Jiang Ye snapped out of his reverie, a faint milky scent lingering around his nose.
While he was distracted, Mu Tiantian put the necklace on him.
Her fair, delicate neck was right in front of him, and the milky scent emanating from her body was irresistibly alluring to him.
Just as Mu Tiantian put on the mask and reached her hand back, he grabbed her arm tightly.
"What exactly do you want? Why did you suddenly come back? Why did you give me this necklace? Are you trying to play with me?" Jiang Ye tightened his grip slightly, and Mu Tiantian's porcelain-white arm began to turn red.
A slight pain came from my arm.
"Because I love you." Her eyes were full of sincerity; she was speaking from the heart.
Jiang Ye pursed his lips, his eyes darkening slightly.
System: [Jiang Ye's hatred value decreased by 5, currently at 100.]
As soon as Mu Tiantian heard the notification from Qitong, Jiang Ye scooped her up in his arms.
He walked to the bedside and tossed her onto the soft, large bed.
Just as Mu Tiantian was about to sit up, Jiang Ye leaned down on her, his expression turning cold. "Love me? Don't disgust me. You want money, don't you? As long as you serve me well, I'll give you as much as you want."
He had always cherished her like a treasure, wanting to give her the most perfect wedding. He wanted to save their first time for their wedding night, and he had always been patient.
In the end, all I got in return was her heartless deception.
Mu Tiantian hooked her arms around his neck, raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips. "I said I don't want money, I only want you. I'm willing to do anything for you."
Jiang Ye looked into her clear, innocent eyes and felt a softening in his heart.
He told himself that he couldn't be soft-hearted and that he had to thoroughly humiliate this woman.
He reached out and grabbed her throat tightly. If he used his large hand, he would definitely strangle her to death.
"Would you do anything?" Jiang Ye lifted her chin with his other hand. "No regrets?"
"My only regret is hurting you." Her voice was still as sweet as ever, bewitching him like a fairy.
Jiang Ye paused, trying to calm himself, and said coldly, "What if I wanted to kill you?"
Mu Tiantian's heart pounded; things had already come to this point.
She simply closed her eyes. "If you want to."
System: [His hatred level is still 100. Don't act impulsively; he might actually do it.]
Mu Tiantian did not answer, but lay quietly on the bed.
Seeing his helpless expression made Jiang Ye's throat move slightly, and a surge of restless and agitated emotions welled up within him.
His eyes reddened.
System: [Oh my god, Jiang Ye...]
Before Qi Tong could finish speaking, Jiang Ye kissed Mu Tiantian's red lips wildly and fiercely, kissing her like a wolf.
System: [...] I was overthinking it.
Mu Tiantian felt his roughness; his kisses were not as gentle as before.
A night of madness.
When Mu Tiantian woke up, she felt sore all over, especially her waist.
She shifted her body and felt something heavy pressing down on her back.
She turned her head, and Jiang Ye wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. His long eyelashes were calm, his breathing steady, and a faint smile played on his lips.
She looks like she's sleeping peacefully.
Mu Tiantian shifted her body, and Jiang Ye frowned slightly. He tightened his arms around her, feeling at ease only when he could feel someone in his arms and smell their familiar scent.
System: [Jiang Ye's hatred value decreased by 30, currently at 70.]
Mu Tiantian breathed a long sigh of relief.
System: [You're incredibly brave. What if he actually strangled you to death?]
Mu Tiantian: [My intuition tells me he won't; I guessed right.]
Mu Tiantian quietly turned over and placed her hand on his waist. When she saw his eyelids twitch slightly, she quickly closed her eyes.
Jiang Ye opened his eyes and saw familiar faces, which put his mind at ease.
Jiang Ye, you've really gone mad, he cursed himself inwardly.
He sat up gently, trying not to wake her.
When Jiang Ye went downstairs, he saw Aunt Wang making lunch.
"Young Master, you're awake." This was the first time she had ever seen the young master get up so late.
Jiang Ye straightened his tie. "Aunt Wang, could I trouble you with something?"
"Young Master, you're too kind. It's no trouble at all." She had watched the young master grow up; it was too much of a formality to ask if it was troublesome.
"Please keep an eye on her for me. Just let me know where she goes and who she meets."
Aunt Wang naturally understood the young master's description of her, but she couldn't comprehend it.
Aunt Wang was about to speak when Jiang Ye interrupted her, "Aunt Wang, is it alright?"
"Okay." Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Aunt Wang didn't ask any more questions and put the steamed buns in front of him. "Have some."
Jiang Ye smiled, took one, and left the villa.
Aunt Wang glanced at his departing figure; the young master seemed much happier.
Jiang Ye went to the company and looked through the assessment of You Lian that Lina had sent him.
With You Lian's abilities, she can indeed generate revenue for the company. Even the usually demanding Lina thinks You Lian is quite good.
Jiang Ye decided to meet You Lian. As long as her resume and experience, as well as her understanding of the company during her year of internship, were satisfactory, he would agree to let her join the company.
He arranged a time with Lina to meet You Lian.
Jiang Ye didn't have a deep impression of You Lian. They went to the same university and met through Chu Ran.
He later learned that she had been interning at the company. The interns in the R&D department were managed by Lina, and he would only see her when she became a full-time employee. That's why he didn't know You Lian.
Because You Lian had financial problems, she often worked part-time. However, Jiang Ye knew about this and increased her internship salary. After all, he would never mistreat an employee who could bring effective revenue to the company.
However, she was still working part-time at the bar he frequented, but this was outside his jurisdiction, so he never paid any attention to You Lian.
Until yesterday, when You Lian and Mu Tiantian had a fight, he heard You Lian say that she felt very bad, so he didn't want to see You Lian at that time.
Jiang Ye found it laughable that Mu Tiantian could so easily sway his emotions.
"Mr. Jiang, is there anything I can do for you this morning?" Wu Jie had made countless phone calls to Jiang Ye all morning.
After all, this was the first time President Jiang had been late, and his phone remained switched off the entire time.
"Yes, it's important." Jiang Ye was busy 'exercising' in the morning, and immediately turned off his phone after hearing it ring.
"What about the marketing department's meeting..."
"Let's reschedule."
"Yes." After Wu Jie finished speaking, he left the office and saw Mu Chen and Chu Hao walking quickly towards him as soon as he opened the door.
"Mr. Mu, Young Master Chu," Wu Jie greeted them.
"Assistant Wu."
The two nodded to him, then opened the door and went inside, their expressions solemn.
Wu Jie was puzzled as to why these two were acting so aggressively; it seemed to be a personal matter.
His assistant shouldn't be too gossipy.
Mu Chen and Chu Hao casually picked up chairs from the side and sat opposite Jiang Ye, their faces serious.
