Her tone was so calm.
As a manager of a group, Xie Linchuan, who was close to her, knew best how busy Jiang Tian was.
This is the kind of person who would spend her evenings working in her study, yet she was willing to cancel her busy schedule and take a few days off to visit the grave of her first love. What does this represent?
Xie Linchuan slowly clenched his fist.
His mind went blank after hearing Jiang Tian's answer.
Actually, I should have guessed it.
Jiang Tian is already 35 years old.
He was 20 years old, and she was 35.
The two were separated by 15 years.
He didn't know what Jiang Tian had gone through in those 15 years.
If Jiang Tian was able to build her own group from scratch, then nothing she does would surprise anyone.
The intensity of social competition is beyond description.
As a woman, Jiang Tian faces even greater discrimination in society, yet she has still carved out her own niche in the world.
She is undoubtedly a strong person.
The strong are always right.
Having a first love doesn't seem like a big deal.
That's what Xie Linchuan was thinking, but his whole body was trembling.
He watched the woman, who had finished answering and was still leisurely getting dressed and packing her bags, and some of his inner thoughts were about to burst forth.
Why.
Are they really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?
Didn't he figure it out during this time?
Others saw him as a parasite, but Jiang Tian saw him as a young man who wanted to gain benefits from her. Her willingness to help him showed her magnanimity and broad-mindedness.
But what kind of relationship do they have?
Perhaps there was no real affection involved; it was simply a matter of mutual benefit.
Wasn't he also approaching her with ulterior motives?
Therefore, he cannot inquire about her schedule.
She was willing to tell him, which was to save face for him.
If he continues to push his luck, then he is ungrateful.
A reckless and ignorant person won't stay by her side for long.
Even her driver knew exactly what to say and when.
In the end, Xie Linchuan chose to remain silent.
He still couldn't control his emotions, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Tian put on her hat, turned around and looked at him, and found that his face was somewhat ashen.
"Don't worry about so much. The person who is by my side now is you. My first love has been dead for many years, but we have a bond between us, so I have to go see him."
Jiang Tian's tone was nonchalant.
What kind of feelings could make her spend so much time there every year? Xie Linchuan didn't ask; he just smiled somewhat palely.
"Then I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay, you should focus on your studies and the competition, don't let your guard down."
Jiang Tian was guiding him entirely from the perspective of an elder.
Everyone would love to have a lover like that, right?
She was both wealthy and gentle. Despite the vast difference in their social status, she never intended to bully him. Instead, she constantly encouraged him to improve.
With the passage of time, her charm will only deepen.
Xie Linchuan should be content to have a place by her side, if only he could.
"Okay, don't worry. If, if there's anything you need me for, remember to give me a call."
Xie Linchuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke his mind.
Although he knew Jiang Tian probably wouldn't need him, why would she call him when she went to pay respects to her first love?
"Okay, don't worry, just remember to message me every day."
Jiang Tian smiled at him and left gracefully without looking back or showing any reluctance.
Xie Linchuan watched her leave, his heart feeling as if it were entangled in countless knots, none of which he could untangle.
He felt a tightness in his chest.
For him, there is no need to establish connections with anyone in this world.
He can survive on his own.
So even though his feelings had become so intense that they might affect his health if he didn't release them, he forced himself to swallow them back.
It's no big deal. He has no right to ask, nor does he need to.
The bond between two people is like a thin thread. If one of them crosses the line and breaks the thread, they will be separated forever.
Why would he take such a big risk to do something that would bring him no benefit whatsoever?
Since Jiang Tian had already instructed him to live a good life, he only needed to follow her orders.
They have a long future ahead of them.
Over the next few days, Xie Linchuan attended classes at the university as usual. He, who never went to the library before, also started going there.
During the competition, he was responsible for the main projects, so he couldn't slack off.
His teammates all admired him greatly and listened to his every word.
They're good at providing support.
However, Xie Linchuan still maintained a reserved attitude towards them.
He doesn't want to form deep connections with anyone except those he considers important.
Others just need to maintain a distant relationship with him.
Once you establish a deep connection with someone, it means endless trouble.
Xie Linchuan didn't want to waste his time dealing with these trivial interpersonal matters.
But some people just won't leave you alone.
After learning that her boyfriend was in grave danger, Qiao Fengran could hardly sleep at night.
She couldn't give up completely just because Xie Linchuan rejected her once.
She and Fu Mingche have been together for so many years, their tacit understanding needs no words.
She must ensure that Fu Mingche wins this battle.
Since Xie Linchuan is that secret weapon, Qiao Fengran is determined to get close to him, seize this weapon, and make it work for Fu Mingche.
She was determined to persuade Xie Linchuan.
Xie Linchuan's attitude towards Qiao Fengran was neither too good nor too bad.
He now treats her like a complete stranger.
At this moment, he subconsciously ignored the reason for the subtle change in his feelings for Qiao Fengran.
He simply turned his head expressionlessly as Qiao Fengran walked towards him, intending to walk away in another direction.
Qiao Fengran never expected that one day Xie Linchuan would avoid her like the plague.
"Xie Linchuan, wait a moment, I have something to talk to you about."
Qiao Fengran's tone contained a hint of pleading.
Any normal man would stop in his tracks and at least listen to what the goddess has to say if he saw her in such a pose.
But Xie Linchuan has never been a normal person.
His steps didn't stop; on the contrary, they quickened.
Qiao Fengran was so angry that her face turned pale.
One of her skills is manipulating men.
No one knows that Qiao Fengran's mother actually used some tricks to successfully marry her father—her father almost got together with another blind date at the time.
