Chapter 499 I'll only borrow her life once
When she saw the handsome face she hadn't seen in so long, she jumped up instantly.
"Teacher Yan!"
Yan Chen smiled.
"Xiaoya, it's been a long time."
"How are you?"
He reached out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hers.
She jerked back and dodged it.
"Teacher Yan, could you please take me home?"
Her voice was icy cold; she didn't want to, and absolutely couldn't, become the target of these two men's power struggle again.
Yan Chen withdrew his hand, not embarrassed at all, and only said one sentence.
"Afraid that Yan Jin will misunderstand?"
He chuckled softly.
"Even if we do nothing, you are already tainted."
"You can never wash away the thorn in his heart."
He knew his older brother all too well: suspicious, impulsive, and extremely paranoid.
Tang Xiaoya's eyes flickered.
"Yan Chen, are you trying to pull the same trick again?"
He asked, "Would you dare to bet again?"
Tang Xiaoya felt a strong sense of disgust.
I don't gamble.
"Don't get involved in my business with him anymore."
"There's no way it'll ever be between us, and even without him, you wouldn't have any chance."
She refused completely, leaving no room for negotiation.
Yan Chen smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.
"Don't be nervous, and you don't need to be so wary of me."
"Today is just an old friends getting together to catch up and reminisce."
Are you hungry? I've prepared lunch for you.
His gaze fell on her flat stomach.
Tang Xiaoya replied coldly.
"No need, please take me back."
Yan Chen curled his lips into a smile.
"You may not be hungry, but the child must be."
Tang Xiaoya was deeply shaken.
Suddenly, a child's heart-wrenching cries came from outside the door.
"Heart!"
Tang Xiaoya rushed out like a madwoman.
Yan Chen's tall figure blocked her way.
Tang Xiaoya didn't care about anything else and started fighting directly, clenching her fists and hitting his handsome face.
One punch!
It hit him squarely in the cheek.
Yan Chen didn't dodge and took the hit squarely.
He didn't blame her; he simply touched the inside of his cheek where he had been hit with the tip of his tongue and whispered.
"Why did you hit me? You're really naughty."
"Give me back my daughter! Give me back my heart!"
Yan Chen looked at her on the verge of collapse, his eyes filled with jealousy.
"I really didn't expect this..."
"You really gave birth to such a beautiful child for Yan Jin."
"But what gives him the right?"
"Why can he have children and you, while I can only marry a complete stranger?"
He is not convinced!
Tang Xiaoya completely ignored his roar.
"Heart!"
She was about to rush out.
Yan Chen grabbed her arm.
The two immediately started punching and kicking each other.
Tang Xiaoya's moves were fast and ruthless, all of them were desperate fighting styles, and every strike was aimed at the opponent's vital points.
Yan Chen never expected that she would become so capable after not seeing her for several years.
He's growing to like this woman more and more.
But he was no weakling either; the fighting skills he had practiced since childhood were not just for show.
After several rounds, Tang Xiaoya was clearly at a disadvantage and was exhausted.
A misplaced block ripped open the wound on her right arm.
Blood gushed out instantly, staining the snow-white sleeves of the wedding dress crimson; the sight of that red was shocking.
Yan Chen's gaze was stung by the crimson color.
"Xiaoya!"
He suddenly stopped, stepped forward, and, ignoring her struggles, pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Don't move!"
"We're not fighting anymore!"
"Give Xinxin back to me!" Tang Xiaoya roared in his arms, her fists weakly pounding his back.
Hearing her daughter's heart-wrenching cries outside the door, her heart broke.
...
On the other side.
Yan Jin's men searched almost every hidden place, and finally, based on a clue, they located a detached villa in the suburbs.
The driver floored the accelerator and sped along the highway.
Suddenly, Yan Jin's phone rang.
He received a video.
The person in the video is Tang Xiaoya.
The footage was shot from behind her, so her expression wasn't visible.
She unzipped the back of the wedding dress, tugged at it a few times, and the entire heavy dress slipped down, piling up at her feet.
She was only wearing a pink lace lingerie set, revealing her shapely figure.
Blood was still gushing from the wound on her right arm, the bright red liquid soaking through the gauze.
Yan Jin's eyes were severely injured by the images on the screen.
Who is it?
Who dares to humiliate her like this?
Who laid a hand on her?
"Drive faster!"
Yan Jin roared at the driver like a wild beast; he was going crazy.
He picked up another phone and dialed a number.
