Chapter 342 - 320: But He Has Nothing
The plane landed the next evening, and as soon as An’an got off, she received a call from Rong Yushen: "An’an, where are you?""Just got off the plane."
"What they’re saying online... is it true?"
An’an lowered her eyes, no longer in the mood to joke with him, and gave an ambiguous answer: "Maybe." Then, she hung up the phone.
Yin Xiaojing said, "The news conference has just started. The reporters should all be there now. Let’s go back and pack some stuff. You definitely won’t be able to stay where you are for the time being."
An’an was silent for a moment and said, "Sister Xiao Jing... I want to go home."
Yin Xiaojing listened and nodded approvingly: "Alright, but the journalists back home won’t be any fewer than here. It’s best not to go out once you get back."
"I know."
"Then book a flight for tonight. Leave while the reporters’ attention is not on you."
An’an lowered her eyes and nodded, and finally asked anxiously, "He won’t be in trouble, will he?"
Yin Xiaojing was silent for a long while and said, "He’s probably just worried about you right now. You take care of yourself first, and we’ll handle things here."
Since her debut, she had never caused a big scene, let alone a scandal.
This time, she chose to escape, to brush aside the chaotic external voices and calm her heart, wanting to understand what she truly wanted.
Before the news conference ended, she went back, packed a few things, and boarded a plane back home. Thanks to him, she was able to leave quietly.
She didn’t follow the progress of the news conference because, for her, those things didn’t matter. What mattered was understanding her heart first, then deciding how to proceed.
Sitting on the plane, she thought a lot but worried more about him. She left everything behind, leaving all the troubles for him to face, and the burdens he carried were far greater than she had imagined.
He didn’t know who his father was, and when she met him, his mother had already passed away, and he was only eleven or twelve years old. But he never showed his vulnerable side to anyone; towards her, he was always caring.
When she was tired and weary, she could still go home, but he had nothing, and he never spoke to her about his feelings. If it weren’t for Xu Leya, she might never have sensed that affection.
No wonder he always opposed her finding a boyfriend, no wonder he often got inexplicably angry, no wonder he always gave her everything he could...
...
After the news conference, Su Yan finally managed to break free from the crowd. Sitting on the sofa in the hotel room, he lit a cigarette. Yin Xiaojing poured him a cup of tea and handed it over, saying lightly: "This was your decision. No matter what, you have to see it through."
Su Yan took a deep drag of his cigarette and asked, "What about her?"
"She’s already back home. She’s very safe."
Hearing this, he felt much more at ease but still didn’t know how to handle the upcoming matters.
Yin Xiaojing’s phone rang for what seemed like the umpteenth time, and she reluctantly answered it: "Alright, alright, I’ll be right there."
Su Yan apologized, "Sorry for the trouble."
She smiled indifferently: "It’s alright. My husband has been asking me to quit my job and stay home with the kids for a long time, but I’ve been unwilling to leave you and An’an. If you both leave, I might just submit my resignation too."
"The situation outside must be chaotic now. Stay here and don’t go anywhere. If anything happens, call Old Chen from my place and have him come over. I likely won’t be able to show my face for a while, and if they don’t find you, they’ll definitely come after me and not let go."
