Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean? What doesn't it mean?"

Duan Muqing looked at Shen Qingshu coldly: "It's not what you think. I've just fallen for her."

Shen Qingshu's expression instantly became indescribable.

Duan Muqing had long since lost all patience with Shen Qingshu.

If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened. If she hadn't deliberately called him today, he might have avoided this torture.

"What happened between you and me is ancient history, why are you still dwelling on the past and imposing your ideas on others? Since you insist on hearing it, then I'll tell you, I've long since fallen in love with Jiang Tian, ​​no, I should say I love her. After all, since she left me, I've even found it difficult to live a normal life."

"No one will wait forever. Forget about the favor I did for you last time, and don't bother me again."

Shen Qingshu's expression crumbled inch by inch.

In her thirty years of life, this was the first time she had been attacked with such blunt language.

While remaining rational, Duan Muqing revealed the fact that he no longer had any feelings for her.

Jiang Tian's words just now were a serious blow to Shen Qingshu, but far less so than Duan Muqing's.

She always believed that her charm among men was irresistible.

Duan Muqing shattered her imagination and hurt her self-esteem.

Shen Qingshu shook her head frantically: "No, no, you can't..."

What can't be done? What is impossible in this world?

Duan Muqing turned and left.

………………

Once inside the room, Yun Jing turned around and hugged Jiang Tian, ​​leaning her against the wall. For the first time, he took the initiative to kiss her.

He knew he was a failure.

Shen Qingshu's sudden appearance gave him a sense of panic.

If Jiang Tian doesn't want him, does that mean he'll really be taken away by that woman?

Yun Jing is assessing the likelihood.

If it were the old him, there would be at least an 80% chance that he would have gone with the other party, as long as they could offer him satisfactory terms.

Yun Jing knew that he didn't actually have much ability, and if he wanted to continue his studies, he would have to humble himself appropriately.

If Jiang Tian hadn't happened to appear at that time, he might have compromised with that woman.

After all, he's willing to do many things that go against other people's principles if he can get money.

He'd gladly accept being a stand-in.

But everything changed after she met Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian was actually very good to him.

Even though the two of them signed a contract, and he officially became Jiang Tian's kept man, she never restricted his freedom, unlike those who actually keep kept men who wouldn't even give him a proper title.

Jiang Tian has always publicly claimed that he is her boyfriend.

The relationship between the two was known not only to her shop assistants, but also to Jiang Tian's parents.

Even if her parents didn't support her, they were at least clear that he wasn't just a mistress in name only, but Jiang Tian's real boyfriend.

Jiang Tian gave him an unparalleled sense of security.

Yun Jing originally thought that their happy life could continue forever.

But Shen Qingshu's provocation stirred up his inner unease.

He kissed her rather forcefully.

During this time, although the two of them didn't really do anything, they still kissed quite often.

He used a very tender gesture to try and steal Jiang Tian's essence.

It's both sweet and warm.

Yun Jing's mood unconsciously returned to normal.

When the kiss ended, Jiang Tian had no strength left and could only lean against his hard chest.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I mean what I say. The contract states a one-year term, so no matter who tries to take you away, I will protect you."

After Jiang Tian regained her breathing, she patiently spoke to Yun Jing.

Even though she was thinner and weaker than him, he promised to protect her.

Yun Jing couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

It has to be said that Shen Qingshu's appearance caused Yun Jing's thoughts to change somewhat.

Originally, he thought that all he had to do was play the role of the boyfriend.

He didn't think he had any chance of moving up the ranks.

His background in the Yun family presented him with many obstacles. From childhood to adulthood, he only received malice and ill-intentioned advances.

If it weren't for her love for her university major and her reluctance to give up the opportunity she had worked so hard to obtain, Yun Jing might have already gone wandering off somewhere.

Anyway, nobody here needs him.

Even though he accepted Jiang Tian's financial assistance and had enough money to fulfill his dream, he never thought about what he would do after graduation.

Because he knew very well that compared to the behemoth that was the Yun family, he was like a frog at the bottom of a well.

No matter what he does, he will be banished back to darkness at his father's command.

If he just drifts along, he might be able to have a relatively stable life.

But... Yun Jing doesn't want to anymore.

What are you thinking about?

Just then, Jiang Tian gently stroked his face.

Yun Jing smiled. Before he had figured out how to implement his idea, he couldn't tell Jiang Tian what he was planning to do to change their situation.

Of course, he wouldn't hide it from her.

He will inform Jiang Tian as soon as he has a concrete plan.

Because he knew what the consequences of concealing the truth would be.

Duan Muqing serves as a cautionary tale.

Don't think he didn't see it; that man had lost Jiang Tian's affections and was putting on a pathetic act, worse than a dog.
