A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

"I know I have no right to advise you, but do you really not need to talk to Chi Ruiche?"

Jiang Yang actually wanted to give her some advice.

"If I told him, he would definitely marry me, wouldn't he?" Jiang Yi said, her brows furrowed, her expression a mixture of grievance and pride.

Jiang Yang remained silent. She was right; if Chi Ruiche knew, he would definitely marry her.

“Brother, I know that Chi Ruiche has a plan. If I continue to stay by his side, I will only be a burden and a weakness to him. And Uncle Chi and the others do not agree with this. How can such a calm person change his plans because of me?”

Jiang Yi knew everything; she knew the Chi family's concerns and thoughts.

“Ever since the car accident, Che has been asking me where I am all the time. At first, I didn’t think much of it, until one time when my phone was dead while I was filming, he actually abandoned his clients to come over just to make sure I was there. He pretended to be nonchalant, but I couldn’t hide the relief he showed at that moment.”

“He must have something on his mind. I stayed with him until the day he called and I heard him say, ‘I’ve arranged everything, Grandpa. I will handle the relationship between Xiao Yi and me.’”

That was all he said, without any explanation. I think he did it on purpose so I would hear it. After that, we broke up.

"You actually knew all of this." Jiang Yang was surprised that she had kept so many things to herself.

“Now that I can no longer be his weakness, it’s a good thing for him.” Chi Ruiche never said “I love you” to Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi understood him, so how could Chi Ruiche bear to do that?

"I was being foolish just now."

Jiang Yang hadn't expected the relationship between the two to be so deep. He didn't know what Chi Ruiche was hiding, but he couldn't bear to hurt Jiang Yi. It could be said that everything he did was for Jiang Yi's sake.

"Grandpa didn't want me to marry Chi Ruiche for this reason. Actually, I understand their thoughts. You don't tell me anything, you want me to live a carefree and happy life."

The most similar thing between Jiang Yang and Jiang Yi is that they are both very perceptive and can see through other people's hearts.

"I wish you were still the lawless Jiang Yi."

Yes, back then she did things entirely according to her own likes and dislikes, acting recklessly. When did she become so meticulous and cautious?

Jiang Yi didn't say anything. Jiang Yang accompanied her into the apartment. Jiang Yi went into the bedroom and said, "Brother, I'm tired. I want to get some sleep."

"Okay, you take a rest first. I still have some things to take care of. You stay home and behave yourself."

Jiang Yang glanced at his watch; this whole ordeal had made it late. "I'll ask Aunt Meng to make something nice and bring it over."

"Brother, don't worry about me. I have no appetite right now. Let's eat when I feel like it."

After Jiang finished speaking, he closed the door and snuggled into the quilt. Perhaps he was really tired, because he soon fell into a deep sleep.

Chi Ruiche glanced at the time; it was time for their restaurant reservation. He changed out of his suit and went to the theater. Dinner was booked at a hotel next to the theater, as many other people would be coming.

Jiang Yang faxed over a document, glanced at the time, and left. Dinner was formal; not only the Jiang family, but the entire Chi family was present.

Grandpa Chi married two wives. His first wife gave birth to three sons: the eldest son, Chi Xingguo, who is also Chi Ruiche's father; the second son, Chi Changguo, who had no children; and the third son, Chi Qingguo, who was engaged to the third daughter of the Jiang family. He became disabled in both legs due to a car accident.

Grandpa Chi's second wife and he had been together for a long time. After Grandma Chi passed away, Grandpa Chi officially registered their marriage. The two had two sons. The eldest son, Chi Qiuyuan, also gave the Chi family two grandsons, Chi Chenghao and Chi Chengling, who were about the same age as Chi Ruiche. The second son, Chi Dongyuan, had a son, Chi Chengyu.

Therefore, Chi Ruiche became the only grandson on Grandma Chi's side, and Uncle Chi was strict with him, determined to make him the heir of the Chi family.
