"Jiang Tian, what does 'like' mean?"
Xie Zilang did not answer her question, but instead asked her a question.
His posture was sincere and earnest; he genuinely wanted to know what it meant to like someone.
The Xie family was stingy with even kinship towards him, let alone let him understand what liking or love meant.
Jiang Tian paused briefly: "Why did you ask such a question?"
Xie Zilang stared intently at Jiang Tian with his deep and calm eyes: "When I see you happy, I am happy; when I see you unhappy, I feel down too; when I see other men proposing to you, I feel sad and jealous. I want to beg you not to say yes, but I am also afraid that because of my mistake, you will not be able to have a good life."
"Are these feelings what we call liking?"
Jiang Tian opened her mouth, but surprisingly couldn't say anything.
Xie Zilang continued to approach her, and he even reached out with trembling hands to touch Jiang Tian's face.
His voice was a little hoarse: "And these days, whenever you come near me, I get stiff all over, and sometimes I even act strangely..."
"Jiang Tian, I've fallen for you."
Xie Zilang finally said those words with a confident tone.
If it's not liking, then what is it?
Everyone says their live-streaming performance as a couple is well-acted, but acting is still acting.
His acting skills weren't so outstanding as to be completely natural.
He used to always try to escape, and he dared not show any unusual emotions.
But tonight, Shen Yanting's marriage proposal threw him into a state of complete disarray.
Jiang Tian's failure to refuse on the spot only fueled his panic.
He knew that confessing his feelings to Jiang Tian at this critical juncture was actually a selfish act.
But he couldn't help being selfish.
If he keeps hiding it from me, he might never have another chance to speak out.
After he finished speaking, Xie Zilang lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Don't take my words to heart. I know I'm not good enough for you... But Shen Yanting, he won't give you true happiness..."
"But he will give me a lot of money."
Jiang Tian remained silent for a long time before uttering these words.
"You brat, didn't I tell you? I only like money. Only money will never betray me. He gave me the money, and I don't care about anything else."
Xie Zilang's eyes suddenly became sore.
Yes, he had always known that Jiang Tian liked money.
But he simply didn't have any money.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure tonight."
Xie Zilang hurriedly stood up, not daring to look at Jiang Tian's face, and turned to go into the bathroom.
He felt lost.
If Jiang Tian agrees, what should he do then?
Jiang Tian didn't speak to him again, and Xie Zilang couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, just after nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
Xie Zilang was already waiting there; he knew the person who had come was Shen Yanting.
Shen Yanting looked radiant, with a lawyer following behind him.
As the two of them stepped into Jiang Tian's house, Xie Zilang's unease began to resurface.
Jiang Tian also got up. They didn't say a word to each other this morning and had an unusually silent breakfast.
Shen Yanting looked at Jiang Tian, his tone calm and composed: "I had my lawyer draft the contract overnight yesterday, and we brought it over today. Take a look and see if there's anything inappropriate. If so, please point it out, and we'll revise it as quickly as possible."
After making this decision, Shen Yanting suddenly stopped being conflicted.
He even wondered why he was so attached to Ling Xuemo.
Jiang Tian is clearly the one who should be his wife.
Jiang Tian took the documents from the lawyer and raised an eyebrow: "It seems that Mr. Shen has done quite well over the years, with half of his wealth already at this level."
“Once you sign, the money is yours.” Shen Yanting’s tone was full of determination.
Jiang Tian tapped the stack of documents almost imperceptibly with her finger, but did not reply.
Shen Yanting placed the pen under Jiang Tian's eyes, indicating that she should sign it.
Jiang Tian didn't speak, but instead looked at Xie Zilang standing to the side, her eyes revealing neither joy nor anger.
When Shen Yanting saw Jiang Tian looking at Xie Zilang, his mood instantly soured: "You don't need to worry about him. After we get married, I will arrange a proper way out for him."
He could no longer allow Jiang Tian and Xie Zilang to live together.
"That's great, Mr. Shen, you've thought of everything."
Shen Yanting frowned: "Then why haven't you signed yet?"
Jiang Tian casually pushed the stack of documents in front of him, her tone still nonchalant: "I won't sign these. Marrying you is too much pressure. I'll just stay a streamer."
Shen Yanting's expression changed in an instant.
Even the lawyer next to him looked on with disbelief.
That's so much money, more than many people could spend in several lifetimes, and Jiang Tian just said she didn't want it.
Xie Zilang, standing to the side, was pounding his heart uncontrollably.
She...she actually refused?
Shen Yanting's expression was terrifying. He pointed at Xie Zilang beside him and said, "Stop pretending! It's because of him, isn't it?! Isn't it because of this pretty boy?!"
