Chapter 503 Dare to Steal My Partner?
With a "bang".
Yan Jin slammed the door to the master bedroom shut with her heel, making a dull thud.
His burning chest pressed against her skin, and even through the thin fabric, she could feel his heart pounding violently inside his chest.
"Yan Jin!"
Tang Xiaoya was both angry and embarrassed, and reached out to push him away.
"Aren't you being childish? Put me down right now!"
Instead of letting go, he bounced her up a little, tightening his grip on her as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
Those deep eyes, swirling with intense emotions she couldn't comprehend, held her captive.
"I won't let go."
He spoke, his voice extremely hoarse.
"I will never let go again in this lifetime."
He lowered his head, his nose brushing against hers, his hot breath spraying all over her face, filled with absolute possessiveness.
"you……"
Tang Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat.
She looked at the man's handsome face so close to hers, at his taut jawline.
This man has truly gone mad.
Her struggles gradually weakened, and she sighed helplessly.
Aren't you tired?
She had been traveling for a day and two nights and had just gotten off the plane; her back was still sore and she was in pain all over.
Upon hearing this, Yan Jin's eyes churned with even more intense emotions.
He suddenly chuckled softly, his chest vibrating, the laughter deep and muffled, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.
"tired?"
He leaned close to her ear, his warm breath tickling her ear.
"Baby, do you know how I've spent these past three years?"
His voice was soft, yet carried a heavy weight.
“I can’t sleep every night without you.”
"I can only work myself to exhaustion so that I can barely get a few hours of sleep."
"Even in my dreams, you're all I see."
The man's arms were wrapped tightly around her, as if she were holding a lost treasure that she had regained.
"I finally managed to get you back, and you're right here in my arms."
How could I be tired?
Yan Jin's kisses landed softly and gently on her earlobes and neck.
He kissed his god like a devout believer.
"I want to make up for the gap of more than three years."
"I don't want to waste a single second."
His voice, with its bewitching magic, pierced into Tang Xiaoya's ears.
"Honey, please don't refuse me, okay?"
That one word, "wife," made Tang Xiaoya feel her body go weak.
She couldn't say "no" at all.
Before she could respond, Yan Jin was already impatient.
He kissed her lips again, this time not just a light touch, but a storm of aggressive kisses that swept away all her reason and breath.
He strode toward the soft, large bed and gently placed her on it.
The man's tall body then loomed over her, completely enveloping her in his presence.
Tang Xiaoya was completely captivated.
This man has always been her nemesis.
...
night.
The Nan family manor was brightly lit.
Tang Xiaoya took Yan Jin's hand and stepped into the mansion she knew so well.
However, this was the first time she had brought Yan Jin in to formally visit her aunt and sister.
After all, they're getting married soon.
In the living room, Aunt had already arranged a lavish dinner and specially invited Shen Li and Wen Youyou over to join in the fun.
Shen Xin was unable to attend due to an important signing event.
Yan Jin was a little reserved. He had been to and from the Nan family manor many times, but this time, his status was completely different.
He is Tang Xiaoya's fiancé.
The atmosphere at the long dining table was somewhat subtle.
Tang Ling sat next to Tang Xiaoya, her eyes fixed on Yan Jin across from her.
"I didn't expect it to be you in the end."
Her tone was neither warm nor cold.
Are you ready to be a good husband?
Yan Jin straightened her back, met her gaze, and her expression was more serious than ever before.
He nodded.
"I will definitely make Xiaoya and Xinxin the absolute center of my life."
"I will try my best to be a good husband and a good father. Please rest assured, Aunt, you can entrust her to me."
Nan Wan, who hadn't spoken until now, gave him a serious look.
"rest assured?"
"You'd better pay back the money you spent on damaging my front door first."
"Pfft." Tang Xiaoya couldn't help but laugh.
The tense atmosphere was instantly broken.
Yan Jin relaxed a bit. "Okay, sister, I'll take care of the Nan family's gate from now on."
Lu Qinglin smiled and poured Yan Jin a glass of red wine, then patted him on the shoulder.
"Fortunately, you chose to believe Xiaoya in the end, otherwise, you would never have been able to marry the second young lady of the Southern Gang in this lifetime."
Yan Jin picked up his wine glass, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. He looked at Tang Xiaoya beside him, his gaze burning and unwavering.
"I will always trust her."
"Because I love her."
