Chapter 490: Chapter 394: The Counselor’s Life is Over_2

Cheng Zhu looked at her and said, "You can escape the monk, but you can’t escape the temple."

Indeed, she worked at Technology University, and if her family wanted to find her, it was all too easy.

Or rather, having such a fixed workplace made it all too easy for them to come and cause trouble.

Just like the saying Cheng Zhu mentioned—You can escape the monk, but you can’t escape the temple!

They wouldn’t think that you’ve grown up and no longer need us to provide for you, so we can let go.

They would think that you owe them your whole life.

They need your gratitude, they need your filial piety, they need your money, they need your resources...

Moreover, your younger brother is still so young, he has not yet grown up, has not yet settled down.

If you really want to cut ties with us, then you can give it a try!

This was precisely what Chen Jieyu had been most worried about.

For someone who had struggled from a small place to obtain a stable job at a university, it was precious.

Reality was not the internet; not everyone was wealthy, nor was earning over ten thousand a month the subject of public ridicule.

The salaries of the staff at a proper university in Hang City were decent, and it was a respectable position to mention, definitely an enviable job for the vast majority of ordinary people.

Moreover, although the promotion path for a counselor was relatively singular, with only a few routes, it could still be described with the phrase "a promising future."

Some people started as counselors and later became influential school leaders or took on other roles.

It was a good start.

So, just as Cheng Zhu had said, the past Chen Jieyu had treasured this job, but she also knew all too well where the hidden dangers lay.

She had always lived a very tiring life, incredibly draining.

Such mental Torture was often the most painful.

And these things weren’t a choice; they were a crumbling start that came with life.

For this reason, Chen Jieyu often thought to herself: "I really want to live a more relaxed life."

But deep down, she still had that stubborn streak.

Sometimes, she really resembled a wild weed by the roadside.

Her current feelings were a bit like that time after being scammed out of fifty thousand and having her first meal with Cheng Zhu, when his words fiercely breached her defenses, and her inner strength dramatically collapsed.

She still remembered the phrase Cheng Zhu had said back then: Those who say they can’t see the future often have seen the future.

Just like that, Cheng Zhu saw her cheeks visibly pale in seconds, her whole body slightly trembling, and her eyes beneath the gold-rimmed glasses momentarily redden.

It was a bodily instinctive reaction; she was trying her best to restrain herself.

Cheng Zhu sighed, gently embraced her, and then caressed her back.

He softly told her, "I know, for you, even a stable job can’t bring a sense of security."

"Actually, including myself, I can’t give you absolute security, right?" he said.

What he wanted to say was that he couldn’t give her security, but he feared it would expose too much about their delicate relationship, so the scoundrel chose to say: I can’t give you absolute security.

Adding the word "absolute" changed the nature of it, allowing the other person to acknowledge this point.

Cheng Zhu was well aware that the age difference, the taboo of their status, her own uniqueness, and various other reasons made it far-fetched to give her a sense of security.

There were some topics that the two of them avoided discussing.

Like: What is our relationship now?

To date, they hadn’t talked about this issue.

So, their relationship was indeed very delicate.

Since the moment of "A debt settled," it had been this way.

So, it was no wonder she was confused about the future; it would be ridiculous if she felt secure.

However, their time spent together lately had made Chen Jieyu fall for it time and again.

—Conscious submersion is often the most terrifying.

You are fully aware, knowing clearly that you are sinking little by little.

It’s deadly.

She had been completely conquered by Cheng Zhu, thoroughly conquered.

And just like now, she truly felt that she might never be able to leave this person for the rest of her life.

But this man was not prepared to stop there.

He wanted to remove the "might" and possess her for a lifetime.

Moreover, although he had his ulterior motives, in the end, he was really doing it for her own good.

Since they had talked to this point, and you, Mr. Chen, had let your defenses down again, then let me add fuel to the fire!

Of course, these were also some of Cheng Zhu’s inner thoughts.

"It’s because I think none of these can give you a sense of security that I brought you to buy a house today, to have your own home in Hang City."

"Working in Hang City doesn’t mean you can definitely stay in this city, right?"

"But now it’s different."

"Even if something really happens in the future, even if one day you do have to leave the school, at least you’ll have a place to settle down in Hang City."

"Having your own house will definitely make you feel a lot more at ease."

"I’m right, aren’t I?"

Cheng Zhu felt the counselor in his arms trembling even more intensely.

"I know you’re rather pessimistic, often thinking in the worst direction."

"You harbor uncertainties about your job, and perhaps you harbor a little uncertainty about me too."

"So, my idea is simple; I won’t let you have nothing."

"I just want to give you a sense of security, give you some confidence."

Frankly speaking, having one’s own house, especially in a big city like Hang City, could indeed reduce many worries and bring a greater sense of security for the future and enable one to live with more confidence!

The act of gifting a house was itself quite domineering and exaggerated, and in Cheng Zhu’s artful speech, it was directly linked to a sense of security and confidence.

As if suddenly what he was offering was not just material but also a special meaning, including its unique romance.

"I know what you lack the most," he said softly.

"So, don’t reject me."

Within his deep and gentle voice, Chen Jieyu’s body shook even more violently, and the sound of her sobbing became clearly evident.

No matter how hard she tried to control herself, she couldn’t suppress it.

Cheng Zhu gently patted her back, just like consoling a child.

Even though she was of an age of a mature city woman, even though she was his counselor, she now couldn’t stop crying and needed to lean on him.

If it weren’t for the real estate agent outside, Chen Jieyu might find it even harder to suppress her emotions that were bursting forth.

Some things had indeed been suppressed in her heart for too long.

Hence, the her with a stubborn streak deep down, often thought: "I really want to live a more relaxed life."

However, the next thing Cheng Zhu said was:

"I know that for many people, the value of a house is immense, but don’t overthink it; I just want you to live more easily in the future."

One sentence after another, all striking at her heart as she stood completely defenseless!

This brazen thief who didn’t ring the doorbell but broke through the window had taken over the place and turned her entire heart into his territory.

Occupy everything! Occupy everything!

Cheng Zhu looked down at her state, feeling the moment was ripe, only needing the final bombshell.

He sighed and said, "Actually, I definitely have my own selfishness too."

Chen Jieyu looked up in surprise upon hearing this, her red eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses meeting his gaze, and asked, "What?"

"Put yourself in my shoes. If you don’t have security in your job, and no absolute security with me, then how could I feel any different about you?"

"Your situation is so complicated; can you really stay in Hang City forever?"

"But I’m different; I am from Hang City, my family is in Hang City, my companies are all here."

"So, my selfishness is simple."

He locked eyes with Chen Jieyu, delivering the final blow with a soft voice and steadfast attitude, causing her to fall once again:

"I simply have to keep you in Hang City; I have to keep you by my side."

The update volume may not be stable recently, but I won’t take leave even on New Year’s Eve, so you can rest assured about that too.

It’s the festive season, I seek monthly votes for comfort, I’m truly exhausted.....)
