Gold Medal Sweetheart

"Before I returned home, I did talk to Shao Xiong about it. I didn't expect Shao Xiong to flatly refuse. That's why he called me back from abroad."

"With your relationship with Shao Chengxue..." Tang Xin paused, "Didn't she also speak up for Uncle Jin and try to get a chance for Shi Tian?"

Before the Shi Tian crisis, Shao Chengxue and Jin Taize should have been in a relationship, but later because of Shao's avoidance of Shi Tian, Jin Taize and Shao Chengxue became strangers.

However, worried that the old love affair would bring back sad memories for Jin Taize, Tang Xin still expressed her thoughts tactfully.

"In the business world, the most important thing is to have a permanent partner that benefits from others. The world is fickle and people are fickle. It's normal." Jin Taize's eyes showed a calmness that seemed to see through everything.

Then he turned to Tang Xin and said seriously, "But I still need to clarify one thing. Although the Jin family and the Shao family have known each other for many years, I have never had a relationship with Shao Chengxue beyond friendship. I haven't even had such a thought. And strictly speaking, in terms of relationship, she and I can only be considered acquaintances at most."

"The media previously reported that you attended an event together..."

Tang Xin didn't know how she had unknowingly asked all the questions about Shao Chengxue. In fact, she was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's private affairs.

"At that time, Shi Tian hadn't yet faced a crisis and was at its peak. Of course, Shao Xiong would be friendly with my family. My mother didn't dislike Shao Chengxue, so she always let me take her with her to events. This provided resources for media coverage, and when the news spread, Shao Xiong was of course happy to see it happen."

This was the first time that Jin Taize took the initiative to formally talk to him about his past with this woman since Shao Chengxue appeared in his life.

But what surprised Tang Xin even more this time was that it turned out that Shao Chengxue and Jin Taize had never been together.

It seems that what I thought before about him and Shao Chengxue's so-called reconciliation was really a misunderstanding.

"I really thought you were ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend."

Tang Xin shamefully complained about her own imagination.

"Teacher Tang, I'm really wronged."

At this time, Mr. Jin explained word by word, with a softened tone and a face full of grievance, which made Teacher Tang feel like he was talking to a student who was wrongly accused.

But how come Teacher Tang is the one who feels embarrassed at this moment as she acts coquettishly and cutely in front of this 1.8-meter-tall man?

Avoiding Jin Taize's gaze, Tang Xin continued, "But when I first met Shao Chengxue, a woman's nature made me think that she really liked you."

"Maybe she has feelings for me that go beyond those of an average man and woman, and she should be trying to be with me, but I think 'possession' is a more accurate word," Kim Tae-taek said, putting on an objective analysis. "But it's definitely not true love from the heart."

"Isn't it from the bottom of your heart?"

"If it were you, would you abandon me when my family was facing financial difficulties?"

Jin Taize did not directly answer Tang Xin's question, but looked at her without blinking, his voice so light that there was no emotion at all, as if the protagonist of this question had nothing to do with him.

"of course not!"

Tang Xin spoke out his most direct thoughts without hesitation.

There was a moment of shock on the man's face, and the overwhelming emotion in his eyes seemed to overwhelm him. But within a few seconds, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smile from the bottom of his heart bloomed, "Thank you, Teacher Tang, for not abandoning me."

Then he added, “That’s the difference between liking it and not liking it.”

Waves of heat pushed away her face. Looking at the man's surging gaze like the tide, Tang Xin's heart suddenly tightened. Her words revealed an ambiguous confession.

Teacher Tang then gave an awkward dry laugh and jokingly said, "Haha, your analogy is quite clear, but it's also flawed. It's not that I'm a noble person, nor that I'm loyal in love. It's just that I'm a face-chaser. When it comes to men, I only care about their looks, not their money."
