This reaction.

Ye Zhiwei coughed and said awkwardly, "I just called you, cousin, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

“Every time you call me, especially when you call me like this, nothing good ever happens.”

Ye Zhiwei said shyly, "No, not really."

"You don't even have this much self-awareness." Ji Shuli stood far away from Ye Zhiwei, looking at her warily, and asked, "What tricks are you up to now, you little brat?"

Ye Zhiwei chuckled dryly, "This time there really are no tricks, no tricks at all. I just want to ask you something."

Just as Ye Zhiwei was about to move closer to Ji Shuli, Ji Shuli immediately shouted, "Stop!"

Ye Zhiwei could only stand still.

“Okay, you can tell me what's on your mind. My cousin has been very busy and tired lately. Besides checking on IV’s condition, he mainly came to rest for a while. Don’t make things difficult for me.” Ji Shuli rubbed her back. “Every time you act cute towards me, your boyfriend doesn’t seem to care at all. But whenever you invite him to the gym, I’m always the one who gets jealous of any kind of exercise. How come you’re even jealous of your cousin? That brat doesn’t know how to respect his elders.”

Haha, my cousin is the real scoundrel. What respect for elders and love for the young? He just wants to take advantage of Jiang Jianian.

Ye Zhiwei glanced at Ji Shuli, but stood at a distance. She smiled and asked, "How's your research project going today?"

"good."

Ye Zhiwei smiled and continued to inquire about the situation: "Did something go wrong? Why did you bring him back to work overtime?"

"This might be what genius is all about. Originally, he was supposed to point out the error and ask the research center to make some changes. But there was a big shot at the IV Medicine Research Center who got into a dispute with Jiang Jianian. You know how it is, the older generation is always stubborn and unwilling to admit their mistakes. They just walked away. The other people weren't in charge of this area, and they didn't even know what the problem was. So your boyfriend brought it back and made the changes himself."

Ye Zhiwei nodded and then asked, "Is Jiang Jianian angry?"

“No, not really. But Xiao Jiang is always very serious and focused when he does these things. He should be in his room revising them right now.” Ji Shuli glanced at his watch. “This can’t go on like this. I noticed he didn’t eat much tonight. Maybe we should order some takeout or wash some fruit for him. He doesn’t need to work so hard.”

"I'll go, I'll go. I happen to need to talk to him, so I'll take this opportunity to distract him." Ye Zhiwei immediately intercepted the task.

Ji Shuli understood from Ye Zhiwei's mention of Jiang Jianian that the little girl wanted to go find Jiang Jianian, but was worried about disturbing him. She tried to get information out of him to see if it was appropriate to go find Jiang Jianian at this time.

Ye Zhiwei happily went to wash the fruit, and Ji Shuli immediately sent a message to Jiang Jianian to boast: "Hey, how's the data you revised going?"

"almost."

Such a quick reply! Looks like you just finished editing and picked up your phone.

Are you going downstairs now?

"Isn't Ye Zhiwei downstairs?" Jiang Jianian replied directly.

Ha, he's down here looking for a girlfriend.

Ji Shuli boasted, "Your girlfriend went to wash the fruit at my suggestion and is going to bring it up to you."

A few seconds later, Jiang Jianian sent an emoji with the caption: "My cousin is so thoughtful."

The little rabbit, who was about to be delivered to the door, had already washed the grapes, peeled a small portion of lychees, and gone upstairs. Little did she know that her cousin had already told Jiang Jianian everything about her unusual behavior.

Basically, when Ye Zhiwei went upstairs with the fruit, Jiang Jianian had already turned off his phone and was waiting for her.

Ye Zhiwei secretly opened the door and glanced inside. She noticed that Jiang Jianian seemed to be looking at some documents. She took a deep breath and tiptoed inside.

Jiang Jianian, who had already sensed the commotion, remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't noticed Ye Zhiwei suddenly sneaking in.

Ye Zhiwei wasn't sure if Jiang Jianian was working at the moment. She cautiously observed how busy Jiang Jianian was. She found a place to put down the fruit plate and was considering whether to suddenly scare Jiang Jianian. Before she could react, Jiang Jianian had already quietly pulled Ye Zhiwei over.

Ye Zhiwei was deep in thought when she was startled by the sudden appearance of the hand. She realized she was already in Jiang Jianian's arms and breathed a sigh of relief. She was momentarily stunned, then clenched her small fist and punched Jiang Jianian, saying, "You scared me! You scared me! How dare you scare me like that!"

Words of grievance.

Jiang Jianian asked with a smile, "You sneaked in, secretly put down the fruit plate, and secretly observed me, always looking for an opportunity. Tell me, who scared me, or who scared you?"

Ye Zhiwei was taken aback by the question and finally said after a long while, "Although I have ill intentions, you have to cooperate with me. How can you scare me instead?"

My girlfriend's double standards and tendency to turn the tables on me.

Jiang Jianian said with a smile, "It seems I was wrong after all."

“It’s your fault.” Ye Zhiwei pointed at Jiang Jianian and said, “Be serious, no more joking around.”

The longer they dated, the bolder Ms. Ye became.

Jiang Jianian immediately responded with a self-reflection: "Yes, it's all my fault. I need to cooperate with whatever you do in the future, and I should pretend not to see your little tricks even if I notice them."

Ye Zhiwei nodded in satisfaction, wrapped her arms around Jiang Jianian's neck, buried her face in his neck and bit and kissed him. After seeing that there was a good patch, she patted him and said with satisfaction, "This is your reward for being a good girl."

Jiang Jianian gently stroked his neck, looking thoughtful.

After spending some time together, Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian started discussing with her boyfriend the fact that Ye Yingying was coming to visit her soon.

This time, Jiang Jianian didn't seem too resistant. He seemed to have gotten used to someone always popping up when he was with Ye Zhiwei. He glanced at Ye Zhiwei and said, "It's up to you."

"Well, I have one more request."

"What are your requirements?" Jiang Jianian asked with interest.

Ye Zhiwei was a little embarrassed. After a while, she said, "Look, can you give me some face in front of Yingying? You know that Yingying admires me a lot, so I have to set a good example for her."

"What role model?"

“Of course, it’s about family status—” Ye Zhiwei chimed in directly.

Jiang Jianian smiled enigmatically, “You certainly have a strong sense of image, Ye Zhiwei.”

Even Ye Zhiwei was mentioned. Ye Zhiwei hugged Jiang Jianan and began to act coquettishly, "You're so annoying! Don't I have any status in the family? Aren't I the most important person in our family? You said you would pamper me, coax me, and cherish me. What's wrong with giving me some face?"

Jiang Jianian was still wearing a suit at this moment, probably because he had been working since he came back and hadn't even loosened his tie. Despite his abstinent and serious appearance, he was doing something extremely beastly.

The boy's hand reached down Ye Zhiwei's skirt from her thigh and caressed her. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said with a deep desire in his eyes, "You're right, but if I cooperate with you, you should at least give me some reward, right?"
