Contract Wife: CEO, Please Be Gentle - C317
“Unless …” Yan Xuyan muttered, as though he was thinking about something, and in that moment, he did not manage to think of a complete sentence.
But Ling Xiaosu actually heard the hidden hope in these two words, and immediately asked: “Unless what?”
Ling Xiaosu had thought it through, as long as Yan Xuyan agreed to let her leave this place alive, she would agree to any request she had. But being too excessive with the plan, she would rather die here than to agree.
“Unless, unless —” Yan Xuyan suddenly reverted back to his previous state, looked at Ling Xiaosu with eyes full of scheming, and said: “Unless you promise to stay with me, then I will let you leave this place.”
With that, Ling Xiaosu’s eyes slowly widened, and looked at Yan Xuyan in disbelief, “Yan Xuyan, you still want me to be with you, did you forget? “The two of us broke up a long time ago. Right now, I’m the fiancee of a heaven-defying genius. You …”
“So what if I am!?” It’s not like we can’t break up with him! ” Yan Xuyan roared over, as if he would go crazy if he heard the name Ni Tianchen from his mouth.
Ling Xiaosu frowned, “Yan Xuyan, do you know what you’re saying?”
Yan Xuyan’s face revealed that crazed expression from before, as he laughed and said: “Of course I know what I’m talking about, you actually broke up with me, why can’t I break up with him? Or could it be that you are simply unwilling to part with the wealth that is in Ni Tianchen’s possession? ”
Ling Xiaosu squinted as he looked at Yan Xuyan, and spat out a sentence coldly. “You’re really crazy.”
“That’s right. I’ve gone mad, so you asked me to let you go. I can tell you this only on one condition, and that is to agree to be with me, or else you will be imprisoned here forever.”
With that, Yan Xuyan slowly stood up, looked around Ling Xiaosu with a dark and cold gaze, then turned and walked out, leaving Ling Xiaosu alone in this damp and cold house.
It seemed that she had to leave immediately. Yan Xuyan had already lost her mind, if she did not leave immediately, Yan Xuyan might really go crazy one day. Whether or not she could survive like this, that would be a problem.
The more he thought about it, the more determined Ling Xiaosu became that he had to leave this place.
Ling Xiaosu turned his head to look out the window, the warm sunlight was not dazzling, but Ling Xiaosu still squinted his eyes, an unfathomable light flowed within his eyes, it seemed like this year’s winter was especially cold.
For a whole week, Ni Tianchen kept increasing the number of people searching for the whereabouts of Ling Xiaosu. This town was obviously very small, but he just couldn’t find Ling Xiaosu, and he couldn’t even find any clues as to who took Ling Xiaosu away.
Ni Tianchen pinched the center of his brows and heaved a heavy sigh. He was in an incomparably heavy mood and his face was covered with a haze that he could not let go.
Only until an urgent phone call came out did Ni Tianchen furrow his brows and take out his phone from his pocket to answer it.
“Did I tell you that even if that woman disappears, you can’t go find her? That’s none of our business, why are you running so far away to find her, disobeying my orders!” When he picked up the phone, Ni Haiwei roared at Ni Tianchen, extremely angry.
“Third Uncle.” These past few days, he had been constantly searching for Ling Xiaosu. It had already been quite a few days since he had properly slept, and under his eyes, there were already dense black circles.
Ni Tianchen said: “Ling Xiaosu is my fiancee, she is my woman. If she were to disappear, and I were to pretend to not care about her, or even not look for her, then isn’t my fiance too incompetent?”
“Stop finding excuses to speak in front of me. When did our Ni Family admit that she is your fiancee?” Ni Haiwei said restlessly on the phone: “Hurry back right now and don’t go find that woman anymore. Who that woman is has nothing to do with you.”
“How could it have nothing to do with me?” Ni Tianchen interrupted Ni Haiwei, using a bland tone, but not losing out in the slightest as he said: “She’s my, Ni Tianchen’s, fiancee, the only woman that I, Ni Tianchen, will marry in my entire life. How could she possibly have nothing to do with me?”
“Third Uncle, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Right now, I can’t rush back nor will I go back. Please help me manage the company’s affairs. Thank you, Third Uncle.” After that, Ni Tianchen did not wait for Ni Haiwei to continue shouting at him. He immediately hung up, and pinched the center of his brows with a headache.
By the side, Ling Anan saw Ni Tianchen pinching the center of his brows and his brows knitted tightly. He pursed his lips and after hesitating for a bit, he walked over and asked.
Ni Tianchen lowered his hand, his eyes revealing a cold glint, “It’s alright, mother-in-law, don’t worry. I will definitely find Xiaoxiao and give you an explanation.”
Ling Anan laughed in despair. His eyes were red and swollen from not being able to find Ling Xiaosu’s whereabouts these few days as he spoke a little louder, “We still don’t know who Xiao Xiao was taken away by now. Son-in-law, if you really can’t find her, don’t force yourself.”
Ling Anan had just finished speaking when his expression turned serious. He laughed dryly for the first time and said: “What kind of words are those, how can I not force you? Xiao Xiao is my other half. If I do not even care about her life or death, then wouldn’t that mean ….”
“But we don’t have any leads right now.” Ling Anan’s weak voice interrupted Ni Tianchen’s words, he closed his eyes then opened them, as though he had made some sort of decision.
“If I really can’t find it.” Ling Anan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Ni Tianchen, “If we really can’t find Xiao Xiao’s whereabouts, then we might as well tell that person Xiao Xiao’s existence, maybe… He can find Xiaoxiao. ”
“mother-in-law …” Ni Tianchen looked at Ling Anan in shock.
Ling Anan turned around and walked away. His back looked like he was betting everything on this.
When Ling Anan walked a distance away, Ni Tianchen lowered his eyes, his thoughts could not be seen. He already knew that the person they were hiding in was Ling Xiaosu’s father, he had known this from the start.
Ni Tianchen closed his eyes, and thought back to the first time he had spoken to Ling Xiaosu.
“No matter what happens in the future, you have to stay by my side. Can you agree?”
Ni Tianchen remembered that Ling Xiaosu’s expression back then was a little shocked. After the shock was over, her eyes started to avoid looking at him, and her cheeks started to quietly turn red. Only after a long while did she reply.
“Yes.” His expression was a little cold at the time, and his eyes also said, “Then can you tell me this in front of me? Say that no matter what happens in the future, you must stay by my side and not leave. ”
“I … I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you unless you personally chase me away.”
This was just like an oath. At that moment, Ling Xiaosu’s resolute gaze made him waver, as if he had taken a fancy to her at that time, so he only cared about her now, from the very beginning.
