Chapter 322
If Xu Xinduo wanted to compose music, he could also spend money on marketing. By creating a fake trend, he could very well support her and boost her popularity.
However, Xu Xinduo was asked to go to a small subsidiary department of the company. There, he watched Xu Xinduo suffer by herself— the team was not professional enough and the resources were mediocre. Yin Hua couldn’t stand it anymore either, so she crossed a line to contact Xu Xinduo to help her with connecting resources.
Xu Xinduo could accept that connection match-up because it was going to still be her efforts that mattered in the end.
But Tong Yan knew that she wouldn’t agree with him investing so much into a career that was not guaranteed to bloom. Despite the efforts he wanted to contribute, he knew that she would have rejected them all.
Which was what made him so angry.
He had already thought about it— one year. He would wait a year. And once that one year contract was over, if Xu Xinduo still liked being in this industry, he was going to make his move.
Now that Xu Xinduo came back drunk and semi-conscious, Tong Yan became even more angry.
He should have been insistently stubborn to arrange everything for her. Even if she didn’t want him to spend money, he wouldn’t care; as long as Xu Xinduo didn’t have to work so hard, he was willing to do anything.
Had he helped from the start, the one-year forbidden love contract wouldn’t have existed either.
He was angry.
Absolutely, devastatingly angry.
But amidst that anger, he also couldn’t bear to watch her suffer.
No, he will take Xu Xinduo to terminate the contract now and pay the liquidated damages!
However, Xu Xinduo didn’t take off her fur-lined padded jacket. She walked to Tong Yan and hugged his waist, looking at him aggrievedly, “You’re glaring at me…”
Tong Yan watched Xu Xinduo swallow a mouthful of saliva subconsciously as her Adam’s apple slid up and down conspicuously.
With just a simple sentence, all his previous anger was gone. He instantly eased his tone as he supported her and said, “No, I just can’t bear to see you like this.”
Xu Xinduo raised her hand and looked as if she was measuring it in front of Tong Yan. Her thumb and index finger opened a gap before whispering, “I just took a sip, but I’m too incompetent. It was just a small sip! Say, do you think I am allergic to alcohol?”
“Alcohol allergy isn’t one of your symptoms, is it?”
Xu Xinduo snapped her fingers and buried her face in Tong Yan’s arms, “I’m so lost.”
Tong Yan asked softly, “What are you lost about?”
“My tolerance for alcohol is way too low. Is there something wrong with my body? Am I just super useless?”
When Tong Yan heard this, he felt that his heart was about to melt.
She was originally such a strong girl, but with her suddenly leaning so softly in his arms and acting like a spoiled child, he put everything down in an instant.
He wanted to comfort Xu Xinduo, but he noticed that the servants in the villa were deliberately avoiding him, so he coughed lightly and said, “You all can go back to the small building to rest.”
Tong Yan’s house was constructed off a circular design. Opposite to the room where Tong Yan lives, there was a small building where the kitchen was located. It was also where the servants lived.
The servants left one after another, leaving only Tong Yan and Xu Xinduo in the main villa.
Tong Yan helped Xu Xinduo take off her jacket, fearing that she would be hot indoors. He wanted to hang her clothes, but Xu Xinduo didn’t let go of him when she hugged him.
Tong Yan had no choice but to ask her as gently as possible, “Let’s go hand in hand first, shall we?”
