CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings
Chapter 23 Love's Choice
Lu Yuxiao raised his chin proudly, his eyes full of disdain, looking at Jiang Xiyan with contempt. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, and said provocatively: "Hey, who are you, meddling in other people's business?" As he spoke, he looked Jiang Xiyan up and down, his eyes full of contempt and provocation.
Jiang Xiyan's eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked back at Lu Yuxiao coldly. He exuded a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the air around him. His voice was low and powerful, full of anger and warning: "I am her friend. If you continue to disrespect her like this, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Shen Jingyan looked at her former boss Lu Yuxiao with disgust. He looked unruly and had a bit of provocation in his eyes. Lu Yuxiao looked at Jiang Xiyan with a disdainful smile on his face, and said in a mocking tone: "Hey, who do you think you are, pretending to be a hero here?"
Jiang Xiyan's face instantly turned gloomy when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness that made people shudder. His voice was full of anger and warning: "Don't think I dare not touch you. If you dare to disrespect her again, don't blame me for being rude to you." His tone was full of firmness and determination, leaving no doubt about his ability.
Lu Yuxiao was frightened by Jiang Xiyan's aura, and he couldn't help but feel a little timid. But he still pretended to be disdainful and said, "What do you think you can do to me? I am Lu Yuchi's elder brother, dare you touch me?" He tried to threaten Jiang Xiyan with Lu Yuchi, but his voice was trembling, revealing his inner fear.
Jiang Xiyan sneered and said, "Lu Yuchi is my friend, and his elder brother is my elder brother. I just don't want to cause trouble at his wedding today, but if you dare to do anything wrong again, I will not be polite." His tone was full of confidence and determination, which made people feel a little admiration for him.
Seeing Jiang Xiyan's firm attitude, Lu Yuxiao was a little scared. He knew that Jiang Xiyan was not someone to be trifled with, so he stopped talking and turned away. His back looked a little embarrassed, in stark contrast to his previous arrogance.
Shen Jingyan looked at Lu Yuxiao's back as he walked away, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable gratitude in her heart. She knew very well that Jiang Xiyan was so angry because he was protecting her. At this moment, she truly felt Jiang Xiyan's warmth and care, and this feeling filled her heart with a sense of security.
She walked towards Jiang Xiyan with light steps. With every step, her heart was filled with gratitude towards Jiang Xiyan. When she finally reached Jiang Xiyan's side, she said softly, "Thank you, Brother Xiyan."
Jiang Xiyan turned his head and looked at Shen Jingyan. His eyes were full of tenderness and care, like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel extremely warm. He smiled and said, "You're welcome. If grandpa knew that you were bullied and I didn't help you, he would definitely blame me for not taking good care of you. Don't take it to heart. I'm just practicing boxing for my grandpa."
Shen Jingyan raised her head, looked into Jiang Xiyan's eyes, and said softly: "Brother Xiyan, do you know? I have always liked you. I have liked you since the first time I saw you."
Jiang Xiyan sneered in his heart after hearing what Shen Jingyan said: "I remember when we first met, you acted as if you hated me!"
Shen Jingyan felt disappointed after hearing Jiang Xiyan's words. "At that time, I didn't hate you, but because of a misunderstanding, I hated the Jiang family, not you as a person."
Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan silently, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Jiang Xiyan said in a cold tone: "I only treat you as a sister. I will give up on your feelings for me. I will not fall in love with you."
Shen Jingyan felt a little pain in her heart after hearing Jiang Xiyan's words.
Shen Jingyan's love was rejected by Jiang Xiyan again. She felt as if her heart was being gnawed by thousands of ants. She tried to numb herself with alcohol so that she would not think about the painful things. So, she drank one glass of wine after another, as if only this could make her forget the pain in her heart temporarily.
However, despite drinking a lot of alcohol, her mind was still clear. The scenes of being rejected kept appearing in her mind, making her feel even more depressed. She began to doubt herself, wondering if she was not good enough and if she would never be able to get Jiang Xiyan's love.
Shen Jingyan didn't know how much she drank, she only remembered that the wine poured into her throat one cup after another, the spicy taste spread on the tip of her tongue, but it couldn't dispel the pain in her heart. When she woke up again, she found herself in Jiang Xiyan's car, which was on the way back to Jiang Yu Manor.
She leaned her head against the car window, looking at the night view outside. The light from the street lamp shone through the car window onto her face, reflecting her pale face. Her eyes were empty and confused, as if she had lost her soul. She didn't know how she got on the car, she only knew that they were on their way back to Jiangyu Manor.
