Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 355

Chapter 355 Be Caught Off Guard
In Tang Family’s spacious and bright hall, all the activities were going on as usual. Han Yeming had always accompanied An Zixi and never left. He said it was Tang Jin Chen’s birthday party, but it was entirely a banquet for rich and noble officials.

An Zixi looked at this group of people. They were all dressed beautifully. They must be high-ranking officials and nobles with decent backgrounds like Tang Jin Chen. There was no lack of handsome men and beauties in the upper class. There were some older people and many younger people present. They were all dressed in gorgeous and handsome attire and were on par with those stars on TV.

Tang Jin Chen continuously received everyone’s birthday greetings. Following the melodious music, everyone began to dance in pairs in the middle of the dance floor. An Zi Xi looked at Tang Jin Chen awkwardly. “No way, are we going to dance too? But I haven’t danced for too long, so I’m not familiar with it.”

“It’s fine, I can take you with me. You’re so smart, there’s no problem.” Tang Jin Chen’s gentle voice hovered beside his ears. An Zi Xi nodded and looked at Tang Jin Chen with admiration. This man actually knew how to dance.

But thinking about it, she felt ridiculous. Didn’t she have to participate in these activities when she was at An Clan in the past? However, in most cases, An Zixi was not fated to participate in these activities, because Su Wanyun would still find an excuse for her to miss those banquets in advance like before.

An Zixi felt that the person in front of him was like the Prince Charming who had walked out of a book, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“What are you laughing at?” Tang Jin Chen asked.

“It’s fine. I just feel that you’re different today from before.”

An Zixi really wanted to praise him, but there were already so many people praising Tang Jin Chen, so her words wouldn’t surprise Tang Jin Chen, so he didn’t continue.

Tang Jin Chen was worthy of being a versatile player in the business world. He even danced very well. He held An Zi Xi’s shoulder with one hand and her waist with the other. His movements were so skillful that An Zi Xi had no choice but to suspect that she often hugged other girls in this manner.

“Slow down. Follow my rhythm.” Tang Jin Chen thought that An Zi Xi couldn’t do too much when she was pregnant, Therefore, every step was so slow and light. An Zixi smiled and followed Tang Jin Chen’s footsteps. Tang Jin Chen walked forward and she followed. If Tang Jin Chen retreated, she would also retreat. The two of them moved together tightly and seemed to be in harmony. The two of them seemed to be very tacit understanding after the whole dance.

When the final music came to an abrupt halt, Tang Jin Chen suddenly lowered his head and kissed An Zi Xi in the middle of the dance floor. An Zixi was shocked. This unexpected kiss made people surprised and shy. Moreover, this was Tang Jin Chen’s family gathering. An Zi Xi was so scared that she pushed away the man in front of her. She did not think too much about this action. Therefore, when Tang Jin Chen felt An Zi Xi’s refusal, his expression obviously changed.

Of course, that dissatisfaction was not noticed in an instant, Tang Jin Chen smiled even after being pushed away by An Zi Xi. An Zi Xi saw that Tang Jin Chen did not say anything and felt extremely guilty in her heart. When Tang Jin Chen kissed her just now, she was really happy in her heart. That push was partly because she was shy, and partly because she felt that it was not good to show her affection in front of such a person.

“Wow, no way. That woman actually rejected Tang Jin Chen. Just what kind of courage did this woman have to do this? How many people were so desperate for Manager Tang’s kiss? This woman really doesn’t know what’s good for her.” Immediately after, a voice sounded out from the scene. An Zixi’s entire face changed. Really? She didn’t seem to be rejecting Tang Jin Chen. She just felt embarrassed because of this sudden sweetness. Thinking of this, her palms started to sweat profusely.

‘”Haha, that’s right. How many women in Manager Tang are thinking about how this woman embarrassed Manager Tang? I wonder what she looks like in the mirror. How can she have the courage to reject Manager Tang?”

A woman’s voice rang out. An Zixi raised her head and met Li Qing’s gaze. This woman’s sarcasm made her cheeks burn, and she wished she could get underground.

An Zixi didn’t know what kind of mentality Li Qing was talking about, so she could only look at Tang Jin Chen for help. She felt sorry in her eyes. She knew that she had done wrong, so how could she refuse Tang Jin Chen’s kiss in front of so many people? She wanted to explain something, but in the end, she lowered her head.

‘”Everyone misunderstood. I suddenly forgot that my girlfriend is not feeling well today. I will not care about everyone’s suspicions. It is impossible for some people to provoke our relationship. This is the first time that I will announce my girlfriend. I hope that the media will not write randomly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Tang Jin Chen fell into An Zi Xi’s ears word by word. She suddenly had an illusion. She felt that Tang Jin Chen was definitely angry. She regretted why she had destroyed that beautiful anger at that time. How could she remedy this awkward feeling?

‘”Thank you, everyone. It was indeed a little uncomfortable, that’s why…” After all, it was the focus of today. An Zixi felt that she should say something to show that it was just a misunderstanding. However, the figure before her made her swallow the rest of the words.

It was actually An Jieming. An Jieming actually appeared here as well.

An Zixi and him stared at each other for a few seconds before turning around awkwardly and no longer looking at him. Their brains were filled with An Jieming’s eyes filled with contempt and ridicule. If Lin Qiyuan’s appearance surprised An Zixi, then An Jieming’s appearance made her feel disgusted.

