When Jiang Tian woke up again, she found herself in a very luxurious bedroom.
Her hands and feet were tied, making it difficult for her to even move.
Xie Mingfeng came in with a glass of wine, looked at Jiang Tian, and gave a slight smile: "Why are you awake so early?"
Jiang Tian struggled helplessly, and her expression turned unusually serious: "What are you trying to do?"
"Didn't you see? The rope is all tied up for you. What do you think I'm going to do?"
Xie Mingfeng put down his wine glass, walked to the bedside, lifted Jiang Tian's chin, and said to her, "I really didn't know that you abandoned me because you got involved with your boss."
"Jiang Tian, I have to look at you in a new light."
Jiang Tian turned her head away, her hair slightly disheveled, but her expression remained calm: "I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but I have no relationship with Jiang Chengyu. If you want to do something bad to me because of this, that's unfair to me."
Xie Mingfeng is clearly going crazy.
Why would a normal person suddenly kidnap someone and take her to a villa?
After Jiang Tian and Jiang Chengyu finished their late-night snack, Jiang Chengyu originally planned to take her home, but he had an urgent matter to attend to and had to call a taxi for her instead.
He told Jiang Tian to be careful and to send him a message when she got home.
Jiang Tian agreed.
But as soon as she got off the bus and walked downstairs to her rented apartment, she was drugged and knocked unconscious.
When she woke up and saw Xie Mingfeng, everything became clear.
"What is fair and what is unfair? We've been working in society for many years now, we're no longer fresh-faced college students. You can't persuade me with these kinds of words."
Xie Mingfeng stared intently at Jiang Tian, his lips curling upwards, but his eyes held no smile.
"Wasn't he the one you slept with back then? I was wondering why I couldn't find a suitable partner after checking everyone around you. Turns out, my blind spot misled me. You're not only compatible with those below you, but you can also climb the social ladder."
Jiang Tian looked at him coldly: "Why did you bring me here? Didn't I tell you? We've been strangers for a long time."
Xie Mingfeng's lips curled up slightly without his noticing: "But I didn't agree. Think back carefully, did I ever agree even once? If I didn't agree, this relationship can't end here."
"When you were touched by another man, did you ever think that I would be very sad?" Xie Mingfeng asked lazily as he slowly took off her clothes.
The two had slept together countless times, and Xie Mingfeng should have been very familiar with Jiang Tian's body, but the moment he saw her perfect figure wrapped under her clothes, Xie Mingfeng's breathing changed.
Seeing that he was about to continue tearing off her clothes, Jiang Tian asked in a trembling voice, "Do you even consider me a human being?"
"Of course I see you as a person. We've shared many happy times together, and I really enjoy having you by my side. I'm just a person who's too attached to things."
"If it's not done perfectly, I always feel like something's missing."
"I brought you into my bedroom today, not only for intimate moments, but also to tell you something. I'm not planning on finding anyone else; being with you is great. Rather than finding someone I like, I'd rather find someone who likes me. You love me so much, we'll be very happy."
A tone of bestowal.
Xie Mingfeng was still slowly and methodically moving his hands.
Only one layer of cover remains.
Jiang Tian's face turned pale: "You want to be with me, so I have to continue being your mistress? What have I ever done to deserve being treated like a nobody by you?"
Jiang Tian's voice trembled slightly.
Xie Mingfeng paused for a moment, then slowly embraced Jiang Tian.
The familiar scent enveloped him, prompting him to let out a satisfied sigh.
"Why should we be lovers? You've tormented me for so long, how can I let you be my lover again? Let's just be a proper boyfriend and girlfriend, and I'll treat you well."
Jiang Tian looked up at him intently: "If you want to be my boyfriend, what about Chen Wanyue? Don't forget, you've waited for her for six years."
"You clearly told me that she was the only woman you've ever loved in your life."
When she mentioned Chen Wanyue, Xie Mingfeng felt surprisingly unmoved.
Perhaps he was too fond of romanticizing his memories. Chen Wanyue was a prominent figure in his university days, but since they graduated, everyone has achieved certain results in their respective fields. The person who has accompanied him all the way is Jiang Tian.
They had been through so much together, and Jiang Tian knew exactly what he liked and disliked, always putting his needs first.
As soon as she left, Xie Mingfeng always felt as if someone had dug a black hole in his heart.
No matter how I fill it in, it's never full.
He could still put on a brave face before, but now he doesn't want to pretend anymore.
“I’ve had a terrible time since you left me. It’s been six years, and I’ve gotten used to you being by my side. Do you know how much it hurt me when you left?”
Xie Mingfeng stroked her face.
However, her departure also had some advantages.
By a twist of fate, he discovered another side of her.
In his memory, Jiang Tian had always been an honest and weak character. Through these encounters, he discovered a side of her that he admired even more.
He finally understood that she only ever showed a humble side around him.
That's because she loves him and is afraid he'll leave.
She is never humble in front of others, and is always dazzling and radiant.
Xie Mingfeng wanted to kiss her, but when he found that she couldn't help but avoid him, he wasn't angry.
"I was a jerk before, and I let you down a lot. I know that in my heart. Fortunately, I still have a chance to make amends."
"Jiang Tian, let's start over. From today onwards, I will treat you like a lover."
Jiang Tian's lips curled into a mocking smile. She lowered her eyes, looked at herself, and then at him: "You tied me up, leaving me practically naked, just to confess your feelings to me. Xie Mingfeng, I really want to know, in your eyes, am I even considered an independent person?"
"Is it not normal for couples who are dating to have some physical intimacy?" Xie Mingfeng's expression did not change. "I just skipped some steps. We've known each other for so many years. If we really had to start from scratch and go through the process again, it would be too much of a waste of time. We can just move in together directly."
"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged on anything you're entitled to. I've already transferred the villa under my name to you, along with bags, jewelry, and whatever else you want. You can use all my cards."
He didn't care before, but now that he cares, he can't be stingy.
But he found that his words actually made Jiang Tian laugh.
