Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 428
Chapter 428 Return Of An Zixi
After lunch, Tang Jin Chen drove the two elders home and went to the central hospital.
“Brother, I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore. My illness has healed. What do you mean by sending me to the hospital? Don’t you want me to go home? I can’t stay in the hospital forever, right?” Tang Jin Chen took her back to the hospital without asking for her opinion. She could not go anywhere in the hospital, as if she was in prison.
“I’m taking you home this time. Your illness has healed. I didn’t say that I wanted you to stay in the hospital.” His ice-cold face revealed itself once again. Tang Jin Chen’s expression hadn’t changed since he received a phone call. It must have been that phone call just now.
“Can you tell me what happened? Why is your expression so bad?” Tang Jin Chen tightly pursed his pure, straight nose and deep eyes, not revealing any coldness.
‘”Nothing much. I’ll take you back to the hospital later. By the way, did you say that you wanted to go back to the entertainment industry last time? If you said that you wanted to go back to the entertainment industry, then start this matter from now on. I’ve already planned your team for you.” Ever since he had brought this news to Tang Yuxin last time, he had been planning this matter.
Coincidentally, the Tang Corporation’s new product launch was in a month’s time. At that time, it would save a lot of money to hire a front-line celebrity to endorse the product. Tang Yuxin’s plan was to endorse the product while making a comeback. There were only advantages and no disadvantages to this plan.
If it weren’t for Lin Qiyuan, Tang Yuxin wouldn’t have chosen to be a star. However, Lin Qiyuan didn’t belong to her anymore and wouldn’t belong to her anymore. Her heart that wanted to be a star was still shaking.
“Are you a star because of Lin Qiyuan?” Tang Jin Chen could see through Tang Yu Xin’s thoughts with a single glance. At that time, he had been so determined to kick Lin Qi Yuan out of the entertainment industry. He had never been afraid of Tang Yu Xin’s thoughts. In this matter, he admitted that he was wrong.
“Brother, I’ve decided. I want to officially step into the entertainment industry, but it’s not because Lin Qiyuan is not for anyone. Since I have the talent to be a star, why would I go to so much trouble to find trouble for myself? If I had your help, I would definitely occupy a place in the entertainment industry. When would that be …” She naturally didn’t say her last sentence. At that time, Lin Qiyuan would only look at her differently. Of course, there was also the possibility of being even more annoying.
In Lin Qiyuan’s mind, he was treated like that by the company partly because of her.
If only Tang Jin Chen wasn’t his brother, or if he had never fallen in love with Lin Qiyuan.
Tang Yuxin took off a bracelet from her hand. It was Lin Qiyuan’s birthday present for her on her 22nd birthday. These days, this crystal bracelet was accompanying her. She suddenly remembered that she accidentally lost the bracelet when she took a shower in the bedroom. She didn’t know how it appeared in the trash can in the kitchen, but she finally found it after looking for it for a day.
Because of this matter, Tang Yuxin and Mother Tang had a big quarrel. Tang Yuxin said that you knew this was mine and threw it into the garbage can. Is there anyone who would do this to you?
A single sentence made the concern between mother and daughter worsen. Mrs. Tang did not know the importance of that bracelet to Tang Yu Xin. When she saw that bracelet in the bathroom, she thought that it was something Tang Yu Xin did not want. After all, that item was already very old.
Mother Tang explained briefly. Who knew that Tang Yuxin was even angrier to protect her bracelet because she was afraid that her mother’s muscles would be wrong and throw it away.
Tang Yuxin remembered that her brother had always protected him and cared about her. Suddenly, she fell in love with another woman one day. No matter what, she couldn’t be happy about this.
“Alright, since you are determined to be a star, I will do my best to help you.” Tang Jin Chen turns around and a firm smile faints on Jun Lang’s sharp face.
“I’ll go home first. Call me if there’s anything else.” As Tang Yu Xin spoke, her gaze fell on the sycamore tree outside the window. The withered leaves of the tree were bare in the air. Occasionally, there would be pedestrians passing by. It was somewhat bleak and gloomy.
When Tang Yuxin returned home, Tang Jin Chen drove to the company.
However, this time, the company was exceptionally lively.
Before entering, Zhang Xiaofei rushed over and said, “Manager Tang, you’re finally here. The phone that called you just now has been shutting down.” Zhang Xiaofei danced around with a sense of urgency.
Tang Jin Chen had a habit of turning off his phone in advance so as not to affect his meal with his family.
“What happened? I’ve made you so anxious!” Tang Jin Chen took off his shiny black suit and handed it to Zhang Xiao Fei. He was wearing a straight red and black plaid shirt. The originally wheat-skinned man looked shiny and fair. His lean and muscular body was wearing thin clothes and striding into the elevator with long legs. He could also hear the employees behind him discussing his figure.
“Manager Tang, Miss An is back.” Zhang Xiaofei followed behind Tang Jin Chen like a dog, holding his suit in his hand. An Zi Xi’s sudden appearance at the company really shocked him, so he immediately called Manager Tang, but the phone couldn’t get through.
There was a hint of hesitation as he stepped into the elevator. His expression was completely different from before. His sharp gaze was filled with all sorts of unfathomable expressions.
Her big palm clenched tightly into a fist, and anger rippled back and forth in her chest. It was a kind of joy that she had lost again, but it was also a kind of melancholy that changed the course of her life. That woman was willing to come back. Was she willing to stay by his side this time or did she have other plans?
