"There's a lounge inside. There's also a gym next door, want to take a look?"
Tong An'an only knew his office was big, she didn't expect it to be so extravagant. She went to see it with him.
She discovered the lounge was like a small apartment, with a bathroom, dressing room, and bed. It had everything.
"You really know how to enjoy life. I thought you were always incredibly busy."
Jiang Jingyu said, "I'm going to enjoy life now. Less nonsense, take off your shoes."
He pulled Tong An'an towards the bed, and Tong An'an was startled.
"You, you, what are you doing? I don't want to sleep here."
Jiang Jingyu was amused by her again. "Don't worry, it's just for sleeping. If you're worried, we can put the quilt between us. I promise I won't touch you."
Tong An'an was coaxed into lying down by him, 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 area before, girls seemed to naturally rely on larger beings than themselves.
She rested her head on his arm, her face instinctively wanting to nestle into his embrace.
She was like a docile cat, nestled in his arms, making Jiang Jingyu's protective instincts surge.
He held her tightly, gently patting her back. "Okay, be good, sleep now."
But Tong An'an was too happy and excited to sleep.
Her mind was floating, as if she were on a cloud of cotton, blissfully wanting to giggle.
Jiang Jingyu patted her for several minutes, thinking she had fallen asleep. He looked down and saw her giggling, and couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"I worked so hard to coax you, 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 eyes. "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 bring something in."
He said he was bringing one thing, but he brought two.
He leaned over the edge 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 her eyes widened when she saw the brand. She was stunned.
It was high-end cosmetics. A complete set.
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 beforehand? I have my own face cream."
Jiang Jingyu looked at her. "You have your own, but I want to give it to you. It's my gesture, and there's no conflict."
"There's no conflict, but it's a waste. I don't lack these things."
"I'm planning to pester you to chat with me every day from now on, so I'm arranging something to deal with your dark circles in advance, so you don't use them as an excuse to ignore me. Just tell me if you like it."
No girl dislikes cosmetics, especially such high-end ones.
Since he had already bought it, Tong An'an had no choice but to accept it.
"Don't buy any more in the future. Although I don't earn as much as you, I can still take care of my basic needs."
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 very ordinary. 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 in the future."
Jiang Jingyu felt even more protective of girls who valued their self-respect.
"It's nothing expensive. Open it and see. I won't give you any more tomorrow."
Tong An'an curled her feet up in the quilt and opened the box. What greeted her eyes was a small red teapot.
The shape was so familiar.
When she took it all out, it turned out to be a teapot-shaped alarm clock.
The clock face was on the body of the pot, and the teapot lid on top would jump every time the alarm rang.
It was exactly like her childhood toy.
"How do you have this?"
She sat up in surprise.
"I had an identical alarm clock when I was a child, but my mom gave it away. I haven't seen it for many years. Where did you get it?"
She realized, "Did you hear my mom say something yesterday?"
Seeing that she liked it, Jiang Jingyu climbed onto the bed, satisfied, and pulled her into his arms again.
"Yes, I heard Auntie say it yesterday. So I had Zhang Yang run around all morning to find an identical one. I'm happy to see you like it."
Tong An'an looked at the toy repeatedly, and childhood memories flooded back.
Thinking about her childhood self and then looking at the current Jiang Jingyu, she suddenly felt so happy she didn't know what to do.
She proactively reached out and hugged Jiang Jingyu, burying her face deeply in his chest, and tears fell.
"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 felt wet and cool. Jiang Jingyu knew she was crying.
She was crying from being touched. His heart also felt a pang of emotion.
"Are you silly? A toy worth tens of yuan makes you this emotional? You're too pathetic."
"I am pathetic, and I just feel you're too good to me. In my life, this is the first time I've met someone so good to me. 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 I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to?"
"Are you worried I'll suddenly change my mind later? I won't. I promise you. If I change my mind halfway, may lightning strike me 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 time, she was willing to believe his words.
Jiang Jingyu wiped her tears while teasing her.
"You, you've just had too little experience and seen too little. Do you know that other women, when dating, ask their boyfriends for cars, houses, and designer bags?"
"Some ask for millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions. You're too easily fooled."
Tong An'an didn't care about others. The education she received since childhood told her that even taking a penny's worth of a gift from someone required reciprocation.
She didn't know how to repay him, but she knew 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 made Jiang Jingyu freeze for a moment.
After reacting, he looked at her with piercing eyes.
"Tong An'an. Are you sure you're ready, and you're serious now?"
Is there a difference between seriousness and falseness in this matter?
Tong An'an steeled herself and touched his lips again.
Jiang Jingyu couldn't hold back any longer.
He cupped the back of her head and, with decisive action, pulled her down.
