“Jiang Yizhou, I'm leaving first!” Shen Qing looked meaningfully at the two of them; anyone could see the strange atmosphere between them.
There was definitely a big problem.
When Shen Qing first joined the company, she learned about Jiang Yizhou and her senior's relationship. After analyzing this Boss's personality, she wisely kept her distance from this man, and the results were evident—she had made the right choice.
As for Jiang Yizhou's personality...
On one hand, he had many self-imposed principles, some of which bordered on a kind of obsessive cleanliness. On the other hand, he was somewhat childlike and unaware of it.
This self-inflicted suffering, simply put, was a masochistic personality. If he were an ordinary person without exceptional talents to support such persistence, he would definitely struggle to live well in society.
However, for the young Jiang Yizhou, his current achievements had already placed him among the top tier, granting him the privilege to be willful.
But what did that have to do with her?
Shen Qing said nothing; it was none of her business. She returned to the Zheng Yi headquarters to handle official matters.
“How is it? Look over there; I built a tennis court. We can play when we have time. And I knocked down this wall to create a fitness area...”
The two of them did not return to Ding Zhengnan's parents' home but instead went to the residence that Jiang Yizhou had purchased.
Having been abroad for so long and with the house still under renovation, this was Jiang Yizhou's first time staying here.
Owning such a spacious residence in the capital surely meant he wouldn't be overwhelmed by future pressures or crowded conditions. Moreover, the gradually vibrant leaves of the Ginkgo Tree added to the refreshing atmosphere.
The girl continuously shared her designs with Jiang Yizhou, chattering away as if she wanted to turn this place into a home for both of them.
“Are there any ingredients here? If not, how about we go out for a meal?”
Although Jiang Yizhou did not speak directly, suddenly interrupting the girl's desire for a response felt off to her in any case.
What is willfulness? It is an action that defies reason. For example, fasting—Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance included fasting as a method. However, when an ordinary person throws a tantrum and fasts without reason in others' eyes, that is considered willful.
Ding Zhengnan could never imagine the reasons behind Jiang Yizhou's actions, as he was motivated not by guilt but by a desire to not hide anything. This made his behavior perplexing.
Looking at her boyfriend's expression, which left her utterly confused about what had happened, and his outstretched hand, Ding Zhengnan felt a strange sense of alienation from the very beginning.
"Yi Zhou, can you tell me the truth? I know that since you first saw me, you've wanted to talk to me about something, haven't you?" Ding Zhengnan had always been bold; otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so hard to pursue someone with such a difficult personality as Jiang Yizhou.
In her past life, he had this peculiar personality but lacked corresponding talents, wealth, or status. Naturally, he would not encounter such troubles because no one would dare to open that rock-solid heart door. Inside that door, there was nothing but a strange heart.
As for the miraculous love that transcends all barriers, Jiang Yizhou never believed it existed.
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes because everything about Jiang Yizhou was too painful for her. She would rather he be an ordinary salaryman busy with work every day, someone who could cherish her as a precious treasure that was hard for him to obtain.
But is that possible? Would she be interested in an ordinary man who was mediocre and had an exceptionally awkward personality?
The first hurdle of love is to enter each other's line of sight. The Jiang Yizhou from her past life probably couldn't even enter the sight of someone like Ding Zhengnan, let alone develop a romantic relationship afterward.
In October's capital city, today was a rare clear blue sky without clouds. A flock of pigeons raised by a nearby establishment circled in the air, and the slightly desolate autumn atmosphere had already spread.
"I have another woman. I think you, as my girlfriend, have the right to know this."
The two sat on opposite sides of a long wooden table in the restaurant. Jiang Yizhou spoke with some seriousness but naturally.
Isn't it only natural? In a relationship between men and women, loyalty is paramount. Making mistakes is not terrifying; what is terrifying is hiding those mistakes. This series of teachings received by Jiang Yizhou when his soul consciousness formed was just like that, engraved in his soul.
It was like the scholars in the court clamoring for peace and criticizing the king for recklessly wielding weapons and engaging in war.
The only difference was that he embodied both the scholar and the king; he could do both without worrying about the survival of nations or the law of the jungle.
Being so harsh on himself would only hurt himself and those who cared about him, like Ding Zhengnan, who sat on the other side of the long table.
Until this moment, Ding Zhengnan truly recognized the real face of Jiang Yizhou, the man who intrigued her, amazed her, and captivated her.
At this moment, Jiang Yizhou's expression showed no emotion; he was simply Calm, as if it were something completely unrelated to him.
The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows spanning two levels, creating golden spots of light from the Ginkgo Tree outside that made this open house feel warm and beautiful.
However, in the carefully crafted future home of Ding Zhengnan, something was happening that left her helpless.
"Yi Zhou, stop joking. Are you telling a cold joke? I admit it does feel a bit cold. What do you want to eat? I know..."
"As such, it was during that trip to Hong Kong; it was a moment of impulse," Jiang Yizhou also considered deception, but that did not align with his life philosophy. This is not ancient times; there aren't many norms that are considered normal, and women are not forced or tempted to accept inequality like those in a harem.
Although the ideas of *** continue to spread, that is sex, not love.
This brutally honest confession hurt not only himself but also Ding Zhengnan, the girl who moved him.
With a sense of relief, Jiang Yizhou revealed one by one the mistakes he had made that Ding Zhengnan did not know about, without any intention of defending himself.
Like a foolish scholar who has read too much, Jiang Yizhou did not think there was anything wrong with the principles and teachings he followed, even if the very framework supporting him in this life was a cage that had imprisoned him in his past life. Even if it meant tearing open wounds that hurt both others and himself.
On this day before winter fully set in, Ding Zhengnan felt a bone-chilling cold.
He was simply too immature to understand love!
