Jiang Chen walked towards the sofa, put down the pillow, but before he could sit, the other person moved away as if avoiding the plague.
"Two steps’ distance. No, three."
Exactly.
Who allowed him to co so close?
Jiang Chen chuckled silently, still making his case, "When I said ’opposite sex’, I ant everyone but myself."
Hmm.
Good explanation.
Try not explaining next ti.
"Dream on!"
Pei Yunxi scolded coldly, not submitting to circumstances. Her character was like this, not yielding to force, which is why she could stand out in the cutthroat entertainnt industry and gain so many fans.
If she were like her peers, going with the flow and thinking it was natural, how could she have waited for soone else’s favor?
She would’ve been devoured by the wolves and tigers long ago.
Why must won use their looks to please others?
Can’t they live off their own abilities?
"Mind your manners."
Jiang Chen put down her water glass, "You are Pei Yunxi, after all."
And so what if she’s Pei Yunxi?
Can’t Pei Yunxi have normal emotions like joy, anger, sadness, fear, and surprise?
Look at his nonchalant deanor.
A textbook scumbag!
Clearly, he’s the one driving soone mad, yet he blas them for being mad.
"I want to break up with you."
Pei Yunxi realized suddenly, steeling herself with determination.
This "breakup" clearly wasn’t just about ending her managent contract with CX Entertainnt.
Jiang Chen, adept at playing dumb, didn’t avoid it this ti. Hearing she’d break up with him, he remained calm and unhurried,
"Have you thought it through?"
Pei Yunxi had regained her composure, at least on the surface. After all, she was a professional actress, and a standout one at that, her earlier loss of composure was truly unwarranted.
"We agreed, this is my freedom."
Not being assimilated by the dirty entertainnt circle, not falling into it, apart from sticking to her principles, intelligence was also indispensable.
Pei Yunxi made an extrely wise choice.
Yelling and arguing were not her strong points, and they wouldn’t solve anything.
Besides.
This bastard.
He actually hits people now!
She’s seen plenty of dirty looks, but soone actually daring to lay hands, that was a first.
But there’s no need to mind.
Just think that soone now dares to even slap Blood Guanyin’s butt, and it’ll make sense.
Oh.
Sorry.
She was unaware of soone’s growth.
"Hm, I did say, you’re free, you can leave anyti."
Boss Jiang was dignified, wouldn’t deny the promise he made, then, unnecessarily added, "But I still want to advise you to think it over."
"Thank you. I’ve thought it through."
No need to answer so decisively.
Makes one lose face.
Jiang Chen sighed softly, seemingly quite affected, but after all, he was cultured and of status, he didn’t fly into a rage, asking gently, "Is there sothing you’re dissatisfied with?"
Is it okay to say you’re dissatisfied with everything?
Of course.
Pei Yunxi certainly wouldn’t say that.
How does that song go?
Breakup—needs to be decent, no need for apologies~
Setting that aside, if one truly wants freedom, negotiations must be peaceful, angering the other side would be counterproductive.
"What you wanted, didn’t you already get it?"
Jiang Chen was speechless, turning his head, seeing a face so calm it was infuriating.
What a perfect jawline.
A miracle of creation.
Such a rare treasure, having it, how could one bear to give it away?
Jiang Chen never boasted about his character, he always admitted and was fully aware, human nature is selfish.
"Most of the world’s famous museums hold onto our treasures. They’ve also owned them, why are they unwilling to return them?"
"You promised."
Pei Yunxi reiterated.
"I did promise."
Jiang Chen was calm and peaceful, "But now I’ve changed my mind."
"You!"
Pei Yunxi turned, emotions stirring again.
"What? Not allowed to change my mind?"
Jiang Chen was at ease, calm and straightforward, "Have you never gone back on your words?"
To be honest.
Being stared at by those eyes made one quite embarrassed, but so things are more urgent than others.
Temporarily enduring the moral condemnation was better than a lifeti of regret.
"At the ti, I truly didn’t intend to deceive you. But now I realize I overestimated myself. Or overestimated human’s flaws, just thinking of you smiling and being affectionate with another man..."
"Who am I being affectionate with?!"
Pei Yunxi couldn’t help but interrupt.
"I’m speaking hypothetically."
Jiang Chen, in the tone of an outsider, calmly and objectively said, "After leaving , would you stay single forever? You’d definitely date, marry, and have children, right?"
What is this?
This is possessiveness?
"I won’t marry. Nor will I find a man."
After sharing a bed so many tis, there’s no need to be coy.
Jiang Chen looked at her, his gaze seemingly penetrating the soul, with a slight smile.
"I don’t believe you."
"You’re deceiving . It’s a delaying tactic. Even if you change your mind in the future, there’s nothing I can do about it. That’s what you’re thinking, right?"
Smart.
If he can change his mind, why can’t others?
"Don’t think everyone is like you."
Pei Yunxi denied, seemingly really planning to be alone for life.
But Jiang Chen wasn’t so young fool to be tricked.
The prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie.
This, he understands better than anyone.
"Unless you write a guarantee."
Talking about marriage and children was one thing, but actually demanding a guarantee?
