Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 77
Chapter 77 Tang Yuxin’s Dream
“Perhaps they are worried about you.” An Zixi comforted. “As a girl, the entertainment industry is, after all, a complicated place. They don’t agree. I guess it’s because they’re afraid that you’ll suffer and suffer, and that you’ll be wronged.”
Tang Yuxin shook her head anxiously and retorted, “They care about me. They can’t ignore my thoughts and lock me up at home every day. I’m suffocated to death!”
Tang Yuxin had been staying at home ever since she returned home. She naturally cherished the love of her parents and the love of her brother. However, her parents were too nervous about her. Even if they had to ask people about her again and again, after a long time, this love had become a shackle and was imprisoned along with her dreams.
This showdown with her parents, she also mustered up the courage to speak. However, when she spoke, her parents asked everything. Apart from an objection, she could not say anything else. She was unwilling to be grounded at home like this. She wanted to pursue her dreams, to have her own friends, and to have her own world.
As Tang Yu Xin spoke, she put one arm on An Zi Xi’s arm and leaned her head against An Zi Xi’s shoulder.
An Zixi couldn’t bear to see her sad expression. Although she didn’t like Tang Jin Chen’s cold expression, Tang Yu Xin was exceptionally cute. She really liked her. After thinking for a while, An Zixi still asked, “Why do you want to be a star?”
“This is my dream.” Tang Yuxin’s eyes lit up when she said the word “star”. An Zixi knew that she really wanted to be a star.
An Zixi saw Tang Yuxin’s longing and saw her desire for her dreams.
An Zixi was adopted by the An family at the age of ten. Since then, she had been carefully living and working hard. In such a life, let alone dreaming, she did not even have the qualifications to arrange for her future.
It had to be admitted that at this moment, An Zixi even envied Tang Yuxin, her courage, and her hard work for her future. If possible, An Zixi even wanted to help her so that she could get closer to her dreams.
In the past, An Zixi did not have any specific concept of stars. All he knew was that they lived in the entertainment industry, under the spotlight, and were doted on by thousands of people. An Zixi guessed that those celebrities probably lived extremely carefree and comfortable everyday.
However, after reuniting with Lin Qiyuan, she realized that celebrities weren’t as comfortable as she thought. Privately, they were filled with bitterness and hardship that others didn’t know about. It was probably because of their different perceptions.
Tang Yu Xin blinked her big eyes and looked forward to the future. “Sister-in-law, do you think that one day, I will also become a star that attracts everyone’s attention?”
An Zixi nodded and gently stroked her long hair. “Yes,” he replied.
Tang Yuxin’s appearance was not inferior to her brother’s. Indeed, she was born from a mother. Both of their appearances could be said to be top-grade. In addition to Tang Yuxin’s adorable and clever personality, she would definitely become an independent scenery in the complex entertainment industry. She was loved by others. An Zixi was indescribably confident about this point.
Hearing An Zixi’s words, Tang Yuxin became even more confident about her future. However, she was still uncertain and asked, “Really?”
An Zixi did not answer her directly, but he suddenly asked with a straight face, “You came here this time to tell your brother about this matter?”
“That’s right. I hope he can help me. At the very least, he can help me convince one of my parents. Sigh, but I’m not sure if he will help me. How about …” A pair of small eyes moved to An Zixi’s body and Tang Yuxin revealed a crafty smile.
An Zixi’s body shrank back. Looking at Tang Yuxin like this, she had a bad premonition.
“What do you want to do?”
“Hehe.” Tang Yu laughed heartily and then leaned closer to An Zixi. “Dear sister-in-law, why don’t you help me, my most beautiful sister-in-law?”
“Can I help you?” An Zixi waved his hand repeatedly, “I can’t.”
An Zixi never felt that he could change Tang Jin Chen’s strength.
Of course, An Zixi knew what Tang Yuxin was up to and wanted her to persuade Tang Jin Chen? This was simply impossible. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just talk about Tang Jin Chen. He was like a smelly stone in a latrine. It was simply smelly and hard. She was also stubborn and arrogant, asking her to persuade him that even if she brought eight horses over, she probably wouldn’t be able to do so.
An Zixi refused straightforwardly. There seemed to be no room left, Seeing An Zixi’s firm response, Tang Yuxin’s heart sank. Her expression instantly froze. Without the laughter from a few seconds ago, her expression dimmed. She looked extremely disappointed. An Zixi could not see her dejected expression. In her heart, Tang Yuxin should always maintain her vigor and vitality. Her heart softened as well, so she could only nod her head, “Alright.”
“Really!” Tang Yuxin’s expression became dramatically lively again, and she jumped up excitedly. After circling around for a few times, she finally came to An Zixi’s side and gave her a few big kisses.
Tang Yu cried out as she kissed her, “Sister-in-law, I love you so much! I love you so much!”
