If his eyes could kill, Zhao Yan would have been torn into pieces by now. Zou Bai did not expect him to be so bold as to say such specious words in front of him. It seemed like he did not take the previous warning to heart at all.
Jiang An responded appropriately, “This place seems to be under my family’s business. If that’s the case, of course I’m considered half the owner. Young Master Zhao really knows how to joke around. No wonder my mother said that you’re a humorous person.”
Her words immediately dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere, and they returned to being unfamiliar with each other.
Zhao Yan was not a rash person. He knew that Jiang An was wary of him now, so he simply gave up on the idea of currying favor with her. He had to dispel the other party’s guard first before he could make a move.
Since he had decided on his future plan, the smile on Zhao Yan’s face became even brighter. He said, “I was just thinking that Miss Jiang hasn’t been filming recently. Coincidentally, you and Zou Bai have a good relationship. Let’s come out and relax together.”
Jiang An didn’t expect the other party’s attitude to change immediately. From a little ambiguous, it became as gentle as the spring breeze. However, this made Jiang An feel that the other party was even more scheming.
Zhao Yan called for the waiter to bring the wine over and said, “Bring a glass of fruit juice to Miss Jiang.”
After saying that, he handed the throw on the sofa to Jiang An. His actions were smooth and natural. He didn’t say anything to take credit for his actions, as if he was just naturally concerned about Jiang An.
If it was Jiang An’s first time seeing him today, she would definitely have a good impression of him. Every human being liked others to be gentle to them.
“Thank you,” Jiang An said softly.
Zou Bai didn’t stand on ceremony. He directly covered Jiang An with a blanket and held her hand to give her warmth. He smiled and said, “We haven’t eaten tonight. I’ll make you fried noodles when we get back. I remember you said you wanted to eat that last time.”
In order to maintain her figure, Jiang An didn’t eat much, but she couldn’t resist the desire to eat delicious food. There were always things she wanted to eat.
Zou Bai knew that she was just saying it. If he really brought her to eat those things, the consequence would be that Jiang An would have to stay in the gym for a long time.
Therefore, Zou Bai would never satisfy those cravings in the name of love. However, he would also not eat those delicacies in front of Jiang An. This was the first time he had mentioned cooking for her.
Jiang An leaned close to his ear. “Why are you suddenly saying these things today? Could it be to anger Zhao Yan?”
“It has nothing to do with him.” Zou Bai rubbed her fingers. “You’ve been controlling your diet too much recently. You have to eat something you want to eat to improve your mood. You mentioned the fried noodles yesterday. I think you still want to eat them.”
Hearing this, Jiang An’s heart was filled with sweetness. She leaned into Zou Bai’s arms and whispered to him. Anyone who saw this would understand that they were a very loving couple.
Zhao Yan’s heart was already filled with dark clouds, but he still maintained a smile on the surface.
Why was it that Zou Bai could get everything? He was the head of the family and had the power to call the shots. Now, even the person he loved was by his side. Moreover, he had two cute children.
What did the heavens not give Zou Bai? Why couldn’t he get these things?
Zhao Yan’s mind was filled with jealousy and hatred for Zou Bai. Looking at Jiang An’s gentle smile, he suddenly felt possessive.
Initially, he had nothing to do with Jiang An. He had only approached Jiang An because he wanted to provoke Zou Bai. However, now he had become determined to get Jiang An and obtain that happiness.
Zhao Yan had never received any love. His mother would only treat him as a tool to do her favors. Every day, she would urge him to learn more things. Then, she would call his father and ask him to come home to see what he had learned.
Even if he got second place, he would be reprimanded. Moreover, he was not allowed to eat for three days and was only allowed to read books.
His father didn’t care about him at all. He was either traveling outside or had gone to meet his ‘true love’ again. No one knew where he was going, let alone whether he would come home.
Every time her mother’s hopes were dashed, she would vent her anger on him.
His sister didn’t like him either. She found his dark expression scary. The two of them had been strangers since they were young.
Zhao Yan felt that he had nothing, but now, he finally had something he wanted. He had to get Jiang An and make her his wife. That way, he would be able to have such warmth.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely carefree. If he snatched Zou Bai’s lover away, he would be able to experience the pain he had been in all this time. It was simply revenge..
