Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Move Out of His Villa
An Zixi looked at An Heng in disbelief and felt a chill in his heart.

Who would have thought that even though he had done so much for An Corporation, he was still unable to match the rumors of Jieming and Li Qing?

Even though this was the truth, he did not even ask for it and felt guilty for himself. It really hurt An Zixi’s heart.

Tang Jin Chen was furious when he heard An Heng’s request and protected An Zi Xi behind him. He coldly looked at An Heng and said, “Although she is your daughter, you are not qualified to ask her to do anything.”

An Heng was speechless and didn’t know how to answer. The current An Corporation was also thanks to Tang Family’s money. Therefore, he was not qualified to say anything about Tang Jin Chen, nor did he have the ability to say anything about Tang Jin Chen.

Although An Heng did not expect that Tang Jin Chen would actually turn around and help An Corporation through this crisis so straightforwardly, An Heng could not guess Tang Jin Chen’s goal, but An Corporation really needed this money. An Heng still had some misgivings about Tang Jin Chen. After all, if he went too far, he would still swallow all of it.

Gritting his teeth, he couldn’t target Tang Jin Chen, he could only target An Zi Xi. After all, no matter what he said, he couldn’t let Tang Jin Chen make An Corporation a mess.

He never thought that his daughter would be so coquettish and desperate to seduce this enemy that his An clan almost broke up.

“If you don’t move back, think about what will happen to An shi. My Li shi isn’t that big, but it’s more than enough to destroy an An shi.” Li Qing suddenly opened her mouth and looked at An Zixi playfully.

If An Zixi really tried to seduce Tang Jin Chen for An Corporation’s sake, then how easy would it be for her, Li Family, to defeat a An Corporation? She really wanted to know what An Zi Xi would choose at this juncture.

An Zixi looked at Li Qing with some hatred. An Corporation was her weakness. That was why Li Qing had no scruples.

When An Heng heard this, he was instantly enraged. He pulled his face down and looked at An Zixi and said, “An Zixi! If you still recognize me as your father, quickly move back! Are you so guilty?”

An Zixi was a little tired. No matter what, An shi had nurtured her for so many years. However, she had done enough for An shi, but she did not expect that An shi would still stumble on her feet.

Forget it, who told her to owe it to An shi? Who let her be adopted by Su Wanyun?

She still had to take care of An Clan’s face.

Tang Jin Chen watched from the side, his heart filled with rage, but he didn’t know what to do.

After all, this was An Zixi’s family matter, so he really couldn’t interfere and couldn’t express his opinion. He cherished this stubborn yet weak woman in front of him. He knew that if he were to make things difficult for An Heng now, he would also be implicated in this woman whom he cared for. This was not what he, Tang Jin Chen, had expected. Tang Jin Chen clenched his hands tightly and felt this deep feeling of powerlessness for the first time.

An Zixi pursed his lips and said indifferently, “Alright, I’ll go back.”

As soon as these words were spoken, An Zixi’s three gazes were the most vivid.

Li Qing’s successful gaze, An Jieming’s hostile gaze, and Tang Jin Chen’s … incredulous gaze.

“Dad, since I’ve decided to go back, you can rest assured that I will keep my promise. With so many people coming and going, it’s not good to be laughed at by others. The chance of spreading rumors about life is small, and the impact on An Corporation’s image is great.” An Zixi said indifferently, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Disappointment towards An Heng, disappointment towards An shi.

Right now, she only wanted to properly repay An shi and get An shi out of this vortex. After that, she left An shi and the family that did not belong to her. She wanted to be free and give herself a chance to find happiness.

When An Heng heard this, he also felt that it was inappropriate. He said, “Then I’ll go back first. Hurry up and go home.”

An Zixi smiled bitterly and helplessly as she watched An Heng gradually leave. The liveliness in the surroundings slowly dispersed. Only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

“An Zixi” There was no one around. Tang Jin Chen whispered An Zixi’s name. She tightly clenched the Red Bean Acacia Buckle in her hand.

