"Stop talking..." Jiang Xianyu's face turned pale.

Jiang Tian's expression was cold: "So, Young Master Jiang, I really don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I can't look you in the eye anymore. I used to like you so much, but my feelings were worthless..."

Finally, Jiang Tian's voice trailed off.

She didn't know if she was talking to herself or to the person next to her.

Her tears fell drop by drop, until finally her face was covered in sobs.

For Jiang Tian, ​​speaking these truths came from being driven to the brink of desperation.

Jiang Xianyu, however, keenly sensed a glimmer of hope in it, and he clenched his fist.

He looked at Jiang Tian with feigned composure: "If you really let go, if you have no feelings for me at all, you wouldn't be crying like this, and you wouldn't be so agitated—you clearly haven't let go yet!"

Jiang Tian seemed to have been struck by something, and her body froze.

A feeling of intense pain and joy welled up within Jiang Xianyu, and he finally uttered his conclusion—

"You still like me."

The air suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Jiang Tian slowly smiled.

She looked at Jiang Xianyu with an indescribable gaze: "I don't know how you came to this conclusion. In your eyes, am I an unfaithful person? Now that I'm with Su Yuyao, I definitely won't like anyone else. If I were that kind of person, you wouldn't respect me. Stop lying to yourself."

Jiang Xianyu's face gradually turned pale; he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Tian said to him in a very sincere tone, "There has been no hope between us for a long time. I don't know where I rank in your heart, but at least I know that Su Yuyao will rank me very high."

“He is a person who dares to love and hate, and I am willing to have this relationship with him. He just wants to have a relationship with me, and after the relationship is over, we can go back to our own lives.”

"You can consider his actions as a trial by fire, so I won't stay in your lives for long. Once he truly sees through the essence of love and understands what love really is, I will leave your sight and stop wasting your time. So, Young Master Jiang, can you please respect me? Don't hurt me with force, don't let the noble and refined young man in my heart become unrecognizable, okay?"

Jiang Xianyu's gaze sharpened.

However, Jiang Xianyu seemed to have found a breakthrough, and his eyes slowly brightened.

He said in a sleepwalking tone, "...You mean, your relationship with Su Yuyao has a time limit?"

Jiang Tian nodded frankly: "Yes, my relationship with Young Master Su was completely accidental. In fact, he respects my wishes. He just wanted to experience the taste of love and not have any regrets before he gets married. I was just his guinea pig."

“I have a clear understanding of my own position, so you don’t need to worry that I will affect your lives in the future, nor do you need to be afraid that I will always be in your sight. Our relationship is currently in the honeymoon phase and seems to be going very well, but relationships always have their low points. Once it has completely cooled down, we can return to our own roles in life.”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Tian added, "I won't think about climbing the social ladder, and I won't cause any unnecessary trouble. Su Yuyao has been very good to me, and I will appreciate his kindness. I just want you to stop interfering with my life. Let all the mistakes end here, Young Master Jiang. You clearly have a better life."

Jiang Xianyu seemed not to hear Jiang Tian's words of advice at all.

He still looked intently at Jiang Tian: "Do you have any specific rules regarding the duration of your relationship?"

Jiang Tian didn't understand why Jiang Xianyu would ask that, but she still shook her head truthfully: "No, we will end it when Young Master Su's feelings cool down, so there is no need to set a time limit. He is not a very patient person, so it may not be long."

Jiang Xianyu seemed to be lost in thought.

After a long pause, he nodded in agreement: "You're right. Su Yuyao is a very casual person when it comes to love. He's always only interested for three minutes. For him, if a girlfriend disappears, he can just find another one. He won't let himself get too caught up in a relationship that's impossible."

Jiang Tian lowered her head, trying to hide her sadness: "...Yes, what you said is all correct."

“Then you should realize that being with him might cause you harm,” Jiang Xianyu continued.

Jiang Tian looked at Jiang Xianyu with a strange gaze. After a long while, she smiled softly and said, "Young Master Jiang, don't you understand? I've already suffered enough. I think my mental resilience is still quite strong..."

She didn't say who had hurt her, but Jiang Xianyu understood everything in that instant.

Jiang Xianyu pursed his lips, not continuing the discussion, and slowly asked, "So what do you plan to do after the breakup?"

“You might call me mercenary, but I actually gained a lot from my relationship with Su Yuyao, including shares in the coffee shop. The dividends from these shares are enough for me to take over another coffee shop. Then I can open my own small coffee shop and make a living from it.”

Jiang Tian truthfully stated her plans.

Su Yuyao looked at her intently: "Open a small coffee shop? Don't you have any other ideas? After experiencing the luxury and atmosphere of high society, can you go back to a normal life?"

Jiang smiled again and asked Jiang Xianyu, "Young Master Jiang, we've known each other for quite some time now, ever since you went to the shop to buy coffee. I'd like to ask you a question, can you answer it?"

Jiang Xianyu's gaze unconsciously became focused: "What's the problem?"

"I want to ask you, have you noticed any changes in me? Not in my clothes, but in my spirit—I've been dating Young Master Su for quite some time now, can you see any changes in me?"

Jiang Xianyu carefully examined Jiang Tian; she had a gentle demeanor and captivating features.

She remains the ideal woman in many people's dreams.

She remained completely untouched by the stench of money.

After a long silence, he finally said honestly, "No, I don't see any change in you. You haven't changed..."

It's not hard to admit this.

Jiang Tian has indeed not changed. She is still the same person in his memory. If she had changed, he probably wouldn't be so obsessed with her and unable to let go.

“Then you should understand what I’m trying to say,” Jiang Tian reminded him.

Jiang Xianyu understood.
