Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 281
Chapter 281 A Surge Of Sadness
When Mother Xu entered the kitchen, she saw that Father Xu was already standing at the edge of the pond choosing dishes, and the two old men had regained their amiable looks. This made An Zixi forget how happy he was.
Tang Jin Chen stood beside An Zi Xi and sighed deeply as he watched this scene.
The love between the two old men was as simple as a lifetime, but he, Tang Jin Chen, could not even satisfy such a simple matter.
He glanced at An Zixi. His heart was not only filled with love, it was also filled with heartache. When had the little princess in his heart been tortured to such a state?
He hugged An Zixi tightly in his arms with self-blame and used almost all of his strength, not daring to let go for a moment.
Although An Zixi still refused to forgive her in her heart, she was still on guard against her.
But Tang Jin Chen didn’t care. He knew that he would wait until the day An Zi Xi liked him. Before that day came, Tang Jin Chen only needed to wait quietly.
This kind of waiting was very painful at first, but after such a long time, waiting had already become a habit. This habit made Tang Jin Chen numb, but it was also very gratifying. At this moment, this woman that he liked so much was standing beside him.
An Zixi felt as if something had been staring at her. She raised her head and accidentally met Tang Jin Chen’s burning gaze. Her face turned red all of a sudden, until it reached the root of her neck. She asked awkwardly.
“Tang Jin Chen, what are you looking at me for?”
“Where am I looking at you? You’re clearly looking at me.” Tang Jin Chen purposely said this because he didn’t want to lose face in front of An Zi Xi. Although Zhou knew that he liked An Zi Xi, An Zi Xi had always felt that it was just a scene.
How could he take the matter of playing tricks for real? However, he, Tang Jin Chen, was serious, so he didn’t want An Zi Xi to see his sorry state.
“Nonsense.”
“What nonsense am I talking about? It’s clearly you looking at me. If you don’t look at me, how would you know that I’m looking at you? Furthermore, you’re blushing and refusing to admit it. Are you fascinated by my handsome and charming appearance? Haha, I can’t tell. An Zixi, you’re still an Appearance Association.”
An Zixi was confused by Tang Jin Chen’s words. He was speechless to death. Indeed, an idol was an idol. To be able to say something different from ordinary people, An Zi Xi rolled his eyes and didn’t want to pay attention to Tang Jin Chen. He went to the living room to watch TV on his own.
Although Tang Jin Chen reluctantly let go of An Zi Xi, after all, this was the first day of their agreement. He was still eager to stay with this person for a while longer.
After all, Tang Jin Chen felt that he owed too much to the two of them when they separated. He wished he could spend every minute and second with An Zi Xi.
“What are you doing?”
An Zixi was stunned in the living room. He thought about what had happened in the past few days, the encounter between her and Tang Jin Chen, the feud between the two of them, and the absurd idea that she had decided to stay with him for a few days.
In an instant, everything rushed forward. An Zixi did not know whether his decision was right or wrong.
After all, from the moment she decided to give Tang Jin Chen a try, her original intention was more for the baby in her stomach.
She lived in an orphanage without parents, and even if she was adopted later, she lived without love at all. She did not want her baby to live in such a family.
She wants her baby to be loved by her father and cared for by her mother.
An Zixi was stunned. She thought a lot, and for a moment, a bit of worry surged into her heart.
Tang Jin Chen, who had just helped Xu Fu and Xu Mu cook in the kitchen, vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he asked the two elders for leave and came out to take a look.
However, when she saw An Zixi standing on the balcony with a worried expression, her arms tightly hugging her, her face pale and her heart filled with worry.
“Zixi, are you alright? What’s wrong?”
An Zixi shook his head and said that he was fine, but he was intentionally or unintentionally concealing the anxiety in his heart.
The thoughtful Tang Jin Chen could still see the clue. He knew that perhaps An Zi Xi still hadn’t completely forgiven him, because he had seen An Zi Xi like this before.
At that time, when An Zixi was leaving him, Tang Jin Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He felt very guilty in his heart. He had clearly promised An Zi Xi that he would take good care of her, but now, due to his negligence, An Zi Xi was worried and sad because he remembered what happened in the past.
“Alright, the two of us shouldn’t be here anymore. Let’s go to the kitchen and help Mom and Dad.”
An Zixi was actually very afraid that when she was alone with Tang Jin Chen, because she knew that she, An Zi Xi, had never been a very well-concealed person.
