Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 22
Chapter 22 An Zixi’s Thorn
Ever since An Zixi found a reason to move out of his home, the number of times he went home had also decreased. Apart from working hours, Tang Jin Chen would bring An Zi Xi to the public in private, regardless of whether it was big or small.
The two of them interacted frequently, and Tang Jin Chen’s behavior towards the outside world became even more intimate and bold.
Most of the time, Tang Jin Chen would only hold a wine cup and look at An Zi Xi, who was overwhelmed with laughter. Occasionally, when he saw that he couldn’t get past the etiquette, he lazily raised his eyes to the person who was talking to him and said, “Miss An, what do you think?”
Anzi Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Everyone hissed endlessly, unable to figure out what kind of medicine the second young miss of the An Clan, whose family background wasn’t very strong, had given Tang Jin Chen, causing her to lose her mind.
Only An Zixi knew, This Tang Jin Chen was bound to completely squeeze out his last bit of energy … No matter where he was … Thinking of this, An Zi Xi’s face couldn’t help but turn red. However, this change in expression was completely visible to Tang Jin Chen, who had been watching from beginning to end. Tang Jin Chen’s smile grew thicker, and the joy in his heart was magnified countless times unconsciously.
Before Tang Jin Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, he couldn’t wait to lean down and whisper, “I’m very satisfied with your performance today.”
Tang Jin Chen’s voice was very soft. As he spoke, hot air wrapped around An Zi Xi’s ears, and it was very scratching. An Zi Xi couldn’t help but tremble, as if an electric current was coming from his ear and flowing around his body.
An Zixi’s reaction made Tang Jin Chen very satisfied. The woman in front of him was strangely sensitive to her teasing.
Tang Jin Chen laughed proudly, but An Zi Xi wanted to pretend to be calm. He took a deep breath and tried to restore his calm. He raised his cup and met Tang Jin Chen’s burning eyes. He spoke very slowly and tried his best to make his tone sound normal. “It’s my honor to fill Manager Tang …”
However, before Tang Jin Chen could finish his sentence, he inadvertently spilled the champagne from his cup and dripped it onto An Zi Xi’s hand. “Ah” An Zi Xi shouted softly, but Tang Jin Chen did not care. The hand wrapped around his waist had a little more strength, as if he wanted to rub An Zi Xi into his embrace before he was willing to give up.
Tang Jin Chen looked at An Zi Xi even more presumptuously, “I hope … tonight … your performance can also satisfy me …”
Recently, Tang Jin Chen’s words became even more blunt. He was even more unrestrained towards An Zixi, Even when he was at work, An Zixi was still dizzy and struggling with all kinds of numbers. The next second, Tang Jin Chen asked Chen Ting to invite An Zi Xi to his office because she had important things to tell him. What Tang Jin Chen called important things … was to make An Zi Xi submit to Tang Jin Chen.
In the company, although the relationship between An Zixi and Tang Jin Chen was already clear, even though there were a few people who didn’t know about it, every time they saw An Zi Xi coming out of Tang Jin Chen’s office, their faces were flushed. The most ignorant people could see it clearly.
An Zixi had already warned her to be mentally prepared before signing the agreement, but she really didn’t expect Tang Jin Chen to reveal their relationship so openly in front of everyone without any scruples.
Although the people in the company were on the surface polite to An Zixi, But in private, there were endless discussions about An Zixi, and he even inserted all sorts of unpleasant words into An Zixi’s body. To be able to know this, it was all thanks to the office that had poor sound insulation. Thinking of this, An Zixi couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, as if he was having fun with himself.
“What, you’ve already thought of how to behave tonight?” Tang Jin Chen had a mocking tone, but his brows furrowed.
As for An Zixi’s personality, Tang Jin Chen could not say that he knew her like the back of his hand, but he could see through her to a certain extent. However, An Zi Xi’s tolerance had already exceeded his imagination. The rumors about her in the company had already spread all over the place, and insults and slander had already reached his ears. Without even thinking about it, he knew how much pressure this woman was enduring from public opinion.
However, An Zixi was a tough nut to crack. No matter how unpleasant the words beside his ear, how distant his colleagues were, and how difficult it was to carry out his work, An Zixi had always remained silent.
If it was any other woman, she would have cried and complained about her grievances, but An Zixi didn’t say a word.
Tang Jin Chen did not understand. Although the Anjia family’s assets are not as large as Tang Family’s, However, An Zixi was also considered a daughter who grew up in a wealthy family. Although she was a girl and everyone in the circle knew about An family’s relationship, as a daughter of a wealthy family, she was naturally spoiled. However, not only did An Zixi not have the indulgence of a large number of wealthy families, he also had some traits that other people did not have in his bones.
He wanted to know how long this woman could last and when she would ask him for help.
Although An Zixi was still not used to Tang Jin Chen’s teasing, she was smart enough to ignore this good method. An Zi Xi put down the cup and looked tired. “I was a little distracted.”
Tang Jin Chen was very dissatisfied with An Zi Xi’s reaction and was distracted? What do you mean distracted? I, Tang Jin Chen, actually have a time to distract a woman?
Tang Jin Chen suppressed his anger and his face got closer to An Zi Xi’s. “Then it seems like you need to do something that can make you concentrate.”
Before An Zixi could react, Tang Jin Chen half-dragged An Zi Xi’s hand towards the exit.
