"My girlfriend doesn't need you to take care of her."
Girlfriend? Tang Zhen stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with a blank expression, confirming whether he heard correctly, but judging from the tone and attitude of the other party's words, her meaning was obviously consistent with what he understood.
Tang Zhen was shocked.
At this time, Xia An was even more shocked than Tang Zhen. She raised her head and looked at Ye Jin, because she never expected that such words would come out of her mouth.
Only Ye Jin seemed to state an objective fact calmly, without any unnaturalness.
"Girlfriend?" Tang Zhen stared at Xia An, "Xiao An, this..."
Xia An and Ye Jin looked at each other.
One second, two seconds...
There was no need to explain anything. With just one look, the two of them reached a temporary consensus.
"You saw it too." Xia An followed the trend and said to Tang Zhen in a dignified manner, "So, it's better for us to keep a distance from now on..."
Tang Zhen still couldn't believe it. With his relationship with Xia An, how could he not know about it if Xia An was dating someone? Then he thought about it, and he didn't know that Xia An worked part-time in a nightclub. He thought no one would know about it.
I know Xia An better than him, but in the end...
"I can't help it, my girlfriend gets jealous very easily." In front of Tang Zhen, Xia An held Ye Jin's hand for the second time. She raised her head and smiled at Ye Jin, and asked Mr. Ye playfully, "Really?"
Her eyes and movements resembled a young girl who had just fallen in love.
Ye Jin once again held Xia An's hand and looked at him quietly, noncommittal, but looking at Miss Xia's dramatic look at this second, she actually wanted to laugh a little.
Xia An happened to catch the slight curve of the corner of Ye Jin's mouth. Even though Xia An saw the helplessness in her smile, she couldn't help but take a second look.
When she smiles, she is so beautiful.
Xia An's smile was even more charming, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to talk, full of "sweetness".
Ye Jin stared into Xia An's eyes and cursed, she is really good at acting.
Although Xia An and Ye Jin both understood that this was acting, in Tang Zhen's opinion, it was simply too ambiguous.
Xia An often smiles, but has he ever smiled like this at someone?
Tang Zhen looked at the two people holding hands tightly in front of him, his expression was very ugly. He started to like Xia An when he was in high school, and has always been willing to accompany her silently. How could it be possible to say that he didn't expect a result at all?
Although he didn't know when he would be able to wait for a response, at least Xia An was always alone. Moreover, Xia Hexian also supported their relationship, so Tang Zhen selfishly felt that he would still have a chance.
but now……
Xia An pulled Ye Jin to leave.
Tang Zhen was unwilling to give up, but he didn't care about losing his temper. He stopped Xia An and asked, "When did you do this? Why didn't I know?"
Ye Jin took a step forward, stood in front of Xia An, and spoke again, "She is my girlfriend. Do I have to explain everything to you?"
"You..." Tang Zhen was refuted again and had nothing to say. For so many years, he had always regarded caring for Xia An as his responsibility, and even as a habit.
"Sir, if you continue to pester my girlfriend, I think it is necessary to let the police handle this matter." Ye Jin didn't want to waste any more words. She turned back to Xia An and whispered, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Xia An responded in a daze. When Ye Jin took half a step to protect her, her heart felt warm. Maybe the other party just made a careless action.
This seems to be the first time that Xia An, like a sheep, lets others protect her. After all, she has been independent since she was sixteen years old, and strives not to rely on others, even her family.
Following Ye Jin, when Xia An was being held by the other party, she once again felt the heat in her palms.
She walked absentmindedly.
Xia An, who had always been used to facing everyone alone, suddenly felt an inexplicable expectation in his heart, an expectation for two people...
Never before.
Although she has more experience than her peers, the 23-year-old Xia An's love life is still a blank slate. She has never considered this aspect and has no time to think about it. Since adolescence, she has been busy with making a living, studying, and improving herself.
Being independent and strong...how can I have the energy to think about other things?
