Chapter 430 Yan Jin, Let Me Go
Yan Jin shoved Xia Ran away, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Baby!"
He blurted it out and took off after him.
Tang Xiaoya ran ahead.
He chased after him.
Nan Wan stood there dumbfounded. Something was definitely going on with these three!
Xia Ran was completely dumbfounded.
Who did he just call "baby"?
Who was that woman who ran away?
Xia Ran felt like the sky was about to fall.
No wonder he refused to have her; he already had someone else in his heart.
On a whim, she followed after them.
Tang Xiaoya rushed out of the clubhouse and jumped into a taxi parked on the side of the road.
“Vanstar Hotel!” she casually gave the address.
That was the executive suite that the production crew arranged for Yan Jin before she arrived.
She doesn't want to see Yan Jin for even a second, not even a minute.
Before, she could pretend to be very generous and tell him that it was his business who he liked.
She knew perfectly well that Xia Ran was his white moonlight, the cinnabar mole in his heart.
But when that kiss actually happened right before her eyes, she still broke down.
She panicked and only wanted to escape.
My heart feels so heavy and I feel terribly uncomfortable.
She simply couldn't ignore it.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
She didn't cry when she was bitten by the dog.
Why now...?
A black Rolls-Royce pulled up behind them and honked its horn twice.
The taxi driver thought the other vehicle was going to overtake him, so he instinctively moved into the middle lane.
The next second, the Rolls-Royce and the taxi were side by side.
The window rolled down, and the Rolls-Royce driver leaned out and shouted, "Stop the car!"
Seeing this commotion, the taxi driver didn't dare to cause trouble and quickly pulled over.
Yan Jin jumped out of the car and yanked open the back door of the taxi.
He pulled Tang Xiaoya, whose face was covered in tears, out of the car.
"Get away from me!" Tang Xiaoya shouted uncontrollably. "Yan Jin, stay away from me!"
Seeing this, the taxi driver was too scared to drive away.
The Rolls-Royce driver came over, slipped a few red banknotes into his hand, and explained in a low voice, "The young couple had a little tiff, it's nothing."
The taxi driver then stepped on the gas and slowly drove away.
Yan Jin held the struggling person tightly in her arms, gently patting her back with her palm.
"Baby, baby, listen to me."
"Xia Ran and I have nothing going on. That was her farewell kiss. She's leaving Qingcheng in a few days."
"Don't get excited, don't be sad, baby."
He explained and reassured her, his voice carrying a panic he himself was unaware of.
"Yan Jin, let me go! Don't touch me!" Tang Xiaoya was extremely agitated.
Yan Jin felt both nervous and inexplicably happy as she looked at her.
This girl really does care about him.
All those previous statements about spoiling whomever you want were just empty words.
"Baby, don't be angry." He coaxed patiently and gently. "I only love you."
"Don't cry."
Tang Xiaoya used all her strength to push him away.
"Yan Jin, let me go!"
"I don't want you anymore, I don't want you anymore!"
Yan Jin's brows furrowed into a tight knot instantly.
She said she didn't want him anymore?
"Tang Xiaoya, calm down, and we'll solve the problem then." He suppressed his anger and stared at her intently.
"Yan Jin, let me go! I don't want to stay by your side anymore!" Tang Xiaoya said, her face contorted in pain.
Yan Jin's heart ached as she looked at her tear-streaked face.
"Tang Xiaoya, have you thought this through?"
His tone turned cold.
"Without me, you have nothing."
"I don't want anything! I don't want any of it!" Tang Xiaoya completely broke down; all she wanted was to leave him.
"Yan Jin, let me go!"
Her mind went blank; she didn't want anything anymore.
I just want to escape from him.
Just then, Yan Jin's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and immediately hung up.
But the phone kept ringing.
He simply and decisively turned off his phone.
Tang Xiaoya cried even harder when she saw his actions.
She squatted on the ground, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Yan Jin looked at her silently, took off his suit jacket, and draped it over her trembling shoulders.
Tang Xiaoya ignored him.
He spoke slowly, his tone cold and hard.
"Tang Xiaoya, I can give you a month to calm down."
I will not appear before you for the next month.
"But you are not allowed to date any men. Don't cross my line."
