Jiang Yue didn't hold the photos against him, entirely because he had indeed taken very beautiful pictures of her.
Jiang Yue ate a bit too much tonight, and her belly was a little round. On the way home, she asked the driver to stop the car at the entrance of the alley, and the two of them took a slow walk.
They walked and walked far away.
She wandered into some alley and happened to run into a street vendor selling ham sausages at night. The aroma of the sausages whetted her appetite.
She usually lives a refined life, eats exquisite food, and occasionally craves unhealthy snacks and treats.
Jiang Yue stopped and stared intently at the still-steaming sausages on the stall.
Their eyes were practically screaming that they wanted to eat it.
Zhou Ji remained silent for a while, then said, "Not very healthy."
Jiang Yue turned her face to meet his cold, pale expression, and pursed her lips: "But everyone has to die."
Zhou Ji tightened his grip on her hand, his emotions steady, and said gently, "It's better to die later."
Jiang Yue has her own money, but she's used to bossing people around, and she's always believed that actions speak louder than words. Sweet talk is one thing, but actions speak louder than words.
She blinked innocently, "But I want to eat it."
The princess felt she wasn't very good at acting cute, so she sighed dramatically, pretending to be disappointed but also expecting it: "You men always say nice things, all that love is in your mouth, but you can't even bear to buy a sausage."
As Jiang Yue acted, she became so immersed in the role that it seemed Zhou Ji was indeed an extremely stingy man, and she had spent many years of miserable and pitiful days with him.
"I can't even get grilled sausages, and I can't even stand up straight in front of others."
"A stingy person."
In fact, Her Highness spent all her money at the mall this afternoon using her very frugal credit card, with no limit or upper limit.
She remembered that she had also bought him a tie, intending to give it to him as a small surprise.
Now, she's a little reluctant to deliver it.
Zhou Ji fell silent. After a long while, he compromised under her expectant gaze, "I'll go buy it."
Jiang Yue hugged his neck, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a perfunctory kiss. "Go ahead."
Starch sausage sold on the street.
It's definitely not very hygienic or clean.
Jiang Yue couldn't wait to take a bite, almost burning her tongue. The sausage tasted great, with a crispy outer skin and a secret spicy sauce that awakened her taste buds.
She wanted another one after she finished hers.
Jiang Yue subconsciously looked at the man beside her. The streetlights cast dappled shadows, highlighting the man's tall and slender figure. She was momentarily stunned, then came to her senses and said, "I still want to eat."
Zhou Ji's refusal was nothing short of ruthless: "No."
One is already the limit.
Jiang Yue said, "I can ask someone else to buy it for me."
Zhou Ji ignored her, his slender fingers gripping her wrist tightly, easily shattering her hopes of finding someone else. He pulled her away from this sinful place.
His other hand gripped her waist forcefully.
Jiang Yue was a little rowdy, "Then I'll go buy it myself."
What's wrong with occasionally eating a little junk food?
Zhou Ji can be really controlling at times; it's not hard to imagine what he'll be like when he becomes a father.
Jiang Yue was dragged back to the car by Zhou Ji. After locking the car door, she sat in the passenger seat, still a little sullen.
It's just one more piece, right?
He's really making a mountain out of a molehill and being petty.
If her body were truly so fragile, so easily overwhelmed by these unhealthy foods, she would have died of illness long ago.
Jiang Yue said with a stern face, "Let me out of the car."
Zhou Ji had already started the engine, but the car stopped at the intersection. He turned his head slightly to the side and asked, "Do you really still want to eat?"
To be honest, Jiang Yue wasn't as greedy as she had been just now. She seemed to be deliberately going against Zhou Ji, doing the things he forbade her to do.
She was testing Zhou Ji's tolerance for her.
Let's see if he can really indulge her without any limits.
When the princess loves someone, she is sincere and open. She says that she loves the person who loves her, so naturally she must give everything and can only love her.
Jiang Yue raised her chin, her eyes and brows revealing an innate pride: "Mm."
Zhou was silent for a few seconds, then restarted the car after the light turned green. He then calmly said, "I'll give you a good meal when we get back."
Jiang Yue: "?"
