Psst! We're moving!
Chen Yinuo felt like a fish on a chopping board, struggling for life.
At this moment, Shen Tang was wielding a knife, aiming to chop her.
She didn’t know if her father would be heartbroken and put her back in the water for a new life, or if he would stand by idly and let Shen Tang slaughter her.
Chen Yinuo stared intently at her father, her hands clenched so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.
Whether it hurt or not was no longer her concern.
Compared to her nervousness, Shen Tang was calm and composed, her back straight, watching Chen Nanjin as if observing a play.
Chen Nanjin seemed momentarily dazed. “Are you planning to have Chu Ran act in it?”
Shen Tang: “Yes.”
She lowered her head to look at her watch, a hint of impatience on her face, as if she was timing him.
“Dad,” Chen Yinuo called out.
She said nothing else, just called him in the same tone she used as a child.
Chen Nanjin turned his head, speaking to Shen Tang, “Alright, I’ll tell Zhou Mingqian to let Chu Ran act in it.”
With a loud ‘thud,’ Chen Yinuo was brutally struck, fish blood splattering the chopping board, flowing everywhere.
This blow tore at her heart.
Chen Yinuo sneered twice. She had never felt so ridiculous. The last time in her father’s office, she had begged him, and he had only said he would recommend her to Zhou Mingqian.
But now, he was so certain, letting Chu Ran play the role.
So his spoken love was utterly fake, not worth a single penny.
Chen Yinuo flung her sleeve and left.
Chen Nanjin didn’t chase after her. He leaned back in his seat, looking at the empty runway.
After a moment, he sent a message to Zhou Mingqian: [Let Chu Ran star in “How Should I Love You?”. She’s quite suitable for the role, being a dance major originally.]
Zhou Mingqian was puzzled. [Who exactly do you want to cast? One moment it’s Chen Yinuo, then it’s an artist from Shen Tang’s company?]
Chen Nanjin didn’t explain much: [Chu Ran.]
Zhou Mingqian was still confused. [You change your mind every day. Don’t tell me tomorrow that Chen Yinuo is actually more suitable.]
Chen Nanjin: [I’m at the Time Fashion Show right now. Both of them are here.]
Zhou Mingqian understood. This was a meeting with his two daughters, and Chen Yinuo and Shen Tang had argued face-to-face, forcing Chen Nanjin to make a choice.
He told Chen Nanjin, [Even without your recommendation, I was planning to use Chu Ran. Her image and temperament are suitable, and Shen Tang also intends to invest in this drama.]
Chen Nanjin didn’t expect Shen Tang to be grateful for the role he gave her. She just wanted him to make a clear choice, to vent her anger.
The fashion show lasted for three hours, and Shen Tang watched attentively, carefully observing every outfit and every dress, casually taking pictures of the ones she liked with her phone.
Time Apparel’s haute couture was relatively affordable, and some of their designs were not much inferior to L’s haute couture.
However, Chen Nanjin watched a frustrating show and found not a single bit of inspiration.
As the fashion show was nearing its end, he approached Shen Tang. “When the show is over, let’s go for a late-night snack together, Dad will treat you.”
Shen Tang looked back at the photos she had taken. “I’m busy.”
Chen Nanjin: “Then when you’re free.”
He looked at the stage, his eyes unfocused.
In the past six months, he often thought of his father’s words: ‘I don’t ask you to be kind to our Tangtang, but don’t bully her either. You are her father, and she has longed for you for so many years.’
Every word pierced his heart.
He didn’t know if, twenty-five years later, she would be willing to forgive him and call him “Dad.”
When the show ended, Shen Tang left from the other side, not even looking at him.
Chen Nanjin waited for Chen Yinuo outside the venue, along the roadside leading to the parking lot, a section Chen Yinuo had to pass.
From a distance, Chen Yinuo saw her father.
She walked each step with resentment, her eyes red.
Cars and people were coming and going here. Chen Nanjin: “Let’s talk in the car.”
Chen Yinuo didn’t even look at her father. “There’s nothing to talk about.”
Chen Nanjin threw his cigarette butt into the trash can. “Yinuo, after you hear what Dad has to say, whatever you want to do in the future is your freedom. Dad will never interfere.”
Chen Yinuo felt a chill in her heart; her father had never been so resolute.
The father and daughter sat in Chen Yinuo’s car.
The matter had been laid bare, so there was no need to build up any pretense of affection.
