Jiang Tian remained silent for a long time.
Su Yuyao's heart raced, his mind filled with unease and anxiety.
He wasn't sure if he could win Jiang Tian's heart. The decision was entirely in her hands. What would he do if she refused? How would he face the days to come?
After a long while, Jiang Tian finally spoke up: "Su Yuyao, you really don't need to do this. I know the rules of your circle, and I also know about your future wife's family background. You don't need to go to such lengths for me. I don't have that much influence."
"You do," Su Yuyao said firmly and seriously.
Do you think I acted impulsively, or have you never trusted me from the beginning?
Jiang Tian's tone revealed a hint of helplessness: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that it's unnecessary, do you understand? I don't need you to go to such lengths, much less make so many sacrifices for me. Our relationship started as a transaction. You used my brother to threaten me, and then we got together. Do you remember all of this, right?"
Su Yuyao certainly remembered, and not only did he remember, he was also filled with regret.
If they had met differently, perhaps Jiang Tian wouldn't have run so far away.
In any case, there is still a chance to make amends, and he absolutely cannot miss it again.
He hesitated for a moment before opening his heart to Jiang Tian: "In your eyes, I may be a noble young master who has everything and can live as I please, but I don't think so."
"Perhaps many people think I'm a bit greedy, already having so much, yet still trying to pursue something deeper at some point—but human greed is innate, and how many people are truly content with what they have? Many people know they will never be satisfied with the status quo."
"Since I met you, I have found that when I am with you, my heart is incredibly peaceful and joyful. I no longer suffer from sleepless nights, headaches, or even irritability due to family disputes or conflicts of interest."
Jiang Tian retorted softly, "I'm not that amazing. You're exaggerating my abilities."
“You may not believe you have such magic, but you have to believe in your own charm. Look, the three of us are looking for you now. Why? If you didn’t have anything that attracted us, why would we go to all this trouble? Don’t think of yourself as ordinary. You are a person full of energy. A partner like you is exactly what I’ve been dreaming of.”
At this point, Su Yuyao even felt a little embarrassed.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Before, when people asked me what kind of wife I wanted to marry, I had no idea. But ever since I met you, whenever someone asks me this question, your face immediately comes to mind. Now that I have become the head of the Su family, I can finally face this answer directly."
His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Jiang Tian, I just want to marry you and spend my life with you."
“After you come back and become my wife, you will be protected by the Su family. No matter what those two people do, they will not be able to make you suffer any more grievances. As your boyfriend, I have failed in many ways and failed to protect you when you needed me most, but it is not too late to make amends now. We still have a long life ahead of us and can plan our future together.”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Tian chuckled softly, a hint of indescribable vicissitude in her smile.
"But you say you want to marry me, what can you give me? The title of Mrs. Su, do you think that will protect you from everyone's malice? That's too difficult."
"Compared to you, I understand better that the gap between nobles and commoners is like an insurmountable chasm. Others will only laugh at me for being a phoenix that has flown to the top of a tree, but no one can ignore my humble origins as a sparrow."
Su Yuyao immediately responded, "I've considered all of these things. Don't worry, you'll soon obtain noble status. The noble class isn't invincible these days. As long as someone pulls strings, your status can be changed. Just like Cui Chuwei, she was originally a commoner, but now she's a noble, isn't she? As long as you're willing to come back to my side, all these problems can be easily solved."
Over there, Jiang Tian's attitude finally changed slightly: "But I still find it hard to trust you. I don't know what our future will be like, and I don't know if you will betray me one day and take everything away from me."
“I’ve thought of everything you’re worried about. It was my fault for not being able to give you enough security before. Now I want to make up for it and naturally I want to give you full protection.”
Su Yuyao's tone became increasingly fluent: "Of the Su family's assets, I will give you half of my personal share without reservation. I know you're someone who can't sit still, and being a pampered housewife at home all day might be torture for you. So whether you want to go to work at the company or run your coffee shop, I support you, as long as you're happy. I will arrange bodyguards for you to ensure your safety."
"Oh, and your younger brother too. I'll arrange a suitable position for him in the company. He won't have to fight tooth and nail for a good job like ordinary people anymore. He'll have a comfortable life. If you have any other conditions, you can bring them up. As long as it makes you feel at ease marrying me, I'll agree to anything. I just hope you can come back."
Jiang Tian seemed taken aback by his promise and said after a long while, "Su Yuyao, you really don't need to do this. You don't need to make so many concessions when it comes to matters of the heart. As long as you give yourself some time to heal, you can easily move on."
“If I could easily let go, I wouldn’t have made these demands of you. Jiang Tian, you should know me. I’m someone who cares a lot about my own feelings and has always wanted to live a happy and carefree life. After being with you, I felt an unprecedented happiness, but our relationship has been full of ups and downs. These twists and turns have made me experience the bittersweetness of love.”
"Even if it's just for myself, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to give you so much because I've already considered you family, so I don't feel like I'm losing out by doing this for you. It's like the left hand helping the right, you understand? That's how I feel in my heart. I'm willing to give everything for you, I just hope you can come back to me."
Every word Su Yuyao spoke was filled with utmost sincerity.
He even considered the future: "If one day our feelings fade, our wealth won't change, and I will never take back what is rightfully yours. I still believe in my previous idea: I will give you enough compensation so that you can live a comfortable and worry-free life in the future. Even if one day I stop loving you, at least I can guarantee that you will live a good life."
Su Yuyao couldn't predict the fickle nature of human nature. He even found it unbelievable that he had fallen in love with Jiang Tian. How could he possibly guess when he would stop loving her? Therefore, taking precautions was essential.
