Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Love?
Tang Jin Chen thought about An Zi Xi and said that he was going to go home today to get some clothes for the season. He thought that the madness of the night had made her so tired that she didn’t look for her deliberately anymore.

After a short while, Tang Jin Chen’s gaze swept past the corridor and subconsciously looked towards An Zi Xi’s location.

An Zixi had already left, and there was no one in the office. Through the transparent glass door, he could clearly see the cup that was still emitting hot air on An Zixi’s table.

Probably thinking of something, he gently pushed open the door. Looking at the tablets on the table, he couldn’t help but frown.

She was actually … sick? He actually didn’t tell him such a big thing.

Annoyed, he took out his phone and dialed the familiar number.

However, Tang Jin Chen heard two beeping echoes coming from the phone, and then he heard a pleasant ringing not far away. However …

He suddenly turned around and heard the sound coming from the empty room. It was clearly on An Zixi’s desk.

His heart paused. Thinking that An Zixi might still be in the company at this time, his eyebrows relaxed for a moment and he frowned again.

“Manager Tang, why are you here? I said I was going to your office just now.” A beautiful female voice came from behind. Tang Jin Chen turned around, his eyes gloomy as water was about to seep out.

“Chen Ting, go and find out where An Zixi went.” Tang Jin Chen’s tone was low, and the coldness in her eyes made Chen Ting tremble as she walked in.

She carefully looked at An Zixi’s table. The steaming cup was still standing there quietly. She nodded her head and answered. She turned around and walked out.

Tang Jin Chen walked a few steps around the desk and sat down peacefully on the comfortable chair. There seemed to be an inexplicable fragrance on An Zi Xi’s body, and he couldn’t help but recall the madness of last night.

Not long after, Chen Ting brought back the news. She didn’t find An Zixi anywhere and even went to check the company’s surveillance.

An Zixi hadn’t taken a single step out of the company since he came in this morning.

Playing with the cup left behind by An Zixi, Tang Jin Chen knew that An Zi Xi wouldn’t be out for long.

He furrowed his brows and looked out of the window. The sky outside the room had already darkened. Night fell. He had an ominous premonition that something must have happened to An Zixi.

“Go inform the security guards of the company. From now on, everyone must find An Zixi in the company. If I don’t see anyone in an hour, ask them to scram immediately.” Tang Jin Chen stood up and walked out with large strides. There was no room for change in his words.

Chen Ting hesitated for a moment, then reacted. Tang Jin Chen wanted to personally look for An Zi Xi. With so many people involved, she did not dare to neglect him at all.

Having given up the struggle for help, An Zixi’s heart had long been shrouded by the fear brought about by the night.

In the quiet bathroom, she could even clearly hear the sound of water droplets falling from the pool. The sky outside had already turned pitch black.

In this terrible darkness, she had already shrunk into the corner of the wall, her body trembling incessantly, and she covered her eyes in fear. Hours of memories rushed into her mind. The sound of wind, rain, whips, her screams …

She was habitually afraid of the darkness, afraid of loneliness, afraid of this deathly silence.

The scene of her childhood suddenly flashed through her mind. It was as if another scene that she would never forget had appeared in front of her. In the heavy rain, she helplessly knocked on the tightly shut door, and the gale behind her ruthlessly pressed down on her fragile nerves.

If it weren’t for her only remaining belief, she wouldn’t even know if she could persevere …

That had become the most painful memory of her life. In the days to come, she would only be able to sleep peacefully with the lights on for so many nights.

“Xiao Qi …”

Huddled up in solitude, An Zixi’s consciousness gradually became somewhat hazy. Her body became trembling in this cold bathroom, and her mind became dizzy, almost unable to help but fall down.

In her vague consciousness, she seemed to have heard Tang Jin Chen’s voice, which seemed to be getting clearer and clearer from far to near.

She opened her eyes wide in horror, but at this moment, the voice suddenly stopped. The sound of flowing water and the dead silence were still beside her ears.

Bitter tears streaked down the corners of her eyes. How could she still think of this man at this time?

This guy who forced her to sign a humiliating lover’s agreement, this guy who could only satisfy his own desires but didn’t care about her feelings at all, how could he care about him?

An Zixi smiled bitterly, and his tears of sadness could no longer be stopped.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps. The door, which she had exhausted all her strength to open, creaked loudly.

She was suddenly awakened from her slumbering consciousness.

“An Zixi, where are you? Hurry up and come out.” It was Tang Jin Chen’s voice, and it sounded a little anxious.

“Manager Tang, there seems to be something wrong with the lights here. I will send someone to repair them as soon as possible.” It was Chen Ting’s voice, and she could hear it clearly.

