After Yu Shishu left, Jiang Jianian was clearly in a good mood because of Ye Zhiwei's words, and even treated Ye Yingying much more kindly.

This time, Jiang Jianian not only nipped Ye Zhiwei's potential suitors in the bud, but also gained a clearer understanding of Ye Zhiwei's feelings.

His meeting with Yu Shishu ended in a complete victory for Jiang Jianian, especially pleased by Ye Zhiwei's unequivocal stance.

In the battle between Jiang Jianian and Yu Shishu for love, what truly made Yu Shishu give up completely was not Jiang Jianian's effortless demeanor when facing his rival, nor Jiang Jianian's subtle hints about his close relationship with Ye Zhiwei, but Ye Zhiwei herself.

It was Ye Zhiwei's tacit acceptance of Jiang Jianian's words and actions, Ye Zhiwei's involuntary smile when she was by Jiang Jianian's side, Ye Zhiwei's enjoyment of all of Jiang Jianian's thoughtfulness, and finally Ye Zhiwei's resolute and unwavering rejection of Yu Shishu—this was the true decisive blow.

Ye Zhiwei's entire attitude only proves one thing: she likes Jiang Jianian, and they are mutually in love. Yu Shishu has no chance of getting involved.

Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian's interactions throughout the day not only nipped the budding romance in the bud with Yu Shishu, but also allowed Ye Yingying to rediscover Jiang Jianian in a different light than she remembered.

Ye Yingying recalled that Jiang Jianian had basically been revolving around Ye Zhiwei all day. His handling of the love rival was beyond Ye Yingying's imagination. Because Ye Yingying had witnessed Jiang Jianian's cruelty and knew that Jiang Jianian was scheming and acted without considering the consequences, but now Jiang Jianian seemed to be restraining his behavior. Every step he took was very measured.

This really surprised Ye Yingying. She originally thought that no matter how much Jiang Jianian liked Ye Zhiwei, he would still hurt Ye Zhiwei to some extent. But now she had to admit that Jiang Jianian was changing himself little by little for Ye Zhiwei. Whenever he was next to Ye Zhiwei, he seemed to turn from a tiger into a big cat, the kind that could endure having its whiskers plucked.

Ye Yingying felt a little more at ease about Jiang Jianian.

Because filming ended a bit late that night, Jiang Jianian didn't go back to the villa to cook. Instead, he drove to a nice restaurant nearby. The group decided to order some dishes for dinner. After arriving at the private room, Jiang Jianian took the menu and ordered according to Ye Zhiwei's preferences. While Jiang Jianian was busy, Ye Yingying secretly sent a message to Ye Zhiwei.

Ye Yingying: Sister Zhiwei, pay close attention to Brother Jianian. He seems to have been completely pacified from head to toe. He can't hide his happiness. Even when I pester you, he doesn't try to ostracize me like he used to.

Ye Zhiwei: [Smirking][Smirking]

Ye Yingying: Although I think Brother Jia Nian is barely good enough to be worthy of Sister Zhi Wei, Sister Zhi Wei, don't forget that you still need to train him properly. You need to let Brother Jia Nian know that it's hard to win over a wife. Once you win her over, you have to cherish her. Otherwise, she can run away at any time. If Brother Jia Nian doesn't do well, I'll encourage Director Yu to take you away!

Ye Zhiwei: [Laughing and crying at the same time] Yingying, don't let Jiang Jianian know what you're saying. He won't take your words as a joke.

Even Sister Zhiwei knows how ruthless Jiang Jianian can be when he gets jealous!

Ye Yingying glanced at Jiang Jianian and snorted inwardly.

Ye Yingying was making all sorts of little moves, and Jiang Jianian was also keenly aware that Ye Yingying was doing something unpleasant again. However, Jiang Jianian was in a good mood at the moment and didn't bother to argue with Ye Yingying. He glanced at Ye Yingying indifferently and then pushed the menu in front of Ye Yingying so that she could see it herself.

"Choose what you want to eat, and then go out and give it to the waiter," he said directly to Ye Yingying.

Ye Yingying: ...

Although Jiang Jianian did not intentionally make things difficult for Ye Yingying, he was very adept at getting Ye Yingying to do things. Whenever he had time, Jiang Jianian would send Ye Yingying away.

After ordering a dish, Ye Yingying was too lazy to argue with Jiang Jianian, so she took the menu and went out.

Only Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei remained in the private room.

The atmosphere was slightly tense. Feeling Jiang Jianian's burning gaze on her, and recalling the words she had said to Yu Shishu that were similar to a confession to Jiang Jianian, Ye Zhiwei lowered her head shyly.

Suddenly Ye Zhiwei heard something fall to the ground. It seemed that Jiang Jianian had just bumped his elbow on something. Ye Zhiwei immediately said, "I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up."

The spoon fell.

Because of the velvet carpet on the floor, the ceramic spoon did not break.

After realizing that the spoon hadn't broken, Ye Zhiwei immediately bent down, squatted down, and then crawled under the table.

The spoon that Jiang Jianian dropped was under the table a little in front of him. Ye Zhiwei had just bent down and crawled over, picked up the spoon and looked up when Jiang Jianian lowered his head, took Ye Zhiwei's hand, put the spoon in Ye Zhiwei's hand on the table, held Ye Zhiwei's hand, bent down slightly, and then used his other hand to support her face and kiss Ye Zhiwei under the table.

Because it was inconvenient under the table, Ye Zhiwei couldn't even struggle and could only obediently let Jiang Jianian kiss her. Taking advantage of Ye Zhiwei's restraint, he kissed her more and more fiercely, and then began to kiss Ye Zhiwei's hands, kissing from her palms to her wrists. His gaze was very aggressive as he stared at Ye Zhiwei. Finally, while kissing Ye Zhiwei's wrists, he whispered emotionally, "Ye Zhiwei, I am very happy today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room creaked open again.

Ye Yingying is back!

Ye Zhiwei blushed and forcefully pulled her hand back.

Jiang Jianian then released Ye Zhiwei, sat back down in her seat, her clothes neat and clean, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Zhiwei: ...Damn it, she's the only one who's in such a sorry state. That bastard Jiang Jianian.

"Where is Sister Zhiwei?" Ye Yingying asked.

Just moments ago, Jiang Jianian was emotionally turbulent, feeling suppressed and unable to resist the urge to kiss Ye Zhiwei. Now, she composed herself and said calmly, "Under the table."

"Sister Zhiwei—" Ye Yingying exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Zhiwei had already crawled out from under the table again, explaining in a flustered manner, "Sister Yingying, the spoon fell, and I was just picking it up from under the table!"

After she climbed out, she realized that the spoon she had picked up had been placed on the table by Jiang Jianian. She forced herself to point to a spoon on the table in front of Jiang Jianian and said, "That's it."

Ye Yingying: ...No need to think too much, just looking at Jiang Jianian's attitude, I can imagine what must have just happened.

Ye Yingying looked at Ye Zhiwei. Her originally neat and pretty high ponytail now had several messy strands of hair. Because her hair was tied up, you could clearly see that her ears were turning red, and even her lips were a little redder than before.

Jiang Jianian is indeed a scoundrel and a beast in human clothing!

Ye Yingying could only pretend she hadn't noticed anything and sat down next to Ye Zhiwei, smiling as she said to Ye Zhiwei, "Then we'll have the waiter bring us another spoon in a bit."
