"I'm sorry, I know, but I had to do it." Cheng Xiuyuan had no intention of repenting.

Jiang Tian casually pulled her hair back and said in a flat tone, "I believe Duan Muqing is not that kind of person. He wouldn't go back to another woman after dating me."

“Your belief is useless. I grew up with my cousin, and I know his personality best. You will regret it later. You have no idea what my cousin did for Shen Qingshu back then. You only know that he is single-minded now, but he is just indulging in a moment of novelty.”

Cheng Xiuyuan looked at Jiang Tian: "Genuine affection is the key factor in entering a relationship."

Jiang Tian: "I've heard everything you said. Is there anything else?"

Cheng Xiuyuan looked puzzled.

Jiang Tian continued, "Stop pretending to be a relationship expert here. I'll let you off the hook since you're still young. Go back now."

This time, Cheng Xiuyuan understood that Jiang Tian hadn't taken his words to heart.

He frowned: "Don't you believe what I'm saying?"

“It’s not that I don’t believe him; after all, I’ve seen plenty of unfaithful men growing up. But Duan Muqing and I haven’t broken up, and we haven’t encountered any of the situations you described. Why shouldn’t I try to believe him?”

Jiang Tian looked him over with an ambiguous expression: "I have genuinely met him, while you are just a random person who suddenly appeared and blocked my way."

I won't tell Duan Muqing about our conversation. Just pretend it never happened. Be good. You're twenty years old now, not a child anymore.

Cheng Xiuyuan is no longer a child.

But in front of a woman who wasn't much older than him, he discovered that Jiang Tian believed he was just an unreasonable child.

“You didn’t take what I said to heart.” Cheng Xiuyuan said it as a statement.

"Yes, so what?"

After speaking to him, Jiang Tian even nodded politely, ignoring Cheng Xiuyuan's attempts to stop her, and walked past him slowly back home.

When she returned, Duan Muqing's anxious expression disappeared: "I thought something had happened, and I was just about to go to the bathroom to look for you."

"It's nothing."

The two were chatting and laughing when Cheng Xiuyuan returned.

He had a gloomy face. Duan Muqing glanced at him casually, frowned, and said to him, "If you have something to do, go back quickly. Don't stay here sullenly and ruin the atmosphere of everyone's meal."

Duan Muqing naturally had a very deep affection for this cousin; otherwise, he wouldn't have called him that.

When Cheng Xiuyuan was a child, his parents had a bad relationship. His mother thought that having a child would keep his father with her.

But she never expected that Cheng Xiuyuan's birth would actually hasten his father's extramarital affair.

Once he saw that there was a child, Cheng Xiuyuan's father was no longer afraid of anything. Anyway, the Cheng family bloodline was continuing, so he could play around as he pleased.

Later, his mother couldn't think straight and was afraid of hurting the child, so she sent him to the Duan family.

On the surface, the two are cousins. In reality, Duan Muqing treats Cheng Xiuyuan no differently than a younger brother.

So he spoke to him more casually.

Cheng Xiuyuan took a sip of his drink and said, "Okay, brother, find someone to take me home."

"You're so old, don't you know how to call a taxi yourself? Go by yourself, don't bother me, I have to accompany your sister-in-law."

Duan Muqing is a very vigilant person, but he can't feel any wariness towards his cousin whom he grew up with.

Cheng Xiuyuan was like family to him, so how could he have imagined that his cousin had just tried to sow discord between Jiang Tian and his cousin?

Before leaving, Cheng Xiuyuan glanced at Jiang Tian, ​​and the two made eye contact. Jiang Tian smiled, took a sip of juice, and didn't say anything.

Cheng Xiuyuan's heart sank, and he walked away without looking back.

"Don't pay attention to him. That's just his personality. He's always gloomy. You'll see later. Actually, he's a pretty good person. He just can't bring himself to smile at people."

Duan Muqing explained to Jiang Tian.

"It's okay, kids have tempers, I won't hold it against him."

"That's good."

Duan Muqing felt relieved.

Instead, by the time they finished this meal, their engagement ceremony would be getting closer and closer.

However, things often don't go as planned when people are full of hope.

One night, Duan Muqing received a phone call from Cheng Xiuyuan.

"Cousin, are you alone right now?"

Duan Muqing was somewhat confused: "Yes, what do you want?"

"Cousin, listen to me, Qing Shu's husband was in a car accident and was badly injured. Qing Shu is crying her eyes out. I happened to be here on a business trip and ran into her. I remember you know a very famous doctor, could you help her find that doctor?"
