Looking at Jingyan's pitiful expression as he held her, he knew that if he didn't say something soon, Jingyan's tears would start to fall.

So he explained, "I saw you jumping around on the bed quite happily just now, and I thought you were fine. Turns out I was just overthinking it."

After Xu Boren finished speaking, he awkwardly picked up Jingyan and apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. Can I carry you to wash up now?"

Ji Jingyan has a very keen sense of things; Xu Bo's attitude before and after must have been problematic. But then again, they haven't known each other for very long, not even since yesterday.

It's understandable that Xu Boren was impatient with her.

Although she could understand, Jingyan was still a little sad at the thought of Xu Boren being impatient with her. But after all, they weren't familiar with each other yet, and she couldn't be too willful.

Thinking of this, Jingyan raised her hand to refuse. Her weak legs earlier were just an act; she wanted to test Xu Boren's attitude.

Since Xu Boren is still somewhat resistant to her, she should be sensible and know when to back down.

Compared to her earlier spoiled and willful behavior, Jingyan has toned down her temper considerably now.

Jingyan is a very perceptive person. She will take advantage of anyone who treats her well, and she can immediately put away her willful temper if anyone is impatient with her.

Jingyan was so relaxed around Xu Boren because in her past life, Xu Boren had left a deep impression on her by always being obedient to her.

So even though it was their first time meeting in this life, Jingyan didn't resist climbing into Xu Boren's bed.

But Xu Boren doesn't know about their relationship in their past life, so does he think Jingyan's behavior is self-degrading?

Jingyan dared not think that perhaps it was because of her unreserved behavior last night that Xu Boren looked down on her.

So Jingyan put away her casual attitude from before.

Things that one has gone through countless hardships and painstaking efforts to obtain are often regarded as treasures and cherished all the more.

Things that come easily and effortlessly to others are often overlooked or even discarded like worn-out shoes.

Girls should maintain their self-respect and self-love, especially when they are out in public.

Only when you truly love and respect yourself will others look at you differently and be able to genuinely care for and respect you.

If you don't even know how to cherish and love yourself, how can you expect others to love you sincerely?

With that thought in mind, Jingyan behaved very obediently during breakfast.

He was even more reserved in front of Xu Boren.

This made Xu Boren feel a little uneasy. He felt that this woman shouldn't be so reserved in front of him.

Jingyan noticed that Xu Boren kept glancing in her direction, so she pretended to be curious and looked up at him, "What's wrong? Boss, you're staring at me so seriously, it's making me feel really embarrassed."

When Xu Boren saw Jingyan ask a question, he reflexively shook his head. "It's nothing, I just thought it was strange that you were so quiet." He must have just imagined it; this girl is quite bold.

Seeing that he was alright, Jingyan casually asked, "I need to go to the station to buy a ticket home after I finish eating. Could you take me there?"

"Huh? You're leaving today? Why don't you stay a couple more days?" Xu Boyi felt a little uneasy thinking that they had only just started dating and Jingyan was already going back.

"Jingyan, don't you want to stay in the provincial capital for a couple more days? You've come all this way, you should buy your parents something, right?" Xu Boren tentatively suggested to Jingyan.

Jingyan shook her head. "I've spent all my money on gifts for my family, so I don't have much left. I won't buy anything."

“I have some here,” Xu Boren said eagerly.

Xu Boren does indeed have it, and it's not his salary; it's savings he earned with his classmates when he was in college.

Xu Bo started making money as soon as he entered university. It's no exaggeration to say that even if his salary wasn't enough to cover his expenses, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life just by relying on his investments during university, without having to do anything else.

"Yours isn't mine." Jingyan didn't take it to heart and continued eating in silence, but she still casually replied.

“...That’s fine too.” Xu Boren said this with some unease, even though he had just been trying to draw a line between them in a pretentious way.

Hearing the man's words, Jingyan looked at him expressionlessly. Hmph~ Now you want to spend money on her again? She doesn't care.

"You won't be angry if I spend your money, will you?"

Jingyan thought about what had just happened and said, "Your temper is like the weather in June, it changes in an instant. What if you change your mind again? Do you want me to fall down like before? I can't afford to regret it if you change your mind, so it would be better not to use it in the first place."

After Jingyan finished speaking, she lowered her head and ate again.

In the end, however, Jingyan still went to the market to shop with a wad of cash. As for how Xu Boren made concessions to Jingyan step by step and how many guarantees she signed, I won't go into details.

Ji Jingyan is not the kind of person who regards money as dirt or is detached from worldly affairs.

She was very aware of the importance of money and understood that in this realistic world, one cannot do without money and power.

She wasn't reborn just to enjoy life or pursue some lofty ideal; she had clear goals and plans.

She wanted revenge, to make those who had hurt her and her children pay the price.

At the same time, she also wanted to cause trouble for those two brats, so they could also experience what it's like to be bullied.

Of course, that's not enough. She also wants to become an ever-present thorn in Ye Meiling's side, preventing the high and mighty Ye Meiling from relying on Xu Boren to live her carefree life.

Then, with a high-sounding air, they approached Jingyan and said that her behavior was immoral, and that as a college student, she should have her own pursuits and ideals, instead of living off a man.

In her past life, Ye Meiling used a manipulative and manipulative attitude to criticize Jingyan's immorality, causing her to live in pain and distress every day.

Jingyan was unaware of Xu Boren and Ye Meiling's marital status, and was therefore tormented by her conscience.

But Jingyan only learned the truth after her death. At that time, Jingyan really wanted to ask Ye Meiling, "Do you think you are very charming, so you think you can make two men get along peacefully for you?"

Do you want face?

But those are things for the future.

Now, her most important task is to ensure that her parents, sisters, and brothers who have worked so hard to raise her and send her to university can live a better life.

Of course, it's not enough to rely on her alone. To change their lives and free them from the struggle for a living, we still need Xu Boren.

There's nothing shameful about relying on a man, and being able to pass the exam is a skill in itself. Self-reliance and self-improvement are just brainwashing.

Which man's success is the result of his own hard work?

To achieve these goals, she has already taken the first step—getting closer to Xu Boren. She has taken that step successfully; now she needs to think about how to take the second step.
