Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Surprise
An Zixi ran out without turning back. Tang Jin Chen’s gaze followed her back. His gaze was deep. Although he was exposed to the bright lights, his expression was unfathomable. No one could guess what he was thinking.
The people beside him were still mocking and mocking, but none of them were in his ears. All he could think of was the glance An Zixi had before he left.
His eyes were filled with grievances that were branded on the tip of his heart. The feeling was indescribable, but it was painful to the bone.
He couldn’t say what he felt in his heart, but it was as if he had to admit that his feelings towards An Zixi were beginning to change.
A graceful young master wearing a white dress walked over. He saw a red wine cup in his hand and a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
“Tang Jin Chen, aren’t you going to chase after him?” He walked behind Tang Jin Chen and asked softly. The smile in his eyes had never changed.
Tang Jin Chen looked back at him and did not say anything.
The man continued to ask, “Do you really not care that this girl ran away?”
Tang Jin Chen frowned and said coldly, “You’re too broad-minded.”
After saying that, Tang Jin Chen walked inside, ignoring the teasing of the man.
Li Yu still shook the wine cup in his hand. His slender fingers held the wine cup and slowly sent it to his mouth. The red liquid entered his mouth as he moved, and the wine fragrance overflowed.
Just as a waiter passed by, Li Yu casually put the empty wine cup in his hand onto the plate.
He watched Tang Jin Chen walk in the direction and murmured, “For the sake of my good friend for many years, I will help you, hehe.”
An Zixi walked aimlessly on the road after leaving the scene of the reception.
She was wearing high heels, so she didn’t walk very fast.
An Zixi turned around and looked at the reception that was still not far away. The lights were brightly lit. At this time, she actually had a trace of hope for Tang Jin Chen.
She thought that Tang Jin Chen might chase after her and explain to her, but there was nothing.
She, An Zixi, had never been a coquettish young miss. She had no habit of being coquettish with others. Most of the time, she was as hard as a turtle’s shell, invincible. Perhaps only strong and brave could teach her how to survive. She had known this since childhood.
But Tang Jin Chen was actually so indifferent to other people’s accusations against her. He even acquiesced to other people’s words, so where did he put her, An Zi Xi?
An Zixi couldn’t help but feel a little palpitated. Since when had he been able to ignore the words of others, but he had begun to care about Tang Jin Chen’s attitude.
If she could not achieve a satisfactory conclusion, then she would choose to leave arrogantly. This was the demeanor that she, An Zixi, should have.
An Zixi no longer paid attention to the still bustling reception. She just wanted to leave this place quickly.
However, the big red high heels on her feet were very troublesome. If she walked faster, she would feel a heart-wrenching pain.
An Zixi squatted down and took off his big red high heels, walking barefoot on the road.
Suddenly, a cold breeze blew over. Under the cold breeze, small particles appeared on his bare shoulders. An Zixi crossed his arms in an attempt to warm his body up a little.
After Li Yu chased after him, his eyes were searching everywhere.
He fixed his target not far away as if he had seen something, and then a comfortable smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.
The woman in front of her was dressed in a small black gown, showing off her curvaceous figure. Her small face was the size of a palm, and her big bright eyes flickered like stars in the sky. Her small lips were pink, and her small white feet stood unnaturally on the ground. In her hand, she was holding the pair of ridiculously red high heels with high heels.
An Zixi looked at the man in front of her, his tall figure, white dress, and a handsome sunny face hidden in the dim night.
“An Zixi.” Li Yu raised his eyebrows and whispered her name.
An Zixi nodded. She wasn’t sure who the man in front of her was, so her eyes revealed vigilance.
Seeing the vigilance in An Zixi’s eyes, Li Yu smiled and said, “Indeed, Tang Jin Chen has his eyes on him.”
Upon hearing Li Yu’s words, An Zixi looked at him doubtfully. Could it be that they knew each other? Thinking of this, she asked, “Do you know Tang Jin Chen?”
Li Yu looked at her with amusement. “Not only do I know her, I have also been friends for many years. I supervised several projects for Jin Chen in the Tang Corporation, but I’m basically not in the company.” Li Yu said confidently, “We met the day we fired Little Zhang at the Tang clan.”
“Xiao Zhang?” An Zixi frowned and recalled the situation that day. It took him a while to match the person in front of him with the current leader who was laughing and eavesdropping.
