At this moment, he had gradually calmed down from his previous rage, and his rationality began to return. However, the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated; he was simply suppressing it.
He thought to himself: If she admits it's only for the money, maybe I'll feel better. But if there's another reason, I definitely won't let her go.
Seeing Ji Zhuo's expression, Lin Xihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Dr. Ye was innocent, and she had to rescue him from this mess first.
She felt that her image in Ji Zhuo's mind was probably already terrible, so she decided to go all out and make Ji Zhuo see her selfish side, preferably angering him so that he would storm off on the spot.
“At first I thought you had amnesia, and you didn’t know your own background. What if you regained your memory and just left? What would I do? Yesterday… I learned about your identity yesterday and thought you were still rich. Today I was going to tell Doctor Ye that we wouldn’t have any more contact, but who knew you would follow me.” Lin Xihe raised her head, looked directly into Ji Zhuo’s eyes, and said with feigned composure.
"You know my identity, so you chose me? And then you severed ties with that doctor?" Ji Zhuo frowned slightly, a strange glint in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm attracted to your high status and how good you are to me. Doctor Ye is naturally no match for you. That's just the kind of person I am; I'll be with whoever makes me feel good. Now you see through me and are disappointed in me?" Lin Xihe raised her chin, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation and indifference, deliberately portraying herself as extremely mercenary.
"I really want to open your head and see what's inside." Ji Zhuo gritted his teeth in anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly. He simply couldn't understand Lin Xihe's behavior.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xihe immediately covered her head with the blanket, leaving only her face showing.
"You are so high and mighty, while I am but a speck of dust. You are such a handsome, dashing, and noble young master from a distinguished family, can you please not hold me against me? Please let me go." Her voice was somewhat delicate and pitiful, but her words made one's teeth itch with hatred.
Lin Xihe continued, "A young master like you, what kind of woman can't you find? Meeting me is just bad luck for you, okay?"
But inwardly he thought: "I'm the one who's unlucky, you lousy system! ***** System!"
"Since you know how good I am, why don't you cherish me?!" Ji Zhuo crossed his arms, his brows furrowed, his face full of anger.
"I cherish it! I cherish it so much!" Lin Xihe raised her voice, pretending to be obsequious: "I know that no man can tolerate this kind of betrayal, let alone someone like you."
After Lin Xihe finished speaking, she thought to herself: Quick, let's go with the flow and turn around and leave!
After waiting for a while, Ji Zhuo asked, "Then why didn't you just find any place when you went to make things clear? Why did you specifically look for a private room?"
Lin Xihe was also a little confused. Why did Ji Zhuo's meaning seem a bit strange?
Why aren't you angry and leaving when you're already like this?
She secretly groaned inwardly, and decided to belittle herself even more so that Ji Zhuo would have no good feelings towards her at all.
"I love to eat! Someone invited me to dinner, and I couldn't resist. I'm planning to eat first and then talk about it later. I'll take whatever meal I can get away with."
"Where is your face, Lin Xihe!" Ji Zhuo stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief. He never expected Lin Xihe to say such a thing.
"You said you couldn't lie to me! Now that I'm not lying, you get angry. Since you get angry no matter what I say, then you shouldn't talk to me at all."
"I'm really speechless. How could I have ever fallen for you?" Ji Zhuo shook his head helplessly, feeling utterly defeated.
"Do you regret it?" Lin Xihe asked.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to strike while the iron is hot?
She stretched a hand out from under the covers and groped under the pillow, wanting to return the jade pendant to Ji Zhuo and ask him to leave now.
There was nothing under the pillow.
The jade pendant was also taken. This guy really searched his own house and left nothing behind.
Ji Zhuo watched Lin Xihe's actions and snorted coldly, "Hmph? Still eyeing my jade pendant?"
"Why do you have to be so thorough in plundering? Don't you understand the saying 'Leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future'?" Lin Xihe frowned and said angrily.
