Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

"Isn't this what you like? Of course I have to put in some effort." She reached out and grabbed Xie Yu'an's hand, explaining why she knew the restaurant's menu.

only......

"Xie Yu'an, you don't need to choose chili peppers you don't like just to please me. You have your own preferences." An Cinian didn't like Xie Yu'an doing this; she didn't deserve it.

Xie Yu'an shook his head, "But, but I just like you, I like everything about you."

He was willing to try things he didn't like before for An Cinian, because he felt that anything that could make An Cinian happy was worthwhile.

An Cinian sighed, stood up, and took his hand. The man in front of her was very stubborn.

“Ayu, you’re wrong. This isn’t love. You’ve said it before: a person’s first choice is themselves, and only then the person they love. You are independent, with your own thoughts and hobbies. Loving someone isn’t about changing them or catering to them. It’s about choosing to be together for life, even if we have different hobbies. You like light flavors, and I like spicy food. We can each order our own and eat them interchangeably.”

Xie Yu'an's thinking is wrong; people are not born to please others.

The man in front of him didn't speak, his head was down, and his left hand was still twisting the hem of his clothes. He was not like the usual prince, but rather like a child who had made a mistake, helpless and confused, waiting for the adults to punish him.

An Cinian sighed helplessly again, cupped his helpless face, kissed his lips, and comforted him warmly: "Husband~ You have to love yourself before you love me. I know you love me and want to do this for me, and I am very happy, so you don't need to blame yourself or feel that you did something wrong. Xie Yu'an, I will never be disappointed in you."

Hearing the last sentence, Xie Yu'an's eyes, still wet with tears, sparkled. He suddenly hugged An Cinian tightly, saying, "I understand. Thank you for the compliment, my wife."

Bai Yiting had found where Lan Mingqing lived. As soon as they entered the villa, the two began to talk.

"Mr. Lan, I beg you to save my husband and daughter."

Lan Mingqing leaned on a cane. If it weren't for the fact that they had something on him, he wouldn't even want to see them. Now they dared to come and beg him. Did he want to offend the prince of the Beijing circle for the sake of a mere Anping?

That's ridiculous! What right does he have?

Seeing Lan Mingqing remain silent, Bai Yiting couldn't sit still any longer.

"Mr. Lan, you should know that we are in the same boat. Our two families have just announced the engagement. If something happens to Anping and it gets out, don't you care about your reputation?"

"Face? What face do you mean by so much? You're clearly trying to make me offend Xie Yu'an. I won't lie to you, Qi Yan is already at odds with us, and the group is in a mess. Now you want me to provoke the Crown Prince. Do you think I've had enough of living and want to be buried in the ground?"

Lan Mingqing slammed his scepter hard, furious. The company was already giving him a headache, and if Anping hadn't suddenly threatened him with past events, how could he have agreed to a marriage with the An family, a family of humble origins!

Now that those two people have been taken away by the police in the banquet hall, he has completely lost face!

Bai Yiting knew this person would say that, so she took out the prepared recorder and played an audio clip.

Lan Mingqing's expression changed drastically with anger.

"Mr. Lan, I have more than just this audio recording; I also have witnesses. If you don't help me rescue them, we'll fight to the death. Then it won't just be Qi Yan, but also the one you fear most..."

"Enough!" Lan Mingqing could no longer bear it and didn't want to hear the other person continue. He stood up, leaning on his cane, and said firmly, "I can help you resolve this, but the marriage is off. From now on, we owe each other nothing. Otherwise, you know what I, Lan Mingqing, am capable of." After saying that, his gaze turned cold, as if warning the other person.

"it is good!"

Bai Yiting accepted the deal without hesitation. Her immediate priority was to rescue Anping and the others; she would deal with other matters later.

As Bai Yiting turned and left, Lan Mingqing and his secretary remained behind.

Lan Mingqing was burning with rage. He had lived for decades, weathered many storms, and used every means at his disposal, but he never expected to be threatened by a woman today. It was utterly ridiculous.

He angrily walked over, picked up the ashtray from the coffee table, and smashed it on the floor. With a crisp cracking sound, the ashtray shattered into pieces on the floor, as he vented his anger and dissatisfaction.

Anping, you've decided to come out, that's great!

"What do you want?" Xie Yu'an arrived at the police station and sat outside through a window, picking up the phone and looking at An Wenxin.

She hadn't seen Xie Yu'an for several days and missed him terribly.

At that moment, she excitedly picked up the phone: "Yu An, I miss you so much."

"Get to the point, I'm busy." Xie Yu'an looked at the vicious woman coldly. Did she think he would believe her nonsense?

No matter what she said, this man acted superior and didn't care about her at all. How ruthless and decisive! Did he not even have the friendship of a friend?

She didn't want to understand; she was stubborn and unreasonable, but even more so, she was unwilling to accept it.

“An Wenxin, I’ve been telling you from the beginning that you mean nothing to me. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re Nian Nian’s sister, I would never have had anything to do with you… Nian Nian is so good, but you are so vicious. Am I supposed to repeat all the crimes you’ve committed one by one?”

Xie Yu'an slammed his large hand on the table, his expression filled with hatred. He was getting a little agitated, but you can't blame him. Thinking about how An Cinian had been bullied by them for so many years, he wanted nothing more than to kill them.

“An Wenxin, why do you think I came to see you? If it weren’t for Niannian asking me to come, I would never have come.”

This woman called him early in the morning. An Cinian asked him to come, saying that An Wenxin had liked him for so many years and had always taken good care of him, so he should give her face.

What face? Bah! He was practically swearing! Meeting this person once was enough to complete his mission.

He slammed the phone down with a loud bang, stood up, turned and left, completely ignoring An Wenxin who was still screaming and crying behind him.

If it weren't for falling in love with you, my wonderful life wouldn't be what it is now. But even you coming to see me is something An Cinian has to beg for.

Xie Yu'an, I love you, but I hate you even more!

If you hadn't been so good to me back then, I would never have fallen in love with you.

Thinking back to when she was a child, when she first arrived at the An family home, she was unfamiliar with the place and went out to play with An Cinian. She tripped and fell, and Xie Yu'an ran over to comfort her, gave her lemon candy, and even helped her teach the boy who was mocking her a lesson.

She glanced up and saw the thin, small boy standing up for her, and she was captivated, completely in love. From then on, no one else could catch her eye.

Sitting on the stool, covering her face, she burst into tears, crying, "Xie Yu'an, oh Xie Yu'an, why did you help me back then?"

And it was only much, much later that I learned the answer—it was because of An Cinian!

An Cinian was at home with An Chuanlin at this time.

"Grandpa, have you been resting well these past few days?"
