124 Chapter 124-sincerity
Jiang se was aware of this. The reason she did not mention it was because, in her heart, she still felt that there was a clear separation between them.
The two of them would occasionally go on dates and eat together. Although she had accepted his gifts on his birthday, she still seemed to be holding a ruler and carefully measuring the relationship between the two of them. She had not crossed the line that she had drawn. At most, she was just a little closer to her.
PEI Yi’s lips moved, and there was a hurt look in his eyes.
“What about my investment?”
He spoke carefully. Jiang se turned to him and flashed him a toothy smile, causing him to fall head over heels for her. The next moment, he heard her ask, ”
“So, Yi, do you want an employee or a girlfriend?”
Her words were like a basin of cold water that was poured on his head. It chilled his heart and dispelled all the thoughts in his mind.
Of course, he wanted a girlfriend, but he couldn’t bear to see her suffer under someone else’s company.
Xiang qiuran had originally suggested that he start a company and take care of her like a princess in the future. He could have any resources he wanted.
But her answer was completely different from what Xiang qiuran said.
Her rejection reminded him of the manor he had bought in France. Because of one sentence from her, he had spent more than two years, but she had not even visited it so far. It made him a little uneasy, and he did not know if it was really to her liking.
Between the two of them, he had always loved her more, while she had always kept her distance, which made him feel a little uneasy.
When he proposed to her earlier, she had only said that it was ‘too early’. However, she didn’t know that he had actually prepared for a long time just to pretend to confess his love for her.
He endured it all the way. When they arrived at the restaurant, he parked his car and got out of the car to open the door for her. When he saw her unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car, he did not retract his arm that was resting on Jiang SE’s side. Instead, he slammed the car door shut and placed his other arm on the car door, trapping her in his arms.
“Sese, I don’t understand. Why do you have to make a choice?”
He lowered his head and his eyes were filled with grievance. He leaned forward and waited for her answer.
This action reminded Jiang se of the time in the washroom in the Jiulong Hall. Under the dim light of the garage, she had been locked in his arms with her back pressed against the car. He had lowered his head as if he was acting coquettishly and complaining, ”
“Why would you consider century Galaxy instead of me?”
“What’s the deal with century Galaxy?” he was a little indignant. He thought of Ailsa, and was still a little upset that she had interrupted his good time. He gritted his teeth and said, ”
“That woman looks shifty and doesn’t look like a good person.”
Whenever he was unhappy, he would make it sound as if Ailsa was a bad person with ulterior motives, which made Jiang se laugh. When he saw her smile, he quietly took a few steps back and pressed his upper body even lower.
“Sese, promise me?”
He tried his best to lower his body so that his eyes met hers, like a child who was eager for a definite answer.
Jiang se shook her head and leaned against the car.
“I don’t want to.”
The light in his eyes dimmed, and disappointment seeped out from his pupils.
“Why? Qiuran also said that it would be good for you.”
“What does Xiang qiuran know?”
Jiang se said seriously, ”
“You see, he’s still single.” Before she was reborn, she had vaguely heard about the news of the Xiang brothers. Their girlfriends were like leeks, one after another, and they never stopped.
She raised her head and asked with a smile, ”
do you treat me like how Xiang qiuran treats those small-time celebrities? ”
“Of course not!” He quickly shook his head. His golden hair swayed with his movements. He looked very much like his mother. He had a pair of Phoenix eyes. The ends of his eyes were upturned, and they were as black as ink. When he focused on someone, even Jiang se could not resist him.
“I just want to give you better things. I want to pamper you so that you can’t leave me.”
She did not know where he had learned these words from, but Jiang SE’s gaze gradually softened when she heard them. He was still young. Perhaps it was because he had not had much contact with girls in the past. At least, as far as she knew, he had never had a girlfriend in his life, so he had not learned how to lie and coax. He could say whatever was on his mind and could not hide it at all.
However, it was precisely because of this that his sincere feelings were extremely precious through these two short sentences.
“I didn’t want to leave you,” She pursed her lips and coaxed him with one sentence, making his eyes light up and his heart burst with joy.
When he smiled, Jiang se seemed to be influenced by him as well. She revealed her pearly white teeth.”I’m serious too. We’ve known each other for so many years, and you see, I casually agreed to Yingluo’s request.”
She subconsciously blurted it out, but she vigilantly stopped herself in time and forcibly took a detour.
I’m serious too. After we date, if we are really suitable for each other, I will only agree if ah Yi proposes to me in the future. I can’t say yes now.
He pretended not to hear her slip of the tongue, but his body trembled slightly as he held back the excitement in his heart.
If her previous rejection had made him feel like he had fallen into a deep valley, then this one sentence had already made him in high spirits.
His mood had always been under her control. A moment ago, he had been aggrieved and disappointed, but now he was biting his lip to hold back his smile.
“I know, I’ll wait!” He said firmly and lowered his head. His breathing was a little rushed as he pressed his forehead against her brows and gently rubbed it.
“In this case, Sese, why don’t you let me start a company?”
In fact, he had already set his mind on her. To PEI Yi, it did not matter whether the company was profitable or not. He just treated it as a way to make her happy.
if you start a company, what’s the difference between me entering the entertainment industry or not? ”
If she had to rely on PEI Yi, how would her life be any different from before? They just stood behind others and listened to their arrangements.
To her, if her rebirth was a perplexity in the past, it was now a very special opportunity for her. It meant a lot to her, but it was very different. She did not want anyone to interfere.
PEI Yi could vaguely sense her intentions and understood that she had made up her mind. No matter how much he tried to persuade her, she would not change her mind.
The uneasiness in PEI Yi’s heart was soothed after the two of them had spoken. His tensed expression relaxed a lot, and only then did he notice the posture of the two of them talking.
He was so close to Jiang se that their foreheads were pressed against each other. He could smell the faint fragrance on her body. Her warm breath gently blew on his face, causing his legs to tense up.
Her eyelashes were long and curled, and when she blinked, she brushed past his eyelashes gently. She had not touched them yet, but it made him feel as if an electric current had passed through his body, and he felt numb.
His eyes swept across her delicate nose and saw her slightly pouted lips. She had always loved herself. After removing her makeup and applying lip balm, she looked even more tender, like a beautiful and fragrant dessert, silently inviting people to taste it.
