200: Chapter 200 Old Feelings Rekindled 200: Chapter 200 Old Feelings Rekindled Chi Tian has too many secrets about the X Group, Si Jinchuan would never let him go.
Everyone including Su He understands this.
And this is exactly the capital and confidence that Chi Tian relies on.
It’s not hard to see that from the moment he was detained here by Jiang Yan until he saw her and Xing Siyang, he never showed any fear.
Instead, he was quite open and unguarded.
Ye Jiuqing said sarcastically, “Isn’t President Jiang very powerful?
Is he afraid of President Si stealing people?”
Whenever there’s a chance, he doesn’t hesitate to mock Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan won’t bother arguing with childish people, he simply doesn’t care.
Ye Jiuqing, being ignored again: “…”
Jiang Yan took Su He’s hand and said gently, “You all don’t need to worry about this matter.
Even if Si Jinchuan wants to find someone, he won’t be able to reach me.”
“But indeed, it is difficult to pry open Chi Tian’s mouth, otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived until today.”
Jiang Yan then assured her, “But rest assured, I will avenge you.
You just need to focus on doing what you want to do, and leave the dangerous matters to me.”
Su He blinked slightly and recalled what he had said earlier, “I can be both your support and your shield.”
Ye Jiuqing couldn’t bear to listen any longer and turned to leave.
He was purely asking for trouble.
But after only a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Su He, saying, “I’ve decided, let’s ride the Ferris wheel together tomorrow morning.
I’ll pick you up then.”
After speaking, he didn’t give Su He a chance to respond or refuse, and walked away briskly.
Ah Gui could only give a silly smile towards Su He, respectfully nodded, and then followed.
The next morning.
At 8:30, Su He and others went down to the hotel’s buffet for breakfast.
Not long after sitting down, Ye Jiuqing appeared.
Then, he naturally sat opposite her.
Jiang Yan went to get breakfast while Su He waited.
Su He asked him, “Aren’t you going to get some breakfast?”
Ye Jiuqing leaned back on his chair lazily and said, “So it’s okay for you to be waited on, but not for me?”
Su He: “…”
A man who seemed grumpy early in the morning, Su He was speechless.
Since that’s the case, she also couldn’t be bothered to interact with him.
She shifted her gaze away from him to the food area, and immediately spotted a familiar silhouette.
Ye Jiuqing also felt his pettiness, unable to control his mouth.
“What, cuddling up all night last night wasn’t enough for you?”
His blue eyes fixedly stared at the ambiguous marks on her neck.
Hearing this, Su He turned her head back to glance at him, “Early in the morning, are you on edge?
I haven’t provoked you, if you want to vent, find someone else.”
Ye Jiuqing, accustomed to her indifferent attitude, still felt uncomfortable and frustrated inside.
“Yes, you didn’t provoke me, but you’ve indirectly made me unhappy.”
Su He furrowed her brows slightly, “Ella is right, you really should have your brain checked.”
Ye Jiuqing retorted, “My brain is perfectly normal!
You all are overthinking!”
“You’re the one who should go,” he added.
Su He: “?”
“How could you fall for Jiang Yan, this big bad wolf?” Ye Jiuqing said.
Just then, Jiang Yan and Xing Siyang came back with their breakfast, catching such a comment.
“Young Master Ye, what’s this habit?
Stirring trouble between a couple so early in the morning?”
Jiang Yan placed the breakfast down, then sat next to Su He.
Xing Siyang kicked Ye Jiuqing.
Ye Jiuqing looked up at him, “You dare kick me?”
Ignoring his comment, Xing Siyang gestured with his chin, “Move in a bit.
Why are you occupying so much space all by yourself?”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
“Damn!”
Everyone just knows how to bully him!
After sitting down, Xing Siyang commented, “Young Master Ye, your mouth is really… owed.
You being single is really telling.”
The hidden meaning was: You deserve to be single!
Ye Jiuqing glanced at him coldly, “As if you’ve got a girlfriend yourself.”
Xing Siyang picked up the milk, took a sip, and calmly said, “Well, I don’t have one now, but at least I’ve had one.
Unlike someone, who’s been forever single.”
Almost everyone around knew about Ye Jiuqing’s love history.
His love history was like a blank sheet, only ever marked by the shadow of Su He, but that was merely unrequited love.
Ye Jiuqing cursed, “Xing, can’t you talk nicely?”
Xing Siyang, “Did I say something wrong?”
The couple across them quietly ate their breakfast.
Actually, Su He was used to it by now; Ye Jiuqing’s temperament is like this, competing with everyone.
An hour later.
Amusement park.
Xing Siyang originally didn’t want to come, but he couldn’t resist Su He’s pleading eyes.
