The big star has a prince syndrome

Chapter 149 Hidden Obsession

When Ye Yan told him the reason why he was angry, Xu Qingran was even confused for two seconds and didn't know what he was talking about.

After a brief thought, he remembered that this seemed to be what he had said when he was negotiating with his mother the night before.

But how could Ye Yan know? He looked visibly flustered.

"What are you talking about? Have you heard some rumors again?"

Xu Qingran didn't expect that Lin Anyi would do this to him behind his back, but he seemed to care more about Ye Yan's distrust of him than his own mother's sneak attack, although he did say words that would hurt Ye Yan.

But why did he believe it without asking me? That slap just now convicted him without any hesitation.

Seeing that he didn't admit it but his eyes weren't so firm, Ye Yan felt like the sky was falling at that moment.

He stared into Xu Qingran's eyes and decided to give him another chance before he was disappointed.

"Your mother came to me. Didn't you really say those words? I'll give you a chance to explain..."

It was indeed all thanks to his mother. Although Xu Qingran had zero trust in Lin Anyi, she went to Ye Yan to sow discord right after he had agreed with her. He still underestimated the methods of the wife of the chairman of the ATIM Group. She was so cruel that it was as if she was not his biological daughter.

Xu Qingran lowered his head and let out a long breath, then looked up at Ye Yan's sad and angry eyes with a slightly disappointed tone.

"Do you believe everything she says? It's not like you don't know that she doesn't agree with us being together. Didn't I tell you long ago that if she wants to persuade you to break up, just agree on the surface. If she gives you money, just take it. It won't affect our continued relationship."

He was still in denial, not only denying but even blaming himself for not trusting him.

Ye Yan's heart suddenly ached. The pain in his chest caused by the steering wheel two hours ago was like a needle prick, disrupting his breathing.

He didn't understand what Xu Qingran wanted to do and what she thought of him.

"Do you know why I believe what your mother said?"

Ye Yan asked calmly. He seemed calm, but the disappointment and brokenness in his eyes were clearly visible to Xu Qingran.

Xu Qingran was a little panicked, but he still pretended to be calm and used a wry smile to hide his uneasiness.

"Why? It's not because I lied to you about Bai Wenwen before, and you still..."

“She recorded it.”

Ye Yan interrupted Xu Qingran's lies with a cold face. With just four simple words, she cut off all of Xu Qingran's escape routes.

Looking at Xu Qingran's surprised eyes, Ye Yan took out his mobile phone and opened the recording sent to him by Lin Anyi, and turned up the volume to the maximum with red eyes.

His nonsense echoed throughout the living room, like a silencing skill that ended all of Xu Qingran's excuses.

Looking at the guilt and helplessness on his face after his lies were exposed, Ye Yan knew that Lin Anyi had not lied and everything was true.

"Do you have anything else to explain?"

Ye Yan's voice was so cold that it made people tremble. Only the tears in her eyes were still warm, but she was trying hard not to let them fall.

He should have turned around and left because he was unwilling to give up his love and wanted to hear what Xu Qingran would say to save the situation.

Xu Qingran didn't expect that Lin Anyi would do such a thing when talking to him. His biological mother was indeed too comprehensive and caught him off guard.

He suppressed his anger at being plotted against by his own mother, stepped forward and held Ye Yan's shoulders, and a harmless smile bloomed in front of Ye Yan again.

"I said it. That was a delaying tactic, designed to trick power into my own hands. Once I take over the group, everything will be mine. By then, I'll have the power over the group's life and death. Only when I become a strong person will they dare not interfere with my freedom of life."

"As for the child, I only said that I wanted them to have grandchildren, but I didn't say that I would get married. As long as I have money, giving them a child wouldn't be easy, right? So I lied to my mother. To me, you are more important than the ATIM Group. Yan, you can't question my love for you..."

Ridiculous. This was the only word Ye Yan could think of after listening to Xu Qingran's explanation. It was exactly the same logic as when he agreed to Bai Wenwen's suggestion.

Her shoulders were pinched by him so hard that it felt like being pressed down by a huge rock and was unbearable. Ye Yan broke free from his shackles and tried her best to remain calm and not let her collapse overflow.

