"No, their wedding was quite private back then, and later his wife fell ill and went abroad to recuperate. How could they have had time to take photos? Besides, the Cheng family was very dissatisfied with her. As you know, she's not young anymore, and she's ill. If she has to recuperate for a while longer, when will she be able to have children? The elders in the family are unhappy, so naturally no one wants to associate with her. She's a rather reclusive person and never attends social events, otherwise I would have met her."
Xia Zicheng's older sister is a social butterfly who loves to make connections in various settings.
For her, having one more person means having one more path.
But clearly, Cheng Yanzheng's wife is not the type to enjoy socializing at all.
She had only heard her name, but had forgotten about her; she had never even seen her wedding photo.
But that doesn't matter. Both the Cheng and Jiang families have already obtained benefits that satisfy each other. Even if they part ways peacefully, their relationship with each other will always be harmonious.
They came together for mutual benefit, and they separated for mutual benefit; it was nothing more than going through the motions.
It was her mentally challenged brother who insisted on bringing this up.
Age discrimination against women is still quite prevalent; a wife in her thirties and a husband in his twenties always raises many questions.
Moreover, Cheng Yanzheng's own conditions are so good, so—
Xia Zicheng's older sister slapped her brother hard again: "From now on, keep your mouth shut and don't say anything you shouldn't say."
This time, Xia Zicheng really didn't dare to say anything more.
He realized that his sister knew more than he did, but he still felt that Cheng Yanzheng was not entirely driven by self-interest.
He was clearly very humane; otherwise, how could his cousin have been assigned to his company?
But there was no need to tell his sister these things, since they weren't really familiar with Cheng Yanzheng.
After the Xia siblings left, Jiang Tian stretched and asked Cheng Yanzheng, "Want to go eat?"
She seemed perfectly natural, showing no remorse whatsoever for Cheng Yanzheng waiting for her to get off work.
Cheng Yanzheng did not ask her to apologize.
He walked straight up to her, and under Jiang Tian's gaze, took her hand and grasped a certain spot.
Since their reunion, Cheng Yanzheng felt as if he had flipped a switch.
He could never control his impulses when he was with this woman.
It seemed as if his mind was telling him that it would be difficult for him to win this woman's heart in the short term.
Only intimate contact between the two of them could soothe his long-suppressed feelings.
Jiang Tian laughed: "Really? You should be twenty-eight years old this year. They say men start to decline after thirty. Won't your messing around affect your life later on?"
Cheng Yanzheng's expression was somewhat cold; no one likes to hear their abilities questioned.
"Why don't you try it and see?"
He no longer wanted to pretend with Jiang Tian.
He just wanted her; he got excited the moment he saw her.
Since this woman is too lazy to talk about feelings with him, and says she likes his body, then they should just be direct.
There are many areas in the studio that can be utilized.
Jiang Tian, however, would not allow him to touch any places he shouldn't.
Finally, the two of them stumbled and bumped their way to the lounge.
Jiang Tian was truly impressed by him.
When they came out of the lounge, Jiang Tian was so exhausted she could barely walk.
After a year apart, people always make progress, but Cheng Yanzheng's progress was beyond her expectations.
Cheng Yanzheng usually doesn't have much of an expression, and today he looked no different from usual. But if you looked closely at his expression, you could see that his anxiety had been suppressed and his eyes were much brighter.
Jiang Tian was too weak to walk, so Cheng Yanzheng looked around the parking lot and, seeing that there were no people there, easily carried her across.
He exercises regularly and has a strong physique. For others, they might start to decline as they approach thirty, but there are always exceptions.
He loves fitness, and the frequency of his workouts is, to some extent, related to his abilities.
Cheng Yanzheng will not admit defeat in this regard.
Their life together is becoming more and more harmonious.
Jiang Tian has been busy with work lately, going to the studio from dawn till dusk every day. In her spare time, she is completely tied up by Cheng Yanzheng, and she can't help but pinch Cheng Yanzheng's muscles.
"You're seriously affecting my private life, you know that?"
Although Jiang Tian is not a nightclub enthusiast and doesn't particularly like going to bars, she knows how to enjoy life.
Cheng Yanzheng tilted his head back, beads of sweat still on his forehead, and glanced at Jiang Tian: "Why haven't you been smoking lately?"
Jiang Tian blinked: "I thought you hadn't noticed."
In fact, Cheng Yanzheng had already noticed that she seemed to have given up her bad habits.
"Hmm... there's no particular reason, but if I had to say, it might be related to my ex-boyfriend—so, do you want to hear it?"
Cheng Yanzheng looked at her without changing his expression: "Yes."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "My ex-boyfriend was a very romantic musician, my daughter probably told you that. It's true. If you search his name on Baidu Baike, you'll get his impressive resume. He was also a very gentle person. We transitioned from lovers to friends, and I had deep feelings for him. For a while, my career hit a very serious roadblock, and I almost had to change careers... well, that's when I started smoking."
“When he found out, he strongly disagreed and wanted to help me quit. But in fact, not long after our quitting smoking plan started, he was diagnosed with some kind of disease. The disease progressed very quickly, and after a while, he passed away. No one was there to help me quit smoking, so I stopped trying.”
“But you’ve quit now,” Cheng Yanzheng said, looking at her.
"Because I want to let go of the past. In a sense, not quitting smoking is about missing him, but smoking does affect health, and I still have to consider my health. It's irresponsible of me to be inexplicably immersed in a period of time."
She seemed to be implying something, yet she also seemed to have said nothing at all.
Cheng Yanzheng didn't say anything. He just nodded silently and thought for a while before saying, "You look much better now than before."
“I didn’t smoke much before, so don’t think of me as some kind of heavy smoker.”
Jiang Tian was amused by him.
Cheng Yanzheng didn't want to say much to her. Since they were both awake and she clearly still had energy, they might as well do something that should be done at night.
The secret relationship between the two was actually not that secret.
Du Baiwei watched the whole thing.
She still doesn't understand why the CEO hasn't revealed his wife's identity.
According to outsiders, Jiang Tian is still single.
When Du Baiwei went to deliver documents to her studio, she also saw someone else giving her flowers.