Just a few steps away, someone blocked the way, and a strong scent of perfume came from his nose.
“Big Brother Jin Chen, why did you leave when I just arrived?”
Tang Jin Chen was blocked off, and he couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy. He raised his head and saw that the other party was President Wang’s daughter, Wang Zu Lan, and was in the way. He vaguely said a few words, “Yes, I was just about to leave. Have fun.”
“Big Brother Jin Chen” Seeing that Liang Jin Chen was about to leave again, Wang Zulan hurriedly grabbed Tang Jin Chen’s arm and said, “Big Brother Jin Chen, wait.”
An Zixi saw that someone was pestering Tang Jin Chen, so he naturally moved forward habitually. An Zi Xi understood that this was the role she had for Tang Jin Chen.
“Miss Wang, I’m glad to see you again.” An Zixi smiled. However, her eyes were filled with exhaustion. During this period of time, she had already been worried about the matters of the two companies. In private, Tang Jin Chen would not let her go easily. Her energy had already been exhausted. Now, she only wanted to deal with the flowers and plants sooner, and pray that Tang Jin Chen could let her go tonight.
However, Wang Zulan did not put An Zixi in his eyes. He only pulled Tang Jin Chen to ask questions. An Zi Xi could tell that Tang Jin Chen was starting to get impatient.
“Miss Wang, we also happened to meet at the reception with Jin Chen last time, right?” An Zixi calmly reminded Wang Zulan, hoping that she could leave sooner.
As he spoke, he removed Wang Zulan’s hand that had climbed onto Tang Jin Chen’s and placed it on his own. Tang Jin Chen took the opportunity to hug An Zi Xi, and only then did he see that his expression was somewhat relaxed.
An Zixi’s words and Tang Jin Chen’s cooperation attracted Wang Zu Lan’s attention. Of course, Wang Zu Lan remembered how An Zi Xi had stuck to Tang Jin Chen’s side during the last reception.
At first, Wang Zulan thought that An Zixi was the young miss of a prominent family. Later, he found out after careful inquiry that she was only An Heng’s daughter. The people in the circle of An Clan had long heard that a woman who might not even have the right to inherit the family had the right to stir up trouble by Tang Jin Chen’s side.
“Miss An is dressed appropriately today. I believe Brother Jin Chen bought this dress for you on a whim. Otherwise … based on your An Clan’s strength, I’m afraid you’ll have to wear a rag to embarrass yourself today.” Wang Zulan looked at Fan An Zixi with a mocking look on his face.
Wang Zulan’s words were full of mockery. When people heard this, they knew that Wang Zulan was mocking An Zixi’s current family’s embarrassment. Even attending the reception could only rely on Tang Jin Chen happily admiring a dress to wear.
Tang Jin Chen stood between the two of them and looked at the two women as if nothing had happened. This Wang Zu Lan was notoriously unruly. Last time, he didn’t want to be entangled by Wang Zu Lan so he pulled An Zi Xi as an arrow card. Now, it seemed that he had to thank Wang Zu Lan for giving him a good mood.
Facing Wang Zulan’s provocation and mockery, An Zixi, who was standing beside Tang Jin Chen, smiled instead of being angry. Instead, he looked at Tang Jin Chen ambiguously with a reproachful expression. “Looks like Miss Wang remembered the joke that Jin Chen played last time.”
Wang Zulan sneered and rolled his eyes. However, what An Zixi said next made Wang Zulan unable to laugh anymore.
An Zixi smiled faintly. He said to Wang Zulan slowly, “I presume Miss Wang is also a very ambitious person, Then you must understand, Whether an item is valuable or not, what really measures it is not the thing itself, but whether the person who owns it can set off its value, “Many people nowadays like to embrace so-called high-end brands. They always feel that this shows their social status. In the end, Wugui is a material binding. It’s like a person who thinks he knows the elements of fashion and attributes everything that is popular to him.”
An Zixi gave Wang Zulan a meaningful look and then said methodically, “It’s like a golden eyeshadow, a bright lip color, a heavy bracelet, a cumbersome accessory, a hair accessory that he thinks highlights his charm, a diamond-studded high heel, and an immobile skirt.”
An Zixi paused for a moment. At this moment, wang Zulan was stunned. She did not expect that not only did she not take advantage of her words, she was humiliated by An Zixi to the point that she did not have the strength to retaliate.
Golden eyeshadow, bright lips, heavy bracelets, heavy accessories, and the pair of high heels that she had specially ordered for a long time, An Zixi was clearly referring to herself.
Before wang Zulan could recover from the shock of An Zixi’s words, the next second, he heard An Zixi add impolitely.
“Apart from the two words’deliberately ‘, there is no sense of beauty in this kind of dress. In comparison, the rags and old clothes in the eyes of this kind of people seem to be much more decent. Miss Wang, are you saying that?”
Just as An Zixi’s words fell, a burst of laughter came from the crowd. It turned out that a few people had gathered to watch the show unknowingly.
This time … wang Zulan completely felt that he had lost face in front of the crowd …
Wang Zulan was so angry that he stamped his feet. An Zixi still looked elegant. Tang Jin Chen looked at An Zi Xi with interest.
I really didn’t expect that An Zixi, who had always been obedient, would also have a thorn in his side.
This woman is really capable of accidentally causing accidents to me.
