Chapter 1100 Thank you
The two women looked at each other through a half-open door. Their smiles and actions seemed to be frozen as Bae Joo-hyun hadn't even finished her words.

Seeing Ming Jingnan suddenly appear in front of her, Bae Joo-hyun was really surprised. She really didn't expect to meet her at this time, and bump into her face to face.

To be honest, Bae Joo-hyun didn't really want to meet her here. When she saw that the time was almost up, she got up and left to avoid meeting Ming Jingnan.

It’s not that I’m afraid of her… It’s not for anything else, it’s just to avoid making things difficult for Chi Jingyuan.

And if she really encountered this situation, she knew that she would not get any good result. After all, she knew Chi Jingyuan very well. The little man usually looked indifferent, but if he really encountered such a situation, no matter what he thought in his heart, he would definitely stand on the side of the real girlfriend.

So if any conflict really happens, she will be very embarrassed.

However, Bae Joo-hyun was not panicked at this time... because she had imagined something similar a long time ago. On the first day when she knew that Ming Jingnan would come to the company to practice with Chi Jingyuan, she thought of this scene.

So she wasn't worried after the initial surprise.

Even... a little bit of excitement.

However, Ming Jingnan was also in a bad mood at this time.

Ever since she officially started collaborating with Chi Jingyuan on "Fireworks", she has been in a particularly good mood.

Apart from the fact that her boyfriend acted rather impatient for some reason on the first day, which made the atmosphere a bit dull and made her a bit uncomfortable, Chi Jingyuan clearly realized her problem afterwards. He was very gentle during every practice session, and while maintaining his emotions, he also constantly pointed out her problems and helped her improve.

And she also made little progress under the guidance of her boyfriend. The days of practicing with Chi Jingyuan in the past few days gave Ming Jingnan an illusion of being in a publicly funded relationship. She felt extremely enjoyable, and some of her previous worries were naturally suppressed in an invisible corner of her heart.

The elevator was crowded today, and her manager was chatting with EXO's manager, so she went up first. She was in a good mood and wanted to take advantage of this time to spend some time with her boyfriend...

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Pei Zhuxuan...

Through various news she heard and her own speculations, Ming Jingnan had actually pieced together the general experience of Bae Joo-hyun, her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, quite completely. Then, considering the information revealed by the words and eyes of the SM brothers and sisters at the last gathering, she even guessed that she might have squeezed in during the gap after Bae Joo-hyun and Ji Kyung-won broke up.

It is even possible that they did not completely break up at the beginning, but were just in a cooling-off period... and she happened to pluck up the courage to take the initiative, which led to her pursuit of Chi Jingyuan and caused their complete separation.

So Bae Joo-hyun is not just a simple ex-girlfriend.

At the same time, Ming Jingnan also realized that Ji Jingyuan had special feelings for his ex-girlfriend Bae Joo-hyun, so she always regarded Bae Joo-hyun as her inner enemy.

Second only to that dead woman Bae Suzy.

He had always been particularly wary of her before. At the end of last year, because he was feeling uncomfortable, he took the initiative to ask Chi Jingyuan for the first time, wanting him to not be so close to Bae Joo-hyun.

At that time, her boyfriend took her feelings into consideration and did the same thing. For the next one or two months, there was no news about Bae Joo-hyun.

Why is it haunting us again now?

Looking at the face of Bae Joo-hyun, which was so close in front of him, so pure and gentle, so beautiful that many men could not take their eyes off it, Ming Jingnan only felt disgust and irritation.

But, it didn't show.

"what happened?"

At this moment, a puzzled voice was heard in the room. Chi Jingyuan saw Pei Zhuxuan suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words and walked over with some surprise.

"Mina xi is here~"

At this time, Bae Joo-hyun also reacted, narrowed her eyes, skipped the unfinished words, made way, and greeted Jing Nan, who had the same name, with a smile: "We were just talking about you, come in quickly."

As Bae Joo Hyun made way, Ji Jingyuan immediately saw Ming Jingnan outside the door. His pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately knew why Bae Joo Hyun stopped.

...How did we bump into each other here?

"Xonan?"

Although he was very surprised, Chi Jingyuan did not feel nervous. He walked over and stretched out his hand: "...Why are you the only one here?"

