Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Yan Xuxu had no interest in listening to Xie Lanyuan's answer.

He left the manor without looking back.

They arrived in Jie Lanyuan's car, but Yan Xuxu didn't have a car to drive, so she had to take a taxi back.

But this is halfway up the mountain, and taxis are unwilling to come up, so she has to walk down the mountain.

At this moment, Yan Xuxu felt a little regretful. She should have driven herself here earlier, and she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

She resigned herself to her fate and started walking down the mountain, when she heard a horn behind her and a black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up beside her.

Mu Nan rolled down the car window. "Miss Yan, Mr. Xie wants you to get in the car and wait for him."

Yan Xuxu was somewhat surprised.

She hadn't really thought much of Jie Lanyuan's offer to give her a ride, but she was surprised that he remembered.

However, he is currently busy spending time with Miss Lin and will probably not be able to get away for a while.

She still needs to go back to the research institute; she doesn't have much time to waste.

So she refused without hesitation, saying, "I'll call a car, no need to bother."

"The car can't get up."

This is General Xie's territory; strangers are not allowed to enter.

Even without these restrictions, no car would be willing to go up the mountain.

Before Yan Xuxu could speak, Mu Nan reminded her again, "It will take more than an hour to walk after getting off the bus. Miss Yan doesn't need to suffer that."

Yan Xuxu choked for a moment, but then smiled and said, "It's okay, just think of it as a walk."

After saying that, she walked past the luxury car and went down the mountain on her own.

Mu Nan followed and continued to persuade, "Miss Yan, it's inconvenient for you to wear high heels, please get in the car."

Let alone more than an hour, even wearing high heels to go down the mountain, I can't stand it for more than ten minutes.

Yan Xuxu simply didn't want to wait for Xie Lanyuan and ignored him completely.

But just as she continued walking forward, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a warm, large hand.

She turned around abruptly, meeting Xie Lanyuan's deep eyes.

"Get in the car."

His tone left no room for argument as he pulled her toward the car.

Mu Nan cooperated readily, quickly got out of the car, opened the door, and was shoved into the back seat.

"untie……"

She was about to yell at him when the man quickly came up from the other side.

The overwhelming scent of cedarwood wafted over her, enveloping her completely, and the words she was about to say turned into sarcastic remarks.

"His fiancée is still here, wouldn't it be inappropriate for Mr. Xie to abandon her?"

Jie Lanyuan took off his suit jacket, casually draped his long arm over the car window, and glanced at the car. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"What?"

Yan Xuxu was completely baffled by him.

Jie Lanyuan glanced at the time again, his tone casual, "There's a nice new Western restaurant that just opened near the company, let's go with this one."

Yan Xuxu realized what was happening.

Is he inviting her to dinner?

I'm truly flattered!

She didn't appreciate the offer and refused decisively, "Please just take me back to the Xie family's gate, Mr. Xie. There's no need for a meal."

Xie Lanyuan ignored her advice and told Mu Nan to go directly to the restaurant.

Yan Xuxu knew perfectly well what was going on.

His sudden enthusiasm was probably because she had agreed to accompany Jie Siyu today.

But it's really unnecessary!

Her compromise wasn't because of him!

It was just out of pity for a child!

Before I could even say anything in response to her refusal, Ms. Lin called.

Yan Xuxu chuckled and offered a friendly reminder: "President Xie, you should go and spend time with your fiancée. Don't waste your time on unimportant people."

The phone screen was blindingly bright.

Xie Lanyuan glanced at her, but ultimately swiped his phone and answered the call.

I don't know what the person on the other end said.

Jie Lanyuan said gently, "I'm a little busy and can't get away. I'll arrange for the manor to send you back at an opportune time."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He turned to look at Yan Xuxu with a probing gaze, "It seems Miss Yan overheard quite a bit last night."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Jie, everything you said is true, and I won't take it to heart."

Yan Xuxu showed no sign of guilt at being seen through, and calmly met his gaze.