"I'll send you an address. No matter what method you use, you have to help me catch this person!"
He gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, and the anger in his eyes seemed to set the entire carriage ablaze.
Yan Jin's car came to a smooth stop in front of the villa.
His men had quickly completed the encirclement.
In the sky, the helicopter's rotors whipped up huge gusts of air and roared loudly; his teammates had come to his aid.
Yan Jin kicked open the villa door and strode inside.
"Xiaoya!"
He searched every corner of the house.
There is no one.
The empty room was filled only with cold air.
His gaze finally fell on the ground, where there was a small pool of congealed blood, next to which was Xiaoya's discarded wedding dress.
Yun Mu ran in, panting.
"Mr. Yan, someone has reported that Miss Tang has taken little Tang Xin back to her villa."
Yan Jin's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, then immediately tightened again.
He quickly turned and ran out, leaving behind only a cold, hard command.
"Investigate who just left from here. We must capture them."
"yes!"
When Yan Jin returned to Tang Xiaoya's villa, she saw her sitting quietly at the dining table, feeding Xiao Tangxin spoonful by spoonful.
Xiao Tangxin's big eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had been crying for a long time.
"Xiaoya".
Yan Jin rushed over and hugged her tightly in his arms, so tightly that he almost wanted to knead her into his bones.
He quickly examined her body, his voice trembling.
Are you injured?
She shook her head, her tone indifferent.
"It's nothing, I just accidentally reopened the wound."
Looking at her pale face, Yan Jin felt an overwhelming pang of heartache. Suppressing his rage, he asked the most crucial question.
Who kidnapped you?
"It's Yan Chen," she answered without the slightest hesitation.
His heart sank, and his voice became even hoarser.
"He touched you?"
Tang Xiaoya shook her head.
"No."
Yan Jin reached out and gently rubbed her head to comfort her, but her other hand, hanging by her side, was clenched so tightly that her knuckles cracked.
"Dad," Little Tang said, reaching out her little hand to him with a wronged expression.
Yan Jin picked up the child and kissed him, "Baby, Daddy's here."
Staring at her swollen, red eyes, my heart broke.
That damned Yan Chen.
A moment later, Yun Mu walked in, looking anxious.
"President Yan, we've found Yan Chen."
Tang Xiaoya immediately looked up and grabbed Yan Jin's sleeve.
"Yan Jin, let him go. He didn't touch me. Don't escalate the conflict because of me."
Yan Jin looked down at her and said three words.
"Never mind that."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Before long, Yan Jin's men cornered Yan Chen in a private room at a top-tier club in the city.
He was holding a wine glass, with his assistant standing beside him, looking completely relaxed and content.
Yan Jin appeared at the doorway, and the next second, she rushed in front of Yan Chen, grabbed his collar, and punched him hard without any mercy.
Yan Chen turned his head to the side after being hit. He stuck out his tongue and licked the broken corner of his mouth, wiping away a trace of blood. Instead, he smiled.
"Yan Jin, your bride is lovely, I'm very satisfied."
He leaned closer and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
No wonder you can't stop.
Yan Jin's eyes turned completely red, and the string of reason snapped instantly. He grabbed Yan Chen and punched him again and again.
The two of them instantly started fighting.
"You dare to tie her up!"
"You dare to kidnap my daughter!"
Yan Jin used all her strength in every punch, as if she was trying to kill him.
In the end, both of them were injured and looked utterly disheveled.
Yan Chen, panting heavily, took a USB drive out of his pocket, waved it in front of Yan Jin, and continued to provoke him with words, "The passion is all here, you can take it back and enjoy it slowly."
"Yan Jin, this is what you owe me. I will only borrow her life once."
"If you think she's dirty, then give her to me. I want her."
Yan Jin looked at him coldly, her eyes full of disdain.
"Yan Chen, you will never have her."
Undeterred, Yan Chen uttered the most vicious lie.
"I've already slept with you, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Yan Jin looked at his frantic state and said coldly.
"Yan Chen, you will pay the price for your actions."
Meanwhile, Tang Xiaoya's phone was showing a live feed of everything happening inside the private room.
As she watched the two men fighting each other to the death, and saw Yan Jin's body stiffen the moment Yan Chen took out the USB drive, her heart sank to the bottom.
She wondered if he would be provoked by Yan Chen again and believe Yan Chen once more.
Will he believe in his innocence?
If he doesn't come back tonight, then their lives will end here.
