Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 242
Chapter 242 An Outburst Of Silence
Platinum five-star hotel, the huge crystal mirror screen reflects the brilliant decoration. Gold-plated luxurious chandeliers carved European classical style ceiling beautiful lyric music in such a beautiful environment dining mood will unconsciously become better.
Li Qing forgot that just as she got off the plane, a strand of her hair deliberately landed beside her ear, and a pair of diamond earrings shone brightly. The gorgeous lipstick made her look very good. She pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her with a faint smile.
He had been drinking coffee since just now, and he didn’t know where his eyes were looking. She was specially dressed differently today, didn’t he notice at all?
“Jin Chen, what are you thinking?” Li Qing finally couldn’t help but ask. Tang Jin Chen put down the cup and answered casually, “Nothing much.”
The waiter walked over and handed the two menus to them. Li Qing flipped open the menu and smiled, “Jin Chen, what would you like to eat? Would you like two steaks first?”
“Whatever.” Tang Jin Chen wasn’t even in the mood to order, so he put the menu aside without even looking at it.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Li Qing felt a little disappointed and ordered a few dishes according to his preferences.
Recently, Tang Jin Chen had arranged his work schedule very full. He instructed his secretary to count the evening’s personal time directly. The secretary was stunned and followed his instructions to arrange his schedule until next month.
“Jin Chen, don’t treat yourself like a working machine, okay? I heard it’s been a long time since you came home. Let’s go back to visit uncle and aunt after dinner, okay?” Li Qing asked him in a negotiating tone. Tang Jin Chen did not have any waves on his face. He replied coldly, “There are still matters to attend to in the company. You can go by yourself later.”
“Why are you always pushing me out? I’m your fianc é e. Isn’t it right to care about you? Don’t tell me you still want that An …” Li Qing knew that she had made a mistake when she said that. She immediately stopped and embarrassedly stopped talking.
Hearing her mention An Zixi, Tang Jin Chen’s pitch-black eyes clearly flashed. She was separated from his life, but from time to time, she could always think of her. How ironic.
Tang Jin Chen, you really lost this time.
The two of them were only a few meters away from each other, why did Li Qing feel as if they were separated by a century?
This century’s distance was all due to that woman An Zixi! If it wasn’t for her, how could it be like this?
“Sir, madam, your dishes are all ready. Please enjoy yourself.” The waiter placed a bottle of 86-year-old Lafite on the dining table. Li Qing thanked the waiter for letting her go down first.
“I have to drive back to the company later. I can’t drink.” Tang Jin Chen stopped Li Qing from pouring wine into her glass and seemed a little impatient. Li Qing smiled coquettishly and said, “What does it matter? Just drink two cups with me. At worst, let the driver drive you to the company.”
Li Qing saw that he did not stop him anymore. She slowly poured the red wine into the glass and raised the glass in front of her. “Jin Chen, I wish us happiness in the future.”
Tang Jin Chen indifferently took a sip of the cup. Li Qing’s action of raising her cup stopped in mid-air. A few seconds later, she slowly retracted her cup and silently took a big sip.
The ice-cold red wine became warm in his mouth and slid into his stomach along the esophagus. Tang Jin Chen had not eaten anything good for several days and his stomach was slightly scorched by the wine. Li Qing cut the steak with a knife without saying a word, while he tasted the red wine alone. Her handsome face was suffocated by the golden light.
Li Qing put the steak in front of her in front of him and said, “I heard that you haven’t eaten well lately. If this continues, your body will collapse.”
Tang Jin Chen didn’t even raise his eyelids. He continued to drink the wine in the glass. Li Qing saw that he was so angry that he couldn’t speak. She took a few mouthfuls of wine and drank until her cheeks turned red. Then she raised her voice and asked, “Tang Jin Chen, what’s wrong with you? You haven’t spoken since just now. It’s just a perfunctory answer. What do you think of me?”
Someone finally couldn’t help but erupt, but Tang Jin Chen’s attitude was really frighteningly cold. He put down his empty wine glass and sat in his seat without saying a word.
“What are you talking about? If you have anything to say, or if you want to blame me for pushing that woman away, you can say it!” She couldn’t stand this oppressive atmosphere, feeling even more uncomfortable than suffocation. What exactly did he want?
“It wasn’t you who pushed her away, it was her who wanted to leave.” Tang Jin Chen finally said this sentence that had been pressed down in his heart for a long time. She was hiding from him, hiding in a place where none of them could find her.
“So, you want to live under the shadow of that woman for the rest of your life? Tang Jin Chen, do you still know that Tang Jin Chen?” Li Qing asked with a frown.
“Forget about her, don’t you still have me? I’m better than her, prettier than her, and I love you more than her. Why don’t you accept me?” After Li Qing asked this, tears rolled down without warning. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said, “Sorry, I don’t want to cry in front of you.”
Tang Jin Chen silently swept her a glance. In his memory, Li Qing rarely cried. He felt that the image of being weak and needing protection was not suitable for her. When he wanted to cry, he swallowed his tears into his stomach.
He stood up with his coat in hand. Li Qing looked up at him and said, “Where are you going?”
“Didn’t you say that you would go back to see your parents?” Tang Jin Chen put on his suit jacket and walked out first. Li Qing thought that she had heard wrongly, so she reacted and chased after him with her bag.
At seven o’clock in the evening, when An Zixi went out with the thermos kettle in hand, Xiao Mo chased after him from the kitchen and stood at the entrance. He said, “Sister Zixi, it’s too late. It’s better for me to send it off. You don’t have to go there.” With her stomach protruding out, who would be able to rest assured if she went to the hospital by herself?
