She wanted to go with him to the home he had mentioned.

Jiang Momo took a step forward and reached out to take the clothes that Li Jiuyuan was handing her.

But his hand, which had been hanging in mid-air, eventually fell down.

"I'm not cold, thank you, Ninth Master."

Even though she longed for a home, Jiang Momo knew very well that this home could not be given to her by Li Jiuyuan.

She cannot covet things that do not belong to her.

What she seems to have now, she will have to give back sooner or later.

It's better to draw a clear line sooner rather than later, rather than struggling with the pain later.

Li Jiuyuan narrowed his cold eyes slightly.

Does Jiang Momo despise everything about herself?

They wouldn't even accept one of his clothes.

The man's originally gentle demeanor turned sharp, and without a word, he put his coat on Jiang Momo.

"Put them on."

Concise and to the point, leaving no room for refusal.

Jiang Momo had no choice but to obediently put on her clothes and straighten her collar.

The entire office building was eerily quiet; Jiang Momo could only hear Li Jiuyuan's voice: "Let's go."

This person was throwing a tantrum for some reason, suddenly becoming unhappy, and saying things in a very deliberate, one-word-at-a-time manner.

The atmosphere was heavy until the two got into the car.

Li Jiuyuan seemed to only then remember the purpose of his visit. Seeing Jiang Momo's obviously fearful expression, his expression worsened, and he tried his best to make his tone sound less harsh:

"What's wrong? You don't seem happy."

Or is he really that scary?

Jiang Momo raised her hand to rub her face, forcing a smile.

"fine."

She didn't want to tell Li Jiuyuan about her affairs, nor could she tell Li Jiuyuan.

Li Jiuyuan's expression darkened further. He couldn't understand why this woman was unwilling to tell him what had happened each time.

They always prefer to shoulder everything on their own.

They were clearly married, and it was the closest relationship in the world.

But often, Li Jiuyuan had a misconception that he couldn't feel Jiang Momo's affection and dependence on him.

Jiang Momo always maintains an outsider's perspective, and can always extricate herself from the situation.

That left him all alone again.

Thinking of this, Li Jiuyuan stopped what he was about to do and turned his head. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Momo's head, pulled her close, and kissed her as if biting her.

Jiang Momo instinctively tried to break free, but Li Jiuyuan held her even tighter.

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Momo suddenly felt a deep fear.

It turns out that every time she was able to break free from Li Jiuyuan in the past, it was because Li Jiuyuan took the initiative to let go.

If Li Jiuyuan is unwilling, things will turn out like they are today; she can neither escape nor avoid it.

As long as Li Jiuyuan wants it, Jiang Momo will never be able to escape him in this lifetime.

"Ninth Master..."

Jiang Momo almost sobbed as she spoke, finally earning him a sliver of pity.

After being released by Li Jiuyuan, Jiang Momo covered her swollen and red lips, her eyes slightly red.

The man licked his lips and tasted the blood.

I finally regained my sense of security.

Only in this way could he be sure that Jiang Momo was right beside him at that moment.

Still resentful of Jiang Momo's aloofness, Li Jiuyuan asked, "Did you go back to the Jiang family today?"

Mentioning those two words brings to mind the vain and greedy faces of the Jiang family couple, and how Jiang Weiwei had humiliated her.

She lowered her eyes and gave a faint reply: "Yes, I went back."

What did they say to you?

Li Jiuyuan noticed the unspoken words in Jiang Momo's eyes.

It was as if they were anticipating her next answer.

As far as Li Jiuyuan was concerned, if he wanted Jiang Momo to tell the truth, or even just ask him for a few words, he would definitely stand up for her.

The Jiang family? Those few lackeys who dared to bully him are not far from their deaths.

Jiang Momo also hesitated about whether to tell Li Jiuyuan.

But...where should she begin?

Are you suggesting I'm an imposter, and that I only approached him to get treatment for my grandmother's illness?

Or is she Li Jiuyuan's nephew's ex-girlfriend?

But saying these things would only make Li Jiuyuan hate her even more.

Jiang Momo is indeed tired of her current life full of pretense. If possible, she hopes to shed this "skin" as soon as possible and be herself again.

Only Jiang Momo.

As for his relationship with Li Jiuyuan?

She couldn't quite articulate her true feelings, but she felt that if she could be herself again, she would be willing to start over with Li Jiuyuan.

Although it was more likely that by then, the two of them were already destined never to meet again in this lifetime.

So in the end, Jiang Momo simply made the smile on her face look more genuine.

"They didn't say anything, they just told me to live a good life with you."

If only the Jiang couple were truly good parents.

This way, at least she won't have trouble affording her grandmother's medical expenses.

"..."

Li Jiuyuan did not respond.

Jiang Momo still refused to tell the truth.

It seems that I am not trustworthy in her eyes.

Yes, he should have thought of that.

Jiang Momo is used to being cold-blooded and heartless. She used to be able to leave him alone and walk away without a word, and she hasn't changed much now.

She has always been this kind of person.

Since she didn't need his support, Li Jiuyuan went along with her and continued talking.

"Yes, they are your parents after all, and what they say is definitely for your own good."

"When you have time, please pass on a message to them for me, thanking them for raising such an obedient and sensible daughter."

Jiang Momo pursed her lips.

Li Jiuyuan's words felt like needles piercing her heart.

But this was her own choice, Jiang Momo thought, and she had no right to be upset.

Neither of them said another word for the rest of the time.

They quietly returned to the villa.

Aunt Chen had prepared their favorite dishes and was about to invite them to eat.

Li Jiuyuan said coldly, "I won't eat it."

He then went straight to the study without lingering for even a moment.

Aunt Chen looked puzzled.

What's wrong with my boss, Mr. Li, today?

Before Mingming set off to pick up his wife, he specifically instructed her to prepare her favorite dishes so they could eat together at home.

When his wife returned, he left again.

Unable to understand Mr. Li's thoughts, Aunt Chen could only turn to Jiang Momo.

"Madam must be hungry. Come and have something to eat."

Jiang Momo watched Li Jiuyuan's departing figure, feeling utterly bewildered.

Unable to understand what the other person was angry about or why they were upset, and not having much of an appetite, she could only smile apologetically at Aunt Chen.

"Aunt Chen, I'm not hungry right now."

Neither of them were eating, and Aunt Chen looked anxious.

"That won't do. If Madam doesn't eat, her body definitely won't be able to take it."

Jiang Momo still didn't want to eat and was in a bad mood. She didn't want to go upstairs to see Li Jiuyuan, so she simply went to find Xiao Mo instead.

The little guy is growing very fast. When he saw her coming, he crawled up to her on his short legs.

Jiang Momo bent down and hugged Xiao Mo in her arms. The other person immediately shouted loudly, which made Jiang Momo's face full of smiles.

No one listened to her troubles, so she could only confide in Xiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo, do you think Li Jiuyuan is crazy?"
