Cheng Yanzheng thought it would be a peaceful night. After finishing his work in the study as usual, he checked his watch and saw that it was almost time. So he grabbed his coat, got in his car, and drove to the vicinity of the restaurant that Jiang Tian had mentioned.
According to his estimate, 11 o'clock was neither too early nor too late, and Jiang Tian would come out in less than an hour.
Jiang Tian arrived earlier than he had anticipated.
Seeing her come out, Cheng Yanzheng got out of the car.
To his surprise, when he looked again, he discovered that there was a man following Jiang Tian.
This man is very handsome; he fits the current popular aesthetic standards.
He was very tall and had a straight posture.
Jiang Tian appeared to have drunk some alcohol, her face flushed slightly from the effects of the alcohol.
The man followed her, and the two stopped in one place.
Cheng Yanzheng stood not far away watching this scene, but no one paid any attention to him.
They are focused on their own things.
This young man is confessing his feelings to Jiang Tian.
The night breeze was a little chilly.
Jiang Tian wore a black coat, which was simple, elegant, and very stylish.
Her hair was casually loose over her shoulders, without any particular hairstyle.
Her face was rather small, which made her look somewhat frail.
But her back was very straight.
She was very relaxed and easygoing, yet people were hesitant to get close to her.
Cheng Yanzheng's gaze lingered on Jiang Tian's finger, and his expression changed slightly.
Because Jiang Tian had a woman's cigarette between her fingers.
They've known each other for so long, and Cheng Yanzheng never knew she smoked.
Under his gaze, Jiang Tian picked up a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled smoke with practiced ease.
As she gazed at the young man, Jiang Tian's face held an indescribable coldness.
He couldn't describe how Jiang Tian felt at that moment.
He hated it when other people smoked, but he couldn't take his eyes off her.
The same goes for that man.
The young man had an air of arrogance in his eyes; clearly, he was on a smooth path.
But when facing Jiang Tian, he felt an inexplicable nervousness, and even his speech became somewhat stammering.
"Sister, I really like you. I sent you messages but you didn't reply. I don't just want to be a model for your company, I also want to stand by your side."
Jiang Tian exhaled another puff of smoke.
Amidst the brief swirling mist, her eyes held an indescribable allure.
"Didn't I emphasize this before? I have a husband, we just got married, and our relationship is very stable."
Jiang Tian never hid her married status, and Cheng Yanzheng knew this.
After the wedding, Cheng Yanzheng even had some of the photos taken by the media taken of his face removed. He handled the marriage in a relatively low-key manner, while Jiang Tian made no attempt to hide her face, which was part of her professionalism.
“I know, but I don’t mind. I just want to be with you. We can keep it a secret from everyone.”
Jiang Tian chuckled softly and shook her head: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide anything from anyone. I only have one husband."
“I can be your lover…” the young man said hesitantly.
"I refuse."
Jiang Tian's decisive rejection did not diminish the man's attraction to her.
Cars were coming and going on the street, and they were talking in the desolate and narrow alley, with a few drops of moonlight filtering through the shade of the trees next to them.
Jiang Tian just stood there, doing nothing, but her cool yet passionate aura made people unconsciously want to be drawn to her like moths to a flame.
In the man's eyes, she was more beautiful than the moonlight.
"Sister, please consider me. I'll treat you very well."
He used to be a playboy, and who knows how many young girls he had slept with.
In his view, he would never capsize.
Upon seeing Jiang Tian, he simply couldn't look away.
She is truly captivating.
Whether at work or in life, she is a woman of great charm and allure.
The man had heard many people around him talk about her, and each time they did, it made him feel a sense of crisis.
He was determined to give it a try, no matter what.
So what if we get married?
There's no such thing as a stable fashion industry.
If a husband can't keep his wife, he can only blame himself.
Unfortunately, his confession, which he had been preparing for many days, was met with a cruel and heartless rejection.
Jiang Tian didn't say anything; she just casually finished smoking a cigarette.
“Go back. Don’t mention this to anyone. Your colleague has done similar foolish things before.”
Hearing her words, the man gave a wry smile.
"What kind of person is suitable?"
He was still unwilling to give up.
Jiang Tian remained indifferent, not answering his question, but simply repeating the three words: "Go back."
The man's proud head finally lowered.
So distraught that he didn't even bother to look at Cheng Yanzheng properly, treating him like an ordinary passerby and walking past him, before trudging back into the shop with heavy steps.
After the man left, Jiang Tian stood there for a while longer. In the moonlight, her figure revealed a desolate loneliness.
I don't know what she was thinking; she seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil of sadness.
It wasn't until the distant sound of fireworks woke Jiang Tian that she turned around and walked towards the trash can.
She soon saw Cheng Yanzheng.
He's been standing here for quite some time.
Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow: "You came so early? Didn't we agree to meet at 11 o'clock?"
