Zhang Tianxing was a little surprised to suddenly hear Jian Ai's confession, but he just shook his head lightly.
"Thank you, you are a good girl. I have no intention of getting married right now, let alone that we are of different ages, nationalities, and cultures. I am not a good match for you." Without saying much more, he decided to give her the friend zone first.
Jian Ai's emotions were a bit agitated: "Zhang Tianxing, I truly like you. If it's true love between us, age isn't a problem, nationality isn't a problem, and cultural differences are even less of a problem. I will change."
When a woman falls in love, nothing in this world is impossible to change. She will possess the ability and belief to change the world.
"Please don't be like this, Jian Ai. You are unique in the world, and there's no need for you to change for anyone. No one is worth you changing for. You are a girl, and Cupid's arrow just hasn't found your other half yet. You must believe in yourself and the future," Zhang Tianxing said softly. .oΓg
"I don't care, Zhang Tianxing. I just want to tell you one thing: whether you like me or not is your business. I like you, and that's my business. I make my own decisions," Jian Ai's eyes revealed a stubbornness.
This is my freedom, even if it's like a moth flying into a flame, a love with no outcome, yet she wouldn't let go.
How could she not? At the most critical moment, she saw Zhang Tianxing make his move. It was from that moment on that her heart could no longer hold anyone else.
"Jian Ai, how about this, we are friends, right?"
Jian Ai nodded without speaking, wanting to see what Zhang Tianxing would say.
"It's not that I don't like you that I haven't agreed, but I currently have no plans to get married. This isn't just for you; it's for everyone," Zhang Tianxing quickly added an explanation.
Hearing this, Jian Ai's gaze couldn't help but drift towards Zhang Tianxing's lower body, her eyes conveying a question.
"Don't overthink it, I'm normal... Forget it, think whatever you want." Zhang Tianxing didn't want to explain anymore. Jian Ai nodded obediently, indicating that she understood all of this.
"Guo Jiajia also likes you, doesn't she?" Jian Ai's voice sounded softly. Such a beautiful and capable powerful woman, willing to be someone's secretary, and such a competent one at that.
If she didn't have someone in her heart, how could Guo Jiajia have achieved this? No matter how hard or tired she was, Guo Jiajia never complained.
"Perhaps. It's just that, as I've said, I have no intention of getting married, and I don't plan to play around with any of you. We're all friends, and I still need to maintain my social circle," Zhang Tianxing was a bit speechless.
Damn it, is this how one pursues someone?
I am currently single, and women only affect my earning speed.
I will not give up the entire forest for one tree.
This world is so beautiful, so wonderful, and there's so much good life to enjoy. Why get married now, with a wife, children, and a warm hearth?
Undeniably, Zhang Tianxing yearned for that kind of life.
However, Zhang Tianxing still had many things to do now. He didn't have the time or energy to take care of a small family.
Hearing this, Jian Ai felt a little better. But she widened her beautiful eyes and asked,
"But I've heard that all of you Chinese people are proud to marry our white, blonde women. My bloodline is very pure."
Hearing Jian Ai's words, Zhang Tianxing felt a mixture of amusement and helplessness.
"My dear, I have no idea where you heard this nonsensical information. I'm truly impressed. People say all sorts of things. What did they say?"
"They said Chinese people are actually very realistic and tend to look down on the poor and fawn over the rich. My family's financial condition is quite good."
Jian Ai was about to continue, but Zhang Tianxing interrupted her, "Enough. If you want to say something, just say it directly. Don't talk about other things. I've made myself very clear. If you keep talking like this, we won't even be friends."
"Alright, it was a certain 'expert' from your country, who explicitly said that if a top student finds a good job in the provincial capital, they can pick any woman in the province. If they find a good job in your country's capital, they can pick any woman in China. If they make a name for themselves in America, they can pick any of us noble, pure-blooded, blonde Caucasian women."
After Jian Ai finished, she looked at Zhang Tianxing with dissatisfaction, "But your expression tells me that this expert is completely wrong. I've practically thrown myself at you, and you're still indifferent. It seems I've been deceived."
Zhang Tianxing was utterly speechless. What was this? What kind of person said this? Damn it, it completely ruined people's views.
Seeing Zhang Tianxing's astonished expression, Jian Ai asked in surprise, "Are you saying this expert is right?"
"Right my ass! I want to curse. He's only fit to find a sow. I don't understand, how idiotic do you have to be to say something like that?" Zhang Tianxing was so angry he found it funny. This expert really dared to speak, surely his brain had been flooded and his cerebellum was lacking oxygen to utter such words.
"But that expert said you people have changed. You only look at the results, not the process, isn't that right?" Jian Ai retorted. She had also interacted with quite a few Chinese people.
Those who could survive in America were all very calculating.
Because they all knew one thing: if they failed, they would have to return to China in disgrace. They had finally come to America and didn't want to go back. They wanted to live a life of luxury and extravagance in America.
"No, that's just a lifestyle choice. Existence is rational. It's not wrong whether you only look at results or only look at processes," Zhang Tianxing looked up at the sky.
White clouds drifted in the sky. The sky here was very blue, and the clouds were so white. Such scenery was rarely seen in China.
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's philosophical words, Jian Ai was completely mesmerized. She never expected that this rugged man like Zhang Tianxing could utter such words, it truly refreshed her worldview.
"White clouds are flying in the sky, cows are chasing on the ground. Don't believe what experts and professors say; just take it as entertainment," Zhang Tianxing concluded his conversation with Jian Ai.
"I'm going back to pack my things and prepare to leave immediately."
"Can you stay here? My father is very interested in your mobile phone industry. He wants to invest. If you're willing, he can help you with the location and equipment, and even assist with some patent matters." Jian Ai threw out a bait, to see if Zhang Tianxing would be tempted.
Good heavens, it seemed Jian Ai's father was really going all out this time. With such conditions, he could build a factory himself. What a pity, he had no intention of staying here.
"I'm sorry, please thank your father for me. I believe we will cooperate in the future," Zhang Tianxing refused Jian Ai's father's kind offer.
