Seeing her smiling face, Zhou Ji felt his mood brighten up as well.
She's cute when she has a cold expression, and she's also very pretty when she smiles. When she smiles secretly with her lips pursed, you can't see her teeth, and she thinks no one can see her.
Zhou Ji didn't recall her having any legal problems recently. He took the coat she had taken off and said gently, "Tell me about it. I'm all ears."
Looking at his cold, fair face, with his calm and composed demeanor, Jiang Yue suddenly realized that Zhou Ji wasn't entirely without merit. At least he had a very handsome face, and most of the time his emotions were extremely stable, remaining calm and composed in the face of adversity.
However, no matter how skilled a strategist is...
There are always things that are beyond our control.
Jiang Yue smiled at him, her eyes sparkling, and blinked: "I don't want to tell you today."
Zhou Ji didn't say much.
He has always been a man of few words.
But now he never holds back his words in front of Jiang Yue, sometimes even talking so much that it's annoying. However, he is also a very good listener.
Jiang Yue likes to read novels before bed. Whenever she comes across a scene that makes her angry, she gets furious and refuses to go to sleep. Instead, she sits up and criticizes the characters in the novel.
Even at this moment, Zhou Ji still had the patience to listen slowly.
Sometimes he felt like a dumping ground for gossip, and he would even willingly listen to the gossip that Jiang Yue occasionally read online.
For example, her friend's fiancé cheated on her with another woman, and she happened to see him at a hotel.
Zhou Ji paused for a moment, then asked, "If I don't want to today, is it okay tomorrow?"
Jiang Yue replied, "Tomorrow isn't an option either. You'll have to wait a little longer."
After she finished speaking, she went to the restaurant, where the table was covered with carefully prepared ingredients that emitted an enticing aroma.
My son just got out of school. He seems to have grown taller these past few days.
He obediently greeted his mother and then sat down next to her.
Every day after school, the boy habitually places the candy given out by the kindergarten in his mother's palm, hoping to receive a smile or a gentle kiss from her.
He had already tasted the joy of being loved by his mother.
Now the roots are buried in this moist and warm soil, no longer wanting to endure the cold wind and frost of the past.
"Mom, chocolate."
The handsome little boy looked up at his mother and whispered something to her.
Jiang Yue looked down, and the next second, her fingers were gently grasped by the boy. He carefully opened his mother's palm and put the wrapped chocolate into her hand.
On the way back, the boy clenched his fist so tightly that the warmth of his palm melted the chocolate and reformed it, making it no longer as exquisite as it had been initially.
Jiang Yue clutched the candy, feeling a slight pang of emotion.
She stared intently at the boy's sincere eyes, at his features that resembled her own, and suddenly remembered the first time she had seen this child.
He stood far away from her, his face downcast.
When he looked up, a shadow flashed across his eyes.
He used to hate her.
But now, it seems that only true feelings can be seen in those beautiful black eyes.
Jiang Yue clutched the chocolate, unwrapped it, and as she brought it to his lips, she asked inexplicably, "You like me more—"
After a pause, the woman looked up at the man sitting opposite them and continued, "Do you still prefer your father?"
Jiang Yue regretted asking the question as soon as it left her mouth.
What's the point of asking that?
If we divorce in the future and give the child a choice, he may not choose me.
Jiang Yue clearly remembered that before she transmigrated into this body, the original owner was not good to her child. Who would like someone who beats them every day?
"Never mind, you don't need to answer."
Zhou Ji looked at her silently, not thinking that she would ask such a childish question for no reason.
Although he selectively pretends to be blind to her, he's not truly blind. Jiang Yue still doesn't particularly like the child she had with him.
Although it's not as excessive as before, there's still not much love involved.
Zhou Ji calmly withdrew his gaze and asked casually, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Jiang Yue found Zhou Ji's keen insight infuriating; the slightest clue was enough to arouse his suspicion. She retorted, "Can't I be curious?"
Zhou Ji looked into her eyes again, his gaze deep, and asked, "Do you care?"
Jiang Yue originally wanted to say that she didn't care at all, but when she suddenly glanced at the well-behaved little boy sitting next to her, even the usually carefree princess realized that it would be cruel to say such a thing in front of a child.
well.
She has changed.
She's starting to soften her heart towards the children.
She should have been a heartless ruler.
But then she thought about it again, and realized that this child was giving her the candy he himself wouldn't eat, so it wasn't surprising that she felt sorry for him.
Jiang Yue rebuked him righteously: "Don't ask such ill-intentioned questions."
Zhou Ji smiled and said nothing more.

The couple returned to their previous state of mind.
They got along peacefully.
As Zhou Ji said, he would go home on time every night, and even if there was still work to be done, he would try his best to bring it home to deal with.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue is about to broadcast the second episode of the show live.
The ratings and discussion surrounding the previous episode far exceeded the TV station's expectations, leading the station's executives to suspect that Jiang Yue had paid for the ratings.
However, the online discussions seem genuine and heartfelt.
It doesn't look like it was bought.
Jiang Yue's Weibo comments also seem lively and engaging, like those of a real person.
Perhaps this world is still ruled by those who value appearance; regardless of a person's character, being beautiful makes it easier to be forgiven.
Meanwhile, people at the station who watched the show also admired Jiang Yue's acting skills. She could act so realistically as to pretend to be bad-tempered. They wondered if she could still maintain such a good temper after the show ended.
The second episode was filmed on the campus of Peking University, which was quite a coincidence.
The theme of the program is—[Going Back to the Past].
To this end, they rented a student apartment at Kyoto University, a detached villa where students could share accommodation, and invited students from the university to participate in games prepared in advance by the production team.
They believed that if they were going to do something, they should do it big.
The students they invited this time are Jiang Zhi and Zhao Shuyan, who are currently the most beautiful and handsome students at Peking University.
There are also several other students who are excellent in both character and academics.
Zhao Shuyan nodded in agreement because she was short of money.
Jiang Zhi, who has always disliked being the center of attention, surprisingly agreed.
The show is divided into a celebrity group and a classmate group, and the game rules are the simplest truth or dare.
