Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

"Mrs. Bai, I’m sorry for bringing up something unpleasant for you."

Tian Tian struggled to suppress the sense of embarrassment deep in her heart and slowly looked up at Cheng Junhua, whose expression was sincere.

She knew that Cheng Junhua hadn’t brought up her pain on purpose. Perhaps Cheng Junhua didn’t even know the specific circumstances at the time, only that Cheng Junnan had slapped her.

"It’s fine, it’s all in the past now. It’s just a bit surprising and awkward to have it brought up so suddenly."

Cheng Junhua hadn’t expected Tian Tian to speak to him so calmly. After all, he hadn’t missed the flash of embarrassed anger in Tian Tian’s eyes just a moment ago.

It seemed he understood, if only a little, why his brother liked Tian Tian.

She looked small and delicate, like a porcelain doll, but there was a stubborn streak in her bones that made people take notice.

Thinking about how his brother, who had seen so many women, was now caught up with Tian Tian, and that Tian Tian didn’t even have the slightest interest in his brother, made Cheng Junhua feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Mrs. Bai, when you were still Miss Gu, did you really not have the slightest feeling for my brother?"

"I admit he has gone too far at times, but in a lifetime, who can be completely sure they’ll never make a single mistake?"

Pausing slightly, Cheng Junhua looked gently and sincerely at Tian Tian, his voice low, with a hint of a sigh.

"Does one mistake really need to be repaid with a lifetime? Isn’t that too cruel?"

Tian Tian pressed her lips together and, after a while, slowly began to speak.

"Doctor Cheng, I made it very clear to President Cheng a long time ago that I don’t like him, and he has everything he wants. If he wills it, he can absolutely find a girl ten times better than me. I wish him well!"

"Don’t bring up meeting again!"

Cheng Junhua was slightly taken aback once more and looked at Tian Tian, his expression slightly astonished.

Isn’t a girl supposed to be concerned when she hears the other person is having a hard time?

Besides, what he said just now was so serious.

But it’s also true that if someone commits a crime like looting or arson, they should indeed pay for it with their life.

But his brother merely fell for someone he shouldn’t have, why must he... use the rest of his life to remember it?

Is it really just because of that slap?

Tian Tian put down the glass she was holding and stood up.

"I’ve told President Cheng before, the past is the past, and I won’t give it a second thought. Besides, I forgave him long ago, and he knows that."

Otherwise, Cheng Junnan wouldn’t keep appearing in her life again and again, trying time after time to suggest just being friends.

Cheng Junhua’s expression was somewhat stiff, and he looked steadily at Tian Tian, his voice low and slightly grave.

"Why not give him a chance before getting married?"

Tian Tian’s bright grape-like eyes looked straight at him and answered decisively.

"Because when you know it won’t work out, giving another chance is just messing around!"

Cheng Junhua: "..."

"Doctor Cheng, I’m leaving now!"

Before Cheng Junhua could speak, Tian Tian smiled slightly, turned around, and left the office.

Watching the little red figure shrink in the distance of his sight, Cheng Junhua thought of Tian Tian’s last words and suddenly laughed.

"Because when you know it won’t work out, giving another chance is just messing around!"

Closing his eyes briefly, Cheng Junhua murmured to himself.

"If everyone were like you, where would all the love and hate, passion and resentment, and lovesick men and women come from in this world?"
