Jiang Jianian served soup to Ye Zhiwei and helped her to further clean the crab meat that had been almost processed on the table and put it in Ye Zhiwei's bowl, serving Ye Zhiwei the whole meal.

He didn't eat much, mainly focusing on staple foods and rarely touching the side dishes on the table. Ye Zhiwei, on the other hand, would basically not eat staple foods, but would finish all the various dishes on the table.

Tangxin Hotel's menu has many price ranges. The high-priced dishes mainly use the best parts of various ingredients and are beautifully presented, but the portions are actually very small. Ye Zhiwei can finish them all. She put the last piece of French foie gras into her mouth and looked at Jiang Jianian, "Are you going to work?"

Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Zhiwei.

Ye Zhiwei immediately forced a smile: "If you have a lot of things to do, hurry up and get back to work. Don't you still have to go to work?"

"You're going out with Ye Yingying this afternoon, right?" Jiang Jianian sneered. "You often use her as an excuse to fool me, don't you?"

Ye Zhiwei immediately clung to Jiang Jianian and said in a fawning tone, "How could it be just to appease you? I was just worried that you'd be busy and I'd bother you~ My boyfriend is angry."

Ye Zhiwei unleashed her ultimate weapon: acting cute.

She was both flattering and coquettish.

Jiang Jianian squinted at Ye Zhiwei without saying a word.

This is an expression of dissatisfaction.

When arguing with her boyfriend, taking the initiative is the best approach. Ye Zhiwei immediately said, "I certainly can't be unreasonable if you don't have time for me. It just so happens that Yingying has time, so I'll refrain from bothering you and find something to do. Instead of saying I'm being good, you're looking at me with such a fierce gaze."

Before Jiang Jianian could say anything, Ye Zhiwei herself started to feel wronged.

Jiang Jianian smiled enigmatically, "Are you feeling wronged?"

Ye Zhiwei clung to her boyfriend and said sweetly, "I'm just worried about you having to keep me company while you're working, Jia Nian-gege."

She whispered softly in Jiang Jianian's ear, "Brother Jianian, hmm?...Husband~"

Jiang Jianian, who had been looking cold and displeased and looking for an opportunity to teach Ye Zhiwei a lesson, stopped and asked in a low voice, "What did you just call me?"

Ye Zhiwei was so focused on coaxing Jiang Jianian to stop him from being angry that she spoke so fast that she didn't control her thoughts and blurted out the word "husband".

The effect was excellent, and Jiang Jianian's tone was already filled with laughter.

Ye Zhiwei swallowed hard, then belatedly felt shy under Jiang Jianian's meaningful gaze.

Say it again.

Ye Zhiwei remained silent.

Jiang Jianian lowered his gaze and said calmly, "Is this how you coax me? You finally got to the point, but now you're giving up halfway."

This wasn't her coaxing him at all; it was clearly him finding a term of endearment that pleased him and coaxing her to say it again.

Ye Zhiwei coughed. "I've already said it once. I won't repeat myself."

Jiang Jianian narrowed his eyes, fiddling with his phone without making a sound, and threatened, "If you won't talk, then we'll just stay here together. You don't have to leave, I'll stay and keep you company."

Ye Zhiwei could only quickly approach Jiang Jianian, cough forcefully, and then say with a burning face, "Husband!"

After saying that, he became awkward. "This is the last time. You can't push your luck. Who threatens their girlfriend like that? This has to be from the bottom of their heart..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Jianian shook his phone and tapped the record button. The voice that came through was Ye Zhiwei saying "husband."

Ye Zhiwei stared in disbelief at Jiang Jianian's unexpected move.

Jiang Jianian was in a particularly good mood. He ordered the first, second, and third times—resting his chin on his hand and laughing, "This really does sound like something to put you in a good mood."

"That's ridiculous."

"Oh, I also have some other ways you used to teach me to bully my girlfriend saved on my phone. Would you like to hear them today?" Jiang Jianian said casually. "Of course, I can bully her back if you want."

Aa ...

That's a foul.

"Is there a problem with me recording my girlfriend being affectionate?" Jiang Jianian showed no remorse for bullying Ye Zhiwei, and his words were extremely shameless.

Ye Zhiwei thought about all the "glorious deeds" she had committed that had harmed her in the past, and glared angrily at Jiang Jianian's phone. She tried to snatch it, but Jiang Jianian raised the phone higher.

Ye Zhiwei stood up to grab the phone, and Jiang Jianian also stood up and let Ye Zhiwei try to snatch it, then watched the little cutie try to grab the phone but couldn't get it no matter what she did.

She was practically standing on tiptoe to reach for Jiang Jianian's arm.

Jiang Jianian paused slightly, then reached out and intimately grasped Ye Zhiwei's hand before leaning down to kiss his girlfriend. Only then did he raise the phone again, demonstrating through his actions: you can't steal the phone, but I can't guarantee how much you'll get from me if this continues.

How did he become so shameless?

Ye Zhiwei finally gave up her futile resistance and succumbed to the clutches of that bastard Jiang Jianian, saying indignantly, "I'm not playing with you anymore, you should go to work."

"Who said I was going to the company?" Jiang Jianian said calmly. "You call me husband and accuse me of not wanting to be with you and complaining that I can't be by your side... How could I really leave you here alone? If I continued to neglect you, you would have run off with Ye Yingying, right? I'm not that ungrateful."

"Aren't you going to work?" Jiang Jianian's girlfriend looked at him in surprise.

“Our cousin is free today, so let’s ask him to help out.” Jiang Jianian put his long, clean fingers to his lips, gestured for Ye Zhiwei to be quiet, and then started calling Ye Qingcheng.

This was the first time Ye Zhiwei had seen Jiang Jianian lie through his teeth. He very politely and calmly said that he was feeling a little unwell and that he had heard that Ji Shuli had some free time today, so he asked if Ji Shuli could come and help him out.

Ye Qingcheng clearly didn't think Jiang Jianian was making up an excuse to skip work, and immediately asked him some questions with concern. After learning that Ye Zhiwei was with him, he immediately said, "It's okay. Let Zhiwei keep you company. If you're not feeling well, you need to take care of yourself. These things aren't your responsibility anyway. I'll tell Shuli to go to the company this afternoon. He's been helping me with a lot of internal matters, including the last time you and Zhiwei went out. That kid is pretty good."

Jiang Jianian smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Ye to pass on the message for me."

He calmly hung up the phone. Ye Zhiwei was shocked that her father hadn't noticed anything amiss. She was even more shocked that Jiang Jianian could tell a lie without batting an eye.

"Aren't you just setting your cousin up?" Ye Zhiwei, her conscience pricked at the crucial moment, stood up for her cousin.

Jiang Jianian smiled and said casually, "Didn't my cousin complain that today was too boring? I just helped him find something to do."
