Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 110
Chapter 110 His Tenderness
“Shall we take a bath?”
An Zixi nodded. She rarely heard Tang Jin Chen speak to her so gently. Was this a blessing in disguise?
Seeing her nod, Tang Jin Chen happily took off the jacket that was draped over her body, revealing the messy jacket underneath, and his eyes suddenly became cold. Tang Jin Chen clenched his hands tightly, not letting him see that man again. Otherwise, he would definitely call him unable to survive, unable to beg for death.
In the end, he forced himself to calm down. He gently helped her take off her clothes. Although this was not the first time he saw her body, this time, Tang Jin Chen was filled with regret. He loved her and hated himself even more!
Only when the warm water gradually spread throughout her body did An Zixi feel warmer and warmer in her heart. She lay in the bathtub and Tang Jin Chen carefully wiped her. Fortunately, Ye Sheng only kissed her neck and her clothes were still in good condition.
After washing, Tang Jin Chen changed An Zi Xi’s pajamas, carried her to bed, and covered her with blankets.
Tang Jin Chen sat by the bed and held her hand tightly. “How is it? Are you feeling much better?”
An Zixi did not say anything, only nodded, but his gaze was fixed on Tang Jin Chen. Only now did she realize how much she depended on Tang Jin Chen. It felt really good to have him around, allowing her to put down her guard. She was willing to trust him completely and hand herself over to him.
“Shall I go out for a moment?”
After Tang Jin Chen finished speaking, he stuffed An Zi Xi’s small hand into the quilt. He stood up and was about to leave. An Zixi reached out and grabbed him, “Where are you going?”
“I’ll go shopping and come back soon. Wait for me.”
As he coaxed her, he pulled her away and grabbed his hand. Tang Jin Chen bent down and kissed An Zi Xi on the forehead. An Zi Xi closed his eyes. Tang Jin Chen’s lips curved into a gentle yet sympathetic smile and he went out.
After Tang Jin Chen left, An Zi Xi sat up. She sat on the bed, her eyes dull. She looked at the tightly closed door and waited for Tang Jin Chen to enter.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Jin Chen finally came in. He went to buy some clothes for her. She left last time and took most of the clothes away. The clothes left behind in the cabinet were all lost because of his anger. On the way to buy clothes, he thought about her all the time. He was worried about her. He was worried about her.
Fortunately, she was still strong. She didn’t cry nor make any noise. She just sat there quietly and spoke when she saw him coming.
Tang Jin Chen entered the room with the porridge in his hand. An Zi Xi looked up at him and said, “You’re here.”
“Yes.” Tang Jin Chen’s heart tightened, but he still sat beside her and asked, “Are you hungry?”
“Not hungry.” An Zixi shook her head. She didn’t feel hungry, she just wanted to look at him all the time. Only in this way did she feel safe. Only when she returned to this familiar place could she relax completely. As long as Tang Jin Chen was around, she would not be afraid at all. In the end, he was still the man who could give him a sense of comfort and security.
Tang Jin Chen heard her say that she was not hungry. He frowned slightly and put down the clothes in his hand. “How could he not be hungry? He just drank some wine. He would feel better if he ate something.”
An Zixi shook his head, “I’m really not hungry.”
Just as Tang Jin Chen was about to say something, the phone suddenly rang. Tang Jin Chen hung up without even looking at it.
“Why aren’t you answering your phone?” An Zixi asked in confusion.
Tang Jin Chen held her hand tightly and said, “If you don’t take it, you’re the most important.”
An Zixi was moved, but the phone rang at an untimely time. Tang Jin Chen wanted to get angry, but An Zi Xi advised him, “Take it, it’s fine.”
Tang Jin Chen picked up the phone and pressed the shutdown button, “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
An Zixi nodded blankly. Although she had calmed down, there was still fear in her eyes. She tried her best to calm down, but there was nothing she could do. When she thought of Ye Sheng’s disgusting face, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
Tang Jin Chen could clearly feel her nervousness. He sat beside her and held her in his arms, wanting to ask her why she had appeared at the Phantom Bar. He wished he could endure all the fear for her when he thought of how she was drinking in a luxurious banquet hall while she was in a state of terror.
After thinking for a while, Tang Jin Chen still asked, “Why did you go to the Phantom Bar? It’s so messy, don’t you know?”
Although his tone was filled with reproach, it was still filled with concern. How could An Zixi not understand what Tang Jin Chen meant? If Tang Jin Chen knew why he went to Phantom Bar, then all the people in the company would not be able to escape. If that’s the case, will everyone be fired?
An Zixi still decided not to reveal all of this. She shook her head in his arms. “Can you stop asking? I’m so tired.”
Tang Jin Chen looked at her affectionately and nodded in agreement. “Alright, I won’t ask you. I won’t ask you how you are, okay? When you want to talk to me, just tell me.”
Although he said this on the surface, how could Tang Jin Chen end this matter so easily? If he did not find out who did it, he would never forget this matter for the rest of his life.
“Chen.” An Zixi’s weak voice sounded. Tang Jin Chen lowered his head and said, “What’s wrong?”
“I shouldn’t have been cold-blooded with you.”
Hearing her say that, Tang Jin Chen let go of her. “Why do you say that? It should be me apologizing. I shouldn’t have been cold-blooded with you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have encountered such a thing today.”
An Zixi frowned, “No, it’s my fault.”
At this time, An Zixi suddenly remembered that she was hiding something from Tang Jin Chen. She had never thought of telling him about her identity. She didn’t dare to imagine what he would think of her if he found out the truth one day.
Tang Jin Chen looked into her clear eyes and his heart tightened. “It’s good that you’re fine. Otherwise, I’ll curse myself to death and hate myself to death. Zi Xi, do you blame me?”
