Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Making the Best of a Mistake Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Making the Best of a Mistake “…”

Jing Yan didn’t expect that her heartfelt confession would end up eliciting such a response. Her face turned ugly in an instant.

But to Ning Yanan, it seemed like Jiang Jinchen couldn’t bear to see her hurt and was thus furiously protective.

There was a time when he had been just as angry to keep her from getting hurt…

The glimmer in Ning Yanan’s eyes dimmed bit by bit, a unspeakable bitterness spreading in her heart.

She didn’t look at the two men fighting anymore and turned to leave.

Mo Xiyan and Jiang Jinchen kept fighting until both collapsed on the ground. When they came to their senses, they realized that Ning Yanan was gone.

A shadow crossed Mo Xiyan’s eyes.

No matter how desperately he fought for her, Ning Yanan’s steps would not pause for him, not even for a moment.

It was just his own wishful thinking.

Jiang Jinchen’s handsome face was marred with wounds. The moment he realized Ning Yanan had disappeared, he staggered to his feet, glanced at Mo Xiyan, and turned to chase after her.

He was different from Mo Xiyan. Even if it meant death, he would drag Ning Yanan with him.

In this life, he was utterly smitten with this woman.

Jiang Jinchen didn’t even notice when Jing Yan left.

It was only after he found Ning Yanan’s apartment, realized she had returned home, but adamantly refused to open the door, that he finally left.

He found a pub and started drinking again.

“I really don’t know if it’s you or me who has a penchant for self-torture, actually following a lunatic in the middle of the night.”

Jing Yan stood in the corner, watching Jiang Jinchen adjust his collar and enter the pub again, grinding her teeth in frustration.

After hesitating for a long time, she followed him inside.

Inside the noisy pub, she chose a relatively quiet spot.

She watched Jiang Jinchen sit at the bar again, ordered a drink, and began to sip it leisurely.

Jing Yan never got another call from the waiter until he was drunk.

After a long wait, she couldn’t contain her impatience any longer and stepped outside.

She helped the drunk Jiang Jinchen up and walked out of the pub with him.

It was only when she reached into his pants pocket that she discovered his wallet and car keys were missing.

They must have been stolen while he was drinking, and he hadn’t even noticed.

Probably in his heart now, apart from Ning Yanan, nothing else mattered.

Even her saving him would only earn her a cold ‘get lost.’
Jing Yan suppressed the bitterness in her heart, supporting the considerably taller Jiang Jinchen. They stumbled to the curb, and she hailed a taxi, helping him into the vehicle.

She gave the hotel name.

Once in the presidential suite, Jing Yan quickly assisted him into his room.

She plopped him onto the bed and turned to go into the bathroom, returning with a hot towel in hand.

As she returned to the room, she carefully began to wipe his face.

“Hiss–”
Touching him, she heard Jiang Jinchen inhale sharply.

The wounds on his face must be hurting him, as the man slowly came to his senses.

“Yaya…”

The name he uttered had nothing to do with her.

Jing Yan’s eyes flickered, and as she prepared to get up, Jiang Jinchen suddenly grasped her wrist and gave it a hard pull.

Caught off guard, she fell onto him.

The man turned over, pinning her beneath him.

“Jiang Jinchen–”
Jing Yan instinctively tried to push him away, pressing her hands against his chest.

Jiang Jinchen caught both her hands and pinned them above her head.

He tilted his head and came close to her face.

The unnamed stirrings penetrated her body.

Reason told her she should push the man off her, knowing full well that Jiang Jinchen was drunk and mistaking her for Ning Yanan.

But her heart had fallen somewhere along the way. Jing Yan’s eyes shimmered, and in the end, she simply closed her eyes gently, acquiescing to the man’s actions…