An Zixi knew very little about Tang Jin Chen’s personal situation. This person in front of her claimed to be Tang Jin Chen’s good friend for many years, so it made sense. Tang Jin Chen’s attitude towards him on that day was different from his usual kindness towards his employees. She actually automatically colored Tang Jin Chen’s heart with warmth because of this, and forgot his nature as a capitalist.
Thinking of this, An Zixi couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It turned out that the Tang Jin Chen she saw had only been beautified by herself.
“Did you come out for me? Did Tang Jin Chen ask you to look for me? Or?” An Zixi asked uncertainly. There was actually a trace of expectation, but other than this, she could not figure out what the person in front of her wanted to find her for.
“Of course Tang Jin Chen doesn’t know.” What a joke. Wasn’t it to let him know that he had come to find An Zixi to endure the gaze of his thousand-year-old ice? Of course, he wouldn’t let him know, at least not for the time being.
“Since Tang Jin Chen didn’t ask you to come find me, then what are you doing here?” An Zixi didn’t seem to have a good expression towards the person in front of her. At least, she wouldn’t have a good expression until she forgave Tang Jin Chen.
Li Yu looked at her for a moment, then raised his head to look at the horizon. “I saw everything that happened at the reception just now.”
An Zixi was originally unsure, but now she was starting to get a little angry. Her little face was tense, “So, you came to mock me too.” She knew that Tang Jin Chen had nothing good to offer.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, “How could that be? I don’t have the time.”
The little woman in front of him was really covered in thorns. She didn’t know how Tang Jin Chen would subdue her.
An Zixi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn’t mean to laugh at him. Since the other party was not here to provoke her, there was no need for her to stand there and blow the cold wind.
An Zixi intended to go around him, but Li Yu raised his arm to stop her.
“Why did you leave before I finished speaking?” Li Yu asked. He hadn’t said anything serious yet, so why was this woman leaving?
“First, you’re not here to mock me. Second, Tang Jin Chen didn’t ask you to come. Then there seems to be nothing more to talk about between us.” An Zixi rolled his eyes at him.
An Zixi, this woman, is there a need to draw the boundaries so clearly?
Li Yu was puzzled. He didn’t stop her anymore. He only said slowly, “Sigh, I’m just sorry for Tang Jin Chen.”
Hearing his words, An Zixi immediately stopped and turned his back to him.
Li Yu continued to speak as if no one else was watching, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have had to arrange any surprises for Tang Jin Chen. The heroine has already left, and no one would have watched the surprises anymore.”
An Zixi turned around and looked at him, “What do you mean? What surprise?”
“Aiya, did I just say something?” Li Yu looked at An Zixi in horror and covered his mouth.
An Zixi looked at him and nodded.
“Since you already know, I won’t hide it from you. Tang Jin Chen once arranged a big surprise for you, but it’s a pity that you left.” Li Yu gave An Zi Xi a miserable expression.
An Zixi shook her head. She did not believe it, not only did she not believe it, she could not believe that such an indifferent man would prepare some so-called pleasant surprise for her.
At this moment, An Zixi was very clear about Li Yu’s purpose. He was a good peacemaker, but he didn’t treat her like a three-year-old child and created a pleasant surprise.
An Zixi said to him, “Don’t lie to me. I won’t believe you. Although you have a good relationship with Tang Jin Chen, you only met me once. You can leave.”
Li Yu did not understand. He only felt that this little woman’s personality was so stubborn. Such a woman was really Tang Jin Chen’s dish. After all, what he couldn’t get was always in a commotion.
After thinking for a while, Li Yu still decided to tell the story of that day.
Although Little Zhang spilled the beans, Tang Jin Chen immediately gave a notice of dismissal. He knew that the woman in front of him did not know what Tang Jin Chen had prepared for her.
“Do you know what kind of surprise he prepared for you?”
An Zixi pursed her lips. She had only heard Little Zhang mention this matter before. Later on, he was dismissed. On the day when he dismissed Little Zhang, An Zixi had also asked around, but Tang Jin Chen did not say a word. She thought that it was just a joke between Little Zhang and her. How could she know what he had prepared for her?
Li Yu had said so much, but she was still skeptical. Judging from Tang Jin Chen’s attitude towards her today, she did not believe it at all.
