Chapter 372 Gentle Trap (XVI)
An Jiayi was disappointed when she heard what Xie Zhang said. "I thought you would at least tell me, but you treated me like a fool! You were getting married, why didn't you tell me!"

Her questioning was so desperate and sharp that it seemed to have cut through the last veil in the quiet car, revealing all the unbearable gloom.

Xie Zhang looked at An Jiayi expressionlessly. At this point, his expression turned cold and his tone became chilly. "You are telling me this now because you want me to give you an explanation? An Jiayi, why do you want me to give you an explanation?"

An Jiayi felt a fishy smell rising in her chest. She covered her mouth and pulled the locked car door.

"Open the door! I want to get out!" she said, pulling the handlebars hard without caring about the consequences.

Xie Zhang's face changed. He stopped An Jiayi's crazy movements and said nervously, "Are you crazy? What are you going to do?"

"I want to go down! I don't want to stay with you, Xie Zhang, you make me sick!" She said as she broke down and cried.

She was clearly the one who was expressing her dissatisfaction crazily, but she looked much more desperate than Xie Zhang.

Xie Zhang held An Jiayi's wrist tightly, his grip was tight, and his voice was tense, "I won't let you get off the car, you stay here obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!"

An Jiayi saw the resoluteness in Xie Zhang's eyes, and she suddenly realized something. Her eyes trembled and she said in a hoarse voice: "You want me to stay with you like this forever, and when you marry Miss Lin, I will be your underground lover, right?"

She spoke softly, but the words she asked were so sharp.

Xie Zhang's expression changed again and again. He also felt guilty, but at this moment, he couldn't show it. He lowered his eyes, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and said coldly: "Yes! Even if I get married, I will not separate from you! Jiayi, listen to me, if you follow me now, I will give you whatever you want. Isn't this better than finding someone else?"

An Jiayi nodded repeatedly, the tears in her eyes fell like beads from a broken string, and she couldn't stop her tears from falling. "Should I thank you again, thank you for thinking about me so much? Xie Zhang, are you still a human being?"

Xie Zhang pursed his lips. He was just not prepared for An Jiayi to suddenly know the truth at the beginning, but now he has calmed down, so he said in a deep voice: "I know you can't accept it for a while, don't worry, I will give you time."

"That's enough!" An Jiayi couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Xie Zhang, "Give me some time? Xie Zhang, how can you say that?"

Xie Zhang's face was tense. He stared into An Jiayi's tearful eyes and said, "It's very late now. Let's go home first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

An Jiayi knew that she couldn't leave.

Xie Zhang wouldn't let her go.

Even now, with all the truth laid out, they knew that the time had come to make a decision.

But Xie Zhang refused to let go. He would rather both of them suffer like this.

An Jiayi sat in the car and felt Xie Zhang starting the car. The scenery in her sight began to move. Her eyes were unfocused and she never said another word from then on.

City center, Xie Group, president's office.

Xie Zhang took An Jiayi back from the crew without giving any reason, but An Jiayi knew in her heart that he was afraid that she would run away.

An Jiayi was planning to run away, but not now. She had to make Xie Zhang understand first that the relationship between them should indeed end.

An Jiayi doesn't want to be Jiang Yan.

So she let Xie Zhang take her away without any more resistance like she had last night.

In the office, Xie Zhang squatted down, looked up at An Jiayi who was sitting on the sofa, his brows were somewhat gentle, he asked softly: "Jiayi, what do you want to eat?" An Jiayi closed her eyes and let the soreness spread in her eye sockets.

“I don’t want to eat anything,” she said.

"Then sit down and have a good rest. I'll take you home when I'm done. I've moved your favorite fish tank back to Baiyuan. And the vegetables at the door, didn't you grow them very carefully? I've moved them all over for you. From now on, we'll live a good life."

He said this, completely immersed in his own world.

An Jiayi really didn't understand how he could be so calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

An Jiayi's face was confused. She opened her eyes, frowned and looked at Xie Zhang for a long time, then said softly, "As long as you are happy."

It was like punching cotton, there was no reaction.

Xie Zhang did not get the answer he wanted.

His eyes turned dim, he smiled, and said slowly: "Of course I'm happy, having you by my side is better than anything else."

The two were in a stalemate when the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

Xie Zhang's personal assistant was looking anxious and apologetically at Xie Zhang, saying, "Mr. Xie, Miss Lin must come in, I can't stop her."

An Jiayi's body froze for a moment as if an electric shock had occurred.

She looked up blankly and saw the woman walking in from outside.

The woman was tall, with neat short hair and an outstanding temperament. More importantly, she looked bold and confident, which was completely different from her own lack of confidence.

Before coming, Lin Leyao never thought that Xie Zhang would bring his lover into the office.

She was also stunned when she saw An Jiayi sitting on the sofa.

Xie Zhang spoke first, in a bad tone, "Lin Leyao, when did I say I wanted to see you? You came uninvited like this, don't you think you are being unruly?"

"How dare you say that to me?" Lin Leyao sneered and sat down opposite An Jiayi. She crossed her slender legs, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. She said, "This tea is not bad. Ask your assistant to send some to me."

Xie Zhang's expression was as cold as ice. "I'm warning you, get out right now. There's no need for us to talk here."

"I have nothing to say to you." Lin Leyao put down the teacup. She looked straight at An Jiayi, smiled, and said, "Miss An, I have something to tell you."

An Jiayi didn't know what was wrong with her and she actually agreed to Lin Leyao like that.

Xie Zhang went out with a lot of anger, and only two women were left in the office.

Lin Leyao smiled and said generously, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here before I came."

"Ms. Lin, Xie Zhang was still single when I was with him. Don't worry, I know you are going to get married soon, and I will leave her." An Jiayi said sincerely, "If my presence makes you uncomfortable, I apologize here."

"He's just a man, there's nothing to be uncomfortable about." Lin Leyao waved her hand, looking nonchalant, "Don't worry, I'm not meeting you to persuade you to leave Xie Zhang."
