Zhou Ji noticed that the woman who used to fawn over him seemed to have suddenly become much more indifferent.

She casually placed her bag on the desk, sat upright with her back straight, her long hair cascading down her back, and faced him with her delicate and petite face.

She slightly raised her chin and looked at him, saying, "I don't like people hanging up on me."

The woman's tone wasn't particularly bad, but it sounded a bit arrogant.

When facing the man in front of her, Jiang Yue always tends to put on airs like a princess, and she really can't tolerate his disobedience.

It's because he looks a lot like that powerful regent.

She's just taking her anger out on others.

Jiang Yue grew up in luxury since childhood, and everyone around her doted on her. Even royal nobles dared not say a word against her.

Upon hearing Jiang Yue's imperious words, the system felt like dying on the spot.

Why is she so arrogant?

This is a ruthless and cold-blooded male protagonist!

I already loathed her to death!

How can she still act like a princess?

System: The person is completely numb.

Jiang Yue seemed oblivious to the system's collapse, and then said condescendingly, "This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

System: I want to die so badly. I want to die so badly.

Important things should be said several times.

Zhou Ji stared at her intently, his gaze lingering on her fair face for a long time. The woman's eyes held a delicate and charming air that didn't seem to be feigned.

His expression was exactly the same as the cat he used to own.

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Ji chuckled, a faint smile that lacked sincerity and appeared more like a mocking sneer.

The pen between the man's fingers slowly came to a stop.

The harsh words were on the tip of his tongue, but for some reason, he changed his mind and said, "I'll try my best."

Jiang Yue reluctantly accepted.

She then said, "There's one more very important thing."

Zhou Ji stopped her before she could speak: "Jiang Yue, if it's about your work, there's nothing I can do."

"Everyone has to pay the price for what they do."

"You can't stay young forever."

After a brief pause, the man continued slowly and deliberately: "If it's those scandals in the newspapers, I hope you can spend more time improving your IQ to distinguish between truth and falsehood, instead of wasting my time."

Is the rumor true or false?

Zhou Ji was too lazy to explain to her; he was utterly fed up with it.

She had long since lost the right to interfere in his affairs.

He admitted that she was his wife.

If he doesn't acknowledge her, then she is nothing.

The airs Jiang Yue had been putting on in front of him now resembled those of a proud and noble peacock. She frowned, not understanding what this jerk was talking about.

Could he speak in a way that people can understand?

She didn't understand, so she didn't bother to explain.

Who wants to work?

Only idiots like working.

A smart woman like her only needs to enslave her working husband.

Jiang Yue said indifferently, "I don't understand what you're saying."

She said fiercely, "Don't talk about these boring things, I don't care at all."

The man paused for a moment when he looked at her. Having heard the boy who cried wolf so many times, he didn't really believe her.

Jiang Yue is now getting down to business. She is actually quite impatient with chatting with Zhou Ji. She doesn't like him, but the original owner of this body really likes him.

My heart pounded when I saw him.

It felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Subconsciously, she longed to be close to him and to have his love.

But Jiang Yue didn't care or have any interest in it.

Jiang Yue suppressed her chaotic emotions and continued, "The kindergarten teacher called me."

Zhou Ji paused for a moment, "So you came here today for this?"

Jiang Yue really wanted to say that it wasn't that; she just came to scold him.

That despicable man deserves to be scolded.

However, Her Highness also learned to be patient. "Yes."

She had no desire to go to the kindergarten sports meet, and even less desire to go with Zhou Ji.

Jiang Yue pursed her lips and asked, "Are you going?"

Although Zhou Ji didn't like her, he was a good father who cared a lot about his child and tried his best to give her a complete childhood.

However, it was a full five years.

Instead of showing any remorse, she intensified her bullying of the child.

Zhou Ji had long been utterly disappointed in her and had no hope for her. His eyes turned cold: "I'm going."

Zhou Ji knew that although the child didn't say it, he still longed for his mother's love.

In the past two days, she has come to him more than once, looking at him longingly, wanting to go back to the villa on the hillside to live.

Last night, before going to bed.

The child pitifully clutched his finger, lowered his eyelashes, and asked him softly, "Will my mother come to the sports meet?"

Zhou Ji ruffled his hair. "Do you want her to come?"

After a long time, he heard the child's earnest voice: "Yes."

Zhou Ji said, "She's not good to you."

The child's eyes were red and tears were about to fall: "But...but I love her."

Zhou Ji compromised.

He originally didn't plan to send Jiang Yue to kindergarten, nor did he intend to let her have any more contact with the child, not wanting the child to suffer any more harm.

Now, he looked at her and said, "Jiang Yue, if you're going, I hope you know some basic moral standards."

In short, it means being sensible.

Jiang Yue blinked. "I'm not going."

She stood up, picked up the light-colored crocodile brikin on the table, and her mood became much lighter and brighter. "Since you're going, I don't need to participate."

After saying this, she walked out the door without looking back.

Outside the CEO's office, everyone else immediately stopped listening intently when they saw the door open, and returned to their workstations, pretending to be working very seriously.

The stunningly beautiful woman walked out of the office with an air of superiority, still wearing her high heels.

"She didn't cry this time?"

"Did they successfully save their marriage? Oh no, I'll have to put up with this shrew causing trouble at the company again!"

"Excellent technique! I exclaim, brilliant!"

"It's an act, isn't it? I don't believe it."

"It must have taken so much tearful pleading to get them to agree. They really went all out."
