Chapter 193 The Wayward Child
Soon, An Yan took a taxi over. Before she could get out of the car, she saw Sima Jixuan coming over to open the door for her and said, "An Yan, you're finally here."
An Yan stood in front of him and said, "I was busy these past two days, so I missed the appointment that day. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat." Sima Jixuan said as he opened the car door and motioned An Yan to get in.
"Let me drive." An Yan walked around Sima Jixuan and sat in the driver's seat.
Sima Jixuan did not refuse and sat in the passenger seat.
An Yan drove and found a quiet place, stopped the car, rolled down the window first so that it wouldn't be too stuffy, and took out the jewelry from her bag, handed it to him, and said, "You can keep this."
"This is specially given to you." Sima Jixuan was a little unhappy and said, "Take it back. It's yours now."
"I can't use it, so I'll save it for someone who's really suitable for her in the future."
"You're rejecting me."
"Xiao Ji, I always treat you as my younger brother." An Yan spoke to him kindly.
"You can treat me as a man. I need this opportunity."
"That day, no matter who it was, I would have saved them. It was my instinct."
"But I want to pledge my love to you."
"You are still young and haven't seen much. Don't be too willful."
"I'm not willful, I'm just thinking it over carefully. I'm a man, no different from Li Rongsen and Bai Shichen. You can't treat me like a child." Sima Jixuan was a little excited.
An Yan didn't want to provoke him, so she looked at his left hand and said, "Hold your hand out."
"I don't want it." Sima Jixuan refused.
"Then I'll get off." An Yan made a move to get off, and immediately heard Sima Jixuan say, "Don't get off, I'll show you."
An Yan carefully observed his left hand, and took out a gold needle and inserted it into one of Sima Jixuan's acupuncture points, which immediately caused him to cry out, "It hurts."
"Of course you're in pain, but it's just that your nerves are blocked, which is very dangerous." An Yan frowned and said, "Fortunately, the problem is not too serious, but you need to rest and apply medicine."
Sima Jixuan stared at An Yan. He liked the way she looked when she worried about him. She was so beautiful.
An Yan asked again: "How did you injure your hand? Old injuries plus new injuries, two serious injuries, this is no joke."
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, which hurt my eyes a little.
An Yan went to look for the source and found two people taking random photos through the car window with cameras.
But Sima Jixuan did not stop it. Instead, he enjoyed creating these gossips with a smile on his face.
One of them even boldly asked, "Excuse me, are you two in a relationship?"
An Yan didn't say anything. She opened the car door and got out. She snatched the camera from the man's hand, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with one foot. This made the other man extremely panicked, and he quickly said, "You don't have to do this."
"If you don't let me step on the camera, I will step on you and throw the camera on the ground." An Yan ordered him coldly.
"This camera is very expensive." The man was about to run away when he was hit by a stone in the leg. He had to drop the camera and turned to look at An Yan, saying, "I won't say anything. I didn't see anything."
An Yan simply crushed the camera next to him, then returned to the car and said to Sima Jixuan, "I know the newspaper belongs to you, and you're the head of the family now. If any news about us appears in the newspaper again, you and I will be strangers."
"You are threatening me."
"You were the one who threatened me with the gossip first. I can let the matter go unanswered as to why those two people showed up just now, but I won't do it again."
"I can take care of your future and everything you have. You don't have to worry about life anymore."
"I've never worried." An Yan was telling the truth.
Sima Jixuan lowered his head. He seemed to feel a little frustrated because he didn't seem to know how to please An Yan. He said, "Whatever you ask for, I can agree to it."
"I don't have any requests. Just heal my hand first." An Yan said, and then asked, "The jewelry is very expensive. Where did you get the money?"
"I earned it honestly." Sima Jixuan said confidently.
"Can you tell me how you make money?" An Yan asked.
"Of course, but I need to borrow your house for a while."
After hearing what he said, An Yan drove the car back home. Just as she stopped the car, she saw Sima Jixuan get out of the car.
An Yan also got off the car with him and went home together.
After Sima Jixuan entered the room, he sat down in front of the piano and began to play the piano, which was like the sound of nature.
An Yan understood everything now. She stood on the side of the sofa and said, "So, this is how you injured your hand. Don't play anymore."
"I like playing the piano, especially for you alone. It's my best thing." Although Sima Jixuan's hands hurt, he was unwilling to stop. He wanted to dedicate all his talents to An Yan.
Originally he was doing it to make money, but today he is doing it for the woman he loves.
An Yan walked over, held his left hand, and said, "Stop playing, don't be willful." She added, "Your family probably doesn't approve of you playing the piano, so you accidentally hurt your hand, right?"
"It wasn't an accident, it was intentional." Sima Jixuan replied.
This surprised An Yan. She heard him say, "My father thought that by injuring my hand and preventing me from playing the piano, I would obediently run the family business. But I refused. I ran away from home because I wanted to destroy myself."
An Yan just listened quietly without saying anything.
"They don't care about what I want to do. They just want to satisfy their personal needs. I am just a puppet, a puppet. I can't have my own ideas, my own pursuits, and my own life."
"Then why did you go back?"
"Because I need to give you a safe haven. You can't suffer with me. Although I can make a living by playing the piano, it is not enough for you. I need to give you the best."
An Yan frowned. She looked at the big boy who was a head taller than her and didn't know what to say.
Maybe she really shouldn't treat him as a child. He has his own ideas.
Sima Jixuan said, "How about having dinner together?"
"Bai Shichen is very worried about you, you should tell him." An Yan told him.
"I have already told him, and I have discussed with him about cooperating in growing agricultural products. He is better than Li Rongsen." Sima Jixuan seemed to be telling tales. He didn't actually hate Li Rongsen, but he just disliked him for some reason, perhaps because An Yan's attitude towards him was a little different.
An Yan ignored his words and said, "Let's go, go back." Then she turned around.
Sima Jixuan grabbed An Yan's hand, intending to pull her into his arms, but An Yan instinctively pushed him away, throwing him onto the sofa. She rolled on the ground, groaning uncontrollably, her waist almost breaking in pain.
The door opened and Xiaohua walked in. She was slightly surprised to see Sima Jixuan lying on the ground and asked An Yan, "What's going on?"
"He fell." An Yan didn't tell her the truth. She walked over and pulled Sima Jixuan up, then said to him, "I have something to do today, so I'll leave first. I'll ask Xiaohua to boil some medicine for you."
"I won't take the medicine if it's not prepared by you yourself!" Sima Jixuan shouted at An Yan's figure.
He says he is not a child, but his behavior is like a child. An Yan muttered to herself, and then planned to go back to Hua Ye.