Could it be that they had only been expressing their thoughts for a few days before they started to miss each other?

If there was anything Tang Jin Chen wanted in the past. Without any hesitation, he would definitely fight.

But this time, he couldn’t continue fighting for An Zixi …

A woman is a blessing … but also a curse …

When the two of them returned home, An Zixi was packing his things back and forth. Tang Jin Chen crossed his chest and stood there looking at her. His expression was very ugly. Looking at An Zi Xi’s busy figure, his expression was violent, but there was no way to vent his anger.

As if sensing Tang Jin Chen’s burning gaze, An Zi Xi’s back was gradually stiffening towards his body. She bit her lips and stopped her movements. She turned around to look at him.

“Chen.” Her voice was gentle and exceptionally pleasant to hear.

Tang Jin Chen did not say anything, nor did he nod. He just looked at her. He knew that the next time he saw her, he would not be like this. They could be together anytime, anywhere, as long as he wanted.

An Zixi put down the item in his hand and walked towards him. He pulled his arm and tilted his head to ask, “What’s wrong with you? Are you angry with me?”

Tang Jin Chen shook his head, “How dare I?”

“What do you mean? What do you mean, how dare you? You know, I have no other choice.” An Zixi wanted to explain more, but he found that he was simply unable to speak.

Shaking off Tang Jin Chen’s hand, An Zi Xi was a little angry. Luckily, she was thinking of him, but he actually played with her child’s temper. Did he think that he was willing to move out just like that? There was nothing she could do.

Her eyes gradually turned red. An Zixi was stubborn. She raised her head and tried her best to make herself strong. However, when she separated from Tang Jin Chen and returned to the cold An Corporation mansion, she was the one who was in even more pain, wasn’t she?

Tang Jin Chen’s eyes turned red when he saw her. He couldn’t help but hug her tightly in his arms. “Sorry, I deserve to die. It’s me who deserved to die. At this moment, I actually have to show you my face.”

“I don’t blame you.” Her hands touched his firm back. The sweetness of the past few days had made her fall step by step. She was almost unable to extricate herself from the gentleness he had given her. But now, she suddenly discovered such a change. She really did not want to accept it, and was extremely afraid of accepting it. However, she had no choice.

Tang Jin Chen hugged her forcefully. He was so strong that he was about to rub her tiny body into his body. Pain assaulted him, but An Zi Xi did not say anything. She liked this kind of real feeling, as if only by hugging her so hard could she feel her own existence, feel his heartbeat, and know that he was still by her side.

“Don’t go, don’t go, okay?” Smelling the fragrance on her hair, Tang Jin Chen muttered, ‘I don’t want you to go. I really don’t want you to go.’

At this moment, Tang Jin Chen was no longer as indifferent as before. Instead, he looked like a child. The tone of his voice made An Zixi’s heart ache. An Zixi hugged his back and kept stroking him, “Chen, I just went to another place. It’s not like we haven’t seen each other. I’m still at the company. We can still see each other often. You don’t have to be so sad, okay?”

Tang Jin Chen listened to her words and shook his head. “That way, I won’t be able to see you every day, and I won’t be able to hug you to sleep every day. I still don’t want to.” Tang Jin Chen approached An Zi Xi and fiercely absorbed the fragrance that only belonged to her. “I’m already used to the smell of you beside the pillow.”

An Zixi felt that it was funny. This was the first time she had seen him like this. She was a little caught off guard. In the past, she had heard people say that a man who truly loved her would reveal her weakest side in front of her. She did not believe it, but now, when she saw Tang Jin Chen’s appearance, she believed it. She truly believed it.

“Fool,” An Zixi smiled and said, “I don’t want to either. Perhaps, after a while, my father won’t be so angry anymore. I can still move back. Maybe.”

Tang Jin Chen looked at her extremely serious face and nodded unhappily. This was the first time, he was not used to it and did not want to say anything else. Instead, he pointed at her small suitcase and said, “Go pack your things quickly, don’t worry about me.”

