Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
Jiang Tian remained silent for a very long time.
Clearly, Jiang Xianyu's candidness shocked not only himself.
Jiang Tian was the most shocked.
She could never have imagined that the noble young master who used to look down on her would suddenly say such things to her.
"It's like a miracle, I can't believe it's real..." Jiang Tian said what was on her mind.
Jiang Xianyu's expression suddenly changed.
Is that what you think?
"Yes."
Jiang Tian looked at him and continued, "Are human feelings really that important? Am I that attractive to you? Are you sure there will be a good outcome between us?"
“I can’t predict the future; everything is unknown, which is why we must keep moving forward. I just hope you can give me a chance, which isn’t difficult for you.”
Jiang Tian gave a bitter smile, her smile carrying a hint of sarcasm.
After a long while, she took a deep breath: "Young Master Jiang, of course I will agree. If I don't agree, I won't even have the chance to leave this place. You upper-class people have connections everywhere, I can't compare... I'm just an ordinary person."
Jiang Tian's pessimistic and negative tone made Jiang Xianyu's expression very bleak.
But he did not back down because of this, and did not even feel any ill will towards Jiang Tian.
He had indeed pushed her too hard.
They clearly didn't need to go this far, but he kept making one mistake after another.
There is no room for regret in the past; those were choices made based on his past values.
Therefore, he couldn't argue his way out of it.
Just as he had Jiang Tian brought here, wasn't he also making a plan that no one else knew about?
His mindset is already fixed.
"Promise me, and I'll give you a satisfactory result. Once I start pursuing you, I'll show you my sincerity." Jiang Xianyu's tone was very serious.
Since he said he was pursuing her, he had only reserved the next spot, but his words implied that the two of them were bound to fall in love.
It's possible that the option of failure simply doesn't exist in his mind—that's terrifying.
Jiang Xianyu, however, felt that he had already given enough.
Jiang Tian looked at him.
"...Okay, I'll give you a chance after I break up with Su Yuyao. So, can I leave now?"
The resistance in Jiang Tian's eyes caused Jiang Xianyu a pang of pain in his heart.
But he remained optimistic, believing that once their relationship improved, Jiang Tian would no longer treat him this way.
It's all his fault.
"Are you still going to pick out a suit for Su Yuyao?"
"Yes."
Jiang Xianyu subconsciously wanted Jiang Tian to help him pick out an item, but he also knew that he couldn't interfere with Jiang Tian's life at this moment.
Otherwise, Jiang Tian's impression of him will only get worse.
So he slowly pressed a button, and the room unlocked automatically.
After the door opened, Jiang Tian didn't stop, and didn't even look back at Jiang Xianyu before walking out.
The two people seemed like complete strangers.
Jiang Xianyu stared at his back.
Jiang Tian still picked out dresses for Su Yuyao and herself as planned.
When she returned, several hours had passed, and Su Yuyao had just arrived home.
He was busy until very late today.
Originally, she planned to stay at the company, but then she felt a little embarrassed thinking that Jiang Tian was alone at home.
He should be with her as her lover, but work takes up most of his time, so he comes back as soon as he has free time.
The villa was brightly lit. Su Yuyao hadn't told Jiang Tian that he was back, but he didn't expect that Jiang Tian was still waiting for him.
Seeing familiar faces, Su Yuyao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to hug Jiang Tian.
They were a couple, how could they not have any physical contact? But Su Yuyao didn't dare to cross that line, so there was none.
But now, his desire to hold her is growing stronger.
He looked at Jiang Tian, who was smiling gently at him, and his tone became even softer: "Were you waiting for me at home?"
"Yes, I don't know why, but I had a feeling that you would come back today, so I didn't sleep, and sure enough, I waited for you."
There wasn't a trace of gloom in Jiang Tian's smile.
Su Yuyao's heart melted.
He walked over and silently sat down next to Jiang Tian.
How was your day? Did you have a good time?
Jiang Tian smiled at him, and Su Yuyao's gaze sharpened.
Because he sensed a certain unspoken helplessness in Jiang Tian's smile.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to pick out a dress? Who upset you? Did someone bully you? Or do they look down on you? Tell me their names."
Su Yuyao asked a series of questions.
Jiang Tian looked at him with a gentle yet somewhat sad gaze.
"No, go change your clothes. I wanted to cook for you, but my cooking skills are really not good enough. However, I've asked the chef to prepare it, and I'll heat it up for you later so we can eat together."
Su Yuyao's gaze was cold and deep.
He stared at Jiang Tian: "So you're hiding something from me? What exactly happened? Did someone bully you? Someone definitely bullied you. I knew those people would never change their ways; they'll never know who they're messing with. Tell me their names, and I'll go and teach them a lesson one by one right now."
Even though he was exhausted from coming back from the company, Su Yuyao still instinctively wanted to stand up for his girlfriend.
Because he knew very well that Jiang Tian never caused trouble, so it could only be someone else who provoked her.
He absolutely could not let Jiang Tian suffer even the slightest bit of bullying.
"No one is bullying me. You're really overthinking it."
Jiang Tian's eyes held a hint of helplessness.
"Are you still covering for that person? Has he threatened you in any way? Tell me."
Su Yuyao's tone grew increasingly harsh, clearly indicating that he was now in a tense and angry state.
Jiang Tian finally sighed helplessly and looked at Su Yuyao: "Actually, I met Jiang Xianyu today."
Su Yuyao seemed to have been choked by someone.
Su Yuyao was certainly familiar with the name "Jiang Xianyu"; they had even held a meeting at the company today.
"...What happened to him? Did he bully you? Or did he provoke you again?"
Jiang Tian looked at him earnestly: "I am your girlfriend, so I will tell you everything about the people I have met and the kinds of conversations I have had with them."
"But telling you this doesn't mean I want you to retaliate or anything. Because when the other person said those things to me, they didn't realize that I would actually tell you the truth."
"Are you willing to listen to what I have to say and then refrain from taking any retaliatory measures?"
Jiang Tian spoke very gently, but Su Yuyao could already hear a different meaning in her words.
His face darkened completely: "...I'll listen to you and won't seek revenge on anyone else. So, what exactly did Jiang Xianyu say to you?"
