Chapter 533 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 25

Jiang Zhiyi's hands clenched tightly.

Pei Chengce...

Has this matter actually involved him?

Regardless of whether he did it intentionally or not, even if he did, he wouldn't do such a thing without a reason.

There must be some reason.

“I…” Jiang Zhiyi didn’t know what to say at this moment, so she simply shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Junyu: "So do you think he was intentionally targeting us?"

Jiang Zhiyi lowered her eyes, refusing to look at him.

He still shook his head.

"I don't know."

The words had barely left her mouth when Junyu lowered his head and bit her earlobe.

The force wasn't heavy, but it carried a warning.

Jiang Zhiyi looked up at him and saw that his expression was not good, clearly indicating that he was already angry.

He knew that he and Pei Chengze were close friends and had been playmates since childhood, so he probably wanted to take his anger out on her now.

I should have listened to Cuiyu and not joined in this fun.

Now look what's happened; she's really going to be dragged into this unjustly.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Zhiyi could only hurriedly try to make amends for Pei Chengce.

“Brother Chengce has always been considerate of the bigger picture and wouldn’t use such underhanded methods against the Jun family. There must be some misunderstanding. I’ll ask him myself another day… if there’s an opportunity. For now, let’s assess our losses and stop thinking about these things…”

"Considering the overall situation?" Jun Yu chuckled softly, his face darkening as if covered in ice.

Unexpectedly, she was still thinking about protecting outsiders and speaking up for other men.

Jiang Zhiyi looked into his unfathomable eyes.

That look made her inexplicably uneasy.

“I know you’re upset, but Chengze and I grew up together. He loves the people like his own children; he’s not that kind of person…”

“That was before,” Junyu interrupted her. “People change.”

Especially in this unpredictable power struggle, people's hearts are the most unreliable thing.

She's so naive it's infuriating.

Jun Yu sighed.

I have no idea how much bewitching potion Pei Chengce had given her; she was completely bewitched.

“You think he’s innocent and harmless, but that’s just the image he wants you and others to see. Now that you’re my wife, you’re not allowed to speak up for him anymore.”

Jiang Zhiyi: "If Brother Chengce really wanted to deal with the Jun family, why go through all this trouble? He could have done it openly and honestly..."

Pei Chengce was a prince, and although the Jun family was the wealthiest in the world, they were just an ordinary family.

Where is there any chance to resist imperial power?

"How can it be done openly and honestly? This isn't child's play; even being open and honest requires a convincing reason. The easiest way is to use someone else to do the dirty work. This time, it's clearly aimed at the Jun family, yet all the clues point to the robbers. Killing without leaving a trace—isn't that his brilliance?"

Junyu took a step forward and pulled her into his arms.

He really wanted to teach her a lesson right then and there.

"You're protecting him, but have you thought about me? I'm your husband. If I were on the ship today and something happened to me, would you also try to excuse him? You'd be a widow then, let's see what you do then."

Seeing how serious he was making it, Jiang Zhiyi immediately said, "I didn't mean that..."

She wanted to say something more, but he grabbed her chin.

He lowered his head and kissed her.

The kiss was urgent and intense; the farewell was a deliberate expression of his emotions.

Jiang Zhiyi was almost breathless from his kisses.

However, Junyu still didn't let go.

He had originally intended to say directly that Pei Chengze was probably targeting the Jun family because of her, but he refrained from mentioning it.
