Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Stranger
After taking the bus all the way to the orphanage entrance, An Zixi realized how crazy he was. But it’s fine. Anyway, it’s just to relax today, isn’t it?

He pushed open the door and walked in, but there weren’t many people around. There was only a girl he hadn’t seen before and three or five children beside the grape rack.

When the girl saw the two of them, she wiped her hands and walked over. With an apologetic expression, she said, “The two of you are here to collect … raise the child, right?” I’m sorry, but our steward is not here. Because today is the birthday of several children, the steward took them out to play. We should be back soon. Why don’t you two sit down first? Wait a minute. My name is Xiao Meng. I’m a new volunteer caregiver. ”

Volunteers, think about that sister back then. An Zixi’s eyes were filled with warmth.

An Zixi couldn’t help but shake his head. He wanted to say something. He looked at the few curious children with wide eyes. He asked, “Why aren’t they going?”

Xiao Meng looked at the children and said with a gloomy expression, “It’s all my fault that I didn’t take care of them properly. As a result, I made them have a fever. I was afraid that going out would aggravate it. So I had to stay at home. Fortunately, there were some places in the house where I could play with them. The oldest of them was only six years old, and the youngest was four years old.”

An Zixi walked over and teased them. Lin Qiyuan looked at Xiao Meng and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, we’re not. We’re also members of this orphanage. We’re just here to see.”

Xiao Meng was a little shocked. After all, most of the children adopted from the orphanage were five or six years old. Although they remembered things, they would forget the existence of the orphanage when they grew up. As for the two of them, very few people still remembered it.

An Zixi picked a grape and looked at one of the children with a sweet smile. “Sister, this is for you to eat. You should have eaten it. It’s sweet and tender. It’s especially delicious.”

The child stared at An Zixi with his big eyes wide open and shouted crisply, “Sister.”

An Zixi’s heart softened instantly, and he hurriedly skinned the grapes in his hand and fed them to him, touching the warmth on his face. Her eyes were filled with heartache.

Before long, they were going to have an examination. Although Xiao Meng wanted to say it out loud, she hesitated when she saw An Zixi’s happy expression and looked at Lin Qiyuan with a conflicted expression.

Lin Qiyuan nodded and walked to An Zixi’s side, saying softly, “It’s time for them to see a doctor. Let’s go. Next time, come back.”

Although he was very reluctant, An Zixi did not want to delay their examination. She gently pinched one of the children’s faces and said gently like a big sister, “You guys have to obediently do the examination, don’t you know? Otherwise, big sister won’t play with you.”

“I know, sister, you have to come and see us often,” the children answered in unison.

A few tender voices made An Zixi’s nose ache. Said with a smile, “Alright, I will definitely come and see you.”

An Zixi stood up and looked at them reluctantly, but he could only wave goodbye. After telling Xiao Meng a few words, she reluctantly left.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost evening, and An Zixi had no choice but to go back. Biting his lips, he said apologetically, “Xiao Qi, I’m going home. Thank you today.”

Lin Qiyuan laughed. He gently tidied An Zixi’s hair and said, “Be safe on the way. Call me if you need anything.”

“Alright.” An Zixi smiled happily, waved his hand at Lin Qiyuan, and drove back to An Corporation.

The smile on Lin Qiyuan’s face subsided. He looked at his watch and took out a phone to call his assistant. “Help me find a private detective to find out why An Zixi works for the Tang Corporation. The sooner the better.”

He took the car back to the crew. Because of the desperate efforts of the previous few days, he felt much more relaxed these past few days. In less than a day or two, the assistant sent the information over.

Lin Qiyuan had a shallow page and a few photographs in his hand. The moment his eyes touched the photos, he frowned. The information was complete and concise, revealing that An Zixi was on the verge of bankruptcy because of An shi. Tang shi had given An shi a large sum of money, and An Zixi had entered Tang shi the day An shi received the capital injection.

The two people in the photo behaved intimately, and their relationship didn’t seem to be as simple as the relationship between superiors and subordinates. They entered and exited the apartment together, and there was even one photo of Tang Jin Chen carrying An Zi Xi into and out of the apartment. Lin Qiyuan noticed that the dates on the photos were all from the past, and secretly lamented Tang Jin Chen’s methods.

Such a big piece of news, he was actually able to suppress the low water in the market without revealing it.

“I bought this photo by chance. The other party said that he had been secretly following Tang Jin Chen, but it took him a lot of energy.” The assistant stared at the photo and sighed in his heart. This was the first time he had the privilege of witnessing the news about the young master of the Tang Family.