She couldn't help but turn her head and look at him curiously. Could he still make sausages?
She thought about it and it didn't seem difficult.
But there shouldn't be any in his residence. Zhou Ji, like her, is a very picky person when it comes to food ingredients.
She asked, bewildered, "Do you have grilled sausages?"
The refrigerator contains only healthy and fresh ingredients, most of which are air-freighted that day.
Zhou Ji's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he said calmly, "There aren't any at home."
He paused, then said, "I have."
Jiang Yue could never compare to Zhou Ji in this regard. At first, she really thought that Zhou Ji's words simply meant that he had it.
"You don't have it at home, but you do..." Her contradictory words were puzzling. She struggled to understand: "You brought it with you?"
Zhou Ji raised an eyebrow, his expression gradually relaxing, a faint smile lingering at the corner of his eyes. His deep, magnetic voice sounded very sexy, "Mm."
The man admitted without batting an eye, "It's on me."
Jiang Yue, still clueless, asked, "Where did you hide it?"
Zhou remained silent for a while, assuming she didn't understand. Just as they were about to give her a perfunctory answer,
Jiang Yue suddenly realized her mistake, her face burning with embarrassment. "Zhou Ji, you are truly shameless!"
They can say anything.
He can say it so seriously, without being ashamed at all.
Where is his sense of shame? Where is his morality? Where is his bottom line?
No, no, none of them.
Zhou Ji, who had been scolded, looked listless. He slowly slowed down the car and pretended to be serious: "Shall I get out of the car now and go back to buy it for you? Can you still eat?"
Jiang Yue could no longer look directly at him.
Her face was burning hot, like a ripe cherry, completely red inside and out. "You're so annoying, I don't want to eat anymore."
She never wants to eat it again.
That damned Zhou Ji.
Yellow-hearted old fox!
Zhou Ji parked the car in front of the Qin family's house, but didn't unlock it immediately. He turned his head, his profile clearly and coldly defined in the moonlight, and asked, "Do you want to stay at my place tonight?"
Her gentle voice carried an allure.
Jiang Yue felt that he was deliberately trying to seduce her, making expressions that she liked, bewitching her, and making her nod in agreement.
She was very wary, saying, "No."
Zhou Ji: "Shall we go to a hotel?"
Jiang Yue: "..."
His intentions are as clear as day; he's not even trying to hide them anymore.
Jiang Yue shook her head again: "No, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I won't let you succeed tonight."
Her sweater accentuated her fair skin and radiant complexion; even when she was angry, she still exuded a vibrant and captivating charm.
She's easily embarrassed, and what I just said probably made her angry and embarrassed.
Even when she's sulking, she's still adorable.
She's cute no matter what.
Zhou Ji's eyes darkened, but his expression remained calm. He even asked her guiltily, as if he really didn't know why she refused: "Why?"
Jiang Yue said frankly, "I'm afraid you'll treat me to sausages."
Zhou Ji: "..."
He did try to hold it in, but the corners of his lips involuntarily turned up, and he coughed twice to cover his smile.
Hearing his laughter, Jiang Yue felt even more that he had ill intentions.
…
The living room of the Qin family was brightly lit.
It was past ten o'clock at night, and Qin Genzhi and Yan Wan were still awake. Qin Zhao and Jiang Zhi were also sitting on the sofa, each occupying one side, and they didn't seem to know each other very well.
Jiang Yue was startled when she entered the room.
It's been a long time since I've seen the whole family together like this, all in the living room, but not a single person is watching TV attentively.
Yan Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had returned home safely. "You're back. Are you tired? I'll have the nanny run a bath for you. You can take a nice bath later."
Jiang Yue nodded and said okay.
Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of the four people in the living room, she asked uncertainly, "Are you waiting for me?"
Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.
Jiang Zhi put down the remote control, finally stopping the channel changing.
As luck would have it, it happened to be on CCTV Documentary Channel.
The television was broadcasting live, and the host excitedly announced in front of the camera: "Behind me is a newly excavated tomb. The identity of the tomb owner has not yet been confirmed, but a box of complete historical documents that filled a gap in the history of the Jiang Dynasty has just been unearthed!"
