To his disappointment, Jiang Tian did not tell him everything about their past as he had imagined. Instead, she looked at him with a somewhat frightened gaze, as if he had touched upon some secret that should not have been touched.

Wei Su saw Jiang Tian's fear and naturally couldn't press her any further. He could only suppress his negative emotions and try to give Jiang Tian an indifferent smile: "Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, I don't want to force you. And don't push yourself too hard. In any case, you're just an ordinary person. Why put all the burdens on your shoulders? I hope you can live a more relaxed life."

Jiang Tian looked at him quietly for a long time before saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore, okay? Let's continue what we weren't doing earlier..."

Her voice held a rare hint of sadness.

Wei Su knew that her low spirits weren't because of him, but because of the man on the phone earlier.

Thinking of this, his eyes twisted in an instant.

In an instant, he returned to normal.

He took a deep breath and slowly hugged Jiang Tian: "There's no need for that. You're in a bad mood, why should I make you feel bad? Our relationship isn't that cold. I want to be there for you, not resist you. Go to sleep."

Wei Su gently patted her back, his gentle tone making him quite charming.

The problem is, the person who should have been most bewitched by him wasn't bewitched at all.

Jiang Tian looked at him with a suspicious gaze, as if she didn't understand why he was doing this.

The rare sense of defeat almost made Wei Su unable to laugh.

He knew that Jiang Tian was very wary of him, and he also knew that their time together was limited. He couldn't be too irritable, and he couldn't scare her away.

But every time Jiang Tian treated him defensively, he felt very uncomfortable.

He had done much better than her useless husband, yet their relationship was entirely orchestrated by him.

Wei Su is not one to give up easily, and he won't do anything to Jiang Tian before his interest fades.

If he hasn't figured out the right approach yet, and hasn't managed to get her to open up to him completely, then he'll keep trying.

He can't tell what his fascination with this woman is all about—is it a game or an experiment he's conducting?

He doesn't want to care about it anymore.

In short, he didn't want this woman to always be wary of him and keep him at arm's length.

Seeing the despair in Jiang Tian's eyes, Wei Su realized he wasn't so heartless after all; he truly had no desire to do that kind of thing anymore.

So, that night, they didn't continue what they had been doing before, but instead slowly embraced and slept quietly through the night.

Jiang Tian, ​​who was initially uneasy, gradually closed her eyes and obediently fell asleep in his arms.

Wei Su originally thought that he would be in a bad mood the next day because he hadn't done that kind of thing to Jiang Tian.

But he never expected that even just being with her, doing nothing, and simply resting for a while, would bring him peace and contentment.

He slept soundly until dawn; his sleep quality was exceptionally high.

When he woke up, he saw that Jiang Tian was already tidying up.

"...Are you leaving?"

Seeing Jiang Tian getting dressed, Wei Su even helped her adjust her sleeves.

Jiang Tian was startled, turned around, and hesitantly said to him, "Yes, we can't let him find out..."

The two of them knew better than anyone else who the "he" she was talking about was.

Their relationship was clandestine, so Jiang Tian would definitely have to leave beforehand.

We'd only spent a short time together, and now she was leaving.

Wei Su felt a deep sense of reluctance that he couldn't quite explain.

Could this woman have had such a profound influence on him?

He gets emotionally affected even when he sees her leave.

The thought that their future life together would be hindered by others made Wei Su's mood sour.

Seeing Jiang Tian putting on her shoes, he didn't hesitate to stretch out his arms and hug her.

Jiang Tian was so frightened that she didn't even dare to turn her head.

The delicate, innocent, pitiful, and adorable girl was now in his arms, looking completely lost.

Normally, Wei Su wouldn't even give someone like that a second glance.

But fate is truly wondrous.

"I think I'll head back now..."

After being held by him for a while, Jiang Tian still voiced her opinion.

Wei Su broke free from that attachment and expressed his thoughts: "I'll take you."

A tone of affirmation.

After saying that, Wei Su turned around and went to put on his coat.

Unfortunately, Jiang Tian didn't give him the chance. She shook her head in strong disapproval: "No need, there's no need to send it."

“If I say it’s necessary, then it’s necessary. Don’t think of yourself as worthless. Sending you back is basic courtesy as a man. I can’t just let you spend the night here and then make you take a taxi to leave on your own. What kind of person would I be?”

Wei Su's demeanor was very serious.

Seeing his persistence, Jiang Tian didn't say much this time and tacitly agreed to his idea.

In the car, Wei Su did not initiate a conversation with Jiang Tian.

To be honest, he was a little irritated.

He could have continued acting; perhaps after some time, the woman would have softened and become devoted to him.

The problem is that he felt that was pointless, just putting on an act in front of her. Did she like the real him or the fake him?

Jiang Tian is a slow-to-warm-up person; he doesn't necessarily have to keep pretending for an eternity.
