Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 At the Peak of the Storm
The night Tang Jin Chen left, An Zixi lay alone on the big bed. She tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep, Even though her eyes were unbearably sour, However, she stubbornly opened her eyes and scanned the spacious bedroom. Her heart was empty as well. The lights in the room had already been turned on to their brightest. However, she felt an uneasy feeling corroding her, making it impossible for her to sleep peacefully. An Zixi looked at the empty pillow and finally fell asleep for an unknown period of time.

When An Zixi woke up to the first ray of light, he opened his eyes and looked at the empty pillow. His head went blank for a few seconds. For a moment, he was not used to this kind of silence when he woke up. If Tang Jin Chen was sleeping beside her, he would definitely hold her in his arms and refuse to let go stubbornly.

Tang Jin Chen … she remembered this person again …

An Zixi picked up the phone that was lying on the pure white quilt and looked nervously at the screen. Afterwards, he couldn’t conceal his disappointment.

Tang Jin Chen hadn’t even sent a text message since he left.

Suddenly, she realized that she was waiting for Tang Jin Chen’s ridiculous behavior. She immediately shook her head forcefully, wanting to sweep away this thought. An Zi Xi jumped up and heavily patted her pink cheek twice, wanting to make herself more clear-headed and not think about unrealistic expectations.

She couldn’t help but look around again. She always felt that there was a sense of loneliness. There was no Tang Jin Chen’s home, only her. Even the air was quiet, making people unable to get used to it for a while.

In order to stop himself from thinking nonsense, An Zixi packed himself up and went out as quickly as possible, wanting to get to work as soon as possible, instead of staring at the empty house alone.

Originally, she wanted to temporarily forget her depression by taking advantage of her job, but when she arrived at the company, An Zixi discovered that once Tang Jin Chen left, everyone’s eyes were filled with pickiness. No matter how slight her movements were, others wanted to pick out a thorn in it, so that they could make use of it to play their part.

Even the colleagues who could talk to her for a few days had become unfamiliar. The colleagues in the company seemed to be colluding and avoiding her tacitly. She was like a clown who had lost her pet. Everyone was waiting to see her joke.

An Zixi was unable to change this, so he could only advise himself to be cautious in everything so as not to fall into the mouth of others.

“Which one of you is An Zixi?”

When An Zixi heard the commotion coming from the office, it was as if someone was questioning him. However, the tone of his voice did not need to look at the other party’s expression, but he could hear a strong sense of disdain in his words.

Those who came were unkind An Zixi frowned and had some caution in his heart.

Perhaps the person outside the door told the other person his location, An Zixi heard the muffled sound of high heels colliding with the ground through the door. The sound was getting closer and closer. The moment it stopped, the office door was pushed open heavily. Then, it fell on the wall, producing a muffled sound. An Zixi stood up in panic and looked at the woman who stepped on the door inexplicably.

The woman did not stop at the door, She continued to walk in the direction of An Zixi with a fierce expression on her face. Her expression instantly became ferocious. She quickened her pace and stopped in front of the office between them. She leaned over and raised her body agilely. She slapped An Zixi. A palm print immediately appeared on An Zixi’s cheek. She felt a burst of burning on her cheeks, and the pain caused her to shake.

“You are An Zixi?” The woman raised her chin and looked at An Zixi coldly. Her eyes were filled with contempt. She did not even know who she was. She moved first, her arrogant aura lingering around the exquisite-looking woman.

An Zixi did not remember having any grudges with the woman in front of her. Perhaps she had never even seen this woman before. In her mind, she did not even have someone as arrogant and arrogant as her.

The woman was dressed in a tight suit, her hair tied up neatly. A pair of black sunglasses covered most of her face. The corner of her mouth curled to one side, revealing a mocking mood. There was confidence in her bones. When the woman saw An Zixi not speak, she lowered her head slightly and took off her sunglasses, revealing a refined makeup.

“What? Did you get beaten up by me?” His words were filled with bitterness.

The office was packed with people, An Zixi’s slap was unclear. Before he could figure out the truth, he had already been bullied to the point of being unable to retaliate. In such a situation, An Zixi did not expect his colleagues to come forward to seek justice for her. However, the smiling expression on their faces made An Zixi fiercely experience a situation of helplessness.

The people around her were either slapping her or waiting for her to make a fool of herself.

“Miss, Tang Corporation is not a place where you can casually throw your weight around. There are no barbarians here who only know how to attack like you. If you don’t leave, I will ask the security guards to take you out.”

An Zixi’s clear and translucent eyes were filled with water vapor, but she was so stubborn that she refused to condense into tears. Her hot face was constantly reminding her to be strong and not to be looked down on so easily.

The other party suddenly laughed contemptuously. He swept his gaze over the crowd standing at the door and made up his mind to disgrace An Zixi and make her unable to stay in the company.

“I think I need to introduce myself first. I am Li Qing, the daughter of the chairman of the Li Corporation and Tang Jin Chen’s fianc é e.”

The moment Li Qing said those words, everyone started to clamor. The Li Clan mainly focused on overseas markets, and their reputation even surpassed that of the Tang Clan. Although the Li Clan did not occupy many industries in Xinjing, the Li Clan’s reputation spread throughout Xinjing.

