4-31: Video call
The kiss ended.
Huai Yan was as if she had no bones, and could only barely stand by leaning on Jin Xiuchen.
"Okay, okay..."
The boy's eyes were red-rimmed, his gaze shimmering, and his voice was soft, "Someone will find out..."
"Um."
Jin Xiuchen simply responded with a faint sound, his tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
But when Huaiyan raised her head to follow the other person's gaze...
He immediately noticed the evidence that Jin Xiuchen was unhappy.
The boy hugged Jin Xiuchen tightly around the waist and asked in a soft voice, "You seem a little unhappy."
Jin Xiuchen was taken aback.
He immediately concealed the dark and gloomy emotions in his eyes and put on his usual smile.
"nothing."
Jin Xiuchen lowered his head and placed a light, restrained kiss on the boy's forehead.
He said nothing, but simply led the boy in his arms into the car.
Jin Xiuchen, of course, fully respected Huaiyan's idea.
Before the boy said "I do".
He can't do anything.
-
In the conference room.
Jiang Feng paced back and forth anxiously, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
Despite it being winter, his back was covered in cold sweat, as if he had run several kilometers outside.
The phone rang again.
After recognizing the caller, Jiang Feng pressed the answer button with difficulty.
"Hey, Dad," Jiang Feng's voice trembled, his tone filled with obvious fear, "What do we do next?"
With shareholders withdrawing their investment, the project that had just been agreed upon fell through, and the things they had on hand had even less chance of being sought after.
This is all retribution.
After going around in circles, Jiang Feng could only think of these two words.
Otherwise, why would so many unexpected things have happened during this period?
Huaiyan's sudden breakup.
Originally, Jiang Feng wanted to wait until Lin Mu's position in the Huai family was secure before breaking up with Huai Yan.
Because Lin Mu is the true young master of the Huai family.
Regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Feng felt that the Huai family would not disregard blood ties and abandon their biological son, Lin Mu.
So he kept waiting for the right time, because in the end, the right to inherit the Huai family would most likely be in the hands of his biological son.
In the end, the opportunity didn't come; instead, Huaiyan found out about their affair while at the hospital.
This wouldn't have been a problem, as Huaiyan is always easy to please.
Just a few kind words and the boy will surely obediently return to his side.
But before Jiang Feng could make a move, Jin Xiuchen appeared.
Jiang Feng is now in a dilemma.
He didn't know if Huai Yan would still believe him, nor could he predict how long it would take for Lin Mu to integrate into the Huai family.
Although Jiang Feng still has one last trump card in his hand.
But the series of accidents and mishaps at the company made it impossible for him to remain calm.
He didn't know if that trump card was still useful.
Jiang Feng only understood that if he continued to expect "He" to help him, what would he do?
Then his company is doomed.
"Idiot! What do we do? You're asking me what to do?!"
Jiang's father's angry voice came through the receiver, "Who have you messed with outside?! Do you want your old man to live too long?!"
Jiang Feng was both angry and anxious.
He certainly didn't know which powerful figure he had offended.
Logically speaking, Huaiyan wouldn't treat him this way.
Having been together for so long, when has the boy not been completely obedient, believing whatever he says?
Could it be Jin Xiuchen?
Jiang Feng frowned deeply, having already formed a rough guess in his mind.
Jin Xiuchen actually set his sights on Huaiyan just because of him.
"Dad, how's it going on your end?" Jiang Feng asked anxiously. "The court hasn't found you yet, has it?"
After a bout of dizziness, Jiang Feng ordered himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath and kept thinking of various solutions.
"Are you fucking out of your mind?!" Mr. Jiang started spouting nonsense. "If the court finds me, we're finished!"
The two individuals were involved in a case, including tax evasion, organized crime, and other related offenses.
If they are truly uprooted, they could be locked up in prison for ten years!
"You unfilial son!" Father Jiang was so angry that he felt dizzy and seemed about to faint at any moment.
He said with exasperation, "Go have a meal with him, apologize, and be polite. If he tells you to kneel down, then kneel down!"
"If the company can't be saved, you're never going home again!"
Jiang Feng was severely scolded.
He wanted to refute, but then he thought of Jin Xiuchen's achievements and his status in City A.
Jiang Feng shut his mouth, which was taken as tacit agreement with his father's statement.
As long as he tells Jin Xiuchen that he will no longer compete for the Huai inkstone.
The man would definitely agree.
-
When they returned to the villa, Huaiyan had already tidied his clothes.
