Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 151
Chapter 151 Attend A Dinner Party
The servants who dressed An Zixi stopped them, “Don’t say anything else. It’s better for you to hurry up and do your own things. We can’t interfere with the matters of Young Master and Miss An. If you want to keep this job, it’s better for you to work properly.”
“Yes, what you said is also true. It has nothing to do with us.”
After saying that, the few of them dispersed. That’s right, how could they understand the affairs of the wealthy families? It was better not to look at it, it was better not to think about it.
The banquet was very lively. It was obvious that the banquet was not small. It was said that it was a charity banquet. Tang Jin Chen had even specially funded a sum of money on behalf of the Tang family to the children in the poor mountainous areas, greatly enhancing An family’s image.
Therefore, Tang Jin Chen’s appearance tonight was naturally the focus of everyone’s attention. Since Tang Jin Chen had received attention, everyone thought about who Tang Jin Chen would bring to be their female companion tonight. When An Zixi grabbed Tang Jin Chen’s arm and came out, the banquet was lively. When the bosses of several large companies saw Tang Jin Chen coming, they immediately welcomed him.
“Oh, President Tang came early tonight.”
Seeing that they were so attentive, Tang Jin Chen only nodded indifferently and said a few words perfunctorily, “Yes, but it’s not as early as the two of you.”
“What a joke.” A slightly plump man turned his gaze to An Zixi and said, “Oh, who is this? Manager Tang wants to introduce him.”
“Oh, she is.” Tang Jin Chen glanced at An Zi Xi and said indifferently, “My secretary.”
An Zixi did not react at all when he heard his words, but the fatty was the first to praise him. “What a beauty! Manager Tang is indeed surrounded by talented people. Even a secretary is so beautiful. This is comparable to many people present.”
Tang Jin Chen smiled and did not reply. However, An Zixi suddenly smiled and nodded at the fatty, “Thank you for your praise. Zixi doesn’t dare to do so.”
Tang Jin Chen did not expect An Zi Xi, who was so cold to him, to reveal such a charming smile to another man. His expression immediately darkened.
However, that fatty did not realize this. He thought that Tang Jin Chen was intentionally bringing An Zi Xi out tonight to get to know another boss so that he could expand his business in Tang Corporation.
Moreover, An Zixi’s attitude towards him was so obvious. After thinking about it carefully, he became bold and directly wanted to touch An Zixi’s hand. However, before he could get close to An Zixi, his arm was grabbed by the boss beside him who had come with him.
The fatty turned around impatiently, “Old Zhang, what are you doing?”
“Let’s go somewhere else and not interfere with Manager Tang.” The man called Old Zhang blinked at Fatty, and Fatty suddenly understood something. He immediately raised his head to look at Tang Jin Chen and discovered that Tang Jin Chen’s gaze was like a sharp sword, as if it was going to pierce through him.
Fatty was shocked. He pulled Old Zhang and casually exchanged a few words before leaving immediately.
Tang Jin Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, but he turned around and glared at An Zi Xi, “This is what you want? You’re starting to change your target, aren’t you?”
An Zixi sneered and moved his gaze away. “You’re overthinking it. I don’t have the ability to become the kind of woman you speak of.”
“An Zixi.” Tang Jin Chen almost gritted his teeth and called out her name, “Let me tell you, you came with me tonight. Pay attention to your identity.”
An Zixi curled his lips and smiled. A trace of a charming smile crawled into her eyes. “I know. Don’t worry, I’ll take a good look at my identity and won’t cause you any trouble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, An Zixi had already walked forward on his own.
Tang Jin Chen did not move his feet. He coldly looked at An Zi Xi’s back. Why did he suddenly feel that An Zixi had changed so much? Was this An Zixi in front of him the same An Zixi he loved at the beginning?
An Zixi took a few steps, but he saw that Tang Jin Chen did not follow him. An Zixi turned around and said, “What, is Manager Tang planning to go our separate ways?”
Tang Jin Chen followed him sullenly, but he no longer looked at An Zi Xi. Instead, he circled around An Zi Xi’s body and directly walked forward. An Zixi wasn’t in a hurry either. She slowly followed behind him. Every step she took made her feel as if she was walking on the tip of the saber. She was so painful that she couldn’t breathe. Even the smile on her lips was so stiff.
Tang Jin Chen was originally an outstanding person in the business world, so there were naturally many people who admired him. To put it bluntly, she was handsome and rich. She was also a single aristocrat, so once a woman saw Tang Jin Chen coming, they all came over.
“Manager Tang, long time no see. What are you busy with recently?” An enchanting woman climbed onto Tang Jin Chen’s shoulder. An Zi Xi glanced at the woman but did not react at all.
Tang Jin Chen did not refuse her, but directly hugged her waist. “Why did you come here today? Who did you come with?”
The perfume on the woman’s body was too heavy. Tang Jin Chen could not bear it anymore, but he still had a mocking smile on his face and said, “It has become much more beautiful.”
“Haha, Manager Tang is truly flattering.” The woman who climbed onto Tang Jin Chen’s body laughed wildly. Originally, she was quite happy. When had Tang Jin Chen ever been so intimate with her? However, when she raised her head and saw An Zixi beside Tang Jin Chen, her face darkened and she took her hand off Tang Jin Chen’s body.
“This can’t be sister-in-law, right?”
The woman’s eyes were sharp as she looked back and forth at An Zixi. An Zixi wasn’t afraid either, he just looked at her coldly. She really wanted to hear what Tang Jin Chen would say to this woman.