At the end of the sentence, Li Qing deliberately emphasized the word fianc é e. Her words hit everyone present, including An Zixi, like a heavy pound.

Although An Zixi had never interfered with Tang Jin Chen’s personal life, Tang Jin Chen did not seem to have a fiancee at all. Although the Li family’s business status in Xinjing was far inferior to the Tang family’s, Tang Jin Chen did not brazenly bring An Zi Xi to various occasions after his engagement with Li Qing, completely ignoring the Li family’s face.

Moreover, where Tang Jin Chen went abroad to take the exam this time, Even Anzi Xi, the Asia-Pacific market with the widest distribution of the Li family, thought about it. Tang Jin Chen’s overseas exploration required cooperation with the Li family. If that was the case, Tang Jin Chen would not be so stupid as to lift a rock and smash himself in the foot. Even he himself had told An Zi Xi that the funds involved in this project were huge, so Tang Jin Chen would not lose face with the Li family.

But An Zixi took a step back and thought, although Tang Jin Chen often brought him to appear in front of the public, he had never publicly revealed their relationship. An Zi Xi was not so much Tang Jin Chen’s female companion as Tang Jin Chen’s social flower, helping him deal with all kinds of people he was unwilling to deal with.

If it was true that Tang Jin Chen had mentioned the relationship between the two of them in front of everyone, That was the time when wang Zulan deliberately pestered him. But on second thought, A few simple words, Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, On the contrary, he remembered it in his heart and pretended to be. Perhaps, Tang Jin Chen had only helped him out of the encirclement helplessly at that time, and it was also the same in the eyes of others. There was no lack of women around Tang Jin Chen, and now An Zi Xi appeared frequently beside her. In the eyes of others, she was just playing around for a long time.

In the company, perhaps other people were also looking at An Zixi with this kind of thinking, which was why they were so disdainful of dating her. In addition, the moment she entered the company, she pulled out the dismissal of LUCK. Other people would only think that An Zixi relied on Tang Jin Chen to stir up trouble. Tang Jin Chen’s public intimacy towards An Zi Xi would only make An Zi Xi fall into an even more unbearable situation.

In this way, Tang Jin Chen could casually retreat. However, An Zi Xi lost her reputation and dignity. Yet, she had not seen the current situation clearly. In the morning, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed because of Tang Jin Chen’s departure. She really gave herself a big slap.

Thinking of this, Li Qing’s slap could be said to have fiercely woken her up.

Li Qing placed her bracelet in front of her chest and looked at An Zixi arrogantly. An Zixi lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something. However, Li Qing knew that her slap and a few words had taught An Zixi a lesson.

Not to mention that Tang Family and Li Family are going to have a lot of business, Even the elders of the two clans often interacted with each other, Li Qing was concerned about Tang Jin Chen, Father was also aware of this. Relying on the relationship and strength of the two families, it was absolutely beneficial and harmless for the two families to work together. Li Qing’s father once mentioned this matter in front of Tang Yun and Tang Jin Chen. Although Tang Jin Chen did not agree at that time, he did not refuse in person. Li Qing knew that Tang Jin Chen only kept silent because he cared about the friendship between the two families.

From the first time Li Qing saw Tang Jin Chen, she had decided that if anyone was worthy of her, it would be Tang Jin Chen. Other than Tang Jin Chen, she did not even have the intention to take a look at other men. Those men who chased after her were just mediocre talents who would flatter her with some financial resources, and were not worthy of her Li Qing at all.

Li Family was only Li Qing’s daughter, Although Li Qing was a girl, But his father didn’t mind passing on the family business to her, Unfortunately, Li Qing’s mind was not focused on inheriting her family business. She had founded Lu Shuai Firm in her early years, and her business was well-known in the industry. Li Qing’s father doted on her daughter and never went against her wishes. She could only watch helplessly as she abandoned her family business and did irrelevant things.

Li Qing said to her father, She wanted to marry Tang Jin Chen, In fact, in his father’s heart, Tang Jin Chen was definitely the perfect candidate for Li Family’s son-in-law. He had long since taken a fancy to Tang Jin Chen’s ability to do business. However, Li Qing’s father knew her temper. If she were to introduce this person to her out of thin air, she would definitely not comply. That was why her father had deliberately arranged a meeting between the two of them. Fortunately, her daughter’s eyes were exactly the same as his.

An Zixi understood Li Qing’s intentions. Although he wasn’t sure if Li Qing was Tang Jin Chen’s fianc é e, it would be even more inappropriate if he was entangled with Li Qing at this juncture. An Zi Xi understood that the most important thing to do in front of him was to retreat completely instead of entangling Li Qing in front of everyone.

“Miss Li, since you are President Tang’s fianc é e, you should come to the Tang Clan to look for President Tang, not to the Business Department.”

“I’m just here to remind you. Don’t use any more foxy tricks around Jin Chen in the future. Otherwise, next time, I won’t be as simple as a slap.”

Li Qing was a smart person. From the moment she picked Tang Jin Chen away from the company and came to ask questions, she knew that she had achieved her goal and had taken advantage of him. It would be unreasonable to make trouble again. She heaved a sigh of relief, put on her sunglasses again and left with her head raised.