Chen Nanjin spoke earnestly, “Yinuo, you weren’t like this before. Don’t be influenced by your mother. I shouldn’t speak ill of your mother after our divorce, but if I don’t say anything, you’ll be completely led astray by her.”
Chen Yinuo laughed, full of sarcasm. “You’re biased towards Shen Tang, so just be biased. Don’t try to find excuses for your favoritism.”
“Yinuo, as a father, I have a clear conscience regarding you. You’re no longer a six or seven-year-old child needing to compete for parental affection.
Chen Yinuo spoke confidently, “That means you made me feel insecure, that’s why I’m like this. Who doesn’t know that dignity is good? Do you think I want to pressure you again and again? You don’t know how sad I am watching you be unconditionally good to Shen Tang. You won’t understand; you only care about Shen Tang.”
Chen Nanjin retorted, “When has my kindness to you ever been conditional?”
Chen Yinuo had no counter-argument.
“Today’s matter, if you had shown Dad a little more consideration, it wouldn’t have led to Dad being publicly humiliated.” If he had to, Chen Nanjin didn’t want to speak so unkindly, but if he continued to indulge her, she would eventually become as unreasonable as Fan Yu.
“Yinuo, you no longer see me as a father, but as a tool you use to hurt Tangtang. Don’t let our father-daughter bond turn sour.”
Chen Yinuo suddenly fell silent.
“As for favoring Tangtang tonight, I don’t deny it. If you continue to be like this in the future, I will still favor her. I told you before, you are both my children, and my love is the same. I used to give you more and didn’t give her anything, so in the future, I will definitely compensate her twofold, and what I give you will naturally be less.”
Chen Nanjin tilted his head to look at her. “If you ask me who is more important in my heart, you or Tangtang, it’s like asking which is more important, my left eye or my right eye?”
Chen Yinuo felt a pang in her heart. “But you’re still biased towards her in your heart, no matter how she treats you, you never hold it against her.”
Chen Nanjin: “There’s nothing I can do. I owe her, and there’s too much guilt and self-reproach. I watched you grow up. Regardless, Dad loves you and wants you to be happy. I still stand by what I said: your mother and I are divorced, but I’m still your dad, your support at all times.”
He offered her advice: “You’re old enough now; you don’t need to live with your parents anymore. Didn’t I give you an apartment? Learn to be independent on your own.”
Chen Yinuo had long wanted to move out, but her mother said she would feel lonely at home, and Chen Yinuo couldn’t bear to see her mother like that, so she had delayed moving.
Chen Nanjin spoke some words upfront: “If you feel your mother is wrong, you must firmly stick to your own path. Otherwise, sooner or later, our father-daughter relationship will break down, and I won’t be able to treat you with the same unconditional acceptance as I do Tangtang, because I owe you nothing. You are only twenty-four years old. I have paved your entire life’s path. Cherish it well.”
“Yinuo, you used to be a very carefree young lady.”
After sitting in the car for another two minutes, he pushed open the door and got out.
________________________________________
Returning to her residence, Chen Yinuo spent a sleepless night.
The next day, Shen Tang and Chu Ran returned to Beijing.
This trip was fruitful. Chu Ran’s outfits conveyed the temperament the designers desired, and Time showed interest in more forms of collaboration with Chu Ran.
Shen Tang went directly back to the office from the airport, where Sister Li and Yuanyuan were present.
Sister Li had just secured a commercial event for Chu Ran and was discussing with Chu Ran what gown would be suitable to wear.
“Sister Tang, have some herbal tea,” Yuanyuan brought her a perfectly cooled cup of tea. “Oh, by the way, I received a very strange email today, applying for the general manager position. The resume was also very peculiar. I don’t know if it’s a prank.”
Shen Tang sat down, without time to take a sip of tea. “Let me see it.”
Yuanyuan had already printed out the resume. “Here, look at this.” She pointed to the applicant’s education background section for Shen Tang to see.
XXXX September 1st -- XXXX June 30th Kindergarten (PS: Same kindergarten as Jiang Chengyu, he was my senior.)
XXXX September 1st -- XXXX June 30th Elementary School (When I was in first grade, Jiang Chengyu was in fifth grade. PS: The spicy strips he ate were all brought by me.)
Shen Tang finished reading and laughed.
She then looked at the name field, Qin Xing, with his ID photo attached. His features were handsome, young, and charming, but his serious expression now looked a bit comical.
Shen Tang dialed the phone number left on the resume, which had a repeating five-digit suffix.
