Chapter 78 Jealousy
◎Why do you never want to look at other men when you're with him?
jealous
Jiang Mingzhuo raised an eyebrow, a sinister and menacing smile creeping onto his otherwise indifferent expression: "Who dares to be so bold as to seduce you, Xie Yong?"
A thin layer of chill suddenly settled over my heart.
I can't quite describe the feeling, but I sensed something subtly strange.
Why are both Jiang Zhao in the dream and Jiang Mingzhuo in reality so concerned about Xie Yong?
I've only met Xie Yong twice, but they seem to talk about that man all the time, as if I'm bound to cheat on them.
To be fair, although Xie Yong is an extremely handsome man, he still has that air of nobility and arrogance from his wealthy background, which is comparable to Jiang Zhao's. However, he is not the gentle and charming type that I like.
However, prolonged silence is tantamount to tacit agreement.
Jiang Mingzhuo's breathing became heavy at some point, and his eyes turned slightly red from trying so hard to hold back his tears.
In that instant, a strange sense of pleasure arose in my heart.
It would make me happier to see Jiang Mingzhuo in pain, suspicious, and wanting to kill him...
No, this thought is too creepy. Isn't he the person I'm dating? I couldn't help but shudder at the thought that was creeping onto me.
"I'll ask you one more time, is it Xie Yong?" Jiang Mingzhuo lifted my chin.
I felt his cold, piercing gaze fixed on me, so I could only mumble, "Please don't do this..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhuo smiled.
My words seemed to strip away his gentle and elegant side, stimulating his hidden dark emotions: "When you were with him, why did you never want to look at other men? But when you were with me, you couldn't help but cheat on me?"
he?
Who is it?
Something suddenly flashed through my mind.
A gentle and refined man.
It disappeared in an instant, so fast that I couldn't catch it at all.
"Mingzhuo!" I couldn't help but whisper, but I couldn't stop him at all.
My waist was pressed down by a large hand, and I couldn't help but tremble. Jiang Mingzhuo looked down at me and smiled, letting me see the dark and possessive desire deep in his heart.
"You like him that much, huh?"
I was forced to kneel on the sofa.
Jiang Mingzhuo pressed me with questions, one by one, before grabbing my neck from behind.
Actually, I could have just told him that I love him. All I had to do was give him a gentle kiss, and he would have been pulled out of his madness and returned to the noble young man who makes my heart flutter.
I refused to speak, and Jiang Mingzhuo's thin lips pressed against my ear, "Xiao Fu, I like you so much, and you like me too, so why do you still want to go out? Haven't I told you many times that as long as you behave... we will definitely be happy? Why do you always have to defy me?"
He wrapped one arm around my waist, and no matter how I pushed him away, my pure cotton panties were pushed aside. He was kissing me, but I knew that my body had already exceeded its capacity these past few days, and I could not possibly accept another intense lovemaking session with him.
"Mingzhuo, I swear, it was him who seduced me, not Xie Yong, just a man I met by chance at the police station." I knew that no matter how fiercely I resisted, I would only suffer.
Half-truthfully, I explained to him, "I've felt like I've been followed these past few days, Mingzhuo. I didn't want you to worry, so I was thinking of calling the police, and then I ran into that man. I just thanked him. Nothing happened between us, and nothing will happen. I rejected him..."
As his tone softened, Jiang Mingzhuo stopped his frantic movements.
He nestled against my neck, closed his eyes, and calmed down.
“Promise me, Xiao Fu,” Jiang Mingzhuo said, “you will never see any other man, you will never betray me, you will always love me, and we will be together forever.”
My shoulders trembled slightly, feeling weak and vulnerable. "Mmm."
"If there's a next time, do you want to continue being the Jiang family's sandwich filling?" Jiang Mingzhuo's dark eyes lowered.
"Maybe my brother is right." He gently kissed my face and pulled me into his arms.
That night, Jiang Mingzhuo held me close and whispered, "I'll take care of the stalking for you. And about your mother, I'm sorry, I just hope you'll rely on me a little more and tell me everything, Xiao Fu."
I coughed softly a few times, responded vaguely to him, and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, I habitually wanted to drink water, but I was already being held up and warm water was being fed to me from my lips. I could even feel the warmth on my cheeks.
"How can we go back to the past, Xiao Fu..."
