Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 46
Chapter 46 Invitation From Lin Qiyuan
Seeing An Zixi’s nervous expression, Lin Qiyuan asked, “Long Mo, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so nervous? Is something wrong?”
An Zixi could not calmly answer Lin Qiyuan. As she ran downstairs, she said, “Xiao Qi, if I have something to do, I’ll leave first. Well, contact me next time. Bye-bye!”
Looking at An Zixi running in panic along the way, Lin Qiyuan’s smile unconsciously gradually spread out. The current Lu Manman looked really cute. Lin Qiyuan rubbed his nose and smiled gently. The pampering at the corner of his eyes was about to melt everything cold.
The last time I met An Zixi, An Zixi was just a little girl sitting in an orphanage secretly wiping away her tears. Now it looks like it’s alive and kicking. From the looks of it, An Zixi listened to everything he said without missing a single word. As Lin Qiyuan thought about it, he put on his mask and walked downstairs.
“Where have you been? There are so many people here, and if you are recognized later, you will be surrounded. Really, can you let me catch my breath?” Seeing that Lin Qiyuan had appeared, the manager who had been searching for Lin Qiyuan in the hall hurriedly ran over and complained.
Lin Qiyuan nodded and said, “We went to the stairwell alone for a while. It’s too noisy here. Let’s go.” As he spoke, he walked out.
When An Zixi ran to the coffee shop, she was almost out of breath. She panted heavily and propped herself up on the counter. Then, she said to the waiter, “A latte coffee, ten times the sugar!”
The waiter’s hand trembled in disbelief. Then, he looked at An Zixi and asked, “Miss, is it four times the sugar?”
“No, no, it’s ten times, ten times the sugar.” An Zixi shook his head and looked resolutely at the waiter. He had an unquestionable look on his face.
One latte, ten times the sugar. This kind of arrangement could be considered weird. The waiter thought to himself that he had worked in this coffee shop for several years. No more than ten customers came across quadruple sugar. This girl said ten times the candy as soon as she arrived. She simply couldn’t believe it. “Miss, you said four times, right? FOUR? Right?” He asked again, slightly trembling.
An Zixi felt a little funny in his heart. Haven’t he seen a customer who was ten times sugar before? This time, he must play a good trick on Tang Jin Chen to see if he dares to let her buy coffee in the future! So he said firmly, “Not four times, yes, ten times. TEN. Hurry up, I’m in a hurry. Remember, ten times the sugar. If it’s not ten times, I’ll come find trouble with you.”
The waiter had never seen such a weird customer before and could only agree to make coffee. She secretly sized An Zixi up in her heart and thought to herself. This woman looks very normal. Why does she have such a strong taste? It’s been a long time, there are all kinds of people.
An Zixi didn’t care about him, but secretly smiled in his heart, thinking about Tang Jin Chen’s expression when he drank this cup of coffee. As he thought about it, his smile was already on his face. The waiter who was about to pass the coffee to An Zixi looked at An Zixi’s stupid appearance. So she whispered, “Miss, your coffee is ready.”
Only then did An Zixi regain his senses and hurriedly rummaged through his bag for change. Then hurry back.
Tang Jin Chen, this time, I’ll let you try to bully me.
“Manager Tang, your coffee. Latte. Drink while it’s hot.” As An Zixi spoke, a teasing aura rose.
How could Tang Jin Chen not be able to tell that this cup of coffee must have been tampered with by An Zi Xi? Tang Jin Chen nodded, picked up the coffee, opened the cup and sniffed. She almost sneezed from the smell of cream. Originally, he wanted to get angry. However, when he raised his head, he saw An Zixi’s expression of anticipation.
Was this little girl waiting for him to embarrass himself?
Tang Jin Chen smiled, then closed the cup of coffee and said, “An Zi Xi, you’re too slow.” I don’t want to drink anymore, what should I do? But I think it’s a little wasteful not to drink. Otherwise, you should drink it for me. It’s more economical, isn’t it? You know. We in Tang Corporation have always been frugal. So you drank it for me. I thought you liked latte, too. “Right?”
An Zixi almost bit his tongue by his words. Why don’t you drink this cup of coffee yourself? Then why don’t we just let her die? An Zixi waved his hand and said, “No, no, Manager Tang, how can I drink your coffee? And I don’t like latte. I don’t like latte at all. You’d better save money by another person.”
‘”What? Don’t I know what you like? Are you saying indirectly that I don’t care about you? So I don’t even know what kind of coffee you like to drink. I’m really a little sad now. How about you drink this cup for me today, and tell me what you like to drink in the future?” As he spoke, Tang Jin Chen brought the coffee to An Zi Xi.
