During this time, Jiang Jihe was studying the comments on Wen Zhining's video feed on his phone.

Until two days before Wen Zhining was preparing for the exam.

She studied at home, while Jiang Jihe had no classes.

Le Baiqing invited him out, but he had other plans in mind, so he agreed.

There was a lot of stuff in the passenger seat, so she had to sit in the back.

I turned on Bluetooth thinking I'd connect to some music, but then I noticed a new playlist on the car's screen.

The above shows: [Ningning's favorite song]

Le Baiqing sat in the back and watched Jiang Jihe skillfully select the first song to start playing.

Lyrical music echoed in the car.

"This is what Ningning likes to listen to; she listens to it every time she gets in my car."

"You should listen to more things and learn from Ningning's taste. Don't always listen to unpleasant things."

His tone was so matter-of-fact and direct that it irritated Yue Baiqing.

Arrive at the restaurant.

For as long as the meal lasted, Jiang Jihe would subtly glance at her phone, which was placed to the side.

Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Jihe's phone rang.

Upon seeing who it was, Jiang Jihe answered immediately.

"Brother!" Wen Zhining greeted cheerfully, then noticed her video background. "Where are you?"

"I'm eating out." Jiang Jihe lowered his phone, the camera panning to the food on the table. "Has Ningning eaten?"

"I ate." Wen Zhining lay on her homework, looking at the screen. "My brother cooked me noodles. After I ate, I went back to my room to study."

"Ningning is so good."

That slightly indulgent voice couldn't be hidden, and Yue Baiqing across from her was taken aback.

He spoke up: "Was that Ningning calling? Let me see, I want to say hello to her."

Jiang Jihe kept his gaze fixed on the person on his phone screen, and shook his head to refuse.

"I think I heard my sister's voice. Is she here too?" Wen Zhining asked curiously.

"Ningning, don't get distracted, focus on your studies," Jiang Jihe said with a smile.

"I have some questions I don't understand, and I wanted to ask you for help. If you're busy, I won't bother you." Wen Zhining was very understanding.

"Don't bother me, let me see."

Wen Zhining then switched the screen to show Jiang Jihe the exercise book on the table.

Le Baiqing ate her meal absentmindedly, and finally lost her appetite, so she put down her chopsticks and stood up.

"Ah He, I'm finished eating. Let's go. Buy me a dress too."

Jiang Jihe was teaching Wen Zhining her lessons and didn't hear it; Wen Zhining's voice seemed to have drowned out Le Baiqing's.

Le Baiqing then raised her voice, "Ahe!"

Everyone in the restaurant looked over.

Even Wen Zhining heard it and covered her ears in fright. "Brother, what's that sound over there? How can someone be shouting so rudely outside?"

"Ningning is right, it is indeed impolite," Jiang Jihe replied, and sent a message to Le Baiqing.

Le Baiqing took out her phone and looked at it.

【Don't go yet, I have something to tell you later. I haven't finished eating yet, and I'll also be helping Ningning with her homework. Don't talk so loudly, it'll disturb the people around us and Ningning. She was scared by you.】

Upon seeing this message, Le Baiqing insisted on speaking out loud.

"I said let's go! You're almost finished eating! Do you really have to answer her call while we're eating?!"

Jiang Jihe watched her quietly, covering the microphone on his phone to keep Wen Zhining from being disturbed.

His eyes were cold and devoid of warmth, and Yue Baiqing shivered under his gaze.

Jiang Jihe looked away and continued explaining the problem to Wen Zhining.

Le Baiqing suppressed her temper and sat down again, watching her boyfriend video chat with other girls while she was eating.

She waited until Jiang Jihe ended the call with a reluctance that he didn't notice.

Jiang Jihe held out his hand and said to her, "My cell phone."

Le Baiqing handed him her phone, thinking he had misunderstood something, and explained, "I haven't had any ambiguous relationships or contact with other guys. You can check all you want. I only have you."

Not knowing what she was talking about, Jiang Jihe focused on checking her phone and opened her short video app.

I discovered that she did indeed have another account, so I switched to that account and clicked on the messages.

The more he looked, the darker his expression became. He gripped his phone tightly, staring at the insulting words on it.

Ningning is so innocent; she must feel so wronged seeing all this. They were so nice to her on the day of the barbecue.

Cola Baiqing is good.

He glanced at Le Baiqing, his eyes carrying a cold, dangerous glint, just like the day he dealt with the male classmate who harassed Wen Zhining.

Yue Baiqing seemed to realize something and quickly stood up, reaching out, "Give it back to me!"

Jiang Jihe quickly exported the information and sent it to his own phone, while avoiding Le Baiqing's touch.

The restaurant staff: "..."

"All done." Jiang Jihe tossed the phone back to her after finishing, and wiped his hands as he did so.

"Someone will contact you about Ningning's matter; deleting it won't help."

"Le Baiqing, let's break up." His voice was flat, even tinged with disgust.

The gentleness of the past is gone.

He left the restaurant and threw the tissue into the trash can.

"What right do you have! Jiang Jihe, let me tell you! We can't break up!"

"What are you looking at?! Haven't you ever seen couples arguing before?!"

Despite the clown-like stares directed at her from those around the restaurant, Le Baiqing shouted at them.

They were kicked out by the restaurant manager.

She wandered aimlessly down the street and passed by that brand store again.

That day, she made up with Jiang Jihe and arranged to meet him at this very spot. As soon as she saw Jiang Jihe enter the store, she immediately followed him, knowing he would definitely pay for the clothes she picked out.

Since Wen Zhining appeared, she dared not ask for any expensive gifts anymore, for fear that Jiang Jihe would find out that she was greedy for his money and for other people's money.

The clothes inside were beautiful, and she couldn't take her eyes off each one. She arrogantly ordered the shop assistants to bring out one expensive piece after another for her to see.

It felt really good. Every time she was with Jiang Jihe, she was the center of attention and served by everyone.

Jiang Jihe went straight for the dress, quickly paid for it, and had it packed.

As a result, she also benefited from what she wanted.

She thought it was a gift for her, but he never gave it to her.

Why should I?

Why is it that Wen Zhining can get Jiang Jihe to pay for her expenses without saying anything?

The same goes for hidden items, and for clothing as well.

"Young lady, I have many beautiful hair clips, bracelets, and other jewelry here. Would you like to take a look?" An old woman's voice brought Yue Baiqing back to reality.

She looked at the jewelry in front of the stall, her gaze landing on the pearl hair clips.

It was here that Jiang Jihe stared blankly at the hair clip.

Although his body was physically by her side, his heart was already constantly thinking of Wen Zhining.

She was going to come along for the barbecue because she knew Wen Zhining would be there and didn't want them to have any further contact.

She did indeed see the pearl hair clip Wen Zhining was wearing.

The two of them seemed oblivious to their surroundings, their eyes meeting.

Even Jiang Jihe himself might not be aware of his thoughts.

Le Baiqing knew that Wen Zhining was provoking her. Jiang Jihe rarely cared so much about a girl, so she had already lost.

If she gives up now, Jiang Jihe, given his personality, will likely compensate her with a breakup fee.

But she just didn't want to. She didn't want to give up Jiang Jihe, and she didn't want to give up the opportunity to carry designer bags and clothes.

She spent three years trying to win Jiang Jihe's heart, but she couldn't. Wen Zhining had only known Jiang Jihe for a few months, and she was unwilling to give up.

If Wen Zhining were dead, the world would be at peace.
