Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 800: [Yan Jian Extra] 38. With such an unbearable me, how dare I desire your love (10,000 words)_5
Xue Jiangqiu nodded, patiently waiting for James to start his car and drive away first before following.
Although both cars were high-end sports cars, they weren’t driving fast. Xue Jiangqiu was pondering James’s situation and couldn’t help but ask, "Can you tell me what’s really going on between Yan Jian and James?"
To Xue Jiangqiu, James’s behavior tonight was somewhat peculiar.
From his understanding of James over the years, if James encountered someone he didn’t like, he’d usually have a bad temper but wouldn’t bother to waste words and would just turn around and leave. Yet tonight, evidently, James hadn’t insisted on leaving first from start to finish.
It was as if he was clearly arguing and annoyed with someone but wasn’t willing to walk away.
And the way James was driving now was equally unusual. James was a speed enthusiast, owning such a supercar, and on a night like this, he’d usually take the chance to enjoy the thrill of speed. How could he be driving a Koenigsegg at a crawl?
For tonight’s events, Yan Yu indeed felt she owed Xue Jiangqiu an explanation. But regarding the relationship between James and Yan Jian, she didn’t know where to start.
She couldn’t just directly say that she had once witnessed James forcing a kiss on her little sister at the Tang Family. Her little sister, though tearful and clearly scared and unwilling, didn’t dare to push him away...
Yan Yu could only downplay it, saying, "Well, actually their relationship is somewhat similar to the one between you and James. Yan Jian took over a fashion studio as a graduation project. And the original investor of that project? It’s James. So their conflict... maybe it all started from work. Designers are bound to have some creative clashes, you know."
Xue Jiangqiu nodded in response, "I see."
However, having met James in France, he naturally also knew Catherine. He couldn’t help but ponder and said slowly, "The fashion studio... could it be the one Catherine used to run?"
Yan Yu sighed, worried that Xue Jiangqiu might have connected too many dots from this, and thus remained silent.
Xue Jiangqiu tacitly refrained from asking any more, driving steadily as he followed behind James’s Koenigsegg.
.
In the Koenigsegg, Yan Jian had already calmed down.
She was curled up in the passenger seat, restrained by the seatbelt, biting her lip subconsciously, her eyes darting around.
James was driving slowly, with few cars on the road, so he had the leisure to observe Yan Jian’s expression.
He quietly sighed, "What’s on your mind again, just say it."
Her strange mood today troubled him; he couldn’t be at ease without understanding it.
What else could it be? He had already done the worst to her before.
But at this moment, Yan Jian wasn’t thinking about herself; she was still worried about Yan Yu’s happiness.
Her own... had already been ruined by this bastard beside her; it was too late for regrets. But Yan Yu’s still had hope.
She tried hard to contain her temper, speaking as calmly as possible, "Let’s discuss something. Or should I say, how about we make another deal?"
He arched an eyebrow, "Another deal?"
Damn it, he couldn’t stop his mind from wandering—how much he wanted to have her one more time.
Seeing his reaction, she immediately understood what he was thinking, and couldn’t help but lowly growl, "Stop daydreaming, it’s not what you’re thinking!"
His heart fluttered. Hearing her words, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, yet—an inexplicable melancholy rose within him.
So she didn’t even want it at all.
But her reaction was teasing him, making him feel a familiar itch inside, making him want to tease her.
He arrogantly snorted and turned his eyes back on the road, "Not what I was thinking? Then I’m curious, what exactly do you think I was thinking about?"
Here we go again...
Yan Jian clamped her mouth shut, unwilling to fall into his trap, "Anyway, before I speak, whatever you’re thinking is wrong!"
Her quiet resistance extinguished the spark inside him.
He resisted a sigh, squinting at her, "So, what kind of deal do you want to make? Let me hear it."
She was slightly nervous, tightened her grip on the seatbelt, avoiding his gaze.
"...James, can you let Xue Jiangqiu go?"
.
Time seemed to pause for a second.
James almost slammed on the brakes to stop the car. If not for Xue Jiangqiu’s car following behind, with two pairs of eyes closely watching from there. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
He took a deep breath, staring at her, his mind now completely muddled.
