The overwhelming kisses were like a tidal wave, almost drowning her.

Zhou Ji has been restraining himself these days. The previous frequency was the normal frequency of life for a married couple. It wasn't excessive, but it wasn't infrequent either.

He could also see that she was looking for convenience and enjoyment in everything. At first, she would grumble and complain, but as she gradually got a taste of the benefits, she would turn a blind eye.

For the time being, their married life has been relatively harmonious.

Unlike a naive young man who has tasted the sweetness of success, Zhou Ji is not one to be easily swayed by temptation. Even if he is unable to stop, he can still restrain himself. Now it seems that his restraint is not a good thing.

Jiang Yue felt as if she had encountered a fierce storm.

The sudden downpour was still quite long and the rain was very heavy. Even breathing became a luxury for her. Her face was flushed and her black hair looked like it had been soaked by the tide.

She weakly raised her arm, trying to grab onto a piece of driftwood that could get her ashore, but instead, her wrist was firmly gripped by a wild beast in the sea.

I don't know if it's because I drank some alcohol.

The next day, Jiang Yue woke up in bed and didn't feel very tired. She was wearing a clean set of pajamas. After waking up, she slowly recalled the memories that followed the night before.

It's truly an eyesore.

Her husband was like a deaf man, as if he couldn't hear her at all, and only knew how to bury himself in his work.

The bills from last night were on the bedside table, as if they had been deliberately left there for her to see.

Jiang Yue slowly sat up and casually picked up the bill on the bedside table. Could it be that Zhou Ji was trying to get back the money from her because he had overpaid last night?

She didn't make him pay.

That's really strange.

Jiang Yue inevitably had some shocking marks left on her body. Her skin was fair, thin, and delicate, making her prone to scarring.

It doesn't hurt.

There were some opened plasters by the bed, indicating that someone had already applied the medicine for her beforehand.

There was also a sticky note left next to him, perhaps because he was afraid she wouldn't see his message, so he left such a conspicuous sticker.

[Remember to drink the hangover soup this morning, otherwise your head will hurt. I'll be home early tonight—Zhou.]

Jiang Yue glanced at the words on the sticky note, and then Tuanba Tuanba threw it into the trash can.

She had only just gotten out of bed when her phone started vibrating incessantly.

Several calls came from TV station staff, and there were also a series of messages from Ding Ru. She seemed very worried about her and anxiously asked her why she left early last night.

We've been looking for you for a long time but haven't been able to find you, and we can't get through to you on the phone.

Why did you go home early?

It seems your husband paid our bill last night...

Ding Ru feigned concern on the other end of the phone: "Does Zhou Ji know about what happened last night...?"

He hesitated to say what he wanted to say next.

Although Ding Ru and Qin Qin did not see what happened after Zhou Ji dragged Jiang Yue into the private room, they could not guess that the seemingly calm man was actually on the verge of exploding in rage.

Let alone a prodigy like Zhou Ji, even an ordinary man would find it hard to tolerate his wife going out to seek pleasure behind his back.

Despite the progress of the times, the demands placed on women are often still very strict.

They need to be obedient, well-behaved, and innocent.

In wealthy families, marriages where both parties get what they need often involve families of equal power.

Jiang Yue had nothing but herself.

Ding Ru thought about how Zhou Ji had kicked that boy so badly, and realized that Jiang Yue's fate wouldn't be much better than that boy's.

Jiang Yue replied: 【Yes, he knows.】

Ding Ru couldn't help but feel smug. She was in a great mood, shopping with Qin Qin, and had just finished paying the bill.

She looked at the reply on her phone, chuckled, and then said to Qin Qin, "Look at her, she's getting better and better at pretending in front of us. If I hadn't seen the look on Zhou Ji's face when he took her away last night, I would have believed that nothing really happened to her today."

Ding Ru couldn't wait to gloat, "Do you think Zhou Ji will make a move against her?"

Qin Qin is a beauty with delicate features and doesn't usually smile much, but at this moment she slowly curved the corners of her lips, showing that she was in a really good mood. "Zhou Ji wouldn't hit a woman."

Ding Ru thought about it and agreed, but then she added, "But Zhou Ji was so angry last night, it's scary that he didn't lay a hand on Jiang Yue."

Qin Qin smiled and said, "Yes."

A man with such high aspirations might have already thrown the divorce papers in front of Jiang Yue and kicked her away.

Ding Ru didn't let this opportunity slip by, continuing to try and get information out of Jiang Yue. She feigned concern, saying, "Do you want us to explain for you? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you come last night; then Zhou Ji wouldn't have caught you red-handed."

She feigned concern: "Zhou Ji didn't do anything to you, did he? Don't keep your grievances to yourself; we're all friends you can confide in."

Jiang Yue didn't have the patience to read all the nonsense Ding Ru had posted.

I glanced at it casually.

She lowered her head and typed: 【Oh.】

She typed a little slowly: [Zhou Ji apologized to me.]

Ding Ru: "???"

What kind of pretense of being more important than one is this?

Jiang Yue knew that for Ding Ru, who wanted to kick someone when they were down, seeing this sentence might be worse than death. She continued typing slowly: "But I don't want to forgive him yet."

Hehehe (●?●)?

Ding Ru felt a lump in her throat, almost suffocating herself.

Qin Qin also saw what Jiang Yue said, and the smile on her lips slowly faded, her fingers clenching until they turned white.

Ding Ru still didn't believe it. What was Jiang Yue trying to prove here?

But the facts left her no choice but to believe them.

The circle is only so big, and even a little bit of harmless gossip can easily spread to every corner.

Before they even left the mall, the group chat was already buzzing with discussion about how Zhou Ji had recently had someone bid on the most expensive diamond tiara at a Hong Kong auction house.

An insider vaguely revealed that this was a gift Mr. Zhou specially bought to please his wife.

Ding Ru almost crushed her phone. Her face was no longer beaming with pride. In her anger, she didn't see where she was going, and her high heels missed a step, causing her to fall hard in front of everyone.

Jiang Yue, on the other hand, increasingly realized that Zhou Ji was out of control.

This man's usual restraint and composure are simply due to his exceptional self-control.

Nobody knows when he'll go crazy.

He probably still thinks she likes him, and he no longer hides the possessiveness in his eyes.

The plot of this book has deviated from the original work. Jiang Yue had been waiting for Zhou Ji to deliver the divorce agreement to her, but it seems he really has no intention of doing so.

She didn't want to wait any longer.

When will we get there?

The system appeared at the opportune moment, forcefully arguing in her ear: "[The important plot twists haven't changed! For example, you and the male lead will receive your divorce certificate next February, on the first working day after the Spring Festival.]"

It's not time yet.

[In the original story, the female supporting character had already obtained the divorce agreement, but she kept delaying signing it.]

Jiang Yue was silent for a while: "But I don't think Zhou Ji will be willing to divorce me next February."

Asking is Her Highness's intuition.

It's only natural that men would be reluctant to part with her because she's too beautiful and too popular.

The system hesitated for a long time, not daring to give her a guarantee.

Jiang Yue thought for a moment and quickly felt relieved: "Ah, it's okay."

She said, "If he doesn't bring it up, I will bring it up myself."

She's willing to follow the script in this matter.
