Ruan Chenxuan’s remaining words were stuck in his throat. Listening to the busy beeping sound coming from the phone, he didn’t move for a long time.
He had guessed that the other party would refuse, but he didn’t expect it to be so quick and decisive!
It seemed that ever since Jing Yicheng returned, Xu Chenghao had become even more ruthless…
Even more helpless was that once Jing Yicheng returned, it was like an iron wall surrounded Xu Chenghao, making it impossible for Ruan Chenxuan to get close. As long as Xu Chenghao didn’t want to see him, there was no way he could meet him.
Ruan Chenxuan closed his eyes and told himself to stay calm in such situations. A few seconds later, he regained his composure and continued to send messages to Xu Chenghao: “Mr. Xu, everything I just said is true. I am proposing to you with everything I have. Doesn’t that prove my sincerity?”
Xu Chenghao replied after a long while: “Since you have regained your memory, you should know about An Rouyu. You should know that I didn’t lie to you. You really have a son.”
Ruan Chenxuan: “I’m very sorry for deceiving you earlier. I haven’t regained my memory. I knew about Zheng Xiaoxiao at the last banquet because I happened to be investigating the cause of the car accident. I just wanted you to answer my call and not ignore me.”
Xu Chenghao: “Are you crazy? Is playing such tricks fun for you?”
Ruan Chenxuan: “I wouldn’t use these tricks if you were willing to see me.”
Xu Chenghao: “Heh, even if you use these tricks, I won’t see you. At most, I’ll dislike you even more.”
Ruan Chenxuan: “But I will still keep trying for you.”
Xu Chenghao: “??? Can’t you understand human language? I told you, you have a wife and a son. Are you planning to be a jerk and abandon your wife? And we’re enemies. It was impossible from the beginning. This isn’t bravery for love; it’s just being clingy and annoying. Stop being moved by your own actions!”
After sending the message, Xu Chenghao blocked Ruan Chenxuan’s number. But the next second, another message came from a different unknown number: “Even though I have a wife and child, they were the ones who abandoned me first. Why should I wait for them? There are cases of persistence leading to love. Not being brave is what you will truly regret!”
Xu Chenghao was speechless, feeling that this guy was the epitome of selfishness and self-centeredness. They couldn’t communicate at all, as their thinking was completely different.
This domineering pursuit of love, where escape is not allowed, might be a common tactic for the male lead. But could you please use this tactic on someone who likes you? Have you ever considered the other person’s feelings when chasing someone who doesn’t like you? It’s as disgusting as stepping on dog poop!
Xu Chenghao was too angry to speak. After blocking the number again, he started complaining to Jing Yicheng: “Ruan Chenxuan is pestering me.”
Jing Yicheng replied almost instantly: “I’m on my way, almost there.”
Xu Chenghao: “Then you handle it.”
Jing Yicheng: “Alright, wait for me.”
Xu Chenghao finally felt happy. He turned off his phone, threw it in the drawer, and hugged the little yellow duck while shouting, “Li Nian, call for a meeting!”
“Coming!”
Upstairs, Xu Chenghao was busy with the heated meeting, while downstairs, Ruan Chenxuan was still persistently sending messages, waiting for a reply.
It wasn’t until a car stopped beside him that Ruan Chenxuan’s busy hands stopped typing and he turned his head to look over. The black car window clearly reflected his bruised and battered appearance, instantly reminding him of the humiliation from the previous day. When the car door opened and Jing Yicheng got out, anger surged in his eyes: “It’s you!”
Jing Yicheng casually slammed the car door shut, staring coldly at the drone remote control in Ruan Chenxuan’s hand. “I heard you regained your memory?”
Ruan Chenxuan calmly replied, “It’s none of your business.”
“How is it not my business?” Jing Yicheng glanced at his cheek with a hint of mockery. “What if I was the one who helped you recover? Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
The anger in Ruan Chenxuan’s eyes intensified. “That would be a disappointment for you. I haven’t regained my memory, and I definitely won’t thank you!”
Jing Yicheng’s expression turned even darker than Ruan Chenxuan’s. His hand, hanging by his side, slowly clenched into a fist. “So, you’re intentionally looking for an excuse to harass Xu Chenghao?”
Ruan Chenxuan retorted, “Harass? We’re both single, isn’t it normal to pursue someone? Who are you to question me?”
Jing Yicheng sneered. “It seems the lesson I gave you yesterday wasn’t enough for you to remember what I said!”
With that, Jing Yicheng lost his patience and made a move. Although it was inappropriate to use weapons in a busy area, Jing Yicheng’s skills were unmatched. Ruan Chenxuan, having anticipated this, blocked his punch. As long as there were no weapons involved, he could barely hold his own against Jing Yicheng.
The two began fighting openly in front of the Xu Group building, engaging in a brutal fistfight, showing no mercy. Even as they fought, they continued to provoke each other.
Jing Yicheng snarled, “You better stay away from Xu Chenghao in the future, or else even if you lose your memory, I’ll make you remember!”
Ruan Chenxuan shot back, “Even if I haven’t remembered the past, I know you left for more than two months, and you two already broke up!”