He answered instantly. “Sister-in-law, what are your instructions?”
It turned out he had already saved her number.
Shen Tang: “I’m looking at your resume.”
“Really?” Qin Xing said, smiling. “This is my first resume, handmade. Since it reached your hands, it seems to have survived the competition and emerged victorious.”
He didn’t treat himself as an outsider. “What day do I start work?”
Shen Tang looked at such an outlandish resume, thinking he was just playing a prank. She casually said, “Report for duty tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow then.” Qin Xing hung up the phone.
He was in Jiang Chengyu’s office, taking a piece of chocolate from the secretary’s desk. “Brother Jiang, Shen Tang told me to start work tomorrow, so I’m going.”
Jiang Chengyu instructed him, “When she throws a tantrum or messes up, don’t try to reason with her directly. Wait until she’s vented her grievances, then remind her a few things.”
Qin Xing made an ‘OK’ gesture. He handed the share transfer agreement back to Jiang Chengyu. “I can’t accept this. You’ve given me so many investments over the years. This way, you’re not treating me as one of your own.”
Jiang Chengyu: “If you take my shares, you’ll have money to invest in the film and television company later. You’re running your own business now; you can’t always ask your parents for money. Do something good for yourself.”
Qin Xing was silent for a long time. “Then I won’t be polite. When I make a fortune at the film and television company, I’ll pay you back with interest.”
________________________________________
The next day, before eight o’clock, Qin Xing arrived at the temporary office. He had intended to be the first person in the company, but when he went upstairs, he saw that Shen Tang was even earlier than him.
“Sister-in-law, good morning.”
Shen Tang was brewing coffee and looked up at him.
Qin Xing was wearing dress pants and a shirt today. He leaned against the window-side table, the diamond cufflink on his shirt reflecting the dazzling morning light, making him look energetic.
Even his leather shoes were new.
“I even got a haircut,” Qin Xing shed his usual frivolousness and sloppy appearance, looking completely transformed.
Shen Tang handed him a cup of coffee, surprised that he had actually shown up for work.
“Are you doing this on a whim, or are you serious about working? Qin Xing, if you act like this, I’ll take it seriously,” she began to talk to him seriously.
Qin Xing found the coffee bitter and tore open a few sugar packets to put inside.
A few years ago, he might have found it amusing, but now it was different. He was twenty-seven or twenty-eight; if he didn’t do something to show his family, his marriage might be completely out of his hands.
Living a life of debauchery, feeling like a zombie when sober, it was boring.
“General Manager Shen--”
He no longer jokingly called her sister-in-law. “I have a lot of flaws, but I can also pick out one or two strengths. When I set my mind on something, I’ll stick with it to the end.”
Qin Xing stirred his coffee, and with one hand, he took out a pre-prepared bank card from his bag, with the password written and taped onto the card.
This was his sincerity.
“Ask Sister Li to process the equity transfer as soon as possible and add my name as a shareholder.”
Having a share in the company would make things easier for him; then he could legitimately use his connections to find resources.
Shen Tang didn’t waste any more words. “Then, happy cooperation.”
She took the card and gave it to Sister Li.
After a brief morning meeting, everyone got busy with their own tasks.
Sister Li was going to sign the contract with Zhou Mingqian today, confirming Chu Ran as the female lead in “How Should I Love You?”. The new drama wouldn’t start filming until October.
Recently, there was a suitable variety show for Wen Di. After signing Chu Ran’s contract, she also had to go and negotiate Wen Di’s contract with the organizers.
Her day was packed.
Shen Tang was going to check the renovation progress at the new company today, planning to move in by mid-next month.
“I’ll go with you. I don’t even know the address of the new office yet,” Qin Xing picked up his car keys. “I’ll take you there.”
“Sister Tang,” Yuanyuan called her. “Many people are coming for interviews today. Aren’t you staying here to supervise?”
Shen Tang put on her bag. “You, the HR manager, can handle it.”
Yuanyuan’s face crumpled. “I’m not confident.”
Shen Tang thought for a few seconds, then looked towards the bodyguard waiting at the office door to go out with her. “You don’t need to follow me today. Stay here and support Yuanyuan. You’re always good at reading people.”
Bodyguard: “...”
Yuanyuan almost couldn’t close her mouth, quickly grabbing her cup to drink water and hide her reaction.
Outside the office, Qin Xing frowned slightly because the bodyguard was wearing sunglasses, so he couldn’t confirm if he had seen him before. “Your bodyguard, he looks a bit familiar.”
