Chapter 239 Winning Her Brief Choice
Yan Baiqing drank some wine with several CEOs, drank quickly and got drunk, and the collar of his shirt was loose.
The bodyguard was quick to steady him.
"Qing'er." Yan Baiqing smiled and waved at her, "Let's go."
Jiang Jingyan stood motionless with his back to him, looking at Chen Qing with a fiery and fierce gaze.
Chen Qing whispered softly, "I have to go."
"Where are you going? Back to your own home."
This happened to fall into Yan Baiqing's ears. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Jingyan, I remember that you two have already separated. Who are you to meddle in other people's business?"
"A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. I can pursue her again, isn't that right?" Jiang Jingyan said sternly. "So what's your position to interfere?"
After playing dumb with Yan Baiqing all night, he was already annoyed. His suppressed temper vibrated in his chest, burning the air.
"Qing'er, tell him where you want to go."
Yan Baiqing was quite patient, slowly rolled up his sleeves and waited for her reply.
Chen Qing's legs went weak. He faced him, not looking at Jiang Jingyan. "Mr. Jiang, I have something else to do."
Yan Baiqing raised his chin and said, "Take Miss Chen back to the car."
The bodyguards took the order and went out with Chen Qing on both sides.
Jiang Jingyan stared at her back, his anger spreading inch by inch, "Yan Baiqing, if you are a man, don't use women to make a living."
"Your ex-girlfriend threw herself at me. Even if you're angry, you shouldn't say anything without thinking."
He withdrew his gaze and moved it to Yan Baiqing's face.
Yan Baiqing spread his hands and said, "Today is my first day as the successor to the Yan family. I am a clean businessman. You have no evidence and are making malicious accusations. I can sue you."
Jiang Jingyan had a sneer on his lips and didn't say a word.
"Uncle Jiang is under investigation, Jingyan, please behave yourself." Yan Baiqing also had a smile on his face and patted his shoulder with a casual but warning tone.
Jiang Jingyan stared at the two entangled shadows on the ground. "My senior brother gave me advice, and I should return it. Because of a Nanhong bracelet, he didn't hesitate to destroy an important department. The Yan family is using the small to avoid the big, so be careful not to capsize."
"It seems this is the gift you gave me."
"It's not the value of a gift that matters, it's the thought that counts." He brushed off the hand on his shoulder, his brows darkening. "This is the last gift I'll give you. Next time, are you sure you can win from me?"
There were not many people in the corridor at this moment, it was empty, and the tension between the two was high, neither of them giving in.
Yan Baiqing relaxed his shoulders and neck, swinging his tie back and forth. "Do you remember, at the charity gala earlier this year, your then-fiancée Tao Siran was giving Qing'er a hard time, and I stepped in to help her out?"
Jiang Jingyan frowned and walked out.
Yan Baiqing's pace matched his, and he didn't stop talking. "You're really good at using my name to evade the Tao family. I think the current situation seems to have returned to its proper place."
Jiang Jingyan stopped inside the revolving door of the hotel. Outside, the Yan family's convoy was parked on the roadside, lurking in the night.
Yan Baiqing put his hands behind his back, his tone melancholy, "You said at the meeting that I was interested in someone who didn't belong to me, but who can tell for sure whether she belonged to me from the beginning?"
Jiang Jingyan endured to the limit, put his elbow across his throat, and pressed against the goalpost, leaving no gap.
The sudden feeling of suffocation made Yan Baiqing cough dryly, and he raised his hand to stop the bodyguard.
"Winning or losing is uncertain, and the final victory may not necessarily belong to my Yan family." Yan Baiqing grabbed Jiang Jingyan's wrist and slowly exerted force, making the two evenly matched. "Things have changed, and it's time for the Jiang family to taste the pain of having their beloved taken away."
…
On the way back to Yan's house, Yan Baiqing leaned back in his chair without saying a word to sober up.
Chen Qing wanted to bring up Li Xiangli's matter, but didn't find a chance.
The convoy was divided into two columns outside the community gate to escort them to their arrival.
Yan Baiqing opened his suit jacket and gently put it on her. "Put it on. It's cold."
His attitude was distant and indifferent. Chen Qing took it hesitantly and followed him out of the car.
"Where's Li Xiangli?" She trotted a few steps. "You said you wanted me to stay to see him. Where is he?"
The servant of the Yan family came to the entrance, took the coat from her hand, and handed her a towel. "Mr. Yan said you have a poor appetite, so I made you some hawthorn cake."
Chen Qing bowed slightly, "Thank you."
She walked to the sofa, and the nanny served Yan Baiqing sobering tea. He rubbed his temples with one hand and still didn't say a word.
"Mr. Yan." Chen Qing raised his voice, "Are you lying to me?"
"If I hadn't found Li Xiangli, I wouldn't have been able to call you, right?"
She was stunned.
Yan Baiqing straightened his back, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse and mellow, "Qing'er, Jingyan asked me tonight what position I should interrupt, and I can't think of it."
Chen Qing read a hint of danger in his eyes. She put her hands behind her back, clenched her knuckles, and remained silent.
"Tell me, next time someone asks me where I stand, how should I answer?"
Still silent.
Yan Baiqing stood up suddenly, startling her so much that she stepped back.
"I understand that you are cooperating with me for your parents' sake, but our relationship is unclear now, and many things are inconvenient." He pressed forward step by step, and Chen Qing staggered and continued to retreat.
The edge of the sofa hurt her calf, so Yan Baiqing stretched out his arms, picked her up and held her in his arms.
The man's chest, like a solid wall, shackled her. Chen Qing panicked, "You..."
"Qing'er, tell me the answer."
She raised her eyes tremblingly, "What do you want to hear?"
Yan Baiqing looked straight into her eyes. He didn't know why he was angry. Everything went smoothly tonight and there were no mistakes made by the city task force. But it was this smooth sailing that made him embarrassed and anxious.
Jiang Jingyan was right. It was difficult to be sure of winning against him.
Yan Baiqing is like a mantis stalking a cicada against General Feng's group, while Jiang Jingyan is unaware of the oriole behind.
In desperation, he had to keep Chen Qing by his side in the venue, suppressing all possibilities of unknown occurrences, and only then did he achieve this success.
Chen Qing chose him twice in front of Jiang Jingyan, so he should be happy.
But he knew that she had a purpose.
He knew even more clearly how despicable the means he had used were to win her temporary choice.
"Qing'er." Yan Baiqing lingered his thumb on her cheek, his tone soft, "Just speak boldly."
Chen Qing trembled all over, with redness in the corners of his eyes, "Let me go first."
"What are you afraid of?"
"You're angry."
"Why am I angry?"
She twisted her body, but it didn't help.
Yan Baiqing raised her chin, and his hot breath intertwined with hers, "Be good."
