Jiang Duoduo was not tall to begin with, and Ji Yue standing in front of her made her appear even smaller, as he enveloped and surrounded her.
Jiang Duoduo inhaled Ji Yue's scent, and the heat from his breath made her cheeks burn. She felt incredibly foolish for following Ji Yue out just to avoid her mother's anger.
Jiang Duoduo appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking terribly.
Waaah! How scary! What is Ji Yue trying to do?!
What should she do now?
Receiving no reply, Ji Yue calmly tilted his head slightly, glancing at Jiang Duoduo's face, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Hmm?"
A drawn-out "Mmm—" made Jiang Duoduo swallow hard, trying to appear calm, before saying in a composed tone, "You called me here just to say this?" She paused, then added, "Why should I need your permission?"
Jiang Duoduo's words reminded Ji Yue of the fact that Duoduo had changed, and his face darkened again. "Do you really want to go back?"
"Yes!" Especially at times like these, Jiang Duoduo had to keep herself in check. If she showed even the slightest bit of fear in front of Ji Yue, she might end up following the path of the original owner of this body.
To demonstrate her determination, Jiang Duoduo even added, "I plan to pack my things tonight and go stay at the Ye family's house for a few days tomorrow."
Ji Yue took a step back, his tone threatening, "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed!" Jiang Duoduo said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Even though there was a distance between him and Duoduo, Ji Yue still couldn’t bear to let Jiang Duoduo suffer in the countryside.
Jiang Duoduo was stunned!
Huh? What did Ji Yue say? He's going too?
Jiang Duoduo's eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and her body froze completely. She finally understood why she had felt such an ominous premonition the moment she saw Ji Yue appear in the living room.
Yes! How could Ji Yue appear so coincidentally? He must have known about this all along and had this idea planned out in advance.
“…Then I won’t go back to the Ye family.” Jiang Duoduo felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Duoduo's current unpredictable attitude left Ji Yue somewhat confused. "Duoduo, what's wrong with you lately? Why are you always sulking with me? What is it about me that you're unhappy with..."
Jiang Duoduo didn't suddenly distance herself from Ji Yue. In the two months since she came to this world, she gradually began to distance herself from Ji Yue.
Ji Yue had always felt that there was something strange about Duo Duo, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After a while, Jiang Duoduo, expressionless, figured out how to handle the current emergency. "I'm fine, and I'm not angry with you. I just suddenly don't want to go back to the Ye family. Brother Yue, you're overthinking it."
After a pause, Jiang Duoduo looked up at Ji Yue, revealing a perfect smile. Dimples bloomed on both sides of her cheeks, making her smile charming and beautiful. "I quite like who I am now, not relying on anyone. Isn't that good?"
Jiang Duoduo wanted to elicit silence from Ji Yue, but she underestimated her own charm.
How could Ji Yue, who cherished her like a treasure, remain silent? He took a step forward and pulled her into his arms, saying with utmost tenderness, "Duoduo can be an independent girl without relying on anyone, but in front of me, Duoduo doesn't need to be like that."
The moment Jiang Duoduo bumped into Ji Yue's firm chest muscles, her scalp tingled. Then, she slowly realized the situation and tried to break free from Ji Yue's embrace.
The soft, petite figure before him made Ji Yue unable to control himself and hug her even tighter, feeling her pressed against his ribs, rising and falling with her breath, his Adam's apple bobbing, "Duoduo..."
