Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 349
Chapter 349 Mrs. Tang Birthday Banquet
The car was filled with melodious music. The atmosphere was very warm. An Zixi looked at the joy on Tang Jin Chen’s face and felt warm in her heart. She had never thought that after experiencing so many things, the two of them would be able to sit in such a harmonious car.
Moreover, they also have a child together … But thinking that they are going to Tang Family in a while, they are still nervous to the point that they miss half a beat. “Tang Jin Chen, can I not go? I regret it.”
“My mother won’t eat you. Didn’t you always feel very confident? Could it be that you have retreated from such a small matter? There will be many things like this in the future. You must be prepared.”
“But …” There were still many questions in her mind. Tang Jin Chen suddenly interrupted her, “Alright, you can rest assured. Don’t be nervous. Isn’t there still me? Who would bully you if I were by your side all this time?”
An Zixi had a helpless expression. She was not afraid of being bullied by others, but felt that her current status was too different from Tang Jin Chen’s. Moreover, according to Tang Yu Xin’s words, in everyone’s eyes, she admired money and power. Would those ridicule appear again?
An Zixi stroked his slightly protruding stomach. What was the point of being so aggrieved? Was it the child in his stomach? If it wasn’t for this child, would she and Tang Jin Chen have gone their separate ways? This idea instantly magnified in her mind, and it was always easy for a woman in love to think too much.
“Tang Jin Chen, may I ask you a question?” An Zixi suddenly woke up from his sweet tenderness. ‘”Tang Jin Chen, answer me honestly. If it weren’t for this child in your stomach, would you be reconciled with me? Or would it be that the relationship between you and me relies on this child as a bond? I hope you can answer me honestly. I think you’re fine, but I don’t feel safe.”
Tang Jin Chen’s eyes lit up, “Why did you suddenly ask this question? Wasn’t it still very good just now?”
“I don’t think I’m a match for you. I was wondering if this child was the right decision to make. Don’t get excited. I just want to hear from you about our future plans.”
“If the child is mine, I think I will try to convince my mother that she might propose to you. Of course, these things are not just the current plan. The plan can’t keep up with the changes. I can’t give you a clear promise now, but you will get the best out of me before the child is born.” He came back to his senses from the joy of getting his birthday present. He was still unsure if the child in An Zixi’s stomach was his.
“Haha, I knew it. I’m just a mistress that you don’t need. You can do whatever you want. I’m such an idiot that I almost trusted you foolishly.” Tang Jin Chen did not love her. It was only because of the child that he chose to stay with her. These words were like sharp daggers that pierced into her heart. It was a slow pain, like a scar that had been healed and torn apart.
“Today is my birthday. I want to discuss this in the future, okay?” Tang Jin Chen’s face darkened. “A lot of people will come over later. As today’s heroine, you must maintain a good image. Otherwise, I don’t mind if my mother also minds. I think you look better when you laugh.”
An Zixi felt like a doll being played with. She would do whatever Tang Jin Chen said and had no chance to resist. She was a puppet, a self-righteous puppet. In fact, in Tang Jin Chen’s heart, she was nothing.
‘”Yes, good, you’re right. It’s best to give Auntie a good impression. Although I’m not your only one, I’m your woman today. Even though my status is humble, hehe, Tang Jin Chen, I think you’re right. As long as I’m happy now, it’s fine. Why should I yearn for love that I can’t touch?” An Zixi laughed at herself in her heart. In Tang Jin Chen’s eyes, she was just a crow that wanted to fly up a branch to become a phoenix. There was no real love left to speak of, it was just an excuse to deceive herself and others.
‘”I lost a toy when I was a child. I was very sad, so I desperately searched for it. Tang Jin Chen, did you know that I found my toy in the trash can outside the street? It was a little rabbit with red eyes and a green tie. She accompanied me every night. I thought it was my best friend.” An Zixi said word by word, his gaze falling on the fleeting scenery outside the window.
“What do you want to express?” Tang Jin Chen turned off the music while driving. He didn’t know what An Zi Xi meant.
An Zixi smiled bitterly. “It’s fine, I know you don’t like listening to me, Always was, I just want to say, in your eyes, I’m like that rabbit, There will come a day when I’m bored, The end result of being thrown into the trash can, But unlike you, When I found my rabbit, It smelled like a garbage can, but I really couldn’t bear to part with it. I took that dirty rabbit home and washed it again and again. My little friend in the orphanage saw me washing my rabbit continuously and gave it to me. I still remember his words. Since it’s dirty, I’ll throw it away. I’ll give this to you. ”
“An Zixi, what’s wrong with you?” Tang Jin Chen did not understand what she meant, but the originally good scene had now become like this. Tang Jin Chen clenched his fists and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
“I said, I only want my rabbit, because even if I have a new one, it will not be the same as the old one.”
An Zixi smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m just telling an ordinary story. One day, I’ll be the one who stays by your side like that rabbit. Do you believe me?”
The implication was that Tang Jin Chen would regret losing him one day, but Tang Jin Chen did not understand the story. He just turned his head and smiled.
