Xia An'an walked along the street and saw a small shop selling brown sugar glutinous rice cake. She remembered that her adoptive mother also liked to eat this, so she bought a portion to bring back.
Just as she was walking back, her phone rang.
Xia An'an took out her phone and saw that it was Yan Yang calling. She couldn't help but wonder if their family was done quarreling.
She answered the call.
"Hello? Yan Yang, you … "
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Yang interrupted her urgently, "An'an, where are you now?"
"Erm …"
Xia An'an didn't tell him her address, but asked softly, "Yan Yang, is your sister okay?"
"What could be wrong with her? Every time she encounters something that doesn't go her way, she cries, throws a tantrum, and threatens to hang herself. It's so annoying. Tell me where you are first. "
Xia An'an hesitated for a moment, but still told him her address.
Within a few minutes, Yan Yang rushed over.
He ran in front of Xia An'an and carefully observed Xia An'an's face. When he saw that there were no signs of crying, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He then said apologetically, "An'an, I'm really sorry about today. I left a bad impression on you."
"It's okay." Xia An'an smiled. She used her hand to tuck away the strands of hair that had fallen over her face. "I'm already used to it anyway."
But when he heard Xia An'an's explanation, Yan Yang's heart ached a little.
He held Xia An'an's hand and promised seriously, "An'an, I won't let you be bullied by others in the future, and I won't let you suffer anymore."
If a man's promise could be taken seriously, pigs could fly.
Xia An'an couldn't help but recall that Si Lijue had also made promises like this before. In the end, they were still at an irreconcilable stage. But she only had herself to blame. She was the one who had lied to him first.
Xia An'an snapped out of her daze. She smiled at Yan Yang and nodded. "Yeah."
Yan Yang was really glad.
Xia An'an is not angry with her. She is such a generous person. Even if she is wronged, she will never make a scene. On this point, she is much better than many girls. Yan Yang is also determined not to let Xia An'an be bullied again.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go, it's my treat tonight. "
Yan Yang said.
"Eh, there's no need, right? There must be leftovers from my mother's cooking, and I also bought supper back. "
As she spoke, she showed the brown sugar glutinous rice cake in her hand to Yan Yang.
Yan Yang was helpless. He said, "You've suffered so much today. It wouldn't be right if I didn't treat you to a meal. Besides, I haven't eaten yet. Just treat it as accompanying me."
Without any explanation, he pulled Xia An 'an by the hand and walked towards the restaurant.
After dinner.
Yan Yang even personally sent Xia An'an home.
When they were downstairs, Xia An'an asked, "Aren't you going up for a seat?"
"There's no need. Auntie is probably going to rest, so I won't disturb her. Don't take what happened today to heart. My sister is like that. Don't take it to heart."
Xia An'an thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "Yan Yang, I've thought about it. I don't want that job."
"Why? You're doing so well! "
Yan Yang was shocked.
Xia An'an pursed her lips. "This is clearly preferential treatment. With such a high salary, people will gossip …"
No wonder the other employees in the company looked at her so strangely. No wonder no one was willing to communicate with her.
Actually, Xia An'an's situation in the company wasn't good. She was equivalent to a parachutist, and her salary was so high. Naturally, there were people who felt it was unfair and found fault with Xia An'an. However, she endured it and didn't tell Yan Yang. She felt that he didn't need to worry about such a small matter.
Now that she thought about it, she must have been particularly eye-catching in the eyes of those people.
"An'an, you've done very well! Even my brother-in-law praised you! You earned this salary based on your own ability. Don't care about the gossip. "
Xia An'an didn't say anything.
Yan Yang finally used his trump card.
"Besides, if you give up that job, what will happen to Auntie? Can you bear to let Auntie continue working part-time? Your salary now is enough to ensure that the two of you don't have to worry about food and clothing. You also want Auntie to have a better life, right? "
The adoptive mother was indeed Xia An'an's Achilles' heel. She began to loosen up. Yan Yang persisted and said, "My brother-in-law isn't the kind of person who would give you preferential treatment in private. That was the reason why he tested you that day. If you didn't pass, he wouldn't have kept you and wouldn't have given you such a high salary. An 'an, you got this job based on your own ability. Don't be like that."
Give up! "
Xia An'an was a little moved.
She hesitated and said, "Then, I'll try again …"
Seeing that Xia An'an had relented, Yan Yang was elated. He said, "Just continue. I'll deal with those people who gossip!"
"No need!"
Xia An'an refused. She said, "If you deal with them, won't it prove that I gave you preferential treatment? Since I stayed based on my own ability, I'll let my ability do the talking. "
"An'an …"
"Yan Yang, you can't protect me for the rest of my life, right? If I keep getting into trouble and you have to deal with everything, you'll get tired of me very soon. "
"I won't."
"I know you won't, but I don't want to be protected forever."
Xia An'an's bright eyes shone like obsidian under the moonlight. Yan Yang suddenly felt that Xia An'an was very beautiful like this. His heartstrings seemed to have been plucked by something. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly bent down, wanting to kiss Xia An'an.
Just as his lips were about to touch Xia An'an's lips, Xia An'an's hand suddenly blocked the two of them. Yan Yang directly kissed the back of Xia An'an's hand.
Both of them were stunned.
"Sorry, I subconsciously …"
Yan Yang was instantly embarrassed. He immediately took two steps away from Xia An'an. Xia An'an was also a little uneasy. She didn't react at all just now, but her actions were faster than her brain, and her hand moved first.
She saw that Yan Yang seemed to be hurt by her actions, and felt a little guilty. She said, "Yan Yang, I'm sorry."
"No, no, no. I was too rude."
Yan Yang laughed, turned around, and said, "Then that's it for now. I'm going back. Call me if you need anything."
With that said, he hurriedly ran away. His movements were so fast that it left people speechless.
Xia An'an saw Yan Yang's back view stumbling as he ran away, and her eyes darkened. She really couldn't forget that man.
Her nose was a little sour. She took a deep breath and shook her head hard, hoping to forget that man.
After a long time, Xia An'an calmed down and went upstairs.
However, she didn't know that her every move was being closely watched.
When the assistant, Lin Qing, heard the news, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't kiss her. Otherwise, who knew what would happen if the CEO found out.
However, that Yan Yang indeed had ulterior motives towards Xia An'an.
Lin Qing told Si Lijue about this matter, but secretly hid the fact that they almost kissed.
After hearing this, Si Lijue suddenly asked.
"Are they dating?"
"Uh … I'm not sure, but they've already met each other's parents."
"Ka ka."
