Chapter 30: Yin Yan’s Plea

    “Hey, did you hear? Yin Yan announced that he has someone he’s seeing, and it’s someone outside the industry.”

    “Yeah, oh my god! I’m so jealous. Did his partner save the earth in their past life? To be able to get Yin Yan’s affection. Yin Yan is so brave to announce his relationship during his career’s rise.”

    ……

    Shen Xingyang heard the two girls chatting beside him. They thought their voices were very soft, but every word entered his ears with utmost clarity.

    A man walked over with some documents, and the two quickly stopped talking and continued with their work.

    “President Shen, I’ve found it, sorry to keep you waiting.”

    Hearing this, the two girls were shocked and quickly stood up in a fluster.

    “President Shen.”

    Shen Xingyang looked at the two girls, somewhat displeased, but after thinking about it, he decided not to fire them.

    “If there’s anything, talk about it after work. Don’t let it happen again.”

    Shen Xingyang said, taking the documents and returning to his office.

    The supervisor looked at the two girls who were still in shock: “Hurry up and work, don’t just stand there.”

    Everyone knew that Shen Xingyang hated people doing things unrelated to work during working hours. He always meant what he said and would fire people without hesitation.

    The previous head of the Human Resources Department was fired directly after Shen Xingyang discovered him chatting with his girlfriend during work.

    But they were just ordinary employees and rarely saw Shen Xingyang. They only heard about Shen Xingyang’s great deeds every day, but had never actually met him.

    Plus, they were chatting happily just now and didn’t notice a stranger standing next to them at all.

    Shen Xingyang returned to his office and continued to work on his own things, not bothering to verify what those people said.

    His phone made a sound, Shen Xingyang thought it was something work-related, but found that it was a message from Song Yichen. He didn’t even open it, and just put the phone back down.

    Recently, he didn’t know what was wrong with Song Yichen, who kept sending him many messages, but every sentence was almost the same.

    They were all asking about his daily life and there was nothing important, so Shen Xingyang only replied to the messages after work.

    It wasn’t until everyone had left that Shen Xingyang finished his work, stretched, and prepared to leave.

    Only then did he remember what the two girls said, he knew how much Yin Yan cared about his career, he wondered who it was that made him willing to go public at this time.

    In his previous life, it was him who delayed Yin Yan, allowing Yin Yan to waste time on him. Now that he was separated from him, he had truly found someone he liked.

    Thinking about this, Shen Xingyang clicked on Weibo to see if what he heard was true.

    “Already has someone he likes, someone outside the industry.”

    Shen Xingyang smiled. He didn’t expect it to be true. It was good the way things were now, with no debts to each other.

    He hoped that now that Yin Yan had someone he liked, he wouldn’t think about coveting the Shen family anymore. If there hadn’t been those things in his past life, and Yin Yan had been well-behaved, he wouldn’t have minded letting Yin Yan live a good life.

    Shen Xingyang put down his phone and prepared to get in the car, but then he heard a familiar voice.

    “A-Yang.”

    Shen Xingyang frowned and turned to look at the person behind him. It was Yin Yan. Why was he here?

    “Xiao Qi, wait for me for a few minutes.”

    Shen Xingyang said, closed the car door, and walked towards Yin Yan.

    “Yin Yan, haven’t you had enough pain? What are you doing here?”

    Shen Xingyang thought that after the last incident, Yin Yan would be wary of him, but he didn’t expect him to dare to come.

    The moment Yin Yan saw him, his eyes turned red. Although this time, Yin Yan was dressed very neatly, like the national god he used to be.

    But even so, he couldn’t hide the fatigue in his eyes and the haggard look on his face.

    “A-Yang, I turned down all the scripts afterwards, I want to… stay with you in Mu City, can you give me another chance? I can prove that I’m different from before.”

    Yin Yan looked at Shen Xingyang with a pleading expression, very humble. The wounds had been aching for a long time, and he had been recovering for a long time. Those people were ruthless, the cuts were very deep, and his injuries hadn’t healed yet.

    But he knew that if he really chose to let go because of this pain, then he would really lose Shen Xingyang.

    Only then did Shen Xingyang understand Yin Yan’s Weibo post. It turned out he was talking about him, but there were no more ripples in his heart.

    “Yin Yan, I thought I had made myself very clear to you.”

    Yin Yan looked at Shen Xingyang sadly. He had never felt Shen Xingyang’s coldness before. The former Shen Xingyang was incredibly gentle in front of him, but now it was different, full of alienation and coldness.

    “A-Yang, I know I shouldn’t have lied to you in the beginning, I shouldn’t have let you mistakenly believe that your feelings for me were love when you didn’t know anything. But I was only twenty years old at the time, and I only wanted you, I didn’t think about anything else, I was really wrong, I will change, I will change all the things you don’t like.”

    Shen Xingyang felt a little helpless, he walked up to Yin Yan.

    “Yin Yan, you can’t change. This is the kind of person you are. Let’s both leave each other some dignity.”

    Shen Xingyang looked into Yin Yan’s eyes, his gaze extremely cold, but he also knew that he couldn’t blame the Yin Yan of this life for what the Yin Yan of his previous life had done.

    So he couldn’t possibly attack him just because Yin Yan came to him.

    Shen Xingyang finished speaking, looked at Yin Yan who was looking sad, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

    Yin Yan hugged him from behind. Shen Xingyang hadn’t reacted yet when he heard Yin Yan say.

    “Shen Xingyang, it’s not fair to me for you to treat me like this. When I was a child, I didn’t want to take care of you, I wanted freedom, you pestered me and wouldn’t let me go. Later, I didn’t want freedom anymore, I only wanted you, but now you don’t want me anymore, is that fair to me?”

    Yin Yan said these words, full of unwillingness. He really couldn’t understand. He had spent a lot of time sorting out his past with Shen Xingyang. Was it just because he deceived Shen Xingyang and misled Shen Xingyang?

    So now Shen Xingyang wanted to erase all their past?

    Yes, Shen Xingyang didn’t like him, he always tried his best to kiss Shen Xingyang and didn’t let Shen Xingyang resist. Knowing that he was afraid of heights, he still forced him to get on the Ferris wheel.

    But all of this was because Shen Xingyang was cold and calculating towards him first, that’s why he did it.

    Although he used to force Shen Xingyang to do things he didn’t want to do, it was all for Shen Xingyang’s health.

    Shen Xingyang didn’t speak, he just felt very tired.

    But it was impossible for him to tell Yin Yan that the reason he was plotting against him was because he would seize Shen’s in the future, would kill Shen Jinjue, and imprison him, right?

    If he said these things, Yin Yan would probably just think he was crazy.

    He didn’t ask for Yin Yan’s understanding either. From the moment he came back, it was destined that he had to walk this road alone, and no one would understand him.

    But looking at it now, it seemed that he had been too much for Yin Yan. Yin Yan had protected him for twenty years, but he had plotted against him and broken up with him.

    But who would know that the person who had protected him for twenty years would kill his brother and seize Shen’s.

    “Yes, you accompanied me for more than twenty years, so I also said that I will try my best to satisfy whatever you want to do, but there is absolutely no possibility between you and me.”

    “I only want you.”

    Shen Xingyang felt that he couldn’t reason with Yin Yan, and he was too lazy to talk anymore. He pried open Yin Yan’s hand, turned around, and got into the car.
