi knew Jiang Nian was right, but she puffed her cheeks and said, "So this time, is it just going to stay like this?"

Jiang Nian thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Until the last day."

"Even if you’re tired, you can sleep in the car. We’ll wake you at the airport, catch the flight, and continue sleeping."

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, nodding in agreement.

"Oh."

Jiang Nian went to shower, the loft was small, the bathroom not much larger, so after he was done it didn’t take long for him to free it up.

Zhang Ningzhi sat alone on the sofa, absent-mindedly scrolling through her phone.

It’s such a hassle.

It’s not just about the accommodation, all sorts of things. Basically, if you want that sort of thing, you can only choose one or the other.

If you want to sleep, you can’t have fun.

Very vexing.

....

Meanwhile, at Beijing Institute of Technology.

Wang Yuhe and Chen Yunyun were strolling arm in arm on the sports field, behind them the building was ablaze with lights.

The grass on the field was real and stepping on it was normally prohibited, because it served as a professional soccer game pitch.

You could watch China’s League Two and Three games on campus.

Alas, they weren’t interested.

"Their company’s shooting a commercial tomorrow," Wang Yuhe said, "Such a pity, can’t go have a peek."

"Plane tickets are too expensive," Chen Yunyun replied.

"True."

Wang Yuhe wasn’t truly childish; she could distinguish what’s cost-effective and what’s worth it.

"We could ask him to take some videos, surely they’re hiring celebrities for the commercial shoot."

"Hmm, maybe." Chen Yunyun tightened her brows, whenever anything concerned Jiang Nian, she always did.

A faint anxiety kept churning in her heart.

In class horizontally compared, she was doing pretty well, but compared to her peers, she fell behind.

Not comparable to the class president, and no match for Zhang Ningzhi and the others either.

"Yunyun, what’s up?"

"Nothing."

"Oh." Wang Yuhe couldn’t fathom Chen Yunyun’s thoughts, could only vaguely guess a bit.

"I heard..."

"When friends get wealthy, they drift from old friends." She pursed her lips, cautiously started off.

"Hmm?" Chen Yunyun turned her head.

"Isn’t it?"

"This...." Chen Yunyun was taken aback, hesitated slightly, "He probably wouldn’t."

Even she didn’t know why she said that, it was just intuition, or maybe trust.

Saying it out loud, the silence set in again.

"So what do you think?" Chen Yunyun turned to look at Wang Yuhe, "What’s your view?"

"Me?"

Wang Yuhe, baffled, "It felt like something I said last time scared him, he’s a bit afraid of you."

"Why be afraid of me?" Chen Yunyun was surprised.

"No idea." Wang Yuhe frowned, "He only wants to hang out with me, but he cares a lot about you, Yunyun."

At these words, Chen Yunyun’s face turned red.

"How could that be."

In the dead of night, Jiang Nian lay on the sofa, scrolling through his phone, while upstairs the two women were fast asleep.

Zhizhi was tough with her words but weak physically.

Honestly speaking, Jiang Nian would prefer a three-on-one, but it must be done gradually, quick fixes lead to endless trouble.

Especially for him, in his case.

Hmm...

Buzz!

A text popped up on his phone, he opened it to see it was from Chen Yunyun, which surprised him a little.

"Are you asleep?"

"No."

"No, is work going smoothly?" Chen Yunyun was always reserved, so she’d rarely say anything too suggestive.

In contrast, it made her seem "uninteresting."

But, Jiang Nian didn’t see it that way; they got in touch more or less every day.

"It’s going well, you should come over for the summer."

On weekends, it was hard to persuade her. He probably knew why, Chen Yunyun didn’t want to use his money.

Even if, to Jiang Nian, it wasn’t much money.

"Hmm."

"Are you free next weekend?" Jiang Nian typed, the screen’s light reflecting on his face, "Want to catch a movie?"

"Last month, I actually wanted to ask you out."

"I know, you’re busy with work." Chen Yunyun replied, agreeing to Jiang Nian’s invitation.

"Not exactly."

Jiang Nian replied again, furrowing his brow, mulling it over for a while before saying, "For other reasons."

"Why?"

"Next time you go to a movie don’t bring Wang Yuhe, and I’ll tell you."
