Chapter 364 – Staying Put

Jiang Tao stared dazedly at the tearful Zi Shan, completely unresponsive, his brain truly blank, those who are unfamiliar with Jiang Tao will find that he is a very smiley and kind person, even if someone speaks ill of him, his counterattacks are all smiles as if he won’t get angry, and he likes to play with the children, very somewhat childish.

But people familiar with Jiang Tao know Jiang Tao is a very principled person, and very clever, often hanging on the face of the smile as if it were his mask, hiding his real emotional changes, but also confuse a lot of people’s eyes, his bottom line can not be touched, or else he is kind, not like to make enemies with people he used to the means of ruthless and amazing.

But no matter which Jiang Tao is resourceful, good at responding to any situation, no one has ever found Jiang Tao will be dumbfounded, completely at a loss for words – he intentionally showed certainly can not be counted, this is the first time he did not know how to react, unable to react, so all the machinations have left him, the only thing left is the eyes of Zi Shan’s face that is covered in tears on her face.

Jiang Tao had been in the middle of a crisis, and he had to say that he still had a secret joy after kissing Zi Shan, and at that time he was planning to kiss a little bit, but he couldn’t help kissing twice, if he wasn’t on the side of the street, if there weren’t so many reporters, if the fat man wasn’t standing right behind them, he might have kissed again – kissing would never have been just on the face! .

It still took a lot of perseverance to keep himself from kissing again, to stiffly raise his head to face the reporters, to cope with the situation, to let it all dissipate before it even happened. With that out of the way, the only thing he was worried about, or looking forward to, was wondering how Vixen would react.

Vixen’s tense face made his heart lift and he began to regret what he had done, why had he had to kiss Vixen? Now that he’d botched it, he wanted to slap himself – couldn’t help himself that much? He remembered that at one time he did not like to get close to women, that is, after having a night with Ma Li, why today is so “impulsive”?

What he didn’t realize was that the anger Zi Shan had been feeling had nothing to do with kissing her. What she cared about was that he was hurt, and that he had used that to make Li Rongqi’s and Ma Li’s troubles completely resolved – she cared about him, and shed tears for him.

Jiang Tao was blinded by the sudden happiness, but also by the heartache of Zi Shan’s sadness and worry – how can I let Zi Shan shed tears?

Zi Shan looked at him and couldn’t hold back her tears, how long had it been since she had felt the urge to cry? She had disliked tears since the time she and Feng Dayong had divorced, thinking it was too weak, thinking she shouldn’t have them anymore, but today she wasn’t sad, and yet the tears just flowed down unheeded, fighting to be the first, and no amount of effort on her part could stop them from running out of her eyes.

“I’m not a flower, never want to be a flower again, I just want to find someone to live with, to face all the problems we encounter together, to solve all the troubles together, I don’t want to sacrifice myself or change myself to cater to anyone anymore, but I don’t want someone to sacrifice themselves or change themselves to cater to me either. I just need someone who can stay with me, move forward together, work together, and laugh as well as cry together.”

She stopped yelling at Jiang Tao angrily, but the more she spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, indescribably aggrieved, she could live well and happily on her own, and it was true that she didn’t need a man to live on, and she had already proved it – whether it was the taste of love or the current farm food, it proved that she could bring up her daughter on her own, and could live in style – with money earned with her own two hands.

But wouldn’t life be sweeter if someone came to love her isn’t a bad thing, and that also proves that she’s doing well, that she’s attractive, and that it just so happens that she loves the one who loves her? It didn’t have to be one person to prove anything, and she didn’t want to have to ask herself to prove anything to the world alone, she knew exactly what she wanted the moment she started over – just to live well and happily.

But she does not want to do the wind and rain are blocked, only know to enjoy the happiness of the woman, she does not want her man to sacrifice everything, put everything to give her the so-called happiness, she wants to be happy is two people heart to heart, shoulder to shoulder to live together! She does not just ask, do not just enjoy, she wants to personally build the happiness of two people.

Jiang Tao has been very understanding of her, very careful to care for her, with her pace, waiting for her out of the love injury, she has come out, just not yet said to Jiang Tao, but she thought Jiang Tao know what she wants, until she saw Jiang Tao injured she realized that Jiang Tao originally do not understand!

Zishan looked at Jiang Tao aggrieved and asked once more, “Do you understand?!”

Jiang Tao stretched out his hands and hugged Zi Shan: “I understand.” He really understands, he knows that Zi Shan doesn’t want to be a hothouse flower anymore, and Zi Shan is not a hothouse flower, but: “I know, I know everything, I just didn’t know that you turned out to care so much about my injury, I’m sorry, Zi Shan, I’m sorry.”

