That's how rich people are; they want the women they meet to stay the same, yet they also want what they give to make those women work for them—they're always contradicting themselves.
At this moment, Jiang Tian's smile had a hint of helplessness.
She looked at Jiang Xianyu: "Actually, I really don't understand, Young Master Jiang. If you really want me, it means I have something to offer. But why do you always look down on me?"
"You think I can't do it, but how many people can really know what the future holds? Do you really understand me? Sometimes I wonder why we have to label someone and force them to develop along the path we imagine."
"I think I'm just an ordinary person, and I'll only live according to my heart. Whether I will change in the future, you'll have to wait and see—maybe you won't have the chance to see it. After all, with my temperament, I don't know how to please people, and I don't know how to get along with someone. Before long, Young Master Su will abandon me."
“It wouldn’t have made any sense for you to observe me at that time—after all, I hadn’t really gone through the trials yet, and I hadn’t seen the glitz and glamour of high society.”
Her tone seemed sarcastic, yet her words were ambiguous.
But Jiang Xianyu and Su Yuyao both understood what she meant.
Jiang Xianyu gave Jiang Tian a deep look. He could tell that no matter what he said, Jiang Tian wouldn't change her mind.
She would rather stay by Su Yuyao's side than by his.
It was as if he had transformed into some kind of monstrous monster.
Since that's the case, there's no need to dwell on it anymore.
Jiang Xianyu smiled, feeling like a fool today.
Why was I so impulsive? Was it just because my family was pressuring me to get married?
Because of a face that flashed through his mind, he ran over and launched a heroic rescue for Jiang Tian—unfortunately, he was the hero, but Jiang Tian did not want to be the one being rescued.
She even showed an indescribable rejection and avoidance of his arrival.
So, his expectations were dashed once again.
Jiang Tian's gaze remained pure, but Jiang Xianyu no longer wanted to linger.
Jiang Xianyu gazed calmly at Jiang Tian, his tone carrying a slight chill: "Perhaps I shouldn't have come today. Don't worry, it's impossible for me to wait and see how you change in the future. My energy is limited, and my current focus on you is only because of our past... but that won't be the case in the future. We have different paths, and I only hope you can figure out what you're pursuing. People always have to move forward. I wish you and Su Yuyao happiness."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Xianyu's back was straight and upright.
He maintained his air of a noble young master, his steps deliberate and measured.
But everyone present understood that his words meant a complete break with Jiang Tian.
He had given Jiang Tian many chances before, wanting to take her away, but Jiang Tian chose Su Yuyao time and time again. In Jiang Xianyu's eyes, this was undoubtedly a betrayal, and betrayal was what he hated most.
Su Yuyao watched Jiang Xianyu's departing figure in silence.
The person is gone for good.
After a long while, Jiang Tian spoke first, her voice weak from illness: "Thank you, Young Master Su. Thanks to you for helping me just now, otherwise my 'performance' would have been ruined."
Upon hearing her words, Su Yuyao's expression changed drastically!
He turned his head and suddenly looked at Jiang Tian!
His tone was icy as he questioned Jiang Tian: "Performance? What do you mean? Do you know what you're saying? What were you performing just now?"
Perhaps because he was too ill and not very clear-headed, Jiang Tian did not notice anything unusual about him at the moment.
She slowly explained, "It's just an act to make it seem like you like me and want to be with me. I know my place. Here, I'm just an insignificant presence, not even as good as your servant, so I won't have any improper thoughts, much less try to get something I can't have. Saying I wanted to date you before was just to put on a show. I know I'm not good enough for you, it was all fake."
Su Yuyao's face was extremely gloomy.
He wanted to explode in anger, but he didn't know who to vent it on.
"What do you mean by 'not good enough'? Didn't I say that the reason I let you live in this villa was so that you would pretend to be my boyfriend/girlfriend outside?" Su Yuyao's face tightened.
Jiang Tian nodded.
Seeing her face, Su Yuyao's tone became somewhat unnatural, but he continued, "But I've changed my mind recently. Continuing to act is too boring, so let's make it real. Didn't you want to date me? Then let's start. A relationship has to start before it can end, otherwise how can I break up with you?"
"When I'm in a relationship with someone else, I'm serious and committed to seeing it through to the end. There's no reason for me to make an exception for you."
As Su Yuyao spoke, he appeared calm, but he didn't look at Jiang Tian at all—noticing that Jiang Tian's doubts were growing stronger, he dared not look her in the eye.
He knew in his heart that what he was saying was almost nonsense, but at this crucial moment, he didn't have time to come up with a perfect explanation.
Moreover, he really couldn't understand why Jiang Tian's situation didn't develop as he had expected.
She actually considered herself a servant.
I'm so disappointed in you!
If she were truly the kind of person who only wanted to climb the social ladder, he wouldn't be so angry.
Seeing that Jiang Tian remained silent, Su Yuyao coughed lightly and deliberately emphasized his tone: "Did you understand what I said? I command you to have a real relationship with me. Only in this way will I be able to spend time with you and then break up with you in a more natural way."
“If we keep acting like this, it’s a waste of time and we don’t feel like we’re in a relationship. How can I break up with you? I’m not here to be an actor, so you have to consider my feelings and let me get some feedback from this relationship so I don’t lose out.”
Jiang Tian hesitated before asking, "So, you mean you want to officially start dating me?"
Su Yuyao replied calmly, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Acting is pointless and Jiang Xianyu might notice, so let's make it real. Don't worry, when we're dating, I definitely won't treat you like I used to. I'll treat you as an equal. I was good to my previous girlfriends, and I'll treat you the same way."
You can't refuse!
Seeing that Jiang Tian was about to speak, Su Yuyao spoke first.
He was both anxious and annoyed. How could this woman always so easily sway his emotions?
If a relationship could solve all problems, then it would be worth it.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed.
The answers to everything will only be known after experiencing it. Once everything is clear, we can go our separate ways and not hold each other back.
Thinking of this, Su Yuyao stared at Jiang Tian and asked, "Do you understand now?"
Another silence followed.
After a while, Jiang Tian looked at him seriously and nodded, saying, "I understand. But, Young Master Su, if we really date, I might not listen to you in everything, I might argue with you, I might act like a normal person, I might even get angry with you, and I might even make you do things you don't like... Are you sure you want to date like this? Real love is mutual, and I don't want to always be in a subordinate position."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyao's expression softened inexplicably.
He feigned nonchalance: "I understand, and I can empathize. Since you want to have a normal relationship, of course I'll be prepared."