An Jieming’s relationship had always been very bad. Everyone knew that An Jieming hated her in the past. He probably wouldn’t be able to finish talking about the things that he had done against her for a day or night. An Zixi subconsciously wanted to hold Tang Jinchen’s hand, but Tang Jinchen’s hand held behind his back completely didn’t give him a chance.

This man was really petty. Didn’t he just refuse a chance to kiss? Wouldn’t it be enough to make up for it in the future? An Zixi put away the extended hand in frustration. He didn’t know what to do now.

Who would have thought that An Jieming would suddenly step forward and look at An Zixi, who had a face full of shock, and say, “Not bad, you’ve become Manager Tang’s recognized girlfriend now. You’ve improved a lot, and the charm of seducing men is still so strong. However, the chance to marry into a wealthy family is not as simple as you think. Be careful, it’s just a joke. There’s no place to cry when the time comes.” Jieming’s harsh words made An Zixi feel very uncomfortable, but how could he show it in front of so many people? It could be said that no matter what he did, it was unbelievable.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard An Jieming’s words. No wonder this woman was able to become Tang Jin Chen’s girlfriend. It turned out that she relied on superb seductive methods. Hence, An Zi Xi gave everyone the impression that she was just a “fox spirit” and “scheming”.

‘”Haha, when will it be the turn of my Tang Jin Chen’s girlfriend to be in charge of someone else? Take good care of yourself. Zi Xi and I don’t have the qualifications to interfere. There is a saying that only when we can’t eat can we say that our grapes are sour. As the eldest son of the An Clan, is it really true that your sister is a man?” How could Tang Jin Chen’s ability to adapt to changes be challenged by ordinary people? On the contrary, An Jie Ming’s words made Tang Jin Chen suddenly alert. Was the reason An Zi Xi was with her also the reason that An Jie Ming had said that she just wanted to marry into a wealthy family and fly to the branches to become a phoenix?

He did not want to continue to dwell on this matter. After all, today was his birthday, and it was not the time to discuss past grievances and feuds.

Li Qing suddenly said, “Manager Tang really looks at her affectionately. She is so protective of her girlfriend. However, there are no women in this world. I don’t think she would do anything to hurt her girlfriend if she lies in the Tang Clan. An Zixi is not simple at first glance.” An Zixi did not expect this kind of public expression of weariness towards him. She suddenly complained that Tang Jin Chen had announced that she was his girlfriend here. This was undoubtedly pushing her into deep trouble.

Li Qing did not forget to turn around and look at another person not far away. At this moment, Lin Qiyuan was filled with grief and indignation because he saw Tang Jin Chen kissing An Zi Xi. He sat in a corner and drank wine, cup after cup, as if he could forget those unpleasant things.

‘”Li Qing, you’ve fought me again and again. I’m afraid that I’ll endure it for a while. Today is Tang Jin Chen’s birthday. Even if you want to provoke me, please do it privately. I don’t think I’ll quarrel with you here, so please stop attacking me personally.”

How could An Zixi endure this anymore? Originally, she didn’t say anything in order to avoid having fun with others. Now, there were already people who were constantly slandering her in front of so many people, so she could only come out and clarify.

Li Qing was dressed in a black and hollow dress. Her chest was vaguely visible. Many men were looking at her. An Zixi was considering every word because she was no longer just the independent An Zixi. Now that she had such an identity, she was truly incompetent.

There were still a lot of things that he wanted to say to that woman Li Qing, but in the end, he still endured it. As the saying goes, enduring a moment of calm and tranquility meant that he could only take a step back. Now, he could only try his best to suppress his emotions and speak more wrongly.

‘”Enough, I didn’t invite you guys over to personally attack her today. Even if it’s you, Li Qing, I will endure your words. If that’s not good, please don’t stay here any longer. This is the place for a woman with good qualities to stay.” Tang Jin Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. He actually directly said that Li Qing was a woman without any qualities in front of so many people, and even intentionally or unintentionally hinted that if she did not speak properly, she would leave here.

“Good! Manager Tang has finally defended his girlfriend. I wonder if it would be good to say such words to your last term. Haha, I wish Miss An would not become the next me.” Not only was Li Qing not angry, she also applauded. Who didn’t know that Li Qing and Tang Jin Chen were engaged a long time ago, but for various reasons, the two of them didn’t continue to develop.

“It’s good to know.” Tang Jin Chen said coldly. His voice was filled with impatience, and he seemed to be about to get angry the next second.

In the end, a good birthday party turned into a choking sound between men and women. The atmosphere was very strange. In the blink of an eye, from the joy just now to the atmosphere today, they didn’t dare to show it.

Although he had told An Zixi that this was his family’s birthday party, he had actually invited many partners and friends to cooperate with him. This time, Tang Jin Chen’s reputation was going to be damaged again. This was in stark contrast to the man who had been silent for so long.

Mother Tang had been standing behind and watching Tang Jin Chen speak to those people. Her words were also constantly defending An Zi Xi. At this time, Mother Tang finally couldn’t see it anymore. If this continued, how could Tang Family have the face to invite everyone over?

An unpleasant banquet would have many negative effects on Tang Family. Originally, she had asked her son to bring a woman back, but she didn’t expect that she would announce her girlfriend on the spot. This undoubtedly surprised Mrs. Tang.