Now, however, he somewhat regretted coming along.
“Are all four of you together?” the staff at the amusement park asked as they looked at the group.
Three men and one woman, all good-looking, were too eye-catching.
From the moment the four appeared here, they had attracted much attention.
Usually, those coming to ride the Ferris wheel were couples, or adults with children.
This kind of combination was a first sight.
Ye Jiuqing said, “Not together, separately.”
The staff nodded, “Alright.”
…
How to separate was a problem…
A minute later, they ended up going together after all.
Though the space was quite ample, once squeezed with three grown men, it suddenly felt cramped.
Su He naturally sat with Jiang Yan, and the other two ended up sitting together.
The atmosphere…
was indeed a bit awkward…
Su He didn’t feel much.
However, she quickly discovered a problem.
Someone seemed to have a fear of heights…
“You have a fear of heights?” Su He turned to ask Jiang Yan.
Because his grip on her hand was slightly trembling.
Jiang Yan murmured a response.
…
Now that they had risen halfway, even if they wanted to get off, it wouldn’t be so quick.
Su He was quite helpless, wondering why he followed if he had acrophobia.
If it’s severe, it could be life-threatening!
Ye Jiuqing, overhearing, chuckled and said, “Tsk tsk tsk, with that courage, you dare to come along?”
“Not fearing that others might laugh their heads off!”
Su He gave him a cold look, signaling him to shut up.
Ye Jiuqing avoided her gaze and looked outside instead.
Then, he saw from the corner of his eye Jiang Yan leaning against Su He’s shoulder, and he abruptly turned his head.
“I think he is just pretending, trying to take advantage of you!”
Xing Siyang simply couldn’t bear to watch, he sighed and said, “They are a married couple, what advantage is there to take?
If you can’t stand it, you either close your eyes or look at the scenery outside, the sunshine today is quite nice.”
Su He ignored Ye Jiuqing’s outcry, fortunately, she brought a bottle of water when she came up.
“Have a sip of water first.”
Jiang Yan obediently took a sip, and after finishing leaned on Su He’s shoulder again.
Su He said helplessly, “Close your eyes and rest for a while, we will be down soon.”
Fortunately, his fear of heights wasn’t too severe, it was mostly just nerves.
Ye Jiuqing looked at Jiang Yan appearing clingy and dependent, and really wanted to throw him down from here!
He had never seen anyone so shameless!
Ye Jiuqing sat there, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, his well-planned agenda had been utterly disrupted!
“…”
Half an hour later, they finally came down.
Ah Gui and Jiang Feng and others were already waiting at the exit.
Ye Jiuqing walked out first, and Ah Gui immediately greeted him, “Young Master Jiuqing, how did it go?
Did you enjoy the ride?”
He was better off not asking, upon asking, Ye Jiuqing’s expression turned even gloomier.
The man coldly glanced at him, his voice frosty, “Do I look like I’m happy?”
Ah Gui was scared and took a step back by that cold glare.
Young Master Jiuqing’s gaze is so frightening…
Riding the Ferris wheel with Miss Su should have been delightful, right?
Why did it seem to make him more and more unhappy?
And, he even looked like he was about to eat someone alive.
Xing Siyang walked over, placed his hand on Ah Gui’s shoulder, and gently patted it, saying, “Your master has been quite irritable lately, make him some herbal tea when you get back to clear his fire.”
Ah Gui: “…”
After coming down halfway from the Ferris wheel, Jiang Yan’s discomfort had eased a lot, and he had returned to normal by the time he came down.
This was actually the first time Su He knew about the man’s fear of heights.
“You have acrophobia, why didn’t you say so?” said Su He.
Jiang Yan looked at her and said, “I didn’t want you to ride the Ferris wheel alone with him.”
“…”
Su He sighed, “If you had told me, I could have refused or asked him to change the request.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
So, he suffered for nothing?
Su He continued, “Besides, it’s not like I was only with him alone, Siyang was also there, wasn’t he?”
Jiang Yan slightly frowned, “It’s not the same.”
“How is it not the same?” Su He didn’t understand.
The man sincerely asked, “Can I be the same as Xing Siyang?”
Su He pouted but ultimately said nothing.
–
Just as they returned to the hotel, they ran into Si Jinchuan in the lobby.
It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or he was intentionally waiting there.
He proactively greeted them: “Dr.
Su, President Jiang, Captain Xing, what brings all of you to Country X?
Are you here on a business trip?”
He conspicuously left out Ye Jiuqing.
Ye Jiuqing was currently annoyed and had no mood to deal with this mess.
Su He smiled faintly, “President Si, what a coincidence, are you here on a business trip too?”
