Duan Muqing was somewhat puzzled: "What did you see?"
"I like Zhou Yuncheng."
Duan Muqing chuckled: "Not many people can't see it, right? You ignore everyone else, but the moment you see Zhou Yuncheng, you go over to him. We're not stupid."
"Did Zhou Yuncheng figure it out?"
Duan Muqing was about to nod when she suddenly slammed on the brakes: "I don't know. I'm an outsider, while you two are insiders. Who knows if he's seen through it all?"
"Mm." Jiang Tian nodded slightly.
"What are you 'uh'ing about? I'm here today to ask you a straight question: are you willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light?"
Duan Muqing believed that these marriages between families were purely exchanges of interests, so he didn't bother to hide it.
Jiang Tian was completely infatuated with Zhou Yuncheng. Even with a world-class superstar right in front of her, she wouldn't even blink. What was the point of having a heart-to-heart talk with her? Duan Muqing wasn't stupid.
Jiang Tian looked at him quietly and slowly shook her head: "As long as he still needs me, I will stay by his side."
Duan Muqing cursed inwardly, then couldn't help but ask, "Are you stupid?"
Jiang Tian was much calmer than him: "I like him, he needs me, and I can always be by his side. Isn't that good?"
Duan Muqing scratched her head in annoyance: "So, if Zhou Yuncheng doesn't get married one day, you'll have to be his lapdog?"
Jiang Tian nodded gently: "I just want to see him doing well."
Duan Muqing swore again.
He was looking at Jiang Tian as if she were an alien.
Is this person possessed by an evil spirit?
What's so great about Zhou Yuncheng that she needs to keep chasing after him?
"I will keep your visit to me a secret for now. If you want to find a suitable marriage partner, then please ask your uncle and aunt to help you find one. I can't do anything about it."
Jiang Tian spoke slowly and deliberately, but her underlying meaning was one of refusal.
Duan Muqing wanted to laugh but couldn't. He was incredibly curious: "Can you tell me what it is about Zhou Yuncheng that attracts you?"
Jiang Tian's eyes glazed over for a moment, then she said seriously, "All of them."
…………
"Zhou Yuncheng, you're really something. How did you manage to be so infatuated with her? Let me be frank with you, no one in my family looks good to anyone but Jiang Tian. If you're a man, go and make things clear to Jiang Tian, don't waste her time."
Jiang Tian had said she would cover for him, and then Duan Muqing told Zhou Yuncheng the whole conversation between the two of them verbatim.
Zhou Yuncheng paused when he heard the word "all".
Actually, he had already figured it out: Jiang Tian liked him.
He had liked other people before, and he knew how intense those gazes could be.
However, he had to admit that Jiang Tian couldn't attract him.
People need attraction to come together.
At first, he admired Jiang Tian's talent and became friends with her.
Even now, it is because of her talent and understanding that he is willing to remain friends with her.
Zhou Yuncheng couldn't feel that kind of romantic tension between a man and a woman from Jiang Tian.
"What are you daydreaming about? Don't try to have your cake and eat it too. You've already wasted several years of Jiang Tian's life. Are you really going to continue like this?"
Duan Muqing asked him.
Zhou Yuncheng hesitated for a moment before speaking: "If we look at her from a friend's perspective, she is a very good person. If we point it out, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
He didn't want Jiang Tian as a lover, but he cherished her as a friend.
At first he hesitated and pretended not to know, but later he simply ignored it.
He hated being controlled in his marriage, and Jiang Tian was a good shield for him, and she never made any demands on him.
Enjoying this rare moment of tolerance, Zhou Yuncheng indulged his selfishness.
It's been dragged on and on until now.
Duan Muqing laughed in anger: "You're really disgusting. You know she likes you, yet you keep giving her false hope. I don't care what you do, since I'm planning to marry Jiang Tian, you'd better break up with her!"
If Duan Muqing hadn't pointed it out, Zhou Yuncheng probably wouldn't have brought it up on his own initiative.
He didn't have many friends, and Jiang Tian was one of them.
She always knew exactly what he needed, helped him, and encouraged him. Without Jiang Tian, Zhou Yuncheng would definitely feel uncomfortable.
However, Duan Muqing was right.
We're all not young people in our twenties anymore. If Jiang Tian continues to waste her time, it would be irresponsible of her life.
"Wait for me to find an opportunity to explain things to her."
Duan Muqing was finally satisfied: "Then hurry up."
"Um."
The conversation between the two ended there.
Jiang Tian continued living her previous life, managing the coffee shop, reading books, and living a leisurely and peaceful life.
Zhou Yuncheng said he would look for an opportunity, but he hasn't found one yet.
He was not an indecisive person, but his long-standing friendship with Jiang Tian made him have to treat her with caution.
He was still trying to find a way to achieve both goals: to keep their friendship intact while allowing Jiang Tian to return to her true self.
This is quite difficult.