This straightforward and passionate confession made Tang Xiaoya's cheeks flush slightly.
"This toast is to you, for saving her twice." Lu Qinglin clinked glasses with him, and the two drank it all in one gulp.
Nan Wan put down her chopsticks and asked slowly.
"Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"
"Actually, it could be a few days later."
Yan Jin's heart jumped, and her fingers tightened around the wine glass.
Nan Wan smiled as she looked at his nervous expression.
"So urgent?"
"Are you afraid your wife will run away in the next few days?"
Tang Xiaoya gently shook Nan Wan's arm, "Sister, don't scare him."
Nan Wan raised an eyebrow, "So you're protecting her already?"
Lu Qinglin stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Three days from now is an auspicious day."
"Perfect timing, the jewelry we ordered for Xiaoya should be arriving soon."
Yan Jin nodded immediately.
"good."
"I'll listen to my brother-in-law."
Lu Qinglin raised his glass, "Come, let's raise a glass together and wish you happiness and a long and happy marriage."
Everyone raised their glasses together.
The atmosphere was finally harmonious after the meal.
After dinner, Tang Xiaoya chatted with Nan Wan in the living room.
Lu Qinglin then called Yan Jin to his study and explained some things about Tang Xiaoya's gang to her.
Yan Jin needs to settle in Sunshine City long-term to assist her in handling the affairs of the Southern Gang; she can no longer retire now.
Yan Jin agreed without hesitation.
"Wherever my wife is, that's where I'll be."
In the garden.
Wen Youyou accompanied Shen Li for a walk to aid digestion.
She could tell that Sister Pear wasn't in a particularly good mood tonight.
"Sister Pear, are you missing Yang Yi again?"
Shen Li paused for a moment, then resumed her usual calm, her tone indifferent.
"No."
"I'm thinking about how to write tomorrow's article."
She studied journalism at Shimau Li University and now works as a reporter for a large media group.
She didn't want to work for her brother's company; she preferred to travel around and photograph all sorts of new people and things.
Wen Youyou chuckled and took her arm to comfort her.
"Yang Yi is blind not to choose you! Our Sister Li is so beautiful, he's destined to be a bachelor for life if he misses out on you!"
"Next time we see him, we'll ignore him!"
Shen Li's eyes grew colder, and her voice cracked, "From now on, we'll never see each other again."
She always wore that jade pendant on her body. She was stubborn, but she missed him terribly.
A year is so long, and only five days have passed. The Southern Gang's anniversary celebration is at the end of the month. Will he come back? Will she be able to see him?
Wen Youyou quickly said, "No, Sister Pear, you need to calm down!"
"I recently read a book that said dating is like a duck swimming. You appear relaxed and carefree on the surface, but your feet are actually paddling frantically underwater."
Even if your heart is in turmoil, you should remain calm and collected on the surface. It's not a big deal.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Youyou's phone screen lit up, and an entertainment headline popped up.
Breaking News! Shen Xin, head of the Shen Group, was spotted meeting with A-list actress Lin Mumu late at night at a hotel; high-resolution photos have surfaced!
"Damn it! They dare to poach my guy!"
Wen Youyou immediately exploded and ran into the house.
Shen Li watched her retreating figure, her eyes flashing, and uttered a cool remark.
"Who just said they wanted to be leisurely and carefree?"
Wen Youyou rushed into the living room like a gust of wind and saw Lu Qinglin and Yan Jin coming down from upstairs. She immediately started talking.
"Brother Yan! Your female artist is having an affair with Brother Shen Xin, are you going to do anything about it?"
Yan Jin took out her phone and glanced at it.
"Is it really necessary to be so nervous about just a random photo of them together?"
Wen Youyou got anxious.
"Brother Yan, this Lin Mumu has a very problematic reputation! She knows perfectly well that Brother Shen Xin doesn't like women, yet she still insists on getting close to him!"
Yan Jin looked up at her and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Since you know he doesn't like women, why are you so nervous?"
"I...I'm afraid it will damage Brother Shen Xin's reputation!"
"Won't."
Yan Jin remained calm and composed.
"Both the man and woman are unmarried; it's just a rumor."
"If feelings do develop over time, that would be nice, after all, Shen Xin is not young anymore."
"I disagree!" Wen Youyou shouted, stomped her foot in anger, and ran away.
