Jiang Yue noticed that Zhou Ji seemed to be in an even worse mood after she said those words.

Unable to withstand the man's dark gaze, she silently turned her face away.

Zhou Ji discovered that she was very good at evading this matter, always silently brushing it off, as if she really thought he was easy to fool.

He retreated an inch, and she retreated ten feet.

Always speaking kindly and gently to her, and giving her whatever she asks for, will only make her more demanding.

She will never take another step forward.

Zhou Ji raised his hand, his rough fingertips brushing against her skin, gently straightening her face and kneading her chin with his fingertips: "Why do you think I'm a fickle person?"

After a brief pause, Zhou Ji stared intently into her eyes: "And I have no intention of going on blind dates, neither in the past nor in the future."

Jiang Yue felt the intense possessiveness in the man's gaze, which made her feel a little afraid, just like a small animal has a natural keen insight into its mortal enemy.

When you sense danger, your subconscious instinct is to hide yourself in a safe place.

She pursed her lips: "Who can say for sure what the future holds?"

Zhou Ji tightened his grip slightly, his gaze calmly falling on her face. "I said no, and I mean no."

Jiang Yue met his gaze. His obsidian-like eyes were like a bottomless abyss, making her tremble with fear and even feel a chill run down her spine.

"Let me go first."

"I won't let go."

At this moment, Zhou Ji appeared calm, but often the calmer one appears, the more enigmatic one becomes. He spoke plainly and without expression: "If I let you go, you'll go find someone else, won't you?"

Jiang Yue remained silent.

She couldn't tell at all whether Zhou Ji was going crazy or calm, because his face looked perfectly normal, like a still lake.

Zhou Ji opened his mouth and said, "You probably don't know Cen Yue. Your family introduced him to you."

"Having just divorced, your father and mother probably wouldn't want you to start a new relationship so soon."

"What a mess Qin Zhao made?"

This is easy to deduce.

The only person in the Qin family who was at odds with him from beginning to end was her brother, Qin Zhao.

Zhou Ji sneered: "Am I wrong?"

So Jiang Yue realized from Zhou Ji's self-talk that he was indeed going crazy, calmly going crazy, not hysterically like others.

"Zhou Ji, I can meet with whomever I want."

Jiang Yue is not the kind of person who is submissive and accepts whatever comes her way.

Zhou Ji stared at her silently for a moment, then asked, "You like this kind of frail, scholarly man?"

Jiang Yue didn't like him. She felt very comfortable with Cen Yue, but that didn't mean she liked him.

Zhou Ji had already seen the answer in her eyes. His expression softened slightly, and he slowly released her chin, but his other hand still gripped her wrist, leaving mottled marks on the girl's delicate skin. He said, "If you like muscular men, then don't force yourself."

Jiang Yue: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly called his name, "Zhou Ji".

The man's eyes flickered slightly: "Hmm?"

Jiang Yue asked softly, "Are you jealous?"

Zhou Ji heard his own slightly hoarse voice: "Yes."

His good patience, upbringing, and feigned gentleness had all vanished by now; pretending to be a good person in front of her was useless.

His nature is one of plunder, ingrained in his very being.

Zhou Ji leaned forward, and the spacious room seemed to become cramped and narrow. His deep breath fell on her ear.

Warm and hard to ignore.

Jiang Yue's back was already pressed against the car door, her lowered eyelashes trembled, and the temperature of her ears suddenly rose.

Suddenly I felt that the air in the car wasn't circulating very well.

Scalding hot, like being scorched by the blazing sun.

She had nowhere to hide and unknowingly found herself in a situation from which there was nowhere to escape.

“I had someone crash Cen Yue’s car.”

He spoke slowly and deliberately in a steady voice, each word coming out of his throat sounding indifferent, nonchalant, and unconcerned.

Jiang Yue looked slightly surprised, and a chill ran down her spine.

"you…"

She was momentarily at a loss for words.

If you can cause a car accident today, you'll be hitting people tomorrow!

Was she the villainous female supporting character, or was he the villainous male lead? How did he end up doing what she would normally do?

Jiang Yue forced herself to calm down. She was like an honest person who had to become timid after provoking a madman. She had stolen his heart but didn't want to take any responsibility. She stammered for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Is male jealousy really that terrible?

Zhou Ji watched her shrink back slightly, his eyes pausing for a moment: "I can't guarantee whether you'll hit a person or a car next time."

Jiang Yue: "..."

Zhou Ji's words were brief and to the point; he understood the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad.

…

When Jiang Yue got home, she fell into a state of existential doubt.

Sometimes being too popular can be a problem; she herself feels that she sometimes has a princess complex and is very spoiled.

Why is Zhou Ji getting more and more entangled?

It was at this moment that Jiang Yue realized the plot was racing wildly like a runaway horse.

It seems that the plot twists haven't changed, but the female lead and the male lead still have no contact, and the two of them are not familiar with each other at all.

As she was lost in thought, someone suddenly grabbed her calf. She looked down and saw...

Her eldest son seemed to have just finished school. He had the driver bring him to her with his little schoolbag on his back. His clingy personality didn't change in front of his mother. He couldn't help but want to cuddle with her when he saw her, and he obediently hugged her leg.

Jiang Yue looked at the little boy with delicate and handsome features. His eyes were like black agate stones that had been washed with water, clear and innocent, and she could not find any tendency to turn into a world-destroying villain.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but think seriously. The plot had changed, so would everyone's life be different?

Jiang Yue couldn't help but gently stroke the boy's hair, vaguely recalling the ending of the minor villain, which seemed to end badly—a stubborn, obstinate, and gloomy boy.

Ultimately, he became extremely irrational due to affective disorder.

"Mother."

As if dissatisfied with his mother's absent-mindedness, the boy looked up at her and called her softly.

Jiang Yue picked him up from her lap. She looked at him; the boy was incredibly handsome, with long eyelashes, a high nose, and eyes that were like dark jade that had been soaked in water—clear and pure.

She suddenly realized that it was a good thing he wouldn't become a major villain in the future.

Jiang Yue initially did not want to change the fate of the other people in the story, nor did she ever think of redeeming anyone. But now, she feels that this change is not so bad.