“I saw him around Brother Jiang a few years ago.”
However, Jiang Chengyu had several bodyguards, so he wasn’t entirely sure.
Shen Tang took out her sunglasses from her bag. “He used to be Jiang Chengyu’s bodyguard, and then he came to me.”
Just as I thought.
Qin Xing pressed the elevator button. Having nothing else to do, he chatted about the bodyguard. He spent his days in clubs and knew a thing or two about reading people. He had noticed something as soon as Shen Tang spoke.
“Are you planning to be a matchmaker?”
“Whether it works out is hard to say. My bodyguard is a cold-blooded animal; he lived on the edge for the first thirty years of his life.” Shen Tang put her sunglasses on her nose. “But now that even Jiang Chengyu is willing to get married, there’s nothing impossible in this world.”
Qin Xing laughed heartily.
That was a bit harsh to say.
When they reached the underground parking lot, Shen Tang saw two sports cars and understood why Qin Xing was holding the car keys himself.
The flamboyant red sports car was particularly flashy in the entire parking lot.
Shen Tang then looked at Qin Xing’s outfit and found it truly incongruous.
Qin Xing opened the driver’s side door, holding the door frame. “My cars are either sports cars or SUVs. Today is a restricted day for certain license plates, so only this car can be driven out.”
For future business negotiations, he had ordered a low-key, stable sedan, which would only arrive next month.
He made a gesture to invite her. “You drive today. I want to experience General Manager Shen’s driving skills.”
Shen Tang pointed to her stiletto heels and sat in the passenger seat. Her driving skills were average, and she wasn’t familiar with the performance of this sports car.
Qin Xing had no choice but to drive himself. After starting the car, he asked Shen Tang where the new company had rented its office.
Shen Tang fastened her seatbelt and told him the exact address.
Qin Xing smiled when he heard the address, saying nothing, and gently pressed the accelerator.
The new office was not far from Jingxu Building, only about ten minutes’ walk, located on a main road.
The office buildings on this road were extremely valuable. When he arrived, he realized that Shen Tang had actually rented an entire floor.
The company logo was already done, and it looked grand.
Passing by a large office, Shen Tang stood at the doorway. “This will be your office from now on.”
The office had two large floor-to-ceiling windows, making it bright and airy. It included an office area, a reception area, a leisure and entertainment area, and even a small resting room inside.
Including the interior and exterior, it was at least over a hundred square meters.
Qin Xing suddenly felt his back straighten. For all these years, besides indulging in pleasure and extravagance, he seemed to have done nothing serious.
He had once thought he would just muddle through life.
Looking at the nameplate on the office door, “General Manager’s Office.” Finally, when his childhood friends came to visit him, he could hold his head high.
“What about your office?” Qin Xing asked.
Shen Tang pointed to the other side; her office was a bit smaller than this one.
She wasn’t responsible for external socializing, so the size of the office didn’t matter.
Shen Tang led Qin Xing in another direction. The sounds of renovation were incessant, and they had to speak louder than usual to be heard.
As they passed each office, Qin Xing looked at them carefully. The renovation was almost complete, only lacking office furniture. From the innermost room, the sound of a power drill came. “What’s that room being installed?”
Shen Tang: “It’s a comprehensive practice room. Besides rehearsal space, it also has a small stage. All instruments and equipment will be fully provided there. It’s twice the size of your office.”
It was for the company’s artists.
She came today to check the renovation progress of the practice room. The office didn’t matter; it could be used no matter how it was decorated. The practice room had high requirements, especially for soundproofing. When there were events requiring rehearsal, it couldn’t disturb the companies upstairs and downstairs.
The workers were all busy with their tasks. Shen Tang had visited several times during the renovation, so they recognized her and didn’t specifically greet her.
Shen Tang was only focused on checking the ceiling’s false ceiling. She didn’t pay attention to her steps and stepped into a spot where the hollow part hadn’t been dealt with yet. Her foot twisted, and she instinctively reached out to steady herself against the wall.
Qin Xing turned his head and saw the person who had lost her balance and was about to fall. He rushed over in a flash, but instead of catching her, he tripped over a ceiling keel. The ceiling keel knocked over the gypsum board that was leaning against the wall.
The gypsum board slid down, and Shen Tang was unfortunately affected, getting hit on her back.
“Damn it!” Qin Xing kicked the gypsum board far away.
