Chapter 519: Jiang Chenghao and Qin Yiyan's Shura Field

~7 min read 1,397 words

Liu Xin'ai subconsciously shut her mouth.

What she hated seeing most was the half-smiling, half-sneering expression currently on Qin Yiyan's face.

It made it impossible to see through what he was thinking, nor did she know what he intended to do next.

"I'm done speaking. If there's nothing else, I want to go home; I'm not feeling well."

Liu Xin'ai couldn't be bothered to say more to him, dropped this sentence, and intended to turn and leave.

But she didn't expect her wrist to be grabbed forcefully again, and a sudden wave of pain shot through her.

"Let go!!!"

Liu Xin'ai turned her head to glare at him.

Qin Yiyan not only didn't let go, but upon hearing this, he immediately gripped even tighter.

"You think you can just leave after saying enough? Where in this world is there such a cheap deal?"

He asked back with a smile, stepping forward instead of back, forcing Liu Xin'ai until she wished she could press herself against the wall.

"You..." Liu Xin'ai was just preparing to push him away violently.

Just at this moment—

"Qin Yiyan! Let go!!!"

A male voice suddenly interrupted the two's conversation, walking out from the corner they had entered from, his face full of rage.

"Cheng Hao?"

Liu Xin'ai's face was instantly filled with shock and embarrassment, and her mind went blank for a moment.

How could Cheng Hao have come over?

Did he... hear everything that was just said?

Liu Xin'ai stared blankly at the person before her, forgetting even to shake off the hand Qin Yiyan was still holding.

Qin Yiyan, however, reacted, sneering; there was no longer the warmth on his face that he had shown Jiang Chenghao earlier, and his expression looked somewhat provocative instead.

Anyway, the words just now should have been heard for the most part.

So... there was no need to continue pretending.

"Let go!!!"

Jiang Chenghao took a step forward, staring at Qin Yiyan with an unkind expression, his hand hanging by his side already tightly clenched into a fist.

Qin Yiyan still did not let go, only asking leisurely: "Mr. Jiang, I am talking to my fiancée; you suddenly rushing out to interrupt, I'm afraid that's not very appropriate, is it?"

Fiancée...

Hearing this, Jiang Chenghao's hand tightened a few degrees more, but his ears were filled with all the words Liu Xin'ai had just said.

The two of them didn't come together because they were in love at all!

It was a business marriage through and through!

He was truly a fool... how could he have thought before that Qin Yiyan was treating her well with sincerity?

He clearly didn't have her in his eyes at all!

"Xin'ai, you two..."

Jiang Chenghao looked at Liu Xin'ai, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for a moment, and she opened her mouth, but for a time, she didn't know how to answer.

"Our affairs... won't trouble Mr. Jiang to worry about..."

Qin Yiyan took the words in stride, and after finishing, he turned his head to look at Liu Xin'ai on the side, deliberately asking with a smile: "Xin'ai, didn't you say you weren't feeling well just now? Let's go, I'll take you home."

As he spoke, he dragged Liu Xin'ai toward the outside of the venue without hesitation.

"Xin'ai!!!"

Jiang Chenghao wanted to stop them, but before his outstretched hand could touch Liu Xin'ai, he saw her gently shake her head at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Chenghao's hand stopped in mid-air, and he could only watch helplessly as the two left.

Until the sound of footsteps completely disappeared.

After a long while...

He leaned silently against the wall, his face revealing a level of vexation he hadn't shown for some time.

Xin'ai was being forced...

She was being forced to be with someone she didn't like...

No... she wouldn't be happy this way.

Jiang Chenghao thought of the scene just now, and a dangerous thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Inside the banquet hall—

Qin Yiyan pulled Liu Xin'ai away the whole way, and not until the two entered the elevator did he let go of her hand with a gloomy face.

Liu Xin'ai immediately lowered her head to check her wrist, and sure enough, she saw a circle that had already been chafed red.

She didn't say anything extra, only moving a step to the side to put some distance between her and the person beside her.

Qin Yiyan didn't speak either; the two were silent all the way to the parking lot, and silent all the way back home.

As soon as they entered the door, Liu Xin'ai walked up the stairs with long strides, rushed back to her room, and locked the door behind her.

Thinking of Jiang Chenghao's shocked and pained expression just now, Liu Xin'ai felt sad to the extreme in an instant.

What to do...

Cheng Hao knows everything...

She had originally wanted to hide it from him.

It's all Qin Yiyan's fault!

If it weren't for him suddenly going crazy... no, that's not right!

Everything today was deliberately arranged by him!

It was he who intentionally wanted her to run into Cheng Hao!

Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but flare up again, so she had to hurriedly close her eyes, trying to calm her emotions.

"Click."

A soft sound suddenly rang out in the room.

Liu Xin'ai opened her eyes instantly, and immediately saw a certain person, who, just like before, had walked through from the walk-in closet without greeting, barging directly into her room.

Their eyes met; Liu Xin'ai didn't need to look to know that she didn't have a pleasant expression on her face at this moment.

She silently withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look out the window, making it clear she didn't want to talk.

Yet she heard footsteps gradually approaching her.

Qin Yiyan stood before her on his own accord, his expression not appearing displeased at all.

It was just that the words he spoke were not very pleasant to hear.

"Today is the last time. From now on, I don't want you to have any contact with Jiang Chenghao again. There is no need for you two to meet ever again!!!"

His tone was firm, as if he were issuing an order to Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai finally raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes filled with shock; she simply couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"What did you say? By what right do you restrict me from meeting others?"

She questioned him with agitated emotions.

Whether she went to see Jiang Chenghao or not was her own business; by what right did Qin Yiyan restrict her like this?

Qin Yiyan answered as if it were only natural: "Of course it's because he is your ex-boyfriend. There shouldn't be any man in this world who wants his fiancée to still have contact with her ex-boyfriend, right? You have already met twice right under my nose; could I be any more tolerant?"

"You!!!"

Liu Xin'ai was left speechless by him, with only a chest full of indignation and nowhere to vent it.

Wasn't today's meeting something he deliberately arranged to humiliate her?

How could he still have the nerve to lecture her on her faults now?

Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath, just about to retort—

Qin Yiyan continued, saying: "Regarding this matter, I have already given you enough face. If I discover it again, I might accidentally... tell your father about this directly. Tell me, if he finds out, what kind of reaction will he have?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of panic quickly crossed Liu Xin'ai's eyes: "Qin Yiyan! Just try telling my father about this! Can you be any more shameless! You know full well that my father's health cannot handle anger!"

"I'm shameless?"

Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow: "Say whatever you want; anyway, my image in your heart isn't that great, is it?"

He smiled indifferently and then asked in return: "Don't you think you understand me very well? So you should understand that I am not trying to scare you with these words, but rather... reminding you! You had better not treat my words as wind in your ears; my patience also has its limits. The power to decide this matter is in your own hands!"
