Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 118
Chapter 118 Temptation
Although her goal had been achieved, Li Qing still spared no effort to get Tang Jin Chen’s heart. She leaned against Tang Jin Chen’s body, her snow-white chest rubbing Tang Jin Chen’s arm back and forth, but Tang Jin Chen’s face did not change and his heart did not beat. He drank the red wine in his hand.
“Jin Chen.” Li Qing’s charming eyes were like silk as she used all her skills. No matter what, she was also a charming woman. She did not believe that he would not be moved if he seduced Tang Jin Chen like this. She had already done this. Could it be that Tang Jin Chen was still so heartless?
Tang Jin Chen’s heart was very clear about Li Qing’s thoughts. Just the restaurant on the second floor alone, Li Qing’s thoughts were already known by Sima Zhao’s heart.
Tang Jin Chen really didn’t want to pay attention to her, but he didn’t show much indifference because he wanted to see what Li Qing could do. Now, it seemed that he really underestimated her.
Tang Jin Chen pulled Li Qing’s tightly hugged arm to the application. His gaze inadvertently glanced over. The woman in front of him was indeed extremely sexy and seductive. Unfortunately, he was not interested at all. He only wanted to accompany her after this meal and go home to accompany An Zi Xi.
“Have you finished eating?”
Li Qing was stunned. She did not react for a moment. She was trying so hard to attract his attention, but in the end, this was his attitude? He actually asked her if she had eaten well, what did he mean? He wants to leave?
Li Qing straightened up and blinked at the person hiding at the side. After signaling for him to leave, she restrained her charming expression and said to Tang Jin Chen, “Jin Chen, don’t you want to accompany me for a while longer?”
Although she was talking to Tang Jin Chen, the corner of her eyes kept glancing at the man not far away. After receiving the man’s gesture of OK, Li Qing felt relieved.
Tang Jin Chen straightened his suit and drank all the red wine in his glass. He stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
Li Qing, on the other hand, stopped Tang Jin Chen from leaving. “Why, I haven’t finished eating yet? I don’t allow you to leave.” She really couldn’t understand what kind of devil stunned Tang Jin Chen about An Zi Xi, so he didn’t put her in his eyes. A rich family with a real name couldn’t compare to a bankrupt An Corporation family?
However, Li Qing, who had always won by means, did not know the truth of her feelings. She only knew that she wanted Tang Jin Chen, but Tang Jin Chen was completely focused on An Zi Xi. Since that was the case, it was no wonder that she used her own methods to seize Tang Jin Chen.
She looked like a little woman, but it did not match her appearance at all. Tang Jin Chen ignored her and said to Li Qing with a cold face, “Get out of the way.”
“I won’t let you.”
Li Qing thought that Tang Jin Chen was playing with her, so she didn’t intend to end tonight’s dinner like this. After all, there weren’t many opportunities to be alone with Tang Jin Chen, so she had to make good use of it. How could she let him go so easily?
Besides, Tang Jin Chen’s attitude towards her tonight was not too resistant. She could beg him to stay. No matter what, she wanted to have him.
Tang Jin Chen’s expression was already very ugly. He wanted to get angry with the woman in front of him, but he didn’t say anything. He just stared at the ungrateful woman with cold eyes.
Li Qing’s entire body was uncomfortable from head to toe, and she could already feel the bone-chilling chill gradually spreading throughout her body. She clenched her fists, bit her lips, and forcefully squeezed out a tear.
“Don’t tell me you’re so unwilling to accompany me? Jin Chen, it’s been a long time since I came out with you. Just accompany me for a while.”
As Li Qing spoke, her hand had already pulled onto Tang Jin Chen’s palm. Tang Jin Chen’s palm was cold and without a trace of temperature. She was so frightened that she let go of his hand and did not dare to say another word.
“Will you step aside?”
Tang Jin Chen couldn’t stand this woman standing in front of him, blocking his path. He spoke again, his tone still not very good. His eyebrows were filled with boredom. How could Li Qing not see it? She was just unwilling to admit it, unwilling to let him off just like that. But Li Qing was also very smart. Since Tang Jin Chen had gradually revealed her true nature, she did not have to force him to stay.
“Alright.” Li Qing stood up helplessly with a face full of regret, “Then I won’t eat anymore, even though I’m still very hungry.”
Tang Jin Chen turned around and wiped Li Qing’s body. “If you haven’t eaten well, you can stay. I don’t mind.”
Li Qing hatefully glared at Tang Jin Chen’s back. She thought to herself, “Why is this man so confused? He actually left her alone and let her stay here? It’s too irritating. She, Li Qing, has never suffered such a grievance in her life.”
But although she thought so in her heart, she couldn’t show it on the surface. Li Qing still maintained her most elegant smile and held Tang Jin Chen’s arm.
“Alright then, since you’ve finished eating, I won’t stay here anymore.” After saying that, Li Qing looked up at the sky outside. There were only a few rays of setting sun left in the dim sky. “It’s getting late. Let’s go. However, I didn’t drive here today. You have to take me back.”
Li Qing said so much, but Tang Jin Chen’s gaze fell on Li Qing’s hand that held her arm, “Let go.”