Shen Tang steadied herself against the wall, enduring the pain, a wry smile on her face.
If he hadn’t come over, she wouldn’t have been hit again.
“Are you okay?”
Shen Tang shook her head. Her back hurt excruciatingly, but her bones seemed fine. Her ankle was a bit twisted, but she should be able to walk slowly.
Qin Xing wiped his forehead, a thin layer of sweat seeping out.
If Shen Tang had been seriously injured, Jiang Chengyu could have destroyed him.
The renovation workers still didn’t know what had happened. Looking at the kicked-away board, they suddenly remembered the unaddressed floor.
Shen Tang waved her hand, signaling them to continue working.
Qin Xing looked at the smashed hollow floor. He didn’t understand anything. “What’s going on?”
Shen Tang secretly took a breath. “It’s a place that wasn’t properly done during the previous renovation. Sister Li found a very responsible contractor who smashed all the hollow spots to redo them.”
The renovation supervisor came over, and Shen Tang discussed some details with him.
Qin Xing stood by, hands on his hips, listening. He actually didn’t understand some of the technical terms.
The renovation supervisor listened and took notes in his memo, estimating where the equipment in the practice room would roughly be placed according to Shen Tang’s requirements.
It took almost half an hour to arrange everything. Shen Tang gritted her teeth as she walked out of the practice room. Each step felt like her ankle was dislocated, and stabbing pain shot through her.
Qin Xing noticed her pale face. “Don’t try to tough it out. If it’s bad, let’s go to the hospital. A twisted ankle might seem minor, but it can be excruciating.”
“I’m fine, I’ll be fine after moving around a bit,” Shen Tang leaned against the wall, limping. “Getting injured was common when I filmed historical martial arts dramas. I just endured it, and it passed.”
Qin Xing stood under the central air conditioning vent, tugging at his shirt collar to let the cold air blow inside.
He turned to look at Shen Tang. She was walking very slowly, step by step. “Why did you make such a luxurious practice room?”
“When I was an artist, you wouldn’t believe how much I wished the company had such a comprehensive practice room. Sometimes, for small rehearsals, there was no place. It was inconvenient at home, and singing and dancing were too noisy, disturbing the neighbors.”
Qin Xing saw that she was really struggling to walk. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
Shen Tang still shook her head. “No need. I know what I’m doing.” She leaned against the wall. “Then, please go to the pharmacy and buy me a spray for sprains. That stops the pain.”
Before going downstairs, Qin Xing took a stool from the hallway and put it in the office. The office furniture hadn’t arrived yet, and the room was empty, but the air conditioning was strong, making it cooler than the hallway.
“You go sit in the room and rest for a bit. I’ll go downstairs and buy it for you now.”
Qin Xing searched for the nearest pharmacy nearby. Walking would be faster than driving there.
Outside, the scorching sun was roasting him; he was about to become a dried salted fish.
Qin Xing flipped his phone. Based on his many years of extensive experience in romance, a woman is most vulnerable and easily moved when injured.
Since he took 0.5% of Jiang Chengyu’s shares, he couldn’t just take them for nothing. He dialed Jiang Chengyu’s number.
Jiang Chengyu was discussing the acquisition case with Yan Heyu. In business matters, he had a different attitude towards Yan Heyu.
Seeing Qin Xing’s number on the screen, he directly hung up.
Yan Heyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, without rhythm. “I’ve read all the due diligence reports you gave me. There aren’t any major issues, including Xie Yucheng’s feedback. This project still has acquisition value.”
Jiang Chengyu put his phone aside. “It’s just that everything is too smooth. I feel uneasy.”
Behind the calm, there might be a storm.
But now, the weather was fine, and there was no way to predict bad weather.
This was the problem.
Yan Heyu lit a cigarette. “Then I’ll review all the potential pitfalls of the target company again to see where the problem lies.”
Jiang Chengyu’s phone rang again. It was still Qin Xing.
He swiped to answer. “I’m busy.”
Qin Xing was sweating profusely. “No matter how busy you are, you have to stop. Shen Tang is injured.”
“Where is she hurt? Is it serious?” Jiang Chengyu had already stood up, pushing his swivel chair back with his leg.
“Of course, it’s serious! Why else would I call you if it wasn’t?” Qin Xing exaggerated, wishing he could add more fuel to the fire. “Today, Shen Tang and I went to the new company to check on the renovation progress. She was crushed under a pile of gypsum boards and couldn’t get up. Her foot was also injured, but she’s still stubbornly enduring it, refusing to go to the hospital. Even I, a grown man, couldn’t bear that pain. You say...”
