To be honest, Jing Tong had never been afraid, be it in the restaurant or in the same room. She didnât think that man would do anything to her.
Even if she resisted and was angry, it was only against Jiang Yu and not because he was a man.
However, Jing Tong suddenly felt that something was wrong when she heard him say the wordsâ sleep early â.
She suddenly realized that no matter how cold and unreasonable he was, he was still a normal man.
Wait, that might not be the case. She had never seen him fall for any woman, and she had never heard of any woman beside him.
Perhaps he wasnât a normal man at all.
Jing Tong couldnât help calming herself down.
âGo to sleep first. I still need a few minutes.â She stood up and pretended to look for information on the bookshelf. âIâll turn off the light later.â
Jiang Yu looked at her and suddenly asked, âIs it tough at work?â
ââ¦Itâs alright. Itâs a bit easier than when I was studying in America,â Jing Tong said. âI canât compare to you no matter how hard it is.â
The man paused and said, âDonât force yourself. I wonât ignore you no matter what happens.â
Jing Tong smirked and said, âDonât worry. I wonât give you any chance to make it up to me.â
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow.
âI know you feel guilty and have been wanting to make it up to me.â Jing Tong looked at him. âBut if I end up having to ask you for help, I might as well die.â
Jiang Yu frowned and said, âIs accepting my help that serious for you?â
âI canât help Dad.â Her voice was hoarse. âI contributed to Night Banquet being sealed. Heâs destined to stay in prison for the rest of his life. I know you didnât do anything wrong. I shouldnât hate you. Actually, I donât have the strength to hate you, but at least I can keep a distance from you. Turning you down makes me feel that Iâm not that unfilial.â
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and looked at her.
âBut I know that you donât care whether I hate you or not at all.â Jing Tong smiled self-deprecatingly. âDidnât you feel guilty because I pursued you so passionately back then? Actually, thereâs no need to. You didnât do anything wrong. You just donât like me. Donât worry. I only have respect for you now, and I donât have any thoughts. I promise I wonât cause you any trouble again.â
She sounded solemn towards the end.
However, Jiang Yuâs face turned colder. He stood up and walked to her.
Jing Tong instinctively felt a sense of danger and took a step back.
Jiang Yu took another step forward and forced her into a corner. Jing Tong leaned against the desk and was dazed seeing the manâs well-defined face.
The manâs hormones and breath seemed to be getting stronger, making it difficult for her to breathe.
âNothing? Are you sure?â Jiang Yu leaned over and said expressionlessly. âIf you donât have any feelings for me, why would you allow me to enter?â
Jing Tong was dazed for a bit, then she blushed and said, âDidnât you insist on staying at my house? You even said it was for an important matter⦠How dare you play the blame game?â
