042: "With him, or with me?"
In the dim light, those red eyes were indifferent and cold, like frozen, sharp ice shards.
The man's eyes were cold and sinister.
Like an alpha wolf whose territory has been invaded.
Huai Yan felt a chill run down her spine, her hands and feet turned cold, and she had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Yan Yan." Jiang Ze, seemingly oblivious, forcefully gripped Huai Yan's chin. "Look at me."
But the moment he met those dark red eyes, everything around him seemed to vanish into nothingness.
The lights, the corridor, and even Jiang Ze all became the backdrop for Fu Tingyu.
The man occupies the entire visual center of Huaiyan.
"I……"
Huaiyan's throat tightened, and she couldn't utter a single syllable.
All he could see was the man's cold and aloof appearance.
Fu Tingyu merely glanced at him before calmly looking away.
He turned and left.
The man's back view carried a sense of desolation and resolve.
Are you angry?
For some reason, Huaiyan had a strange feeling.
It's as if if a man doesn't catch up with Fu Tingyu today, he will disappear forever.
It's too late.
Ignoring the discomfort behind him, the boy brushed away the hand that was holding him and pushed Jiang Ze away.
Huaiyan quickly caught up with him.
But men are tall and have long legs, and they walk fast, so it's a bit difficult to catch up with them in a short time.
"Sir..." the boy called softly, his voice filled with helplessness and a sob, "Wait, wait for me..."
Fu Tingyu, however, showed no sign of stopping.
Huaiyan's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she choked back tears as she chased after him.
The man's cold gaze was like a thorn piercing his heart.
Huaiyan was lost in thought and didn't notice that the man was intentionally slowing down.
“Don’t rush,” 073 suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, “Now is the best time to propose a deal.”
"Wh...what?" Huaiyan slowly stopped in her tracks.
“Fu Tingyu definitely knows about your past with Jiang Ze,” 073 said. “Find a way to bring up this topic.”
Jiang Ze's redemption is imminent.
We can't afford to waste any more time.
"Okay." Huaiyan's eyes dimmed in an instant.
Caught off guard, the boy's forehead collided with a broad chest.
"Sir!"
Huaiyan, slightly out of breath, tilted her swan-like neck back and timidly said, "Please, please don't be angry... okay?"
“I have nothing to do with him,” the boy said haltingly, interspersed with a soft groan, “He came to me on his own.”
Seeing Huaiyan's anxious expression, he distanced himself from Jiang Ze.
The man's expression softened slightly, but he remained silent.
"Please don't be angry with me..." Huaiyan started to panic, a blush rising on her soft cheeks. "I..."
Fu Tingyu's indifference often comes when things are at their most serious.
The boy grabbed the man's forearm, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, and pleaded incessantly.
Why, of all times, at this time?
Jiang Ze just happened to come knocking, and the man just happened to return.
"What are you doing?!"
A familiar voice, Jiang Ze's, suddenly came from behind.
Huai Yan's delicate face was streaked with tears.
Upon hearing Jiang Ze's words, he suddenly grabbed Fu Tingyu's arm and shook his head helplessly.
The boy pleaded, not wanting the man to spare even a glance for Jiang Ze.
"Yan Yan".
But Jiang Ze continued, his voice growing colder as he approached, "Who is he?"
As they were talking, Jiang Ze had already arrived in front of the two of them.
Huai Yan's legs went weak and her vision went black.
It's over.
Now it's difficult for Fu Tingyu to avoid paying attention to Jiang Ze.
Huaiyan looked at the man with a guilty conscience.
But their eyes met by chance.
The man's gaze was filled with scrutiny and indifference.
Just as Huai Yan was about to explain, her other wrist was forcefully grabbed.
"Yan Yan." Jiang Ze gritted his teeth, wishing he could hide the boy away. "Is this your other man?"
The boy's swollen, red eyes widened, and tears streamed down his face.
What do you mean by "...another man"?!
"Jiang Ze!" Huai Yan was both shocked and frightened. She gripped the man's hand even tighter. "Let go of me!"
However, Huaiyan's strength was far inferior to Jiang Ze's, and even though he tried to break free, Jiang Ze refused to give an inch.
"Let go?" Jiang Ze sneered, staring at Fu Tingyu with hostility, as if trying to see right through him. "Let you go to sleep with someone else?"
After Jiang Ze finished speaking, Huai Yan trembled and looked at Jiang Ze in disbelief.
He hadn't expected Jiang Ze to think of him that way.
The boy's body trembled slightly, too angry to speak, and he took a step back in a daze.
My body bumped into a warm embrace.
Fu Tingyu put his arm around Huai Yan's shoulder and looked at Jiang Ze expressionlessly.
“If Young Master Jiang is very free,” the man’s voice was cold and deep, with a clear warning in his tone, “I wouldn’t mind keeping you even busier.”
