Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: The Weird Tone of Yin and Yang Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: The Weird Tone of Yin and Yang It was like a simple, unadorned landscape painting.
When the wind blew, the leaves took flight.
Jasmine Yale had grown to like this tranquility; sometimes she would do nothing but walk endlessly along the small path.
“Have you been less busy lately?” Jasmine asked softly.
“Just people watching,” Sylvan Cheney replied. “Will you have dinner with me tonight? Hmm?”
“No, the landlady has saved me some food.”
“Fine, I’ll take Sweet Kitty out for dinner then.”
“You can’t come into my house; did you make copies of my keys?”
“What, you just noticed? Hmm? Idiot.”
“…” Jasmine was indeed angry. “You also can’t just take Sweet Kitty. She’s frightened of strangers, and she bites.”
“How very like you.”
“I’m being serious,” Jasmine said, irritated.
“You bring her, and I’ll bring you. Let’s go out to eat together.”
“You’ve already treated me several times; there’s no need,” Jasmine refused.
Sylvan’s brow furrowed. “Since I’ve treated you several times, isn’t it about time you treated me? Rather than choosing a date, how about just tonight? You pay.”
Jasmine stopped in her tracks and looked at him; was he about to con her… again?
Without allowing her to argue, Sylvan led her to the car.
He had agreed to let her bring Sweet Kitty, and for some reason, he found the sight of her holding Sweet Kitty like a daughter very pleasing to watch.
While she went upstairs, he sat in the car and made calls to his subordinates to handle the situation with Linnie Elwin.
The incident had caught him off guard, but it was trouble he had brought upon her, and he intended to resolve it without leaving a trace.
Jasmine sat in the passenger seat, holding Sweet Kitty, chatting with him while playing with the cat.
“Jasmine Yale, how many part-time jobs have you had?”
“Quite a few,” she boasted. “Let me tell you, I’m pretty amazing. I used to distribute flyers, do homework for classmates, and make handicrafts behind your back. Later, in college, I worked as a librarian, a waitress, I even washed dishes… lots and lots, too many to count. But the most profitable was selling… you know,” Jasmine concluded, a smile spreading across her face.
She hadn’t sold that “thing” for long before bumping into him again three years later.
But she couldn’t deny that it had been extraordinarily lucrative.
“That’s quite impressive,” Sylvan said, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Hmm? Jasmine detected a sarcastic undertone in his voice.
A touch of cold indifference lingered in Sylvan’s eyes.
There were many things she kept from him, hidden tightly away.
“With skills like that, it looks like supporting a family won’t be a problem in the future.”
Hmm? Jasmine thought the comment sounded odd.
“It’s just for a bit of pocket money, nothing more,” said Jasmine, a little sheepishly, while her hand stroked Sweet Kitty’s head. “I didn’t let it interfere with my studies.”
“Meow–”
Jasmine and Sylvan chatted casually.
They steered clear of subjects they shouldn’t touch upon, instead talking about food, courses, scenery…
His conversation was cultivated and gentlemanly, and in his every movement she recognized the Sylvan she had once known so well.
But in the years that had passed, his features had gained a mature charm and an air of elegance.
Sometimes Jasmine would doze off in the car, and upon waking, as soon as she saw him, her heart would settle into a quiet, comfortable dust.
Unknowingly, she remembered that his birthday was coming up soon.
Ever since she’d learned the date, she had remembered it clearly every year.
But he was not in the habit of celebrating his birthday; even when it came around, life went on as usual as if there were no such day at all.