I was quite certain that Jiang Mingzhuo loved me, and at the same time, he also hated my habit of "eating takeout." Caught between these complex feelings of love and hate, I was taken aback.
Along with the man's sigh, Jiang Mingzhuo cried.
I felt a subtle flickering in my vision, and I drifted back into a dream. In the dream, I was wearing a gray uniform, hunched over a table, diligently memorizing exam questions. I wanted to get into a university abroad.
Jiang Mingzhuo was sitting on the sofa in front of me. He was hiding his face with a book and looking at me with a smile.
"Xiao Fu, you're too tired. Take a rest, okay?" Jiang Mingzhuo was much more refined and innocent in his dream than he is now. Back then, he had not yet fully grown into the elegant and handsome young nobleman he is now. Instead, he was completely elegant and beautiful. Even though his tone was gentle and full of love, he was still at the top of the food chain, majestic and awe-inspiring.
I lowered my head and obediently listened to him.
Jiang Mingzhuo took the orange juice from the maid. After I finished drinking it, he half-forced and half-coaxed me to the bed, where we exercised and rested at the same time.
Suddenly, I was back in the classroom at school, and I saw several students quietly stealing the notes that Jiang Mingzhuo had specially made for me from my bag...
“This was given to Jiang Fu by Jiang Mingzhuo. I saw him telling her in the library that the contents of the notes were almost identical to those in this exam.”
"Really? Jiang Mingzhuo is the top student in the school..."
They were whispering among themselves.
The exam is over, and unsurprisingly, I failed again.
Just as I was feeling frustrated, those students rushed up to me. They were both boys and girls, and they looked excited and agitated. They pointed at my face and said, "Did you do this on purpose? You knew we wanted to take Jiang Mingzhuo's things, so you deliberately gave us the wrong answers. You copied these notes, and I failed the test!"
My face turned pale instantly.
Jiang Mingzhuo gave me incorrect notes and answers that were completely wrong.
No matter how hard I try, I could never get excellent grades. If these students hadn't exposed me, how much longer would I have been fooled?
"Have you said enough?"
Jiang Mingzhuo's voice was cold and aloof, and no one dared to look up at him.
He appeared again. Jiang Mingzhuo was filled with a desire for control, always paying extra attention to the people and things around me, and always able to detect any abnormalities immediately. He walked down the stairs, and a malicious smile suddenly appeared on his cold yet refined face.
Next, I fought him with all my might.
"Why, Jiang Mingzhuo!"
"Why did you do this? I love you so much, I trust you so much, yet you resort to any means to keep me by your side..."
He grabbed my chin and, in front of all our classmates, lowered his head and silenced me with a kiss. In doing so, he once again declared our relationship to everyone. He only released me when I felt suffocated, and said softly, "Xiao Fu, what can you do without me? You'd better just stay here and be taken care of by me. It's best not to run around."
I felt a sharp pain constricting my chest, and my hands and feet were both sore and numb. When I woke up, the kitten lying on the headboard of my bed suddenly let out a soft meow.
It was the kitten I found that day. The kitten had gone from being dirty to being clean and soft, with fluffy fur. It wasn't afraid of strangers, and when it saw me blinking, it came over and licked my cheek.
"Meow~" It meowed softly at me again. It was clear that Jiang Mingzhuo was taking good care of it.
I picked it up and walked out of the bedroom.
Jiang Mingzhuo was leaning quietly against the sofa, his sharp bone structure and indifferent profile.
He was playing with a cigarette in his hand, not smoking it. Even after all this time, I could still feel that unapproachable distance from him, a coldness built on wealth and arrogance etched into his bones.
The kitten clearly recognized its owner: "Meow, meow~"
He turned his head and smiled, "Bella."
I think that's the kitten's name.
Holding the kitten, I walked over to him and said, "Why did you bring your pet to the apartment? Don't you know the landlady will be angry?"
“Xiao Fu, she won’t mind.” Jiang Mingzhuo stood up, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he slowly said, “Yesterday, I was too hasty and my attitude towards you was so bad, so I brought Bella here to apologize to you.”
Jiang Mingzhuo used his fair and slender fingers to hook the kitten's chin.
Seeing him so well-dressed, handsome, and gentle, I felt a strong sense of disconnect. I handed him the kitten, saying, "Okay, you play with it first, I'll go make breakfast."
