C132 (1/2)

I don't know what happened to him, and he didn't mean to tell me.

All I knew was that the next day, after he had lost his fever, he had become exceptionally silent, and the smile on his face had lessened by quite a bit.

After that, he rarely went to the company these few days. From what I heard from the restaurant, he handed all the work over to Lu Qian, and Lu Qian wasn't sure when he would recover from it either.

He had always lived in my house, often sitting on the sofa in a daze, either staring up at the ceiling or holding on to me.

Jiang Yu was like a child who had lost everything, treating me as his only hope.

I knew it was an extreme lack of love, and she wanted warmth from me, something like motherly love.

Knowing this, I knew better how to control his heart.

He often asked me the same question these days, ”Do you love me, will you leave me?”

Every time, I would tell him with absolute certainty that I wouldn't, but it didn't seem to be of any use. In his eyes, I would always be able to leave him.

What I have to do now is to give him enough hope. When he completely gives me his heart and trusts me, I will use the way he treats me to return it all to him.

After a while, perhaps because I was careful enough, his mood slowly improved. However, he still didn't like to talk.

One day, I came home from work and found a beautifully wrapped box on my bed.

I was a little puzzled, what special day was it today, for him to actually prepare a present for me?

I opened the box. Inside was a flimsy green dress.

The clothes were beautiful, my favorite style, but the color was too light.

I looked around. Jiang Yu wasn't home.

I took the clothes out of the box, looked at them carefully, and then threw them aside.

Not long after, Jiang Yu returned from the outside.

When he came back, he didn't say much. He just asked me to try on the dress and told me that it was a friend's wedding tomorrow and that he wanted me to come with him.

He said that he was referring to me, but he didn't. The clothes have already been prepared. Could it be that there is still room for rejection?

He was just giving me face and a way out for himself.

I pretended to be happy as I put on my clothes, but inside, I was sneering.

This man was cold and decisive, and incomparably selfish!

In his eyes, there was nothing more important than him!

But there was a smile on his face that made me look satisfied with all his decisions.

But only I know how much I hate myself at this moment.

The next morning, he carried me from the bed to the bathroom and washed me carefully.

I know it's a man's vanity.

Especially towards a man like Jiang Yu.

Women meant as much to them as their watches and shoes did.

And now I probably had nothing worth his attention other than that.

I let him fiddle with my hair and the makeup on my feet. It's nothing to do with me.

When we were done, we drove to the cathedral where his so-called friends were to be married.

I was a little surprised when the car drove up to the door. Although I had already prepared myself in my heart, I knew that his friend definitely wasn't someone to be trifled with.

But I never expected this wedding to be so grand!
