Nian Ueno

Jiang Weixi widened her eyes: "How can it not be important? Do you want your wife to be a person with a terrible record and full of flaws?"

Ji Dongxun: "Isn't my wife already that kind of person?"

It means that's just how she is.

Jiang Weixi retorted, "You're just prejudiced against me! Why can't you give me another chance to get to know you again?"

Ji Dongxun: "There's no need."

He only needed her to behave herself and not cause trouble. As for her strengths and weaknesses, they were not very important to him.

She can stay in this position as long as she abides by the agreement; if she violates the agreement, she can be replaced at any time.

Ji Dongxun didn't want to waste time and energy getting to know a mere tool.

Ji Dongxun glanced at her and said coldly, "I have no interest in getting to know you."

But Jiang Weixi didn't care whether he was interested or not, and started explaining on her own.

She was determined to say it today; some things were hard to keep bottled up.

"Mr. Ji, I know you didn't have a good first impression of me. Actually, the reason I climbed into your bed that night was because of Gu Wanyi..."

She explained the whole story to him in detail and also analyzed her own emotional journey.

"The Gu family wanted to give me to President Chen as a favor. Gu Wanyi is my best friend on the surface, but she's always plotting against me behind my back. I just wanted to get revenge on them, so... Of course, you yourself are also a very charming person..."

Her core message boils down to two points.

First, since Gu Jiaxian was unkind, then don't blame her for being unjust.

Secondly, she was captivated by Ji Dongxun's charm, which is why she chose to sleep with him.

Ji Dongxun lowered his eyelids, sipped his wine, and didn't respond to her.

Jiang Weixi didn't know how much he listened to, but she explained the first misunderstanding.

She continued talking incessantly.

"And about Ji Xingzhou, he went too far. He betrayed me first, and Xu Manzhen has been targeting and bullying me all along..."

She recounted all the grievances she suffered while with Ji Xingzhou, including how they isolated and ostracized her, and even abandoned her in the deep mountains and forests...

The more she talked, the angrier she became, and the more agitated she got, until she cursed everyone in the group.

"Anyway... I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they bully me, I can't just stand by and let them do whatever they want to me, can I?"

Jiang Weixi talked on and on, until his mouth was dry, but he didn't say a word and only drank.

Jiang Weixi puffed out her cheeks: "Mr. Ji, are you even listening to me?"

"Hmm," he responded faintly, his eyes becoming even more unfocused.

"Oh, so have you changed your opinion of me even a little bit?" Jiang Weixi rested her elbows on her knees and looked at him with her hands supporting her cheeks.

Ji Dongxun finished his last sip, put down his glass, stood up, narrowed his long eyes, and glanced at her.

The way she kept swearing... was actually kind of cute, making her seem more real and three-dimensional.

She tilted her little face up, her eyes bright and expectant, hoping to get his approval.

Seeing how hard she was trying to explain, Ji Dongxun nodded and replied, "Mm."

After tonight's in-depth conversation—no, it was just her unilateral talk—in any case, Ji Dongxun's opinion of her has indeed changed.

With just a single "hmm," Jiang Weixi couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Ji Dongxun's eyelids grew heavy, and drowsiness washed over him. He lifted his foot and walked towards his room, leaving behind the words, "Go to sleep."

He went into the master bedroom and closed the door.

He still maintained this lukewarm attitude; it seems that tonight's heartfelt confession hadn't moved him.

Jiang Weixi was deflated, lowered her head, and a look of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

There was still some wine left in the bottle, so she picked it up and drank it down. The spicy and slightly sweet liquid filled her mouth, and her throat felt burning.

Tsk~

What's so good about this?

Jiang Weixi shook her head, not understanding, unable to discern the difference. She got up, returned to the guest room, washed up, and rested.

There were no pajamas in the closet, so she had to sleep naked all night wrapped in a blanket.

The imported memory foam mattress was perfect for sleeping, and Jiang Weixi slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

Ji Dongxun, on the contrary, had a dream all night long.

He dreamed again of the gentle little rabbit, of her sweet voice calling him "brother" and "husband," of her exquisite curves and fair skin...

The next morning.

When Ji Dongxun woke up, a look of confusion flashed in his dark eyes, and he felt an emptiness in his heart.

Why am I having this kind of dream again?

Gently pinch the space between your eyebrows with your fingers.

He subconsciously reached for his phone, opened the chat window with Gentle Rabbit, froze for a moment, and then chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He turned off his phone, tossed it aside, and sat up to get dressed.

It seems that the gentle little rabbit had a deep influence on him, and he still unconsciously thinks of her.

Ji Dongxun tried to forget this period and convince himself that he didn't care, but dreams at night don't lie.

He never imagined that a complete stranger he had never met could have such a lasting and profound impact on him, and it was the most uncertain factor in his life.

He had to admit, he missed her.

But it's just something I think about, something I dream about occasionally.

It's over between them.

There was a knock on the door.

A girl's sweet voice came from behind the door: "Mr. Ji, are you awake?"

Ji Dongxun had just woken up, his voice still a little hoarse, and he hummed in response.

Jiang Weixi stood outside the door and asked, "Could you send someone to take me to school? I have an exam this morning, it starts at eight o'clock, and I'm in a bit of a rush."

"Um."

Ji Dongxun got dressed and opened the door.

Jiang Weixi was already dressed and waiting for him at the door, a sweet smile on her face: "Good morning, Mr. Ji."

He nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Weixi thought to herself: What's wrong with saying a few more words?

Jiang Weixi gave him a nickname in her mind—Mr. Uh-huh.

Ji Dongxun walked to the entrance and put on his shoes and coat.

She suddenly ran back to the sofa: "Wait for me, I forgot my bag."

Her foot injury hadn't fully healed and was still a little sore, so she took small, limping steps as she walked forward.

Her high ponytail swayed back and forth behind her head.

Her light pink sweater stood out brightly against the dark gray background of the room.

Ji Dongxun, wearing a black overcoat, stood by the door watching her.

Jiang Weixi didn't want to keep him waiting, so she endured the pain in her feet and jogged over. "Let's go."

As she ran towards him, a pink hue swayed by, bringing with it a youthful and vibrant aura.

Ji Dongxun's eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his eyelids, and turned to walk out.

While waiting for the elevator.

Jiang Weixi suddenly asked him, "Mr. Ji, have any girls come here?"

Without hesitation, he answered, "No."

Jiang Weixi curled her lips into a smile and asked again, "Then...do you hate me?"

The elevator has arrived.

The two went up.

She heard the answer: "It's okay."

Jiang Weixi raised an eyebrow. So it's not so annoying after all? Looks like our deep conversation last night was somewhat helpful.

Ji Dongxun's impression of her improved, and now he sees her as a slightly scheming yet very straightforward little girl.

I don't particularly dislike it, but I also don't particularly like it.
