Jiang Yue could vaguely sense that her husband seemed to be very wealthy.
That's why they're so generous.
If Zhou Ji can be so generous to someone he doesn't like, won't he be even more devoted to the female lead in the future?
You must not give everything you own to the other party without reservation.
Jiang Yue's thoughts weren't driven by jealousy or resentment, but rather by a sense of disbelief.
Because Zhou Ji seems to be the same kind of person as her, and he won't grovel or act subservient.
His temperament was even a bit more arrogant than hers. He pretended to be very approachable, but in reality, every time he calmly observed others, his gaze revealed a superior and distant air.
Jiang Yue strongly suspected that the useless system in her mind was providing false information.
But even if it's true, it doesn't matter.
She didn't care.
Zhou Ji found it hard to ignore her probing gaze as she stared at him intently. He looked up and met her eyes: "Are you looking at me like that to get revenge?"
Jiang Yue denied it: "No."
She was simply curious: "Zhou Ji, what kind of girl do you like?"
Zhou Ji raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening and becoming unfathomable as he looked at her. "Why are you asking this?"
What new approach is this?
Just a second ago, Zhou Ji thought she had really come to terms with things, but was she still not giving up? She couldn't possibly ask about his preferences for no reason.
Jiang Yue's patience lasted only a few seconds. "If you don't want to talk about it, fine. I didn't particularly want to hear it anyway."
He didn't answer, but she knew the answer.
Isn't she just a gentle, kind, and innocent girl like the female lead?
The couple stared at each other, their dark eyes reflecting each other's images, in a silent stalemate, neither of them uttering a word.
The boy's voice broke the tense atmosphere.
"Mother, may I sit here?"
He had just finished his homework when he went downstairs.
The well-behaved boy was already quite adept at reading people's expressions. He subconsciously sat down in the empty seat next to his mother and then politely asked her questions.
He knew that his mother would not kick him out while his father was alive.
Sure enough, this time was no exception.
His mother tolerated him sitting next to her.
"Whatever."
The family of three sat at the same dining table for the first time in a long time.
Zhou Ji never argued with her in front of the children, so he broke the silence first: "Let's eat."
A sliced steak was placed in front of Jiang Yue. She picked up her knife and fork again and slowly finished the steak, bite by bite.
After dinner, Zhou Zhengchu went back to his room to write.
These past few days, he had actually felt a little bit of secret joy; it seemed that his mother really didn't dislike him anymore.
He didn't want his mother to hate him.
He thought he was about to forgive his mother for what she had done to him in the past.

In the living room, Jiang Yue looked at the man still sitting in front of her and asked with some annoyance, "Are you staying here tonight?"
Her tone was impatient, as if she was afraid others wouldn't notice her dissatisfaction.
Zhou Ji gave her a deep look. "No?"
Jiang Yue really didn't want to share a bed with him, and she was still shaken by his sudden intimacy that day.
"You can sleep in the guest room."
"On what grounds?"
"I am the mistress of the house."
"I am the male homeowner."
Jiang Yue was speechless at his words, which he uttered without batting an eye. They did make some sense: "You have a bad sleeping posture."
Zhou Ji, who was unjustly accused: ?
He smiled, his tone casual yet sarcastic: "Are you hiding someone in your house? Or have you done something wrong that you won't let me in?"
Zhou Ji's gaze remained fixed on her face, as if trying to discern whether she was telling the truth or lying.
Previously, Jiang Yue would often harass Assistant Shen by phone, constantly inquiring about his schedule and urging him to go home and rest early.
It's certainly unusual for someone to change so drastically all of a sudden.
Zhou Ji observed her silently, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Yue frowned: "Stop making baseless accusations."
She glared at him angrily, "You're the one who's unclean!"
She's not unaware of the news; isn't everyone saying he's going to divorce her? He's surrounded by countless female companions.
This is a philandering man.
She was fickle and promiscuous.
Zhou Ji had no intention of explaining anything to her; she had always been rather clueless, and explaining would be a waste of breath.
Zhou Ji originally intended to stay at home overnight, but for some reason, when he met the woman's black pearl-like eyes, he suddenly felt compelled to stay.
"It's my house, I can live here whenever I want."
"Then I'll sleep in the guest room."
"no."
"Why not? Are you determined to make things difficult for me, the princess?" Jiang Yue blurted out in anger, "It's me again, the princess."
After a few times, Zhou Ji actually got used to her strange way of addressing him from time to time.
Princess? Lately, her temperament and behavior have indeed resembled that of a little princess whom no one dares to offend.
"Jiang Yue." The man spoke, perhaps realizing his tone was somewhat cold. He paused, his stern expression gradually softening. Beneath his feigned gentleness lay an undeniable strength. He gently reminded her, "You are my wife, and you need to fulfill your marital obligations to me."
Jiang Yue remained silent.
She wasn't quite sure what marital obligations meant.
Princess Her Highness is sometimes surprisingly open-minded, unlike people from ancient times. When necessary, she is eager to learn and ask questions. In her mind, she asked the system, "What does he mean? Does he want me to sleep with him?"
System: [Uh...]
Jiang Yue nodded, already understanding: "I've really had enough of this humiliating life."
system:? ? ?
System: Does she want to hear what she's saying?
After spending this time together, the system has gained some understanding of the princess's temperament.
The system repeatedly pinched its non-existent philtrum, but before it could even speak to calm her down, it was too late.
Jiang Yue raised her eyelashes, staring straight at the man in front of her, and asked him directly, "You want me to sleep with you?"
Zhou Ji raised an eyebrow. "You understand it that way too, and you're not wrong either."
He glanced at her and smiled, "I didn't really marry a pretty face to be a decoration, Jiang Yue. I also have needs from men."
Marriage is marriage, and desire is desire.
You can have desires even without love.
Besides, didn't she beg him to come home before?
Is it too late to pretend you don't know anything now?
His reluctant expression was so convincing.
Zhou Ji sincerely praised her: "Your acting skills have improved a lot recently." The man's tone was very gentle, but the expression in his eyes was very indifferent. "If you can't make it in the TV station, you can switch careers and become an actress."
Jiang Yue isn't stupid; how could she not hear his sarcasm?
Does he think she's faking it? Putting on airs?
Jiang Yue was already on the verge of exploding with anger, and now she was even more furious.
This man was not only rude, but also arrogant.
How dare they covet her precious body?! Ask her to sleep with them?!
Daydreaming! Shameless! Deserves to die!
Jiang Yue's tolerance for Zhou Ji was already close to zero. She stood up abruptly, her face already red with anger, "You're pushing your luck!"
The little girl's fierce demeanor and cold glare were utterly intimidating, her eyes revealing a charming naiveté: "I will exterminate your entire clan!"
system:……
Speechless / Helpless / Desperate
Zhou Ji: ...
Zhou Ji wasn't a very cheerful person, and he was usually quite reluctant to smile.
In short, he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person to a certain extent.
However, in the past few days, he has felt happy on five separate occasions because of the things Jiang Yue blurted out.
He didn't mean to laugh.
But I just couldn't resist.
He chuckled softly in front of her.
Hearing his laughter, Jiang Yue blinked twice, still confused.
No way? Is he crazy?! How can he still laugh like that?
