If Su Ding were to severely harm the Jin family's beloved daughter, the Jin elders would never accept Su Ding, no matter what!
Thinking of this, Tang Yiyi's heart raced and her blood boiled.
If she really did this, Su Ding would have no chance to recover.
This was an excellent, once-and-for-all solution.
However, she would be letting down Miaomiao, letting down her childhood friend.
"Yiyi, why aren't you saying anything?" Jin Miaomiao asked, her throat dry from complaining.
Tang Yiyi was plotting when she heard her name and quickly replied, her conscience guilty, "I'm here, just thinking about something."
"Have you thought of a good way to deal with her!"
Jin Miaomiao became excited upon hearing this. She knew Yiyi was much smarter than her.
Facing Miaomiao, Tang Yiyi hesitated for a few seconds. But remembering the scene of Jin Ye and Su Ding kissing in the woods last time, she knew she couldn't be soft-hearted anymore!
"Mm, listen to me..."
...
Arriving at her doorstep, Su Ding turned around and looked at the man with a frown, "Go home."
Jin Ye looked at her calmly and said seriously, "It's past twelve, won't you consider letting me have a meal?"
"You have so many servants at home, why would you come to my place for a meal?"
Su Ding said impatiently, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Jin Ye followed closely, strode towards the living room, and for the first time, took a serious look at the house's decorations.
It was indeed her preferred style.
"How long have you been in Nan Jing?" Jin Ye asked softly.
Su Ding gave him a cool glance, walked into the kitchen, and while looking at the remaining ingredients, replied, "Probably earlier than you. I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to wait for you before, but you didn't come. A couple of days later, I moved to Nan Jing."
"I saw you that day."
Jin Ye followed her in. Seeing Su Ding take out tomatoes and vegetables, he naturally took the tomatoes from her hands, washed them clean, and diced them on the cutting board.
Seeing him help, Su Ding didn't snatch his work and started boiling water.
"Which day? I don't know what you're talking about," she said coldly, always in a listless state.
Sister Zhang had gone home for something at noon, and Xiao Xi and Tang Tang had been taken to the Jin family.
The spacious house suddenly felt empty, and she always felt a sense of loss and loneliness...
Jin Ye said slowly, "The day you went to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Su Ding took a few seconds to react, then suddenly turned around, her brows furrowed, and asked him unhappily, "You went too?"
Jin Ye nodded honestly, "Yes."
"So, you saw me waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but you didn't come over?"
Su Ding was both surprised and angry. Was this scoundrel out of his mind?
Seeing her waiting like an idiot at the door, he had come to watch the show.
Jin Ye pursed his lips, "I just happened to pass by to see if you really wanted a divorce. I didn't expect..."
Su Ding squinted at him, a blush of anger on her face.
"I didn't expect you, this woman, to be so heartless and fickle, divorcing just like that." Jin Ye said, no longer as angry as before, but still feeling a faint pain in his heart.
His words were spoken plainly and naturally, but the hurt from that time was unforgettable.
"You and Shao Lin had already made up, so I couldn't just go and be a mistress to break up your relationship."
Su Ding's expression became even more unsightly. She took two ham sausages from the refrigerator and threw them to Jin Ye, gesturing for him to slice them.
Jin Ye glanced at her, "Can I interpret this as you being jealous?"
"Jealous of what nonsense!" Su Ding suddenly got angry, glared at him, and retorted, her tone sarcastic, "After all, you and Shao Lin knew each other first. It's not my turn to be jealous."
Jin Ye became even more convinced that Su Ding was jealous, and his mood inexplicably became a little lighter.
But then he remembered Jiang Chu, who stood between them, and his expression darkened again, "It was Jiang Chu who instigated you to run away, wasn't it?"
"No."
Su Ding answered softly and started to stir-fry the tomatoes.
Seeing her expression, Jin Ye felt she had something to hide, but he didn't want to break this warm atmosphere yet.
"What were you calling about that day?" he asked.
"Calling?" Su Ding looked at Jin Ye with slight surprise and confusion, "What call?"
Jin Ye lowered his head to clean the stove and said, "That day at the Civil Affairs Bureau, after you left, why did you call me again?"
It was also because of this call that he was distracted while driving and got into an accident.
"I, I originally wanted to scold you."
A faint blush appeared on Su Ding's face, perhaps thinking her past actions were a bit childish. She explained awkwardly, "I waited for you that day but you didn't come, and my car broke down on the way back. In anger..."
"Oh." Jin Ye replied lightly.
That call back then had confused him and made him overthink. It seemed he had indeed fallen for her.
After cleaning the stove, he stood by the side watching Su Ding cook, no longer speaking, and not planning to tell her about the car accident.
"Did you get me the invitation for the yacht party?" Su Ding asked while stir-frying.
Jin Ye frowned and said slowly, "The organizers haven't sent it yet. It shouldn't be a problem. You're my wife, so the invitation isn't a big deal."
Su Ding felt relieved. "That's good."
She turned off the heat. The noodles were also cooked. She scooped out two bowls, poured the tomato and egg mixture on top, and the topping noodles were ready.
Jin Ye took the initiative to carry the two bowls of noodles to the dining table, and Su Ding washed her hands and came over.
"Let's eat. Go back after you're done."
Su Ding finished speaking and started eating, regardless of Jin Ye's expression.
Jin Ye said nothing and tasted the noodles in front of him. Although simple, they tasted exceptionally good.
He hadn't tasted her cooking in a long time.
After the meal, Su Ding cleared the bowls and chopsticks, put them into the dishwasher, and then looked at Jin Ye, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Nap."
Jin Ye simply threw out two words and walked directly towards Su Ding's bedroom.
"Hey!" Su Ding gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to drag the scoundrel down, but she couldn't.
Walking upstairs and pushing open the door, Jin Ye had already hung his jacket on the rack and lay down under the covers.
His cold expression on the pink floral bedsheet looked inexplicably comical. Su Ding's mouth twitched, and she consciously turned to go to the next room to rest.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly sat up, wrapped his long arm around her, and pulled her onto the bed.
"You!"
Just as Su Ding was about to scold him, her mouth was covered, and then the quilt was pulled over them, followed by a scorching kiss that descended upon her.
In the darkness, she could feel the man's domineering presence on her.
That hot, large hand was igniting sparks on her body vaguely, her clothes were pushed up to her stomach, and she felt a hard object pressing between her legs...
Su Ding's face flushed with shame. She pinched the aroused man fiercely.
"Get off!"
The man seemed immune to pain. His hot breath fanned her sensitive neck, his hand slid down to her lower body, and his hoarse, enchanting voice whispered in her ear, "You want it too."
Su Ding was overcome with shame and indignation, her cheeks turning red as she panted rapidly.
This damned hooligan was too much!
She wanted to use her knees to push him off, but the scoundrel pried open her knees and suppressed her, forcing her into a shameful position.
