Jiang Tian was startled by him: "Put me down."
Ji Feihan wanted to be with her every moment, so how could he possibly put her down?
He pretended not to hear, closed the door, and let Jiang Tian sit in his lap, his eyes filled with laughter: "From now on, when you come to see me, I'll carry you in, okay?"
Jiang Tian's gaze was somewhat evasive: "I won't be coming starting tomorrow. I ran into Mr. Lu yesterday, and I didn't know what to say."
"Who cares what he does? This is my home."
Ji Feihan wished he could pack up Lu Sihe and throw him out.
Today, Jiang Tian was wearing her old pajamas, which were of very poor quality and felt rough to the touch.
Why aren't you wearing the new pajamas I bought you?
Ji Feihan was somewhat dissatisfied.
Knowing that she was reluctant to spend money, and that although her clothes were clean, they had been worn for a long time, Ji Feihan had someone buy her dozens of new clothes early on.
He couldn't bear to see his girlfriend suffer.
“I… those clothes don’t suit me…” Jiang Tian added, afraid that Ji Feihan would be angry, “I’ll buy new ones tomorrow.”
"All your pajamas are the same style. If you keep wearing these old clothes, I'll strip them all off. Wear new pajamas tomorrow, okay?"
Jiang Tian remained silent.
That means rejection.
Ji Feihan sighed: "I don't want you to suffer. This dress has chafed your skin red."
I really don't know how this woman is so beautiful. Her skin is so fair and delicate that Ji Feihan didn't dare to use any force, for fear of leaving a red mark.
He cherished it, but Jiang Tian didn't take it seriously, which made him a little angry.
"It's okay, I'm used to wearing these clothes."
Jiang Tian still wouldn't budge.
Ji Feihan's anger level rose: "You're used to it, but I'm not. We're dating, and I can't stand seeing you suffer any grievances. Since you don't like the clothes I bought, I'll take you to buy some more tomorrow."
Jiang Tian remained silent.
"Is it okay?" Ji Feihan was a little anxious, but he knew that Jiang Tian was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, so he could only ask patiently.
Meeting Ji Feihan's burning gaze, Jiang Tian hesitated again and again before finally speaking: "Feihan, don't be so good to me. I don't want to accept any of your gifts. Once... once you're tired of me, our relationship will end."
After speaking, she seemed afraid that Ji Feihan would be angry, so she lowered her head and dared not look him in the eye.
Ji Feihan was indeed furious.
He was thinking that things would naturally progress between them and take things further, while Jiang Tian was hoping that he would get tired of her quickly so she could get away as soon as possible.
How could he not be angry when the two people's goals were completely opposite?
But he knew in his heart that he couldn't change Jiang Tian's mind in the short term.
Their relationship started with his forceful insistence; he had to use utmost gentleness to dispel Jiang Tian's doubts.
"Yes, I said we'd break up after I got tired of you. But Jiang Tian, I'm not tired of you yet, we're still dating. Think about it, if you like someone and they're suffering, wouldn't you feel bad?"
Ji Feihan gently cupped her face, making her look into his eyes. He lowered his voice very low and deliberately slowed down his tone to show as much tenderness as possible.
“We’re a couple. Even if we break up in the future, at least I hope that you and I can be happy. To be honest, I’m also a failure in relationships. If even you hate me, then it just means that I’m destined to be a loser.”
As he spoke, his eyes reddened slightly, and he tensed his jaw, pretending not to care.
He revealed his vulnerability, and Jiang Tian was indeed moved. She quickly said, "I don't dislike you, I... I just don't know what to do..."
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Ji Feihan just thought she was so cute.
"How about we just be a normal couple? Many couples don't last, but they enjoy their time together. Don't feel pressured. Since you've made up your mind to leave me, at least we should have some happy memories. Maybe we can still be friends in the future."
A shadow crossed Ji Feihan's eyes when she mentioned that she was leaving.
He didn't even want to make assumptions.
His words had an effect. After a long silence, Jiang Tian finally nodded: "I will try my best to adapt."
Ji Feihan moved closer to her and gently kissed her lips, his voice still very deep: "Then I'll go with you to buy pajamas tomorrow. It's settled then. Just think of it as me."
He practically begged, and Jiang Tian nodded in a daze.
"That's great, thank you."
Ji Feihan gently kissed her forehead to express his approval.
This conversation ruined Ji Feihan's mood for his plan.
Jiang Tian's resistance to him was more severe than he had anticipated.
He still has a long way to go.
After calming her down, he hugged Jiang Tian and changed the subject, asking her what her hobbies were.
"I have no hobbies, and I don't have the money to develop them."
Jiang Tian's tone contained a sense of inferiority.
Ji Feihan felt a pang of heartache: "Then think about it starting today, okay? Some hobbies don't require money, but they can make you happy."
He stroked Jiang Tian's eyebrows, where they were always slightly furrowed.
Jiang Tian thought about it carefully and agreed: "Okay, I'll think about it."
Ji Feihan wanted to hold Jiang Tian while they slept, but she was determined to leave.
Left with no other choice, Ji Feihan had to see her off.
Jiang Tian walked through the living room with extremely light footsteps, and even made a point of checking whether there was any light in Lu Sihe's room.
Seeing that it was pitch black all around, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, went into the room, and closed the door.
Once her door closed, Lu Sihe revealed himself.
He had just heard a brief noise, so he leaned against the wall to see who it was.
Sure enough, it was Jiang Tian again.
Lu Sihe frowned. He actually had a pretty good impression of Jiang Tian, but if she was restless, there was no need to keep her around.
However, he was only suspicious and needed to investigate further, preferably to find out exactly what Jiang Tian was doing in the middle of the night.
It must be said that Lu Sihe fell into a cognitive bias.
He subconsciously ruled out the possibility that Ji Feihan was involved.
Lu Sihe found it hard to connect an ordinary 35-year-old nanny with a young, strong, and outstanding CEO.
It was this misguided thinking that caused him to miss many details.
The next day, Lu Sihe remained calm and acted as usual.
Jiang Tian was unaware that she was being targeted by Lu Sihe. After a day of work, she checked her phone and went back to her room to change her clothes.
"Mr. Lu, I have something to attend to, I'll be going out for a bit."
Lu Sihe was processing emails when he heard her words, and his mouse paused for a moment.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
He pretended to be nonchalant and glanced up at Jiang Tian.
Then, his gaze remained fixed on her.
