"Come here when I tell you to."

Jiang Tian seemed to be getting impatient.

Xie Linchuan sensed Jiang Tian's impatience and had no choice but to slowly walk over.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Tian rubbed his face: "You're only in your early twenties, you have a long life ahead of you, why do you have to cling to me? You were the one who broke up with me last time, and now you're acting like you've just been dumped. What are you thinking?"

Xie Linchuan chose to tell the truth: "I don't want to be a substitute for your first love, nor do I want to leave you. Originally, I wanted to start my own business, reach a high position, and then come back to pursue you. But I found that you are moving faster than anyone else. If I want to chase after you, I don't know when I will be able to stand in front of you and say hello to you in an equal tone."

"So I took the shortcut and joined your company... It was all my own arrangement. You must have investigated me, right? I'm pretty much a loner now. For me, nothing in this world can hold me back. Only you."

Xie Linchuan looked at Jiang Tian, ​​his eyes glistening with tears.

"The two of us... I don't want to say anything more, but anyway, if possible, could you let me stay by your side as an employee?"

He was content to be just an employee; he didn't want to advance any further. Jiang Tian had never given him any hope.

He should be more mature by now.

He had no right to make demands of her.

Love requires two people to nurture it.

He was just an ordinary man with no special qualities. He couldn't attract Jiang Tian or win her affection, so he should accept his fate.

"What if I marry someone else in the future?"

Xie Linchuan's hand trembled slightly.

Jiang Tian's words struck a nerve.

Of course he was afraid that Jiang Tian would be with someone else.

If they get together, then he has no reason to exist.

However, he still gave a wry smile and said, "If it's someone you like, then be with him. I have no right to object to you."

What relationship do the two of them have now? They were just a man and a woman who had a chaotic night together.

Since Jiang Tian didn't say she wanted to date him, they were completely unrelated.

He has no right to interfere with Jiang Tian.

No matter what she said, Xie Linchuan could only nod.

"You are very generous."

"I don't want to be petty either."

A dark emotion seemed to flash across Xie Linchuan's eyes.

He couldn't help but grab Jiang Tian's hand, staring into her eyes: "I thought about locking you up, finding a place where we could live alone; I also thought about having someone erase your memory, making you think I was your partner; I even thought about taking you abroad, so you could never come back, trapping you for the rest of your life... I thought of many disgusting and despicable plans..."

“But you didn’t do it,” Jiang Tian said calmly.

Even though Xie Linchuan's tone was somewhat frightening just now, she seemed calm and composed, showing no signs of being intimidated.

Xie Linchuan nodded: "Yes..."

His tears finally fell.

“I thought about it a lot, and there were even many plans that were highly feasible, with a success rate of up to 90%, but I didn’t implement any of them. Because I know—you are you. I love you as a whole. I can’t let you live a life where you can’t live like a normal person for my own selfish desires.”

If Jiang Tian doesn't love him, and if Xie Linchuan insists on having her, then one of them will ultimately lose, and the other will have to bow down.

If Jiang Tian lowered her head, then she wouldn't be Jiang Tian anymore.

She will definitely have the most important part of her soul taken away by Xie Linchuan.

How could Xie Linchuan do that?

He loved her whole.

He wanted to see her in her most spirited and confident state.

This woman gave him spiritual salvation, allowing him to understand love and realize that life is not all darkness—he could not possibly hurt her.

Whoever falls in love first loses.

How could he possibly hurt her?

As they were talking, Xie Linchuan unconsciously knelt down in front of Jiang Tian and rested his head on her lap.

He seemed to be seeking a corner to rest in, a place where he could feel extremely safe and calm his emotions.

Jiang Tian placed her hand on his head and stroked it several times.

Finally, she spoke: "Are you still willing to be with me?"

It was like a pardon from heaven.

Xie Linchuan thought he had misheard.

He looked up: "...You said you wanted to be with me?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid of your plans at all, because I know you won't do them. I'm used to being in control of everything, whether it's my first love or those younger boyfriends. I need to control everything about them before I can date them with peace of mind. I've been observing you, and I always felt that you couldn't be controlled."

"But today, you're willing to show me your dark side, so it seems you've successfully accepted yourself completely. Since you know the whole you won't hurt me at all, I'm willing to give it a try. In short, compared to my other boyfriends, I still have the highest affection for you. If you feel it's not too difficult to stay by my side and be my boyfriend, we can try again. If you feel it's too difficult…"

Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, Xie Linchuan suddenly cupped her head in his hands and kissed her passionately, drowning out her words in their shared breath.

"How could I not want to? Why are you making assumptions? You know perfectly well that you are the reason I live."

Xie Linchuan didn't know if living for another person was a kind of obsession or a psychological disorder, but he didn't want to get treatment for it.

This is fine too.

Jiang Tian laughed heartily and said to him, "When I was in a relationship before, were you extremely upset?"

Xie Linchuan didn't want to talk about this.

But Jiang Tian asked.

He nodded: "Yes."

"Alright then, I have thought about getting back together with you, but I'm not sure if you're still in a dangerous mental state. I was also tempted by you yesterday... You've become even more outstanding than before these days."

"I've already said what I wanted to say: if you're willing to be with me, then let's give it a try. But as you know, I have quite a few flaws. I can't be a perfect lover. If you feel we're not compatible, you should get out of here as soon as possible."

Xie Linchuan didn't want to speak; his overwhelming joy prevented him from uttering a single word.

He couldn't resist again and tackled her to the ground...

So what if I'm late for work? It doesn't matter.

The news of Xie Linchuan and Jiang Tian's relationship was not initially spread, but a gossipmonger accidentally stumbled upon it.

One day at noon, while everyone else was out for lunch, Xie Linchuan quietly went up to the CEO's office on the top floor. When he took the CEO out for lunch, no one knew what the two of them were talking about, but Xie Linchuan, thinking no one was around, pressed Jiang Tian against the wall and kissed her passionately.

...That was so exciting!

That person sent the picture directly to the company's chat group.

Okay, now everyone knows.
