Chapter 373 Gentle Trap (Seventeen)
This answer was beyond An Jiayi's expectations.

She looked at Lin Leyao more and more confusedly, and asked puzzledly: "Ms. Lin, what do you mean?"

"I hope you can stay with Xie Zhang. Of course, I mean after we get married." Lin Leyao's smile deepened, and she said, "Miss An, to be honest, I also have someone I like, but with our backgrounds, marriage is destined to be something we can't do as we please."

Lin Leyao placed a black card in front of An Jiayi and said, "This is my gift to you. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

An Jiayi pushed the card back and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin, but I can't accept your things."

"That's right. You should have everything you need by Xie Zhang's side. I was rude." Lin Leyao was rejected, but she didn't seem angry. She took back the black card. Still smiling, "How old is Miss An this year? She should be very young, right?"

An Jiayi acquiesced and said, "Ms. Lin should have investigated my identity thoroughly."

"Yes, you are someone close to Xie Zhang after all, so I have to be careful. But I saw you today, and I like you very much." Lin Leyao paused, her eyes became serious, "Miss An, are you willing to give birth to Xie Zhang's child?"

An Jiayi thought she had heard it wrong.

Her astonishment was too obvious, while Lin Leyao on the opposite side remained calm.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my question." Lin Leyao spread her hands and said, "Miss An, you should know very well that a family like ours must have offspring. As I just said, I have someone I like, so if you are willing to give birth to Xie Zhang's child, I can treat him as my own."

An Jiayi's heart suddenly contracted, as if it was pricked by a needle, and it was extremely painful.

Her eyes were slightly red. "I won't trade my own child."

"Why do you have to say such harsh words? I can give this child a future that you can't give."

There was a subtle arrogance in Lin Leyao's matter-of-fact tone, "Miss An's family background is not good, right? There should be no way to give this child a bright future, right? But I can. As long as he is under my name, he will be the natural heir of the Xie family in the future."

An Jiayi couldn't listen any longer. She stood up suddenly, anger in her eyes was clear. "Ms. Lin, I won't sell my child, and I won't give birth to a child without a name or status. Xie Zhang won't marry me, and I won't humiliate myself by giving birth to a child for him. I think there's nothing to say between us. Go away."

Lin Leyao didn't expect that the woman Xie Zhang kept by his side would have such a strong personality.

When she first saw An Jiayi, she thought this woman was a weak little white rabbit who had no temper at all.

Now it seems that he not only has a temper, but also a very bad temper.

interesting.

Lin Leyao smiled calmly and stood up. "You must feel that your words and actions are very courageous now, but not everyone in this world is qualified to talk about courage. Miss An, I kindly remind you that what you should think about is how to live a good life."

Xie Zhang stood at the door with an annoyed expression.

He didn't want Lin Leyao and An Jiayi to have a private chat, but the two women just excluded him at the same time.

As time passed, he became more and more upset. Now, the door that had been closed for a long time finally opened. Xie Zhang was stunned when he saw Lin Leyao walking out.

"What did you talk about?"

"I told her that I didn't mind her existence, and of course, she was welcome to have a child, and I would treat her as my own."

Lin Leyao said this and looked at the shock on Xie Zhang's face with satisfaction. She had an innocent expression and blinked, with a malicious smile, "Why do you have that expression? Xie Zhang, you should know very well in your heart that this is a very good ending for you. Not all women have the tolerance I have to accommodate her." "You can go." Xie Zhang walked past Lin Leyao expressionlessly.

Lin Leyao stood there, feeling the door closing behind her, and smiled indifferently.

Painful?
Who doesn’t feel pain?
She persuaded herself to marry a man she did not love. Wasn't that painful? They were not the only ones who suffered.

Lin Leyao's eyes were red. She took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and a tall young man wearing a baseball cap had an expressionless face. He watched Lin Leyao walk into the elevator, and without hesitation, he grabbed her hand and held her in his arms.

The elevator door closed slowly. Assistant Xie Zhang who was outside could see clearly that the young man pushed Lin Leyao into the elevator and kissed her fiercely.

The assistant only hated himself for wearing glasses when he went out today. Why did he have to stand here? Looking at this scene, should he tell Xie Zhang or not?

In the office, An Jiayi sat motionless until Xie Zhang hugged her in his arms. Then she blinked and came back to her senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Zhang paused and said, "Lin Leyao has someone she likes. I know she won't make things difficult for you."

"Xie Zhang, what's the point of you getting married like this?" An Jiayi asked sincerely from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Zhang didn't know how to answer. At this moment, all explanations were pale.

He could only say: "Jia Yi, you should have realized that Lin Le Yao won't care about your existence. The two of us can still be like before, nothing will change."

"I don't like this kind of life." An Jiayi said softly: "Xie Zhang, I really don't like it, please let me go."

Xie Zhang's hands were shaking.

The fierce conflict of homework and the current dead silence, I don’t know which moment is more hopeless.

Xie Zhang didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only say, "How about I send you to study abroad? When you are abroad, these things won't affect you."

An Jiayi refused to agree. She simply ignored Xie Zhang's words and asked, "If I leave you now, does that count as betrayal?"

"Not counting."

An Jiayi nodded. She finally asked the question that concerned her most, "Will you retaliate against me?"

Xie Zhang seemed to be hit by a stick. He was a little stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. He asked with difficulty: "Why do you think I will retaliate against you?"

"Because of Jiang Yan." An Jiayi said calmly: "I want to part ways with you in peace."

In fact, she did not leave any leeway for Xie Zhang. The moment his marriage came up, An Jiayi had no intention of continuing to pester him.

Xie Zhang's hands were shaking even more. "Didn't you hear what Lin Leyao just said? She doesn't care, and I don't care either. Why are you so entangled?"

An Jiayi's eyes, which had been red all the time, finally became bloodshot. She said, "Xie Zhang, am I not worthy of a legitimate relationship?"
