Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Father-Son Negotiation
“Yanan, how are you feeling? Let take you to the hospital.”
Mo Xiyan stood by, seeing the painful look on Ning Yanan’s face, and hurriedly pulled out so tissues to give to her.
“I’m fine, just been suffering from gastroenteritis these past few days, can’t eat anything. I’ll be okay after so rest.”
Ning Yanan could no longer vomit anything, she was just retching painfully.
Catching Mo Xiyan’s skeptical glance, she guiltily looked away, offering a faint explanation.
“You always disregard your health, not eating on ti, of course your stomach can’t handle it. I’ll take you to the hospital for so tests. With your condition, you must get targeted treatnt and proper recuperation.”
Mo Xiyan said, grabbing Ning Yanan and heading outside.
“I’m fine, let go of my hand first.”
The mont Ning Yanan heard about going to the hospital, she nervously withdrew her hand and turned around.
“I’ve already been to the hospital, it’s just the sa old issue, I’ve been prescribed dication. Going again will be the sa. Mo Xiyan, I’m an adult now, you don’t always have to treat like a child. I know how to take care of myself.”
“If you really knew, you wouldn’t have put yourself through this. Look at your face, people out at night might think they’ve seen a ghost!” Mo Xiyan stepped forward and embraced her without asking.
“Yanan, I don’t want to pressure you, but seeing you like this really hurts . As a man, I can be invincible on the battlefield, but I can’t even protect the woman I love. Do you know how defeated I feel inside?”
“…”
“I know you don’t like now, but please do not reject my kindness. I won’t force you to respond to , just let be good to you, can’t you even allow that?”
“…”
Ning Yanan stood rigidly.
She forgot to push Mo Xiyan away and didn’t know how to respond.
She was carrying Jiang Jinchen’s child, how could she deserve Mo Xiyan’s kindness?
Mo Xiyan’s efforts were dood to end in vain; she couldn’t bring herself to exploit soone who truly cared for her.
A prolonged silence.
Ning Yanan’s lack of response was her coldest rejection.
Mo Xiyan’s arms slowly loosened, his gaze dropped to her evasive eyes, darkening.
“I understand.”
He let his arms fall, turned, and walked away.
“Mo Xiyan, I’m sorry…”
Ning Yanan watched his dejected figure, held her face in her hands, and crouched down.
Tears fell through her fingers.
…
In the office of Zhi Shang, Jiang Jinchen sat in the CEO’s chair, slightly rotating it, his eyebrows raised as he looked at Jiang Haoyan seated across from him.
Father and son, neither of them spoke first.
The silent pressure spread through the room.
“You think just because you set up your own company in Arica, I can’t touch you?” Jiang Haoyan stared at his younger son, radiating full composure. His astute old eyes flickered slightly, giving away a complexity that no one could understand.
Since leaving the military, Jiang Jinchen had always been reckless.
Living like a rich heir, clubbing, chasing girls, stirring up scandals.
Always leaving sses for Jiang Haoyan to clean up.
From early on, Jiang Haoyan had stopped bothering with him, letting him ss around, and when extrely annoyed, would lock him up for a few days.
Jiang Jinchen was well aware of his limits, never causing too much trouble for the Jiang Family.
Occasionally, he would handle so delicate matters for Jiang Haoyan when it was inconvenient for him to appear.
Jiang Haoyan knew his son was not lacking in capability, but had no idea he had hidden it so well; in the blink of an eye, he had set up his own groups across several states in Arica.