Tang Jin Chen picked up the red wine from the waiter tray. The dark red wine gently shook at the edge of the goblet, but the red wine did not spill at all.
“She’s just a secretary of mine. How could she be my sister-in-law? It’s possible for you, but it’s impossible for her.”
After saying that, Tang Jin Chen reached out and gently pinched the woman’s waist. When the woman heard this answer, she immediately leaned forward and carefully sized An Zixi up. She said with a disdainful expression, “A secretary? No wonder she wore such a skirt. She didn’t have any noble aura. Hmph.”
An Zixi coldly raised his eyes and looked at the woman. The woman then looked back with her chest raised, “What, what kind of expression is that?”
An Zixi only smiled and said, “There’s no expression in my eyes. I’m just following behind our president. It’s just a little cold. You don’t need to care.”
Seeing her arrogant attitude, the woman’s face changed, but in front of Tang Jin Chen, it was not easy for her to get angry. Moreover, she came with the other bosses today, so it was not good to cause trouble. She didn’t care about An Zixi anymore. She was just a small secretary, and she still didn’t care about her.
“May I know if President Tang is interested in going to the bar today?” The woman suggested.
Tang Jin Chen glanced at An Zi Xi and finally found a trace of fluctuation on her face. Tang Jin Chen took a sip of red wine and said, “I’m not going. You’ve been there so many times before, aren’t you satisfied?”
“Haha, really, yes, I’ve been there many times before, don’t forget about it in the future.”
After saying that, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at An Zixi, but seeing that An Zixi did not react, the woman could not say anything. “I have to go, Manager Tang. I’ll be waiting for you at the bar.”
“Yes.” Tang Jin Chen nodded. The woman had already turned around and walked to another man.
“I didn’t expect that Tang would always be a regular customer of the bar.”
An Zixi’s lips curled into a smile. On the surface, he didn’t seem to care at all, but in his heart, he was already overwhelmed with jealousy. She didn’t care what Tang Jin Chen did to her now. But it turned out that he used to go to bars a lot, but he didn’t know. She couldn’t stand this and felt even more uncomfortable, but she couldn’t show it, so she could only pretend that she didn’t care.
“What? You’re not satisfied?” Tang Jin Chen was actually quite happy in his heart. After all, this could prove that An Zi Xi still cared about him in his heart. However, in the past few days, he had forced her too hard, which was why he treated him so coldly.
An Zixi chuckled and tiptoed to Tang Jin Chen’s ear, “Manager Tang, you’re too kind to me. How dare I be dissatisfied? Manager Tang can go wherever he wants, I don’t care.”
After saying that, An Zixi’s arm was already on Tang Jin Chen’s arm. “I just don’t understand why you brought me here tonight. Could it be that it was so that I could see that you were having an affair with another woman?”
Tang Jin Chen did not expect An Zi Xi to say such a thing. He stared at her clear eyes and did not say a word for a long time.
After a while, An Zixi turned to look at him, “What? Did I really guess right?”
Tang Jin Chen looked at her face and suddenly held her hand. An Zi Xi’s body trembled, “What are you doing?”
Tang Jin Chen held her hand and looked into An Zi Xi’s eyes. “An Zi Xi, are we good?”
In the end, he was defeated by her. He didn’t want to torture each other like this anymore. Could it be that they wouldn’t be able to go back to their good old days?
An Zixi was stunned. She hadn’t reacted from the situation just now, but she didn’t understand what Tang Jin Chen meant. But she knew that Tang Jin Chen was thinking too simply. This is not a small contradiction. You can make it up as long as you make it up. Now that they were separated by countless mountains and rivers, how could they reconcile just by saying that they were reconciled? These two words sounded so simple, but they were also difficult.
An Zixi slowly pulled his hand away from his warm palm and smiled, “Tang Jin Chen, there’s no need to use the word’reconcile ‘between us, because we’ve never been better.”
Tang Jin Chen knew that An Zi Xi would not forgive him so easily. He explained again, “That time, what I said was not true. I was only using it to deceive them. I didn’t expect that I would be heard by you.”
“Yes, of course you wish I hadn’t heard it, but I heard it myself. But, even so, are you unwilling to admit it?” An Zixi smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Why am I so excited? I shouldn’t care.”
Tang Jin Chen clenched his fists tightly. He still wanted to explain something, but when he saw An Zi Xi’s indifferent and deathly grim expression, he was truly scared and began to hesitate.
“What do you need to do to believe me?”
An Zixi was stunned, but he still firmly said, “No matter what, I won’t believe you anymore. Remember what I said yesterday, there is only one contract left between us. Without the contract, we are nothing.”
An Zixi did not look at Tang Jin Chen’s expression after saying this. Instead, he went to another place alone. Tang Jin Chen looked at her petite back and did not even have the courage to chase after her.
Tang Jin Chen slowly loosened his hand and finished the wine in one gulp.
The party ended very calmly, as if nothing had happened. After An Zixi left Tang Jin Chen, she sat in the garden of the hotel for a long time. Tang Jin Chen did not come to look for her, nor did she go back to look for Tang Jin Chen.
It wasn’t until the banquet ended that An Zixi slowly walked out, while Tang Jin Chen stood in front of the hall waiting for her. She walked over and Tang Jin Chen asked her with a cold face, “Where did you go?”
An Zixi opened the car door and got into the car, “Nowhere.”
Tang Jin Chen followed her into the car. He couldn’t bear her expressionless expression. He wanted to tear open her heart and see if it was made of meat. Why did she choose to turn a blind eye to him when he lowered his head with her again and again? Didn’t she know that she really cared about her?