"Unnie, you're here too?"

After a brief pause, Ming Jingnan smiled faintly, nodded to Bae Joo Hyun, and then took Chi Jingyuan's hand and explained, "I'll come up first. My manager Oppa and the others are in the next elevator behind us, so they should be here soon."

After entering the music room, Ming Jingnan glanced around and immediately saw two half-drunk drinks on the coffee table in the middle. Thinking of the scene where Bae Joo-hyun was with her boyfriend just now, her hands unconsciously tightened slightly.

Looking at Ming Jingnan who walked in, Bae Joo-hyun, who had left early because she didn't want to meet her, was not in a hurry to leave and followed her in.

"...I heard from Jingyuan that you guys have been practicing the Japanese song you collaborated on recently. I listened to that song, too. It's absolutely excellent..."

Bae Joo-hyun did not follow him. She glanced at the two cups on the table and walked to the water dispenser next to her with an unchanged expression. She picked up a disposable cup from the cabinet next to her with ease and drank the drink while speaking with an envious tone.

Obviously, the last time they met in the coffee shop on the first floor, the two of them still looked very hostile, but now it seemed that nothing was going on at all.

However, the surrounding atmosphere was completely opposite to the gentle tone.

After receiving the drink, Pei Zhuxuan walked to the side with her little butt and handed the cup to Mingjingnan with a smile:
"Yes, it's a really excellent song... He rarely writes songs for others."

Ming Jingnan looked at the cup handed to him, raised his eyes and stared at Bae Joo-hyun in front of him.

Regardless of her welcoming tone and familiar movements, this woman made it seem like this was her own home.

But...she was able to find the cup directly.

Moreover, the water dispenser in Chi Jingyuan's music room is a relatively high-end model. It can accept mineral water, beverages, and coffee. The several touch buttons are not clearly labeled, and it was difficult to tell them apart when I operated them for the first time.

This was what Ming Jingnan did when she used it for the first time a few days ago...and it was Chi Jingyuan who taught her how to do it.

...Many things don't need to be said out loud. Some small details are enough to convey the information you want to tell the other person.

“…Thank you, unnie.”

Ming Jingnan looked at Bae Joo-hyun, paused for a second, and then a faint smile appeared on his face. He did not refuse, but stretched out his hand to take the drink handed to him by the other party.

But he didn't drink it. After taking it, he put it directly on the coffee table. At the same time, he leaned against Chi Jingyuan and didn't intend to continue talking. He just leaned there.

Bae Joo-hyun glanced at the cup on the coffee table, and a subtle emotion flashed in her eyes.

It was less than two minutes after the two met, and they only exchanged a few simple words, and there was no question of who had the upper hand.

However, she had successfully told the other party some of the things she wanted him to know.

...Bae Joo-hyun, who knows Ji Jingyuan's character very well, knows very well that a real girlfriend is a real girlfriend. As long as Ji Jingyuan has no other ideas, no matter how much she does alone, it will be useless.

Therefore, the opponent needs to... make mistakes himself.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Come on, Fighting!"

Bae Joo-hyun smoothed her hair, smiled at the two of them, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

She had no intention of staying here. Bae Joo-hyun knew that if she tried to continue talking, Chi Jingyuan would probably speak.

The most important thing is... even if you have a smile on your face or even a hint of provocation, even if you pretend that you don't care about anything.

But Bae Joo-hyun still couldn't deceive herself... She looked at Ming Jingnan holding Chi Jingyuan's hand and leaning next to him, and she felt very uncomfortable. An unknown fire quickly rose in her heart, and she was irritable and full of aggression.

"Ernie."

Just as Bae Joo-hyun turned to leave and was about to reach the door as before, Ming Jingnan behind her suddenly spoke up and called her to stop.

"Hmm?" Bae Joo-hyun stopped and turned around, looking at the other person curiously.

"Unnie, today is your birthday, right? Our birthdays are so close."

Mingjing Nan smiled softly, her deep eyes were as black as ink, she looked at Pei Zhuxuan and said softly: "Happy birthday, unnie."

Looking into her eyes, Pei Zhuxuan also smiled, her eyes curved into a crescent, and nodded:
"Thank you."