I turned around and went into the kitchen. I skillfully opened the refrigerator, which contained some fruit that was about to expire and some semi-finished products. I took them out and quickly made a blueberry mousse cake, which I put in the oven. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jiang Mingzhuo playing with the kitten. I quietly threw the sleeping pills that I was clutching into the juicer.
The blades inside the machine spun wildly, and in no time, the white powder was covered by the juice.
I only regret being discovered by Jiang Mingzhuo, not all my actions.
I never actually promised him that I would never have any contact with any man again.
I am very curious about Xie Yong, who is both in my dreams and in reality, and I have already memorized the string of numbers he left me before he left.
"Aren't you tired of eating cake in the morning?" Jiang Mingzhuo suddenly hugged me tightly from behind.
An indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.
My throat was dry, and my voice was weak: "These things are about to expire, it would be a waste not to do something with them."
"Have a glass of blueberry juice first." I turned around and handed it to him, my fingers trembling. He glanced down at it, smiled slightly, nodded without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp.
I smiled and served the grilled sandwiches. Jiang Mingzhuo ate them elegantly and slowly, showing no signs of the drugs affecting him.
Sweat trickled down my chin and slowly dripped onto the ground.
After breakfast, I went to wash the dishes. Jiang Mingzhuo pressed his temples impatiently, and I asked with feigned concern, "What's wrong? You look terrible. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Maybe." He tapped his fingers on the table intermittently, but the force was getting weaker and weaker.
I helped him up. "Mingzhuo, go to the bedroom and get some sleep. I'll stay with you."
Jiang Mingzhuo nodded at me.
After he lay down, I sat on the edge of the bed. The kitten was quietly curled up in the corner of the bed. Jiang Mingzhuo suddenly grabbed my hand. "Xiao Fu, it's my fault. I didn't control my emotions and scared you."
He spoke to me in an exceptionally gentle voice, which was strangely alluring.
Jiang Mingzhuo's appearance is very deceptive. His features are handsome and refined, and once his eyes soften, their sharpness disappears, and he appears gentle and affectionate.
I nodded. Jiang Mingzhuo's love was clearly pathological, accompanied by control, destruction, and possessiveness. I looked directly into his beautiful eyes, placed a kiss on his lips, and smiled gently: "Sleep, Mingzhuo, I'll always be by your side..."
A few minutes later, he closed his eyes, and when I heard his steady breathing, I finally felt relieved and withdrew my hand. I got up and left the apartment without looking back.
The effects of the medicine last for more than four hours, which is enough.
-
When the door creaked open, Jiang Mingzhuo, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
He paused for a couple of seconds, then lowered his eyes and smiled silently.
But his eyes were icy cold.
"Young Master, I saw Miss Xiao Fu go out. Should we continue to follow her?" On the other end of the phone, the person responsible for monitoring Jiang Fu's life politely asked him.
Jiang Mingzhuo thought of last night. Her throat was dry, and she looked at him with a wronged expression, but she refused to admit defeat.
Hold on tighter, or it might really get away...
Jiang Mingzhuo closed his eyes in pain.
"Young Master?"
"No need, I know where she went. You should all rest today." Jiang Mingzhuo seemed very clear-headed when he said this, his tone was calm.
Only when the phone is disconnected can he see his pale face.
For a moment, Jiang Mingzhuo even considered giving up.
She lost all her memories, but retained only her initial attraction to him. No matter where they met, she would show that cute and innocent expression for his face. Jiang Mingzhuo thought that this was the end of it, so he turned a blind eye to all her behavior, stopped controlling her and monitoring her, and slowly gave her freedom.
But sooner or later she will meet other men and abandon him again.
But when she was with that ordinary, poor man who was so ordinary you could easily spot him in a crowd, she never... would even glance at the men outside.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingzhuo was in extreme pain. He tried his best to control the effects of the drug on himself, but jealousy and resentment were gnawing at his heart, causing him great suffering.
On that handsome face, the perfect mask seemed to be slowly collapsing and peeling away, revealing his beautiful and proud features in extreme distortion. Jiang Mingzhuo suddenly threw off the covers, got up, and got out of bed.
He couldn't accept all of Jiang Zhao's men like she did.
She is his, forever.
[Author's Note]
