“Who says I’m not a curious person?” Zhou Jingyun paused for a moment and suddenly grabbed Jiang Tong’s hand. He turned around to face Jiang Tong, and his finger swept across Jiang Tong’s palm. He said very slowly, “I’m now… very curious about you.” Under the effect of alcohol, Zhou Jingyun was indeed not quite the same as usual.
“You want to know about me so much?” Jiang Tong didn’t take her hand back and let Zhou Jingyun randomly scratch it.
“Can’t I? Can’t I get to know you? You’re the most mysterious woman I’ve ever met. There’s something fascinating about you.” Zhou Jingyun’s words were very direct. Jiang Tong’s reply was even more direct as she asked, “Are you in love with me?”
“I’m not in love with you.” Zhou Jingyun shook his head and looked at Jiang Tong. “I just feel that… I have to admit the fact that you really meet my requirements for a partner.”
“Wow, that doesn’t sound like good news,” Jiang Tong smiled strangely. Zhou Jingyun narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re deliberately belittling me.” Jiang Tong shook her head and replied, “No, I just…”
Before Jiang Tong could finish her words, Zhou Jingyun suddenly grabbed her waist and lowered his head to kiss her. It was even more sudden than the night before at the alley entrance. But this time, Zhou Jingyun kissed her. His kiss was very meticulous and slow, his breathing was heavy. It was obvious that he was not familiar with kissing. A hint of a smile flashed across Jiang Tong’s eyes. Then, she slowly guided him and responded to him. Just like that, the two of them embraced each other in the forest where people came and went, slowly savoring each other’s tastes.
Zhou Jingyun’s bodyguards stopped in the distance and did not come any closer. Among the people who passed by the woods, there were also some who saw Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong’s movements. Among them, there were also some young couples. After seeing Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong, they looked at each other and snickered. No one came forward to disturb Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong, so no one noticed that the window of a black SUV was open on the roadside far away, and a woman holding a pair of binoculars saw them kissing. She quickly put down the binoculars, picked up an SLR camera, and adjusted the focus. She zoomed in and captured this scene.
After about ten seconds, or even longer, Zhou Jingyun leaned back and looked down at Jiang Tong after pulling away. He pursed his lips and asked with a smile, “Why didn’t you push me away?”
“Why do I have to push you away?” Jiang Tong licked her lips. In the past five hundred years, she had kissed Zhou Jingyun countless times and done even more outrageous things with him, but none of them were as exciting as this. Perhaps… it was because she had broken away from the repeated time loop? It finally made her feel real.
“You’ve always shown that you don’t like me, that you won’t fall in love with me, and even deliberately belittled me. So when I kiss you, shouldn’t you push me away?” Zhou Jingyun smiled and continued, “Didn’t you say that there are people who are more handsome and richer than me?”
“It’s not the same thing, is it?” Jiang Tong touched the tip of her nose.
“How is it not the same thing? Then how do you explain why you didn’t push me away when you clearly don’t fancy me?” Zhou Jingyun refused to give up.
Jiang Tong clicked her tongue and looked up at Zhou Jingyun. “You took the initiative to come over and let me kiss you. I’m not a b*stard that takes advantage of people.”
Zhou Jingyun almost couldn’t catch his breath. He was rendered speechless by Jiang Tong’s words. He didn’t know why, but whenever Jiang Tong said such words, he felt especially angry.
“Forget it, just keep your mouth shut.” Zhou Jingyun was displeased. He hooked his arm around Jiang Tong’s shoulder and strode back. “Let’s go, it’s time to go back to the company.”
When Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong returned to Jingyun Fashion, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon. When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Zhou Jingyun was almost sober from the alcohol. He wasn’t particularly drunk originally, but Zhou Jingyun had to work overtime today as the spokesperson had changed and all the arrangements had to be readjusted. Therefore, he couldn’t have dinner with Jiang Tong tonight. Jiang Tong didn’t go back to the company with Zhou Jingyun. She got out of the car in the underground parking lot and went to drive her Lamborghini home!
After returning to South Washington, Jiang Tong went to the basement to work out. This gym had the complete set of fitness equipment that Zhou Mingfei had bought previously. It was like a large gym. Yesterday, Jiang Tong had done some simple exercises, in the morning and she woke up in excruciating pain. After the massage, she felt a little better. She estimated that she would still feel uncomfortable the next day but it would not hinder her movements.
At around ten o’clock in the evening, Jiang Tong, who was extremely exhausted, fell into a deep sleep. She did not have any dreams the entire night. The next morning, when she woke up, she first looked at the news for a while before making a call to Zhou Jingyun. Then, she slowly went downstairs to eat breakfast.
