Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Groom Ran Away on the Wedding Night (Part 28)

“Hurry up.” Ah Chen smiled and waved to the person below, “Autumn nights are cold too, don’t catch a chill.”

Yuan Zhicheng yawned in the car.

When the boss dragged him out of bed at midnight back then to sort documents, he knew this was a capitalist. But to be fair, the boss wasn’t like those heartless capitalists who deserved to hang on lampposts; though he worked him hard, he paid him well enough.

He made the right bet.

Now all he needed to do was run errands for the boss to earn money, without having to worry about risky work; life couldn’t be more comfortable.

He yawned again and said to the driver, “Let’s go, find a hotel in town, and we’ll come over when the boss needs us.”

Probably taking his time leaving the Lv Family.

He could finally get a good sleep.

Today had exhausted him.

After all, he was getting older, not as robust as the young boss.

He’d return to visit his family tomorrow.

Although he no longer feared Yun Qing, Dengtong Town had developed well, and his family didn’t want to move elsewhere, so they settled there, and he didn’t force them.

Ah Chen opened the door, and Xie Yan was waiting outside. Under the cover of night, his gaze greedily swept over her body.

When his eyes landed on the bracelet on her wrist, a wild thought emerged in his mind.

He imagined the bracelet as handcuffs, locking Sister Ah Chen by his side forever.

But as soon as the thought arose, he quickly suppressed it, feeling frustrated. How could he have such despicable, sinister thoughts? He couldn’t do anything to hurt her.

“What are you thinking about?” Ah Chen asked with a smile, knowing he was having another bout of his old habit.

This habit probably couldn’t be changed.

Smashed into so many pieces, and each piece carried a bit of an issue.

But it was harmless, as he only dared to think, not act.

Xie Yan hadn’t snapped back to reality yet and blurted his deepest desire: “I want to lock Sister Ah Chen by my side forever and never let you go anywhere.”

As soon as he spoke, he froze.

Usually dominant in business, he visibly panicked.

Standing at the door, in that moment, he looked like a dog that had done something wrong, afraid of being abandoned.

“Just thinking is enough, you can’t do that, understand?” Ah Chen said with a smile, seeing he didn’t dare to move or step inside, she reached out and tugged his sleeve, pulling him in.

Xie Yan quickly said, “Sister Ah Chen, I’m sorry.”

He shouldn’t have such thoughts.

But sometimes he couldn’t help himself; he was crazy about her, ever since they met. She was all he could think about. Later, she helped him, and he couldn’t help it even more. As time passed, he hoped the world only had two people: him and her.

“You haven’t eaten, right? I warmed up some milk with oatmeal for you. It’s late, you shouldn’t eat much, have some milk oatmeal.” Ah Chen took out a cup of warm milk oatmeal and handed it to him.

Xie Yan didn’t dare speak now, quietly drinking.

Such a big guy, sitting at the table, looked a bit pitiful, which amused Ah Chen.

“Why are you back so late?” she asked.

Xie Yan tightened his grip on the cup, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Because he missed her, wanted to see her, desperately wanted to see her.

Countless times he wanted to voice his desires, but could he? He feared saying it would make her turn away and never bother with him again.

He was scared.

Ah Chen sat opposite, propped her chin, and stared at him: “Can’t say it?”

“Then let it go, hurry and drink then wash up, you’re familiar here.”

Just as Ah Chen was about to get up, Xie Yan hurriedly spoke, “I can say it.”

“Hmm?” Ah Chen continued to sit, waiting for him to speak.

Xie Yan looked up at her directly, his eyes filled with intense love that he no longer hid. She had left the Shen Family, which meant she had no thoughts about Shen Chi. She even asked Shen Chi for the money back, so there couldn’t be anything there.

“Because I want to see you.”

Ah Chen smiled, “Why do you want to see me? There must be a reason, what is it?”

Being looked at like this, Xie Yan felt like his defenses crumbled, wanting to hide nothing, his eyes burning with passionate love, possessiveness, erupting like a volcano. He knelt down in front of her and earnestly said, “Because I like you.”

“I like you very much.”

“Sister Ah Chen, I’ve liked you for a long time.”

No matter what she thinks, he really likes her, likes her so much that he wants to keep her by his side forever, within his private domain. However, he cannot bear to hurt her in the slightest.

So, he can only torture himself. Missing her is both joyful and agonizing.

