Though he said this, he became increasingly certain of his thoughts. Before Jinzhi could speak, he cut her off, quickly saying, "Did you see me talking to a girl and accepting something from her on Friday?"

"Um."

The more indifferent she was, the more uncomfortable Ye Yu felt. She had endured it all for so many days.

If it were him, the moment he had a doubt, he would immediately confront the man and demand an explanation. At the very least, he would beat the man up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat a single bite.

He questioned in a deep voice, "You don't like me, are you relieved to see this? Have you been wanting to leave me for a long time, which is why you haven't said anything or asked?"

Jinzhi looked away from him. "No."

But he touched on a secret he had been holding in his heart.

When I saw that photo in his book that night, I felt uncomfortable at first, but later I felt relieved.

Anyway, I've already finished writing the thesis proposal.

Since he is two-faced, she doesn't need to worry about him and should keep her distance from Zhou Yinche.

How could Ye Yu possibly believe that? He was furious, his face was long and cold enough to freeze someone to death.

"No? I bet you've been thinking about divorce me thousands of times over these past few nights, haven't you? Are you thinking about this all the time you go to bed so early?"

"Then I'll tell you, unfortunately, that girl is my uncle's daughter, my cousin. She contacted me to return the headphones I lent her before."

"You can only dream about divorce; don't even think about it in reality."

Uncle's daughter? Cousin?

Not from the Kim family.

That's Yang Jiamei's side...

Jinzhi's eyes widened as she thought about it, and her mouth spoke faster than her brain, pointing incredulously at Ye Yu.

"You, you... Ye Yu, you beast! Don't try to fool me. If you fell in love with your cousin before you knew your true identity, then you're committing incest! Shameless, bastard, utterly hypocritical!"

Ye Yu was so angry that his hands trembled and he was having trouble breathing.

"Jinzhi, I told you we only met to return something. I don't like her! What are you imagining?!"

Jinzhi felt like she was now a righteous messenger exposing the scumbag. She raised her chin to meet his dark eyes, wishing she could jump up and yell at him.

"Stop pretending! I saw the picture of your cousin tucked in your books. I know you like her! You're a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"What photo?"

"From the book 'Border Town'."

She sneered, "I knew you were scheming, but I didn't know you were this cunning! Your malicious intentions are utterly shameful! If Mom finds out, she'll beat you to death!"

Just as the volcano was about to erupt, Ye Yu turned his back and took a few deep breaths, then turned around after a while, feeling both angry and amused.

"Jinzhi, who told you that the person in that photo is your cousin? Are you blind?"

When Jinzhi was asked, she forced a smile and said, "It's my cousin. Her profile, clothes, and figure are exactly the same. Who else could it be? You're disgusting!"

Ye Yu pointed at himself, "Me, disgusting?"

He felt a tightness in his chest that threatened to explode.

I'm so angry.

After pacing a few steps, he was so angry that he grabbed the back of her neck and bit her lips hard twice.

He pointed at her and said, "You stay here and wait patiently. I'll bring you your so-called evidence. If you dare come back, I'll break your legs!"

He slammed the door and left.

After he left, Jinzhi sat on the bed with Abeibei in her arms, pondering his words and becoming increasingly frightened.

He was so confident, could he really not be his cousin?

She buried her head in Xiao Lan's arms and rubbed her head a couple of times. "If it really isn't... then who is it?"

It couldn't be her.

She didn't have those kinds of clothes.

I've never taken photos like that before.

Jinzhi grew increasingly uneasy and, clutching the rabbit, tried to run away.

Avoiding the problem won't solve it, but it can save face.

She ran to the door and looked at her slender, straight legs. Ye Yu had been so angry just now... She had never seen him so angry before.

If there was any, it was when she mentioned marrying Zhou Yinche last time.

If he catches you, things will probably be even worse.

Jinzhi chose to hide under the covers like a quail, clutching her phone.

If Ye Yu dares to hit her, she will call her mother.

