Su Yan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Brother Jiang, our social statuses are vastly different. Do you think your family would agree to us being together? I don't want my family to suffer any harm because of me."
Furthermore, I'm not a caged bird. Don't overestimate my naivety and innocence. Aren't you afraid I'm just playing hard to get?
Hearing this, Jiang Jingxing couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Just because you can say something like that, I can be sure you're not that kind of person."
“I know what you’re worried about, but I want you to rest assured that no one can stop me from making this decision, and I will never let my parents or family hurt your family. If I fail to do so, you can leave me at any time.”
"That's easy for you to say." Su Yan couldn't believe him.
In just two days in Beijing, she had already witnessed how crazy this man's suitors were, and she dared not take the risk before she was ready to make her own way.
To be precise, it's because they don't dare to risk their families' lives.
"That's why I want you to trust me; I'll definitely handle these troubles well." Jiang Jingxing said slowly, "Su Yan, you like me too, right?"
Su Yan was stunned, then her mind suddenly cleared.
She hadn't thought about it that way because she had been avoiding the man's feelings.
So, was she angry and upset this morning because she was jealous?
“I…” She didn’t know what to say.
"You just like me." Her hesitation gave the man on the other end of the phone the courage to affirm.
"Su Yan, give me a chance to prove myself. If I do anything that displeases you, you can leave me anytime."
His gentle voice seemed to carry a deadly allure, luring her step by step into the trap he had laid, making her sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.
Su Yan bit her lip, her eyes filled with struggle.
Having been given a second chance at life, she originally didn't want to waste her time on romance.
I'm also afraid that I won't meet a good person and will end up hurting myself.
From the moment she met Jiang Jingxing until now, everything he did gave her a sense of reliability, making her believe that this man was steady and mature enough, and also came from a good family.
After a long silence, she gave a reason for rejecting him without much confidence: "You are so old, and I am only 18. I haven't even started university yet. I don't want to enter the grave so early... into marriage."
The man smiled slightly and asked, "Ah Yan, are you playing hard to get with me right now?"
"I didn't!" She nearly bit her tongue.
"I will respect your wishes, and I'm not in a hurry to get married. Look how much I've accommodated you, how can you still bear to keep rejecting me?" The man's voice sounded very aggrieved.
Su Yan: "..."
This damn man, how come he can't stand the smell of cooking oil?
Having run out of options, she deliberately put on airs and said, "Let me make this clear beforehand: if you don't satisfy me, I'll leave you immediately, and you're not allowed to pester me."
Jiang Jingxing readily agreed, "Okay!"
He wouldn't give her a chance to escape.
"So you're agreeing?" he asked again.
Su Yan: "Yes, from now on, we are a couple."
She admitted that she couldn't help but be attracted to a man like Jiang Jingxing.
It's just dating anyway, who can predict the future?
Now that she's thought it through, she's not the type to be indecisive or wishy-washy.
Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Jingxing's brows relaxed, and his mood instantly brightened.
"So, girlfriend, is there anything you can do to help me now?" he asked jokingly.
"Yes." Su Yan didn't stand on ceremony and briefly explained her grandmother's condition, then told him Zou Jialun's suggestion, "Now we need Commander Jiang to step in and find an experienced doctor for my grandmother, is that alright?"
"Sure, but I have one condition."
"What?"
“I’m not entirely satisfied with the titles ‘Commander Jiang’ and ‘Brother Jiang.’ If you can make me happy, I guarantee I’ll complete the mission,” Jiang Jingxing said.
Su Yan: "..."
She gritted her teeth, really wanting to tell him, "I'm extremely dissatisfied with you right now," but what could she do when he was more capable than her?!
What do you want me to call you?
Jiang Jingxing said, "Tell me one first."
Su Yan cursed inwardly, but said aloud, "Brother Jingxing?"
"No, brother."
Adding a brother is like a constant reminder that he's an old cow eating young grass.
Su Yan asked, feeling extremely embarrassed, "Jing Xing?"
Before the man could speak, she angrily warned, "Don't push your luck!"
Jiang Jingxing smiled and said, "Okay, call me that from now on."
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Then I'll hang up now, phone calls are expensive, bye-bye."
She hung up immediately after speaking, leaned against the wall of the phone booth, slowly closed her eyes, and felt her heart beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
She felt like she was dreaming.
How did you end up in a relationship?
Her mind was in a jumble until she left the phone booth.
Hearing the busy tone on the receiver, Jiang Jingxing reluctantly put down the phone, feeling extremely pleased.
"Knock knock!"
A knock came at the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open.
Wang Xiaoxin walked in and said, "Commander Jiang, Chen Yuwei has confessed."
Jiang Jingxing agreed readily, saying, "Then let her go. From now on, no one unrelated to the group is allowed to come in."
Wang Xiaoxin was dumbfounded.
That's all?
He suddenly began to doubt whether the Jiang Tuan who had been so furious that morning was the same person standing before him.
Of course, he dared not say it.
Wang Xiaoxin responded and silently left.
Just a second before the door slammed shut, he vaguely heard the aloof and icy Jiang Tuan humming a tune?!
Wang Xiaoxin: The sky has fallen!! Jiang Tuan has changed!!
In the evening, Jiang Jingxing finished his work and drove back to the Jiang family home.
When they arrived home, Grandpa Jiang had just woken up. Apart from Mr. Jue, the only other people at the Jiang family home responsible for Grandpa Jiang's safety were there.
Jiang Changzheng and Qin Qin were not there; the maid said the couple had gone out early in the morning.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Jiang Jingxing's eyes.
While Grandpa was still asleep, they came to visit more and more frequently than anyone else.
Now that I know the poison is cured, I can go out and have fun without worry.
Knowing who they were, Jiang Jingxing didn't say much and went upstairs.
Pushing open the door, I saw Grandpa Jiang drinking his medicine.
Upon seeing Jiang Jingxing return, Old Master Jiang coughed twice in delight and said, "You just finished your vacation and you're back today. Be careful that others don't find fault with you."
Jiang Jingxing took the medicine from Mr. Jue and said to him, "I'll take care of Grandpa. You should go and rest too."
Mr. Jue said without ceremony, "Alright, call me if you need anything."
Only the grandfather and grandson remained in the room.
Grandpa Jiang is still very weak and has little strength, so he needs someone to feed him his medicine.
After feeding him the medicine, Jiang Jingxing said, "Grandpa, I came back to tell you something."