“Sigh.” Li Yu looked at An Zixi with a confused expression and couldn’t help but sigh. He had always known that Tang Jin Chen was not good at expressing himself, but if he really cared for someone, it would be the most considerate love. “Looks like you don’t believe me.”
“I don’t believe it.” An Zixi didn’t want to talk to him anymore, so he lifted his foot and left.
Seeing that she was leaving, Li Yu hurriedly stood in front of her. A huge shadow pressed down. An Zixi frowned and looked up at Li Yu. “What exactly are you trying to do?”
“Are you really not going to listen to my pleasant surprise?”
An Zixi turned around. She didn’t want to hear it. She didn’t want to hear it at all.
Li Yu didn’t want to go in circles. Instead, he directly said, “Do you know why he hasn’t come home to see you a few days ago?”
An Zixi’s heart tightened. Tang Jin Chen hadn’t returned home for a while, but at that time, she only knew that Tang Jin Chen always had endless meetings in the company and was busy with endless things. She thought that he actually didn’t want to go back to see her, so how could she believe that he had unexpectedly prepared some surprises for her?
“Tang Jin Chen has always been a person who only gives silently and is not good at explaining. However, I have seen everything he has done to you.” Li Yu then spoke of Tang Jin Chen’s kindness. Although his words were a bit old-fashioned and fleshy, they came from the bottom of his heart.
One had to know that Tang Jin Chen and An Zi Xi were in an awkward situation. They were the direct victims, but he, Li Yu, did not want to endure Tang Jin Chen’s cold face anymore.
An Zixi raised his head in confusion. Seeing that Li Yu did not look serious, his heart inexplicably softened. “I didn’t get it.”
“He once asked his secretary to arrange a dance for you. It belongs to only the two of you.”
An Zixi had never heard of this matter, and Tang Jin Chen had never mentioned it to her.
“Ball?”
Li Yu nodded, “That’s right, a ball. Originally, it was prepared by Xiao Zhang, who was following him, but Xiao Zhang told you too much. I didn’t expect that he would dismiss him in a fit of anger.” Speaking of which, Li Yu still had a trace of guilt towards Xiao Zhang. However, he did not expect that Tang Jin Chen would be so nervous when he encountered An Zi Xi, and he actually fired an employee because of a single sentence.
“Little Zhang was dismissed after that. He planned the dance by himself. The company’s overseas expansion project started a while ago, and he was also very busy. The reason why he didn’t come home all night was because he was busy with the company’s business during the day and went to prepare for the dance at night.”
Li Yu paused for a moment and suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone from his bosom and handed it to An Zixi a few times. “You see, I have a photo as proof. I’m not making this up. You must believe me this time.”
Li Yu was secretly delighted with his wise actions. Back then, he only wanted to leave behind evidence to scold Tang Jin Chen in the future, but he didn’t expect it to become a key evidence now.
Smart, really smart.
Li Yu looked at An Zixi’s dazed expression and continued, “I’ve never seen him take such a fancy to any woman before …”
An Zixi could no longer hear what Li Yu had said. The word “dance” only echoed in her mind. In the photo, Tang Jin Chen was busy and exhausted.
He had actually prepared a ball for her, even as she scolded him.
But on the day he returned home, she was angry with him and ignored her. Wasn’t he very angry? An Zixi frowned, but he didn’t know what to do.
“Now, you should understand, right?” Looking at the woman in front of him with her head lowered, Li Yu thought that she understood and asked.
An Zixi raised his head in confusion, “Understood what?”
Li Yu’s face was black. Was he not clear enough? She actually didn’t know what he meant.
“I know he likes you!”
An Zixi’s breathing stifled. He shook his head and said, “Impossible. It’s impossible for him to like me.”
“Why not?”
“It’s just impossible.” He was so indifferent to her, and he was always angry with himself. How could he like her? This was impossible. Tang Jin Chen would not like anyone because he liked himself.
Li Yu didn’t understand, “Why don’t you believe me? We can see what he did for you and what he meant to you. Why don’t you believe me?”
“Are you saying that Tang Jin Chen …” An Zi Xi lowered his eyes and looked up at Li Yu again and again. In the end, he still couldn’t understand, “Then why would he embarrass me in front of everyone?”
“Well,” Li Yu walked back and forth for two steps before stopping. “Didn’t you give him a good look these days?”