Ye Yu rushed back to the Ye family home, woke up the sleeping Yang Jiamei, and even though he got scolded, he was determined to find the book, while also taking the gift box his cousin had given him that day.

On the way back to Yuncui Mountain, I thought of a hundred ways to deal with Jinzhi.

Jinzhi stayed in bed for half an hour, almost falling asleep, but Ye Yu still hadn't returned.

She sat up, looked around, removed any sharp objects from the surroundings, then shrank back onto the bed, rubbing her lower abdomen and muttering to herself.

"Babies, if Mommy really misunderstood Daddy, would your dad forgive me for your sake?"

"But that girl is my cousin, she really looks like her, I'm not blind..."

As she spoke, she lost her confidence.

"It can't be that he has a crush on his cousin, but your dad wouldn't do anything without preparation. Could it be that Mom has misunderstood him...?"

She heard a sound outside, her eyes darted around, but she still felt a little unsure. She snapped the light off and shrank into the covers like a quail.

With a "click," the door was opened.

There was another "click".

A faint light came from outside the blanket, so he turned on the light.

Ye Yu glared coldly at the person huddled under the covers.

A round, plump lump.

So you knew you felt guilty.

The soft footsteps faded away in front of the bed. Jinzhi guessed that he must have stepped onto the soundproof carpet, and nervously swallowed.

After waiting for a while without hearing any sound, I tried to open the quilt to see what was going on, but all the blankets on my body were pulled away.

With a casual glance, he met Ye Yu's dark eyes.

She pursed her lips, but before she could say anything, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Ye Yu carried her to sit on the sofa next to him.

He tossed the gift box into her arms.

He flipped open the book with one hand to find the photos inside, and with the other hand he grabbed her chin and made her look at them carefully.

"Open your pretty eyes that you only know how to vent your anger all day and see who this is."

Jinzhi stared wide-eyed at it again and again.

"How am I supposed to know who it is from just a slightly profiled back view?"

"Aren't you going to say she's your cousin?"

She rested her chin on his palm and murmured, "...I didn't say that, you misheard."

Did he mishear?

They really know how to shift the blame; they never take it out on themselves.

Ye Yu let out a cold laugh.

Jinzhi wasn't stupid; feeling guilty, she asked back, "Who is this? I can tell she's beautiful just by looking at her back. Tell me about her."

Ye Yu sneered, "You idiot who only uses one eye to vent your anger, and whose memory is only seven seconds long, like a fish."

Jinzhi slapped his hand away.

"You're the idiot! You're talking nonsense. This isn't me at all. I've never taken photos like this, and I certainly don't own clothes this cheap. There are loose threads on this dress!"

Ye Yu was so angry he wanted to laugh again. "You're not blind now? This is you, wearing the same uniform as me for the freshman welcome party when I entered university in my second year. My cousin saw me wearing the same kind of clothes to the afternoon's welcome rehearsal that day."

Jinzhi was suddenly lost in memories.

It seems that she did participate in the freshman welcome party during her sophomore year. Her counselor had to persuade her to go, saying that she had a good image.

She wore that dress for half a day, then found it extremely unpleasant, and immediately took it off after her performance at the gala.

She closed her eyes in regret.

My toes feel like digging into the ground.

He quickly regained his composure and smiled.

"These clothes are really old items, passed down for so many years, they've become antiques. Tomorrow, I'll have Mom give the school some money to improve the conditions for their activities."

She smiled, turned her head, and patted his arm.

And observe his expression.

"Look, no wonder she's my cousin, she looks just like me, quite like me back in the day. It's perfectly normal to mistake someone for someone else, don't you think?"

"When we get to school, let's treat my cousin to a meal. Where should we go? How about that Hunan restaurant near the school? Can she handle spicy food? If not, Cantonese food is fine too. I know a really good Cantonese restaurant that you've probably never been to..."

Ye Yu glanced at her with a detached expression, "Jinzhi, don't try to change the subject and lightly cover up tonight's events."