He took a long breath and lowered his head to look at Zi Shan seriously, “But if there’s any danger in the future, I’ll stand in front of you just the same, and I won’t let you get hurt just the same, even if it’s at the cost of me getting hurt. Zisan, this is not something I can control, it is also my heart, what I must do, I, am a man, this is my responsibility.”

“I’m sorry, Zixan.” He gently patted Zi Shan’s back, “If there’s really danger, I can only say I’m sorry again, even if you’re annoyed with me, I can only say I’m sorry, I can’t let you face the danger with me.”

Zi Shan was really annoyed to hear that, but the aggression was already gone, she knew that Jiang Tao really listened and really understood her all along, but those words made her annoyed – she wouldn’t admit that she had sweetened her heart already, so she twisted the inside of Jiang Tao’s arm fiercely and viciously – -Let you disobey!

Jiang Tao let Zi Shan twist him, only to shout loudly: “You twist my other arm.”

Zi Shan was startled, immediately stopped to look over: “I forgot, I thought this is not injured ……” is not injured arm, Jiang Tao is deliberately said so.

See Zishan stared, Jiang Tao winked: “not angry, right? Let’s go, let’s go, Fatty must be waiting impatiently.” He went to grab Zi Shan’s hand, satisfied as if he had gotten the whole world. Today, even if Li Rongqi stabbed him one more time he thought it was worth it, let alone just one.

“I won’t let anything happen to me,” he suddenly put away his smile to say seriously, “Because I’m going to take care of you and the baby, and no one can replace me before I take care of you, so how could I possibly let myself have an accident? No, absolutely not.” He moved his injured arm, “I know that in my heart, really.”

Zixan shook off his hand and glared at him as she walked forward, Jiang Tao was filled with confusion, “I thought you weren’t angry anymore?”

“Who said I’m not angry anymore?” Zishan hummed, “Someone just said to pretend nothing happened, do you think I should be angry?” She was actually a little embarrassed, and for a woman to be embarrassed in front of someone she was completely at ease with and trusted, what better way to hide it than to throw a little tantrum?

She was embarrassed herself because she had just actually cried, and cried and said that much to Jiang Tao–wasn’t that tantamount to confessing to Jiang Tao herself? But she is not ready ah, have not said it to the baby, this is a little, a little too fast, and then again she is not the kind of woman chasing a man’s nature, really too embarrassed.

Jiang Tao heard after the division: “I’m not thought you angry I that what well, I mean ……”

“You mean we are still ordinary friends, I know, we originally is ordinary friends well, I naturally very clear.” Zixan snaps at him, determining that she and he are still ordinary friends, since confirming that he has not confessed, this is considered unreasonable, right? Is it? Anyway, Zi Shan does this very reasonably because she knows Jiang Tao won’t roll his eyes at her.

Jiang Tao had the heart to cry when he heard this, why did he become a common friend again? He didn’t want to be an ordinary friend anymore, “No, Zi Shan, you know ……”

“Not ordinary friends?” Zi Shan stopped and looked at him, “Then what do you say we are?” Well, how to say also want to let Jiang Tao this big man first say out, or else they will be too humiliated, this, the matter of a woman’s face ah, must be finalized.

Jiang Tao looked at her vicious gaze gulped a mouthful of water, under the direct gaze of Zi Shan’s eyes his courage flew away, and could only say very cooperatively, “Yes, it’s an ordinary friend, an ordinary friend.” His heart is dripping blood ah, that are kissed well, although only kissed the face, but that is kissed, how can it be ordinary friends!

If an ordinary friend kissed Zi Shan, it would be strange if Zi Shan didn’t fix him up badly and cut him off. But with Zi Shan staring at him, he really didn’t have the courage to resist, and he didn’t dare to point out the fact that he and Zi Shan had actually gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary friends. Alas, he was thinking about the baby again, the cute baby, his little backbone, his little supporter.

Zi Shan heard his answer and got really angry, ha, this Jiang Tao really put her army? Good, then let’s see who can hold out, it’s a common friend, hey, good, then it’s a common friend well.

“Good.” She was so angry that she only answered one word, and she could only answer one word, one more word she couldn’t squeeze out, of course, she didn’t forget Jiang Tao’s suggestion, and fiercely twisted again on the inside of his uninjured arm – but she didn’t notice that in fact, twisting Jiang Tao’s arm this kind of demeanor is definitely not something that an ordinary friend can and will do.

Jiang Tao screamed miserably and looked at the fast walking Zi Shan muttered, “Walking in place ah, obviously has taken a big step well, why change back to walking in place?” He was very smart, but this problem he was afraid that he could not understand for a moment.