Lin Qiyuan nodded. He finally understood the source of An Zixi’s unhappiness. He also understood why she was always sullen. It turned out that he had become An Zixi for the sake of An clan’s entry into the Tang clan. Furthermore, he had become Tang Jin Chen’s …

But how could Lin Qiyuan, who loved An Zixi wholeheartedly, dislike her because of this? Lin Qiyuan only hated himself for not being able to save her, letting her feel wronged like this.

Lin Qiyuan knew that An Zixi was trying his best to break away from the Tang clan.

Looking at the page in his hand, Lin Qiyuan felt that it was especially heavy. He didn’t expect that he would actually suffer such pain in his absence.

She couldn’t help but clench her hands tightly. His eyes were filled with determination.

He wanted to get busy, earn money to help An shi and help An Zixi break away from Tang shi. We can’t let her go on like this.

We must get An Corporation out of Tang Corporation!

Lin Qiyuan took out his mobile phone and called his manager. He said in a low voice, “Help me get a few more commercials for TV and movie performances … In short, the higher the fee, the better.”

“You don’t want to die!” The manager shouted angrily.

Lin Qiyuan’s lips curled into a smile and he said in a low voice, “It’s fine, go and pick it up. I’ll wait for your reply.”

The manager scolded and hung up the phone. Lin Qiyuan looked at the page quietly without saying a word.

He was annoyed, confessing.

He had clearly said that he would not let Lu Manman suffer any more. As long as she was in pain, he would definitely do his best to help her.

However, for An shi to be in such a great crisis, he was not by her side, but let her shoulder it alone.

Lin Qiyuan patted his head and sent a text message. With a quick glance, he picked up his clothes and quickly arrived at Newport Restaurant.

“Hello, I’m Lin Qiyuan.” There was no trace of exhaustion on his warm smile. Lin Qiyuan looked at the young woman in front of him and said politely.

The young woman looked at Lin Qiyuan and nodded in satisfaction, “That’s right, I have a few advertisements and micro movies here. If you’re busy, you can take them. The appearance fee will definitely not be low.”

“How dare you refuse? It’s a great honor to be admired by you. Please sit down.” Lin Qiyuan smiled and handed over the menu.

After a meal, the guests enjoyed themselves. The manager and Lin Qiyuan were walking along the road. At night, there were very few people.

“Why are you taking so many ads all of a sudden? Didn’t you hate taking a few at once the most in the past?” The manager suddenly asked.

“… If you have someone you like and see that she is helpless, you will also risk your life to help her. My little willful thoughts are nothing.” Lin Qiyuan paused for a moment and said shallowly.

The manager shook his head and stopped talking. The two of them walked back slowly. As soon as they returned, they began to prepare all sorts of things.

Lin Qiyuan hadn’t called An Zixi since there were so many notifications. He was so busy that he hardly had time to eat or think. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he felt much better and relaxed. Because he no longer needed to spend a lot of time thinking about why An Zixi lied to him and why he hid it from him. When he was busy, he would forget everything, and what he wanted was this feeling.

An Zixi naturally didn’t know what Lin Qiyuan was doing. But she always felt very disappointed, as if something had suddenly disappeared, and her heart was empty. In the past, Lin Qiyuan would often call her and treat her with extreme gentleness. He would take care of her, coax her, and even sacrifice his working time to accompany her for the sake of her happy smile.

But after what happened last time, he never looked for her again and didn’t even give her a phone call. To tell the truth, she was very disappointed, very sad, very disappointed.

An Zixi sat in front of the French window. The cold temperature of the floor spread to every inch of her skin through her thin clothes. An Zixi rubbed his hands on his exposed skin and sighed, “Xiao Qi, what’s wrong with you? Are you angry with me?”

Although he had no feelings for Lin Qiyuan, they were good friends. Growing up together, what she cared about the most was his friend, but what was going on now? Could it be that even he would start to hate himself and leave him? No, she can’t take it.

The phone was slightly hot in his hand. The number on the screen of the phone had been silently recited a thousand times, ten thousand times in his heart, but An Zixi still couldn’t do it. If he didn’t call her, how could she dare to call him casually? What if he was still angry or didn’t want to answer her phone, then what should she do?

Taking a deep breath, An Zixi decided that she shouldn’t think so much. No matter what, she couldn’t lose Lin Qiyuan as a friend. What she cared about the most was him. So what if she took the first step?

Gritting her teeth and pressing the button, An Zixi’s heart beat to her throat. To tell the truth, she was very nervous, more nervous than ever.

