Jiang Xichen couldn't help but feel cold all over when he looked at her like that.
The ambition was like a bulging balloon that deflated silently and deflated in an instant.
Yu Yanzhou only looked at her for a brief moment before returning his attention to the book in his hand.
But Jiang Xichen, who was ignored by him again, didn't have the courage to pretend that he didn't exist.
Standing frozen on the spot for a moment, she slowly moved her legs and walked back to Yu Yanzhou.
He spoke in a low voice, showing weakness when he spoke: "Mr. Yu, if you help others, just help them to the end."
Jiang Xichen silently put the check tightly in his palm back in front of Yu Yanzhou.
It was just right, placed on the page of his book, blocking his reading eyes.
Yu Yanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Jiang Xichen, his eyes once again filled with the same amusement as if he were looking at a small toy.
"What did you call me?"
Jiang Xichen fiddled with the strap of her skirt and looked at him silently, with the same gaze and similar situation.
But she could no longer throw a glass of water in his face as boldly as the first time, and continued to be incompetent and furious.
Growth sometimes comes slowly. The Jiang family's more than 20 years only raised her from a child to a grown-up child.
Sometimes it comes very quickly, so unexpectedly, without any chance of preparation, that it suddenly grows up.
In the adult world, you can't do whatever you want, you have to learn to be conciliatory.
Under Yu Yanzhou's gaze, Jiang Xichen moved closer to him again, tentatively pinched his cuff with two fingers, and shook it slightly.
Showing weakness, he changed his words: "Brother Zhou."
She had a very cute face, her round eyes were droopy, full of innocence, she relaxed her figure a little, and she looked like she was acting coquettishly.
Yu Yanzhou stared at her with a scrutinizing gaze for a while, then stretched out his hand and clasped Jiang Xichen's weak hand in his palm.
When he was held in his arms again, Jiang Xichen was more submissive than the last time.
She was no longer as stiff as a fossil, and even cooperated a lot, with her long legs actively rubbing against his waist.
When Yu Yanzhou kissed her, what was on her mind was no longer disgust or resistance.
What Jiang Xichen was thinking about was, if Yu Yanzhou got interested and wanted to do things directly, how likely would it be for her to cooperate even though she was injured, and the injury would be compounded.
Her absent-mindedness was naturally noticed by Yu Yanzhou.
So he quickly let go and rubbed Jiang Xichen's body with his palms with a hint of punishment.
Jiang Xichen's heart sank. Sure enough, he...
Yu Yanzhou didn't do anything else. He just held her in his arms and read in the study.
Jiang Xichen leaned stiffly in his arms, not daring to breathe too hard, and waited for who knows how long.
He didn't do anything else until the housekeeper came and knocked on the door.
"Sir, dinner is ready. You can go to the restaurant to eat."
Jiang Xichen remained motionless, with a confused look in his eyes like a rabbit whose ears had been pinched. He was very good.
Yu Yanzhou patted her leg, and Jiang Xichen stood up from his arms. While Yu Yanzhou stood up, he straightened the folds on his body that were pressed by her.
The check on the side came into view. He picked it up and asked Jiang Xichen, "Do you still want it?"
Jiang Xichen shook her head like a rattle, and her self-confidence was like a small tree in winter that lost all its leaves after being beaten by Yu Yanzhou.
Yu Yanzhou leisurely tore the check into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
Jiang Xichen bit her lip and watched his movements. When he was about to walk to the door, she mustered up the courage to ask:
"Things about my family..."
What Yu Yanzhou left her with was a silhouette of his back, without stopping or looking back.
"You said I keep my integrity, so I won't lie to you."
Behind him, Jiang Xichen let out a long sigh of relief.
