If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Jiang Wanjun couldn't stand his arrogant attitude, so she shook off Zhu Tingyue's outstretched hand and sat down on the other side of the sofa, as if deliberately going against Shen Yanqiu.

Zhu Tingyue was exhausted from coaxing them, so the two went to sit down. She was busy serving them tea and water like a little maid.

"My dear sister, please have some tea!"

With a smile on her face, she gently picked up a glass of water from the table, slowly moved to Jiang Wanjun's side, bent down slightly, and carefully handed the glass to Jiang Wanjun.

Their posture was so humble that they seemed to be afraid that the slightest disrespect would offend the other party.

Then, she turned and walked to the other side. She bent down again, holding another glass of water in both hands, and handed it to Shen Yanqiu.

However, Shen Yanqiu did not immediately reach out to take the cup. Instead, he sat there quietly, staring straight at her with an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.

Time ticked by, but Shen Yanqiu still showed no intention of taking the water glass. Zhu Tingyue couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Have some tea!"

He said with a serious face, "You didn't say 'darling'!"

The resounding words left Zhu Tingyue and Jiang Wanjun speechless.

Do I really need to say that?

Jiang Wanyun was overjoyed. Shen Yanqiu was really funny! Had Zhu Tingyue found a boyfriend? Chun Chun had found herself a tyrant!

You have to coax him! You have to love him! And you can only love him!

My goodness, I can't even imagine how wonderful Zhu Tingyue's life will be in the future!

He didn't answer, so Zhu Tingyue had no choice but to repeat what he said, "My dear Shen Yanqiu, please have some tea."

After she finished speaking, Shen Yanqiu still didn't respond.

What's wrong now? Is it still not right?

"Sir, do you have any further instructions?" Zhu Tingyue had lost her temper and just wanted him to give her a clear answer.

"You didn't say 'me'!"

This?

"Pfft..."

Jiang Wanjun seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and could no longer suppress her laughter. Her laughter rang out as clear and melodious as silver bells.

The sudden laughter instantly caught Zhu Tingyue's attention.

She glared fiercely at Jiang Wanjun, her eyes burning with rage. She gritted her teeth and gave her a look full of accusation: Look at what you've done! Why am I the one suffering?

However, Jiang Wanjun remained remarkably calm and composed in the face of Zhu Tingyue's anger.

A sly smile played on her lips, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with intelligence.

She understood Zhu Tingyue's question and gave her own answer: Because you love him! That's why you're willing to do it. Besides, who told you to spoil him so much?

Zhu Tingyue was taken aback when she received her answer. She then took a deep breath and tried to calm her excited emotions.

She knew very well that Jiang Wanjun was right; she did indeed like Shen Yanqiu, and that was why she indulged and spoiled him in every way.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tingyue couldn't help but secretly encourage herself: It's just saying it again, what's there to be afraid of? She, Zhu Tingyue, has never been a coward!

So she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind: Let's do it again! It's just one sentence, right? Who's afraid of who?

"My dearest Shen Yanqiu, please have some tea!"

After she finished speaking, her gaze sharpened and fixed firmly on Shen Yanqiu's hand.

Time passed second by second, but Shen Yanqiu remained motionless, standing in place like a statue.

In an instant, the nameless fire in her heart ignited like a volcanic eruption.

You know, from childhood to adulthood, everyone has always treated her with utmost respect and obedience. When has anyone ever dared to treat her like this?

Just as Jiang Wanjun said, Shen Yanqiu was indeed spoiled by her!

Just as she was about to pull her hand back, she saw Shen Yanqiu finally make a move—he slowly reached out and took the glass of water, which was now refreshingly cold.

Shen Yanqiu drank her water, thinking: Fine, Shen Yanqiu it is then. I'll let her call someone else when we're alone!

It's finally over! Zhu Tingyue felt that being with these two was like undergoing a tribulation; it was either being struck by lightning or causing widespread suffering!

So sad! Someone please help her!

Shen Yanqiu and Jiang Wanjun each sat on one side of the sofa. Zhu Tingyue was glad that there were seats on three sides of the sofa at home, otherwise she might have had to stand today!

It's really not easy! She wiped the sweat from her forehead. Luckily, Jiang Wanjun only came over occasionally. If she came every day, her good days would be over!

I wonder if Shen Yanqiu is just incompatible with her, since he always seems to be against her?

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Zhu Tingyue!"

Just then, a deafening shout, like thunder, suddenly rang in Zhu Tingyue's ears!

The sound was so loud that it seemed to pierce the clouds and strike the depths of one's soul.

Zhu Tingyue was startled by the sudden roar, and her previously drifting thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality.

She opened her eyes blankly, a trace of confusion still lingering in them.

After a long while, she seemed to wake from a dream, slowly turning her head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Wh...what's wrong?"

Standing to the side, Jiang Wanjun glared at her fiercely, her heart filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

Jiang Wanyun simply couldn't tolerate Zhu Tingyue's absent-minded attitude and complete disregard for what she said.

You should know that during this period of time, she has been busy with everything to resolve Zhu Tingyue's matter, and has hardly had a moment to rest.

Instead of cautiously probing Shen Yanqiu, trying to find some useful clues from his words and actions;

It's like being a detective, not letting go of any small detail, carefully observing the surroundings to see if there are any clues to follow.

However, after all his hard work, all he got in return was Zhu Tingyue's indifferent response. How could he not be angry?

But she kept it a secret from everyone. Even though it had been going on for so long, she stubbornly refused to tell a single person.

No! There's another person in the know—Shen Yanqiu!

Jiang Wanyun rolled her eyes at Shen Yanqiu, saying that they were in cahoots and were no good people!

After receiving her disdainful and contemptuous glare, Zhu Tingyue took a deep breath, trying to calm her chaotic mind, and focused intently on awaiting the judgment that was about to be handed to her.

Shen Yanqiu didn't care at all, and even wanted to roll his eyes at her, but then he thought that it would be too elegant to do so because of Zhu Tingyue's beautiful face, so he gave up.
