Chapter 212: Feeling Resentful
Although I had clearly stood on Jiang Yichen's side just now, the fierce competition between him and another person, coupled with the gazes of many colleagues around, made the scene extremely embarrassing.
I know very well that Jiang Yichen did not get angry with me this time because he tried his best to restrain himself.
What he raised was quite pertinent. I should indeed keep an appropriate distance from Zhao Ning to avoid our relationship becoming increasingly delicate and awkward in the future.
Once what happens today, everyone in the company will be talking about it tomorrow, and all kinds of speculations and rumors will be flying around.
Thinking of this scene, I can't help but feel a headache.
Seeing that I hadn't responded yet, Jiang Yichen mistakenly thought that I was still attached to Zhao Ning. His face suddenly darkened and he said coldly, "Why, are you still interested in him?"
His low and slightly chilly voice was like a gust of cold wind blowing past, making my heart tremble.
I frowned and looked at him with a puzzled look on my face. After a long time, I answered in a low and firm voice: "No, it's getting late. Let's go back first."
I really don't want to argue with him outside and add to his troubles.
However, along the way, I could still clearly feel the suppressed and low aura from Jiang Yichen, as if the entire space was shrouded in his low pressure.
As soon as we got home, he couldn't wait to drag me into the room, and his slightly rude behavior frightened me again.
I asked in confusion, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Yichen pressed on step by step, and I retreated again and again, finally falling on the bed, looking up at him. His eyes were cold and his tone was icy as he asked, "You have been sleeping in a separate room from me recently, is it because of that man?"
When people are on the verge of extreme helplessness and anger, they can actually laugh out loud out of anger.
I couldn't help but ask, "Isn't my position clear enough?"
I explained helplessly, "If I really separated from you because of Zhao Ning, why did I resolutely reject him just now?"
But he refused to give in and continued, "Yeah, haven't you been angry with me all the time just to partner with him? Why didn't you accept his confession just now? Are you afraid that he will know that you are pregnant with my child, so you dare not agree?" As he pressed on step by step, his words became more and more vicious. I gritted my teeth and glared at him.
"You have been hesitant and unwilling to keep the child. Is it because of him? Do you want to abort the child and stay with him?"
He asked almost frantically. Looking at him out of control, I felt exhausted and tired.
"I don't plan to have this child because you are about to get married to Lin Nan. Once this child is born, he will be labeled as an illegitimate child. If you really care about me, you shouldn't let me keep him, and you shouldn't suspect that I have an affair with someone else without reason." I expressed it calmly and firmly.
Facing my determination, Jiang Yichen showed a trace of helplessness and responded coldly: "I have told you countless times that I will not be with Lin Nan. Why do you always worry about something that has never happened?"
I raised a bitter smile, stared at him, and whispered back, "The news of your engagement has spread everywhere, how can I not take it seriously? Every time I ask you the reason, you always remain silent."
I……
Jiang Yichen wanted to explain further, but I raised my hand to stop him: "No need to explain to me, I don't want to know. I'm very tired now and need to take a shower and rest."
I stood up and tried to leave, but he pushed me back. He walked quickly to the door, locked it, and warned me coldly: "If you dare to step out of this door today, you will never be able to go to work again."
I glared at him, filled with anger: "You are simply unreasonable!"
I clutched the bed sheet tightly and shouted angrily, but the shouting was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any ripples.
I had no choice but to hold my breath and take a shower. The hot water washed over my body, but it couldn't wash away the anger in my heart.
After taking a shower, I lay on the bed. The sound of water in the bathroom was still splashing, but Jiang Yichen’s cold and hard face appeared in my mind, and I hated him so much that my teeth itched.
I was half asleep when I felt someone hugging me from behind. I struggled a little and moved towards the bed on purpose.
Jiang Yichen's strong arms held me tightly, making me unable to move. After struggling for a while, I gradually felt tired, so I simply gave up resistance and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I found that Jiang Yichen was no longer in the room. I thought he had left, so I walked out of the room without any worries. Unexpectedly, when I went downstairs, I ran into my grandmother and Jiang Yichen having dinner.
In front of grandma, I naturally couldn't argue with Jiang Yichen, so I pretended to be calm and greeted him: "Grandma, good morning!"
Grandma looked at me, smiled kindly, and asked with concern: "Momo, your competition should be over, right? I see that you have lost a lot of weight due to your tiredness during this period. How about you rest at home for two days and then go to work?"
My grandmother's words made me feel a chill in my heart. I subconsciously looked at Jiang Yichen, only to see him sitting there eating as if nothing had happened, as if it had nothing to do with him. My anger was immediately ignited. He must have said something in front of my grandmother, so my grandmother suddenly suggested that I rest at home.
Grandma seemed to have noticed my strangeness and quickly explained, "This matter has nothing to do with Jiang Yichen. Grandma saw that you haven't looked well recently, so she wanted you to rest at home and make up for it."
I sat down next to my grandma and tried to behave as well as I could: "Grandma, I'm fine. If I really felt sick, I would ask for leave. Besides, the competition just ended, and there are still some finishing touches to be done. I will come back in two days to accompany you, okay?"
Grandma raised her hand, gently tapped my forehead, and said lovingly, "You are just trying to please grandma. But forget it, as long as you are healthy, you can continue to work."
Finally, grandma gave in. I looked at Jiang Yichen proudly, secretly feeling lucky.
When I went to work with Jiang Yichen, I deliberately chose to sit in the back row. Jiang Yichen frowned, turned his head and glared at me, and coldly ordered: "Sit in the front, do you really think I'm your driver?"
I turned my head away and didn't look at him, silently saying to myself: "I don't want to listen, it's just a bastard." Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen got out of the car the next second, followed me to the back seat, and quickly made a phone call. Soon, another driver came over.
I glared at him fiercely and whispered, "Are you sick?" However, Jiang Yichen ignored me completely.
Along the way, we both remained silent, and the atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.
In order to avoid causing misunderstandings, I deliberately slowed down my pace and walked behind Jiang Yichen when I got off the car and headed to the company.