An Zixi nodded, but she was still a little worried about Tang Jin Chen’s emotions. After all, she had never seen him like this before, so she was a little scared. “Then I’ll go pack up?”

“Yes.” Tang Jin Chen had a cold expression on his face again. He was used to disguising himself very well, especially at this time, he needed to disguise himself even more.

An Zixi sighed and turned to pack his things. Seeing his clothes being taken out of his wardrobe one by one, An Zixi suddenly felt heartache. She had finally gotten used to the life here and finally got Tang Jin Chen’s love. Now, because of a few words from Li Qing, she was forced to go back by her father. Her heart was so painful that it could even be said to be dripping blood.

She was sad for the distance between the two of them that had been forcefully pulled apart, and also regretted that she could not hold out until the end.

An Zixi folded every piece of clothing she took off neatly. She just wanted to use this little bit of time to stay with him for a while longer.

However, minutes and seconds passed. An Zixi held the suitcase and stood in front of Tang Jin Chen. She didn’t know what Tang Jin Chen was thinking, but she only knew that he frowned slightly and had a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth. At this time, he was still smiling. Was he lying to her, wanting her to feel at ease?

“Chen, I have to go.”

“Yes.” Tang Jin Chen nodded and put his hand in her pocket. He was not prepared to help her carry her suitcase downstairs. “Be careful.”

“Aren’t you going to send me off?” An Zixi asked puzzledly, “Are you willing to let me go back alone?”

“Then don’t go back.” Tang Jin Chen was speaking the truth, but in An Zi Xi’s eyes, it sounded like a joke.

An Zixi smiled and said, “Are you a child? I can’t stay anymore since you’ve already reached this stage. Send me away.”

Knowing that An Zixi was speaking from the bottom of his heart, Tang Jin Chen approached her and picked up her small suitcase. The suitcase was very light. Tang Jin Chen only lightly lifted it and picked it up.

Tang Jin Chen revealed a puzzled gaze, but An Zi Xi chuckled and said, “What’s wrong?”

“The box is so light.” She had been packing in front of him for a long time, but how could the box be so light? Logically speaking, she should have packed a lot of things. Clothes, shoes, and some personal belongings, but it really didn’t seem like there were so many things in this small box.

An Zixi smiled but didn’t say anything. He directly turned around and went downstairs. Tang Jin Chen followed suit, but the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. She left everything in the house, didn’t she? She thinks she’ll be back soon, doesn’t she?

An Zixi got into the car. Tang Jin Chen stood in front of the car. An Zi Xi rolled down the window and looked at Tang Jin Chen’s clear outline. His heart ached, but he still smiled and waved his hand at him. “You go back.”

“Promise me one thing.”

An Zixi raised his eyes and said, “What is it?”

“Promise me that you will come back to see me once a week, at least once! No matter how far away you are, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how many obstacles you face, you must still come and see me!”

Tang Jin Chen’s words were extremely serious. An Zi Xi hurriedly nodded. She didn’t need Tang Jin Chen’s words on this point. As long as she could come out, she would definitely come to find him.

“Alright, I promise.” This time, she would definitely be able to do it.

“One more thing.” Tang Jin Chen said, “You must go to work in the company and let me see you.”

Looking at his serious expression, An Zixi couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Alright, I promise you this too, alright? Anything else?”

Tang Jin Chen shook his head with a stern face, “Nothing.”

“Yes.” An Zixi lowered his eyes and thought that he would have any more requests. He didn’t expect that he wouldn’t have any so soon. An Zixi raised his eyes to look at the house for the last time. This place she had lived in for so long, was he going to leave? Why would I feel so reluctant.

Tang Jin Chen nodded and whispered in her ear, “I love you.” An Zixi’s face turned red. He didn’t expect that Tang Jin Chen would actually say this to her at this time. He had to say that she was really touched. She nodded emotionally and lowered her head to look at the watch on her wrist. It was getting late, so she should go back. Otherwise, she would probably be scolded again.

“I have to go. You can go back.”

“I’ll watch you leave.”

