Chapter 190 The Cunning Man



The voice was also gentle and soft.

Jiang Yue's face felt inexplicably hot again, as if the blood beneath her skin was gradually heating up. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to put aside the strange feeling. She really thought about it seriously again, and she wasn't good at lying: "It went very smoothly."

The man raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.

Jiang Yue felt as if the skin he touched had been scalded, burning like wildfire. She turned her face slightly away and asked politely, "What are you doing here?"

Today is a workday.

Zhou Ji should have a job.

He's usually quite busy with work, doesn't he often go on business trips?

However, after asking the question, Jiang Yue looked at the people following behind him. They were all dressed impeccably, as if they had important business to attend to.

Zhou Ji said, "There's something we need to discuss here."

He paused, as if there was no one else around besides them, and calmly asked, "Shall I take you back in a bit?"

Jiang Yue shook her head: "No need."

Zhou Ji neither said yes nor no, and finally said to her in a very generous manner, "Have fun."

The indulgent tone suggested a great deal of leniency.

It was as if she was doing something trivial.

Assistant Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For a moment, he thought World War III was about to begin here. It's really a coincidence that this coffee shop was opened by Mr. Shen's friend in his spare time.

There is a separate lounge upstairs.

After Zhou Ji went upstairs and his aloof figure disappeared from sight, Jiang Yue slowly came back to her senses. Cen Yue seemed even more taciturn than before, and his smile was somewhat forced.

He probably knew that too.

After a moment of silence, Cen Yue asked, "Was that your ex-husband just now?"

Jiang Yue wasn't surprised that Cen Yue knew Zhou Ji. Before a blind date, they would probably learn about each other's basic personal information. For example, Qin Zhao had sent her Cen Yue's age and job last night.

"Yes, that's right."

Cen Yue clenched his fist silently. He knew she had been married and had an ex-husband.

He didn't mind these things, but... but the two of them didn't seem like a divorced couple just now, they were very... very intimate.

They get along like family.

Cen Yue's expression was somewhat bitter. The man just now had a fierce aura, and you could feel his aggressiveness even from a distance. He must be quite strong-willed, and his gestures and words didn't seem like those of an unreasonable person.

He was extremely emotionally stable and possessed remarkable composure.

He was also refined and cultured.

Cen Yue paled in comparison to his few casual words, feeling utterly ashamed. The other man seemed to be looking at him with an air of shrewdness, his superior gaze tinged with a hint of mockery.

A cold gaze, undisguised, lingered deep within his eyes.

It seemed as if they didn't consider him a competitor at all, or as if he was simply not worthy of the title.

Cen Yue quickly adjusted his mood. Since they were divorced, it meant there were problems in the marriage. Maybe they no longer loved each other, or maybe someone had made a mistake. In that case, it was normal for them to still be as close as family.

"Ms. Jiang, would it be convenient to exchange contact information?"

Jiang Yue thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The two added each other on WeChat, and Jiang Yue was getting a little bored in the coffee shop.

Cen Yue then very gentlemanly offered to take her home.

Jiang Yue did not refuse.

Cen Yue's car was parked at the entrance. As soon as the two walked out, he was grabbed by the arm by a man with an anxious expression: "I'm so sorry, I accidentally bumped into your car just now."

The impact wasn't serious; the rear of the car was just dented.

The driver who caused the accident was very apologetic, and then said, "I have already called the police. Please wait here with me until the police arrive."

Cen Yue was somewhat helpless. He looked at the girl beside him, opened his mouth, and was about to say something.

Then someone came forward, speaking politely and respectfully: "Madam, the master would like you to wait for him for two minutes. He will go back with you."

I don't know if Assistant Shen really forgot or did it on purpose.

Assistant Shen was probably one of the few people who knew about her divorce from Zhou Ji very early on.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but remind him, "I'm not Mrs. Zhou anymore."

Assistant Shen smiled apologetically, "I just kept saying it that way and didn't correct myself just now."

It might take two minutes, or even less.

Zhou Ji reappeared, bathed in bright sunlight that fell perfectly on the man's straight nose. His skin was as translucent as snow reflecting the sunlight. He wore a well-tailored dark suit with a perfect fit, and the trousers had an excellent drape. His narrow waist and long legs showed that he had a superior physique.

Beside him was a young man Jiang Yue had never seen before. He had a somewhat wicked smile, as if he recognized her, and a roguish air about him, as if he were watching a good show.

Zhou Ji said calmly, "We're leaving now."

The man clicked his tongue, his lighter snapped, and the lit cigarette flickered in the wind. He chuckled softly, "I wonder what you have to show for yourself."

Zhou Ji ignored it.

The man seemed to find it uninteresting, and turned his gaze back to Jiang Yue, his smile somewhat incomprehensible. "So good to your ex-wife?"

Zhou Ji said without changing his expression, "Even if we can't be husband and wife, we're still family."

The man with captivating, almond-shaped eyes seemed to have heard a funny joke. He twitched the corners of his lips and gave a meaningful smile. "Is that so?"

That old beast's words are truly hypocritical.

On the surface, he seems very understanding and a good ex-husband.

Zhou Ji glanced at him and nodded without a hint of guilt.

"How dare you say that?" Then, as if enjoying the drama, he added insult to injury: "How could you even have someone crash your relative's blind date's car?"

What are you pretending for?

Big-tailed wolf.

Zhou Ji seemed to have gone deaf. After a while, he calmly said with an extremely composed face, "It's best not to make things up without evidence."

The words had barely left his lips.

Zhou Ji had already left him behind and walked up to Jiang Yue, raising his chin and saying indifferently, "I'm just going back anyway, wanna come together?"

The police have arrived at the scene and are discussing with the car owner how to handle the accident.

The driver who caused the accident was talking a lot, but his words were incoherent and unclear, leaving Cen Yue unable to extricate himself for the time being.

Before Jiang Yue could even nod, Zhou Ji had already pulled her into the car.

Zhou Ji held her hand tightly the whole time, and even after getting into the car, he didn't seem to intend to let go. As if possessed, Jiang Yue didn't try to pull away and silently let him hold her hand.

If she remembers correctly.

It seems Zhou Ji previously admitted that he liked her.

However, Jiang Yue didn't know how much of Zhou Ji's affection for her was genuine.

Just like she still doesn't understand how much she vaguely likes Zhou Ji.

"Jiang Yue".

"Um?"

The sudden sound beside her ear startled her awake.

Zhou Ji turned his face to her and stared at her intently. "We haven't gotten a divorce certificate yet. It's immoral for you to go on blind dates now."

Jiang Yue vaguely sensed his displeasure.

She raised her eyelashes without flinching and said, "But you also go on blind dates."

Although Jiang Yue felt that she had some feelings for Zhou Ji, after breaking free from this fog, she saw things clearly and said with a hint of determination, "We will all have new lives."

The story may have changed.

The leading lady in Zhou Ji's life is no longer Zhao Shuyan, but there will be others.