Seeing her jump and scream, An Zixi shook his head helplessly. This little girl was really too cute. She was really helpless towards her.
But even if she wanted to help and told Tang Jin Chen what Tang Yu Xin was thinking, Tang Jin Chen might not necessarily listen to her. After all, he was a cold fellow, and he was afraid that he was powerless.
“Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?”
Seeing An Zixi not speak, Tang Yuxin hurriedly stopped and sat beside her. She asked carefully, “Did I make things difficult for you?”
“No.” An Zixi shook his head, “You didn’t make things difficult for me, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to help you. After all …”
Tang Yuxin saw An Zixi’s dilemma and was embarrassed to continue pestering him. Instead, she comforted An Zixi, “Sister-in-law, don’t take what I said too seriously. I understand my brother, and I will not easily change the decision. He and my parents are on the same side when it comes to grounding me. Actually, I don’t have much hope.”
“Tell me, you know your brother, then tell me, what does your brother look like?” An Zixi supported his chin with one hand and turned to look at Tang Yuxin. Suddenly, he became interested.
Tang Yu Xin smiled and looked calm. It was as if An Zi Xi’s question was an easy task for her. Tang Yu Xin imitated An Zi Xi’s appearance and raised her chin with her hand. She replied briskly, “My brother is the best brother in the world. Of course, he is also the best person in the world.” Tang Yu Xin paused for a moment before suddenly frowning. She pouted and continued, “I’m just a bit stubborn, a bit cold to outsiders, a bit harsh to talk about, and …”
Tang Yu Xin racked her brains and thought for a long time, but she did not think of Tang Jin Chen’s bad habits anymore. She concluded, “In short, he is still very good.”
An Zixi really couldn’t believe it. The Tang Jin Chen described in Tang Yuxin’s mouth was the same person as the Tang Jin Chen she knew. In Tang Yu Xin’s eyes, it was as if she wished she could put all the good words on Tang Jin Chen, but she couldn’t bear to say more about Tang Jin Chen’s bad words.
However, what Tang Yuxin said was magnified countless times by An Zixi.
Outsiders … also, in Tang Jin Chen’s heart, she was still an outsider.
An Zixi sat silently. Tang Yuxin sized An Zixi up a few times, but she still didn’t react. “Sister-in-law, isn’t the brother in your heart what I said?”
‘”I” An Zixi didn’t know what to answer for a moment. All she knew was that if she were to say that Tang Jin Chen was wrong, she could say dozens or even hundreds of them in one breath. However, when it came to Tang Jin Chen’s kindness, she didn’t know where to start.
Tang Jin Chen’s kindness … Even the occasional tenderness and pity that he rarely gave her couldn’t compare to the pain that his fickleness brought to her.
An Zixi’s tangled silence had completely changed in Tang Yuxin’s eyes. She smiled craftily and said to An Zixi, “Alright, alright. I won’t ask you anymore. Anyway, I know it in my heart.”
“What do you understand?” An Zixi was puzzled by Tang Yuxin’s words. She didn’t say anything, so how did she explain it clearly? Don’t think about it.
Tang Yuxin pretended to know what was going on in her chest and replied, “Of course, my brother dotes on you, loves you, likes you!”
Just as he finished speaking, An Zixi’s face couldn’t help but turn red. “Yuxin, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Tang Jin Chen doted on her, loved her, and liked her. This was something she didn’t even dare to imagine!
“Haha, sister-in-law, I was right, wasn’t I? You’re shy, you’re shy!” Seeing An Zixi blush, Tang Yuxin thought that she had admitted this fact and repeated it loudly. “My brother dotes on you, loves you and likes you!”
An Zixi felt even more embarrassed. He directly grabbed her arm and whispered, “Yuxin, stop talking.”
“Why can’t I say it? Being loved by my brother must be extremely happy.” After saying that, Tang Yuxin had already made a fantasy, and An Zixi was about to collapse due to her quarreling.
Anzi Xi had no choice but to reach out and scratch Tang Yu Xin’s itch. Tang Yu Xin laughed out loud because she was scratched and kept begging for forgiveness. However, Anzi Xi did not intend to let her go. Instead, she continued to scratch with a smile. Tang Yu Xin was not stupid and directly scratched back.
The two of them were very happy on the sofa. They did not see Tang Jin Chen standing by the door, raising his eyebrows. His gaze fell on the woman who smiled sweetly. He had never seen her smile so happily and so beautifully. Could it be that she was so unhappy by his side?
It was as if they felt an icy cold aura. The two of them were stuck in place. An Zixi raised his head and saw the expressionless Tang Jin Chen. He stood not far away and looked straight at her.
An Zixi gradually retracted his hand from Tang Yuxin’s, and the smile on his face gradually subsided.
