Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 739: [Yan Jian Extra] 23. Cold-blooded man, how can you do this! _4

Yan Yu inexplicably suddenly brought cream puffs to the studio, and boldly confronted Little Ben in person; and that day after work, Yan Yu coincidentally drove to the school gate to pick her up, quietly asking about the poster...

Yan Jian couldn’t stop a series of shivers.

Turns out, Yan Yu was the one most secretive in the Tang Family! Even she herself was deceived!

The atmosphere was almost perfectly set, and if Tang Yanqing were handling the case, the clues were already enough to create a profile at this moment.

Shi Nian gazed at Yan Jian, slowly guiding her: "I’ve found almost all the background information you need. The rest is up to you. Yan Jian, there is nothing impossible in this world, but the results vary widely depending upon one’s mindset."

One thought of good and evil, the gentleman could never come back; yet she hoped his younger brother still had the chance to turn back.

The key to this matter also lay in one thought of Yan Jian.

Shi Nian turned to leave while gazing at the bright star in the night sky under the eaves, silently saying to herself: Sir, I believe you would hope for this too.

With regards to George and James, it was clear that the gentleman was much kinder to James. Maybe the gentleman also felt remorse for this child. So she thought, to fulfill the gentleman’s wish.

.

After consolidating the information provided by Shi Nian and deliberating for several days, Yan Jian finally gathered the courage to call James.

She thought, at least she could tell James about what Mark had done to Shi Nian and the confrontations between Mark and Lin Qi during her brother’s investigations.

During the Kangchuan University incident, James was still in France; she worried he was unaware of these things. She hoped he could gain vigilance from this.

Moreover, she could also tell him about Little Ben’s appearance in the studio, and that night at the hospital after the car accident... Maybe it would give him another angle to assess the people around him.

She pondered over many things, organizing her words back and forth several times to achieve a calm demeanor before calling.

Ultimately, she didn’t want him to know she cared.

But she miscalculated, as she barely began to speak when he coldly retorted, "Tang Yanjian, enough. Lin Qi and his son are my partners, Little Ben is my brother who I depend on. You speak ill of them to me, are you trying to sow discord, getting me to suspect them, thus putting me in a tight spot?"

Yan Jian was taken aback.

How could he think like that?

He sneered into the phone, "Tang Yanjian, I know you hate me. You’re the granddaughter of the Tang family; I know you’ll definitely find a way to retaliate against me. You won’t let it go; you won’t really accept that agreement and bow down... Just like how you took the chance to plant a listening device in my office, now you’re going to place a time bomb beside me!"

"Enough, I won’t believe your words, but it does make me understand your heart better!"

"I know what you want, you want to end the contract between us, don’t you? Fine, I’ll agree to it. The condition is: you absolutely can’t speak these words to anyone else, including your brother."

.

Yan Jian held her phone, somewhat in disbelief.

What did she just hear?

He said, the contract between them can end?

To protect Little Ben, he can let her go?

She wanted to laugh, trying hard to curl her lips.

Finally, she was free. She should be happy, she should laugh out loud, shouldn’t she? But why at this moment both her lips and heart felt heavy, unable to muster a curve to laugh?

He was so weird, really so weird. He clearly cared so much about that contract, but then how could he so easily say he didn’t want it anymore?

She took a deep breath, trying to conceal her sadness, "Are you serious?"

James coldly snorted, "Of course I’m serious. Or did you think I couldn’t bear to? Tang Yanjian, you take yourself too seriously."

She closed her eyes, inhaling deeply, "I just feel it’s so strange. All of this happening... so suddenly, suddenly leaving me bewildered."

That night... That night was the most subtle between her and him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

She even... bloomed for him.

Even though it didn’t go all the way, the intimacy that night differed little from going all the way, didn’t it?

But after such a night, he said he didn’t want it anymore.

He sneered on the other end, "Happened suddenly? How amusing. You find it sudden because you are so self-centered... How could you forget Catherine? She is my girlfriend, a legitimate one. And you, are just something I fancied on a whim. Compared to her, you’re really not important at all."

"She had a car accident, and you took away the studio from her. I cannot stand by any longer. I want to get engaged to her and give her everything I can. And you, to me, have completely lost your charm. I’m tired of playing, it’s the end."