The man scoffed, "You think you can just use that to talk back to me if you don't care? Do you even believe that yourself?"

Yan Xuxu didn't really know what was wrong.

When I heard him say those words, I felt a thorn stuck in my heart, a heavy feeling of unease.

So much so that I couldn't help but blurt it out just now.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Even Mu Nan felt this pressure and consciously helped to raise the partition inside the car to separate the back seat from the driver's seat.

The enclosed space suddenly felt cramped and tense.

Yan Xuxu could clearly hear her heart pounding, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"Sisi likes you. From now on, when you report to us, come directly to the resort."

The official and impartial approach leaves no room for compromise.

Yan Xuxu did not accept this arrangement, saying, "Miss Lin is your fiancée, and it is most appropriate for her to accompany the child."

"She can't take care of children."

With a casual remark, Miss Lin's status was clearly established.

He's so considerate; he's already spoiling her rotten even before they're married.

Yan Xuxu felt a sudden tightness in her chest, but her attitude remained firm: "I am a doctor, not your family's nanny."

"Taking care of patients is also within the scope of a doctor's work." Xie Lanyuan said with a serious expression, as if he were simply stating a fact.

Yan Xuxu laughed in exasperation, "Why didn't you just say I should move the research institute to your manor!"

"If you're willing, I can too."

He spoke casually.

"I'm sorry! I don't want to! Please let me off at the front."

Yan Xuxu leaned towards the car door.

It turns out that his kind invitation to dinner wasn't out of gratitude, but rather for ulterior motives.

She was definitely feeling sorry for Xie Siyu.

But that's no reason to let him have his way!

Jie Lanyuan tapped the armrest lightly with his long, slender fingers. "Are you sure you can't get a taxi here?"

I said I was getting off.

Yan Xuxu's tone became a bit more serious.

Jie Lanyuan took out a cigarette case from the hidden compartment, knocked out a cigarette, and lit it.

His tone became even colder, "Since you have so much backbone, then you'll have to suffer!"

"Mu Nan, stop the car!"

Mu Nan could feel the smoke and fire of battle raging in the back seat from the front.

He cautiously raised the partition. "Mr. Xie, it looks like it's going to rain. If we park now, Miss Yan might..."

"Whose man are you?" Xie Lanyuan interrupted sharply.

Mu Nan was startled and could only stop the car on the spot.

Yan Xuxu didn't linger for a moment. She opened the car door and got out without looking back.

The door was slammed shut.

You can imagine how furious she was.

Xie Lanyuan took a drag of his cigarette, a cold smile escaping his lips.

Soon, the car sped past Yan Xuxu.

The weather on the mountain is unpredictable.

Yan Xuxu hadn't taken more than a few steps when a sudden downpour began.

She held her bag over her head and ran to a tree to take shelter from the rain.

When she took out her phone to call Lin Huan, she realized that her phone was low on battery.

The phone was switched off before I could even finish speaking after dialing the number.

Yan Xuxu felt somewhat desperate.

She didn't bring an umbrella, and even though she was sheltering under the tree, raindrops trickled down through the gaps in the leaves and splashed onto her.

Within seconds, her hair was wet and stuck to her face.

The clothes on her body were also stained with water streaks.

The air on the mountain was unusually cool.

The temperature drops several degrees as soon as it rains.

She was dressed in thin clothes, and the cold was biting. Even though she hugged her chest to keep warm, she couldn't ward off the chill.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed it wouldn't stop anytime soon, so Yan Xuxu had no choice but to rush into the sea of ​​rain and continue down the mountain.

But she was wearing high heels, the mountain path was slippery, and the rain blurred her vision, so she couldn't walk fast at all.

Yan Xuxu had no choice but to take off her shoes, carry them in her hands, and walk down the mountain on the cold, rough cement road.

Even in her disheveled state, she still kept her back straight.

She didn't know how long she had been walking when she vaguely heard the sound of a car engine, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes, which had been washed by water.
