She was very focused when she worked, and Zhou Yancheng had to admit that she looked very charming at that moment.
After about two hours, Jiang Tian finished her work. She stretched and looked at Zhou Yancheng, who was not far from her.
Would you like some water? Or some fruit?
Zhou Yancheng shook his head and asked her, "Can I ask you a question?"
Jiang Tian blinked: "Okay."
"You have a job and don't need to depend on others, so why did you choose to marry Chen Fenglie back then?"
Zhou Yancheng realized that Jiang Tian was constantly redefining his understanding of things.
Seeing her working, Zhou Yancheng suddenly felt a little sorry for her.
Even if she married an ordinary person, she wouldn't have been a shadow for seven years like she did with Chen Fenglie.
"Why would you ask that?" Jiang Tian didn't answer immediately, but instead asked in return.
"I'm a little curious. If you feel uncomfortable answering, you don't have to."
"Because I was at the Jiang family at the time, Mrs. Jiang was plotting to make me the third wife of a 59-year-old Hong Kong businessman. Plus, I was love-struck, and when Chen Fenglie was nice to me after breaking up with Jiang Qing, I thought he liked me. I was quite envious when he was nice to Jiang Qing."
“My main value in the Jiang family is marriage. If it wasn’t Chen Fenglie, it would have been someone else. I just find him more agreeable.”
Zhou Yancheng asked her, "Can't we escape?"
“I ran away once in high school and my dad broke four of my ribs. I was still in the hospital when I took the college entrance exam. My dad knows a lot of people from all walks of life, so it would be easy for him to bring me back. He is also extremely concerned about his reputation. If his daughter runs away, it means she is not doing well. How could he tolerate that?”
"Besides, he still has a lot of things that my mother left me, and he keeps holding onto them and won't give them to me... So I became more obedient. Maybe I should learn to protect myself before talking about anything else."
Zhou Yancheng looked at Jiang Tian. Although she didn't seem to care, he could imagine how much she had sacrificed to escape when she was young.
"Was marrying me also a result of weighing the pros and cons?"
Jiang Tian didn't answer, but raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Aren't you the same? Rather than going back to the Jiang family to jail after a divorce or marrying another old man, I'd rather be your roommate in this little house."
Zhou Yancheng suddenly smiled: "You really are different from when we met you."
"If I don't act a little vulnerable when we meet, you might not accept me so quickly."
Jiang Tian seemed quite frank.
Zhou Yancheng thought that was indeed the case; he had always been very wary of others.
But he didn't dislike her personality.
"Alright, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Jiang Tian stood up, and her long, slender, white legs occupied most of Zhou Yancheng's view as he sat there.
He subtly shifted his gaze: "Just grab something to eat."
"It's difficult to be casual, but I will try my best to make you satisfied."
Jiang Tian got up and went to get busy, and Zhou Yancheng could see her every time he glanced to the side.
The originally small house suddenly felt warm and inviting.
Zhou Yancheng leaned his head back on the sofa, and without realizing it, he relaxed and fell asleep.
In his sleep, he sensed someone approaching. His long-standing vigilance made him quickly reach out and grab the person's wrist, moving from below to above, firmly locking the other person in place.
After completing a series of actions, Zhou Yancheng finally opened his eyes.
Then, he met Jiang Tian's startled gaze.
At this moment, Jiang Tian was pinned beneath him, her snow-white wrists gripped tightly and raised above her head, while he pressed her down firmly.
Their breaths mingled, and Zhou Yancheng suddenly forgot what he was supposed to do next.
My gaze traveled from Jiang Tian's fair face to her delicate collarbone, and then...
The temperature is rising inch by inch...
"Um... let me go..."
This position clearly made Jiang Tian very uncomfortable; Zhou Yancheng's nose was too close to hers.
Zhou Yancheng then seemed to wake from a dream and immediately released Jiang Tian.
"sorry."
He was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.
Was he being controlled just now?
it turns out……
"It's okay, I understand. People like you should have been trained when they were young. It's also my fault for being too arrogant; I just wanted to tease you..."
Jiang Tian rubbed her wrist, not forgetting to comfort Zhou Yancheng.
Zhou Yancheng opened his mouth, but said nothing.
At the dinner table, Jiang Tian continued to use serving chopsticks to pick up food for him, just as she always did.
"I learned to cook especially for you so you wouldn't dislike me. I'll be sad if you don't try it."
Zhou Yancheng would eat almost anything Jiang Tian picked up, but Jiang Tian could still sense his absent-mindedness.
Is something the matter?
Zhou Yancheng's eyes flickered as he wondered if he was possessed.
Always towards Jiang Tian...
"It's nothing."
"All right."
Jiang Tian was sensible and didn't ask any further questions.
Zhou Yancheng also put these emotions aside for the time being because of a phone call.
Realizing the phone call was important, Jiang Tian went into the bedroom, closed the door, and left the living room to him.
"Zhou, when do you plan to make your move?"
Zhou Yancheng's expression was solemn: "It will take some more time."
"Alright. You've been playing the innocent rabbit for too long. Don't forget, you're still the head of TG Group."
"Um."
As the two were talking, Jiang Tian received a phone call, gestured to him, and hurriedly went out.
Zhou Yancheng subconsciously followed her figure.
"Zhou? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Zhou Yancheng snapped out of his daze: "Go on."
It was half an hour later when the two people finished making the calls.
Jiang Tian has not returned yet.
Zhou Yancheng glanced at his watch and continued browsing the documents.