“Where is she now?” His voice was cool, but he could tell that there was a hint of endured anger in his voice.
Zhang Xiaofei looked at the constantly changing elevator numbers and wished he had two mouths. Why was he so nervous when he heard Miss An coming back? It was obviously Manager Tang who was nervous.
“Miss An is currently waiting for you in the office.” As he spoke, he lowered his head. He felt that something bad would definitely happen.
After searching for so long, There was no trace of An Zixi. Just a few days ago, he saw a photo on the online forum. He finally found the address on the photo. An Zixi’s tracks also had some clues. He could also use this matter to get a raise. Who knew that An Zixi had actually returned on his own? This meant that all his previous efforts had been in vain. Thinking about this made him feel very uncomfortable.
Tang Jin Chen’s figure was tall and slender, and his back was still valiant. Zhang Xiao Fei did not enter, thinking that he would leave time and space for the two people inside.
It was as if An Zixi’s sudden arrival had shocked everyone present at the company. Did Manager Tang, who had been searching for so long, come back like this? Can Tang Jin Chen let An Zi Xi off with his fierce temper? Some people pinched their sweat for An Zixi, while others smiled in anticipation of something wonderful happening.
“You guys should hurry up and work. Be careful of Manager Tang getting fired. An Zixi is back today. If you don’t make it right, Manager Tang will get angry. At that time, no one will be able to take it anymore.” The manager of the office could not help but speak when he heard everyone discussing the gossip about Tang Jin Chen and An Zi Xi.
“What does An Zixi’s return have to do with us? She left even if Manager Tang treated her so well. Hmph, I don’t know who’s going to be in trouble.” A female colleague pretended to be the leader and said. Half of the women in the company were jealous of An Zixi. Why would she be able to do the easiest thing with the highest salary as soon as An Zixi entered the company? Sure enough, someone with a backer was different, and the backer was Manager Tang!
In the office, An Zixi was sitting upright on the sofa, his legs together, his neck slightly tilted forward, and his gaze landed on the retro copper bell opposite him.
She had been waiting here for two hours. Was that man really unwilling to see her?
Her fair skin was like a porcelain doll. Her delicate and shiny face seemed to be without powder. Her curly black hair was hanging on her shoulders like seaweed. Her eyes were black and large, mottled and clear like a deer’s. Her small and tall nose bridge, and her perfect lips painted with bright lipstick, formed a beautiful scenery.
After many days, when he saw this woman again, it was actually like this. It wasn’t because he had arrested her everywhere, but because he had come to pay his respects. There was a saying that said, “Weasel pays respects to chickens in the New Year.”
Tang Jin Chen pushed open the door and strode into the office. The woman only left him a back view. Was the woman under the back really the woman he dreamed of? Why did she suddenly feel a sense of melancholy when she looked back?
Hearing the commotion outside the door, he thought that Tang Jin Chen should be coming over. He maintained the stiff and numb smile on his face that he had practiced for a long time. He slowly stood up and turned around. The distance between the two of them was only a few feet, but it was like the horizon.
An Zixi wore a long black dress to his ankles, a black-and-white wool coat that did not appear to be abrupt. There was also meticulous embroidery on his sleeves, and a red scarf on his neck that did not match the one he wore.
Even though it had been so long, Tang Jin Chen still recognized the red scarf at a glance. It was his birthday, and An Zi Xi had personally knitted it for him. There was a hint of ridicule on his neck.
Tang Jin Chen knew that he must have another purpose for coming back this time, but he didn’t want to ask An Zi Xi what his purpose was. At this moment, he only wanted to embrace that woman.
The corner of An Zixi’s mouth curved upwards, her gaze carrying a faint smile. She put down the checked bag in her hand and offered to shake hands.
“Long time no see, Manager Tang.”
A calm and intimate “Manager Tang” instantly opened the distance between them.
Tang Jin Chen had an ice-cold face, and his gaze could see through An Zi Xi at any time. An Zi Xi had long been used to this kind of gaze, or rather, he was already immune.
Today was different from the past. She, An Zixi, had already given Tang Jin Chen a lot of face for being able to return. If she hadn’t seen the news about her on TV, she might have pushed and pushed her way back again and again.
Tang Jin Chen’s eyes met. He hadn’t spoken for a long time. Was the woman in front of him really An Zi Xi? He couldn’t see through her anymore. After such a long time, what had happened? Many questions lingered in his mind.
An Zixi saw that he was unmoved, so he could only awkwardly withdraw the hand that he wanted to shake hands with and show his respect.
“Manager Tang?” She asked again. She was already prepared to burn the boat this time. No matter what happened, she didn’t have the slightest bit of fear.
The man suddenly pulled An Zixi into his embrace, and a pair of large hands seemed to want to massage her into one with him.
An Zixi, do you know how long I’ve been looking for you? You ruthless woman, don’t you know anything? Did you miss me after leaving for so long and have been avoiding me? Why did you suddenly come back now? He had many questions he wanted to ask, but at this moment, he wanted to hold her all the time. Yes, just hold her.
An Zixi did not react. He staggered and fell into his arms. His nose was filled with his smell. A faint cigar mixed with the smell of cologne, as well as the fresh Molly flowers on his clothes.
A feeling of deja vu assaulted him. An Zixi was stunned for fifteen minutes, but he quickly regained his previous expression.
