The man's eyes were clear and dark, and his gaze lingered on her face for a long time.
Jiang Yue didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at by him with such a direct gaze; instead, she felt more of an unease, as if she were being invaded.
Even with a calm gaze, the man before her exuded an overwhelming sense of possessiveness.
Jiang Yue was getting annoyed and couldn't help but want to lose her temper: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Her tone was quite harsh, like a cat with its fur standing on end, as if she were about to say something like, "If you look at me again, I'll gouge your eyes out and feed them to the dogs."
In fact, Jiang Yue did intend to intimidate him in this way.
However, she gradually got used to modern rules. Since killing someone is illegal here, gouging out someone's eyes must also be illegal.
Moreover, our noble princess believes that even if you gouged out his eyes and fed them to a dog, the dog wouldn't eat them!
Zhou Ji casually withdrew his gaze and lazily uttered two words that sounded particularly insincere: "Sorry."
I didn't see what he was apologizing for.
Zhou Ji attributed his recent loss of composure to the subconscious attraction of visual creatures to beautiful things; in short, it was a fleeting moment of lust at first sight.
He has now regained his senses.
He didn't know if Jiang Yue had really become more beautiful, or if he had never really observed her properly before.
Undeniably, she is much more attractive now than before.
However, Zhou Ji did not consider himself to be a superficial person who only cares about appearances.
I haven't liked her in five years, so I can't just fall for her in an instant.
He could never like such a pretty but incompetent woman.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Ji suddenly broke the stillness, asking earnestly yet humbly, "Have you had any cosmetic procedures done recently?"
Jiang Yue didn't understand what he was saying at first, and didn't quite understand what "getting plastic surgery" meant.
The system notification asked if you had undergone cosmetic surgery.
[To have surgery on one's face.]
[Nose augmentation, bone shaving, double eyelid surgery, hyaluronic acid injections.]
This will make you more beautiful.
After finishing its statement, the system, fearing the little princess might go mad and threaten to behead the male lead and exterminate his entire clan, awkwardly added: "[This can also be considered a compliment to your appearance...]"
Right!
That's right!
Jiang Yue was so angry she wanted to laugh, and she actually did laugh.
Only the system could hear her thoughts, a few deafening words: 【Fuck your mother.】
Fortunately, she only cursed in her mind and didn't actually say it out loud.
However, it must be said that if ancient people travel to the modern era, the first ones to integrate into this society will be the ones who get berated!
The system felt relieved for less than two seconds, then heard the little princess say to the male protagonist without changing her expression: "Go to hell with your mother."
His tone was steady and his manner was calm.
It doesn't sound like swearing at all.
Zhou Ji: "..."
system:"……"
Zhou Ji looked at her, and she was surprisingly open and honest, showing no trace of her former timidity, but rather an attitude of "I told you, what can you do to me?"
The system, on the other hand, wished it had crashed.
He was completely numb, utterly paralyzed!
Zhou Ji remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem.
He was puzzled that these three unpleasant words didn't sound as disgusting to him as he had imagined.
He even found it somewhat amusing.
He might really be insane.
Like Jiang Yue, he became mentally unstable.
This may also be related to the fact that he has been returning to the villa too frequently lately, and seeing her more often has led to a gradual change in his perception of her.
Jiang Yue was still very unhappy. "Do you also think I'm pretty?"
Zhou was silent for a moment, then said truthfully, "It's not bad."
Jiang Yue gave a haughty "hmm," and said, "I am naturally beautiful, but you can't be petty."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, his unhurried gaze sweeping across her face before finally settling on the girl's plump, glossy lips, their bright color as alluring as if they had been coated with berries.
It looks soft.
If you get close, you might be able to smell a sweet aroma.
The man swallowed silently, and surprisingly, he felt an urge to kiss her. His sharp teeth tingled, and he longed to pierce her soft, luscious lips and taste if they were sweet.
She looks so delicate.
You might burst into tears just from taking a small bite.
Jiang Yue felt a chill run down her spine under Zhou Ji's gaze. The little princess forced herself to remain calm, her little face tense: "Why are you staring at me like that again?"
Then she told him firmly, "I don't like this."
His eyes were unfathomable, as if he wanted to devour her.
Jiang Yue was naturally not happy about it. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If this were in Jiang Kingdom, who would dare to stare at her so brazenly?
What's even more infuriating is what happened after she said that.
Zhou Ji still did not avert his gaze.
Jiang Yue was about to explode. She was so angry that she muttered through gritted teeth, "You audacious old bastard!"
Zhou Ji didn't hear what she said at all; he could only see the woman's lips opening and closing, her warm breath seemingly carrying a soft fragrance.
After a moment of calm, the man casually looked away, no longer staring at her with that aggressive gaze.
Zhou Ji rubbed his temples; he didn't like being so out of control.
He still insisted that he could never like Jiang Yue.
After regaining his senses, the man said in a hoarse voice:
"What did you say?"
"Zhou Ji, don't push your luck!!!"
Well, how dare you so blatantly pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of her!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Zhou Ji could tell that she seemed quite angry, although he didn't understand why she was so angry.
However, he always pursued efficiency in handling Jiang Yue's affairs.
Try not to waste time arguing with her.
"Don't be angry. I'll have Assistant Shen buy you a plane ticket to Hong Kong for Zhang Fei. We can go to the auction tomorrow and bid on a few more pieces of jewelry that you like."
Jiang Yue felt that Zhou Ji seemed to be coaxing her.
Or is he trying to appease her anger with money?
Fine, for the sake of money, Jiang Yue could barely accept his flattery.
But Jiang Yue wasn't so easily satisfied: "Isn't it a private jet?"
She's a princess; she can't stand hardship and always wants the best of everything.
Fearing that Zhou Ji wouldn't be able to meet her demands, Jiang Yue then said without changing her expression, "A man who can't afford to let his wife travel on a private jet is undoubtedly a failure."
Zhou Ji, the failed man: ?
Zhou Ji, a failed man: Ha.
The man was genuinely surprised that she would bring this up. It seemed she had come to her senses and was no longer willing to pretend to be a virtuous wife and loving mother in front of him, finally willing to take off her mask.
There's really nothing wrong with admitting you're vain.
She used to be a vain and pleasure-seeking person, but she insisted on pretending to be virtuous, innocent, and pure in front of him, which made him even more disgusted.
Her current open and honest love for money is actually quite appealing.
"Understood, Mrs. Zhou. I'll have someone arrange it."
Jiang Yue tolerated the title "Mrs. Zhou" because of the private jet.
She said, "That's what you should do."