…………

After Bae Joo-hyun left, Ji Jingyuan glanced at Ming Jingnan who was leaning on him, patted her shoulder gently, then stood up and took away the two empty cups and a cup that had just been filled with a drink on the coffee table.

Of course he could see the subtle interaction between the two, which seemed kind but was actually quite angry... It was strange that the ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend could get along harmoniously. He knew that if it wasn't in front of him, Bae Joo-hyun and Mingjing Nan would probably have a falling out.

It was almost there last time.

Although his behavior may not be appropriate in private, when faced with such occasions, Chi Jingyuan's position is very firm. No matter what, he will stand on the side of his girlfriend at this time.

But Bae Joo-hyun seemed to understand him very well, and she accurately pinpointed the point of dissatisfaction in his heart, and left directly after just a brief taste.

But she had already achieved her goal in just a few words.

...Or in fact, Bae Joo-hyun didn't need to say anything at all. She was bumped into by Ming Jingnan when she was leaving, and her silence was more powerful than words.

Although Ming Jingnan was leaning quietly beside him at this time, he still looked gentle, docile and calm, as if he was not affected by what had just happened at all.

But Chi Jingyuan certainly knew that his girlfriend must be feeling uncomfortable... The fact that she was so calm around him was a problem in itself.

As he put away the drink that Ming Jingnan would definitely not drink, he explained, "...Today is Irene's birthday. She asked me a few days ago to have a dinner together to celebrate."

"But the main reason is not her birthday. She called me mainly to ease the relationship between me and... Seungwan."

"Ok?"

Ming Jingnan, who was still secretly depressed, paused for a moment after hearing what he said, and looked over curiously, his attention being distracted to Chi Jingyuan's words.

"What happened between you and Wendy Xi?"

She had never heard Chi Jingyuan talk about this.

"…Before that, there was a little conflict."

Chi Jingyuan stopped there without giving a detailed explanation. 91 Sun was just a prop to change the subject... Although the subject was changed, it also successfully aroused Ming Jingnan's interest, and he continued to ask: "What's the contradiction?"

...But it might also be that she was dissatisfied, because usually when she saw Chi Jingyuan didn't want to say anything, she would not ask again.

"Forehead……"

Seeing his girlfriend's look of wanting to get to the bottom of things, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but be speechless.

He didn't talk about it because it was hard to explain the whole story.

...What conflict? Because she couldn't stand the fact that I cheated on her good friend Joohyun, so after we broke up, she chose to stand on Bae Joohyun's side, picking on me, leaving their 94line and choosing to be friends with Bae Joohyun, so I simply ignored him.

The cause of the conflict is simple to explain, and the logic is clear, and it is easy to see who is the good guy and who is the bad guy at a glance...but how could Chi Jingyuan say that directly?

"Um……"

He hesitated for a moment, quickly organized his words in his mind, sighed softly, shook his head and said: "She... betrayed my trust."

"..."

Ming Jingnan looked at Chi Jingyuan's pretended disappointed expression and blinked slightly, not knowing whether he began to doubt Chi Jingyuan's deliberately vague narrative.

However, a few seconds later, when Chi Jingyuan wanted to continue to make excuses, she suddenly laughed and pulled Chi Jingyuan's hand: "Then let's calm down. Isn't it better for good friends to talk it out..."

"I think Gen-chan isn't angry anymore..."

As she spoke, she leaned on Chi Jingyuan's shoulder again, smelling his scent and giving him advice.

Her smile was bright and warm, as if her attention had really been diverted to this matter, and what had just happened had been forgotten.

…………

In Twice's dormitory.

Sana Minatozaki looked at Nana Naito who was sitting on the bed in a daze, frowned, and walked towards this side.

After returning to the dormitory from Mingjingnan, she felt that this little sister was not in a very good spirit, had little energy, and was in a daze from time to time.

At that time, Minatozaki Sana just thought that it was because she had practiced at SM for an afternoon and was a little tired from singing, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was just after dinner, after such a long time, she glanced casually and saw Ming Jingnan sitting on his little bed, distracted, as if he was thinking about something.

Minatozaki Sana, who knew her, immediately realized what had happened, and hurried over and asked with concern.

"Mina-chan, what's wrong with you?"