To prevent Huaiyi from discovering anything, he specifically asked Jin Xiuchen to place him some distance away from his doorstep.
This way, no one will notice anything, and you can spend some time alone with the man.
However, Huaiyan wasn't afraid that Huaiyi would find out.
He simply felt that explaining it would be a bit troublesome.
Jin Xiuchen is his university professor; it's hard to guarantee that Huaiyi won't have wild thoughts.
and……
Huaiyan stopped thinking about it and walked into the living room.
"You're back?" Huaiyi continued typing, his eyes smiling. "Have you been checking the forum?"
"I saw it."
Huaiyan handed the schoolbag to the servant and asked in confusion, "Brother, don't you need to go to the company?"
Huaiyi is dealing with a minor matter.
Upon hearing this, Huaiyi looked up and teased, "If I go to the company, how am I supposed to clean up your mess?"
Besides, he's only halfway through dealing with Jiang Feng's matter.
You can't deal with scum like this without using some tricks.
However, Huaiyan didn't think much of it.
After saying goodbye to Huaiyi, he went back to his room.
Lin Mu has not returned to the villa yet; it seems he will have to stay in the hospital for some time.
Perhaps because the main character is not here, no ghost stories have happened in the villa these past two days.
Huaiyan guessed that it might be triggered because of plot requirements.
With key figures absent, the plot is left hidden.
Once Lin Mu returns to the villa, this peace will be gone forever.
While Huaiyan was thinking, her phone rang again.
In the short ten minutes or so between getting out of the car and returning to the villa, his phone rang several times.
Huaiyan knew without even thinking who sent the text message.
Sure enough, I opened the chat window and took a look.
All of these messages were sent by Jin Xiuchen.
Jin Xiuchen: I'm home.
Jin Xiuchen: Why aren't you replying to my messages?
-Jin Xiuchen: Speaking.
-Jin Xiuchen: [Voice]
Perhaps seeing that the boy did not reply, the man sent a two-second voice message.
Huai Yan paused in his movements.
He carefully held the receiver to his ear and pressed play.
"Yan Yan".
The man's deep, melodious voice instantly assaulted Huai Yan's eardrums.
Huai Yan's hand trembled, and he pressed play again.
This time, he could clearly feel the man's deep voice.
Huaiyan could even imagine the expression on the man's face when he uttered those two words.
It should be a smile, but the amplitude won't be very obvious.
Just like the curve of the man's lips when they kissed in the car.
Huaiyan couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
Just as he was about to play the voice message again, his phone suddenly rang abruptly.
The ringing startled Huaiyan, almost deafening him.
But when the boy saw that the screen showed a video call from Jin Xiuchen...
His heartbeat then went out of control once again.
Jin Xiuchen must have seen that he hadn't replied to the message, so he sent it.
Answer or not?
Huaiyan hesitated, but her hands reacted faster than her brain.
Before he could even react, his thumb had already pressed the answer button.
Huai Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she placed her phone on the table.
He deliberately pointed the camera at the ceiling and stammered, "Why...why did you call me on video..."
On the screen were Jin Xiuchen's handsome features and a gentle smile.
"Good boy," the man called affectionately, and whispered, "Let me see you."
Huaiyan bit her lip tightly, her heart pounding.
After hesitating for a few seconds, the boy obediently raised his phone.
He pointed the camera at his face and made eye contact with the man on the screen.
"Professor Jin..." the boy called softly, his expression obedient.
"In your room?" Jin Xiuchen chuckled, asking casually, "Alone?"
Although I don't understand why, I don't know what "man" means.
The boy nodded and answered every question: "In the bedroom, there is one person."
After he finished speaking, Jin Xiuchen chuckled softly for some reason.
He asked Huaiyan, "Baby, do you miss me?"
Huai Yan lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling, not daring to meet the man's gaze.
The man's words were so direct that even just listening to them through the screen made Huaiyan blush and her heart race.
"Yes, I do." Huai Yan's voice was barely audible. He countered the man's question, "Then do you miss me?"
"I did."
The man answered without hesitation.
Immediately, Jin Xiuchen raised his cold, dark eyes and stared directly into the eyes of the boy on the screen.
Jin Xiuchen's voice was seductive as he parted his thin lips slightly and said intimately, "I've been thinking about it, baby."
He was so worried about it that his whole body ached.
Especially the chest area.
The man didn't say it outright, his burning gaze fixed on the boy.
“Baby, guess,” Jin Xiuchen asked in a low voice, “where I miss you.”
