Chapter 188

I know you’re having an affair with Xu Yina.”

“Can you be a little clearer?” Han An said. “Stop saying that I’m having an affair with her. If you keep saying it like this, I’m starting to doubt that I’ll believe it myself.”

“You dare to do it but not admit it, right?”

“If I did it, I would definitely admit it.”

“Then what is this?”

As she spoke, Bai Qin took out the copper coins she had found at Xu Yina’s place last night from her pocket.

Upon seeing the copper coin, Han An frowned and asked, “Is it the one you gave me?”

“Yes,” Bai Qin said, “When we first met, I was thinking about what to give you, brother-in-law. After thinking it over, I decided to give you the copper coins my mother gave me as a gift. My sister was there too, and she said that it was part of my dowry and that I should give it to you when I got married. You said you would keep it safe, but I found it in Xu Yina’s room.”

“How is that possible?”

“Brother-in-law, do you think they’re not the same one?”

After being asked this question by Bai Qin, Han An hurriedly took out his wallet.

He placed the copper coin in a hidden compartment of his wallet.

Because it hadn’t been touched, Han An had actually forgotten about the existence of that copper coin.

Han An reached into the interlayer and groped around, but he couldn’t find the copper coin.

This means that the one in Bai Qin’s hand is it.

That’s strange.

How did it end up with Xu Yina?

After thinking it over, the only possibility Han An could think of was that when he was taking out his wallet from Xu Yina, the copper coin had accidentally fallen out without him noticing.

After stuffing the wallet into his pocket, Han An said, “It should be the same one.”

“I know.”

“I don’t know why it’s with Xu Yina.”

So you’re the kind of person who dares to do something but not admit it!

“Of course I won’t admit to something I didn’t do,” Han An said. “Why don’t you call Xu Yina and ask her what happened with that copper coin?”

“Do you know that Xu Yina is already divorced?”

“I have never interfered in my employees’ private lives.”

“So you don’t know?”

“Of course I don’t know, she never told me.”

“I found the divorce certificate at her place.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“I checked the divorce date,” Bai Qin continued after putting away the copper coins. “The divorce date was October 8th, which was a week ago. But strangely, last Wednesday night, I heard Xu Yina moaning in bed. The next day, I asked her about it, and she said she was making love with her husband. She was already divorced before that, but she said she was making love with her husband. Isn’t that ridiculous? And she kept pretending that she wasn’t divorced, saying that her husband often stayed overnight at the studio, so it was hard for me to run into him. Brother-in-law, I think the husband she’s talking about is you!”

“You’re really crazy,” Han An said, exasperated. “No woman wants people to know she’s just divorced. It only lowers her self-worth and makes people around her speculate. So it’s not strange that Xu Yina did this. As for you saying someone was having an affair with her, it wasn’t me. Besides, sexual openness is increasing these days. What’s so strange about finding a man to live with immediately after a divorce? Xiaoqin, I really think you’re overthinking it.”

“And what about the copper coins?”

“I don’t know what happened, you should call her and ask her yourself!”

“Brother-in-law, you and Xu Yina really aren’t having an affair?”

“Your sister is much prettier than her, why would I want to date her?”

“You and my sister have been together for four years, don’t you feel tired of the relationship?”

“Then call your sister and ask her if I was very engaged when we were doing it.”

“This…this kind of thing…”

“You’re really giving me pause,” Han An said as he walked up to Bai Qin. “Call Xu Yina and ask her about that copper coin. As for which man she’s with now, you can ask her if you want. Anyway, my relationship with her is innocent, so I have a clear conscience. Honestly, if I had to choose between you and her, I would definitely choose you. She’s been married and isn’t a completely clean woman anymore. Do you think I would get involved with a woman like that?”

“Then I’ll call and ask.”

“Go ahead and fight.”

In front of Han An, Bai Qin took out her phone and called Xu Yina.

After the call connected, Bai Qin asked, “Sister Yina, where are you now?”

“I’m on my way to Han’s Restaurant, what’s wrong?”

Did my brother-in-law give you anything?

No!

“real?”

“Why would the boss possibly give me something?”

“That’s strange.”

“By the way, Xiaoqin, have you seen the copper coin under my bed? I suddenly couldn’t find it this morning.”

Where did that copper coin come from?

“I found it in Han Ji’s lounge,” Xu Yina said. “I heard that putting copper coins under the bed can bring good fortune, so I put that copper coin under the bed. When I was sweeping the floor this morning, I wanted to check the copper coin, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I thought if the copper coin was taken by a mouse, then I would have to buy a mousetrap. Of course, if you took it, you can just give it back to me.”

“That’s for my brother-in-law.”

“No…no way?!”

“Yes,” Bai Qin asked, “Since it was found at Han’s restaurant, why didn’t you ask who lost it?”

“I didn’t say anything because I thought the coin wasn’t worth much. Xiaoqin, I’m so sorry, I really didn’t know that the coin was a gift from you to the shopkeeper. Could you please return the coin to him and say that you found it at Han’s restaurant? He’ll definitely be angry if he finds out that I took it.”

“Alright.”

“Thanks.”

“We’re all colleagues, there’s no need to say thank you.”

“By the way, Xiaoqin, my husband will be home tonight. Shall the three of us have a drink together?”

“I haven’t seen your husband lately, Sister Yina. I thought you didn’t have a husband!”

“Actually, he’s not my husband, just my boyfriend.”

“Sister Yina, didn’t you get married?”

“She’s already divorced, and she found another boyfriend.”

“Then let’s meet tonight.”

Are you in the store right now?

“I’m also on my way to Han Ji’s.”

“Let’s talk when we meet. I don’t like making phone calls while I’m on the go.”

“Okay, see you later.”

“Um.”

After hanging up, Bai Qin said, “She found it in the lounge.”

“I guess I fell to the ground while I was lying down to rest.”

“Something just feels off.”

“You are better than her,” Han An said. “Since I rejected even you, there’s no way I could have anything to do with her. Besides, I’ve told myself that I will never look for someone else until I find out if your sister is cheating on me. Anyway, I don’t blame you for this, since the copper coin you gave me mysteriously ended up at Xu Yina’s place.”

She said her boyfriend would be home that night.

“I told you she must have found someone after her divorce, after all, she’s not bad.”

“Okay, I guess I was overthinking it.”

Seeing the smile on Bai Qin’s face, Han An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After smiling, Han An asked, “Shall I take you to Han’s Restaurant?”

“Um.”

“My car is over there.”

After they both got into the car, Han Ji immediately drove off in Han Ji’s direction.

Actually, when Han An got off the bus earlier, he called Xu Yina and put his phone on speakerphone.

Therefore, Xu Yina on the other end of the phone heard his conversation with Bai Qin very clearly.

This is the fundamental reason why Xu Yina was able to deal with Bai Qin with ease.

Han An was a little puzzled as to which man Xu Yina was going to bring to meet Bai Qin tonight.

Xu Yina couldn’t possibly call her ex-husband, could she?
