Tang Yun seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. Seeing Jing Yichen’s cold expressions, she didn’t back down but stared at him stubbornly.
Jing Yichen’s anger inside his heart instantly dispersed seeing that she was pretending to be stubborn although she was scared.
He could be cold and fierce towards everyone, but not with Tang Yun.
He hoped that she would be able to find happiness and live a new life, forgetting the pain of the past.
He was also confident enough that with his present ability, he will be able to keep her safe from anything going wrong.
But he hadn’t gotten her back to China to ruin his own marriage and life. If he had planned to marry her, he would not have chosen to marry Shangguan Ning in the first place.
Everyone thought that he refused to touch women, to be in a relationship or to get married because of Tang Yun. Only he knew now that it was because he had not met Shangguan Ning.
In order to find Tang Yun, he was away from Family Jing for ten years and drifting around outside home. He had used all of the power he could have.
His father Jing Zhongxiu had thought that he was crazy. He even refused to offer any family help on many occasions.
His grandma and grandmother, who were in a cold war for so many years, made peace because of him, only because they wanted to join forces to find him across the entire world and to keep placing women to his side so that he was able to forget Tang Yun.
Him not liking those women was not because of Tang Yun.
That he didn’t forget Tang Yun or give up looking for her, had nothing to do with love.
Even if Tang Yun had been a man, he would have still kept on looking for her. But if that had been the case, people would have considered that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.
For ten years, they had used the wrong methods, thus leading to no achievement at all.
It didn’t matter if everyone else had misunderstood him. It didn’t even matter if Tang Yun herself misunderstood him as well.
As long as Shangguan Ning didn’t, it was fine.
But he felt that a huge misunderstanding might have been created between him and Shangguan Ning.
Because half an hour ago, Tiger had already told him that a woman snapped a picture of him and Tang Yun on the sly, and he even showed the picture of the woman to him.
He knew who this woman was. She was the staff who was responsible for guiding Shangguan Ning at the Department of Public Relations. She was Mi Xiaoxiao, who had an easy going relation with Shangguan Ning, as per her own words.
After Mi Xiaoxiao snapped a picture of them, she must have shown the picture to Shangguan Ning. He was clearly able to imagine Shangguan Ning’s reaction at the moment.
He had received a text of Shangguan Ning a minute ago – you are not allowed home tonight, stay on the street!
A touch of bitterness hovered on Jing Yichen’s lip. He replied to his wife instantly – the street administers are strict nowadays, sleeping on the street is forbidden.
Tang Yun found that despite her crying and whimpering, and looking pitiful, Jing Yichen not only refused to comfort her but also got distracted! What was more, he even had a rare smile on his lips while replying to messages!
She knew that he had always been cold and even ruthless, but she also thought that Jing Yichen treated her differently, at least he would not treat others as gently as he was treating her or show concern and care for others as he did to her!
But it was completely different now!
It must have been because of his so-called wife!
Bah, she didn’t believe that Jing Yichen really liked that woman!
A touch of wickedness flashed across her beautiful eyes. She said with an ill intention, “Brother Yichen, I want to visit your home. Your wife must be a nice person and I want to meet her!”
Jing Yichen rejected without hesitation. “No.”
Shangguan Ning had already become extremely jealous of him meeting her and she had already driven him out to the street. If he brought Tang Yun home, Shangguan Ning would definitely disappear from his world.
That was the consequence he was not able to accept!
What was more, he had already given the apartment to Shangguan Ning and she should have a say about who could visit the apartment. He mustn’t bring anyone home if she didn’t like the person.
Besides, he didn’t like it when someone came to disturb their lives.
Including Tang Yun.
Tang Yun got instantly unhappy hearing the words. She pursed her lips and said, “I will hate her if you don’t bring me home! She must be a bad person, a very annoying one! Get divorced now!”
Jing Yichen’s face froze. He said in a distant tone, “She doesn’t need your fondness. You only need to live a good life yourself, that would be enough.”
“Tell your guards what you need. They will do everything for you, and don’t mess around anymore.”
Tang Yun knew what Jing Yichen meant by “messing around”. He was referring to her visit to Jingsheng Enterprise where she claimed that she was his fiancée.
She remained unconvinced at the moment. She believed that she was the only one who was qualified enough to marry Jing Yichen in the entire world. Who on earth was the bitch who took up her position and who robbed her of Brother Yichen? She was definitely going to tear her face apart!
She just got annoyed when Jing Yichen’s cell phone rang suddenly opposite her.
Jing Yichen threw a look at the screen and ignored it with a cold expression.
But the cell-phone kept ringing. It didn’t want to stop until he picked it up.
Tang Yun chuckled inside her heart at the sight of Jing Yichen’s impatience.
It must have been Brother Yichen’s wife who called. He didn’t like her so he didn’t want to answer her call.
She was just thinking and suddenly she realized that maybe Jing Yichen married that woman because of the pressure of the family and that woman must been ugly and old with some family money that could help Jing Yichen to some degree.
However, a while later, Jing Yichen still picked up the cell-phone with a cold expression. He said as if cherishing every word, “Yes?”
The old lady Mo Lan’s voice arose from the cell-phone. She ignored her grandson’s coldness and complained. “Why did you wait so long to pick up now? My phone is running out of battery!”
“I am hanging up if there is nothing else.”
“No, no, I do have something! You little bastard, I called you because I have something to tell you!” Mo Lan said quickly and then said with some awkwardness. “Well, it was my fault last time to have scolded you without understanding the entire thing. I promise I will never do that again! Besides, I have scolded Ran fiercely and he is grounded recently for self-reflection.”
Jing Yichen replied with a simple “ok”. His expression didn’t ease up because of the old lady’s apology.
He had run into too many similar things since childhood.
No matter what happened, he would definitely be scolded by the old lady for bullying Jing Yiran.
He never pretended to be pitiful, nor was he bothered to give any explanation. He tolerated all blame and lecture in silence no matter which situation he ran into. He never dreamt about getting more care. It would be fine as long as he wasn’t blamed for no reason.
Jing Yiran was always the only one who was protected.
Jing Yichen was already used to the days when he was ignored, which made him get increasingly distant and ruthless.
The old lady didn’t stop talking because of grandson’s cold behaviour. She still continued with the nagging. “You must bring your wife home today for us to take a look! Then arrange the wedding and get us a fat grand-grandson to carry on our family name!”