Suddenly, Huaiyan noticed that the atmosphere around him had become even more tense.
"It was you?" Jiang Ze raised his voice, as if he had finally confirmed something, and said with absolute certainty, "Fu Tingyu, it was you who did it."
Wh...what?
Huaiyan subconsciously turned her head, wanting the man to give an answer.
But Fu Tingyu didn't look at him, only showing him half of his handsome profile.
The boy was increasingly confused about the relationship between them.
Or perhaps Fu Tingyu and Jiang Ze had already crossed paths before this?
How could this be?!
In the original storyline, it was because Jiang Ze's company started up and encroached on the interests that shouldn't have been taken away that some companies in the industry united to boycott Jiang's company.
Fu Tingyu was merely adding fuel to the fire, but as a result, he was targeted by Jiang Ze, who wanted to retaliate.
But right now, Jiang Ze's time has only just begun.
How could they possibly have the strength to deal with Fu Tingyu?
Before Huaiyan could even come up with a solution, he had already figured it out.
Jiang Ze gave him a deep look and gently stroked the boy's protruding wrist bone.
"Yan Yan." Jiang Ze's gaze burned as he stared intently into the boy's eyes, asking in a hoarse voice, "With him, or with me?"
Huaiyan was gently pulled away from the man's arms by Jiang Ze.
At this moment, the obedient boy found himself in a dilemma.
Take one step forward, and you'll see Jiang Ze, the male protagonist of this world.
One step further, and there lies the villain, Fu Tingyu, whom we have been striving for for a long time and are finally about to approach.
Once the exchange is made with Fu Tingyu, Jiang Ze's future storyline will definitely be completely different from the original one.
The success rate will also be greater.
But……
"Oh no! Host!" 073 exclaimed in alarm, "Jiang Ze is about to lose control again!"
"But...but I..." Huaiyan said anxiously, biting her bright red lips, "I can't choose him..."
If Jiang Ze is chosen, then all the efforts he and 073 made on Fu Tingyu's side will have been in vain.
“There’s nothing we can do about it,” 073 sighed, feeling distressed. “Jiang Ze has lost control too many times. I’m worried about him; he might go even crazier later.”
Huaiyan stared blankly at Jiang Ze, unable to understand.
He had clearly told Jiang Ze this beforehand.
Why did Jiang Ze arrive without any warning this time?
Moreover, he said a lot of nonsensical things.
It's like they've gone mad.
But there's no other way; Fu Tingyu's progress is faster.
After some deliberation.
The boy lowered his eyes gently, his eyelashes fluttering, concealing his expression.
Tears streamed down that beautiful face once again.
The quiet corridor was only dimly lit by the streetlights coming in from outside the building, barely illuminating the few people there.
They were all waiting for the boy's answer.
a long time.
It's only when a young person has made a decision that it seems.
“I…I want to be with you, sir.”
Huai Yan's voice was soft but firm, "Jiang, I'm sorry."
Then, Huaiyan shook off Jiang Ze's hand and he took it.
The man's expression remained unchanged after receiving the answer.
Without making a sound, she pulled the petite boy back into her arms.
He looked defiantly at Jiang Ze.
With the air of a victor.
"Yan Yan." Jiang Ze's gaze was tangible, fixed intently on the boy. "Remember your choice today."
He seemed to want to lock the boy in the basement forever, his naked eyes no longer concealed.
This is the choice of Huai inkstone.
Huaiyan met Jiang Ze's gaze, was startled, and shrank back a few more feet into the man's arms.
...How terrifying.
Jiang Ze looked like an enraged lion, ready to tear him apart piece by piece.
After Jiang Ze left, the corridor fell silent.
The boy was more concerned about men, and just as he opened his mouth to say, "First..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huaiyan's body went limp, and she collapsed into Fu Tingyu's arms.
"Ugh..." Huaiyan slid down to her knees, following the man's body, "Sir, I...I can't..."
Huaiyan grabbed the man's trouser leg, her body trembling as she apologized, "I...I was wrong...Please...don't be angry..."
The boy knew.
If Huaiyan had chosen Jiang Ze today, she would have left the rented house with him.
Fu Tingyu, on the other hand, has a million ways to bring him back.
And the outcome then would only be worse than today.
Huaiyan had already foreseen the outcome.
The man's desire to control him is too strong, and he is domineering and forceful. He will definitely not let him leave so easily.
Therefore, the multiple-choice question presented by Jiang Ze has no other answer.
Angry Fu Tingyu is far more dangerous than offending Jiang Ze.
Thinking of this, the boy sobbed softly, his eyes reddening.
He was still clutching the man's trouser leg in his palm, pleading.
Then, Fu Tingyu suddenly squatted down and looked the boy in the eye.
He wiped away the tears from Huaiyan's eyes.