If she rejects him later, he will try to control himself. If he can’t control himself, he will lock himself away, so he won’t harm her in a moment of impulse.

“On the way back from the Shen family earlier, my brother asked me if I would look for someone else in the future,” Ah Chen blinked, “guess what I said?”

Xie Yan’s heart jumped, no matter what her answer was, he couldn’t calm down.

“I said I’ve liked someone for a long time.”

Xie Yan’s mind was a mess. Who is this person that caught her attention? He didn’t dare do anything to that person now, but once she grew tired of them, he would definitely deal with them. If Sister Chen got tired of them, they must have done something wrong, and deserve it.

He desperately suppressed his inner anger and jealousy, thinking only in this direction.

“My brother asked who that punk was.”

Xie Yan’s hands had already clenched into fists; a punk? His expression unknowingly turned vicious, like a wolf ready to pounce.

“I said it’s not a punk.” Ah Chen saw his furious look, as if he was about to devour someone, and placed her palm on his head to gently rub it.

The touch was still very nice, with a familiar clean scent. Before coming here, he had washed his hair, and Ah Chen didn’t know what to say for a moment. Really attentive to details, so obedient, she wanted to pat him a few more times.

The warm touch immediately soothed Xie Yan’s inner agitation, restoring him to his usual self, eyes only for her, quiet and obedient.

“If I hadn’t met you that time, you might have really become a punk,” Ah Chen released his hair, stroked his face, and finally slid down to his neck. In the commissioner’s memory, there was a long, hideous scar from the cheek to the neck.

No one knew how it came about or who was responsible, and it was impossible to know now.

Even without her, he would have risen up.

However, he would never show this gentle side he has now.

Xie Yan was stunned, followed by overwhelming joy. His restlessness and hostility instantly vanished; it was him, he was the one she had her eyes on.

In that moment, he felt as if he were enveloped in the light of spring.

He looked at the pure white hand and finally held it tightly. This was something he had imagined countless times, but each time he could only cautiously put a bracelet on her, not daring to offend her in the slightest.

“Didn’t say I don’t want you, why are your eyes red?” Ah Chen gently touched his brows and eyes, “why do you look like an abandoned puppy?”

“Come on, smile.”

Xie Yan smiled, looking completely sunny, holding her hand without letting go.

“You’ve had a long day, go freshen up.” As Ah Chen tried to pull her hand away, she couldn’t succeed. Looking down, she saw him staring at her intensely. She used her other hand to pat his face, “Go on, there’s plenty of time later. If you don’t sleep, I need to rest.” He was an ordinary person now, already busy, staying up late wasn’t good.

Only then did Xie Yan let her go.

Though he didn’t want to.

In the morning, the Lv family found there’s an extra person at home.

But seeing this person was Xie Yan, it was nothing.

Only Xie Yan was actually busy in the kitchen, making breakfast.

Though he prepared some for them too, Ah Chen’s was a bit different from theirs.

The fried egg on the noodles was heart-shaped.

Lv Ling realized and shouted while holding his bowl, “Oh, so you’re the punk!”

The Lv family was puzzled: What punk?

Xie Yan smiled, “Brother, I’m not a punk.”

“Yes, you are!” Lv Ling frowned and puffed out his chest, as if trying to intimidate with his strong physique.

Then he rolled up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo.

“Brother, I’m going to call Sister Ah Chen for breakfast.” Xie Yan elegantly turned around, as if he hadn’t seen Lv Ling’s dissatisfaction.

Lv Ling’s face twisted, “You punk, stop calling me brother!”

“Okay, President Lv.” Xie Yan followed his lead, whatever the brother said was fine, as long as Sister Ah Chen was his.

Lv Ling grew even more frustrated.

But when Ah Chen came down, he had already calmed down. Seeing his sister not rejecting that guy holding her hand, he snorted.

“Xiao Chen, what’s up with your boyfriend, he doesn’t call me brother?”

Xie Yan pulled out a chair for Ah Chen to sit, explaining, “Brother, maybe you just didn’t hear it earlier.”

Lv Ling rolled his eyes, “Oh, fine.” Gosh, really can’t help it!

The Lv family couldn’t help but laugh, glancing at Ah Chen and Xie Yan, exchanging looks; they welcomed this outcome. Honestly, who could have missed the clues?

“Xiao Chen!” At this time, a voice called from outside; it was Shen Chi.
