Chapter 429 Yan Jin, Do You Still Love Her?
Tang Xiaoya was shocked and broke free from Yan Chen's embrace as if she had been electrocuted.
The next second, a powerful force pulled her over and slammed her into a hard, hot chest.
Yan Jin pulled her tightly into his arms.
Several bodyguards in black quickly stepped forward and silently separated all the crew members who were peeking around, forming an impenetrable human wall.
"Yan Chen, stay away from Xiao Ya!" Yan Jin's voice was filled with barely suppressed rage. "She's my woman!"
Yan Chen felt inexplicably happy looking at his protective, irritated appearance.
So easily you get hooked?
It seems that Tang Xiaoya holds a special place in his heart.
He slowly dusted off his sleeves and spoke casually.
"Back then, when you took Xia Ran away from me, you also said that she was your woman."
"Big brother, I'm just curious, are you serious about Xia Ran or Xiao Ya?"
"Give me a straight answer: which one do you not want? That way I can pick up a bargain."
This statement carries immense weight.
Yan Jin's rationality collapsed instantly, and she threw a punch in anger.
"Bang!"
Yan Chen didn't dodge and took the hit squarely, his handsome face immediately showing signs of injury, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Tang Xiaoya was so frightened that her heart stopped. Without thinking, she rushed over and supported the swaying Yan Chen.
"Teacher Yan, are you alright?"
Yan Chen shook his head, his steps a little unsteady. "It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a rest."
Yan Jin watched coldly.
This bastard has been practicing boxing for a long time. He knows exactly how powerful his punch is and whether it can knock someone out.
What a pretentious act.
Tang Xiaoya helped Yan Chen sit down in a chair. "Please sit down and rest for a bit."
She turned her head, her eyes filled with displeasure and disappointment as she looked at Yan Jin.
"Yan Jin, Teacher Yan only came to visit my class today out of kindness. If you're unhappy, you can leave. Why did you have to hit me?"
"Besides, he is you..."
Tang Xiaoya didn't say the word aloud, but just glared at him intensely.
Yan Jin's face turned completely dark, and the atmosphere around her was frighteningly tense.
“My crew doesn’t welcome him. Tell him to get out immediately.”
"Yan Jin, you have such a narrow mind!"
"Xiaoya." Yan Chen suddenly stood up and pulled her. "Don't say anything out of line, lest you anger your brother. I'm leaving now. Remember to eat."
The assistant rushed over and helped Yan Chen walk away.
Tang Xiaoya glared at Yan Jin, walked straight back, picked up the shoebox from the ground, and prepared to leave as well.
Yan Jin was so angry at her pampered look that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
He rushed forward and snatched the box away.
"Something Yan Chen gave you?"
He tossed the box to the ground, and a pink ballet shoe rolled out, covered in dust.
"Yan Jin, you're insane!" Tang Xiaoya screamed. "You have no right to touch my things!"
She ran over, carefully picked up the shoes, and gently patted off the dust with her hand.
These shoes are her wings on stage, Yan Chen's encouragement to her, her expectations for the future, and a spiritual sustenance.
Seeing her extremely nervous appearance, Yan Jin felt her anger burn even more intensely.
He snatched the shoes again and yelled at the bodyguard not far away.
"ignition!"
One of the bodyguards immediately lit a fire in an empty metal barrel.
"What are you going to do?" Tang Xiaoya's face turned pale.
Yan Jin slowly walked to the iron bucket and raised the dancing shoe.
The firelight illuminated his cold profile.
"Yan Jin, don't burn it!" Tang Xiaoya's voice trembled. "I beg you, I'll be very obedient from now on, I'll never see Yan Chen again, please don't burn it, okay?"
Upon hearing her words, Yan Jin was consumed by rage.
"Tang Xiaoya, you actually bowed down to me for that lousy gift that man gave you? And you even begged me?"
"It seems these shoes are very important to you."
After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand.
The pink ballet shoes fell into the fire, instantly sending up a cloud of choking white smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of burning fabric.
Tang Xiaoya rushed over suddenly, staring intently at the wreckage in the fire that was gradually shrinking and turning black, her eyes reflecting the raging flames.
A single, scalding tear finally fell.
Yan Jin stood behind her, her tone light and airy.
"You like shoes, I'll buy you a thousand pairs, ten thousand pairs. But you're not allowed to wear shoes given to you by other men."
His twisted desire for control resurfaced.