Soon, the car arrived at Jiangyu Manor. Jiang Wuque was having dinner. He saw Jiang Xiyan and Shen Jingyan walking in, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He put down the tableware in his hand, looked at them and asked, "Why did you come back together? How much wine did Jingyan drink?"
Jiang Xiyan helped Shen Jingyan sit on the sofa, walked to the opposite side of Jiang Wuque, and replied: "We went to a friend's wedding, and Jingyan drank a lot of wine."
Jiang Wuque frowned, looked at Shen Jingyan worriedly, and said, "Xi Yan, Jingyan is the woman I like. I hope you can keep a distance from him."
"Then I'll call him to you," Jiang Xiyan prepared to go upstairs.
Shen Jingyan called him, and when Jiang Xiyan reacted, Shen Jingyan quickly hugged Jiang Xiyan and buried her face in his chest. Jiang Xiyan was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Jingyan to do this. He looked at his brother Jiang Wuque, feeling helpless.
Shen Jingyan put her face on Jiang Xiyan's chest and said slowly: "Xiyan, I know you are not in a good mood now, but I still want to tell you that my love has always been there and has never changed." There was a hint of firmness and persistence in her voice.
Jiang Xiyan looked at his brother Jiang Wuque, his heart full of contradictions. He knew his brother's feelings for Shen Jingyan, but he also knew that he couldn't confront his brother for a woman. He took a deep breath and said, "Jingyan, you are drunk, take a rest first."
Shen Jingyan raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiyan, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She loosened her arms around Jiang Xiyan and said, "Xiyan, why do you always treat me like this? Don't you really like me at all?"
Jiang Xiyan turned his head away, not daring to look into Shen Jingyan's eyes. He was silent for a while, and said, "Jingyan, I only treat you as a sister. I cannot respond to your feelings for me."
Tears welled up in Shen Jingyan's eyes. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, "I don't think it's funny. My love for you is my business and has nothing to do with you." Her eyes were full of determination, as if no matter how Jiang Xiyan treated her, she would not change her mind.
Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan, his heart full of helplessness and heartache. He knew that he couldn't give Shen Jingyan the love she wanted, but he didn't want to hurt her either. He took a deep breath and said, "Jingyan, you are a good girl, I hope you can find someone who truly loves you."
Shen Jingyan couldn't hold back her tears after hearing Jiang Xiyan's words. She turned her head away and stopped looking at Jiang Xiyan. Jiang Xiyan looked at her back, feeling full of guilt.
Jiang Wuque looked at Jiang Xiyan coldly and said, "Jiang Xiyan, I don't allow you to like her. If you like her, you know my character, I won't let you be with her."
Jiang Xiyan turned his head and looked at Jiang Wuque, with a complex emotion in his eyes. His brother Jiang Wuque was a gangster leader who occupied the mountains in the Golden Triangle. He was ruthless and opposed the local government. Jiang Wuque had a huge influence and many subordinates. He was omnipotent in the Golden Triangle. He was cold and ruthless, and would do anything to achieve his goals. He was a terrifying figure.
Jiang Xiyan knew his brother's character very well, and he knew that he couldn't go against his wishes. He was silent for a while, and said, "Brother, I know what you think, but Jingyan and I are just friends, and I won't like her." Jiang Xiyan's voice was low and powerful, and his eyes were full of determination.
Jiang Wuque looked at Jiang Xiyan, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He knew that Jiang Xiyan had special feelings for Shen Jingyan, but he didn't want to force him. He said, "Xiyan, you'd better remember your words, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." Jiang Wuque's voice was full of threats, and his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Jiang Xiyan nodded and said, "Brother, I understand. Don't worry, I won't let you down." Jiang Xiyan's voice was full of helplessness. He knew that he could not go against his brother's wishes, but he also didn't want to hurt Shen Jingyan.
Shen Jingyan heard the conversation between the two brothers, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She originally had no good feelings towards Jiang Wuque, and at this moment, her aversion to him reached its peak. She couldn't understand why Jiang Wuque wanted to interfere in Jiang Xiyan's emotional life so domineeringly.
At this moment, Shen Jingyan decided not to care about Jiang Wuque's feelings. She wanted to bravely pursue her own happiness, even if it meant a conflict with Jiang Wuque. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiyan firmly, ignoring Jiang Wuque's existence, and continued to confess to Jiang Xiyan: "Xiyan, I know you may not have that kind of feelings for me, but I still want to tell you that I like you and I am willing to do anything for you."
Jiang Xiyan was moved when he heard Shen Jingyan's words. He knew that Shen Jingyan's feelings for him were sincere, but he also knew that he couldn't accept this feeling easily. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Shen Jingyan, his eyes full of contradictions and helplessness: "Jingyan, I..."
