Lin Jiyue returned to Zhuang Licheng's seaside villa with the check.
She should have refused resolutely, but Mrs. Zhuang actually threatened her with her only sister and friends around her, so she had to accept the check to reassure her.
Entering the living room of the villa in a daze, Zhuang Licheng was sitting on the sofa reading a financial newspaper.
Hearing Lin Jiyue's return, he walked up to her and picked her up.
"Where have you been?" Zhuang Licheng asked the girl in his arms and leaned over to kiss her again.
"I went to see your mother. She made an appointment with me." Lin Jiyue smiled, took out the check from her backpack and shook it in front of him. "It seems that I am quite valuable!" She lowered her head and counted on it.
As for the zero or eight-digit number, she may not be able to earn one percent of it in her lifetime.
Zhuang Licheng took the check, threw it aside, hugged Lin Jiyue tightly and asked, "Do you believe me?"
"Um……"
"Then don't worry about them..."
"However, if I accept the money but don't leave you, I'm worried that your family will be detrimental to my friends and relatives." Lin Jiyue's face was full of contradictions and sorrow.
On the way here, she kept thinking over and over whether she should tell Zhuang Licheng about Mrs. Zhuang's meeting with her.
She knew that Zhuang Li had become a thing for the two of them to be together and was already under a lot of pressure. She didn't want to add to his burden.
But it would be unfair to him not to tell him, or to disappear without a word.
Since they are determined to be together, they should have the courage to face pressure from all sides together.
"Don't worry, leave it to me to handle it. You just need to stay by my side with peace of mind." Zhuang Licheng's eyes were deep and he hugged her considerately.
"good."
Lin Jiyue leaned in Zhuang Licheng's arms, savoring his body temperature and scent, wondering whether this broad chest could hold up a sky for her.
She decided to block it.
There was the sound of water dripping in the bathroom. Zhuang Licheng accompanied her to finish dinner. The two of them watched TV together for a while while he was taking a shower.
Lin Jiyue sat on the bed alone, hugging her knees, deep in thought.
Originally, she had no confidence in being with Zhuang Licheng, but now Zhuang's mother came to visit her, causing her mood to plummet again and again.
Although Zhuang Licheng repeatedly stated that he would be with her, he asked her not to think too much and leave everything to him.
But Lin Jiyue still felt very uneasy. Can they really overcome all difficulties and be together in the end?
She fell into a state of uncertainty...
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, she jumped up from the bed quickly, ran to the bathroom door with her long nightgown, and turned the doorknob——
Steam was lingering in the air. Lin Jiyue held her skirt in one hand and ran forward barefoot, hugging Zhuang Licheng tightly from behind, and pressed her slightly cold face against his broad back.
Zhuang Licheng was very surprised. He didn't expect her to behave like this at all. The hot water sprayed from the shower wet her hair and her clothes. He tried to open her hand, but she firmly
Hugging her, saying nothing and not letting go.
"Yueyue?" Zhuang Licheng called her gently.
Lin Jiyue rubbed her face on his back lovingly and told him very softly, "Your mother came to see me just now. She asked me if I liked you very much. Do you know how I answered?"
Zhuang Licheng was slightly startled.
"I thought I would hesitate for a moment, but no, not even for a second, it turned out... I think I really like you." Or more than that, but she didn't say it out loud.
