Chapter 40 "A bowl of wontons is all you need to calm me down?"

But Jin Ye did not meet Wei Liangchen immediately, as Adjutant Shen said he had something to do and would not meet him.

Jin Ye wanted to turn around and leave, but there was a possibility that he would die a more miserable death, so he had no choice but to wait obediently.

After a quarter of an hour, he still hadn't "summoned" her. Jin Ye felt that not only the wontons were getting cold, but she was also getting cold. She couldn't help but knock on the study door.

After a while, there was a response: "Come in."

Jin Ye went in and found that he was not busy at all, but was just resting with his eyes closed. He was deliberately ignoring her and did not open his eyes even when she came in.

She secretly criticized him a thousand times.

"What's up?"

The situation was stronger than the person, Jin Ye forced out a business smile, "Are you hungry, brother? I cooked something for you."

Wei Liangchen finally opened his eyes and stopped leaning against the sofa. He sat up straight, legs apart, and his eyes were darker than the night outside. They were gloomy and deep as he stared at her.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing her standing there respectfully, and dressed in that outfit, the little mole at the end of his eye suddenly jumped, and he laughed, "Is today your birthday?"

Although he looked happy, his eyes were actually gleaming with a cold light that was so real that it made people shudder.

There was still more than half a month before Jin Ye's birthday. She knew he was deliberately mocking her, so she tried her best to calm down and put the food basket on the coffee table. "I made wontons with pork and mushroom fillings, which my second brother likes."

He looks well-behaved, sensible and extremely gentle.

Wei Liangchen smiled again, "The sun rises from the west? You still know that I like to eat this stuffing. Is it poisonous?"

The tone was full of sarcasm.

"Then don't eat it." Jin Ye said stiffly.

"Come back!"

She turned around again and said, "In addition to the wontons, there are three other side dishes you like."

Jin Ye spread out the food one by one like Kong Yiji selling his copper coins.

Wei Liangchen's eyes darkened.

Jin Ye sat down next to him and handed him chopsticks, as if offering incense, "Second brother, please enjoy your meal."

Wei Liangchen fixed his eyes on her face, rolled his hair back and forth, and smiled, "Did you really wrap it yourself?"

"Of course it is real. It's absolutely true."

"So kind?" Wei Liangchen smiled, "Have you done anything to let me down?"

The fragrance in Jinye's hand, ugh, the chopsticks almost fell to the ground.

"It seems to be true." Wei Liangchen suddenly reached out and touched the pink rose in her hair, and his big hand fell on her neck.

Jin Ye's breathing stagnated, "I admit, I did something wrong this time."

The atmosphere is too scary. No matter what, just confess.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Wei Liangchen stroked the back of her neck with his thin fingertips. Although he was still smiling, the anger in his body was enough to burn everything if more fuel was added.

Jin Ye swallowed reflexively, "I shouldn't have disclosed the news to Yun Qing."

This time, the matter is not like the previous minor fights. Wei Liangchen must have a backup plan for the Ningtuzhen matter. He doesn't like others interfering with his plans on major matters.

Moreover, he felt that he was biased towards Zhou Siwei and not on his side, and that he was a traitor, which was the most serious thing.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, I shouldn't have eavesdropped on your conversation with Qi Yuan."

"What else?"

Jin Ye raised his head, his attitude was sincere, "I shouldn't have gone to Zhou Siwei during class time. I deserved to meet Yun Qing."

Once he checked, he knew that she had been to Zhou Mansion and there was no way she could hide it.

"Anything else?"

"...I shouldn't have been so greedy and afraid of death. After Yun Qing caught me, I was too afraid that the smoker would torture me, so I told him the news about Tu Yan to buy time. I should have refused to surrender and bit my tongue to commit suicide!"

Looking at his fearless and righteous look, it would be a shame if he didn't go into acting.

Wei Liangchen's mouth twitched, and he felt annoyed. "Anything else?"

Ah, what else? Jin Ye thought for a moment and said, "No more."

Then, she heard Wei Liangchen snort coldly, and suddenly grabbed her arm and pressed her against the back of the sofa.

Jin Ye was stunned.

