Jiang Yanzhou spoke with a low and hoarse voice, and he mumbled, “No one can touch it if you like it. It’ll be just you.”

“What about yourself?”

“I won’t touch it either.”

“Really?” Clearly, Lu Yang didn’t believe him.

If he knew that it was all her plan from beginning to end, he would probably go completely mad.

The first lie was insignificant, but the second one rendered everything in the past irrelevant.

Winter passed and spring arrived. Everything was in revival, except for Jiang Yanzhou.

Some people reported the medical conglomerate for producing counterfeit products, while others accepted the benefits and intended to deceive. Jiang Xi and Jiang Yanzhou were investigated, and although it wasn’t Jiang Yanzhou’s doing, he failed to notice the inadequate regulation, which enraged Jiang Xi.

After being scolded, Jiang Yanzhou walked out and saw a figure on the side of the road. He smiled, and all the annoyance in his heart dissipated silently.

The late afternoon of early spring was still chilly. Under the mottled light and shadow, Lu Yang stood with her hands in her pockets, looking down at her toes. Her hair was lifted by the wind and fluttered to her shoulders before sliding down. She became a little bored and turned slightly. The orange sunset shone on her profile, like a beautiful painting, particularly enchanting.

As the sun set and night fell, he suddenly became afraid of the dark.

Dusk should not have faded away; she should always be enveloped in brilliant radiance.

Lu Yang casually lifted her head and her gaze met his. Jiang Yanzhou walked toward her with large strides, but her phone in her pocket rang.

It was a call from Jiang Xi’s secretary.

“Miss Lu, Mr. Jiang wants me to convey a message to you.”

“Use and discard as soon as you’re done.”

The most absurd things, the most unbelievable things, are often the easiest to believe.

“Lu Yang is getting close to you, but it’s just to win you over. Do you think she’s really only interested in you? Absurd. Lu Yang never takes herself seriously. She may like your hand, even become addicted to it, but she’s not foolish. A reckless person who acts impulsively, unless you have something she wants.” The ignored details by Jiang Yanzhou were unraveled like peeling a cocoon.

Lu Yang couldn’t act; it was true that she liked touching the prominent veins on his hand, she was genuinely interested in his body, and she knew he liked her… Everything was true, yet everything was not true.

Six months of self-inflicted sentimentality and clinging made his self-esteem trampled upon. He didn’t want to be completely vulnerable.

He wanted to gamble and see if she would miss him during his absence.

After finishing his tour, Lu Mingyu hadn’t seen Lu Yang for nearly a month. He couldn’t sleep for a whole day out of excitement, thinking of personally picking her up from the airport. Lu Yang dealt with matters in Holsten and was waiting to board the plane. Feeling thirsty, she bought a bottle of water and took a few sips when Jiang Yanzhou unexpectedly appeared within her line of sight.

While she was still stunned, he had already approached her and pulled her into his embrace.

They had never officially been together; she had given him a chance, but he didn’t know if that opportunity was a means for her to stabilize him or if it was genuine.

Jiang Yanzhou was born into a cold family and was groomed by Jiang Xi to take over in Holsten.

Until one day, he found his desired utopia.

Jiang Yanzhou’s utopia was named Lu Yang.

He admired her and loved her passionately.

Later on, she abandoned him.

But that was only what he thought.

She never intended to possess him.

So, how could there be any abandonment?

He didn’t even have the qualification to be heartbroken.

“Lu Yang.”

“I like you.”

Jiang Yanzhou pleaded softly, “Lu Yang, my heart hurts so much. Save me, please?”

He was afraid of missing this second, missing it forever.

In her eyes, love could never triumph over family or faith.

But if her love could be only for him, what else did he need?

When could her love be for him?

“Do you like me, yes or no?” Jiang Yanzhou buried his face in her shoulder, his hair hiding the redness in his eyes but unable to conceal the dampness on his shoulders.

For a long time, Lu Yang pushed him away. “Mingyu called me. I have to board the plane.”

Jiang Yanzhou weakly released his grip.

No one could keep her.

He was no exception.

Lu Yang turned around and took a few steps before suddenly turning back and running towards him. She hooked her arm around his neck and gently rubbed the short hair on the back of his head with her fingers, tiptoed, and her lips brushed against his ear. “Wait for me, I’ll come back.”

“Lu Yang.”

Lu Yang frowned as she heard someone calling her, reluctantly opening her eyes to find herself surrounded by darkness.

Jiang Yanzhou reached out and turned on the warm yellow light on the bedside, gently brushing her bangs and feeling the cold sweat on her forehead. “Did you have a nightmare?”

Lu Yang curled up in his embrace, listening to the strong and steady beating of his heart. Her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

In a vague tone, Lu Yang uttered, “You gave me a bracelet, and I gave you a hair tie. I kissed you, and you kissed me.”

The bittersweet taste of his persistence, her habit of having nightmares without wearing the bracelet—they all had answers.

She woke up in the middle of the night, and her mind was unusually clear. Lu Yang closed her eyes, and a flurry of memories rushed through her mind. At the same time, doubts sprouted incessantly in her heart.

According to this timeline, she went to another world after leaving Holsten. When she returned, Jiang Yanzhou found her. Did that mean he actually knew about her experiences?

Moreover, although their personalities were different, deep down they both had a tendency to control the situation. Such personalities would never tolerate having their lives arranged for them. If the reason she and him separated wasn’t because the Jiang family intended to form an alliance with the Su family, then what was the reason?

What role did her brother play in all of this?

A soft and gentle kiss landed on the corner of her eye, and Lu Yang couldn’t help but smile. “Are you stealing a kiss from me?”

“Caught in the act.”

It seemed he knew what she was thinking, and he made a promise, word by word: “There is no eternal love in this world, so I will love you more and more..”
