Zhou Ji's tone was very similar to hers, with a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were fixed on her as he spoke those words.

The few words he uttered were serious, yet there was a hint of deliberate teasing in them; they were clearly meant for her.

Especially the last three words—bad stuff.

His tone was exactly the same as when Jiang Yue used to whisper complaints about him.

Zhou Ji was clearly cursing himself, but Jiang Yue felt like he was teasing her!

She fell silent.

A burning heat slowly rose on my face.

After a while, the blood in my whole body still felt hot, and this feeling was really a bit out of control.

She covered her face, her palms were hot, and she couldn't press them down.

After a while, Jiang Yue glared at Zhou Ji, thinking she was being very cool, and said, "Are you deliberately imitating me to make fun of me?"

Zhou Ji pondered seriously for a long time, nodding and shaking his head, and it was not easy to tell what he was trying to express.

“I’m imitating you,” Zhou Ji explained patiently, “but it’s just because I find it cute when you scold me like that, not because I’m mocking you.”

Jiang Yue suspected that Zhou Ji might have some serious illness!

Or has he gone mad?!

Why would anyone enjoy being criticized? Unless he has some shady hoax, but he doesn't seem like it.

Jiang Yue felt that this was another of Zhou Ji's schemes, deliberately saying this to disgust her so that she would never call him a bad thing again.

But he was bad to begin with.

He himself admitted this.

Jiang Yue felt she had seen through his trick, but she was determined to thwart his scheme. She repeated many times, "You bad thing, you bad thing, you're a bad thing."

She wouldn't refrain from scolding Zhou Ji just because he found him cute.

She still felt that Zhou Ji was just being stubborn.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Ji heard this string of curses and still had a smile on his face.

This is simply unbelievable.

Does he really enjoy it when she scolds him?

Even as Zhou Ji led her to the cashier to pay, Jiang Yue was still muttering to herself, unable to stop speculating about the matter.

When it was time to pay, Jiang Yue glanced at the numbers on the bill.

This supermarket is really expensive; I spent a few figures just buying a few things.

Zhou Ji carried a shopping bag in one hand, and with the other hand he remembered to hold her hand. The two of them were not unrecognized in the supermarket.

However, Zhou Ji's aura was too cold, and he was in a state where strangers should not approach him.

Even if they recognized the two people, they only dared to take two photos cautiously and wouldn't do anything else.

Wearing a mask, Jiang Yue recognized her as a true fan, and even a high-ranking, big-spending fan in the fan group!

Over the past few days, I've even become a junior administrator in the fan group.

She carefully edited the photo, making all the imperfections impeccable, before cautiously posting the photo of her encounter with Jiang Yue to her fan group.

[I'm incredibly lucky!!!]

I ran into Yueyue.

[It seems like the two of them aren't filming a show; I didn't see any cameramen following them. Maybe Zhou Ji's pursuit of his wife is almost complete.]

[I'm so annoyed. How could he get married so quickly?]

However, both of them look great in the photos, and the candid shots best capture their spirit.

In the photo, Jiang Yue is tilting her head slightly upwards, holding her phone out to Zhou Ji, as if she wants him to see something.

The man's expression as he lowered his head was incredibly gentle. The way he looked at her was like that of someone who deeply loves another—doting, tender, and seemingly capable of encompassing everything.

The two hands were clasped tightly together, and it was clear that they were gripping each other very tightly.

[This is so sweet. Zhou Ji is so lucky. My wife always looks so sweet and gentle when she's shopping; I just want to pamper her.]

[The two of them are dressed like couples today. Is it really necessary to be this sweet just for filming a show?]

[Only smart people, like those I've noticed who aren't accompanied by the production crew, aren't filmed; it's just their normal daily life, not a scripted production.]

[There really wasn't a script. I'm not kidding, these two are really sweet in private. Zhou Ji spoils Teacher Jiang in everything, he's always obedient to her, I've never seen him refuse anything. A few times I went to Teacher Jiang's house for work, and I saw Zhou Ji peeling apples for her in the living room, even knowing to cut them into small pieces, he was so thoughtful and considerate.]

After a pause, the insider added: "But it's a well-known fact that Zhou Ji doesn't like male staff coming to his door, haha. He's quite jealous."

The fan group is full of hidden talents.

Unbeknownst to many, the number of fans shipping Jiang Yue and Zhou Ji as a couple has quietly grown in the background.

Only a fool wouldn't eat the candy that's been offered to him.

…

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue and Zhou Ji returned home, and the man went to the kitchen.

Jiang Yue lay on the sofa, leaning against the pillows, holding the remote control in her hand, constantly changing channels, not really thinking about what to watch.

To be honest, lying on a sofa pillow is not as comfortable as a human pillow.

She put down the remote control and quietly watched Zhou Ji busy in the kitchen. His back was tall, and the back of his head looked round.

He must have eyes in the back of his head. Jiang Yue stared at him for a short while before he turned around and caught her red-handed.

Jiang Yue wasn't guilty at all.

She met his gaze openly, as if to say, "So what if I'm staring at you?"

Zhou Ji didn't think much of it, assuming she was just hungry.

That's why she's looking at him so expectantly.

Zhou Ji said gently, "It will be ready soon."

Perhaps worried that she was too hungry, Zhou Ji added, "These are some snacks I just bought, you can eat some to tide you over."

Jiang Yue wasn't really listening to what he was saying; her mind was full of her own thoughts. She wondered if Zhou Ji was really that heinous. No.

Did she really hate him as much as she claimed? Well, no, not really.

She had long since stopped resenting him as much.

The little princess is not really someone who can't distinguish right from wrong or who makes unreasonable demands.

If she hadn't been more open-minded back then, she wouldn't have come to her senses after her failed attempt to hang herself from Zhou Fuwei and then put on her wedding dress to prepare for marriage.

She had a clear answer to every single expense in her mind.

I owe her a debt, and I need to repay it.

She doesn't owe anyone anything, and she won't insist on taking it.

Jiang Yue just couldn't bring herself to say to Zhou Ji, "I forgive you, I don't blame you anymore, it's all fate's cruel joke."

This makes her seem...as if she's easy to coax and fool.

From then on, she was no longer able to stand on the moral high ground and boss Zhou Ji around, making him fulfill her unreasonable demands with a sense of entitlement.

In her relationship with Zhou Ji, she had to maintain a high moral and intellectual position to remain invincible.

However, the princess, who had only just begun to understand love and hadn't fully grasped its meaning, was unaware that at the moment Zhou Ji declared his love for her...

This man was her defeated foe.

He would surrender to her early on and be willing to do anything for her.
