Afraid You'll Take Advantage of Me

The smile on Jiang Guo's face instantly vanished when Ji Yunchen's words reminded her of Jiang Yuan and her mother, Shao Yan. When she was young and had lost her mother, she was deeply saddened. At that time, Shao Yan had approached her with a caring face and offered her support. Jiang Yuan had also initiated communication with her, assuring her that she wasn't alone. She had believed them innocently, but the consequences of that trust had been too heavy, even costing her a life.

Perhaps Ji Yunchen had spoken these words out of kindness, but it had still put her in a bad mood. Her gaze turned cold as she said, "Mr. Ji, please refrain from making such ambiguous remarks in the future. There is no relationship between us, and I can handle my own affairs without your assistance."

Ji Yunchen was taken aback by Jiang Guo's attitude. He looked at her with a more complicated expression, wondering if he had touched on something painful for her.