Yan Jin knew that she had a fiery temper, and if he pushed her too hard, who knew what might happen.
He chose a compromise.
First, calm her down, then gently coax her.
He also wanted to test whether he could handle being away from her for a month.
If that feeling really disappears, then he will let her go.
Tang Xiaoya stopped crying and raised her red and swollen eyes.
"Yan Jin, you keep your word."
After saying that, she stood up, ran to the roadside, and waved to flag down a car.
Yan Jin coldly gave the order to the driver who was standing not far away.
"Take her back."
"I'm going to the hotel," Tang Xiaoya said in a hoarse voice, then opened the car door and got into the Rolls-Royce.
The driver immediately started moving, and the vehicle smoothly merged into the traffic.
Yan Jin took a cigarette out of her pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.
Another luxury car that had been following behind him silently pulled up in front of him, and a bodyguard respectfully opened the car door for him.
Yan Jin threw the cigarette she had only taken a puff of heavily on the ground and stubbed it out with her toe.
Without his protection, she could not move an inch.
She will definitely regret leaving him.
Yan Jin returned to the villa alone.
In the empty living room, only his own breathing could be heard.
He loosened his tie, tossed it onto the sofa, and went straight upstairs to the second floor.
The left side of the large bed in the master bedroom, where he was used to sleeping, still retained the faint fragrance of Tang Xiaoya.
But on the other side, it was so cold and devoid of any human presence.
Yan Jin lay down, her mind a jumble of images, filled with memories of their relationship from the time they first met until now.
He turned over irritably, staring at the empty half of the bed.
One month.
He said he would give her a month to cool off.
He already regrets it on the very first day.
He shouldn't have said a month, a week, no, three days would be enough.
He touched his phone; the screen was completely blank, with no messages from her.
This woman really cuts ties without hesitation at all.
Yan Jin threw her phone forcefully to the other side of the bed, closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.
He thought to himself that once she had suffered, she would definitely come back to him and beg him to pamper her.
He waited, little crybaby.
The next day.
Tang Xiaoya arrived at the film set very early.
She looked radiant and was wearing makeup; there was almost no trace of her having cried the night before.
Only when you get close can you see the faint bluish tinge under her eyes and the lingering redness and swelling.
Her assistant, Lily, brought her her favorite soup dumplings and soy milk.
"Sister Xiaoya, eat slowly, don't choke."
Tang Xiaoya took the breakfast and ate it in small bites while flipping through today's script, completely immersed in her work.
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
Seeing Tang Xiaoya's feigned strength, Lily secretly went to a corner, raised her phone, and took a picture of Tang Xiaoya.
In the photo, the girl sits quietly in a chair, bathed in the morning light, looking serene and beautiful.
She sent the photos over.
Yan Jin was on the second-floor balcony of the villa, making a phone call, when she received the imperial decree.
He wore a bespoke black shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, giving him a tall and slender figure.
With one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding the phone, he exuded an air of aloofness and asceticism.
My phone vibrated.
He looked down and saw the photo on the screen.
The girl lowered her head, her profile was gentle, and she looked well-behaved and harmless.
Yan Jin stared intently at the photo, but the temperature in her eyes instantly plummeted to freezing.
She's doing quite well without him.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
The housekeeper led Xia Ran in.
Xia Ran saw Yan Jin standing on the balcony and walked straight over to her.
"Ajin, what exactly is your relationship with that Tang Xiaoya?" She got straight to the point, not wanting to beat around the bush anymore.
Yan Jin turned around, not answering her question, but just looking at her coldly.
"Xia Ran, we can't go back."
His tone was completely flat.
"If you still want to develop your career in the entertainment industry, Kaka can give you the best resources, but let's keep our distance."
Xia Ran's face turned pale instantly.
“Ajin, do you know how I’ve been these past few years?” Her voice trembled. “Back then, my career was at its peak, and your father forced me to leave the entertainment industry. Fine, I left.”
“I switched careers to become a model, and just when I was starting to make some progress, he dragged me back into the mire.”
"I finally managed to get back on my feet, thinking that one day I would come back to you."
Why are you being so cruel to me now?
Yan Jin's body stiffened for a moment.