Yan Jin and Lu Qinglin exchanged a glance.
Lu Qinglin shook his head, a hint of amusement on his face.
He felt that Shen Xin and this girl were going to cause a lot of trouble in the future.
...
Wen Youyou ran out and frantically called Shen Xin.
No one answered the phone.
At this moment, Shen Xin was drinking with two PhDs in a private room, her phone on silent and placed to the side.
Mo Chuan pushed open the door and entered, quickly walked to his side, lowered his body, and handed the phone to him.
The screen displays the trending topics that just broke that evening.
Shen Xin glanced at it only, put down the cup, and gave the order.
"Have the public relations department issue a press release."
"Let's say that Mumu has already signed a contract to become the spokesperson for Shen's Group's high-end skincare line."
He paused, a cold smile curving his lips.
"This trending topic is a perfect way to generate buzz for the product."
The drinking party ended at 10 p.m.
Shen Xin had drunk a bit too much, and her temples were throbbing.
Mo Chuan personally drove him back. He leaned back in the Maybach, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The car was completely silent.
After a while, Mo Chuan's message popped up again, and he said something in a low voice.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Wen has been looking for you."
"I guess she saw the trending topic and was anxious."
Shen Xin slowly opened her eyes. Her deep eyes were exceptionally clear in the night, carrying a chill.
"Don't worry about it."
He spoke calmly.
We can use Mumu's situation to make her give up completely and go to school in peace.
Unable to find Shen Xin, Wen Youyou simply took a taxi to his private apartment, intending to wait and ask him directly.
But to her utter surprise, Shen Xin didn't go back to the apartment at all tonight; instead, she went back to the Shen family's old house.
When Shen Xin returned, only a dim floor lamp was lit in the hall. Shen Xin assumed that Wen Youyou had already fallen asleep, so she tiptoed and went straight back to her room.
Wen Youyou waited at the apartment entrance until midnight.
He still hasn't come back.
A torrential downpour began from the sky, with large raindrops hitting the ground and splashing up water.
Feeling disheartened, she called a ride-hailing service.
When the driver saw that the passenger was just a thin, pretty young girl, his eyes started to look at her strangely.
As the car drove onto the road, the driver kept glancing at her through the rearview mirror, his smile greasy.
"Little sister, are you going home alone so late?"
"Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
Wen Youyou gripped her phone tightly, turned her face to the window, and didn't want to talk to him.
The air inside the car began to feel sticky and oppressive.
Suddenly, she realized she was on the wrong route.
"Master, are you on the wrong road? This is not the right way."
The driver chuckled twice, didn't answer, and instead sped up.
Immediately afterwards, the central locking system clicked shut.
Wen Youyou's heart skipped a beat, and her blood ran cold.
The car suddenly turned into a secluded alley. There was an abandoned construction site nearby, and the area was deserted.
"Have a chat with your brother. If you have a good chat, your brother will take you home."
The driver turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and pounced on her with a lewd grin on his face.
A foul smell of smoke hit me.
"Get out of my way!"
Wen Youyou screamed and pushed him with all her might, struggling with her hands and feet.
Her hands flailed wildly, her fingernails leaving several bloody scratches on the man's face.
Fear enveloped her like a large net.
She suddenly exerted all her strength, slamming her head hard into the man's chin. Taking advantage of the moment he let out a muffled groan, she frantically tried to pull open the car door.
The car door opened!
She tumbled and fell, and seeing a brick by the roadside, she quickly grabbed one.
"You brat! You don't know what's good for you!"
The driver chased after her, walking towards her with a ferocious expression.
Wen Youyou's mind went blank, leaving only the instinct to survive.
The moment the man approached, she closed her eyes, and with all her might, hurled the brick in her hand at him!
"ah".
The man screamed, clutched his head, and squatted down, blood gushing out from between his fingers.
Wen Youyou threw away the brick and ran away.
The heavy rain soaked her dress, causing it to stick to her skin.
She ran, cried, and dialed the number she knew by heart.
Answer it quickly!
Brother Shen Xin, please, please answer the phone!
The phone kept ringing with a monotonous "beep...beep..." sound, over and over again, but no one answered.
She ran frantically across the flooded road, the curses of a man echoing behind her.
"Ouch!" She suddenly tripped and fell, her knees and palms burning with pain.
The man had caught up with her, glaring at her angrily.
"Still trying to run?"
