Xu Hongdou nodded slightly and said softly, "I know."

There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she had understood the deep meaning of Aunt Yang Lin's words.

Aunt Yang Lin looked at Xu Hongdou with admiration in her eyes: "You don't lose your temper easily, but tend to hold grievances in your heart."

Xu Hongdou pouted and said coquettishly, "Even if I don't say anything, he can still sense it."

As she spoke, a sweet smile appeared on her face, as if she was recalling every moment with him.

Aunt Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, then she said with emotion: "Yes, you don't know, sometimes I envy you."

There was a hint of envy and a hint of relief in that tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Hongdou's pretty face flushed instantly. She lowered her head shyly, but her heart felt like a deer was beating wildly.

Time passed and it was the last day of August.

Kyoto was still enveloped in the warmth of midsummer, its blazing sun threatening to melt the city. At night, the stars dotted the sky like gems set against the black sky, emitting a mysterious glow.

Gu Jia took a leisurely walk on the roadside after dinner. She was wearing a light blue dress. The breeze blew gently, and the hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind, like a blooming blue flower.

Jiang Han followed Gu Jia, looking at her from time to time, his eyes full of love.

At this moment, Jiang Han's cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at Gu Jia apologetically, then answered the call.

There was a hurried voice coming from the other end of the phone. Jiang Han listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After Jiang Han finished the call, Gu Jia took the initiative to ask, "You are so busy every day, and you still come to accompany me. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, as if carrying a hint of worry.

Jiang Han stopped, turned around, looked at Gu Jia, and said firmly: "No matter how busy you are, you have to come. Didn't someone agree to be my girlfriend?"

Gu Jia hasn't heard the word "girlfriend" from the opposite sex for a long time.

In an instant, she felt hot all over, sweat broke out on her palms, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

Her cheeks flushed, her eyes were a little flustered, and she didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Han's eyes.

"Can you...really accept me?" Gu Jia said softly, with a hint of confusion in her voice.

"If you still doubt my feelings, I will use time to prove it."

Jiang Han reached out and gently held Gu Jia's hand. The warm touch caused ripples in Gu Jia's heart.

Seeing Gu Jia remained silent, Jiang Han continued, "Actually, I had a private chat with Hongdou and the others yesterday afternoon."

Gu Jia suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Han anxiously, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

Her hands unconsciously tightened around the straps of her bag, as if searching for a sense of security.

"Have you told Hongdou and the others about my situation?" Gu Jia asked nervously.

"No." Jiang Han shook his head, his eyes still firm.

"Then what should I say to them?" Gu Jia asked doubtfully.

"It's normal. They even said that they wanted you to be their elder sister." Jiang Han explained with a smile.

"I... am a sister?" Gu Jia's pretty face turned slightly red, and the tension in her heart eased a little.

She was so excited that she asked, "What else did they say?"

Jiang Han gently took Gu Jia's hand and led her to a bench on the side of the road, where they sat down.

Jiang Han looked at Gu Jia and said seriously, "I told them a lot about your past..."

Gu Jia's fair face quickly turned red, and she felt her heart beating like a drum, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Her hands were trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of emotion and shyness.

"I... I'm not as good as you think." Gu Jia said softly, with a hint of inferiority in her voice.

"Then give yourself a chance." Jiang Han stopped and said sincerely, "I like you. This is not just sweet talk, it's my true feelings."

Gu Jia also stopped, slowly raised her head and looked at Jiang Han.

The moonlight shone on her flushed face, and her eyes were full of hesitation and struggle. After a long time, she whispered, "Jiang Han, you are good in every way, so good that I can't believe you like me.

During this time, I have been trying hard to restrain myself from falling in love with you, because I... I don't want to experience the pain of losing a loved one again."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and she burst into tears.

Those tears seemed to be the release of the emotions that she had suppressed in her heart for many years, and every drop was filled with her pain and helplessness.

Jiang Han took a step forward and gently embraced her in his arms, holding her tightly, letting her tears soak his shirt. He patted Gu Jia's back gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I won't let you get hurt again."

In Jiang Han's warm embrace, Gu Jia gradually stopped crying. She closed her eyes, feeling Jiang Han's heartbeat and body temperature, and the fear and anxiety in her heart gradually dissipated.

229: Wen Yifan's fatal question and answer

229: Wen Yifan's fatal question and answer

September st.

It is the first day of school for primary and secondary school students, and it is also the students’ least favorite holiday.

After Jiang Han settled the company's affairs, he came to Sang Yan's company.

When Sang Yan's assistant Lin Sisi saw him, she immediately came forward and said with a smile, "Boss Jiang, Boss Sang is in a meeting in the conference room. I'll take you there."

Jiang Han nodded and followed Lin Sisi to the meeting room.

The moment he pushed open the door, more than a dozen eyes in the conference room were all cast on him.

Jiang Han was slightly startled, then walked in calmly, his eyes scanning the data on the projector - that was the latest report on the cinema.

Seeing Jiang Han coming in, Sang Yan smiled and gestured for him to sit down at the "537" table. "You've arrived just in time. We were discussing the next round of financing for Pacific Cinemas."

After Jiang Han sat down, Sang Yan got straight to the point: "The additional investment we made at the end of last year has been burned through again. This time, they want 50 million. What do you think?"

The conference room was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Han.

Pacific Cinemas was a joint venture between Sang Yan and Jiang Han, but Sang Yan held a dominant position, so Sang Yan was better informed than Jiang Han.

