Even though he was listening nearby, his inner fear was rapidly growing.
“I blocked her. She’ll probably think I’m love-struck,” Jiang Tian said to Li Xiu with a smile.
After a long pause, Li Xiu nodded woodenly, "I...I'll go check if the soup is ready..."
"Li Xiu, your memory is really bad. We didn't make soup today."
Jiang Tian gently reminded him.
Li Xiu forced a smile: "Shall I go look at some other dishes then...?"
“But we’re planning to eat out today.” Jiang Tian blinked.
Li Xiu was speechless. He looked at Jiang Tian, his eyes seemingly veiled with tears: "I'm sorry, maybe I was too terrible before, which is why everyone avoided me like the plague—"
“Li Xiu, what you need to do is not to reflect on what your past was like, but to work hard with me to create a new future.”
Jiang Tian held Li Xiu's hand: "I know you are very uneasy. I will not care about what kind of disputes you had with Qiao Yulan before. At least in front of me, you are real, and that's enough."
Li Xiu tried hard to laugh, but he couldn't.
He didn't reveal his true self to Jiang Tian.
Because that side is too crazy and twisted.
Jiang Tian pretended not to notice his distraction and said to him, "I will say less comforting words to you in the future, and you have to work hard yourself. If you really can't break free, just tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it with you."
Li Xiuwei nodded almost imperceptibly.
A week later, Jiang Tian's flower shop opened.
The location Li Xiu chose for her was excellent, and he spent a lot of money on advertising, so the flower shop's business became an instant success.
Jiang Tian became famous almost instantly.
She is absolutely stunning.
When she sits in the flower shop wearing an elegant cheongsam, many people can't help but take pictures of her.
She had clear, bright eyes, a fair and translucent complexion, and rosy lips, exuding a relaxed and carefree air.
Her gaze was extremely gentle, and when she looked at you, your heart would race.
She's like a beauty straight out of the old days.
With such a living advertisement, the flower shop's business is booming.
Li Xiu would go over when he had time.
He didn't dare put too much pressure on Jiang Tian; she was busy with her career, so he should take good care of her.
Because of his striking good looks, he always wore a mask when picking Jiang Tian up from get off work.
The florist's employees had long known that their boss had a boyfriend who was very handsome and caring. Rain or shine, they had never missed a day since the shop opened.
As the two spent more time together, their feelings for each other deepened. Apart from not taking the final step, their life together was as sweet as honey.
Everything seemed fine.
"Boss Jiang's business is really good. Many online celebrities come to your store to check in. Your place is almost becoming a tourist attraction."
As soon as Jiang Tian arrived at the shop, she heard that a customer had come to visit.
Customers who could usually see her didn't spend a lot of money. Jiang Tian glanced at the customer's name, hesitated briefly, and then went to see him.
The person who came was naturally Shao Jinghe.
Shao Jinghe has been lying low for a long time.
Some time ago, Li Xiu learned of his conversation with Jiang Tian, and that person then tried to kill him.
Several projects that Shao Jinghe was in charge of all went down the drain overnight.
He worked almost for nothing all year.
Shao Jinghe's father was extremely disappointed in his son, whose company had suffered losses of billions of yuan. However, the one who made the mistake was his son, so he could only swallow his anger and resentment.
Not long after, Shao Jinghe was sent to Africa.
Fortunately, Shao Jinghe did a good job there and was recently transferred back.
While in Africa, he never stopped observing Jiang Tian and Li Xiu's movements.
In his heart, no one could live with Li Xiu for a long time.
That huge villa, wasn't it also where Li Xiu lived?
Li Xiu's mental health issues, stemming from childhood, make him unable to accept others getting close to him.
Shao Jinghe thought Jiang Tian would be the same.
But he waited and waited in Africa, and the two of them still didn't break up.
They've actually been dating all this time!
Shao Jinghe's patience had run out.
He deliberately had his subordinates buy a lot of flowers, becoming a VIP at the flower shop, which gave him the right to meet Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian looked to be in very good health.
When Shao Jinghe first met her, she was lying in a hospital bed, extremely weak; now, with rosy lips and white teeth, and gentle eyes, she is clearly living a very good life.
However, since her kindness wasn't brought about by Shao Jinghe, it only made him feel bitter.
"It's alright. Mr. Shao, is there something important you need to discuss with me? I have another collaboration to discuss later, so I might not have much time."
Jiang Tian's tone was devoid of any emotion.
Shao Jinghe could not sense that the other party was very resistant to his arrival.
But the more Jiang Tian ignored him, the more he wanted to get closer to her.
"I won't waste your breath. I don't know how you got to this point with Li Xiu. But—I can't watch you struggle in this abyss. Here's a USB drive with some information about Li Xiu. Take a look and then decide whether you want to continue your relationship."
Shao Jinghe pushed a small box in front of Jiang Tian.
