Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Zhiwei, who then realized she had said the wrong thing. Just as she was about to apologize, Jiang Jianian interrupted her and whispered, "Am I not stupid enough in front of you?"
Ye Zhiwei initially thought Jiang Jianian was upset because of her words, and hurriedly tried to explain. However, Jiang Jianian stared at her and moved closer to her, confessing with his head down in an intimate distance, "None of that matters to me. You can take whatever you need. I will do whatever you want me to do. In exchange, give yourself to me, Ye Zhiwei."
Ye Zhiwei tightened her grip and looked at Jiang Jianian. Their eyes met, and the feeling was very different from before.
Before knowing these things, Ye Zhiwei was afraid of him. Whenever his gaze fell on her, she would immediately want to look away. Occasionally, when their eyes met, she would reflect on what she had done wrong. Only now did Ye Zhiwei realize that although he might be cold and indifferent to others, without any warmth or emotion, the look he gave her was the most tender moment of his life.
Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but reach out to touch Jiang Jianian, but before she could, Jiang Jianian took her hand in his and placed it over his heart. Looking at her, Jiang Jianian told her word by word, "I don't want anything else, I just want you."
The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
Bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang.
Feeling Jiang Jianian's heartbeat in her hand, and with her own heart pounding violently in her chest, Ye Zhiwei's mind went blank. When she finally came to her senses and tried to respond to Jiang Jianian's words, the glass door of the balcony seemed to have been hit by something, making a loud noise.
Ye Zhiwei turned her head and saw—
Ji Shuli was standing outside the glass door at some point, pressed against it, his face contorted in astonishment. He looked as if he were watching a heart-wrenching idol drama, tears welling up in his eyes. "Little cousin," he said, "although I really want to see you two continue to be all lovey-dovey, you really need to hurry up and sign the contract. Your uncle and I are going back this afternoon. We have things to do at the company, and I have an important class tonight. If I keep skipping, I might fail my final exams. I'm almost graduating, and I really can't afford to fail again."
Startled, Ye Zhiwei pulled her hand away from Jiang Jianian, turned around abruptly, and nervously tucked her hair behind her ear, her entire ear turning red with shame.
What did she do?
What did she and Jiang Jianian do in front of Ji Shuli?
Moreover, judging from Ji Shuli's appearance, it doesn't seem like he just arrived. When exactly did this wretched cousin get here?
Ye Zhiwei dared not face Ji Shuli again, while Jiang Jianian looked at Ji Shuli expressionlessly, his gaze so cold that Ji Shuli trembled from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Shuli immediately lied through her teeth: "I really didn't hear much. I just came over and saw you two looking at each other affectionately. If my uncle hadn't asked me to come and urge you, I wouldn't have wanted to come and witness your lovey-dovey behavior."
Seeing that Ye Zhiwei remained silent, Ji Shuli opened the glass door to the balcony and continued to explain to her sincerely, "Little cousin, you have to believe me. Your cousin really didn't see much. Besides, your cousin loves you so much. Even if I don't want you to be snatched away by that scoundrel Jiang Jianian so quickly, I'll still support you if you like him. Moreover, your cousin is rich and foolish, so I can definitely give you financial support when you're dating!"
Ye Zhiwei became even more furious after hearing Ji Shuli's words. She pushed Ji Shuli away and ran towards the hall without even glancing at him.
"Why is my little cousin ignoring me? Little Jiang—" Ji Shuli turned around, wanting to say a few words to Jiang Jianian, but because Jiang Jianian's gaze was too sinister and cold, she swallowed her words and didn't say anything.
Jiang Jianian didn't say a word either, turned around and left the balcony, walking towards the hall.
Only Ji Shuli remained, standing alone and forlorn on the balcony.
