hurt you like this, and I haven't even gotten my revenge on him yet.""The main reason lies with me. Besides, the cast and crew are all very dedicated and hardworking, and I wouldn't want to ruin thing...It seems that I'm emotionally inept. I put all my intelligence into work and tend to oversimplify matters of the heart. Whether it was Zhao Tingxing in the past or Jiang Mu now, I've always been single-minded about relationships.

Very long ago, when she left the construction site and Zhao Tingxing, she had never defined this action as abandonment in her heart. They grew up together since childhood, fell in love, lived together, and had so many intimate relationships. In her heart, they were already a family. She knew she would come back sooner or later. So after returning, no matter how he spoke harshly to her, she didn't take it to heart until the very end when she was truly desperate.

She and Jiang Mu were together, simply because it was comfortable and reassuring. She was very good at hiding her emotions, but Jiang Mu could sense them and soothe them appropriately, which was wonderful. It made her not think too deeply about his family background because she knew she wasn't with him for his money, so it wasn't something she considered important at all.

And all of this was just her wishful thinking. The world, the people in it, would never follow her ideas.

As the night grew cooler, she leaned back against the living room wall, sitting in a chair on the balcony. A warm embrace came from behind her, and a gentle voice whispered in her ear: "Waiting for me"

Han Li turned her head slightly to look at him, their faces pressed together, both of them feeling the chill. Jiang Mu noticed something was wrong with her and walked around to face her, asking with concern, "What's wrong"

An-Li whispered, "Your aunt and uncle came to see me. They're very concerned about you."

Jian Mu's eyes flickered, his brow furrowing slightly: "Something unpleasant to tell you"

"No, I'm just worried that I might be taking advantage of your money."

"Did you tell them to go back"

"What are you saying"

"It's none of their business."

Hàn Lì's gloomy heart was suddenly dispelled by his rare curse, "Can you say that They are your family."

Of course, your feelings are the most important. I don't want you to feel like you have to suppress your emotions when you're with me. And if they bully you again, it's bullying me too. Just call me next time.

Jiang Mu was very good at suppressing his own emotions, so he knew the pain that came with it. Of course, he didn't want Han Li to suppress himself because of him.

His father's people were marginalized by his mother early on and are now in unimportant positions; while his mother arranged for her relatives to join the company to protect him, it wasn't a blind arrangement. Each position was carefully balanced, preventing anyone from having absolute power, ultimately leaving him in control.

But in recent years, after his mother fell ill and passed away a few years later, these aunts and uncles gradually grew more inflated, trying to control his work and life.

Recently, he began to have thoughts of returning to the Jiang family. Before his mother passed away, she made him promise to take good care of the family business and that no one, not even her relatives, was allowed to take anything from him. Over these years, it could be said that his mother gave him enough time to adapt.

He was still hesitating, but after hearing Han Li talk about it tonight, he made up his mind to return to the company as soon as possible.

When Han Li heard him say he was planning to return to the company and take charge of the business, she was shocked: "You do what you want to do, it doesn't matter to me. I can just ignore them later."

It's not just for you, I've been free these past years and also want to experience a different kind of life.

He spoke lightly, as if he saw through everything, but for a moment, when he looked into the distance, there was loneliness in his eyes, a loneliness she couldn't comfort. Perhaps there was a place in his heart that no one could enter.

Her life still had Han Zhao Yi, while his was just constantly experiencing different ways of living.

She couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Mu, do you love me"

He said, "Love, I told you, I won't settle."

"Have you ever loved a girl enough to want to marry and have children with her"

This time, Jiang Mu remained silent for a long time before saying, "She has a very stable relationship, so I've never thought about this. When you asked me just now, I seriously considered the possibility for the first time. If it were her, I wouldn't be sure either; we haven't been in touch for a long time."

"Well said."

Jiang Mu plans to return to the company, so he has been much busier than before. Over the past few years, he hasn't been actually involved in the company's operations, relying on twice-monthly meetings to understand the situation. This is a world of difference, so he wants to gradually take back power from his mother's side of the family. It's a difficult task, but luckily over the past few years, he has secretly cultivated quite a few confidants. He wants to come back, at least someone to help him.

When he was busy, his personal life almost disappeared. He often arrived at Hanli's place very late, and a few times even past midnight. Hanli then advised him that it wasn't necessary to come over so late; she wasn't a clingy little girl and understood his situation.

He just said, "Come back and have a look, you'll feel more at ease."

Han Li, moved by emotion, also had her sleep affected. She didn't sleep as well as before and her dark circles became more pronounced.

On Friday evening, she went straight from the construction site to pick up Han Zhaoyi from kindergarten. After a whole day on the construction site, she was tired and didn't feel like talking. While waiting outside the kindergarten, she stood by her car wearing sunglasses to avoid being greeted by acquaintances and to shield herself from the afternoon sun.

Just less than a minute had passed when I saw, out of the corner of my eye, a car identical to hers parked beside her. A man stood by the car, leaning against the door watching her. As she looked over, he smiled and walked towards her, his tall figure gradually blocking out the setting sun behind him.

Zhao Tingxing waved his phone: "I told you I was picking up Han Zhaoyi today, why are you here too Missing me"

Han Li looked down at her cell phone message. Sure enough, he had sent her a text this afternoon. Usually, the messages she received were advertising promotions, and she didn't even bother looking at them. So was he doing this on purpose He usually called to talk.

"Here you go." She said, then turned to get in the car and wait. She'd call Han Zhaoyi a bit later before leaving.

But Zhao Tingxing held her car door shut just like last time, and in one smooth motion, he also took off her sunglasses.

"Are you sick" Han Li was completely barefaced today. Her dark circles were a bit heavier recently, and without her sunglasses to shield them, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Tingxing, however, gave her a serious look: "Such dark circles Are you indulging yourself every night At your age, take it easy."

"Dog talk, Han Li was furious: "Do you think everyone is like you, with your head full of yellow garbage all day"

"What does a man think about a woman he likes"

Han Li didn't want to talk about these things with him, so she went to pull the door, but it remained firmly shut by his hand.

"Get out of the way."

He pressed against the door and suddenly said, "You've lost weight. Have you been bullied"ven make it into the top ten in his class. It seems like Auntie Wen thinks he's fallen in love too early." 。"Zhang He is very fortunate that she discovered it early and extinguished the child's initi...
