"There's a lounge inside. There's also a gym next to it. Want to go take a look?"
Tong An'an only knew his office was large, but she hadn't expected it to be this extravagant. She went to see it with him.
She found the lounge was like a small home, complete with a bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a bed. It had everything.
"You really know how to enjoy life. I thought you were busy all the time."
Jiang Jingyu said, "Now I'm going to enjoy life. Less talking, take off your shoes."
He pulled Tong An'an towards the bed, startling her.
"You, you, what are you doing? I don't want to sleep at your place."
Jiang Jingyu was amused by her again. "Don't worry, it's just for sleeping. If you're not comfortable, we can put the quilt between us, and I promise I won't touch you."
Tong An'an was coaxed and cajoled into lying down, with a thin quilt separating them.
Jiang Jingyu extended his arm for her to rest her head on.
Although she had no experience in this regard, it seemed that females were naturally inclined to depend on larger beings.
She rested her head on his arm, and her face instinctively moved towards his chest.
She was like a docile cat, nestled in his embrace, igniting Jiang Jingyu's protective instincts.
He held her tightly and gently patted her back. "Alright, be good, go to sleep."
But Tong An'an was both happy and excited, how could she sleep?
Her heart felt buoyant, as if floating on cotton, and she just wanted to smile foolishly.
Jiang Jingyu patted her for several minutes, thinking she had fallen asleep. He looked down and saw her smiling foolishly, so he couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"I've been coaxing you for so long, why aren't you asleep yet? What are you smiling about?"
Tong An'an quickly closed her eyes. "Nothing, I'm going to sleep now."
"Can't you sleep? How about we chat?"
Tong An'an tilted her face up, meeting his gaze. "Chat about what?"
"Chat about why your face is so beautiful and why you're so cute."
Nonsense!
Tong An'an immediately felt shy again.
Jiang Jingyu smiled again, then said, "Wait for me, I'll go get something."
He said he was getting one thing, but he brought back two.
He leaned over the side of the bed and pushed a large gift box towards Tong An'an.
Tong An'an asked him what it was. "Open it and see."
Tong An'an pulled the ribbon open and was stunned when she saw the brand inside.
It was a set of very expensive cosmetics.
She hadn't expected to receive such a valuable gift on the second day of being his girlfriend.
"For me?"
"Who else? How many girlfriends do I have?"
Tong An'an felt embarrassed to accept it. "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I have products for my face."
Jiang Jingyu looked at her. "You have your own, but I want to give it to you, and that's my gesture. They don't conflict."
"They don't conflict, but it's a waste. I don't lack these things."
"I'm planning to pester you every day from now on and ask you to chat with me. I'm arranging for something to treat your dark circles in advance, so you don't use it as an excuse not to talk to me. Just tell me if you like it."
No girl dislikes cosmetics, especially such expensive ones.
Since it had already been bought, Tong An'an had no choice but to accept it.
"Don't buy any more from now on. Although I don't earn as much as you, I can still afford my basic living expenses."
Jiang Jingyu helped her put the gift box on the bedside table and took out the second gift.
"Guess what this is?"
This one was much smaller than the previous one, and the box was quite ordinary, so Tong An'an really couldn't guess.
"You're too much. Giving two gifts in one day, I feel so much pressure. If this continues, I'll be too embarrassed to see you."
"I don't like this, don't give me any more."
Jiang Jingyu felt even more affection for a girl who valued herself.
"It's not anything expensive, open it and see. I won't give you any more tomorrow."
Tong An'an propped herself up in bed on her tiptoes and opened the box. What greeted her eyes was a small red teapot.
The shape was so familiar.
When she took everything out, it turned out to be a teapot-shaped alarm clock.
The clock face was on the belly of the pot, and the teapot lid on top would jump whenever the alarm rang.
It was exactly like her childhood toy.
"How did you get this?"
She sat up in surprise.
"I had an alarm clock just like this when I was little. My mom gave it away later, and I haven't seen it for many years. Where did you get it?"
She realized, "Did you hear Mom say something yesterday?"
Seeing that she liked it, Jiang Jingyu climbed onto the bed, satisfied, and pulled her into his embrace again.
"Yes, I heard Auntie say something yesterday. So I asked Zhang Yang to run around all morning to find another identical one. I'm happy when I see you like it."
Tong An'an looked at the toy repeatedly, and memories of her childhood flooded back.
Thinking about her past self, and then looking at the current Jiang Jingyu, she suddenly felt so happy that she didn't know what to do.
She actively reached out to hug Jiang Jingyu, burying her face deeply in his chest, tears welling up.
"Why are you so good to me? I don't know what to do. You're too good to me."
The shirt on his chest was wet and cool. Jiang Jingyu knew she was crying.
She was crying from being touched. His heart also felt a little sore.
"Are you silly? A toy worth tens of yuan makes you so emotional? You're too pathetic."
"I am pathetic, and I just feel you're too good to me. I've never met anyone who is so good to me in my life. What am I supposed to do with you like this?"
"What do you mean 'what to do'? What are you thinking?"
Tong An'an didn't know what she was thinking either.
She was just afraid of being spoiled by Jiang Jingyu.
Jiang Jingyu cupped her face. "Silly girl, I told you, I'm pursuing you with marriage in mind. If not you, then who else should I be good to?"
"Are you worried I might change my mind later? Don't worry, I promise you. If I change my mind halfway, may lightning strike me dead, and may I die a horrible death."
Tong An'an quickly covered his mouth.
Although she didn't know how Jiang Jingyu had become so certain of his feelings for her in such a short period, she was willing to believe his words.
Jiang Jingyu wiped her tears while teasing her.
"You know, you've experienced too little and seen too little. Do you know that when other women are in love, they expect their boyfriends to buy them cars, houses, and designer bags?"
"Millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions are common. You're too easily fooled."
Tong An'an didn't care about others. Her upbringing told her that even taking a single dollar's worth of a gift from someone required repayment.
She didn't know how to repay him, but she knew that Jiang Jingyu liked her and wanted to kiss her.
So, as soon as Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, she closed her eyes and proactively leaned forward to touch his lips.
The soft touch stunned Jiang Jingyu for a moment.
After reacting, he looked at her with burning eyes.
"Tong An'an. Are you sure you're ready, and you're serious about this?"
Is there a real and fake to this matter?
Tong An'an steeled herself and touched his lips again.
Jiang Jingyu couldn't hold back anymore.
He held the back of her head and, with a decisive move, pressed her down.
