Chapter 15 I'm Already Married

• "Please, have a seat."
• An Jingxi hesitated for a moment, but eventually opened the car door and sat inside.
• "Why are you here?" An Jingxi was puzzled. Shouldn't he be at work in the company at this time?
• "I brought you some coffee and pastries to warm you up. It has been quite chilly lately." Leng Ye took out a large bag from the back seat, containing a cup of milk coffee and a few small pastries.
• "Last time, I noticed that you liked orange-flavored pastries, so I bought a few more this time. Take a look and see if you still enjoy them." Leng Ye said, gesturing for An Jingxi to open and see.
• An Jingxi looked at the coffee and pastries in front of her, but didn't take them.
• He had observed carefully, but...
• "You came all the way here just to bring me these?" An Jingxi looked at Leng Ye seriously.
• "What's wrong? Don't you like them? What would you like to eat, I..." Seeing An Jingxi's serious expression, Leng Ye felt a bit lost.
• "Leng Ye, I know why you came today. I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and now I can give you my answer." An Jingxi looked at the hope in Leng Ye's eyes at this moment, not knowing how to say it.
• "Tell me."
• An Jingxi remained silent for a moment, then finally said firmly, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I don't think we're compatible."
• "Not compatible? Why aren't we compatible? Am I not good enough?" Leng Ye grabbed An Jingxi's shoulder excitedly, afraid that she would disappear the next second.
• "No, you're great. It's just that I'm not deserving of you." An Jingxi turned her head and looked out of the car window.
• "How could you not be deserving of me? Who dares to say a word against the woman I like? I only want you."
• Leng Ye still held onto her shoulder tightly. "From the moment I saw you, I promised myself that I would marry you and cherish you."
• "Leng Ye, please stop!" An Jingxi gritted her teeth and forcefully pushed Leng Ye's hand away.
• "An Jingxi, you can only be mine!" Leng Ye disregarded An Jingxi's struggle and held her tightly, wanting to kiss her long-awaited red lips.
• "That's enough!" An Jingxi used all her strength to push Leng Ye away and slapped him hard.
• "Do you know why I suddenly left last time? It's because my son got sick and I had to go to the hospital to take care of him," An Jingxi said, looking at the cold and dim expression on his face. She continued, "I'm already married and have a child, so there's no possibility between us."
• No, she must be lying. This can't be true!
• Leng Ye felt as if the whole world had turned black. "You must be lying to me, right?"
• He looked at An Jingxi with disbelief.
• "Why would I lie to you? What benefit would I gain from lying to you?" An Jingxi asked expressionlessly. "So, please forget about me, President Ye. I am already a married woman."
• Without waiting for Leng Ye to respond, An Jingxi swiftly got out of the car and left.
• Watching her walk away, Leng Ye couldn't hold back his tears anymore. "Why..."
• As soon as she got out of the car, An Jingxi couldn't help but shed tears as well. She took a deep breath and forced herself to keep walking until she heard Leng Ye's heart-wrenching voice.
• She couldn't hold on any longer and ran to a corner where he couldn't see, squatting down and covering her mouth as she cried.
• I'm sorry, Leng Ye. I'm really sorry.
• ............
• Inside the "Charm" bar.
• In a secluded private room at the corner, the floor was littered with scattered bottles.
• Leng Ye leaned back on the sofa, looking disheveled with messy hair and an open collar, adding a touch of unruliness and charm to him.
• One hand rested on the back of the sofa, while the other held a bottle of liquor, pouring it into his mouth.
• "What are you doing?!" Suddenly, a hand snatched the bottle from his hand.
• "Who dares to take my drink?!" Leng Ye squinted his eyes and, after seeing the person in front of him clearly, slurred, "Yao, give me the drink."
• "So you still recognize me. If Lanjie hadn't called me, how long were you planning to keep drinking? Is it appropriate for the esteemed President of the Cold Corporation to get drunk in a bar like this?" Si Yao looked at Leng Ye's current state with a mix of pain and worry.
• Lanjie, whose real name was Su Lan, was the former owner of the "Charm" bar. Since meeting An Jingxi here, Leng Ye had often approached Lanjie to inquire about her whereabouts.
• Later, in order to meet An Jingxi again, Leng Ye bought the bar and became the hidden boss.
• Since Leng Ye arrived here at noon, he had locked himself in the private room, continuously calling for drinks.
• Lan Jie was afraid that something would happen to him, so she called Si Yao. That's why Si Yao and Yan Xin hurriedly rushed over.
• Yan Xin went to the restroom for a moment, so Si Yao was a step behind. "Brother Yao, how is Leng Ye doing?"
• Just as Yan Xin closed the door, she turned around and saw Leng Ye stumbling towards her, tightly hugging her.
• "What are you doing!" Yan Xin couldn't help but feel exasperated, desperately pushing Leng Ye away.
• "Jing Xi, why don't you want me? Why?" Leng Ye kept muttering in Yan Xin's ear.
• With Si Yao's help, Yan Xin finally managed to break free from Leng Ye's grasp and settled him on the sofa.
• Si Yao looked at Lan Jie beside him and said, "Lan Jie, could you please prepare some hangover soup for this guy?"
• "Sure, I'll go prepare it right away."
• After Lan Jie left, Yan Xin and Si Yao carefully thought about what he had just said.
• "He was calling for Jing Xi just now, saying something like 'Jing Xi, why don't you want me?'" Yan Xin vaguely heard what he said.
• "Jing Xi? Could it be the one from his house last time?" Si Yao suddenly remembered the scene he saw in Leng Ye's room last time. "Let me tell you..."
• Si Yao recounted everything he saw to Yan Xin in detail.
• "Wow, I can't believe he's doing all this because of love. It's really unnecessary," Yan Xin exclaimed in disbelief.
• "Yeah."
• "Jing Xi, Jing Xi, where are you..."
• While Si Yao and Yan Xin were still amazed, they heard Leng Ye continuously calling out for Jing Xi from the sofa.
• Si Yao shouted and shook his head, "Stop calling! I'll call her."
• With that, Si Yao picked up Leng Ye's phone and skillfully unlocked it.
• After searching for a while, he couldn't find anyone named Jing Xi. Suddenly, he noticed a contact with the nickname "Xi Baby" and decided to give it a try.
• Meanwhile, An Jing Xi, who was engrossed in a book, saw the incoming call on her phone and hesitated for a moment before declining it.
• "Hello, the number you dialed is currently in use. Please try again later," the automated voice of the customer service said.
• Listening to the voice of the customer service on the phone, Si Yao repeatedly dialed several times.
• Finally, An Jing Xi answered the call this time.
• "Do you have something else to say?"
• Si Yao pondered for a moment and politely asked, "Hello, may I ask if you are Jing Xi?"
• Hearing the unfamiliar voice in her ear, An Jing Xi moved the phone away and looked at the nickname "Leng Ye" on the screen.
• An Jing Xi looked puzzled. "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
• "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Si Yao, Leng Ye's brother. Although I am unaware of the circumstances between you and him, he is currently intoxicated and keeps mentioning your name." Si Yao glanced at Leng Ye on the sofa. "So, if it's possible, would you mind coming over for a moment?"
