Chapter 376 Gentle Trap (Twenty)
Lin Leyao looked at Xie Zhang in astonishment, "Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life just for An Jiayi?"

Xie Zhang sneered, and with some determination, he said: "Why do you think I can't marry her?"

Lin Leyao was stunned. He looked at Xie Zhang, shook his head slowly, and said, "Are you crazy? You should know that marrying me and then continuing your life with An Jiayi is the best choice. I don't understand why you want to embarrass everyone like this?"

"I didn't come to you to listen to your criticism." Xie Zhang interrupted Lin Leyao impatiently. He frowned and looked cold. "Tell me, what do you want to tell my father that you don't plan to marry me?"

"I understand. You don't want to marry me, and you want me to be the bad guy? Xie Zhang, what good will it bring me if I help you like this!" Lin Leyao's eyes were filled with anger and coldness: "Or, if I refuse to give in, you will use Ah Jin to threaten me?"

Xie Zhang did not deny Lin Leyao's statement, but that was the worst move, and Xie Zhang did not intend to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

"I know you care a lot about that boy. Don't worry, as long as you take the initiative to cancel the engagement, I won't let your family know about what happened between you two."

In other words, the meaning is clear.

Lin Leyao was on the verge of collapse. She looked at Xie Zhang and said with great difficulty, "Xie Zhang. Ajin is innocent."

"Of course, Jiayi is innocent too." Xie Zhang smiled calmly and persuaded her. He said, "Ms. Lin, you can't bear to let Ajin get hurt, so do you want my woman to pay the price of our marriage?"

Lin Leyao understood that Xie Zhang had made up his mind.

There was no point in saying more. Lin Leyao was defeated and her voice became weak. "Since you have made up your mind, I respect your choice. Xie Zhang, I can go and talk to my uncle to cancel the engagement with you, but do you really think that doing so will not anger my uncle?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"Don't treat our fathers as fools. They are all outstanding people who have won the family competition. You still need some skills to take them into account."

Xie Zhang turned a deaf ear to it.

He just said coldly: "Miss Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you. When everything is over, I will hand your Ajin safely to you."

What happened later was nothing more than a turbulent undercurrent on the surface and in the network.

Lin Le spread rumors that his and Xie Zhang's personalities were incompatible, so the marriage was called off.

How could Xie Quan not see that it was his own son who was secretly behind the scenes?

He was very angry, but he still suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Le Yao, your uncle really likes you. You can't marry Xie Zhang. Your uncle is very sorry."

"Uncle, please don't say that. No matter what the relationship between me and Xie Zhang is, in my eyes, you are my elder. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future, and I will still treat you as a family member."

After An Jiayi finished speaking, she looked at Xie Zhang, her smile deepened, and she said softly, "Of course, Xie Zhang treats my parents the same way, right?"

Xie Zhang readily followed suit and agreed with a smile. He and Xie Quan sent An Jiayi to the door.

It was not until the stretched commercial vehicle slowly drove away that the smile on Xie Quan's face suddenly disappeared.

He looked at Xie Zhang expressionlessly, and without saying a word, slapped him in the face.

"You are really promising! You even included your own father in this!" Xie Quan was furious and shouted, "Xie Zhang! What on earth do you want to do! Have you forgotten your identity?"

Xie Zhang was slapped by Xie Quan. He turned his face away, his expression gloomy and unpredictable. After a long while, he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips carelessly. "Dad, you lost your composure."

Xie Quan really didn't understand how Xie Zhang had the nerve to talk back at him!
He sneered repeatedly and said angrily: "Good! Very good! Did I lose my composure? Xie Zhang, I think you don't know what you are doing! With Lin Leyao's family background, personality and talents, what else can you be dissatisfied with!"

"Very satisfied, there's nothing wrong with her." Xie Zhang said calmly: "But I don't like her."

"You like that little actor, right? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I won't agree!"

Xie Zhang looked at Xie Quan expressionlessly, and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to agree, but I don't plan to get married in the next few years, so please don't introduce me to anyone."

Xie Quan's expression became a little strange. He looked at Xie Zhang with a half-smile and said meaningfully, "Do you really think that An Jiayi will follow you wholeheartedly? Xie Zhang, you still haven't experienced enough how fickle women are!"

Xie Zhang couldn't hear anything. He just wanted to seize the time and bring An Jiayi back to his side.

Only now did he realize how painful it was to be thinking about someone. He couldn't stand even a single second of her being away from him.

"Father, you don't need to tell me what kind of person An Jiayi is. I know her character, and I absolutely don't believe that she will change."

Xie Quan looked at Xie Zhang's confident expression, and his sneer intensified. He said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see. I want to see how long you can hold out!"

After Xie Zhang left the Xie family, he did not dare to stay for a moment and walked towards An Jiayi's residence.

The residence that Wang Shao arranged for An Jiayi had all been reviewed by Xie Zhang. Now, he repeated the address that he knew by heart.

He was going to find her, now, right now!
He doesn't want to wait even a minute!
In the quiet and cozy little apartment, Xie Zhang entered the password and pushed the door open.

"Jiayi, I."

But the next moment, the smile on his face completely disappeared.

Xie Zhang saw An Jiayi lying on the bed, naked, and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Xie Zhang's brain exploded. He looked at An Jiayi in disbelief, his voice trembling: "Who is in there?"

An Jiayi's eyes were calm. She took the thin blanket beside her, draped it over herself, got out of bed, and walked towards Xie Zha.

"Mr. Xie, there's no need to look so shocked. Haven't you seen me naked?" An Jiayi smiled. She walked in front of Xie Zhang and said softly, "I didn't expect that Mr. Xie would come back to look for me."

Xie Zhang just felt that all his senses had become dull.

He stared at An Jiayi for a long time, then said hoarsely, "Jiayi, what are you doing? Come with me."

He still compromised.

She could pretend that none of this happened.

But An Jiayi took a step back and said, "Mr. Xie, I am not young anymore. I can't live my whole life with you in the dark. This boss is very good. He said he would marry me."
