My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 844 844: Proving One's Resolve with Death

Chen Xuan said softly, "I have no objections. As long as you're willing, I'll send you my blessings."

"If you're unwilling, no one can force you."

"But I think marrying Zhu Feng is not a bad choice. After all, you two were once a couple."

Zhang Yan suddenly appeared sad, "Brother Chen Xuan, when I got together with Zhu Feng, to be honest, it was because of family influence."

"At that time, the Zhang Family was just a third-tier family, and our development was stagnant. We needed to find a way to change our situation. Being with Zhu Feng meant connecting with the Zhu Family."

"So, do you understand what I mean? I was with Zhu Feng then not because of love but because of driven interests."

Chen Xuan sighed softly, "Zhang Yan, since you call me brother, I accept you as my sister."

"After all, we grew up as childhood sweethearts and even had an arranged marriage when we were kids. If it weren't for later changes, we might have been married."

Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, Zhang Yan immediately took over, "Brother Chen Xuan, that's exactly what I wanted to say!"

"I was previously influenced by family and only wanted to climb the social ladder and marry into a wealthy family. But after interacting with you, whether you believe it or not, I've truly fallen in love with you."

"It has nothing to do with your status or powerful connections; I just purely like you! It's only now that I truly understand what real love is!"

"Brother Chen Xuan, please give me a chance! Based on our past relationship, I believe Lin Wanxi wouldn't say much against it."

"She's accepted that you're with her best friend, so why can't she accept me?"

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "Zhang Yan, those things belong to the past."

"Between us... can only be said to have fate but not destiny. Besides, my relationship with Yang Leshan isn't something that can be easily explained."

"I don't dare to claim I'm a good man and don't have the right to say that, but I'm not a womanizer."

At this point, Chen Xuan sighed softly, "Besides Wanxi and Yang Leshan, there are two other girls I've been involved with."

"And there are three other girls with whom I'm ambiguously involved. Each relationship is not as simple as you think."

"I've shared many untold stories with them, even some life-and-death experiences! These are things you can't compare with them."

Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly, her face full of grievance, "Brother Chen Xuan, I truly regret it now. If I hadn't been so willful and had treated you better when you returned, perhaps the outcome would have been different."

Chen Xuan sighed lightly. If what Zhang Yan said was true, the result would indeed be uncertain.

After all, the childhood arranged marriage was decided by the parents of both families. It wasn't easy for him to break the promise.

He just didn't expect the Zhang Family to dismiss it first, giving him a way out.

"Zhang Yan, let's not dwell on the past."

"I'll repeat what I just said. If you don't like Zhu Feng now and don't want to marry him, no one can force you."

"As long as you find someone you truly like, I will sincerely bless you."

Chen Xuan said softly.

"But I can't let you go! I'm becoming more certain that I'm truly in love with you!"

Zhang Yan suddenly threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly.

Chen Xuan's expression was strange, "Zhang Yan, don't do this. It's inappropriate if people see."

He hurriedly and gently pushed her away, "You're being a little impulsive now. Your love for me still has a connection with substantial benefits."

"You've confused the concept; you still love more of the power and status I can bring rather than me as a person!"

Zhang Yan seemed stimulated; tears streamed from her eyes, "You still refuse to believe my sincerity, still suspect I have ulterior motives."

"If that's the case, I'll only prove my feelings for you through my death!"

After speaking, she suddenly ran towards the artificial lake, leaping into it.

Chen Xuan's eyes widened; he never expected Zhang Yan to be so crazy.

Without thinking further, the priority was to save her.

Chen Xuan immediately dove in and jumped into the artificial lake, holding Zhang Yan tightly to stop her from sinking…
