Chapter 364: Tender Trap (VIII)

Jiang Yan walked up to An Jiayi. The distance between them was very close. An Jiayi could even see the tears in Jiang Yan's eyes. Jiang Yan said, "Do you want me to take you to see it?"

Out of rationality, An Jiayi knew that she should reject Jiang Yan.

But she vaguely felt that what Jiang Yan was going to take her to see might also be what she wanted to know.

She said nothing and let Jiang Yan pull her towards the underground garage.

The destination was the top floor of the Hong Kong Hotel. When I walked out of the elevator, I was blocked by a security guard at the entrance.

Jiang Yan raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Xie Zhang.

An Jiayi looked in the direction Jiang Yan's gesture and saw Xie Zhang and a gentle and elegant-looking man. The woman sitting with the two of them had a smile on her face. She tilted her face and listened to the two men chatting with a relaxed expression.

In the middle, Xie Zhang said something unknown, and the woman raised her hand and hit him.

Xie Zhang didn't look angry at all, and he was talking to the woman with a smile.

"That's Bian Yue, the only daughter of the Bian family. The inheritance she has is more than we could ever earn in our lifetime." Jiang Yan's voice fell into An Jiayi's ears like a spell. She said, "Do you see clearly? Only a woman like this can sit at the same table with them and eat on an equal footing. We are nothing but playthings!"

An Jiayi has always known this.

But knowing and seeing with one's own eyes are two completely different things.

An Jiayi's body was very cold, the kind of cold that came from her bone marrow, as if it was corroding her limbs and leaving her no chance of survival.

Her face was pale and desolate. After a long moment, she closed her eyes tightly, turned around, and walked towards the elevator.

The scene just now lingers in my mind.

Jiang Yan and An Jiayi watched the numbers going up and down in the elevator, one by one, rhythmically and regularly.

"This is our life. Do you see these numbers? No matter how high we are, we can't escape the fate of falling. You and I are all like this." Jiang Yan sneered. She stared at An Jiayi, satisfied with the brokenness in her eyes. She said, "I don't need to teach you the truth that everything that rises must fall, right?"

An Jiayi fell seriously ill.

After she returned to Baiyuan, she started to have a fever.

When Xie Zhang came back, he saw her lying on the bed, half dead.

He frowned and waited until the family doctor left before asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

An Jiayi raised her heavy eyelids. Everything she saw was blurry and unclear, except Xie Zhang's face. Every emotion on his face was clearly visible.

Hot tears welled up in An Jiayi's eyes. She spoke in a hoarse voice, choking with sobs, "Mr. Xie, how long will it take?"

Xie Zhang frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"How long will it take for us to separate?" An Jiayi said: "Everything that goes up must come down, am I going to..."

She said no more.

Xie Zhang understood.

His expression darkened. "Who told you anything?"

An Jiayi refused to say anything. She closed her eyes and said slowly, "Why did the previous woman leave?"

Xie Zhang said: "It's not important."

"It's important." An Jiayi said in a low voice, stubbornly, "I need to be mentally prepared."

Xie Zhang pursed his lips, his expression was unhappy. If An Jiayi opened her eyes and looked at him now, she would definitely be able to see the coldness on his face.

But the latter had her eyes closed, so all his emotions were not sensed by her.

"The woman before was different from you." Xie Zhang said this after a long time.

An Jiayi smiled, probably not believing it, "What's the difference?"

Xie Zhang was silent for a moment, and he whispered, "I haven't touched them."

An Jiayi thought that she must have had a high fever and was having hallucinations. She thought this was not a good time to chat, so she remained silent.

Xie Zhang didn't expect An Jiayi's reaction to be so calm. He had already said so much, this woman should at least be a little surprised, right? Why did it seem as if what he said was just nonsense?
Xie Zhang frowned, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Okay, you take a rest first."

An Jiayi heard Xie Zhang's footsteps slowly disappearing.

Her fever got worse at night and her whole face turned red.

Xie Zhang had no choice but to call Bian Yue.

An Jiayi was delirious with fever and heard Xie Zhang say, "Bian Yue, let me use your personal doctor."

"."

"No! I'm not sick." Xie Zhang said, "Don't waste time, send someone over now."

Although An Jiayi didn't know what Bian Yue said, she could tell that the two of them were very familiar with each other when they spoke.

It would be difficult for An Jiayi to speak to Xie Zhang in this tone in her life.

Bian Yue’s family doctor was indeed more professional, probably because the eldest daughter was not in good health.

An Jiayi had an injection and took some special medicine, and this time the high fever finally subsided.

When she woke up, she was sweating and her throat was dry.

An Jiayi stood up and wanted to go to the hall to pour herself a glass of water.

An Jiayi was not familiar with this new home. After searching for a long time, she finally found the way to the hall.

She drank the tea and felt her throat feel better immediately.

Xie Zhang didn't know when he stood behind her. He crossed his arms and looked at her leisurely. He said coldly, "Li Siheng is a really good doctor. It seems that what I thought was right. The medicine used by Bian Yue is really good!"

An Jiayi held the empty teacup and looked at him.

Xie Zhang lazily walked to An Jiayi, took the teacup away, lowered his eyes and looked at her: "What are you looking at? You tormented me all night, and you still dare to look at me like this!"

An Jiayi then lowered her head and said very apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Xie Zhang frowned.

Tsk, that's really funny.

He restrained his expression and said slowly: "Okay, go to bed."

An Jiayi said: "I saw you drinking tea with Bian Yue and the others yesterday."

Xie Zhang's expression was slightly cold. "When did you learn this? Did you start following me?"

An Jiayi said: "Mr. Xie, I won't do that again."

Xie Zhang's anger only lasted for a moment. He was a little curious, "Why are you following me?"

"I didn't follow him. Someone took me to see him." An Jiayi paused and said, "Mr. Xie, I know why I have been acting so abnormal recently."

"why?"

An Jiayi raised her eyes and looked at Xie Zhang, "I like you a little bit."

Xie Zhang thought that An Jiayi was either very naive or stupid.

He prefers the latter.

We are all adults, and some things become meaningless once they are said.

"It's meaningless for you to tell me this." Xie Zhang said, "An Jiayi, the relationship between us has nothing to do with love."

An Jiayi felt that the water she just drank was a little sour, and her nose was red. "I know, I just want to tell you. If I can't manage my own feelings, I will choose to leave."

It turns out it wasn't a confession, it was a farewell.