An Zixi retreated to the side and said with a smile, “Well, Manager Tang, it’s better to wait until the next time you know my taste. I still have something to do. I’ll go first.” As he spoke, he wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet and flee.
Seeing that An Zixi wanted to run away, Tang Jin Chen grabbed her and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? An Zi Xi, are you afraid that I’ll do something to you? You bought the coffee yourself. Could it be that there’s something wrong with this cup of coffee?” Then he looked at the coffee on the table and continued, “I thought you were serious about me. I didn’t expect that you were just lying to me. You even thought about how you could harm me by buying a cup of coffee. I’m really a little disappointed.”
An Zixi’s face instantly turned red as he replied, “Yes, I just wanted to mess with you. So I deliberately put laxatives in the coffee. I told you to go to the hospital in a while.”
Tang Jin Chen said with a sad expression, “An Zi Xi, do you hate me so much? Are you really not willing to give me any chance of survival? You just hope that I will go to the hospital. Then you don’t have to see me, do you?”
Slowly, an indescribable atmosphere rippled through the air. An Zixi looked at Tang Jin Chen and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although Tang Jin Chen really enjoyed ordering her around lately. But it seemed like he had gone a little too far to add ten times the sugar to his coffee.
An Zixi thought for a moment, then directly snatched the coffee from Tang Jin Chen’s hand and drank it all in one gulp before Tang Jin Chen could react.
When An Zixi finished drinking the coffee in the cup, the taste spread out from the tip of his tongue. The sweet and greasy feeling almost made An Zixi want to cry. She herself doesn’t like sweet things very much. It was really unacceptable to drink such a strong taste of coffee right now.
Tang Jin Chen was also shocked by An Zi Xi’s actions. He walked over and snatched the cup from An Zi Xi’s hand, only to find that An Zi Xi had already finished drinking it. “Anzi Xi, don’t you want to die? I smelled the coffee just now. It must have been filled with sugar. Don’t you like sweetness? Really.”
An Zixi choked on the smell and waved to Tang Jin Chen, indicating that he was no longer able to speak.
What a stupid woman. Tang Jin Chen looked at An Zi Xi’s appearance and was extremely anxious in his heart. Originally, he was teasing An Zi Xi, but he didn’t expect An Zi Xi to actually take it seriously. He drank it all in one breath. He really didn’t want to die.
“Stop talking. Quickly go to the bathroom and spit it out. Really.” Tang Jin Chen said anxiously. He then pushed An Zixi towards the bathroom.
An Zixi rummaged in the bathroom for a while before gradually regaining his senses. Then, he looked at himself in the mirror. Because of the stimulation from the coffee, his eyes were already extremely red. But now, his stomach was still churning. He couldn’t help but regret the idea he had just had.
“An Zixi, are you feeling better?” Tang Jin Chen anxiously asked.
An Zixi didn’t have the strength to speak, and he barely managed to stand on the sink. And then a little dizzy. Ignoring Tang Jin Chen’s words, he continued to suck in a breath of air.
At this time, the phone was not in time to remember. An Zixi originally didn’t have much strength in his hands. It took a lot of effort to get the phone out of his pocket.
“Long, well, I was just asking you. When are you free?” Lin Qiyuan’s voice came from the phone. An Zixi suddenly felt that the strange feeling on his body had weakened a little.
An Zixi tried his best to control his aura and then slowly said, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong? Or do you want to invite me to dinner?” His tone was a little soft, but it wasn’t because he would speak softly to Lin Qiyuan, but because he really didn’t have the strength to do so now.
On the other hand, Lin Qiyuan heard An Zixi’s voice. He felt that it was somewhat different from An Zixi he had seen during the day. “Well, I think we should go back together sometime. What do you think of our orphanage when we were young?” He said with a hint of joy in his heart.
Before An Zixi was adopted, that orphanage was the only world An Zixi knew about. Unfortunately, when he left, he began to slowly realize the breadth of this world, as well as his own insignificance. That place carried a lot of An Zixi’s happiness. Her happiness with Lin Qiyuan.
Now, Lin Qiyuan actually took the initiative to ask her to go back there to retrieve her childhood memories. It was truly memorable.
Lin Qiyuan waited for a while, but did not hear An Zixi’s reply. He thought An Zixi did not want to go but could not find an excuse to refuse him. He said in his heart, “Long time, if you don’t want to go, then forget it!”
“No, I want to go. I’ll see you at the orphanage on Saturday afternoon. I still have something to do. I’ll hang up now.” An Zixi hurriedly hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and then lay on the edge of the sink and started to retch.
