Xu Huaiyuan still couldn't bear to let go. Jiang Tong glanced at Zhou Yuansheng and saw that he had already come over, so she struggled even harder.

Finally freeing herself from Xu Huaiyuan's grasp, she jogged a few steps toward Zhou Yuansheng, who immediately pulled her into his arms, protecting her.

Zhou Yuansheng was in a bad mood. His sweetheart said she was going back to her hometown to visit her parents, but he ran into her with her ex-husband instead.

Although he believed in Jiang Tong.

But I also felt quite uneasy, a sour feeling in my heart.

A surge of jealousy welled up inside me.

I'm really annoyed.

Jiang Tong was also a little guilty because her unreliable parents had arranged a blind date for her. Meeting her ex-husband was somewhat awkward, not to mention that Xu Huaiyuan was being all over her. She was worried that he would mind.

Zhou Yuansheng let Jiang Tong get into the car first, protecting her head. He got in after she got in. Before leaving, he glanced back at Jiang Tong's distraught ex, feeling both pleased and annoyed. Although Jiang Tong had left with him, the thought of Xu Huaiyuan holding Jiang Tong's hand was still an eyesore.

The driver was very quick-witted; he immediately put the partition down for his boss.

Jiang Tong was still searching for her phone.

Zhou Yuansheng pulled her arm and put his other arm around her waist. With a little force, Jiang Tong sat on his lap.

Jiang Tong's heart suddenly raced. She looked ahead and found that the partition had been lowered to mute the sound at some point, which made her feel a little relieved. However, it was the first time she had ever sat on a man's lap in a car, and she was shocked and wanted to struggle.

What are you doing?

Jiang Tong felt guilty and tried to run away, but Zhou Yuansheng held her firmly on his lap.

She struggled for a couple of seconds and then dared not move.

Her face turned frighteningly red.

She glared at him, slightly annoyed, her eyes accusing him: "We're outside!!"

How can this person be so bold?

Zhou Yuansheng acted like a rogue and refused to let her go, insisting on sitting on his lap. Jiang Tong was not short, but he was even taller, and she looked petite and delicate on his lap.

The struggle was futile.

Jiang Tong simply gave up. Since there was no one around, she simply leaned against him and sat down, her back pressed against his chest, where the man's body temperature was burning hot.

It's very warm.

Let's also get down to business.

The car was very quiet.

Jiang Tong leaned on his shoulder, turned to look at him, and could only see his perfect jawline. She whispered, "Are you angry?"

Seeing that the conversation had gotten going, she decided to briefly explain the situation to him. At this age, they were no longer children and were both much more mature.

Jiang Tong also likes to speak her mind.

They dislike keeping things from their partners.

At first, she was just worried that her family affairs would cause trouble for Zhou Yuansheng, after all, she had such stubborn, unreasonable and domineering parents.

Jiang Tong thought she still had to tell him, "...That's how it happened. I really didn't know they would bring the guy they were going to meet home. Of course, it didn't work out, and we had a big fight. I went out for a walk to clear my head, but I ran into that guy again and he harassed me. Then Xu Huaiyuan came to my rescue, and you know what happened next."

A woman's voice is soft, clear, and carries a hint of coaxing.

Zhou Yuansheng reached out and grasped her wrist. Under the neon lights outside the car window, some scratch marks could still be seen on her slender, white wrist.

He rubbed it with his thumb.

"I'm not angry, it's just that you didn't introduce me to your parents? Am I not presentable enough, or have I failed to give you enough security?"

Zhou Yuansheng's tone was very calm.

to be honest.

Although Jiang Tong is much more mature in dealing with relationship issues now, she is now genuinely in her second relationship. Xu Huaiyuan's personality seems nice, but he is actually very fiery. Their conflicts are mostly resolved through arguments, but they get over them quickly.

Zhou Yuansheng, however, was the kind of person who remained calm and collected. He was more reserved, and Jiang Tong couldn't quite figure out what he meant. But she was still the kind of person who liked to be direct, so she frankly said, "I don't know, but my parents don't have good personalities. Maybe I don't want you to see my bad side? Or maybe there's still a gap between us, and I'm insecure, so I don't want to tell you? I'm afraid you'll look down on me if you find out?"

Jiang Tong herself was confused.

She leaned against his shoulder, feeling completely relaxed at that moment, though she didn't know his attitude or how he would handle the situation.

I always feel safe and secure when I'm with him.

Her voice was also languid.

Zhou Yuansheng looked down at her, "But I'm very willing to understand your family, the so-called bad side of you. Nobody's perfect, Jiang Tong, and I'm not perfect either. I think you still lack a bit of trust in me?"

Jiang Tong looked up at him, and finally nodded in agreement. "Maybe so, but I'll try my best to overcome it and try to trust you a little more."

His words seemed to inexplicably soothe the anxiety she felt.

He said he was very willing to understand her so-called imperfections; this man is so good at it.

Jiang Tong's mood inexplicably improved.

Zhou Yuansheng nodded and said matter-of-factly, "You should trust me."

He then lifted her chin and kissed her.

Jiang Tong reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's neck, unusually taking the initiative to reciprocate his advances.

It was gentle at first.

But as they continued kissing, Zhou Yuansheng's eyes became aggressive, and his kisses became somewhat fierce, revealing his considerable displeasure.

Jiang Tong tried to comfort him with a kiss, but he retaliated even more fiercely, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed.

Finally, with her eyes glazed, she leaned on his shoulder to catch her breath. Seeing that he still wanted to kiss her, she reached out and blocked his chest. "No, let's talk about it when we get back."
