Chapter 59 -59: Are You Jealous?

“Linchuan, Dad’s not trying to make things difficult for you, but now I’m giving you three choices,” Xie Suian said, with not a trace of anger, even a hint of a mocking smile.

Xie Linchuan felt his heart “thump” at the bottom, suddenly having a very bad feeling, but Xie Linchuan had no choice; he could only ask, “What choices?”

“The first is that you break up with Ms. Liang completely clean, and I’ll find you a suitable match to marry as soon as possible,” Xie Suian said.

Xie Linchuan furrowed his brows tightly, obviously unwilling to choose this path, or else things wouldn’t have gotten to where they were now.

Xie Suian wasn’t surprised; he continued, “The second is that you can be with Ms. Liang.”

Xie Linchuan didn’t feel happy; instead, he waited for Xie Suian to continue.

Xie Suian didn’t beat around the bush and continued, “But you give up your inheritance rights to the Xie Family, starting today, leave the Xie Family, and I won’t go as far as to kick you out and disown you as my son, we haven’t reached that point yet.”

Xie Suian, while speaking, couldn’t help but let out a laugh, but he quickly got serious again and continued, “Just like your two younger brothers are now, you’ll take your annual dividends, and you can do whatever you want; I won’t interfere with you again.”

“As for the third…”

“You can be together, and you don’t have to leave the Xie Family; you’ll still be the heir to the Xie Family, but from today onward, Ms. Liang must quit the entertainment industry and stay at home peacefully as your wife.”

“These are the three choices, now clearly laid out in front of you; pick one,” he said.

Xie Linchuan didn’t speak because no matter which choice it was, it seemed difficult for him.

He loved Shiyu; he wanted to be with her, wanted to marry her.

But he had never thought that one day he would leave the Xie Family; weren’t his many years of effort meant to manage the Xie Family well?

And then there was Shiyu, whose dream was to be a superstar, to be in the spotlight, to be the center of attention; she wouldn’t give up her dreams either!

Xie Suian, looking at Xie Linchuan’s conflicted expression, knew what he was thinking at this moment.

He continued, “Linchuan, to gain something, you always have to lose something; it’s all about what’s most important to you.”

“Having your cake and eating it too is a privilege only for those in power who are capable; you don’t qualify yet.”

Xie Linchuan looked at his father; for the first time, he felt utterly denied by his own father!

Xie Linchuan’s eyes were a mix of confusion and fear; it seemed like something had changed at that moment, but he just didn’t understand what the problem was, exactly.

As Xie Linchuan was doubting his life choices, Xu Jinzhi went to find Xie Yanchuan after work that evening.

She first picked up Xie Yanchuan from University A, and then the two went to the supermarket together.

“You have no idea how hilarious Linchuan was…” Walking side by side, Xu Jinzhi recounted everything that had happened that day to Xie Yanchuan.

In the end, she couldn’t help but lament, “Now I’ve completely offended your big brother and your future sister-in-law.”

Afterward, Xu Jinzhi specifically looked at Xie Yanchuan, seemingly to gauge whether her actions had upset him.

Logically, it shouldn’t have, because Xie Yanchuan didn’t care at all, but Xu Jinzhi still wanted to see his reaction.

True to expectations, Xie Yanchuan just listened, his expression indifferent, showing no signs of upset.

“Do you want some bitter melon?” Xie Yanchuan asked Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi asked, “What do you plan on using it for?”

“Bitter melon stuffed with meat or to cook pork rib soup,” Xie Yanchuan replied. Recently, the weather had been too hot, and eating some bitter melon would help cool things down.

“We’ll eat the meat-stuffed bitter melon, but not the soup.”

“Then it’s settled on the meat-stuffed bitter melon,” Xie Yanchuan said as he casually tossed the bitter melon into the shopping cart and then turned to Xu Jinzhi, “Ms. Liang hasn’t married my brother yet, so she’s not quite my sister-in-law.”

At that, Xu Jinzhi suddenly laughed, leaving Xie Yanchuan somewhat baffled, not knowing what Xu Jinzhi found amusing.

Xu Jinzhi leaned closer to Xie Yanchuan. Before, Xie Yanchuan would have moved away, but now he had grown accustomed to it, standing still and allowing Xu Jinzhi to come closer, no matter how near she got.

“Do you believe Xie Linchuan will marry Liang Shiyu?” Xu Jinzhi eerily inquired.

It appeared as though Xie Yanchuan pondered for a moment, but he didn’t answer the question since he didn’t know either; he truly didn’t understand his own brother.

“I think he will!” Xu Jinzhi declared confidently.

Though there were some changes in this life, Xu Jinzhi felt they would still end up together.

“Why?” Xie Yanchuan asked.

“No reason, just based on my understanding of Xie Linchuan, I feel that they are bound to be together,” Xu Jinzhi couldn’t tell Xie Yanchuan it was because of their past lives, so she had to cover it up with her most mysterious sixth sense.

Xie Yanchuan fell silent for two seconds, “You understand Xie Linchuan well?”

Just as Xu Jinzhi was about to speak, she suddenly felt Xie Yanchuan’s question was a bit odd, and the expression he was giving her was also somewhat subtle. Xu Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, her expression growing equally enigmatic.

“What do you mean by that?” Xu Jinzhi asked.

Hearing Xu Jinzhi’s counter-question, Xie Yanchuan blinked, also feeling his question might have been ambiguous, and instinctively wanted to explain when he saw Xu Jinzhi smiling slyly, “You’re not jealous, are you?”

Xie Yanchuan was taken aback, suddenly feeling a tickling sensation in his heart, as if someone had guessed his inner thoughts.

However, Xie Yanchuan was also surprised, so when he had asked that question earlier, was he feeling jealous?

What had he been thinking at that time?

Was he wondering why Xu Jinzhi understood Xie Linchuan so well? Was it because they often came into contact and had a good relationship?

He also thought about the arranged marriage; originally, the person to be paired in marriage with Xu Jinzhi was supposed to be Xie Linchuan.

Thinking about it, he vaguely felt unhappy, which led him to ask that question subconsciously.

“Xie Yanchuan, tell me, is it jealousy?” Xu Jinzhi was relentless, inching closer to Xie Yanchuan, asking with a teasing smile.

Xie Yanchuan glanced at Xu Jinzhi and then silently shifted his gaze away, not answering Xu Jinzhi’s question. As for the answer, it had already become apparent.

Xu Jinzhi stood on tiptoe, and while Xie Yanchuan wasn’t paying attention, she planted a kiss on his cheek, “Xie Yanchuan, I only like you.”

She had liked Xie Yanchuan since their past lives, but back then, she had not been able to express her feelings, to let Xie Yanchuan know.

In fact, she had unknowingly fallen for him a while ago.

Had he ever felt any regret at that time?