An Zixi shook his head, “I don’t blame you, really.”
What right did she have to blame him again? She should have resisted when the business manager told her to receive clients. She knew that her future was dangerous, but she still stubbornly thought that she could actually do it. How did she know that there would be such a disgusting man? Furthermore, she could not bear to meet three in a row in a single night. She hated this kind of place even more.
An Zixi did not understand why there was such a place in the world. Using a woman’s body as a tool to earn money, she could feel the powerlessness of those women for the first time. However, when she saw a flattering smile on their faces, she immediately felt that they were so pathetic.
She was still struggling to resist and was unwilling to accept it. However, they were willing to accept it. They had long been paralyzed by all of this. In their hearts, they had no desire to resist or escape. In the end, they compromised with reality.
‘”What are you thinking?” Tang Jin Chen looked down at An Zi Xi. He didn’t know what he was thinking. He was afraid that she would recall what happened in the bar. He hurriedly said, “Don’t think nonsense, okay? You’re fine. You’re complete. This incident was just an accident.”
An Zixi knew what he wanted to say and what he was worried about. She raised her head, raised her gaze, and a pale smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. Under his comfort and careful care, she finally recovered her complexion.
“You don’t have to worry about me thinking nonsense. I’m fine. It’s just that this matter has taught me that women should protect themselves properly.”
Hearing An Zixi’s words, Tang Jin Chen felt even more guilty. He gradually tightened his arms around her waist and said, “Zi Xi, I will protect you in the future.”
An Zixi nodded, but she felt tired. She was so tired that she wanted to sleep.
“Chen, I’m tired.”
“I’m tired. Let’s have a good sleep.” Tang Jin Chen slowly laid her down on the bed, extremely gentle.
An Zixi grabbed onto the corner of Tang Jin Chen’s clothes tightly and said in fear, “Then don’t leave me.”
Tang Jin Chen nodded her nose in amusement, “Don’t worry, I won’t leave.”
Until An Zixi fell asleep, Tang Jin Chen looked at her sleeping face, looked at her tightly knitted brows, and stretched out his hand, wanting to smooth her tightly knitted brows.
Wasn’t she really frightened this time? Seeing her facial features shrink together, his heart ached. Thinking about it carefully, she didn’t eat. He should have prepared something for her to eat. Otherwise, when she woke up, she would definitely be hungry.
After tucking the corner of her blanket and kissing her tightly knitted brows, Tang Jin Chen reluctantly left.
After closing the door, Tang Jin Chen took out his phone and turned it on. The time displayed on the screen was four in the morning. Tang Jin Chen did not hesitate and pressed Li Yu’s phone number.
“Holy shit, Tang Jin Chen, are you mistaken? Call me now. Did you get robbed?”
Li Yu’s dissatisfied voice rang out. Tang Jin Chen frowned and said, “Stop talking nonsense. Investigate something for me.”
“Now?” Li Yu rubbed his sore eyes. He stayed up late last night and finally fell asleep. He was actually woken up by Tang Jin Chen. This world is really crazy.
Tang Jin Chen knew that he was a little sorry to disturb his sleep, but he still said coldly, “Now.”
Perhaps because he felt that something was wrong with Tang Jin Chen’s tone, Li Yu stood up and said, “Alright, what do you think?”
“Help me find out who arranged for An Zixi to receive Ye Sheng as a client.”
“Ye Sheng?” Li Yu had heard of this name before. He didn’t do much business and didn’t have much ability. However, he was notorious. Why would someone arrange An Zixi to receive him?
Tang Jin Chen forcefully suppressed his anger and coldly said, “Don’t ask about anything else. Hurry up and investigate. After that, give me the answer.”
Li Yu knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to stay awake at this time and ask him to investigate something.
“What happened to you? What happened?”
“I’ll tell you when I have time. I’ve disturbed your sleep.” Tang Jin Chen’s tone revealed a faint exhaustion. He had not slept all night, so he was really a little tired.
Li Yu knew that Tang Jin Chen didn’t want to say anything more, so he could only nod and agree, “Alright, then wait for my news. If anything happens, you must tell me.”
“Yes.”
Tang Jin Chen hung up the phone, looked at the tightly closed door, and went out.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, An Zixi only knew that she had fallen asleep very late last night. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her eyes slowly opened.
What was visible was a white ceiling with a huge chandelier hanging above his head. What a familiar scene. An Zixi’s head still had a headache. She slowly recalled what happened last night. Sunlight shone through the veil and fell on the ground.
An Zixi tried his best to sit up straight and looked around. Tang Jin Chen wasn’t around, where did he go? Fear gradually engulfed every corner of his body. An Zixi shouted uneasily, “Tang Jin Chen, Chen, where are you?”
There was no response to the huge room. An Zixi locked his body tightly and wrapped himself in a quilt. This was Tang Jin Chen’s room. None of last night was a dream. She had truly experienced it before, and Tang Jin Chen took care of her carefully. His gentleness and consideration were not dreams.
However, she had told him not to leave her, why did he leave, why didn’t he accompany her? She’s scared, really scared.
The door opened gently. Tang Jin Chen pushed the door open and entered. He saw An Zi Xi hiding under the quilt. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Tang Jin Chen hurriedly ran over.
He had just gone out for a while, but he didn’t expect that it would be dawn. He only waited a long time before a porridge restaurant opened. She needed to eat some light food. There were no ingredients at home, so he had to go out to buy it.
“Zixi, what’s wrong with you?” Tang Jin Chen frowned, his face full of concern, “Is there something wrong? Are you hungry?”
When An Zixi saw Tang Jin Chen, he became excited, “Why did you leave me? Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t leave me?”