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "Last year, the theater's profits were quite good. If this data is true, then there's no problem with following up with the investment. However, I don't have enough liquidity at the moment, so I'm afraid I can't invest with you this time."

"Your company is out of money?" Sang Yan asked with a raised eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Yeah." Jiang Han nodded calmly, without any fluctuation in his expression.

"That's easy," Sang Yan said with a meaningful smile, "I can lend you the money, and we can share the risk."

Hearing this, Jiang Han chuckled, "What if I can't pay it back?"

Sang Yan said with a wicked smile, "Then use Jiayue's current market value to offset a portion of my shares."

"I knew you weren't so kind," Jiang Han scolded with a smile, "So you're after Jiayue's shares."

"I can't help it, buddy, I'm just jealous." Sang Yan shrugged, a hint of envy in his tone, "How come you're so lucky? You started with an underwear factory, and now it's so big. You also started a film and television studio, and every one of them has been a huge success. I'm afraid your net worth must be over ten figures."

Jiang Han looked calm and was not surprised by this.

For him, it all came naturally.

After the meeting, Sang Yan took Jiang Han back to his office. After they sat down, Sang Yan asked, "Anything going on tonight?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Jiang Han replied.

"Come home with me for dinner." Sang Yan said with a smile, "My parents are asking you to go out for dinner, and that girl Sang Zhi keeps pestering me to take you with her."

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to call Wen Yifan?"

"Of course, I've told her everything." Sang Yan nodded.

"Then let's go together. I'll take Hongdou with us." Jiang Han suggested.

"Okay." Sang Yan agreed readily.

When it was time to get off work, the two left the company together and drove to the Hilldorf Hotel.

Jiang Han did not inform Xu Hongdou in advance, so when he sent a message asking her to come downstairs, Xu Hongdou was almost overjoyed.

……

Jiang Han sat in Sang Yan's car, while Xu Hongdou and Wen Yifan sat together in the back seat.

Xu Hongdou took the initiative to ask: "Where are we going?"

Jiang Han was about to answer when Sang Yan smiled and took over the conversation: "Come to my house for dinner."

Wen Yifan also laughed: "With them by my side, I don't feel nervous anymore... Sang Yan, can you tell your mom to stop calling me 'good boy'? It's okay when there's no one around, but if there's someone around, I..."

"I think it's great," Sang Yan said with a smile, "My mom calls you that because she likes you."

"Then why don't you shout? Don't you like me?" Wen Yifan glared at him in feigned dissatisfaction.

"Me!" Sang Yan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

Jiang Han rolled his eyes, too lazy to listen to Wen Yifan's lecture on her husband, and turned to look out the window.

Xu Hongdou in the back row poked his arm and handed him an orange-flavored lollipop with the wrapping already torn open.

Jiang Han put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the high-rise buildings on both sides that were rapidly receding with pleasure.

Just as he was about to doze off, Wen Yifan, who was sitting in the back row, browsed Weibo for a while, then suddenly came forward and asked seriously, "Sang Yan, I have a question for you."

"You say." Sang Yan replied.

Wen Yifan glanced at his phone and asked, "If we break up, will you find a girlfriend who looks like me?"

Sang Yan has become immune to this type of question because Wen Yifan often asks him similar questions out of the blue.

He even mastered the art of answering. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, because you are irreplaceable."

After saying this, Sang Yan smiled smugly.

Wen Yifan was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with this answer.

But seeing that Sang Yan was becoming more and more proficient in handling the situation, she felt a little unhappy, so she patted Xu Hongdou's thigh and winked at her.

Xu 4.0 Hongdou didn't want to cooperate at first, but she couldn't stand Wen Yifan constantly winking at her.

So, she also came forward and asked, "Jiang Han, if we break up, will you find someone who looks like me..."

Before Xu Hongdou finished speaking, Jiang Han shook his head decisively and said, "There are no ifs and buts. We will never break up."

"What the hell!" Sang Yan's eyes popped out.

Wen Yifan, who was originally in high spirits, immediately reached out and twisted Sang Yan's arm fiercely when he heard Jiang Han's answer, and shouted coquettishly: "Look at Jiang Han!"

Sang Yan wanted to die, and cursed in his heart: "Fuck you, how the hell did you come up with that kind of answer?"

The car was filled with laughter and joy for a while...

230: Visit the Sang Family

230: Visit the Sang Family

Xu Hongdou raised the corners of her lips, as if she was accustomed to Jiang Han always giving answers that made her heart move, because he always had a way to make her happy, like a breeze on her face in spring.

The vehicle slowly drove into the depths of a villa area and stopped in front of an elegant and unique single-family villa.

Behind the villa is a crystal clear river, and in front of it is an endless golf course. All the residents here are wealthy.

Li Ping heard the sound of a car outside the door and knew that her son was back. She trotted to the door and saw Wen Yifan getting out of the car. She smiled and said, "Baby, you're here? Come in, you're welcome."

Xu Hongdou and Jiang Han got out of the car together. Sang Yan quickly introduced them, "Mom, Jiang Han is here too. Next to him is Xu Hongdou, Jiang Han's girlfriend."

Li Ping was cheerful, and her eyes showed admiration: "Oh, it's good that you're here. Please come in and let's talk inside."

Although Jiang Han and Sang Yan have known each other for a long time, he rarely comes to their house on weekdays.

The four followed Li Ping into the house and saw two elders competing on the chessboard.

"Hello, uncle~"

"Hello, come and sit down."

Sang Rong waved his hand and gestured kindly for Jiang Han to sit next to him.