All he knew was that his father had first blacklisted her, and he felt guilty about it. He founded Kaka Company, hoping to wait for her to come back and be her strongest support.
But he didn't know that there would be a second time.
His Adam's apple bobbed. "Whatever you want, Kaka's shares or money, I can compensate you."
"But I may not be able to give you feelings."
He spoke decisively, wanting only to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
Xia Ran's tears fell.
"Ajin, I don't want anything."
"I won't be staying in Qingcheng for long. I just hope you can stay with me, like before, so that our lives will be without regrets, okay?"
“Xia Ran…” Yan Jin wanted to refuse.
"Ah Jin, this is my last request." Xia Ran interrupted him, her eyes full of pleading. "Just treat me like an ordinary friend, keep me company, okay?"
Back then, he broke ties with Yan Chen for her sake; now, he can let go just like that.
She was confident that she could make him fall in love with her again.
Seeing her tearful face, Yan Jin thought of her father's actions and finally relented.
He uttered a few words in a low voice.
"Just friends."
Xia Ran nodded emphatically, a smile appearing on her face. "Yes, just friends."
...
Fuzhou International Airport.
Lu Qinglin held Nan Wan's hand and dragged a suitcase towards the exit.
Their handsome and outstanding appearances immediately made them a beautiful sight.
There were whispers around, as if they had seen some big star.
Lu Qinglin took small steps, matching her pace, neither hurried nor slow.
He was dressed simply today, in a black shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his strong and muscular physique.
Nan Wan was dressed casually, wearing a white sweater with casual pants and a light jacket, looking comfortable and relaxed.
In the parking lot, a black Maybach was parked quietly.
Fang Zheng leaned against the car door, constantly checking his phone and glancing towards the exit, clearly restless.
When he learned that his boss was still alive, this man in his thirties actually closed the office door and cried his heart out, his crying was so loud it was earth-shattering.
At that moment, seeing that familiar and upright figure leading a woman over, Fang Zheng's eyes instantly welled up with tears again.
He suddenly stood up straight, strode forward, and yanked open the back door of the car, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"President Lu."
"What, should I give you an annual loyal employee award?" Lu Qinglin joked, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He stretched out a hand and placed it lightly on the top of the car door, letting Nan Wan get in first.
It was a tiny gesture, yet it showed thoughtfulness to the core.
Fang Zheng sniffed, closed the car door, and quickly returned to the driver's seat.
The car smoothly merged into the traffic and headed towards the city center.
"Mr. Lu, shall we go back to the company now, or go home first?" Fang Zheng asked cautiously through the rearview mirror.
Lu Qinglin didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Nan Wan with focused eyes.
Nan Wan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and reached out to tidy up the stray hairs by her ear.
The man then looked away and casually uttered a sentence.
"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
After he finished speaking, there was a two-second silence in the car.
Fang Zheng's hand on the steering wheel trembled slightly; he almost thought he was hallucinating.
What kind of rocket speed is this? The boss is really something else!
Nan Wan was also stunned. She turned her face to look at him abruptly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
Going straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau after getting off the plane?
Are you in such a... hurry?
Lu Qinglin couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her adorable, bewildered expression.
He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.
"What, you want to back out?"
The man's voice was deep and had an indescribable magnetic quality.
"no."
She forced a smile.
"I just feel that I... I should at least change my clothes and put on some makeup or something."
After all, it's a major life event like getting a marriage certificate, and the fact that she's wearing a bare face and casual clothes meant for comfortable air travel seems a bit hasty.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qinglin's smile deepened.
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently caressing her cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"good."
He turned his head and said to Fang Zheng in front of him.
"Then let's go back to our home first."
He spoke the words "our home" clearly and solemnly.
He pulled Nan Wan into his arms and held her tightly.
Are you tired?
Nan Wan looked up at him and gently shook her head.
He lowered his head and couldn't resist kissing her lips.
He returned to Rongcheng once again, and this time, he wanted to bring a perfect ending to their eight years of regret.
The car eventually stopped in a high-end villa area with extremely tight security.
Shaded by green trees, every step reveals a new scene.
Lu Qinglin got out of the car first, walked around to the other side, and personally opened the car door for Nan Wan.
As soon as Nan Wan got off the bus, she was stunned by the scene before her.