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve only been here for more than four months. Don’t make such a fuss.” An Zixi put on her shoes and went out. She delivered food to Su He on time every day. Firstly, he was her friend. Secondly, she knew that the person who hit him was Li Qing. There was nothing she could do to make her heart feel better.
Xiao Mo took the key and caught up with her, “Sister Zi Xi, wait a moment, I’ll send you there.”
Sending An Zixi to the hospital gate, Xiao Mo happened to take a bus back to school. She carried the thermos pot into the elevator alone.
“What? You want to be in a movie?” Su He put down the bowl in his hand in surprise and said in a low voice, “Zi Xi, I don’t agree.”
Su Yu wasn’t as excited as Su He. She patted An Zixi on the shoulder and said seriously, “Zixi, think carefully. You’re not alone now. You don’t have to consider the baby in your stomach anymore?”
An Zixi understood that they were all doing this for her own good. She smiled and said, “Sister Su Yu, listen to me, I promised Director Chen a lot of it because of Qiyuan. He and I are orphans, and it’s not easy for him today. If we can help him pave the way for acting, then why not?”
“In the end, it’s still you who are stupid, stupid enough to help this and that. My stupid girl, can you think of yourself more?” Su Yu felt somewhat distressed for this innocent little girl in front of her.
An Zixi smiled heartily and looked at Su He, “Sister Su Yu, it’s really Su He, not me who’s stupid.”
“Yeah, then sit here for a while, you two idiots. I’ll go wash the dishes.” Su Yu folded the bowls one by one, picked them up and walked out of the ward.
The gentle breeze blew open the light blue curtains. Su He asked her if she had really decided. An Zixi nodded, “It’s just five or six scenes. It’ll be finished in a week.”
“Since you’ve already decided, I don’t have anything else to say. Take good care of yourself. Don’t be tired.” Su He’s pretty face couldn’t conceal his concern for her. Besides, with Lin Qiyuan by her side, what else was he worried about?
“Alright, I promise.” An Zixi smiled and nodded. When Su Yu came back from washing the dishes, she saw that the two of them did not speak. She wiped her hands and asked jokingly, “Oh, what are you two doing?”
Su Yu felt that the ward was too boring. In any case, Su He was the only one living here. She took out poker cards and played poker with three people.
In the dressing room at the back, two makeup artists stood by their seats and waited for Superstar Lin. In the corridor outside, Xiao Ya stuffed Lin Qiyuan with the script and program flow. “I know you don’t want to be on this program, but Director Zhang has invited you, so you can go on!”
Lin Qiyuan held onto Taiben in his hand and didn’t say anything with a dark face. Every time he was angry, he didn’t like to say anything. When he first entered the industry, he went on an entertainment show with a superstar in order to increase his visibility and popularity.
It was because he accidentally told the truth on the show that the superstar was shamed on the spot and the show was not recorded successfully. At that time, he was depressed by the pressure from big star fans and TV stations.
However, now that he had become famous, it was someone else who would accompany him.
“The content of the program is very simple. Let’s chat and play a game in the middle. It will end in more than an hour.” Xiao Ya softened her tone and said to him, her eyes occasionally paying attention to whether there were any reporters secretly taking photos around.
On the other side of the corridor, Ye Kexin, who was dressed in a pink fluffy dress, took advantage of her manager’s carelessness to walk over to Lin Qiyuan and greet him, “Hey, Superstar Lin is more handsome than he looks on TV.”
Lin Qiyuan shook hands with her politely. The little girl was straightforward and had a good personality. She was the most popular among the newcomers.
Xiao Ya was having a headache over Lin Qiyuan’s program when a little girl suddenly interrupted her. Just as she was about to get angry, Ye Kexin’s manager ran over and apologized, “Sorry, Xiao Ya, our family is not sensible. Don’t be angry.”
Then, she turned to complain to the cute and petite Ye Kexin beside her, “Oh my little aunt, why don’t you stay in the dressing room and come out?”
“The show starts in half an hour. I can’t make it. Didn’t you talk to the director? Hurry up and leave me alone.” Ye Kexin pushed her unsightly manager aside and continued to chat with Lin Qiyuan.
Xiao Ya was so busy that she didn’t have time to serve the little princess. She directly dragged Lin Qiyuan to the dressing room.
“Ah? Why did they leave?” Ye Kexin turned around and asked her manager.
The long-haired manager snorted coldly, “I don’t want to talk too much with you. Let’s go.”
Ye Kexin stuck out her tongue and followed her manager to another dressing room.
Mr.Tang and Mrs. Tang were surprised to see Li Qing and Tang Jin Chen coming back together. Li Qing handed the gift back from Singapore to the servant and smiled. “Uncle and aunt, I’m sorry to disturb your rest so late.”
Mrs. Tang looked at her son’s expression and was stunned for a few seconds before warmly inviting them in.
The servant brought them a few cups of tea. Mr.Tang picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot air. He looked at Tang Jin Chen and whispered, “Jin Chen, I heard that you’ve been busy with the company’s affairs all day. Although the company’s affairs are important, you can’t delay your rest. You have to know that your health is the capital of the revolution.”
“I know, Dad.” The steaming cup of tea in front of Tang Jin Chen was almost cooled by his attitude. Tang Jin Chen’s mother was in a good mood and asked Li Qing if she was used to living in Singapore. How long would she be staying here this time?
Li Qing had always been dignified and elegant in front of her elders. No matter what had happened, she would be the only hostess of Tang Corporation in the future.