She was nervous not because of anything else, nor because she was afraid that Lin Qiyuan wouldn’t answer her phone, but because she didn’t know what to say or what to do, so that Lin Qiyuan could forgive her for cheating on him.

“Hello?” After the beep, someone finally spoke on the other end of the phone. It was Lin Qiyuan’s voice, and An Zixi could hear it clearly. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t say a word.

“Long?”

Lin Qiyuan did not expect An Zixi to call him on his own initiative. Although he was still complaining about her in his heart, he was still unwilling to neglect her. In his heart, An Zixi was the person he would always protect.

“Xiao Qi.” After a long silence, An Zixi finally spoke, “Are you busy?”

“Yes.” Lin Qiyuan replied softly, “Very busy.”

He wanted to show her extreme coldness and let her know how angry and sad he was, but when he heard her voice, he suddenly stopped being angry and felt distressed.

“Oh, then you should be busy.”

He didn’t dare to say any more. An Zixi wanted to hang up, but Lin Qiyuan still asked, “Is there anything you need to call?”

Not for anything else, he just wanted to hear her voice again. He didn’t see her for a few days and didn’t contact her for a few days. He missed her very much and missed her crazily, but he couldn’t take the first step. He didn’t even dare to call her on the phone.

An Zixi shook his head, “I’m fine, I just want to call you.”

Lin Qiyuan’s voice was still as gentle as ever. This gave An Zixi a great illusion. She almost thought that Lin Qiyuan was not angry with her anymore. But when she remembered that he hadn’t called her in a few days, she suddenly felt that Lin Qiyuan was still angry with her.

“Call me?” A trace of joy appeared in Lin Qiyuan’s eyes, but this joy was quickly replaced by disappointment. She had such a relationship with Tang Jin Chen. It was no longer possible between them, what else was he happy about?

An Zixi felt sad, but he didn’t know what to say. “Xiao Qi, are you still blaming me for what happened that day?”

Lin Qiyuan smiled bitterly. How could he not blame her? He had always thought that there were no secrets between them, but now it seemed that she had concealed a lot of things from him. He had never concealed anything from her, but she had always concealed something from him. Moreover, it was such an important matter. Why wasn’t he angry and didn’t blame her?

But after thinking about it carefully, they were just ordinary friends. She had never shown any love for him. Why would he meddle in other people’s affairs? He was not qualified to do so.

“Lin Qiyuan, have you finished calling?”

A sudden voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Qiyuan tightened his grip on the phone and said, “I won’t talk to you anymore. I still have things to do, so I’ll hang up first.”

“Yes.” An Zixi nodded, but the phone in his hand had already hung up.

Another wave of sadness and disappointment appeared. An Zixi straightened up. No, she wanted to find Lin Qiyuan. She wanted to explain it to him face to face. She didn’t mean to lie to him, but this matter, she had a hard time.

Without further hesitation, An Zixi had already put on his clothes and went downstairs.

After taking a taxi, the car quickly arrived at Lin Qiyuan’s entertainment company. An Zixi raised her head and looked at the building in front of her. She had never been here before. This was her first time. She was a little confused and did not know where to start looking.

After standing at the entrance for a long time, An Zixi did not enter. There were people constantly entering and leaving the entrance. She just stood in front of the flower bed beside her.

She didn’t want to go in, but she wanted to wait for Lin Qiyuan to come out. But Lin Qiyuan was so busy, how could he come out?

“Sigh.” Sitting on the edge of the flower bed, An Zixi bit her lips and looked up at the building that was about a hundred meters tall. She was not going to go in. She decided that she would wait for Lin Qiyuan to come out.

But by noon, Lin Qiyuan still hadn’t come out.

An Zixi decided to call Lin Qiyuan again.

“Xiao Qi, where are you?”

“I’m at the company. What’s wrong?” In the elevator, Lin Qiyuan picked up An Zixi’s phone. Within a day, she actually called herself twice. Isn’t that a little strange? Could it be that she had something she wanted to tell him?

An Zixi stood up from the flower bed, her back aching. The sun was so bright that she was about to faint from the sun. “Are you still busy?”

Lin Qiyuan was very busy because there was still one advertisement that he hadn’t filmed.

“Yes, I’m pretty busy.”

His voice was still gentle, and An Zixi could not hear anything wrong.

“Alright then, you’re busy.”

“Yes.” As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiyuan hung up the phone.

An Zixi held the phone in a daze. Lin Qiyuan had never done this before. He always had endless words. When he talked to her on the phone, he could always hear his gentle laughter. But today, he had never laughed again. An Zixi was sure that he didn’t laugh.