Li Qing was still immersed in the beautiful twilight and did not know what Tang Jin Chen had said. Tang Jin Chen didn’t give her any face and directly shook off her hand. “I don’t like people touching me.”
After saying that, Tang Jin Chen walked forward on his own. Li Qing was still stunned and did not react. Seeing that Tang Jin Chen was getting further and further away, he hurriedly picked up the leather bag on the sofa and followed him.
“Jin Chen, wait for me. I really didn’t drive over.”
Despite Li Qing shouting from behind, Tang Jin Chen did not stop and did not look back at her. He didn’t want to stay any longer with Li Qing and wanted to send her away at this moment. The complexion he gave her today was already pretty good. If she still didn’t know how to be satisfied in the future, then don’t blame him for being impolite anymore.
Li Qing was wearing high heels and could not walk fast, but Tang Jin Chen’s footsteps were fast. She could not catch up at all, so she could only watch helplessly as Tang Jin Chen’s figure disappeared in front of her, but she could not continue shouting loudly. This was the rush hour for dinner, and the people who came were all from the upper class. They had certain rights and status, so she couldn’t lose face. He had no choice but to stop his pursuit and elegantly walk out the door.
Although he didn’t know how anxious he was and cursed Tang Jin Chen thousands of times in his heart, he still maintained his elegance and temperament.
But what Li Qing never expected was that when she arrived at the door, she discovered that Tang Jin Chen had long disappeared. Li Qing was so angry that she wanted to throw away the leather bag in her hand, but in front of the two waiters, she could only resist the impulse in her heart. She called her driver and told him to come and pick her up quickly.
Tang Jin Chen drank some wine, so he did not drive. The restaurant sent a driver to take him home. Tang Jin Chen opened the window and allowed the night wind to disrupt his fine hair. His pair of gloomy and cold eyes looked at the changing scenery outside the window. He supported his forehead with one hand. Never had he missed An Zixi so much as now. He wanted to see her immediately.
It was the first time Tang Jin Chen felt that his villa was so calm. When he pushed open the door and entered, it was dark. He groped for a long time before he found the switch of the hall lights. Then, he glanced at the shoe rack. An Zixi’s shoe was gone. He looked back and forth several times before confirming that her shoe was indeed gone.
He bent down and put on his home slippers. He took off his suit coat and hung it on a shelf beside him. He looked up at the empty villa and saw that he was the only one.
Although he clearly knew that An Zixi might have left, Tang Jin Chen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He did not hesitate any longer and directly walked up the rotating stairs. When he pushed open the bedroom door, he wished he could hear An Zi Xi rush up, hug him, and say to him, “You’re back?”
However, there was nothing. It was quiet, not even turning on the lights. Tang Jin Chen tugged at the tie on his neck and approached the big bed that An Zi Xi had slept in this morning. An inexplicable sense of loss arose spontaneously.
Tang Jin Chen sat on the bed and took out his phone. He wanted to make a phone call and ask her why he left? Why don’t you just tell him and leave? But in the end, she gave up on this idea. Since she had returned home, she should understand her decision. It was just that this huge mansion now looked so terrifying.
Tang Jin Chen lay powerlessly on the bed and looked at the white ceiling. He missed her and thought about her, but did she know?
When the phone rang, Tang Jin Chen closed his eyes and took it, “Hello?”
“Where is it?”
It was Li Yu’s voice. Tang Jin Chen put one hand on his head and said, “What is it?”
“Recently, there is a project that requires you to go abroad to discuss personally. How about leaving tomorrow?”
Tang Jin Chen opened his eyes and went abroad? Let him go abroad at this time?
“Why do you want me to go to this project? Can’t you go?”
“Are you joking?” Li Yu’s voice was a little exaggerated. Tang Jin Chen frowned slightly. He really didn’t want to leave An Zi Xi recently, but he needed to find time for the company’s affairs. “Arrange it.”
“What’s the matter?” Li Yu’s tone softened as if he had sensed Tang Jin Chen’s emotions. His tone was filled with concern, “Your voice sounds weak. It can’t be that you and An Zi Xi aren’t good yet, right?”
Upon hearing An Zixi’s name, Tang Jin Chen felt even more melancholy in his heart. “No, me and her, alright.”
He was indeed reconciled, and his relationship was even better than before. However, he couldn’t see her all the time. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
“Don’t you want to go abroad?” A chuckle came from the other end of the phone. Li Yu couldn’t help but want to tease Tang Jin Chen, “Hey, it’s rare for you to have a crush on a woman. This time, this one has hooked your soul away. What? I won’t disturb you, right? Are the two of you …”
“Scram as far away as you can.” Tang Jin Chen started to get impatient. This Li Yu just mentioned his sad matter at this time. “Don’t mention her, she’s back.”
“You’re back?” Li Yu also knew that something was wrong, so he no longer mentioned An Zixi’s name and returned to his business. “Then don’t forget, I’ve booked a ticket for you on your 8:00 a.m. flight tomorrow.”
“Mm” Tang Jin Chen snorted and stopped talking.
