So, did he love Jiang Yu? He could also answer with absolute certainty, yes.

He truly loved Jiang Yu and was devoted to her.

But unfortunately, he loves himself more.

Shi Deming admitted that he fell in love with Jiang Yu because he was attracted by her at first sight.

This woman is really beautiful.

It is obviously a gentle face, but there is always a hint of coldness between her eyebrows, like the ice flowers blooming on the highest point of the snow cliff, which can be admired from a distance but not touched, tempting to pick them.

Shi Deming was no exception and wanted to be the flower picker.

High-end hunters often take the unexpected approach to hunting.

Shi Deming had expected that Jiang Yu would be unable to break through the defensive fence.

But he didn't expect that she could be so decisive.

After making up her mind to distance herself from him, she simply waved her hand to cut off all ties between them, and disappeared before his eyes without any reluctance.

Shi Deming's interests always come quickly and go away even faster.

He always maintained a bystander mentality to kill the morning light, and didn't care much whether to take a step forward or a step back.

So, when he found out his number was blocked, he didn't actually feel anything.

But the next few days.

It was like a strong aftereffect that slowly surged up to his heart and eroded into his entire body.

Jiang Yu's face began to appear involuntarily in his mind.

The way she looks when she is quiet, the way she looks when she frowns, the way she looks when she purses her lips and smiles faintly.

So he threw himself more and more into his work, trying to forget deliberately.

However, the results were not satisfactory.

He really cares about Jiang Yu.

When he realized this emotion belatedly, he was shocked and surprised.

But there is nothing to struggle about. If you like her, then go after her. After all, it's just a relationship.

During the pursuit, Shi Deming was sincere and Jiang Yu agreed because she was moved by his sincerity.

Shi Deming originally did not have long-term hopes for this relationship, but the more he talked, the more he fell deeply in love with Jiang Yu.

It was true that he gave up the arranged marriage, and it was also true that he told Jiang Yu that he would work hard to marry her. He was even prepared to fight to the end even if his family disagreed.

But no one had told him that before.

Choosing Jiang Yu means giving up everything, giving up everything he was born with.

Family, and property.

If he were stripped of his identities as the eldest son of the Shi family and the only heir to the Shi family, he would be nothing.

Shi Deming began to panic and become confused.

He was drunk but sober.

Because he knew what he would ultimately choose the moment the coin was tossed.

He simply couldn't give up wealth and fame, so he compromised and chose to follow his family's arrangements and enter into a business marriage.

But Shi Deming considered himself despicable because he wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

He couldn't live without Jiang Yu, and he knew Jiang Yu's personality very well, and knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to agree to be his secret lover.

But he still didn't want to let her go.

Because of the family business, Shi Deming had to travel back and forth between the two places.

Sometimes it was common for him to stay in Beijing for a long time, and Jiang Yu never doubted or asked about it.

So naturally, during that period, when Jiang Yu was a junior in college, he married the daughter of a well-known family.

Shi Deming concealed it very well.

He has a home in Beijing and also a home here.

The latter is the home he recognizes from the bottom of his heart, his and Jiang Yu's home.

A business marriage cannot be easily divorced because the businesses of the two families are already intertwined.

Shi Deming didn't want to go through this trouble. He had never thought about getting married quietly without telling Jiang Yu, and then leaving quietly when he was grown up, so that he could just be with Jiang Yu in the end.

What he thought from the beginning to the end was that he and Jiang Yu would live happily together. If she liked children, they could have them. He would treat the children well after they were born, and they could make plans for the future later.

In short, he didn't want to lose Jiang Yu.

But as the old saying goes, truth will come to light sooner or later.

Finally one day, the terrifying dark clouds hanging above our heads roared with thunder.

Jiang Yu was distraught and threw a mobile phone at him with red eyes, questioning how his wedding photo could be included in the photo.

Maybe there is a cycle of cause and effect in the world.

I still remember that Shi Deming helped Jiang Yu punish that plagiarizing roommate, whose family was of some note.

Once, when he went with his family to a banquet held by aristocratic families in Beijing, he saw Shi Deming, who used to be Jiang Yu's boyfriend, hugging a strange woman at the banquet.

Outsiders respectfully call them Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi. They have been married for several years and have a son.

In order to avenge the humiliation he suffered in the past, the roommate mercilessly tore through the unbearable gauze in front of Jiang Yu.

When Shi Deming knew that he could no longer hide it, his first words were not to rush to explain and admit his mistake to Jiang Yu.

But after a long silence.

Then she let out a long sigh and said that, just as she saw it, he had married someone else several years ago.

Shi Deming looked at Jiang Yu with a very calm gaze and spoke.

"Xiaoyu, now that things have come to this, I can't regret it, but we have been very happy these past few years, right? Wouldn't it be good to continue like this? Apart from a certificate, you can have whatever you want. Don't worry about those unimportant things. Our relationship can remain the same as before."

…

Jiang Yu’s adoptive mother had indeed protected Jiang Yu too well.

She keeps away from troubles, smoothes out the rough spots for her, and makes complicated things simple for her.

Jiang Yu grew up in a greenhouse in the first half of his life and never suffered any major setbacks.

Therefore, when a slightly more serious setback really comes, it will be a devastating blow to Jiangyu.

The news that "Jiang Yu is a mistress" spread widely.

In the former school and current workplace, everyone is talking about Jiang Yu.

There was a harsh tone in his words and a look of contempt in his eyes when he looked at her.

Every word and every sentence pierced Jiang Yu's body accurately, drawing blood.

Jiang Yu argued again and again that she was not a mistress, she was not.

No one believed it at all.

Thus, the former academic belle, the cold and aloof goddess, the dazzling and eye-catching talented girl, fell from the altar, fell from the clouds, and was soaked in dirty mud.

Jiang Yu felt like he could hardly breathe and his whole body ached. He couldn't tell where it hurt, but it just hurt a lot, a pain that came from the gaps between his bones.

She almost fled the city.

She escaped to a small place that was hard to see on the map and no one knew her.

Jiang Yu's self-loathing reached its peak.

And just when she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, she discovered that she was pregnant.