This was Jing Yicheng’s sore spot. His anger flared instantly. “Say that again!”
Ruan Chenxuan caught off guard, was struck in the abdomen, stumbling back a few steps. Enduring the pain, he continued, “Did I hit a nerve? You’re ridiculous. Standing in the same position as me, yet you tell me to leave. What right do you have?”
Jing Yicheng coldly replied, “Because I was here first. Besides, given my relationship with Xu Chenghao, even if you try to interfere, it won’t work!”
Ruan Chenxuan laughed mockingly. “You were here first? Looks like you came back too late!”
Jing Yicheng countered, “Do you think it’s up to you to decide if it’s too late?”
Ruan Chenxuan: “It’s not up to me, but I’ve already proposed to Xu Chenghao. Have you?”
Upon hearing this, Jing Yicheng was thoroughly enraged. Saying “You’re asking for it,” he pulled out a weapon and fired over ten shots at Ruan Chenxuan, disregarding the crowded area.
Despite his preparation, Ruan Chenxuan was still hit twice. Surprisingly, he didn’t feel pain but rather a numbness spreading through his body, like anesthesia coursing through his veins. Three seconds later, he lost consciousness and collapsed.
Jing Yicheng’s rationality slowly returned. Seeing the weapon in his hand, he remembered that his assistant had replaced his gun with a tranquilizer on the way to prevent him from killing someone in a moment of impulse.
What a shame!
Jing Yicheng threw the tranquilizer gun on the ground in frustration. His assistant silently picked it up, hesitating whether to return the real gun to his boss now. Suddenly, a group of people rushed in, quickly blocking Ruan Chenxuan and rescuing him with swift movements.
Both Jing Yicheng and his assistant watched the fast-acting bodyguards leave. After they were gone, the assistant whispered, “Zhang Yun’s men.”
Jing Yicheng sneered, “He really treats Zhang Yun as a get-out-of-jail-free card, carrying him around all the time!”
The assistant said nothing, lowering his eyes, but inwardly he was relieved that he had successfully persuaded his boss to switch to a tranquilizer gun with the combination of President Xu and the little yellow duck. Otherwise, if something had happened, it would have been a dangerous situation. If someone caught wind of it, it would have been a much bigger problem when it eventually exploded.
What the assistant could think of, Jing Yicheng naturally knew as well, but he felt that he had done so many reckless things already that he was beyond caring. What he cared about now was that Ruan Chenxuan had actually proposed to Xu Chenghao!!!
He hadn’t even proposed to Xu Chenghao yet, and this guy had beaten him to it!
Just thinking about it made Jing Yicheng furious, wanting to chase after Ruan Chenxuan and shoot him a couple more times. No, he had to assert his dominance; Xu Chenghao had to be his!!
Jing Yicheng quickly put Ruan Chenxuan out of his mind, rushing straight into the Xu Group building. He took the elevator directly to Xu Chenghao’s office. Surprisingly, he found no one there.
He frowned and made a call, but the phone was turned off.
Jing Yicheng, already anxious, became even more unsettled. As he checked each room in the hallway, he finally found someone in the assistant’s room—Li Nian.
Li Nian was packing up some files, stacking them as if he was about to carry them away. When he saw Jing Yicheng push the door open, he was momentarily stunned, “Mr. Jing? When did you arrive? Do you need something?”
Jing Yicheng stared at Li Nian for a moment, then suddenly asked with a serious face, “I have a question for you.”
Seeing Jing Yicheng’s expression, Li Nian became apprehensive and cautiously hugged the files, “Mr. Jing, please go ahead.”
Jing Yicheng asked, “Did Ruan Chenxuan propose to Xu Chenghao?”
Li Nian, although prepared, couldn’t help showing a slight reaction. Looking at Jing Yicheng’s face, he felt a strong sense of satisfaction, thinking, ‘Ha, you scumbag who abandoned Mr. Xu, now you finally realize how popular and loved our Mr. Xu is.’
So, Li Nian nodded, “Yes, twice, counting today.”
Jing Yicheng was enraged, “He proposed before?”
Li Nian smiled, “Yes, right after you left.”
Jing Yicheng was so angry he kicked the wall, deeply regretting why he used a tranquilizer instead of real bullets earlier. Why didn’t he take the chance to kill him, and also… “Why didn’t Haohao tell me about such a big thing?”
Li Nian innocently replied, “Is it a big thing? Mr. Xu has received many confessions and marriage proposals in the past two months; maybe he’s used to it and doesn’t think it’s important.”
Jing Yicheng’s jealousy exploded, “Where is your Mr. Xu!”
“The conference room next door…” Before he finished the sentence, Jing Yicheng had already disappeared, leaving Li Nian staring in astonishment at the swaying door, murmuring the rest of the sentence, “… in a meeting.”
In the next room.
Xu Chenghao was boredly flipping through the documents spread out on the table, his mind already downstairs, worrying if Jing Yicheng, who had been silent for so long, might cause some trouble…
As he was thinking, the conference room door was suddenly kicked open. Xu Chenghao only had time to look up when he was suddenly kissed by someone rushing in.
Xu Chenghao: “???”
Everyone in the conference room: “(○o○)”