An Zixi nodded helplessly and slowly rolled up the window. He said to the driver beside him, “Let’s go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the car rumbled and left.

When she returned to the An Clan’s mansion, no one greeted her at the door. An Jia was still as cold as she remembered, without warmth or laughter.

An Zixi got out of the car and stood in front of the door for a long time. She did not want to go in. Just smelling the smell of this place made her feel disgusted. However, there was nothing she could do. She had returned and was forced to ask for it. She had no other choice.

When they first entered, a servant greeted them. He lowered his head and respectfully received the luggage in An Zixi’s hand. “Miss, are you back?”

The servants were quite enthusiastic towards her, because An Zixi had not treated them coldly in the past, so these servants were also more enthusiastic towards her.

“Hurry up and go in. Master and Young Master are in the hall.”

The servant entered with his luggage, but An Zixi took a deep breath and walked in.

“Father.” Seeing An Heng, An Zixi bowed politely and greeted him. But when she saw Jieming, it was as if she hadn’t seen him. She hadn’t even looked at him with her eyes.

An Heng sat on the sofa and drank his tea. He did not show much enthusiasm or joy towards An Zixi’s arrival. On the contrary, he behaved coldly. He sat comfortably on the sofa and drank the best Pu’er tea. An Jieming sat beside him and sized An Zixi up and down.

“If father has nothing to say to daughter, daughter will go upstairs first.”

After An Zixi finished saying those words, An Heng still didn’t have much reaction. Instead, An Jieming sarcastically said, “What’s the use of you coming back now? Our An Clan’s face has been completely shamed by you alone.”

An Zixi sneered and looked at An Jieming, “Is that so? Then it’s not too late for me to go back now.”

After saying that, An Zixi lifted her foot, wanting to go upstairs to get her suitcase, but as soon as she took a step, An Heng shouted harshly.

“Come back!”

An Heng’s tone was very bad. An Zixi pursed his lips and turned to look at him. “Dad, do you have any instructions?” The evidence was stiff.

“What kind of place do you think the An Clan is? Come as you please, and leave as you please?” When An Heng thought of Li Qing’s mockery, he felt very uncomfortable. It was the first time An Zixi had embarrassed himself in front of so many people. This An Zixi was simply too disappointing for him.

“Father, you asked me to come back. I’m already back. What else do you want from me?”

An Zixi knew that once he returned, there would definitely be no good expression on his face. However, An Zixi did not intend to say anything else. In any case, it was an indisputable fact that they did not like her. Furthermore, she did not care.

An Zixi was used to their sarcasm. Since she had returned, she had already made preparations to accept all injustice and disgust.

An Heng was so angry that his entire body was trembling. An Zixi was too impolite to talk to her. He was completely disobedient. He was extremely angry and even wanted to slap her. If it was still useful to An Corporation in front of her, An Heng would have already made a move. “Let me tell you, Li Qing, don’t provoke me anymore.”

An Zixi felt that it was funny. What did An Heng say? Since when did she provoke Li Qing? It was always Li Qing who provoked her, wasn’t it? Sure enough, her father was still like this, and his interests were paramount. In his eyes, his daughter was nothing at all.

“Father, I just want to say that I didn’t provoke Li Qing. All of this was directed and performed by her. I disdain to have any conflicts with her.”

An Zixi’s attitude was tough, and An Heng was furious. “You … you can still say such things now?”

An Heng felt that the An Zixi in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

An Zixi looked at him coldly and nodded, “I’m telling the truth. If you’re fine, I’ll go upstairs first. I have to go to work tomorrow morning.”

Without waiting for An Heng’s reaction, An Zixi had already gone upstairs on his own. Looking at her resolute back, Jieming hurriedly added, “Father, look, Zi Xi is actually talking to you like this. Look …”

“Alright.” Fu Shou interrupted Jieming. An Heng sat down heavily on the sofa, his pair of shrewd eyes slightly narrowed. This An Zixi seemed to be much more stubborn, and he would probably not listen to him in the future.

An Heng raised his face slightly and his eyes turned cold, revealing an indescribable fierceness.