Tang Xiaoya looked at him, took a deep breath, and then turned away indifferently, not wanting to stay in front of him for even a moment longer.
Yan Jin reached out and grabbed her hand, "Come have dinner with me."
Tang Xiaoya abruptly shook off his hand and shouted with all her might.
"Stay away from me!"
This was the first time she had ever lost control of herself in front of him.
This shout startled Yan Jin and everyone around her.
She hastily wiped away her tears and rushed to her lounge without looking back.
Yan Jin strode after her.
"Bang!"
Tang Xiaoya locked herself in the small dressing room, the door firmly shut.
"Tang Xiaoya! Open the door!"
Yan Jin was banging on the door frantically from outside.
She ignored it and covered her ears.
This man is despicable, unreasonable, and hypocritical. He only allows officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people to light lamps.
She didn't want to see him again.
"Smash the door!"
A roar came from outside the door, and several bodyguards immediately began to take action.
A short while later, the door lock was forcibly broken and the entire door panel was removed.
Yan Jin strode in, his tall figure looming over her.
"Tang Xiaoya, who gave you the audacity to throw a tantrum at me?"
"You're going to be my enemy just because of those worn-out shoes, is that it?"
Tang Xiaoya ignored him, tears falling silently down her face.
"say!"
"Have you taken a fancy to Yan Chen? He's just using you as a pawn to deal with me, you idiot!" He scolded her harshly. "You're not his type."
Tang Xiaoya finally looked up at him, her eyes chillingly cold.
"Yan Jin, go away. I don't want to see you right now."
Yan Jin didn't leave. Instead, she pulled up a chair, sat down in front of her, crossed her legs, and looked at her intently.
"Tang Xiaoya, Yan Chen knows I care about you, so he's deliberately trying to win you over. He's trying to sow discord between us."
Tang Xiaoya looked at him, a cold smile curving her lips.
"Don't you know why he hates you so much?"
"It's because you stole his girlfriend and then brought her back to be his sister-in-law."
"If I were him, wouldn't I stab you a couple of times?"
Yan Jin jumped up in anger, paced back and forth a couple of times, and only spoke after calming herself down.
"You believe his nonsense? Xia Ran is my first love. Yan Chen fell in love with her while filming and wanted to run away with her."
"In the end, because of this woman, he abandoned me at the height of his career, secretly terminated 37 endorsement contracts, and squandered my seven years of hard work, almost causing the company to go bankrupt."
Yan Jin angrily kicked the chair away, "He's the real ingrate!"
Tang Xiaoya was startled.
Is this the real story?
She didn't know which of the two completely different versions to believe.
She took a deep breath before speaking, "Your grudges have nothing to do with me. Now that Xia Ran is back, and you like her so much, then you should treat her well."
Yan Jin looked at her seriously, "Tang Xiaoya, give me some time, I will handle Xia Ran's matter."
"However, I will not allow you to see Yan Chen again."
Tang Xiaoya asked, "Yan Jin, do you still love her?"
He paused for a moment, then did not answer.
His silence was the sharpest knife piercing her.
Tang Xiaoya suddenly laughed, "I'm sorry, I crossed the line."
Who he loves has nothing to do with her.
She didn't expect to spend her whole life with him, much less marry him and have children.
They were just passersby in each other's lives.
Once filming wraps up, it will be time for her to leave.
There are less than two months left.
She didn't want him anymore.
"I'm going to eat. I have to start work again soon. Mr. Yan, please make yourself at home."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
She had never been so composed, nor had she ever been so sad; she had become too deeply immersed in the role.
...
In the evening, the private rooms at the Quan Tang Club were dimly lit and the music was somber.
Yan Jin was drinking alone with her two best friends.
Shang Mo, a typical playboy, glanced sideways at Yan Jin, who looked gloomy beside him.
"Hey, why don't you bring your white moonlight Xia Ran out and have a get-together with everyone?"
Yan Jin didn't say anything, but tilted her head back and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.
The spicy liquid slid down my throat.
Xia Ran invited him to dinner, but he declined.
He was a little afraid to see her, a deliberate avoidance.
After several years apart, the intense feelings I once had have been washed away by time.
He was even more afraid that if their old feelings rekindled, he would lose Tang Xiaoya completely.
"You didn't fall for that minor celebrity, did you?"
"Can't shake them off?"
Beside him, Shen Xin, known as the "Millennial Widow King," hit the nail on the head.
Yan Jin still didn't answer. She picked up the wine bottle, poured herself another glass, and downed it in one gulp.
