"Ah~~" The already somewhat cool air made Song Rushi shiver involuntarily, and she exhaled a breath of warm air to warm her hands.
The two of them had decisively started preparations as soon as they came up with the idea of launching a dating website.
Song Rushi and Lu Feiyan were not ordinary people; they had some savings and also received investment from Jiang Yizhou, although she did not tell her partner about it. This money was enough for the initial funding.
However, when they had assembled a team and were ready to make a big push, Song Rushi sought an assessment from Zhengyi Investment's evaluators regarding the project's risks, only to be doused with cold water. Domestic internet users might not even reach fifty thousand; while the idea of dating was good, adding marriage to it meant the target audience would be even smaller. It was simply too broad, and there was no need to create a dedicated website.
This was an obvious fact. While everyone might use the internet for making friends, playing games, working, or searching for information, dating was definitely a less common purpose. Without a sufficiently large market—like the millions of internet users in the United States—it would be hard to support such a commercial website.
Thus, this left them somewhat confused. The general direction of dating was still good; they just needed to find a niche.
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of them. Upon seeing the license plate, Song Rushi immediately recognized it as Jiang Yizhou's car and felt delighted.
And indeed, it was Jiang Yizhou who stepped out of the car, looking radiant and full of springtime vigor. Ever since he resolved a personal issue and laid everything bare, he felt that his girlfriend's last action tacitly acknowledged his situation of having multiple partners.
One could not help but notice that once a man’s opportunistic mindset is given a chance, it becomes unexpectedly strong. Feeling that his girlfriend would not leave him stirred emotions within him and led him to entertain different thoughts.
Although he did not dare provoke Ding Zhengnan at present, visiting Song Rushi required no pretense.
"As such, how have you been lately?" Seeing Lu Feiyan's fiery gaze as if she wanted to swallow him whole, Jiang Yizhou greeted her as well. "Oh, and Ms. Lu, you're here too!"
"As such, didn't you leave him? How come..." Lu Feiyan tightly gripped her bag, her long nails digging into the leather as she questioned her partner beside her.
"I'm sorry; I'm also a selfish person. I returned to my country to start a business just to prove that I'm not someone who relies on him. But that doesn't affect my relationship with him."
Looking at the silent Lu Feiyan—who was both surprised by Jiang Yizhou's arrival and guilty about deceiving her in some sense—she let Jiang Yizhou take her hand and walk into the car without looking at Lu Feiyan's expression.
"Jiang, what exactly do you plan to do about our Ding Zhengnan?" Lu Feiyan watched the departing car, her voice becoming increasingly ethereal.
She took out her phone and called her niece urgently; she desperately wanted to tell Ding Zhengnan everything and expose this audacious guy.
"I know; he’s with me." After a night of madness, Ding Zhengnan did not go to work but wandered around the house in his pajamas.
Her expression was as free and carefree as an elf wandering through the forest.
"You didn't let him have the last word, did you?" Lu Feiyan had a bad feeling in her heart, but it was a reasonable suspicion; otherwise, Jiang Yizhou wouldn't look so detestable.
"Why should I oppose him? It's better to let him enjoy this time!" Ding Zhengnan casually replied while picking up a cordless phone and strolling through the living room, occasionally fiddling with the decorations in the house.
Her niece's words made her feel something was off; it seemed like there were hidden meanings behind them. However, she didn't understand what had happened between Jiang Yizhou and Ding Zhengnan, nor could she ask Jiang Yizhou anything about it.
Why should she accommodate that kind of person? Why should this accommodation come with a time limit? Lu Feiyan felt exhausted and truly couldn't manage it anymore.
Sensing the silence on the other end of the phone, Ding Zhengnan laughed lightly, "Aunt, don't worry. I have my plans. I've never been someone who gets taken advantage of!"
...
"How are things between you... and her?" Sitting in the passenger seat, although she had many things she wanted to discuss with him face-to-face, she first asked about Ding Zhengnan's situation.
Although she had suddenly broken free from constraints and was no longer just a lover who relied on special relationships to gain favor, this realization brought her much clarity. She no longer felt compelled to leave Jiang Yizhou due to external factors.
However, this strange relationship and the odd people involved still worried her. If it were just herself, perhaps there wouldn't be so many twists and turns, even if he was reckless and unreasonable in binding her to his side.
But there were no "ifs"; everything that needed to be faced had to be faced.
If she couldn't face it, then avoidance would suffice!
If avoidance was impossible, then death would be fine!
If she didn't even have the resolve to die, then there was nothing else to do but live well!
In the end, facing it was inevitable. Avoiding everything was merely akin to the world before life and after death; one feels alive because of all they endure.
These thoughts came from some wisdom Jiang Yizhou had learned from who knows where. She didn't fully understand them but knew one thing: this man should take responsibility!
"Don't worry; I've been honest with her. I won't give up on either of you! If you want to leave, I won't stop you!" Jiang Yizhou said without hesitation, expressing thoughts that were quite unconventional.
“……” Song Rushi didn’t know what to think. Perhaps she should hope that the girl would take the initiative to withdraw, so that she could naturally stay by his side.
But maybe the girl was thinking the same thing? After all, she was the man's legitimate girlfriend, which was an undeniable advantage.
“Don’t look so gloomy. What do you want to do today? Watch a movie? Or go to some places you like?” Jiang Yizhou was completely unaware of the subtlety of the current situation and casually looked forward to having fun with Song Rushi.
He never considered that the girl had never given her an answer or expressed her attitude; she only showed her best side to Jiang Yizhou.
“It’s a bit chilly. I know a tea house; do you want to go there…” Song Rushi felt the howling autumn wind outside the window and glanced at the oblivious Jiang Yizhou before suggesting they go to their usual tea house.
The place they went to was actually a large Siheyuan transformed into a tea house. In the courtyard, there were artificial mountains and water, surrounded by private rooms that were quiet and soundproof.
“Welcome! Do you have a reservation?”
Jiang Yizhou remained silent, letting Song Rushi handle it while he took in the scenery, his gaze landing on the lady, and they exchanged smiles.
If only they could maintain this forever!