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chengyu had already left the office. “Where are you both now? Send me the address.” He hung up and then called his driver to prepare the car.
Yan Heyu, who was still smoking in his office, was completely ignored.
This June weather was scorching everything, including Jiang Chengyu’s heart.
Qin Xing’s words painted such a vivid picture that he could almost see Shen Tang being crushed under a pile of gypsum boards. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to enduring everything alone, silently bearing whatever came her way.
Over time, scars piled up, and no one cared, so she herself stopped caring.
Jiang Chengyu repeatedly checked his watch, each second stretched infinitely long.
Shen Tang’s newly rented office was very close to him; from their company’s window, one could see Jingxu Building.
At this moment, he finally confirmed that she just wanted to be closer to him.
Upon reaching the floor of the film and television company, Jiang Chengyu didn’t know which room Shen Tang was in. “Tangtang?”
Shen Tang froze. Before she could answer, a rush of hurried footsteps approached.
Jiang Chengyu walked quickly. When he passed the office she was in and saw her, he couldn’t stop himself and rushed another half meter forward.
Stopping abruptly, he quickly backed away.
“Why are you so disobedient, not even going to the hospital?”
He squatted in front of her.
Shen Tang had taken off her high heel on her right foot and rested it on top of her left foot.
She pretended to be relaxed. “Did Qin Xing call you?”
“Mm,” Jiang Chengyu asked, “Where is he?”
“He went to buy me a spray for sprains, hasn’t come back yet.”
Jiang Chengyu calmed his breathing. She was wearing a white T-shirt today, and there were two dark marks on her back, clearly indicating she had been hit by something.
He couldn’t help but worry. He locked the office door, looked around the room, and confirmed there were no surveillance cameras.
“Let me see your back.”
Shen Tang pressed down the hem of her T-shirt with her hand. “It’s not appropriate.”
They had once been so intimate; there was nowhere he hadn’t seen. But now they had broken up, and simply lifting her shirt to look would indeed be disrespectful.
Jiang Chengyu placed both hands on the stool beside her, almost in a half-embrace position. “Then let’s get back together first. As your boyfriend, I can look.”
Shen Tang: “...There’s no such good thing.”
Jiang Chengyu had no other choice. “Let’s get back together first. I want to see if your back is seriously injured. If you’re unhappy, you can dump me again tomorrow. How about that?”
Shen Tang looked at the anxiety in his eyes and tried to reassure him. “It’s fine, just a little pain. When I get back, I’ll have Yuanyuan help me apply some medicine.”
Jiang Chengyu: “It’s a little pain to you, but not to me.” He looked at her unblinkingly. “From now on, tell me wherever you’re hurt or in pain. I care about you more than you think, and more than I even thought I did myself.”
Shen Tang couldn’t withstand his deep gaze. She tilted her head to the side.
There was no point in saying more. Jiang Chengyu stood up, bent down, and picked her up in a princess carry.
“Jiang Chengyu, what are you doing?”
Jiang Chengyu sat on the stool himself and placed her on his lap.
Shen Tang’s foot hurt, her back hurt, and sitting in his lap in such an intimate position, she didn’t dare to struggle, unconsciously gripping the shirt on his shoulder.
She controlled her slightly unsteady breathing. “You’re bullying me like this.”
Jiang Chengyu met her gaze. “What can I do to make you willing to get back together?”
“I said it when we broke up.”
It had been almost a year and a half since they broke up, and he remembered most of what she had said.
Jiang Chengyu recalled carefully, knowing which sentence she was referring to.
That night she had said, ‘If one day you come to beg me, begging me to love you, begging me to marry you, perhaps I’ll consider it. As for whether I’ll actually marry you, that’s another matter.’
Only Shen Tang could make him willingly set aside his arrogance and lower his stance.
Jiang Chengyu looked into her eyes. “I’m begging you, get back together with me.”
A thousand-foot wave surged in Shen Tang’s heart, roaring and churning, engulfing her.
Jiang Chengyu didn’t dare to touch her back, afraid of hurting the injured spot. He held her shoulder with one hand and her legs with the other.
Shen Tang was completely in his arms.
It had been too long since he had held her like this. He unconsciously pulled her closer, the feeling of having her back, lost and now found.
“Tangtang,” Jiang Chengyu whispered against her cheek, his voice very low: “I love you.”
