Chapter 565 Enough Instant Noodles At Home
When John passed through the corridor with Nina in his arms, he touched her exposed waist and
patted to draw her attention.
"Why are you dressing like this?"
"Doesn''t every girl dress like this when they go to the nightclub? And I''m wearing trousers anyway, not
a skirt." After staying in John''s arms for a while, Nina regained some strength and rubbed her face
against his neck.
"Nonsense." He patted her on the waist again, trying to pull the top down to cover her exposed skin,
but it was a futile attempt.
Setting her down, he then tied his coat around her waist. She obediently stretched her arms out and let
him finish tying it before picking her up again.
As soon as they got in really close, something seemed to poke her. After rummaging through his
clothes, she pulled out the marriage certificate and his phone.
Nina put the certificate back in his pocket and looked at the phone. It was locked but there had been
several missed calls.
Except for her attempts, they were all from Noah.
"You muted it. No wonder I couldn''t get through to you. Noah also called you several times." With her
chin on John''s shoulder, she crossed her arms around his neck to y with his phone.
Without seeing his phone, he just said, "Call him back."
"Okay, but I can''t talk to him." She dialed Noah''s number, pressed the phone to John''s ear, and
pressed her head to it as well.
The call was answered almost immediately.
"Are you okay? Did Tim do anything to you?"
"No."
"That''s good. He won''t be protecting Vivian anymore."
John wondered about Tim''s sudden change and could guess the reason.
"What did you say to him?"
"I found out his real identity. He used to be a mercenary. He changed his name to avoid being tracked
by his organization. Heter worked for a gang leader in D City. Something happened and he came to
Lexingport City to hide.
Tim and you have to leave each other alone now. I''ll investigate my father''s whereabouts secretly and
by myself. You don''t have to strike any deals with Vivian, okay? I''ve got this.
Tell Henry to not let the Ye family fall into Vivian''s hands. Ask him to not treat her as family. The Ye
family can''t affiliate themselves with gangsters anymore."
"Okay," John agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Nina inquired, "Don''t get involved with gangsters anymore? Were they
once involved with gangsters? Noah''s grandfather was a soldier. Noah''s father started doing business
and established the Ye Group.
Noah''s grandfather has two sons who don''t get along well with each other.
Does this have anything to do with his uncle?"
"I''m not sure." In John''s opinion, this might have something to do with Howard.
Henry said that Vivian had something on Howard. John thought it might have something to do with this.
That was why Howard was willing to give up the shares and be locked up. He called for help and asked
Henry to keep it quiet.
Vivian probably had something on him that could have ruined his reputation or his family''s.
John patted Nina on the waist and said, "Stop worrying. Noah will get to the bottom of it."
"Noah is quite incredible. I''m sure he can handle it." Nina seemed to be confident in his abilities.
John stopped in his tracks. He hated it when she praised other men, especially Noah.
"John, you smell so good." Nina didn''t notice John''s sour mood and held his neck tighter.
They hadn''t seen each other for half a month. John smelt good to her even though the smell of smoke
and alcohol still clung to him.
Her words instantly calmed him down.
Holding her in his arms, John passed through the noisy hall. "Mr. Shi," Amy called out, instantly making
Nina tense up.
She reached up and realized that her mask and hat were not there anymore.
She hurriedly covered her face with her hair and buried her head in his neck. "Except you, I don''t want
anyone to know that I''m in Lexingport City. I''m scared that if any newses out, my mother will be
angry."
"Keep quiet," John urged, touching Nina''s head.
Nina fell silent.
Sitting next to the bar counter, Amy and Richard saw John holding a woman in his arms, rendering
them speechless.
John walked over as if nothing had happened. He didn''t see Adrian, so he nced at the dance floor.
He was indeed there.
"Call Henry and drag Adrian out of here," he ordered.
Richard immediately went to do as he was ordered.
Amy kept ncing at the woman with John. After a while, she said, "Okay."
Without too much fuss, Richard managed to bring the half drunk and half-conscious Adrian over.
Confused, Amy asked, "How is he so obedient in his state?"
Richard answered, "Oh, I told him that Henry was angry and was waiting for him outside."
Amy,
John,
and Nina were rendered speechless.
In the distance, a Lamborghini dashed towards them. When Henry hurriedly opened the door and got
out, he saw the drunk man struggling to even stand. He rushed over to help him up.

Before he could say anything, Adrian apologized. "I''m sorry. I won''t get drunk at a ce like this ever
again."
"Bah! You always say that." All Henry could do was smile and help him up again. "It doesn''t matter. We
have enough instant noodles at home."
Nina suddenly raised her head and quickly tucked it back down,ughing.
Her chuckle attracted everyone''s attention. ''Is she going to get found out?'' John wondered.
Henry didn''t even notice that she was there until he heard the giggle. He was surprised when her
turned and saw a woman in John''s arms.
"Mr. Shi..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped and thought, ''Is sheughing
because of the instant noodles?
Only four of us knew about the story.
Is the woman in Mr. Shi''s arms Nina?''
Henry was shocked. Noticing this change, John gave him a look and Henry immediately caught on.
"Mr. Shi, we''re leaving." After helping Adrian into the car, Henry drove away.
John got into his car. Richard sat in the driver''s seat and Amy sat in the passenger seat, stealing
nces at the back seat from time to time.
Nina wasying on John''sp with her face towards him and her back to Richard and Amy.
"Go to the hotel first, and then you two can go back to Stone Road," John ordered.
There was a calm look on Richard''s face, but his hands held the steering wheel tighter. He didn''t dare
speak up and ask anything though.
After hesitating for a long time, Amy asked, "Mr. Shi, is thisdy drunk?"
"Yes." John picked up a strand of Nina''s hair and yed with it in his palm.
"Then let me stay and take care of her tonight. Mr. Shi, you are tired and are in need of a good rest."
Regardless of whether John would get angry, Amy didn''t hesitate in blurting her thoughts out.
"No," John refused.
Amy was a little anxious. She thought for a while and conjured up a new reason. "Mr. Shi, you have just
returned. If you are caught with some woman in a hotel room, I''m afraid people will throw mud at you
and Time Group."
The others knew that Amy was hell-bent on not letting these two people stay in a hotel room
alone.