In the scene, Yan Jin went out the door and said something directly to Yun Mu.
“Take him away.”
Four bodyguards immediately came in and dragged Yan Chen, who was still shouting, out of the room.
Yan Jin walked out, not even glancing at the USB drive that Yan Chen had tossed on the table.
The car is driving along the coastline.
The evening glow shone through the car window, casting flickering light and shadow on Yan Jin's handsome profile.
That sunset was as red as blood.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly spoke.
"parking."
The driver didn't dare ask any more questions and immediately pulled the car steadily to the side of the road.
Yan Jin got out of the car, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty and humid scent, rushed towards him, ruffling his carefully styled hair.
He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, shook out a cigarette, and lit it.
I took a deep breath.
The image of Tang Xiaoya taking off her wedding dress kept flashing through my mind.
There was also Yan Chen's boasting and provocation.
"Your bride is beautiful."
"I will only borrow her life once. The passion is on the USB drive. I will take it back and enjoy it slowly."
Yan Jin's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, tightened suddenly.
His other hand was clenched into a fist, with the veins on the back of his hand bulging as if it were about to burst.
Jealousy burned fiercely in his chest, threatening to incinerate him completely.
He's going crazy.
His eyes were bloodshot and looked terrifyingly red.
He felt like he was about to lose control and smash the whole world to pieces.
Just then.
Zhang Xiuyi's words suddenly rang in his ears.
Can you trust her unconditionally?
"Just like she gave you her whole heart and soul back then, regardless of everything."
He remembered his answer at the time, so resolute.
"I can."
"No matter what happens, I will never hurt her or doubt her again."
Zhang Xiuyi's sigh seems like it was just yesterday.
"I hope you keep your word, and I hope you truly understand the power of trust!"
Yan Jin's heart trembled violently.
He looked down at the cigarette that was almost burned out between his fingers, the last embers burning his fingers.
He abruptly threw the cigarette on the ground.
Then, he turned around, opened the car door, and sat back down.
Yan Jin still hadn't returned by dinner time.
After feeding Xiao Tangxin, Tang Xiaoya played with her on the swing in the garden, feeling a tightness in her chest.
In the end, he still didn't trust her.
He only believed Yan Chen, and only believed the "evidence" he saw with his own eyes.
There was an insurmountable gap between them.
Yan Jin, after tonight, we will never meet again.
The night wind tousled her long hair and moistened the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, two blinding headlights shattered the tranquility of the garden as a black luxury car slowly drove into the villa.
Yun Mu got out of the driver's seat, walked quickly to her, and bowed respectfully.
"Miss Tang, Mr. Yan sent me to pick you up for dinner."
Tang Xiaoya was stunned.
How about dinner?
Yun Mu took out a cell phone and handed it to her.
As soon as the phone was brought to her ear, Yan Jin's familiar yet gentle voice came from the other end.
"Tang Xiaoya, our date isn't over yet. Are you trying to back out?"
Tang Xiaoya was completely stunned.
Wasn't he very angry? Didn't he suspect that she was having an affair with Yan Chen?
Before she could get a reply, the person on the other end of the phone added another sentence, which carried an unquestionable command.
"Hurry up and put on your pretty dress, then come with Yun Mu."
Tang Xiaoya paused for a moment, then uttered only one word.
"good."
Half an hour later, Tang Xiaoya came downstairs.
She changed into a champagne-colored dress and put on delicate makeup, looking radiant. However, the newly bandaged wound on her right arm was somewhat noticeable under the light, but she didn't try to hide it.
She got into the car, her heart pounding, wondering what Yan Jin was up to.
The car sped along and finally pulled into a brightly lit seaside restaurant.
This is a very stylish glass house restaurant, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a transparent glass floor underfoot, where you can see the azure sea and the occasional school of fish swimming by.
The entire restaurant was decorated with countless white roses and twinkling fairy lights, making it look like a fairytale wonderland, with a romantic fragrance filling the air.
This is clearly... the setup for a marriage proposal.
Upon seeing this scene, Tang Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath, and in her high heels, she walked in step by step.
He stood in the brightest halo of light in the center of the restaurant.
The soft lighting accentuated his deep, sculpted features; he was simply stunningly handsome just standing there quietly.
As Tang Xiaoya approached, he knelt down on one knee and took out a sparkling pink diamond, the one that Xiao Tangxin had given her at the church, and it was the perfect size.
"Baby, marry me."