Si Jinchuan’s demeanor was gentle, always appearing amiable before her, “Yes, Si Group also has a branch here in Country X, just nearby.
I arrived a couple of days ago and stayed in this hotel.
But recently, there’s a lot to deal with at the company, so I’ve been living there and rarely returned to the hotel.
I just finished and was about to come back to change clothes for a cocktail party when I ran into you all.”
Si Jinchuan always spoke this way, making people feel comfortable listening to him, and his words left no loopholes.
Since he was so generous in his words, it also shows that he despises lying to them.
His appearance at this time also happens to confirm what Ye Jiuqing had told her earlier, that Si Jinchuan was going to Xuanqing Headquarters.
Now, she has good reason to suspect that this Xuanqing Headquarters is the branch office he just mentioned.
Previously, Ye Jiuqing said he had a way to take her into Xuanqing Headquarters, which is probably the party that Si Jinchuan is going to attend.
“President Si is also attending the party?” Su He said with a smile.
Si Jinchuan also smiled gently: “Why, is Dr.
Su also attending?”
Su He replied, “Yes, but maybe not the same one as President Si, I’m accompanying my husband.”
Only then did Si Jinchuan look towards Jiang Yan standing next to her, holding her hand.
“So President Jiang also has business in Country X?” he asked.
Jiang Yan’s expression was indifferent: “With Si Family having branches overseas, Jiang Family, as the leading enterprise of Country Z, naturally also has a global distribution.”
Jiang Yan’s sarcastic tone didn’t bother Si Jinchuan at all; he still maintained the demeanor of a refined gentleman.
“Indeed, I just wasn’t thoughtful earlier, foolishly asking such a question, my apologies,” Si Jinchuan said.
At that moment, he suddenly glanced at Ye Jiuqing and asked curiously, “Do you know each other?”
Su He knew who he was asking about, and since he had seen them, she had nothing to hide, but she spoke casually: “Sort of know him, not very close friends, just like your sister, saved his life once.”
Ye Jiuqing: “?”
Not very close?
This cheeky girl, she has the nerve to say that?
He pressed his tongue against his back teeth, cursing softly, “Truly freaking depressing!”
Having said that, he bypassed everyone and walked towards the elevator.
The others didn’t know whom he was cursing, but they didn’t take it to heart.
It wasn’t long after Ye Jiuqing left that Si Jinchuan chatted for a few more moments and then also left.
After Su He returned to her room at the hotel, she received a call from Jing Xuan.
From the day before she came to Country X, Jing Xuan had moved back to live at the Jing Family Mansion.
“Baobao, I miss you, when are you coming back?” Jing Xuan sighed over the phone.
Hearing that, Su He smiled and asked, “Is Lu Zhiyang pestering you again?”
Jing Xuan replied, “If he were pestering me, I could at least curse at someone and vent, but this jerk has been avoiding me lately.”
Su He was puzzled, “Why is that?”
“I asked him for a divorce, and he adamantly refuses.
I said if he won’t divorce, I’ll abort the baby, but this jerk actually used my mom.
Now my mom knows I’m pregnant, and she got very upset when she heard I wanted to abort the baby, so now I don’t even dare to bring it up.”
Jing Xuan grew more and more furious: “My mom is either not sleeping or sticking close by me, I barely managed to coax her to sleep just now.”
Su He: “…”
She had to admit, Lu Zhiyang’s strategy of using Mrs.
Jing to control Jing Xuan was clever.
But she had one question: “Doesn’t your aunt know what happened between you and Lu Zhiyang before?”
If Mrs.
Jing knew that it was Lu Zhiyang who had deserted Jing Xuan at first, she should be angry to learn that Jing Xuan was pregnant with Lu Zhiyang’s child, right?
Jing Xuan sighed: “My mom doesn’t know all the ins and outs, she always thought we broke up amicably, and now that old feelings rekindled.”
“My mom can’t wait for me to marry Mr.
Lu and then give her a grandchild.”
Su He responded, “Aren’t you two already registered?
You’re legally husband and wife.”
Jing Xuan answered, “My mom doesn’t know that yet; she only knows I’m pregnant.”
Her philosophy was to keep it a secret as long as possible.
Su He paused for a moment, then asked, “Has your aunt been more awake these last few days?”
Hearing her question, Jing Xuan thought for a while, then hummed, “Yeah, seems like it.”
Because Mrs.
Jing had been constantly around her, she had somewhat overlooked this.
Su He’s question reminded her.
“Baobao, is this a good sign or a bad sign?” she asked.
Su He thought for a moment and said, “Xiaxia, perhaps, you settling down, getting pregnant, and having children could divert your aunt’s attention, completely pulling her out of the deep abyss of grief from losing her husband and son.”
“…”