"Why do you have to wait for me to produce evidence before you admit it? If I hadn't heard you say these words with my own ears, would you have kept your plan secret? You were still lying to me right before I produced the recording. How can I believe that what you said to your mother wasn't your true words..."

Ye Yan didn't understand. If it was really like what Xu Qingran said, all to trick his parents into handing the company over to him, then why didn't she discuss it with him in advance? Instead, she kept it from him like last time and had to wait until he went crazy and collapsed before she was willing to tell him the truth.

He believed that what Xu Qingran said was true, and he also believed in Xu Qingran's love for him, but the way Xu Qingran lied just now still made him heartbroken and disappointed.

He wanted to teach Xu Qingran a lesson, to see his expression when he found out that the person he loved deeply didn't trust him, and to see if he would stop hiding such important things from him in the future.

Ye Yan thought so. After all, it was not the first time. She had clearly promised not to lie to him again but she became even worse, not considering at all whether it would hurt him after the truth was revealed.

He had endured enough and vowed that this time he would pretend not to forgive her.

He thought that when Xu Qingran heard him say that he didn't believe him, he would immediately apologize and hug him to explain, and then assure him that the words in the recording were absolutely false.

At least that's how Xu Qingran was from what he knew.

However, this time Xu Qingran's reaction unexpectedly did not match what he had imagined.

"Are you questioning me?" Xu Qingran's eyes suddenly darkened, and his eyes were filled with morbid charm and horror, which made Ye Yan's heart tighten suddenly.

"You think I'm toying with your feelings? Why do you think so? I'm always the one who apologizes first. I'd do anything for you. I'd take care of Zhu Cheng, Wu Qiong, and your stepfather for you. I'd risk everything to join forces with the underworld just to avenge you. I went against my parents just to be with you. I even tricked the company into my own hands, threatening my parents with the life and death of the entire ATIM Group to get us together. I'd personally destroy three generations of the Xu family's hard work just for you. And now, just because I lied to you, you're questioning my sincerity. I'm already exhausted. Can you please be understanding? What the hell are you doing?!"

Bang! Under the sudden impact of Xu Qingran's resentment, the mobile phone in Ye Yan's hand suddenly fell to the ground. She trembled and retreated silently under the pull of fear and disappointment.

After noticing Ye Yan's actions, Xu Qingran quickly raised his hand and grabbed his arm, pulling him back like a heavy pair of pliers, making it impossible for him to break free.

Ye Yan couldn't believe that this was the person he liked, and in anger he slapped Xu Qingran in the face again.

"Just because you love me, you want me to cooperate with your ridiculous plans? You turned against your parents and gambled the future of the entire Xu family. If you say it was all for me and love, do you believe it? You are so determined to be with me. Do you dare to say that besides liking me, it's not because of the obsession you accumulated when they tore your dreams apart?"

"You're seeking revenge on Xu Qingran because you're unwilling to accept it. I understand you because I feel bad for the regrets you had when you were young. But not only are you taking your regrets out on me, you're also thinking I'm being too much because I don't understand your deception. You're such a fucking bastard! Let go!"

"I won't let go! What makes you say I did all this to spite my parents? You still don't believe in my feelings for you! I love you, can you please just cooperate with me for once..."

It seemed that Ye Yan had seen through his thoughts, which he himself had not even noticed. Xu Qingran refused to admit it and suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"I've done so much for you, can't you just put in some effort for me too? Look, your depression is gone. Let's just stage a breakup scene to deal with my parents first. Once I take control of the company, I'll go abroad and give them a child, and then everything will be settled. If you mind, let's have two, one for you and one for me. That's fair to everyone, isn't it?"

Xu Qingran gently stroked Ye Yan's hair and patiently persuaded him to agree with his choice.

He avoided certain topics, but they could not escape Ye Yan's eyes.

Is this really Xu Qingran? It seems like he is getting further and further away from the person he first fell in love with. At this moment, Ye Yan felt hopeless.

"So you didn't consider my feelings and used me to resist your parents' control over you because my depression has healed, so it doesn't matter if I feel a little uncomfortable. You can carry out your plans without any worries. But unfortunately, you want to take revenge on your parents but let me take the blame. I won't serve you..."