Presumably, the emotions on Tang Jin Chen’s face could be seen at a glance. An Zi Xi still felt that there was no need for him to do something like this that made Tang Jin Chen worried.
She knew that Tang Jin Chen would definitely do something for her.
“You sure you’re all right?” Tang Jin Chen continued to ask. He was extremely worried about An Zi Xi.
“I’m fine, Tang Jin Chen. Do you really wish for something to happen to me?”
An Zixi asked. There was a little girl’s arrogance in her words. Even though she was already a mother, she still longed to be spoiled in her heart.
“It’s really alright. Alright, alright. Let’s go. If you don’t leave, I’ll go alone.”
Looking at Tang Jin Chen’s doubtful look, An Zi Xi could only leave this place as soon as possible. If it wasn’t for this, he might have fallen in front of Tang Jin Chen in a while.
This was the last thing An Zixi wanted to see, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened and walk past Tang Jin Chen.
With An Zixi joining in, dinner was quickly prepared. Hot dumplings were served on the table, and the family was very friendly. They were very happy, but they didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Father Xu and Mother Xu asked about Tang Jin Chen’s recent situation. Just as An Zi Xi thought, Tang Jin Chen, a cunning person, had actually said everything flawlessly.
During the meal, Tang Jin Chen went to the kitchen to get an empty plate. He picked up the dumplings one by one with his chopsticks and placed them in front of An Zi Xi.
“Here you are. It should be all right now, right?”
“Yes, you actually remember.”
An Zixi had never thought that this arrogant man would actually remember his hobby. An Zixi always liked to eat dry things. She liked to eat dry noodles, dry dumplings, and even a little water.
She thought that other than Lin Qiyuan, there wouldn’t be anyone else who cared about this little habit, but she didn’t expect that this cold-hearted man would actually remember this little habit that made her feel warm.
“What do you remember about this? Ever since you stopped eating dumplings stained with water, I don’t eat them anymore. Love me and love my crow.”
Father Xu could tell that the young man in front of him liked An Zixi, but something seemed to have happened between the two of them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
After dinner, they bid farewell to Father Xu and Mother Xu. The two of them came out of the house. The weather was actually a little cold. An Zixi shivered.
She couldn’t help but sigh at the cold weather.
Tang Jin Chen looked at everything in his eyes. He took off his clothes and quietly draped them over An Zi Xi’s body.
An Zixi felt flattered. No matter what, she never expected that the dignified president of Tang Corporation would actually do such a thing for her. She had secretly rejoiced, but in the blink of an eye, she was disappointed. Perhaps this was just him putting on a show.
Could it be because of the child in his stomach? An Zixi’s heart was locked again. She locked herself tightly and no one could enter.
“Thank you.”
An Zixi turned around and said to Tang Jin Chen. She did not refuse, but she was not very grateful.
The word “thank you” was not a common phrase for Tang Jin Chen. It was rather ear-piercing. He never thought that this woman would be so polite to him. This kind of courtesy made Tang Jin Chen feel very uncomfortable. He didn’t dare to imagine that he would be like this.
“Let’s go together.”
Tang Jin Chen had just walked to the side of the car when he suddenly thought of such an idea. It had been a long time since the two of them had spoken so quietly for a while.
An Zixi nodded but did not refuse, because she felt that it would be very embarrassing to be in such a sealed space with Tang Jin Chen in the car.
Tang Jin Chen and An Zi Xi were walking along the road together. The aunts of this community all gathered at the entrance after lunch. Seeing the two of them walking together, they all teased.
“You two are newlyweds who just moved in, right? I haven’t seen you before.”
An Zixi was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to say. His face turned red with embarrassment. Tang Jin Chen smiled and hugged An Zixi into his embrace.
“Yes, Auntie, we just moved here recently. Does my wife look good?”
“Good-looking, good-looking.” The onlookers’ aunts were overjoyed when they saw the two of them being amiable.
An Zixi’s heart had already galloped past ten thousand horses. How could Tang Jin Chen be so shameless?
Tang Jin Chen lowered his head and looked at An Zi Xi. Seeing her daring to be angry and not daring to speak, he felt that she was very cute.
“An Zixi, you will never escape from my Tang Jin Chen’s palm in this lifetime.” He secretly said happily in his heart.
Tang Jin Chen hugged An Zi Xi until he reached the entrance of the community, and then he was freed by An Zi Xi.
“Tang Jin Chen, what exactly do you want?”
An Zixi asked angrily.
“What did I do? You’re my wife. There’s no one else in my arms.”