“Isn’t it just a rabbit? Why are you so stupid? You can buy a new rabbit if you lose it.”
His simple sentence shattered all the fantasies in An Zixi’s heart. It didn’t matter if he lost what he liked. He could change it again, he could change it again. At that moment, An Zixi was a little dazed. The person in front of him maintained a distance of less than a foot from him, but it was as if there was a distance from the ends of the earth that he would never reach.
“I know.” An Zixi looked out of the window. The corners of his eyes were somewhat astringent. Her lips trembled as she tried to continue, In the end, she swallowed all the words that came to her mouth. Since that was the case, why did she care about Tang Jin Chen’s mood? From that moment on, An Zi Xi swore that she would not shed tears for this man. After all, it was not worth it. The words that she silly believed were just Tang Jin Chen’s “replacement”, right?
One day Tang Jin Chen will get tired of her.
He didn’t say anything else halfway through, An Zixi also recovered her smile from the beginning. In her memory, there was almost no chance to participate in such a large meeting. Although Su Wanyun had always been very kind to her in An Clan, she would still remind An Zixi in private time and time again.
“I brought you here, so you have to listen to me, so you don’t have to attend today’s banquet. I will directly tell Master that you are not feeling well today.”
An Zixi would nod in agreement at this time. In that family, she was a character that everyone could handle, because she was too cowardly. Looking at An Zixi’s dress that was prepared on the bed, she resisted the urge to cry and took it out of the drawer. She needed to vent her anger, so the beautiful skirt was cut into pieces by her. She felt very happy looking at the messy strips of cloth.
She was obedient and sensible. She went from a pitiful little girl in the orphanage to an enviable daughter of a wealthy family. This was the biggest change An Zixi had ever experienced. Not only did she have to change the habits that Su Wanyun thought were bad, but there were also many innocents.
She still remembered seeing Angele standing outside the room the other day. The handsome and violent young master looked at him with obvious disgust in his eyes. Soon, An Jieming told Su Wanyun what she saw. Su Wanyun comforted An Zixi affectionately on the surface, but privately ordered people to take away her favorite toy and throw it away. It was her favorite toy, just because she wanted to give the doll the most beautiful clothes with those broken strips of cloth.
An Zixi’s eyes turned red when he thought of what had happened in the past. Tang Jin Chen quickly drove the car to the Tang Family’s parking lot.
She followed Tang Jin Chen all the way into Tang Family’s gate without saying a word. An Zi Xi looked at the four-storey villa in front of her. It was even more majestic than Tang Jin Chen’s own house.
“Let’s go in.” Tang Jin Chen held her hand and comforted her, “Don’t be nervous, I will always be by your side.” In fact, this was not the first time he had come to Tang Family, but the previous few times he had not been so formal or even criticized. His previous madness had turned into nervousness and uneasiness.
Her heartbeat was fierce because there were all luxury cars outside. From BMW to Mercedes-Benz, from Ferrari to Rolls-Royce, these cars could only be driven by wealthy people. The little inferiority complex in An Zixi’s heart was gradually magnified. She was just a Cinderella who didn’t own anything. Without the accompaniment of a prince, she was nothing.
“Tang Jin Chen, I want to go back.” An Zixi said weakly, her voice recognizing her uneasiness and panic.
Tang Jin Chen added, “Can An Zi Xi, who usually fights with me so fiercely, also be afraid?”
An Zixi gritted his teeth and said, “Whoever said that, I’m not afraid. I’ll go.”
It was obvious that Tang Jin Chen’s provocation was very effective, so An Zi Xi entered the hall of the Tang Family under Tang Jin Chen’s lead.
From afar, he could see a row of large words hanging outside the main hall with red banners on their backs. “Happy birthday, Mr. Tang Jin Chen, good health and success in your career.”
These few words poked An Zixi’s laughing point and ignited her fiery heart. This is the first time I’ve put on a gown and come here, In this way, An Zixi tidied up her dress and held the red scarf in her hand. On such a solemn occasion, the scarf naturally had no chance of being tied around Tang Jin Chen’s neck. She felt helpless while cheering herself up. The look in her eyes outside the door was a little disdainful, as if she was going to shamelessly participate. As a woman, she felt that she was a failure. He definitely couldn’t let them succeed, so he raised his head and smiled with a grand demeanor.
“I’m going to the bathroom. Wait for me.” Tang Jin Chen said.
An Zixi nodded and looked anxiously at Tang Jin Chen’s figure. Gao Da Zhou’s figure was very eye-catching.
However, her gaze suddenly attracted a lot of attention. Of course, no one would regard her as the protagonist of today. There was no protagonist showing his face outside with a big red scarf in his hand.
“Miss, please go somewhere else.” The security guard came over to console her. An Zixi awkwardly shook the scarf in her hand. This time, she was really embarrassed. However, she couldn’t care less. She could only wait for Tang Jin Chen to return.
“I’m a guest here.” An Zixi said awkwardly.
“Please show me your invitation. You are not allowed to enter without an invitation.” Was this the rhythm to drive her away? An Zixi didn’t have any invitations!