Silence is the best answer.
Shang Mo couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"What's there to be so conflicted about?"
"Bring them both out here, and we'll give you a real look at them today."
"Aren't you afraid that the hellish scene will turn into a crematorium?" Shen Xin rolled her eyes at him, her tone icy.
Yan Jin's deep eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked a question out of the blue.
What kind of shoes do women generally like?
Shang Mo: ...
Shen Xin: ...
"Young Master Yan, have you gone mad with desire?" Shang Mo looked at him and gave him a serious piece of advice, "Buddy, listen to my advice, a man should only have physical attraction to a woman, never emotional attraction, or you're finished."
“It’s best not to touch her.” Shen Xin retorted directly. He never touched women and kept himself pure.
"Are you fucking incapable, or are you just really impotent?" Shang Mo immediately retorted, "Always be friends with your right hand?"
There was a sudden knock on the door of the private room.
A waitress pushed in an elegant snack cart, followed by a tall and beautiful woman.
It was Xia Ran.
"Ajin, you're really here."
Xia Ran's gaze landed precisely on Yan Jin, with a hint of surprise.
She then looked at the other two, "Young Master Shang, Young Master Shen is here too, it's been a long time."
"Beautiful Xia, long time no see!" Shang Mo greeted her warmly. "You've become even more beautiful. Come and sit down."
Xia Ran ignored the empty seat next to Shang Mo and went straight to sit next to Yan Jin.
The two were very close together.
"Ajin, you don't look well. Did something happen?"
Her voice was so soft it seemed to melt your heart.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Yan Jin's tone was indifferent, and she subtly shifted her body to the side.
"Xia Ran, you're not leaving again this time, are you?" Shang Mo poured her a glass of wine and took the initiative to start a conversation.
Xia Ran's gaze swept over Yan Jin's cold profile before she slowly answered.
"If someone tries to persuade me to stay, I don't plan to leave."
"I'm tired of wandering all these years, and suddenly I just want a home and a stable life."
Her words were loaded with meaning.
"Haha, you want to get married?" Shang Mo smiled. "Then I wish you all the best."
He raised his glass.
The four of them lightly clinked their glasses.
"The atmosphere is too dull, it's not fun." Shang Mo put down his wine glass, took out his phone, and said, "I'll invite a few more girls over to liven things up."
Yan Jin suddenly put down her wine glass.
"You guys have fun, I have something to do, I'm leaving now."
He stood up and walked out without looking back.
Xia Ran's expression changed, and she immediately stood up and quickly chased after him in her high heels.
"A Jin!"
She shouted in the empty corridor.
Yan Jin stopped, took out a cigarette, lit it, and exuded an aura of detachment.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Xia Ran's voice trembled with tears, filled with grievance. "Don't you really like me anymore?"
Yan Jin exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Ranran, I'm not avoiding you, I've just been busy lately."
"I'll have the driver take you home."
Xia Ran quickly stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and hugged his lean waist.
The man's waist was firm and strong, and you could feel his burning body temperature through the thin shirt.
"I want you to deliver it."
Her voice carried a touch of undeniable capriciousness.
Yan Jin's body stiffened for a moment.
He compromised.
"Okay, I'll take you."
He reached out and tried to pry her hands off his back.
Xia Ran hugged him even tighter, pressing her cheek against his chest, and said softly.
"Ajin, let's go out to sea tomorrow, just the two of us, and slowly rediscover the feeling we used to have."
Their first kiss was at sea.
Yan Jin frowned deeply.
"Ranran, we..."
Before he could even refuse, Xia Ran leaned forward and kissed the corner of his lips.
She is 1.75 meters tall, and wearing mid-heel shoes, she can almost look Yan Jin in the eye.
The kiss came suddenly, with a reckless madness.
Yan Jin was completely stunned.
Just then, the door to the adjacent private room was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Tang Xiaoya walked out chatting and laughing with Nan Wan.
Tomorrow evening, Nanwan will be setting off for Fuzhou with Lu Qinglin, so tonight I specially invited Tang Xiaoya to the club for a get-together.
The corridor was brightly lit, and the handsome man and beautiful woman embracing and kissing in front of me formed a picturesque scene that was very pleasing to the eye.
Tang Xiaoya's smile froze instantly.
Her eyes flickered, but she said nothing and immediately turned and left.
Yan Jin pushed Xia Ran away almost instantly, her heart pounding in her throat.
"Baby!" he blurted out, and without thinking, he chased after her...
