"My affairs are none of your business."

She did say those words because she was very angry, but it was also because she had really had enough inside.

Why could Li Jiuyuan negate her decision with just one sentence?

This might even affect Grandma.

This person abandoned her today and even made her get soaked in the rain.

After finally returning, Li Jiuyuan didn't give her a kind look and even went against her at every turn.

Jiang Momo had a feeling that Li Jiuyuan was sent by heaven to bully her because it couldn't stand to see her doing well.

Upon hearing this, the villa suddenly fell silent.

Aunt Chen covered her mouth in surprise, then realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to stop Jiang Momo from speaking.

"Madam, you must have been caught in the rain, that's why you're in a bad mood..."

Li Jiuyuan interrupted her sternly.

"Let her speak."

Aunt Chen trembled, but could only shut her mouth, though she used her eyes to signal Jiang Momo to stop talking.

Jiang Momo was completely unaware of her hint.

She did notice that Li Jiuyuan's mood had soured, but the words were already on the tip of her tongue, and given the atmosphere, she forced herself to speak:

"I will make my own decisions and I don't need anyone else to interfere."

When people are angry, they do a lot of things they wouldn't normally dare to do.

Jiang Momo felt annoyed whenever she saw Li Jiuyuan. After speaking, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up, intending to leave.

Li Jiuyuan finally made a move as well. As soon as Jiang Momo stood up, he stood up as well and approached her.

He didn't say a single word from beginning to end.

Jiang Momo, who was originally angry, inexplicably sensed a hint of hurt and resentment in Li Jiuyuan's eyes.

Is this really the expression that the usually cold, ruthless, and decisive CEO Li would show?

But what right does he have to show such an expression?

Anyone who didn't know better would think they owed him a lot.

Jiang Momo had just vented her anger and clearly felt she had done nothing wrong, but she still felt inexplicably guilty. She shifted her gaze, refusing to look at Li Jiuyuan no matter what.

Seeing Li Jiuyuan getting closer and closer to her, she cowardly flinched and backed away.

"you……"

Jiang Momo tried to maintain her composure, but her confidence was no match for Li Jiuyuan's. The moment Li Jiuyuan opened his mouth to speak, her confidence completely vanished.

"Since you don't like it that much, I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."

"Whatever happened, you don't need to come looking for me anymore."

What a heartless woman.

Li Jiuyuan felt a tightness in his chest, and those frustrated emotions surged up, making it impossible for him to control the violent aura around him.

The thought that all he had done behind the scenes was ultimately met with Jiang Momo saying she didn't need it made Li Jiuyuan feel utterly ridiculous.

After all these years, he still naively believed in Jiang Momo, thinking that she would remember his kindness, so he devoted himself to her.

Unexpectedly, just like back then, it became a joke.

Jiang Momo really hasn't changed at all over the years.

If they don't need me, does that mean they need Li Yunqi?

That's right, Jiang Momo insisted on going on a business trip because she wanted to have a secret rendezvous with Li Yunqi.

The thought of Jiang Momo throwing a tantrum at him because of Li Yunqi made Li Jiuyuan's anger level rise rapidly.

"..."

Jiang Momo also bit her lower lip, her grievances showing no less. She lowered her head and muttered a few words:

"Who cares?"

Since she entered the Li family, she felt that she had never asked Li Jiuyuan for a single penny. At most, she had just eaten and drunk some food. So, she was still taken advantage of!

This man makes insatiable demands every night, so in the end, she's the one who loses out more.

The man was already in front of her. Jiang Momo could feel the chill emanating from him, and her body instinctively shivered, but she still managed to keep her composure.

She stared directly into Li Jiuyuan's eyes, as if making an accusation.

Even she herself felt that she had gone completely mad tonight.

In the past, she would have already softened and coaxed him. After all, if she could appease Li Jiuyuan, she would be able to live a better life before leaving him and healing her grandmother.

But she didn't try to comfort him tonight, nor did she want to.

"Good job, you're really great."

Li Jiuyuan said this almost through gritted teeth.

Seeing the anger in his eyes, Jiang Momo was worried that Li Jiuyuan might attack her. Her heart was filled with unease when the chilling aura surrounding her completely disappeared.

What awaited her was the villa door slamming shut with a "bang".

The sound echoed throughout the villa, and after a long time, the house finally returned to silence.

The other servants kept their eyes down, not daring to utter a single word, for fear of getting into trouble.

I don't know how much time passed, but Aunt Chen took the initiative to break the silence.

"Madam...are you alright?"

She was indeed so frightened that she lost her composure.

As far as I can remember, President Li hasn't been this angry in many years.

The angrier Li Jiuyuan gets, the calmer he appears on the surface.

Like the sea before a storm, in the end those raging winds and towering waves will surely come back a thousand times over.

Jiang Momo relaxed her breathing slightly.

"I'm fine."

She silently loosened the hand that had been gripping the hem of her clothes, closed her eyes, and calmed her heartbeat.

Recalling what she had just said and done, Jiang Momo would be lying if she said she didn't regret it.

However, once her emotions reached that point, she couldn't control them.

Jiang Momo returned to the dining table and sat down, staring at the door that Li Jiuyuan had just slammed shut, without saying a word.

Aunt Chen sensed what she wanted to ask and took the initiative to speak:

"Don't worry, madam. Every couple has their disagreements. They just make up before they get out of bed. Maybe Mr. Li will come and coax you later."

"Trying to coax me? How could that be? It's good enough that he doesn't cause me any trouble." Jiang Momo snorted irritably.

Actually, she couldn't understand why the two of them suddenly started arguing.

So she comforted herself, thinking it was good that Li Jiuyuan was gone, so she could finally pack her bags and get a good night's sleep.

Seeing the situation between the two, Aunt Chen was very anxious.

She quickly spoke up to defend her boss, Mr. Li.

"Madam, although Mr. Li usually seems a bit aloof and is quite busy with work, I can tell that he really likes you."

"I've lived in the Li family for so many years, and I've never seen him care so much about any woman."

Jiang Momo did not speak.

He never cared about other women because none of them had the chance to appear in front of Li Jiuyuan.

Moreover, Li Jiuyuan's kindness was for Jiang Weiwei, not for Jiang Momo.

She always makes very clear distinctions.

She was on a business trip for her grandmother and for her own career prospects; she didn't want to be known as Jiang Weiwei.

Li Jiuyuan's kindness never reached her.

Aunt Chen is a good person, and Jiang Momo didn't want her to worry too much, so she could only force a smile.

"Alright, Aunt Chen, I'm fine now, I'll go upstairs to rest."

After saying that, she went upstairs without waiting for Aunt Chen's reaction.
