But he knew that if he spoke out, there would be no result.

Jiang Tian was no longer just his friend; she was also Duan Muqing's girlfriend.

The last time they met, they were so close; he should have known that their distance was destined to grow further and further apart.

Zhou Yuncheng had just finished a long day of work and casually opened his WeChat Moments, only to see the news that Jiang Tian was getting engaged.

His phone slipped from his control and fell to the ground.

When he picked it up again, he stared at the guarantee document over and over, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

He knew very well that Duan Muqing wasn't deliberately targeting him; he was just making a promise to Jiang Tian. However, some of the sentences still stung him.

"I will be devoted to you and will not leave you or betray you for other women."

"They will take your joys and sorrows to heart, instead of ignoring your sadness and disappointment."

"We will always pay attention to your health, care about your thoughts, and give you the smallest bit of care."

………………

Zhou Yuncheng failed to do any of them.

He had grown accustomed to Jiang Tian's thoughtfulness but had never thought of reciprocating.

He doesn't even know what Jiang Tian truly likes now.

Holding his phone, Zhou Yuncheng's veins bulged.

He could no longer control himself.

If this doesn't stop Jiang Tian and Duan Muqing from getting engaged, then their marriage is practically a done deal.

The thought that Jiang Tian would one day become someone else's bride suddenly filled Zhou Yuncheng with intense resentment.

Doesn't she like him?

Then why be with other people?

Zhou Yuncheng staggered as he opened the door. He was going to find Jiang Tian and ask her why she had abandoned him when he wasn't with Tao Xinrou.

At the same time, Duan Muqing opened the car door for Jiang Tian.

"I'm wearing something thicker today, it's a bit cold."

Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Then keep one of my jackets in the car. I can change into it when I get cold."

Duan Muqing thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so she readily agreed: "Okay, and remember the time tomorrow."

The two of them are going to have a photoshoot tomorrow to use for their engagement.

Although Duan Muqing's mother said she would handle the matter, he still hoped that he would personally arrange the entire process from their engagement to their wedding.

His marriage, his wife—that's something he's responsible for, of course.

Jiang Tian quickly agreed to his suggestion.

"I should visit your parents next time."

Duan Muqing said meaningfully.

Jiang Tian smiled at him: "You can't let them see you without a gift."

Duan Muqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely bring enough gifts next time. Your parents will be very happy with me."

The two looked at each other and laughed for a while before Duan Muqing reluctantly said, "...Then I'll be going?"

"Be careful on the road."

Duan Muqing was a little unhappy: "Why didn't you try to stop me at all?"

Jiang Tian feigned surprise: "Is the young master throwing a tantrum again?"

Duan Muqing was speechless this time. He stepped forward, wanting to kiss Jiang Tian, ​​but then felt embarrassed.

The closest contact the two have ever had is a hug.

But he thought it was fine.

Some things might be better left for after marriage, which is more suitable for Jiang Tian.

So he didn't make any unreasonable demands, waved goodbye to Jiang Tian, ​​and drove back.

His car had just left when Zhou Yuncheng's car arrived.

Zhou Yuncheng seemed to be in a very strange mood, and he had a kind of crazy energy about him.

Jiang Tian saw him get out of the car and asked with some confusion, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Yuncheng stared at her and asked immediately, "Are you getting engaged to Duan Muqing?"

“Yes, invitations will be sent out, and I will invite you,” Jiang Tian said with a smile.

Her smile was faint, but Zhou Yuncheng always felt relaxed whenever he saw it.

However, this time, he couldn't relax at all.

His eyes were somewhat deep: "Are you sure it's Duan Muqing? He might not even be as good as me."

Jiang Tian was startled by his words, and her tone was filled with confusion: "Yuncheng, have you been drinking?"

The mere mention of alcohol brought back memories of his birthday banquet that day.

If he hadn't drunk so much, Duan Muqing wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation.

"No, I'm perfectly lucid right now, Jiang Tian. I came here to ask you, didn't you like me before? Why did you suddenly get together with Duan Muqing? We've been together for several years, but you've only been with Duan Muqing for a few months, and you're getting engaged to him. Don't you think it's too fast?"

As Zhou Yuncheng spoke, he noticed that Jiang Tian's behavior was not quite right.

When he recalled what he had just said, Zhou Yuncheng's face paled.

"Jiang Tian, ​​listen to me..."

"Zhou Yuncheng, do you know I like you?"

Her tone was very soft, but to Zhou Yuncheng it sounded like a thunderclap.

His throat suddenly went dry, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"You knew I liked you, yet you took my care of you for granted, only to meet a girl you liked later and then make me leave..."

"Zhou Yuncheng, am I just a tool to you?"

Zhou Yuncheng noticed that Jiang Tian's expression was very strange.

"I just... I don't know how to reveal it. I really enjoy being friends with you, but... I'm not comfortable being lovers, so I want to hold off..."

Zhou Yuncheng was almost incoherent.
