Chapter 369: Gentle Trap (Thirteen)
His voice was cold, as if it had been dipped in ice water.

An Jiayi was shocked by the coldness emanating from him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Zhang has always been careless, and she was surprised that he lost his composure this time.

"Why don't you say anything? Isn't this what you want to hear?" Xie Zhang pulled the corner of his lips slightly, and his smile turned cold: "An Jiayi, I'm not a good person. You knew it from the first day."

An Jiayi knew it. She nodded and lowered her eyes and said, "I was abrupt just now. I'm sorry."

Seeing her like this, Xie Zhang couldn't get angry anymore.

The anger around him disappeared in an instant. He bent down and approached, holding An Jiayi in his arms, and said softly: "Jiayi, don't worry about those insignificant people. I thought you would be very happy to see Jiang Yan being taught a lesson. If you are not happy, I will not do it again in the future."

He pronounced a person's fate with such a casual statement.

An Jiayi looked at the scenery outside the window, her eyes unfocused, "Xie Zhang, when you were with Jiang Yan, did you like her?"

"I forgot." The man's voice was cold, "I don't remember what happened between us."

An Jiayi didn't expect that the answer she got would be like this.

She nodded, thinking, and said softly: "I see, you never liked her."

Xie Zhang chuckled. He pinched the tip of An Jiayi's nose and said softly, "Of course I don't like her."

An Jiayi thought that maybe Bian Yue was not lying to her, and she was indeed Xie Zhang's favorite woman.

But this answer did not make An Jiayi happy.

She is essentially from the same class as Jiang Yan and the others. Xie Zhang likes her today and can praise her so highly, but if he changes his mind, what will be her fate?
Will she be the next Jiang Yan?
No one can guarantee this kind of thing.

An Jiayi is not a naive girl who is ignorant of the world. It is normal for the so-called love to turn into enmity in the end.

It's so difficult to part ways amicably.

An Jiayi closed her eyes and whispered in Xie Zhang's arms, "If we separate in the future, can you please not hate me? Don't make it difficult for me to take a step forward? Don't retaliate against me."

Xie Zhang froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and frowned as he looked at the woman in his arms.

Her saying this now might somewhat spoil the mood.

"Jiayi, don't say that. I don't like to hear it."

"But I'm afraid, Xie Zhang. I'm afraid that if you don't love me anymore, I'll be like Jiang Yan." An Jiayi raised her eyes and looked at Xie Zhang without blinking. She said, "When that time comes, what do you want me to do?"

"That day won't come." Xie Zhang felt depressed and couldn't say anything nice to comfort him. He paused and said in a tense voice, "What I mean is, no matter what our ending is, you will not become Jiang Yan."

An Jiayi looked at Xie Zhang's face, and she finally felt relieved. She hugged his waist tightly, closed her eyes and said nothing.

Xie Zhang couldn't understand An Jiayi's paranoid suspicion.

At the Li family's old house, he told Li Siheng and Bian Yue about this matter.

"That Jiang Yan bullied her again and again, and I just wanted to vent her anger, so I intervened and asked Wang Shao to teach Jiang Yan a lesson!" Xie Zhang took a sip of wine and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know what she is angry about? How can I put myself in her shoes!"

Bian Yue listened to Xie Zhang's words, blinked, and said seriously: "Your behavior is very uncivilized, Jiayi must think you are extremely vicious."

On the side, Li Siheng watched Bian Yue's bright expression as she spoke, with a faint smile in his eyes. Xie Zhang sneered, he suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, pointed at himself in disbelief: "You said I was vicious! Bian Yue, you should be responsible for what you say! When have I ever been vicious to her!"

"What's the difference between being mean to others and being mean to her?" Bian Yue frowned, with a bit of disgust in her eyes, "Xie Zhang, I don't know what Jiang Yan did, but no matter what, you punish a woman in this way, you have no manners!"

Xie Zhang originally came here to find someone to comfort him, but Bian Yue's condemnation really made him angry, "Bian Yue! Why are you so mean!"

"How could I?" Bian Yue said innocently, "I'm just speaking objectively. A group of grown men forced a woman to drink at the table. How would it sound good if it were spread out to others?"

"I just asked Wang Shao to beat Jiang Yan. I was surprised that he used this method! But what does this have to do with me!" Xie Zhang was angry and irritable. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Instead of condemning me here, why don't you help me think of a solution!"

Li Siheng raised his eyebrows, "What solution do you want Yueyue to give you?"

"How can I..." Xie Zhang took a deep breath and compromised. His voice suddenly weakened and he whispered, "How can I make An Jiayi stop being so afraid of me."

Bian Yue asked knowingly, "Why are you getting more and more interested in her? Xie Zhang, why don't you think of a way to marry her?"

Marry her
Xie Zhang had never thought of this path.

He and An Jiayi were destined not to get married.

But now, he was indeed being dragged back and forth by her emotions and couldn't control himself.

Xie Zhang never knew before that he could fall in love with someone.

It's rare.

Reason told him that he should stay calm.

But he still rushed back to An Jiayi and accompanied her to sleep.

He hugged her and said that he would not let her become Jiang Yan, would not let her suffer, and even if they were separated in the future, he would make sure she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

The light was too dim and An Jiayi had her back to him. Xie Zhang had no idea what the woman in his arms was thinking.

He clasped his hands around her waist tightly, entangled them, and sighed hoarsely, "Jia Yi, I won't let you suffer, and I won't let others do this to you. As long as I stand in Hong Kong, I won't let others wrong you."

An Jiayi turned her back to Xie Zhang and listened carefully to every word he said. After a long time, she finally relaxed, slowly turned around and hugged him.

She said: "Xie Zhang, I believe you."

All the obstacles between the two seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment.

If I were to describe the six months that followed in one word, it would be the intimacy of our relationship.

Xie Zhang gave everything he could to An Jiayi, and seemed to have really settled down and started to ignore the other beautiful women out there.

Everyone in Hong Kong knew that Young Master Xie raised a delicate flower, and Baiyuan became their love nest.

Wang Shao placed all the company's high-quality resources on An Jiayi, and in a short period of time, An Jiayi became a popular young star.

Everyone knows that An Jiayi is in the limelight.

Over time, people tend to slack off.

Many moments, An Jiayi even forgot that the relationship between her and Xie Zhang was improper. Until Xie Quan ordered someone to call Xie Zhang back home.
