Jiang Tian suddenly chuckled, and her smile made Zhou Yuncheng feel a little scared.
In fact, his mind is now blank.
He knew that from the moment he uttered those words, a deep wound had been inflicted between them.
He knew perfectly well that the other person liked him, but he never responded and even enjoyed the other person's kindness to him. Zhou Yuncheng himself had to admit that he was no good.
Even so, Zhou Yuncheng still didn't leave.
He didn't believe deep down that Jiang Tian would give up on their relationship.
After so many years of relationship... he had truly felt Jiang Tian's kindness towards him.
How could she suddenly change her mind?
Zhou Yuncheng was willing to wait and give it a try in order to reconcile with Zhou.
Jiang Tian laughed for a long time, and even laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Zhou Yuncheng felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He looked at Jiang Tian: "I'm sorry, I'll try my best to make it up to you in the future. Today I just want to know, do you truly want to get engaged to Duan Muqing? If you only agreed because you were forced, then no matter what, I will definitely help you break free from Duan Muqing's control. Don't worry, I—"
"No, it was my own choice. I like him."
Zhou Yuncheng's voice suddenly stopped.
He looked up at Jiang Tian in surprise and repeated her words: "...You like him?"
Jiang Tian did not deny it: "I have had a very pleasant time with him these days. He is very good to me. He is not like you, who is like a rock that cannot be warmed. When we are together, I can feel his care and concern for me. I am not young anymore, and his sincerity touched me, so naturally we should be together."
"Just because he's good to you, you want to get married? Do you know that this could be your happiness for the rest of your life?"
Zhou Yuncheng's tone suddenly turned angry.
"What right do you have to interfere with me?" Jiang Tian's voice was icy.
"I'm your friend, and I don't want you to step into a fire pit! Duan Muqing isn't an easy person to get along with. Do you know that he's actually a—"
"What am I?"
Before Zhou Yuncheng could finish speaking, Duan Muqing's voice suddenly rang out.
Zhou Yuncheng froze for a moment, then turned around, where Duan Muqing was standing not far away.
"It's really unexpected that Zhou Yuncheng, who is usually a gentleman, would speak ill of him behind his back."
Duan Muqing exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Yuncheng stared at him as if he were his enemy: "What exactly are you doing? Jiang Tian has never provoked you. Don't take revenge on her, and don't try to bind her with marriage."
"Are you sick? Marriage is a matter between the two of us, why do you need to worry about it? What do you mean by 'binding her'? Just because she didn't marry you doesn't mean she's a burden?"
"Zhou Yuncheng, I have to say this: you are a complete hypocrite. Have you broken up with Tao Xinrou? Does Jiang Tian even know you've come to see her?"
Duan Muqing hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.
Zhou Yuncheng suddenly fell silent.
He had already explained it to Tao Xinrou: perhaps he wasn't truly moved at the time, but rather it was a misconception of pity that led him to make the wrong judgment.
He wanted to give Tao Xinrou some money, regardless of whether she was studying or working, as long as she didn't bother him anymore.
The breakup between the two of them was the result he wanted.
But... it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.
Tao Xinrou is not so easy to please.
She is an ambitious girl, otherwise she wouldn't have taken such a risk.
The compensation strategy proposed by Zhou Yuncheng did not sway her.
She insisted on clinging to Zhou Yuncheng, refusing to let the relationship end.
During their time together, Zhou Yuncheng came to see her true colors.
He had long been utterly disappointed in this woman, and felt that he had been bewitched at the time.
He didn't want to delay his own affairs, but if Tao Xinrou kept delaying him, Zhou Yuncheng would take some extreme measures.
However, the two are still entangled and haven't reached that point yet.
Zhou Yuncheng couldn't bring himself to say that their relationship had ended.
His momentary lapse in speech said it all.
Duan Muqing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Zhou Yuncheng, seriously? You're such an incompetent rival for my affections? My rival should at least be someone with clean relationships. Look at you, what kind of person are you? I don't even want to talk to you anymore. As a former brother, I won't hit you. You should leave now, I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty."