But why? Could it be that he still cared about her past and didn’t want to talk to her anymore? From now on, don’t pay attention to her anymore?

Looking at the revolving door for the last time, An Zixi did not want to wait any longer. Since he is very busy, then she should not disturb him and let nature take its course.

An Zixi tightened his grip on the leather bag in his hand and turned around to walk in the same direction as he walked back and forth. At this time, a car came out of the garage and passed by An Zixi.

Lin Qiyuan closed his eyes and listened to the song. An Zixi lowered his head and walked. The car drove by her side. She did not see Lin Qiyuan. Lin Qiyuan did not see her. None of them saw anyone.

An Zixi walked down the street in a daze, and her relationship with Tang Jin Chen was nothing much. Now that her relationship with Lin Qi Yuan had become so bad, she was really sad. She had originally thought that Lin Qiyuan was the only one in the world who knew her best, but now it seemed that he did not know her either.

At the company’s reception, Tang Jin Chen was dressed up to attend, and Li Yu was by his side.

Tang Jin Chen kept greeting the surrounding guests. Of course, it wasn’t Tang Jin Chen who took the initiative, but those people who came over. Tang Jin Chen only nodded slightly to indicate. He was in a bad mood. He was not interested in these banquets.

“What’s wrong? Are you listless?”

Li Yu saw Tang Jin Chen’s icy expression again and couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that the two of you haven’t made up yet?”

“Don’t mention her to me.” Tang Jin Chen felt angry when he thought of how she had left that day without any explanation. So many days had passed. She actually didn’t come to coax him. Her courage was really getting bigger and bigger.

“Don’t ruin all my interest on such a good day because of her.”

“What? You really haven’t recovered yet?”

Hearing what he said, Li Yu’s face was filled with disbelief. With Tang Jin Chen’s ability, what kind of woman could not handle it? This time, she was still in the cold war for so long. It seemed that it was really quite serious. Moreover, after careful calculation, it seemed that it had been quite a long time.

Tang Jin Chen shook his head coldly, “Not good.”

“Then don’t think about it. You came out just to be happy. What does it mean to have a straight face all day long? You’re just too serious.”

“Nothing interesting.” Tang Jin Chen raised his head and drank a glass of wine. Looking at the guests around him, he was in no mood.

“Oh, isn’t this President Tang? Long time no see.”

Behind him, someone patted his shoulder. Tang Jin Chen frowned and thought to himself, “When did he become so intimate with people? He’s still a man.” He had never had this hobby, and those who knew him knew his character.

“Manager Xu?” Li Yu took the lead in raising his glass and greeting, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Haha, I haven’t seen you either. How is it? What are you two busy with recently?”

President Xu said with a smile. He was a straightforward person.

Tang Jin Chen nodded and a polite smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“You’re being modest. What can I do? Compared to you, that’s nothing.”

Manager Xu wanted to say something, but a picture suddenly flashed in his mind. Before Tang Jin Chen could reply, he asked, “Hey, why haven’t I seen your wife?”

When Li Yu heard President Xu mention An Zixi, his entire brows knitted together. This President Xu, what’s wrong with mentioning An Zixi? Isn’t there a pot that doesn’t boil when mentioning An Zixi at this time?

Tang Jin Chen’s expression turned cold. Just as he was about to forget this matter, someone else mentioned it again. It seemed that An Zi Xi was about to take root in his life.

“She’s not here.”

“Is that so?” President Xu shook his head and sighed, “Why isn’t she here? I saw her at the auction last time and thought that President Tang’s eyes are very good.”

“Auction?” Tang Jin Chen frowned, “What auction?”

An Zixi went to the auction? Why didn’t he know?

“The older generation’s auction, but …”

At this point, Manager Xu seemed to have some misgivings and didn’t dare to continue.

Tang Jin Chen raised his eyebrows, “But what?”

Li Yu laughed and said, “Sigh, it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

“What you said is wrong. If I didn’t feel that something was wrong, I wouldn’t have said it out loud.”

Manager Xu obviously didn’t agree with Li Yu’s words. Judging from his behavior, Li Yu knew that this was the intention of the negotiation breaking down. This Manager Xu’s brain was simply too stupid. Could it be that he didn’t understand the meaning behind his words at all?

Tang Jin Chen naturally understood what Li Yu meant, but it was precisely because of this that Tang Jin Chen took the initiative to say, “What do you have to say, Manager Xu, speak directly.”