When Tang Yuxin saw Tang Jin Chen, she was extremely happy. She directly stood up from the sofa and ran over. She grabbed Tang Jin Chen’s arm and said coquettishly, “Big brother.”
Tang Jin Chen gradually withdrew his gaze from An Zi Xi and turned to Tang Yu Xin, “You’re here. Did the driver send you here?”
“That’s right, I came to see you.” Tang Yuxin grinned, “You don’t know how much fun I had with sister-in-law.”
She said that he only heard the word “sister-in-law”. He had to say that he liked this term!
Tang Jin Chen pointed at the sofa and said to Tang Yu Xin, “Don’t stand there. Go sit down.”
Tang Yuxin nodded, “En, brother, come sit down as well.”
Upon seeing Tang Jin Chen coming over, An Zi Xi’s face turned cold. He thought that Tang Jin Chen would come back later, but he didn’t expect that he would come back so soon. What a nuisance.
Seeing An Zixi’s unhappy expression, Tang Jin Chen’s heart was still filled with anger. He walked to the sofa and Tang Yu Xin consciously gave them a seat. Let Tang Jin Chen sit beside An Zi Xi.
However, An Zixi didn’t seem to be particularly satisfied with this arrangement. Just as Tang Jin Chen sat down, An Zi Xi stood up and sat beside Tang Yu Xin. She didn’t care about Tang Yu Xin’s face and gave Tang Jin Chen a good look. An Zi Xi knew that his behavior was very childish, but she couldn’t control her emotions.
Tang Yuxin unconsciously broke out in cold sweat behind her back. She did not understand all of this. They were supposed to be intimate and nice, but why did they suddenly become so distant? The awkward atmosphere made Tang Yuxin feel restrained for a moment.
Tang Jin Chen’s gaze followed An Zi Xi all the time. From the moment she stood up until she sat down, his gaze was firmly locked onto her.
An Zixi’s Yu Guang noticed Tang Jin Chen’s gaze and didn’t care. She thought that the relationship between the two of them had become so stiff anyway, so she didn’t care about it being stiffer. She just followed her temper.
In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Tang Yuxin decided to sacrifice herself to enliven the atmosphere and said, “Brother, we were just discussing you.”
After saying those words with trepidation, Tang Yuxin secretly glanced at Tang Jin Chen’s expression.
Tang Jin Chen raised his eyebrows and turned to look at An Zi Xi, “Really? What did you say to me?”
“Say you …”
Before Tang Yuxin could finish her sentence, An Zixi immediately snatched her words and said, “Saying that you are outstanding in appearance makes people unable to let go of their desires!” As soon as she finished speaking, An Zixi wished he could slap her. What was she talking about?
‘”Puchi!” Tang Yu couldn’t hold it back and almost laughed out loud. Wasn’t this sister-in-law too cute? But she loved it.
Seeing Tang Yuxin burst out laughing, An Zixi turned around and glared at her. This little girl, what did she say wrong? She insisted on saying this. Wasn’t this embarrassing for her?
However, he didn’t think too much about it. An Zixi looked up at Tang Jin Chen and saw that he was looking at him with a complicated expression. He didn’t know what he was thinking.
The servant brought a cup of tea. This was Tang Jin Chen’s habit. When he entered the room, Tang Jin Chen turned his gaze to the tea. His slender fingers hooked up the cup and he drank it leisurely.
Tang Yuxin could see through them now. The auras of these two people were too strong for her to accept. Thinking of this, Tang Yuxin stood up from the sofa. Seeing her stand up, An Zixi immediately stood up and said, “Yuxin, what are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Tang Yuxin forcefully suppressed these words, then glanced at Tang Jin Chen and said, “Brother, then I’ll leave first.”
“Let’s go?” An Zixi frowned. She did not expect that Tang Yuxin would abandon her so quickly.
Tang Yuxin nodded seriously. “Yes, yes, I’ve been out for so long. My parents should be worried later. I have to go back.”
An Zixi didn’t care if she was fine or not, he directly grabbed her arm and whispered, “Accompany me again.”
Hearing this request, Tang Yu Xin hurriedly shook her head, “I’d better go back.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Tang Jin Chen put down the tea set and glanced at An Zi Xi, “You haven’t told me yet, what did you discuss about me today?”
At this moment, An Zixi only wanted to find a pillar to send him flying, but he didn’t expect Tang Jin Chen to be so persistent.
Tang Yu Xin faked a smile and pulled An Zi Xi out to grab her arm. “Then let sister-in-law tell you everything carefully. I’ll leave the matter between you and your husband to you and your wife to settle by yourself!”
Hearing this, Tang Jin Chen became excited. He no longer wanted to stay. He nodded slightly at Tang Yu Xin and said, “Then let the driver send you back first.” After saying that, he turned to look at An Zixi with an ambiguous expression. “If you discuss my words, I’ll leave her alone … Tell me about it properly …”