Wei Liangchen's dark and cold eyes were right in front of her. "Xu Jinye, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Why did you go to find Zhou Siwei? Did you want to tell him that I wanted to harm him with those batches of local cigarettes so that he could get away with it?"

Jin Ye's heart was beating wildly, faster and faster.

"In order to tell him the news, you avoided Lao Zhang and even skipped classes!" Wei Liangchen's forehead was bulging with veins.

This heartless kid has never skipped classes for him. "What good things did Zhou Siwei promise you? Why do you protect him like this?"

The corners of his eyes were red, his pupils were dark and bottomless, and his gaze seemed to see into her heart, which stirred Jin Ye's heart violently.

Of course, she couldn't let anyone know that Zhou Siwei was going to take her and her aunt to Hong Kong Island.

"Speak!"

"I..." Jin Ye's heart was beating fast. This guy was really hard to deal with. If she had known earlier, she should have signed up for an acting training class or something.

She looked at him with a bit of pity in her eyes, "Second brother..."

Wei Liangchen held her hand tightly, his eyes suddenly darkening, "It's no use being coquettish, don't even think about getting away with it!"

She didn't put on much makeup, and her delicate skin looked like water could be squeezed out of it. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and her trembling eyelashes were hung with drops of water that were about to drip. Any man who saw her would be softened.

Jin Ye only felt the heat from his palms that made her soul tremble.

"It's because when Zhang Zhilin was arrested last time, Zhou Siwei came to help me without saying a word. Also, he helped me with my uncle's matter. I wanted to repay him, so I did this."

Wei Liangchen's eyes flickered, and he sneered, "That's great, but it's all his credit?"

Jin Ye thought: That's all thanks to you. Not only did you not help me, but you also added insult to injury.

"But he really has this intention, and he has been very nice to me during this period," she said.

"Have I been bad to you? Why don't you repay me?"

Those eyes were dark and fierce as if a beast was about to rush out, as if he would swallow her up in one gulp in the next moment.

Jin Ye's heart shuddered, but at the same time, the fire in his heart could not be suppressed and burst out, "Why didn't I repay you? Was I bitten by a dog that year?"

He was stunned, his eyes widened, "You said I'm a dog?"

At this moment, Jin Ye felt the grievance in her heart suddenly surge up like a tide, rushing through her throat.

"Then why did you go against Zhou Siwei and not let me marry him? He helped me before, and I couldn't bear to see him get hurt by you. What's wrong with that? You are the only one allowed to hurt people, and I am not allowed to save them."

Wei Liangchen was stunned again, "Oh, you are right!"

"Does it make you right to harm others? Also, when I was kidnapped by Yun Qing, you don't know how scared I was. I was afraid that Yun Qing would torture me. In order to protect myself, I wanted to use this incident to buy time. Do you think I should rather die than surrender and bite my tongue to commit suicide?" Jin Ye said with tears in his eyes.

Wei Liangchen looked at her angry and helpless expression, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by something. The rage that was about to burst into the sky was half extinguished in an instant, "When did I ever tell you to bite your tongue? I will save you even if I want you to die!"

"Xu Jinye, you are a heartless person." He added.

"If I had no conscience, I wouldn't cook for you."

"A bowl of wontons is all you want to make me calm down?"

"So what do you want?" Seeing his eyelids twitching and the veins on the back of his hands bulging, Jin Ye was a little scared and didn't dare to anger him again.

"There is another reason why I dared to reveal the news to Yun Qing. That night I heard you say that Ning Tuzhen had already paid for the goods, so he must be reluctant to part with them, so you will still catch him. I decided to do this because I thought that I could protect myself and help Zhou Siwei without ruining your plans."

She really thought so at the time.

Wei Liangchen snorted coldly, "How do you know what big thing I'm going to do?"

"I don't know, but I think my second brother always does things one step at a time, so he must have a back-up plan."

"You make it sound like you know me very well." Although his tone was still fierce, his expression was much softer and he let go of her.

Her skin was fair and thin, and glaring red marks immediately appeared on her arms.

Wei Liangchen rubbed it, and she dodged backwards. He was about to get angry again, but suddenly he saw a circle of tape wrapped around her left index finger. His eyes narrowed, and anger flashed between his brows, "How did you get hurt?"