Only then did she become convinced that Tang Jin Chen had really come. At this moment, she was like a person who had fallen into the water, grabbing onto the only straw that could save her life, and her body couldn’t help but tremble.

“I…” A note came from her dry throat. Her hoarse voice was exceptionally clear in the empty room.

“An Zixi,” Tang Jin Chen suddenly shouted and rushed over to the place where her voice came from. He was so close that she almost didn’t even react when he arrived in front of her.

In the pitch black bathroom, following the faint light from his phone, Tang Jin Chen finally saw An Zi Xi, who was hiding in a corner and shivering with cold.

An Zixi could clearly feel a strong force coming from her body. She had already been hugged by Tang Jin Chen. The temperature coming from his chest, which was so close to his body, made her feel much better.

“Alright, it’s fine.” Tang Jin Chen hugged her tightly. The unrelenting energy in his hand almost choked An Zi Xi. At this moment, the warmth in his voice melted the ice condensed in her heart.

Chen Ting had already left tactfully. An Zixi stared blankly at the endless darkness and suddenly felt a trace of warmth in her heart.

Her confused eyes were stained with tears, and she could no longer restrain her emotions. She leaned over Tang Jin Chen’s shoulder and cried out in pain.

“Alright, it’s alright,” Tang Jin Chen repeated softly, comforting her.

Never before had she felt so warm in a person’s embrace, as if it was her most comfortable harbor.

Under the dim street lamps, Tang Jin Chen sat in the driver’s seat in front of him, his steady and dignified back projected into An Zi Xi’s eyes.

An Zixi looked at this figure with mixed feelings in his heart.

She was telling herself that the person in front of her had once told her that she was merely treating herself as her own retaining wall; However, why was he so gentle towards a shield?

If he really used himself as a retaining wall, would he still be looking for him tirelessly after closing the doors of the entire building?

Moreover, after finding him, when he saw his panicked gaze, An Zixi was slightly shocked. To An Zixi, who lacked love, that gaze was like sunlight.

However, could it be that he was being too passionate? He was just an heir to a company that was close to collapse, not even an heir.

An Zixi turned his head to look at the blurry scenery outside. His heart was also empty. At this moment, he did not know what to say or do. Perhaps silence should be the best response.

A faint raindrop fell and landed on the ground. The water splashed out stopped on the window glass in front of An Zixi.

“Wait, you’re going to take me” An Zixi suddenly noticed something was amiss, because the path in front of him was clearly not his own home!

An Zixi patted the guy in front of him on the shoulder and said loudly,

“Hey, this is clearly not my direction!” .

Tang Jin Chen ignored all of this and continued to drive as if he hadn’t heard these words at all.

Not long after, the car arrived at a place that Anzi Xi was familiar with. After all, Anzi Xi had spent several nights here before and had left behind the most precious experiences in his life. How could he forget?

Tang Jin Chen’s villa.

“Come in. Anyway, I won’t drive anymore. If you don’t want to, either stay in the car for the night.” As Tang Jin Chen opened the car door and got down, he coldly threw out these words.

An Zixi sat in the car. He was really stunned for a while, and he was also hesitating.

If he had changed his temper, he would definitely not have left even if he stayed here until dawn. However, it was different now.

This fellow in front of him didn’t seem to be a bad person. At least from the way he looked at himself, he was truly moved by him.

“Hey wait …”

The air conditioning in the car was turned off, and An Zixi felt a huge chill. He quickly got off the car.

Tang Jin Chen had already arrived at the room, and the door was still open. An Zi Xi stepped on his 10 cm high heels and entered.

Just like before, when An Zixi entered, he discovered that the lights weren’t on. In the darkness, there was only moonlight shining from the window, and he could vaguely see a figure in front of him.

Tang Jin Chen, why is he standing there? Shouldn’t he have already returned to his room and waited for him?

Without waiting for An Zixi to say anything, Tang Jin Chen immediately walked over and hugged him.

This hug seemed to be too anxious. An Zixi almost couldn’t believe it. It was as if he had lost something precious, but it was as if he had regained it. His heart was filled with infinite nervousness and joy.

“You” An Zixi wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. In the end, he could only say this indifferently.

“You … don’t let this happen next time.” Tang Jin Chen was like a child who had lost a toy. When he said this, his voice sounded so pitiful.

An Zixi even had the urge to stretch out his hand to touch the top of his head, just like when he saw a child crying to comfort him in the past.

“No … I won’t.” Although An Zixi wasn’t sure what was going on, her God Representative agreed.