But now, Xia An suddenly started to look forward to it. Just like tonight, she looked forward to having someone stand by her side when she was occasionally vulnerable. Of course, it would be the person she liked.
Xia An laughed at herself, wondering why she was so bored thinking about these problems. Her current life was enough to make her breathless.
However, having expectations is not a bad thing.
The air is becoming more and more stuffy and very hot.
Gradually walking away, Tang Zhen finally stopped following. Xia An solved a big headache. She immediately let go of Ye Jin's hand, "I just troubled you again."
It is incredible to say that they have only met three times in total, and they were each other's "girlfriends" twice.
Ye Jin accidentally caught a glimpse of Xia An's slender right wrist, which had fingerprints on it, which showed how much force the man had used just now.
Xia An just rubbed her wrist casually, even frowning. She asked Ye Jin curiously, "Mr. Ye... why are you here tonight?"
"Passing by." Ye Jin saw the relaxed look on Xia An's face, as if the embarrassing thing just now had never happened.
"Such a coincidence..." Xia An felt that the possibility was too small. Was her appearance at the right time just a coincidence? So she should have heard the argument with Tang Zhen just now.
Thinking of this, Xia An didn't know what to say except "What a coincidence." After thinking about it, he said thank you again and prepared to leave.
Ye Jin did hear all those conversations. Her eyes fell on Xia An's thin figure, silently thinking about something. When the other party walked two meters away, Ye Jin suddenly said, "Xia An."
Xia An stopped and turned around, finding Ye Jin walking towards her.
"Do you want to drink?" Ye Jin asked.
Mr. Ye took the initiative to invite? Xia An suspected that she heard wrongly, "What?"
"Last time you said you wanted to drink with me."
"Ah?" Xia An was surprised that Ye Jin took this seriously, but she always felt that it was more than just drinking. After all, Mr. Ye didn't seem like someone who liked drinking for fun. Xia An looked at Ye Jin for a moment, then nodded, "
OK."
After being made such a fuss by Tang Zhen tonight, Xia An was not in the mood to go to work at Yese again. "I won't go to Yese anymore. Can I change to a place that's a little cleaner?"
The night was too noisy, and she wanted to find a quiet place.
"Yeah." This just suited Ye Jin's meaning.
The two of them went to a small, inconspicuous bar on Bar Street. The music was lyrical and the style was fresh. Compared to the night, it was unusually clean.
Xia An doesn't like the hot atmosphere at night either, but there's nothing he can do about it, whoever gets the most generous salary there.
"I'll buy you a drink."
"Don't look at me like this, I'm a very good drinker." Xia An half-joked, giving Ye Jin a heads up first.
"It's harmful to the body." Ye Jin felt that her reminder was unnecessary. Miss Xia was still a doctor by profession.
"Yeah." Miss Xia nodded obediently, but she still didn't understand why Ye Jin suddenly asked her to drink.
"Mr. Ye..." Xia An had just opened his mouth to ask why, when Ye Jin's cell phone rang.
"Sorry, I'll answer the call first." Ye Jin saw that the caller ID was Aunt Zhou. She guessed that the little one was busy at home, so she swiped to answer the call.
Xia An drank alone, holding a glass of wine and looking at the surrounding environment leisurely. However, the sound of Ye Jin's voice still penetrated her ears vaguely.
"Well... I'll go back a little later... You put Wan Wan to bed first... Don't let her eat sweets..." After a few casual explanations, Ye Jin hung up the phone.
Xia An had already finished his glass of wine. After listening to the phone call Ye Jin made just now, Xia An turned the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Your husband?"
Ye Jin took a sip of wine and said, "No."
If it's not a man, that's...
Xia An thought to herself that she really liked women.
So Xia An smiled again and asked tentatively, "Wife?"
Ye Jin put down the wine glass in her hand, raised her eyes to Xia An, and said slowly, "Did I say I was married?"
