Chapter 154 Flag
"I know you're still angry, but you don't have to terminate the contract, right? Everyone knows about our relationship, and if you make a scene like this, netizens will think we've broken up."
Xu Qingran still did not accept Ye Yan's decision to terminate the contract. It was not because his brand needed Ye Yan, but because he felt that the word "termination of contract" sounded no different from breaking up, which made him disgusted.
But he forgot that once Ye Yan made a decision, there would be no chance to discuss it again.
Ye Yan took off her hat and looked up at him. Only then did Xu Qingran notice that he had cut his hair. Last time, his emotions controlled his reason and he didn't have time to appreciate it properly. He seemed more charming with short hair, which made Xu Qingran a little confused about what he was doing here today.
"If you continue like this, it's not impossible for us to break up."
Ye Yan said frankly that he didn't seem to be joking, nor did he think that saying the word "break up" in person was a serious matter. For him, the fact that he could continue to maintain this relationship in the face of Xu Qingran's changes was already proof that he loved her so much that he couldn't extricate himself.
But Xu Qingran seemed not to understand him. When he heard the word "break up", his face turned gloomy in an instant.
"What did you say?" He said in disbelief, looking into Ye Yan's eyes eagerly wanting to know why this happened. What unforgivable thing had he done to make the person he loved the most think of breaking up.
It was the same expression again. Compared to the apology, Xu Qingran's confusion about his mistake disappointed Ye Yan more.
"Xu Qingran, have you forgotten? In the past, no matter what decision I made, you always listened to me. Sometimes you even listened to my opinions on your own affairs. I liked having midnight snacks with you and you were in charge of the CD. I liked playing games with you and you scolded people for me. I also liked deliberately mentioning my love rivals in front of you to see you get jealous and say bad things about them. But since you came home, all these times I wanted are gone. You forget a lot about me and make some decisions on your own, thinking that they can protect me, but in the end, I end up getting hurt. To be honest, I have tolerated you for a long time. I just love the old you more. If you can't figure it out, there's nothing I can do."
Otherwise, fans would say that he is the most courageous man in the entertainment industry. He says whatever he thinks, without hiding anything, and doesn't care about other people's lives at all.
Just like he said, people have mouths to express themselves. He loves Xu Qingran, so he wants her to understand his thoughts instead of wasting time guessing.
The advantage of being straightforward is that it allows the other person to quickly understand what you want. The disadvantage is that it can be very hurtful at first, and it is difficult for normal people to tolerate this way of communication.
Fortunately, Xu Qingran is not completely normal.
"So you like that..."
After hearing what Ye Yan said about the past, he seemed to have some impression. So he found that he had indeed changed. Now he would only stay up late to read confidential documents, and no longer play games or accompany him for midnight snacks.
"Yes, now you are a flaw in my eyes. It's really hard to hold it in. I originally forced myself to accept everything about you, but you can't take back what you said in front of your mother. The child can't have genes from both of us, so I don't want it at all. I also don't want my lover to have a child who has no blood relationship with me. So, will you break the agreement you made with your parents for me?"
This question really stumped Xu Qingran, because he was serious when he proposed this condition to Lin Anyi, but he didn't expect Ye Yan to be so averse to children.
Suddenly I felt that everything I did was wrong. If I had known this would happen, I should not have returned to the company, just like I shouldn't have given in when I was 15.
He thought for a long time. Ye Yan didn't want to embarrass him, so she smiled and turned silently towards the door.
"When you feel embarrassed, it proves that I am no longer as important to you as before. You have other options, and you don't have to rely on me. Go back and be the heir to your group. Wait until you have truly defeated your parents' power before you come back to me. I don't like having someone interfere with my feelings when I'm in a relationship."
"Does it have to be like this? Do you care that much about their attitude?"
"Don't you care? Can you accept that every time you go home, they scold me in front of you with a sullen face?"
Ye Yan suddenly turned around and looked at him seriously and asked, which hit the nail on the head and made Xu Qingran stunned again.
What does that mean? That's not what he meant, but thinking about the scene, it does seem suffocating.
"I may not listen, but you can't separate from me, even if it's just temporarily. And you're the only one I recognize as Atim's spokesperson."
He still refused to give in, and his attitude was quite tough. He really wanted to keep Ye Yan by his side forever. He was also afraid that this was an excuse for Ye Yan to leave him, and he would never agree.
Ye Yan thought, "So I've said so much in vain. Then I won't say any more." She turned around and opened the door.
"I just remember that you once said you would give up the family business for me, but you broke your promise."
After saying this, Ye Yan left the room on her own without looking back at Xu Qingran's complex and suppressed eyes. She pretended to be calm and walked into the living room to introduce Ye Youcheng the gift Xu Qingran bought for him.
Ye Youcheng was unusually happy. Although he was still a little dissatisfied that his son's partner was a man, when he saw Ye Yan mentioning Xu Qingran so positively, he knew that Ye Yan must like this person very much, and as long as she liked him, that was good.
Xu Qingran left after lunch. Xiao Rui, who knew their inside story, was cautious throughout the whole process and didn't dare to say a word. Xu Qingran also didn't reveal anything in front of the elders, and the process of meeting the parents was completed successfully.
But both sides know that there will not be another one in the short term.
After everyone left, Xiao Rui pulled Ye Yan to the bar and asked with concern, "What's going on with you guys? When I was taking Mr. Xu to the elevator, his face was as stinky as hail. It was horrible."
Xiao Rui's description was not an exaggeration at all. Ye Yan found it hard to imagine that such an expression would appear on the face of his favorite cheerful boy.
"What else can I do? He can't possibly cut off ties with his family, but he doesn't want to listen to them. Caught between family and love, even if he insists on being with me, he won't be happy. He'll just feel tired. Once he's tired, I'll be unhappy too. It's boring just thinking about it..."
Ye Yan already regarded Xiao Rui as her own family, so there was nothing to hide in front of her.
He didn't want to break up with Xu Qingran, he was just forcing Xu Qingran to think clearly about what she really wanted, whether she wanted him, or wanted Lin Anyi and Xu Rong to regret it.
Judging from his current reaction, Ye Yan felt that he wanted to have both, but Ye Yan did not want to cooperate with him. He hated those messy things and he just wanted to have a heartless relationship.
Xiao Rui nodded and understood roughly, then she saw Ye Yan's lowered eyes filled with bitterness.
"It's not easy to date someone from a wealthy family. You don't want him to break up with his family, right? So you're willing to compromise and give him time to fight for the right to take charge of his own life and make his parents truly understand him. But unfortunately, he's too straight, so you'll have to wait."
Xiao Rui pointed to her head with disgust, implying that Xu Qingran was not thoughtful enough and might not be able to understand Ye Yan's hidden meaning.
Maybe that's the case, Ye Yan thought. He didn't know how to express that mentality to Xu Qingran. Now that Xiao Rui translated it, this is what he meant.
So she can understand it, Ye Yan thought, if this little girl who has never been in love can understand it, Xu Qingran should also understand what I mean.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, curled the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and poked Xiao Rui's forehead.
"My man is not as stupid as you. He will definitely figure it out and won't make me wait too long."
He was full of confidence and thought that if Xu Qingran could realize that his current way of doing things was wrong, he would forgive him again.
