Jiang Tian did not answer his question, but instead asked another question in a serious manner.
"Shen Xingyun, have you ever treated me as an equal?"
Upon hearing this question, Shen Xingyun frowned and said with some doubt, "Why would you ask that? If I didn't want to treat you as an equal, I would never want to marry you. You know how people in this circle treat marriage."
Many wealthy businessmen have mistresses, keeping several kept women, buying them a house, and giving them hundreds of thousands or even a million yuan a month is considered generous.
Sometimes, the rich are the most calculating. Having been immersed in the sea of money for a long time, they habitually assign value to everyone.
Your value lies here, so this is the amount of money I'll give you.
Even Shen Xingyun initially wanted to keep Jiang Tian by his side, give her some money, and let her continue to accompany and take care of him.
At that time, he never considered marrying Jiang Tian.
But things are different now; he wants to marry her, and his desire is very strong.
"I want to marry you, and we won't sign a prenuptial agreement. We'll share everything with you."
For the wealthy, sharing wealth is a very serious matter.
The people he knew, apart from the self-made first-generation millionaires, all came from wealthy families and insisted on signing a prenuptial agreement with their wives before marriage.
If a child is born, then the child should be included as a beneficiary of the family trust.
His wife was excluded.
As wives, they can enjoy all the conveniences that come with a wealthy family, such as private jets and yachts, but they only have the right to use them, not the right to own them.
They can use family resources, but they cannot possess them.
We set aside a portion of the budget specifically for them to enjoy shopping, and that's all we have.
Even in older families, borrowing valuable jewelry required registration and regular return.
The Shen family was no less impressive.
For an established family like his, there's no need to worry about bankruptcy; the family's funds have long been separated from the company's.
Therefore, the fact that Shen Xingyun did not sign a prenuptial agreement with Jiang Tian means that Jiang Tian will be financially secure for the rest of her life.
He was willing to share half of his enormous wealth with Jiang Tian.
Doesn't this demonstrate his egalitarian mindset?
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "I admit that I still have feelings for you. Just as you said, I habitually wear a mask and show my most perfect side when dealing with others. But with you, I always reveal my true nature. Because I genuinely liked you, and that feeling still affects me now."
Shen Xingyun felt completely comfortable.
He had been waiting for Jiang Tian to confess for a long time.
He sensed that Jiang Tian also had feelings for him, but she didn't reveal anything, so he was still a little uncertain.
Now she has finally admitted it.
He was very happy.
"but--"
“We are not the same people we were back then. I can’t handle your family, and I can’t handle you treating me like a hunter.”
"I was surprised and naturally touched that you were willing to share your wealth with me. But a truly healthy love can only develop when both parties are equal. Your attitude towards me has always been one of superior to inferior. I feel your feelings, but I am unable to reciprocate."
"I've struggled my whole life, but I can't reach your starting point. I can see that you don't really respect my career, let alone recognize my social value. Our thoughts are never on the same level, so how can we talk about love?"
"Maybe if we get back together, we'll fall into a passionate phase. But once your hormones have died down, even if we get married and I become your wife, it will still be hard for our relationship to continue."
“I have no power to restrain you, nor can I restrain you. I have enormous wealth and I spend money like water, but it cannot fill my heart.”
"Differences in perception prevent the foundation of love from being solid. There has never been equality between us. I only want to develop my career and don't want to waste too much time on pointless relationships."
At this point, seeing Shen Xingyun's increasingly tense expression, Jiang Tian suddenly reached out and touched his firm chest muscles.
"Actually, I'm not sure what aspect of my feelings for you are. Maybe it's just a purely physical attraction. If you'd like, you can come to my house after the show ends—without the constraints of an equal relationship, perhaps we'll be more compatible."
“We’re both adults. As long as our medical reports are both up to standard, being together occasionally isn’t a big problem. It might even help balance my hormones.”
Jiang Tian smiled faintly.
Shen Xingyun's face turned completely dark.
He gritted his teeth and removed Jiang Tian's hand.
Jiang Tian's words were so compelling that he could hardly refute them.
His feelings were genuine.
But she had very little trust in him.
"Alright, don't be angry. Let's continue discussing the cooperation—Mr. Shen wouldn't be so petty as to give up on cooperating with my company, would he?"
She had a charming smile, yet was extremely cunning.
Shen Xingyun is skilled at debating, and even more skilled at delivering a powerful blow to his opponents.
But when it comes to Jiang Tian, he can only let her lead him by the nose.
Without love, there is no fear.
But he has it.
...Never mind, Shen Xingyun suppressed his chaotic thoughts.
He can reflect on the issue of equality versus inequality; now he needs to discuss business with Jiang Tian.
He would continue as long as it strengthened his connection with her.
Otherwise, once the show ends, he won't even have an excuse to contact her.
The two were initially at loggerheads, but later, when they sat down to discuss business, Shen Xingyun regained his composure.
Since Jiang Tian wants equality, he certainly won't let himself be taken advantage of.
