Chapter 547: Accident

Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Accident

"Just a few days after leaving, someone tries to take my woman and undermine my company. It seems Zhonghai is becoming a tougher place," Yang Chen scratched his messy hair, then put his hands in his baggy shorts' pockets and walked up to Lu Min, motioning An Xin to come over.

An Xin, understanding his intent, happily threw herself at Yang Chen, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his cheek with a deliberately drawn-out "mwah" sound.

The previously helpless An Xin, though she didn't know how Yang Chen suddenly returned to Zhonghai, felt all her burdens lifted with her man's sudden appearance. Nestled in Yang Chen's arms, smelling his familiar scent, she calmed down and no longer feared Lu Min.

Lu Min knew that this display was meant for him, a blatant show of defiance. But he wasn't easily provoked. After all, he wouldn't have been placed in a high-level position at such a young age if he were impulsive. His family's background was essential, but he himself had to be competent enough not to embarrass them.

"So, you're Yang Chen. You look like a beggar. Is it possible that useless men like you use this ugly eccentricity to attract women?" Lu Min mocked.

Yang Chen glanced at his clothes and chuckled, "I get it, you're just jealous."

"Jealous? Ha, you clearly have no idea who you're talking to," Lu Min said arrogantly.

Yang Chen ignored him, instead placing a hand on An Xin's bottom, making her giggle.

Lu Min coldly smiled and looked at Yang Chen with interest. "A married man and a mistress. Do you think acting like this will make me feel embarrassed? Aren't you being too childish?"

"Whether you're embarrassed or not, I don't care. But this is my office, and I never said you could come in. If you don't leave now, I won't mind throwing you out the window," Yang Chen said with a smile, nodding toward the large floor-to-ceiling window behind him. He had little interest in talking to this guy.

This was a high-rise building; throwing someone out the window was essentially a death threat.

Lu Min didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, Yang Chen was just a small fry who didn't know his background and was only climbing up by clinging to women. He sneered, "Yang, do you think you're so great because you're with Lin Ruoxi? If you're smart, step aside and let An Xin come with me. She can have fun with me for a few days, and when I'm done, I'll return her..."

Before Lu Min could finish, he suddenly felt a steel-like hand clutch his neck!

His body was lifted into the air, his legs flailing, unable to break free, his face turning red as he struggled to breathe!

Some women try hard to become independent from men, but they often end up feeling lonely. It's not that they don't crave a safe harbor; they just haven't met the right person. An Xin had thought she would always be a drifting weed, destined to be a pawn in marriage alliances due to her father. But Yang Chen's presence had saved her from a dark and hopeless world.

"Thank you, hubby," An Xin murmured. "Even though it doesn't sound good to say it, I feel so happy being your lover."

Yang Chen, holding this little vixen by her slender waist, felt a sense of accomplishment hearing her say "happy." He playfully scolded, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Lu Min has been pestering you for a while, hasn't he?"

Pouting in frustration, An Xin replied, "I thought I could handle it myself. He hadn't done anything too excessive, just kept bothering me. I didn't want to trouble you with my problems."

Yang Chen gave her a light slap on the rear, eliciting a startled yelp from her.

"Afraid of causing me trouble? If I hadn't come back in time, this wouldn't be a 'trouble' but an 'accident.'"

Seeing Yang Chen's displeased expression, An Xin, knowing part of it was feigned, still felt anxious. She pleaded, "Hubby, please don't be mad. I was hesitant because my dad told me that Lu Min's background is very formidable, and I was afraid it would bring you a lot of pressure. I didn't mean to hide it from you. Please calm down, okay? Next time, if anything like this happens, I'll tell you immediately."

Yang Chen understood that An Xin was mostly concerned for him. Even though he had shown her some of his abilities, it had been abroad, and everyone knew that Yanxia had a certain barrier from the international community. He needed to put on an act to ensure she wouldn't hesitate to tell him in the future.

In the past, having An Xin as his woman was partly due to male pride and possessiveness. However, over time, through work and daily life, this little vixen had taken a significant place in his heart. He truly didn't want her to suffer any harm.

Seeing Yang Chen still somewhat displeased, An Xin, worried he wasn't satisfied, bit her lip and lifted her head to kiss him near his lips. Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were filled with watery affection and regret, trying to convey her apology and love.

What a temptress. Yang Chen's eyes burned with desire.

"Hubby, I..." An Xin said coquettishly, hesitating with shyness.

Yang Chen pinched her cheek with a mischievous smile. "I've been on a plane for over ten hours, haven't showered all day, and I'm filthy. And you, little temptress, still want to..."

"I don't mind. I'm not afraid of dirt," An Xin giggled and kissed him lightly.

A shiver ran through Yang Chen's body, and any concerns about cleanliness vanished. He picked An Xin up and placed her on the large office desk.
