After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 363: Tender Trap (Part 5)

An Jiayi had never had such a clear understanding of the term "pillow talk" before.

She blinked slowly, digesting Xie Zhang’s words.

And Xie Zhang, gripping An Jiayi’s waist, pulled her into his embrace, his voice arrogant and husky, "I’ll deal with you in a few days!"

An Jiayi’s face turned red, and she fell silent.

But she was certain that this time, when Xie Zhang spoke to her like this, she didn’t feel scared.

Even more so, deep inside her heart, there was a vague sense of anticipation.

An Jiayi leaned against Xie Zhang’s chest and hugged him tightly, earnestly saying word by word: "Then you must come in a few days."

Xie Zhang felt that this girl was getting a bit too bold.

Yet he couldn’t get angry; instead, the corners of his lips uncontrollably curled into a slight smile.

Damn it, she was indeed a bit cute.

When An Jiayi arrived at the company the next day, she received a variety of looks from everyone.

It was only natural for the atmosphere to be awkward after the incident with Jiang Yan yesterday.

Clearly, in the company, there were factions, and currently, compared to An Jiayi—who was on shaky ground and just a new favorite for the moment—Jiang Yan, the queen of the company, obviously held more status.

An Jiayi walked into her own resting room, not speaking to anyone along the way.

Until Wang Shao pushed the door and entered.

He said, "Jiayi, the acting coach is waiting for you, you can go now."

Wang Shao handed a set of practice clothes to An Jiayi, "Go change in the restroom, later there will be fight scene instruction."

An Jiayi took them hastily, saying, "President Wang, don’t worry, I’ll go right away."

Wang Shao was quite satisfied with An Jiayi’s obedient and non-contentious attitude.

Among so many women around Xie Zhang, An Jiayi was the most sensible.

Wang Shao stood in his original place, watching An Jiayi walk away, and his mind was still pondering over the warning given by Xie Zhang’s assistant.

—’Miss An is good-tempered, but Mr. Xie isn’t, you can’t let others give her trouble in the company.’

Wang Shao fully understood the profound meaning behind these words.

He needed to find time to have a good talk with Jiang Yan right away.

At this moment, An Jiayi had just changed her clothes in the restroom, and as she was about to leave, she realized the door was locked from the outside.

"Open the door!" An Jiayi pounded on it hard, "Please stop playing tricks, open the door!"

The next moment, An Jiayi heard a cold laugh.

Jiang Yan’s voice was full of sarcasm, "What can you do if I don’t open it?"

"Teacher Jiang Yan, it wasn’t my intention to take your role. Mr. Xie assigned this role to me, and I had no way to refuse."

What Xie Zhang gave, whether it was thunderstorms or gentle rain, was not within An Jiayi’s status to say ’no’.

Outside the door, Jiang Yan stood in the narrow corridor, sneering, "So you mean I should just consider myself unlucky?"

"I didn’t mean that..." An Jiayi paused before saying, "What do you want to let me out?"

"I just won’t let you go today, what can you do about it? I hit you in public yesterday, and Xie Zhang didn’t let anyone come to knock on me, An Jiayi, do you think you’re any different from a dog in Xie Zhang’s eyes!" Jiang Yan said this, her expression turning fierce, and she sneered even more harshly, "You deserve to die! Why should you be with Xie Zhang!"

An Jiayi looked down, letting go of the hand pressing on the door panel. She looked at the phone in her hand, which showed an ongoing call, and pressed to hang up.

Speaking again, An Jiayi’s voice changed from panic to very cold, "Jiang Yan, have you forgotten that you once snatched a role from me too? Your claim to fame was actually stolen from me."

"That was given to me by Xie Zhang!" Jiang Yan sneered, then suddenly said, "Ah! So you finally reveal your true self! An Jiayi, you’re just seeking revenge!"

"The role from back then, I’ve already passed the audition, but because you relied on your relationship with Xie Zhang, you just took it away, what could I say? Now this role, you didn’t even compete for it through audition; it was given to you by Wang Shao considering Xie Zhang’s face, and now you’ve lost it, what is there for you to be dissatisfied with."

An Jiayi calmly said, "Now, I am the one beside Xie Zhang in his bed."

Jiang Yan’s mind exploded with a bang; recalling An Jiayi’s various behaviors in front of the office yesterday, she suddenly realized something.

She furiously threw open the door, grabbing An Jiayi’s neck without any explanation, and pressed her against the wall, "It was you! You schemed against me! An Jiayi, how dare you!"

An Jiayi kept coughing, her face flushed with a mixture of smiles as she watched Jiang Yan, unable to stop coughing, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You schemed against me! Yesterday, you did it on purpose to let Wang Shao see me hitting you, didn’t you!"

An Jiayi struggled to pull Jiang Yan’s hand from her neck, her face red, still smiling and saying, "I don’t know! I don’t understand!"

When Xie Zhang arrived, this was the scene he witnessed.

His face ashen, he said in a cold voice, "Jiang Yan! Let go!"

Jiang Yan’s body jerked as if electrocuted, she looked incredulously toward the source of the voice, and saw Xie Zhang’s displeased expression.

Jiang Yan let go in panic, she murmured, "Xie Zhang... it’s not like that..."

An Jiayi breathed heavily, her back against the wall, slowly sliding down.

Xie Zhang’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly ran towards her.

He moved quickly, just in time to catch An Jiayi who almost sat on the ground.

Jiang Yan’s eyes were bloodshot as she exchanged glances with Wang Shao who had arrived, both filled with anger, "President Wang! An Jiayi set me up!"

"Enough! Nobody wants to hear your excuses! Why haven’t you apologized to Jiayi yet!" Wang Shao desperately motioned with his eyes towards Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan watched as Xie Zhang, with his back to her, picked up An Jiayi.

Her eyes burned with sudden stubborn anger, insisting, "I won’t! Why should I apologize!"

Xie Zhang completely ignored Jiang Yan’s discontent, looking at An Jiayi, he said softly, "How is it, feeling better?"

An Jiayi nodded, she said, "I’m okay."

Xie Zhang pursed his lips, picked up An Jiayi, and strode away.

Wang Shao wanted to follow, but after a few steps, he stopped, talking to himself, "It’s over..."

An Jiayi kept her head down all the way until Xie Zhang put her in the back seat, then she realized that Xie Zhang seemed to be angry.

The man closed the car door, pressing her beneath him.

He looked at her expressionlessly, suddenly smiling lightly, and whispered, "Our Jiayi learns quite fast."

An Jiayi’s eyelashes trembled non-stop, "I... I didn’t."

"When you called me, you wanted me to back you up, right? I came, and you got what you wanted." Xie Zhang pinched An Jiayi’s chin, applying a bit of force, "Tell me, how did you dare to calculate me into your scheme as well? Hm?"

An Jiayi was at a loss for words, she stared at Xie Zhang, choking up, "You noticed?"
