“Yujie, even Mom believed and accepted me. Is your trust in me less than that of Mom’s?” Jiang Huaizhou asked her.

“I believe you,” said Dong Yujie finally, “If you don’t really mind…”

“I don’t mind!” said Jiang Huaizhou eagerly without waiting for Dong Yujie to finish.

He finally let go of Dong Yujie’s hands, but he placed his hands on her shoulders.

!!

He could not stop smiling as he stared at Dong Yujie.

Dong Yujie was not used to the sudden change in their relationship. Right now, she was going crazy just by his gaze.

Suddenly, she was pulled into his arms.

“You won’t regret this,” said Jiang Huaizhou, “I won’t let you regret this.”

“With this, my promise will come true, true to my words,” said Jiang Huaizhou quickly, “I will never let you regret your decision today.”

“Okay,” Dong Yujie finally said, “I believe in you.”

“Really?” Jiang Huaizhou lowered his head and looked at Dong Yujie. “Are you really agreeing to be my girlfriend?”

Jiang Huaizhou still felt uncertainty in his heart. “Are you sure you’re not saying this because you find me annoying?”

After Jiang Huaizhou voiced his doubts, he was even more uncertain now.

He suddenly looked at Dong Yujie in doubt. “You’re not just doing this half-heartedly and will leave after walking out of the office, right?”

Jiang Huaizhou was very insecure now.

Dong Yujie was speechless.

“You dealt with Qu Mengyu in such a casual way and you think I’ll be the same?” Dong Yujie said angrily.

Jiang Huaizhou said immediately, “Our conversation is going so well, why are you bringing up Qu Mengyu? It ruins the mood. She has nothing to do with us.”

Jiang Huaizhou became terrified. What if Dong Yujie punished him because of Qu Mengyu?

“Then why are you still doubting me? Didn’t you ask me to believe you? Now that I believe you, you’re doubting me,” said Dong Yujie.

“I… I am just scared that you’ll leave,” said Jiang Huaizhou weakly.

Jiang Huaizhou was really afraid.

After all, he was someone with a criminal record.

Dong Yujie said angrily, “If I really want to leave, can you even stop me?”

Jiang Huaizhou was speechless.

He really did not have the courage to stop her.

“And, why do you think I’ll deal with you in such a troublesome way? I can leave straight away if I want to, I don’t need to beat around the bush,” said Dong Yujie.

“…” Jiang Huaizhou pondered and said dryly, “That makes sense.”

The authority was all in Dong Yujie’s hands.

Dong Yujie could not help but laugh.

It was her first smile after arriving here.

Jiang Huaizhou was relieved after seeing her smile.

Then he started smiling as well.

“Yujie, you’re my girlfriend now, right?” asked Jiang Huaizhou.

Dong Yujie nodded and said, “This is the last time. You can’t do this anymore.”

“Do what?” Jiang Huaizhou raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“Like… acting pitiful, as if I’m bullying you,” said Dong Yujie.

Before, Jiang Huaizhou still had the dignity of an older brother.

But now, although he still had that same dignity, as soon as Dong Yujie opened her mouth, Jiang Huaizhou would always prioritize fulfilling her requests.

As soon as Dong Yujie said something, Jiang Huaizhou would never say no.

Although he also spoiled her in the past, he still had the dignity of an older brother.

Now it was all gone.

“Before, as your older brother, I had to keep some of my dignity,” said Jiang Huaizhou, “But now, as your man, what’s the use of that dignity? Of course, I have to keep you happy and spoil you.”

Dong Yujie blushed at his words.

Especially the phrase ‘your man’, it made Dong Yujie’s heart tremble.

According to what Jiang Huaizhou said, how could being Jiang Huaizhou’s girlfriend not make her feel happier than being his younger sister?

Dong Yujie immediately asked, “Then, what if you found another girlfriend when you were still my older brother, wouldn’t you treat her better than me?”

“That’s silly.” Jiang Huaizhou tapped on Dong Yujie’s forehead lightly.

“First of all, the one I like is you, not anybody else, how can I have another girlfriend? But even if that is the case, won’t I still treat you the best?”

“Now that you’re my girlfriend, then the more I have to treat you the best of the best. In the end, it’s still you alone,” said Jiang Huaizhou.

This little girl turned dumb the moment she started dating.

Dong Yujie also realized this and lowered her head in embarrassment.

In the end, she was the only one.

“Then… I’m leaving first, I won’t disturb your work anymore,” said Dong Yujie.

“Wait!” How could Jiang Huaizhou let her leave? “Don’t leave.”

“You have no conscience. We just got together and you already wanted to abandon me?” Jiang Huaizhou thought about why this little girl was not reluctant at all.

“I’m worried about disturbing your work,” said Dong Yujie, “It’s not like I won’t come back to see you.”

“That won’t do.” Jiang Huaizhou did not plan to let Dong Yujie leave, “You’re finally back and today is our first official day together. We haven’t even caught up with each other, so you can’t leave.”

“Am I not a nuisance here?” Dong Yujie asked shyly.

“How can you be a nuisance?” Jiang Huaizhou pulled her to the couch to sit down.

“I do not have much work in the morning. Anyway, I don’t have anything else to do,” said Jiang Huaizhou.

“In the past year, you didn’t call me nor allow me to contact you. I don’t know anything about your life outside and what you have experienced there,” said Jiang Huaizhou.

“Previously, as I was in jail, I have missed out on a lot of your life. Now that I’ve missed out another year, it felt like I keep having gaps in your life again and again.”

“It’s like a recorded video that pauses here and there due to technical issues,” said Jiang Huaizhou.

“So, I really want to fill these gaps,” said Jiang Huaizhou.

“When you’re not here, I asked Mom to help me fill up the gaps created when I was in prison.”

Dong Yujie froze.

Jiang Huaizhou raised his hand and rubbed her cheek. “As long as it’s related to you, I want to know about it. I don’t want to miss anything.”

“To me, as long as it’s about you, nothing’s bad about it. Everything about you is important to me,” said Jiang Huaizhou softly.

Dong Yujie slowly relaxed.

Jiang Huaizhou knew that she had not gotten over it completely, she still needed some time.

How could a short year make her forget about those terrible things completely?

Especially if it was related to him, Dong Yujie would always feel more nervous.

Jiang Huaizhou looked at her. His heart was filled with tenderness, it felt sore and warm at the same time.

Originally, she should have had a happier life and would not need to face the stress of the day.
