Ji Ze's reaction made her feel frustrated.

It wasn't until she tried making different dishes a second time that she realized he didn't eat cilantro.

From then on, she gave up her favorite cilantro and prepared different dishes every day, which she then delivered to his office.

The two spent more than a month like this, and finally the cast on her foot was removed.

In his office, the two sat side by side, both looking somewhat uneasy.

"I should leave." She hesitated for a long time before finally saying these words.

The plaster cast has been removed; what excuse does she have to stay in his house?

"Zhou Wanyu, are you sure?" This was the first time Ji Ze had called her by her full name.

He remembered that she had mentioned before that her family was pressuring her to get married. He hadn't believed it at first, but what if it was true?

Thinking about this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He is a person with both high IQ and EQ, and he understands very well why he feels this way.

He's probably already fallen for this woman.

"Ji Ze, I've troubled you for a long time." Besides, I'm having trouble controlling my emotions.

"Then could you... trouble me for the rest of my life?" Ji Ze said with utmost gentleness.

"What?" She thought she was hallucinating. What did he mean by that?

"Zhou Wanyu, I think I've fallen for you. Would you be my girlfriend?"

His bold and direct confession made her cheeks burn; it turned out she wasn't just indulging in wishful thinking.

Suppressing a smile, she threw herself into his arms. "Of course I'm willing."

"But..." She hesitated again when she thought of the Zhou family.

If the Zhou family finds out about this, it will probably implicate him.

"Look at me." Ji Ze lifted her chin, making her look at him. "I know you're having difficulties, please tell me."

"I am from the Zhou family in Country A." After much hesitation, she finally revealed her predicament.

If he still accepts her after knowing this, then she should stay with him.

She was willing to give up everything in the Zhou family.

After hearing her story, Ji Ze felt a lump in his throat and a pang of heartache.

"Fool, so you're afraid the Zhou family will come after me?"

"Yes, they are inhuman people. They wouldn't even spare me, so how could they possibly spare you?"

"If you want, the Zhou family will consist of only you from now on. Are you willing?"

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion. "What does this mean?"

"The Zhou family is nothing compared to the Ji family." If she wanted to, wiping out the Zhou family wouldn't be a problem.

Without waiting for her reply, Jize made the decision for her.

Early the next morning.

The two were already at a hotel in Country A, and they even used Zhou Wanyu's ID card to book a room.

An hour later.

Mr. Zhou arrived at the room door with a group of bodyguards.

"Xiao Yu, I know you're in there. Come out, Dad has something to tell you."

He spoke in a relatively kind tone in order to get what her mother had left behind.

But Zhou Wanyu inside had already seen through his true nature and knew that he was just acting.

The door opened, and Zhou Wanyu walked out expressionlessly. "You wanted to see me?"

"I am your father, why are you avoiding me?" There was a hint of anger in Zhou's father's eyes.

"Then take me home, I miss my mom."

"......"

"You don't dare? Then what makes you think you can say you're my father?"

“Fine, I’ll take you back.” Zhou’s father’s face darkened.

He was determined to get the item, and since she wanted to go back, he would let her go back.

"Wait, let me call my boyfriend." She turned and went back into the room.

When she came out again, she was accompanied by a man with an outstanding demeanor.

Zhou's father wanted to ask something more, but Zhou Wanyu had already pulled the man away.

Zhou Family Villa.

Zhou Wanyu stood at the door, looking at the same scene as thirteen years ago, only the people inside were no longer the ones she knew.

She led Ji Ze to sit directly on the sofa, completely ignoring Zhou Yuanyuan and her daughter beside her.

"Who are you? How can you be so rude?" Zhou Yuanyuan stood in front of her angrily.

"What's it to you?" Zhou Wanyu didn't even look up.

"This is my home. What business is it of mine? Get out of here."

"Is your name Zhou Wanyu?"

"What?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a little confused. Why bring up that woman?

"The only daughter of the Zhou family is me, Zhou Wanyu. Who are you?"

Zhou Yuanyuan stared at her with wide eyes, "You're Zhou Wanyu?"

When Zhou's father came in, he saw the two arguing. "Yuanyuan, say less."

He didn't ask Zhou Wanyu to go home to argue with her.

"Xiao Yu, did your mother leave you anything?" he asked bluntly.

Yes, but I don't know what you want?

"It's a necklace. It looks valuable, but it's not very useful. If you take it out, I'll trade you something else."

"Zhou Heng, do you think I'm still a child? Do you think I'll believe whatever you say?"

Her hands clenched into fists and trembled slightly; he was still so shameless.

"Zhou Wanyu, you're asking for death." Zhou Heng's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he was just short of attacking.

“You’re the one who’s courting death.” Ji Ze, who had been silent all along, stood up.

Whether in height or presence, he completely overwhelmed Zhou Heng.

"What business is it of yours how I discipline my own daughter?" Zhou Heng didn't take Ji Ze to heart.

If he can even be interested in that useless Zhou Wanyu, where else could he possibly go?

"Oh, so your daughter Zhou Wanyu was already sent to seduce Mo Shiyan?"
