Ye Zhiwei has fair skin, and the necklace suits her very well, making her skin look even more delicate. She is very suitable for this kind of sparkling jewelry. It doesn't draw attention to the jewelry itself, but rather to Ye Zhiwei's natural beauty. The jewelry is simply the icing on the cake.

After the necklace was put on, Jiang Jianian also looked over.

Ye Yingying noticed Jiang Jianian's gaze and asked with a smile, "Brother Jianian, don't you think this necklace suits Sister Zhiwei very well? She looks even more beautiful wearing it."

Jiang Jianian glanced coldly at Ye Yingying and said expressionlessly, "She's beautiful even without this necklace."

He spoke calmly, his tone not like he was praising someone, but these words were definitely praising Ye Zhiwei. If they came from someone else, it wouldn't matter, but the fact that they came from Jiang Jianian made all the difference.

Jiang Jianian actually said something like that.

Even Ye Yingying, who thought she understood Jiang Jianian's personality well, was somewhat surprised. Jiang Jianian was not good at expressing his emotions. He seemed to keep all his thoughts to himself. In the past, when Ye Yingying and Jiang Jianian were on good terms, Jiang Jianian never said anything to praise Ye Yingying. His words were always harsh and sarcastic.

Jiang Jianian couldn't see her strengths, but he could point out her flaws, and he did so very directly. He seemed unable to empathize with the hurtful nature of her words, and even if he knew, he didn't care. His heart, like his whole being, was cold and aloof, always superior, never caring about other people's feelings, and never able to feel pain because of others' suffering. On the contrary, he himself was the one inflicting pain.

He can be extremely ruthless not only to others, but also to himself.

Ye Yingying had seen Jiang Jianian's injuries when she was very young. There were bloodstains and bruises on his arms and legs. She noticed when Song Min applied medicine to Jiang Jianian's body that there was almost no unscathed area.

But even at an age when Ye Yingying would be terrified and cry at the sight of such a scene, Jiang Jianian was completely unconcerned, as if he wasn't the one in pain. His expression was cold, and when Song Min scolded Jiang Yanqiang for being inhuman and got angry, Jiang Jianian showed no emotional fluctuation.

Ye Yingying was initially drawn to Jiang Jianian's good looks. The envious glances from other girls when they learned that she was on good terms with Jiang Jianian satisfied her vanity and made her feel somewhat proud. However, as she got to know Jiang Jianian better and witnessed his hot-and-cold attitude towards her, she gradually began to dislike the oppressive feeling of being with him and wanted to stay away from him.

Even though Jiang Jianian's childhood was pitiful and miserable, his indifference and the occasional gloom in his eyes terrified Ye Yingying.

Sometimes he really doesn't act like a normal person.

Especially in Ye Yingying's eyes now, no matter how good-looking or outstanding Jiang Jianian is, how could a cold-hearted person like him have feelings? He is not good enough for Ye Zhiwei.

However, Jiang Jianian has changed.

She thought Jiang Jianian's way of expressing his feelings was forceful, possessive, and demanding that the other person obey him without regard for the girl's feelings. When she sensed something was wrong with their relationship from Ye Zhiwei's words, she was prepared to test him. If Ye Zhiwei didn't know what kind of person Jiang Jianian was and was deceived by Jiang Jianian's glamorous appearance, then she would definitely expose Jiang Jianian's true colors.

She was prepared to help Ye Zhiwei escape from Jiang Jianian's side if Ye Zhiwei showed any signs of discomfort, but she vaguely sensed a change in Jiang Jianian.

Although the change didn't seem that significant, and Jiang Jianian still both frightened and angered her, something that Ye Yingying thought was absolutely impossible still happened.

Ye Yingying was somewhat surprised, but didn't say much. Even if Jiang Jianian made some changes, it still depended on Sister Zhiwei's willingness.

Then, after hearing what Jiang Jianian said, Ye Zhiwei, who was admiring the necklace, became a little shy and happy, admiring her own beauty. Her face showed that she was completely captivated by her own beauty and shocked that she was so good-looking.

Ye Yingying: ...

Although I had guessed Ye Zhiwei's subtle feelings for Jiang Jianian before, it seems that their relationship may be a little different from what I thought.

Sensing that Ye Zhiwei's feelings for Jiang Jianian might be deeper, Ye Yingying didn't stop herself from making things difficult for Jiang Jianian. After Ye Zhiwei admired herself for a while, Ye Yingying innocently continued, "Sister Zhiwei is indeed very beautiful, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need jewelry. Wearing jewelry would make her even more beautiful, because it makes her skin look more radiant and her overall outfit more glamorous. Plus, the little diamonds are just as sparkly as she is. Brother Jianian just doesn't understand girls."

At this point, she asked Ye Zhiwei knowingly, "Sister Zhiwei, has Brother Jianian ever bought you any jewelry?"

Ye Zhiwei paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Jianian, and said after a while, "It seems like there really isn't any."

"Is that so? Maybe Brother Jia Nian doesn't know that Sister Zhi Wei likes these things. Brother Jia Nian doesn't really understand girls..." Ye Yingying said with a smile, "He doesn't understand girls at all. He's always been a straight man. Brother Jia Nian is not only aloof but also a straight man."

Are you a straight man?

He doesn't seem like a straight man; he's really good at flirting, although it seems he's never given her any gifts.

Ye Zhiwei fell into deep thought.

Ye Yingying glanced triumphantly at Jiang Jianian, then continued with a smile, "Brother Jianian needs to change his ways. Giving gifts to girls isn't a troublesome thing. Girls love surprises and romance. Look at Sister Zhiwei, she loves sparkly things. You had to say it's better not to bring anything at all, that's so disappointing! Shouldn't you have continued to praise Sister Zhiwei's beauty? Brother Jianian, if you're ever in a relationship, don't just ignore your girlfriend after she buys you something you think is useless. That would be so disappointing later on!"

Ye Yingying paused for a moment, then said to Ye Zhiwei, "Sister Zhiwei, if your boyfriend doesn't like what you buy and wear, and always says things that spoil your mood, you can come to me! I love seeing you dressed up so elegantly and looking like a princess. Then I'll be your little maid and stay by your side!"

The green tea girl's skill in flattering people is truly masterful; her words are as sweet as honey. Compared to her, Jiang Jianian's lighthearted praise for her just now doesn't seem so sweet anymore.

She put herself in Jiang Jianian's shoes and firmly believed that he was only coaxing her a little because he hadn't won her over yet. But once they were actually together, Ye Zhiwei felt that even if she wore jewelry and dressed up in a flamboyant way, she would definitely be attacked from head to toe.

The "green tea sister" truly lives up to her reputation as the original female lead; she understands the male lead so well!
