Before Jiang Tong could respond, she just shoved the milk tea into her arms, and then sneakily ran to the restroom.
Jiang Tong held the milk tea in her hand, her lips twitching slightly.
Ouyang Jingxian left, and suddenly it became quiet around.
Gu Qize awkwardly touched his nose, keenly noticing Jiang Huai Bei not far from him.
"Oh, uh, Little Jiangjiang, I’m leaving now, I’ll come back to find you later." He grinned roguishly and threw a flirty wink at Jiang Tong.
Jiang Tong raised an eyebrow but did not reply.
Seeing she didn’t answer, Gu Qize didn’t mind, and continued to smile and wave at her.
But when he turned around, his expression suddenly turned cold.
After what just happened, he had to go remind his third brother.
His so-called fiancée...
Isn’t quite ideal...
Not long after Gu Qize left, Qi Feng returned, holding a plate of strawberry cake.
"Here, I saw it when passing the dining table earlier, I remember you love eating this." He smiled warmly as he handed the cake to Jiang Tong.
Seeing the strawberry cake in front of her, Jiang Tong’s eyes sparkled, feeling like the earlier troubles were gone.
Seeing her satisfied look, Qi Feng smiled, his gaze falling on the milk tea in her hand.
"When did you get milk tea?"
He remembered there wasn’t such a thing at the party.
Jiang Tong slightly raised her head, "Ouyang Jingxian’s."
"Hm? Jingxian’s?"
...
The unidirectional glass terrace on the second floor.
Bao Nan leaned against the marble railing, holding a cup of champagne, gently swaying it.
He gazed in a certain direction downstairs, his cold face taut.
"What’s wrong? What are you looking at?"
Lu Yuxuan had just finished greeting guests, and considering that he and Bao Nan were colleagues, he came up to see what was going on.
But he only saw Bao Nan staring in the same direction, standing still for half an hour.
His curious gaze followed.
He could only see the figures of a man and a woman standing in the corner.
But when he clearly saw the woman’s face, he suddenly understood what was going on.
Jiang Tong.
Back then, the school beauty of Hengchuan Middle School.
"It’s said that unspoken love is a lone war... Seeing the one you love by someone else’s side, you actually can remain so calm."
Lu Yuxuan shook the champagne in his hand, his eyes flashing with a teasing smile.
With Bao Nan’s proud personality, he shouldn’t be so passive.
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan glanced at him coldly, "Does it matter whose side she’s by?"
"Oh?"
"Her happiness is the most important thing, isn’t it?" When he said this, a trace of softness surprisingly flashed in Bao Nan’s otherwise emotionless cold eyes.
Hearing him say this, Lu Yuxuan was taken aback, his mouth opening wide.
He hadn’t expected that the noble Bao Nan would have such a tender side...
Through the glass window, one could clearly see a certain young woman smiling radiantly because she’d gotten to eat strawberry cake.
Bao Nan curled his lips, took a sip of his champagne, his tone calm:
"Not all love needs to be spoken out loud; being able to be her friend... I’m already very satisfied."
For Bao Nan, his love for Jiang Tong was never about force or possession.
When Jiang Tong needed him, he would be the first to rush to her side, shielding her from the storm.
When Jiang Tong didn’t need him, he would willingly stay in the background, silently protecting her.
The so-called deep love, that’s all there is.
You can question everything about Bao Nan, but you can’t deny his love for Jiang Tong.
He really does love Jiang Tong...
