Ji Chen was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Jiang Xue's sharp words, and he didn't know how to explain it. How could this woman be so stubborn?
Ji Chen sat to the side, pale with anger, quietly watching Jiang Xue pack her things.
"If you leave today, I'll really be angry." Ji Chen touched the jewelry box in his pocket.
He was about to take it out and give it to Jiang Xue, but when he looked up, he met Jiang Xue's icy gaze.
"What does your anger have to do with me?"
"Stop being unreasonable, okay?" Ji Chen couldn't hold back any longer, got up, grabbed Jiang Xue's clothes, and closed Jiang Xue's suitcase.
"You're not allowed to go anywhere; you're just staying at home."
"Get out of my way." Jiang Xue has a fiery temper; once her heart is closed, it can never be opened again.
Ji Chen realized Jiang Xue's emotions; she was now extremely angry.
He originally intended to let go and let her calm down for a while, but when their eyes met, he found that Jiang Xue's eyes were actually filled with tears.
Those misty, well-controlled tears.
At this moment, Ji Chen's heart was broken. He felt as if all the blame lay on him.
He slowly got up, walked to Jiang Xue's side, and used his strong hand to put his arm around Jiang Xue's slender waist, while gently stroking her head with his other hand.
"Sweetie, stop making a fuss, okay?"
Jiang Xue originally wanted to push Ji Chen away directly, even though her body resisted to the extreme, she just couldn't do it in her heart.
At that moment, she had no power to control her tears, which flowed uncontrollably.
She had always been alone since childhood, until she met Ji Chen. That brief moment of tenderness was like a kitten scratching at her heart.
The scratching tore at her heartstrings, it made her feel like her liver and intestines were being torn apart.
"You misunderstood me, please stop crying, okay?" Ji Chen gently stroked Jiang Xue's hair.
He looked down at Jiang Xue, who was crying in his arms, her face streaked with tears. His heart, which had been frozen for so long, was about to melt at this moment because of Jiang Xue's tears.
"Silly boy, don't overthink it. It was all my fault before. It was all my fault."
Jiang Xue wiped away her tears and, with the last vestiges of her reason, tried to push Ji Chen away.
How could Ji Chen possibly give her up? He was too heartbroken to even think about leaving her alone to process her emotions.
Jiang Xue was held in Ji Chen's arms like a kitten, and she kept thinking that she shouldn't succumb to temptation.
But she couldn't do it in her heart. She slowly raised her hand and put it back on Ji Chen's waist.
Her face was pressed against his hard chest; at that moment, she didn't want to think about anything else, she just wanted to hold him tight.
She wasn't sure if Ji Chen was truly sincere, because people who lack love are incapable of perceiving affection.
She didn't know if Ji Chen had ever loved her. The woman who was thriving in her career was no longer the powerful and successful businesswoman she once was.
At this moment, she was just a little woman who only wanted to feel this kind of care and love that she had never experienced before.
She couldn't see through Ji Chen's heart. She was well aware that her heart, which was as soft as could be, was actually surrounded by thorns.
Ji Chen saw that Jiang Xue had stopped sobbing and was lying quietly in his arms like a little lamb.
He reached out and lifted Jiang Xue's chin. At that moment, Jiang Xue's peach blossom eyes were wet and looked excessively dreamy.
He couldn't resist leaning down and kissing Jiang Xue's soft, delicate red lips.
