At that moment, Xia An 'an felt as if her heart had been pierced. She looked at Si Lijue in astonishment, surprised that he would come over at this time.
Under Si Lijue's cold gaze, Xia An 'an felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Si Lijue's eyes. The air was filled with an oppressive aura. Just standing there made it hard for one to breathe. He Sijie was fearless. Others might be afraid of Si Lijue, but he wasn't. He Sijie held Xia An's shoulder with one hand and greeted Si Lijue with the other.
"Mr. Si, what a coincidence."
Xia An 'an didn't struggle this time. Or rather, she had forgotten to struggle.
Si Lijue's gaze swept back and forth between him and Xia An 'an before landing on He Sijie's hand that was holding Xia An' an. If sight could materialize, He Sijie's hand would have been seen through by Si Lijue.
He said word by word, "Let go of her!"
"Let go of who?"
He Sijie pretended to be confused and asked slowly, completely ignoring Si Lijue's threat.
Xia An 'an then realized that He Sijie was still holding her. She wanted to struggle, but He Sijie held her tightly, not letting her go at all. She became even more anxious because Si Lijue's aura was getting colder. She knew that Si Lijue was very angry now.
She remembered that Si Lijue had told her to stay away from He Sijie. But not only did she not listen, she almost kissed him and was caught red-handed.
He must be so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
It had to be said that Xia An 'an understood Si Lijue very well because Si Lijue really wanted to chop He Sijie into pieces right now.
He said coldly, "I told you to let go of her!"
He Sijie sneered. He raised his chin slightly and said arrogantly, "And if I don't?"
The murderous intent of the two men ignited intense sparks in the air. Seeing that they were about to fight, Xia An 'an hurriedly pulled He Sijie back. She begged, "Mr. He, you should go back first today!"
"… An An?"
He Sijie didn't want to agree at first, but when he turned around and saw Xia An 'an so anxious that he was about to cry, his heart felt like it had been pierced by something, and it hurt terribly.
His heart softened in an instant.
He Sijie was also at his wit's end when it came to Xia An 'an. Although he could act shamelessly and take advantage of Xia An' an, whenever she shed tears, He Sijie's heart would ache terribly. He had only met her twice, so how could it affect him so much?
He Sijie did not understand. He thought that this was probably the so-called love at first sight.
It was predestined fate.
His gaze softened, and his tone towards Xia An 'an also became gentler. He said, "If I leave, what will happen to you?"
Xia An 'an shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you for visiting me today. I'm very happy."
He Sijie's heart completely softened. He sighed and said, "Alright then, I'll leave first. If there's anything, just give me a call. I'll rush over as soon as possible."
With that, He Sijie took out a business card and handed it to Xia An 'an.
Xia An 'an took it and said sincerely, "Alright, thank you, Mr. He."
He Sijie rubbed Xia An 'an's head and smiled. "You don't have to thank me. I did all of this willingly."
He Sijie got up. When he brushed past Si Lijue, he smiled wickedly and said, "Mr. Si, we'll have a lot of time to interact in the future. I look forward to your performance."
Just as he was about to continue walking, Si Lijue suddenly grabbed He Sijie's tie and grabbed him.
The smile on He Sijie's face disappeared.
"Mr. Si, what is the meaning of this?"
Si Lijue looked coldly at He Sijie and said word by word, "I don't care if you're from a prestigious family or a relative of the royal family. Don't touch my woman. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it!"
He Sijie raised his brows. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Who's your woman? Speak clearly!"
"You don't understand human language? Then I'll say it again. Xia An 'an is my woman. Don't touch her! "
Seeing that the anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty was ignited again, Xia An 'an was anxious like an ant on a hot pan. She looked anxiously at He Sijie, afraid that he would do something shocking.
He Sijie saw the anxiety on Xia An 'an's face from the corner of his eye. His eyes flashed and his anger dissipated.
He slapped Si Lijue's hand away from his tie and said, "Haha, no one has the right to tell me what to do. You have to keep an eye on her. Who knows when I'll take her away and hide her somewhere you won't be able to find."
"Don't even think about it!"
"Then we'll wait and see ~"
He Sijie sneered and turned to leave.
After he left, Si Lijue's target turned to Xia An 'an.
Xia An 'an could clearly feel a burning gaze on her. She couldn't help but tremble. She didn't know what Si Lijue was going to do.
The sound of footsteps rang out, and Xia Anan's heart also rose.
Her heart trembled with every step the man took towards her. Finally, Si Lijue stopped in front of her. The moment he reached out his hand, Xia An 'an closed her eyes in fear and her entire body tensed up.
Si Lijue saw her reaction and paused.
"Are you that afraid of me?"
His voice was hoarse and sounded bitter.
Xia An 'an was stunned. Was he sad?
Si Lijue looked at her. When she was with He Sijie just now, she didn't react like this. Although she looked troubled, she was relaxed. But when she was with him, she always looked uneasy and uneasy.
Si Lijue knew that Xia An 'an hated him and was rejecting him.
But he didn't want to let go.
He was a very possessive man. It wasn't easy for him to find someone he didn't want to let go of. He definitely wouldn't share her with anyone else!
At that moment, Si Lijue's anger intensified. He grabbed Xia An 'an's chin and forced her to look up at him.
"Xia Anan, did you take what I told you as wind past your ears?"
Xia An 'an was in pain from his grip. Si Lijue was burning with anger and didn't hold back. She felt as though her bones were about to be crushed. She frowned in pain and said, "I didn't. I was also surprised that he suddenly came over."
"Surprised? I saw that you were getting along well with him. Didn't you want to kiss him just now? I was wondering why you kept rejecting me. So you had a backup plan. If He Sijie likes you, you might become the empress in the future. "
Si Lijue's words stabbed Xia An 'an. She didn't expect that in his eyes, she was just a vain woman.
Everything she did was for his sake.
Whether it was promising He Nianchu to help her pursue Si Lijue, or trying to find out about Si Lijue's situation from He Sijie, it was all because he wanted to do his best to help him. But he didn't know, he didn't know anything …
The pain of giving everything but not being known made her feel an indescribable despair.
But …
If he misunderstood, then so be it.
