Ji Wei’s words left Zii speechless. She curled her lips in slight resignation but didn’t refute.
Having said enough, Ji Wei didn’t want to linger on. Claiming she still had work to do, she turned and left.
Zii watched her leave, quietly closing the door behind her. Her seductive black eyes swirled with a complex expression.
Standing silently in the radiant light, she only ca back to her senses when the cigarette in her fingers burned down completely. Her gaze lowered slightly as she pulled out her phone and dialed a number she knew by heart.
Her red lips parted, and her voice, sultry and alluring, ca through: "A Cheng, busy with work? If you’re free tonight, let’s have dinner."
"Sorry, no ti." On the other end of the line, a man’s cold rejection ca as no surprise.
"Your house almost caught fire last night. If it weren’t for my people calling 119 in ti, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Just for that, you should at least give so respect and co out for a al." She wore an enchanting smile, her voice as lodious as ever, devoid of any irritation.
On the other side, Ye Cheng’s pupils contracted, a shadow of darkness flashing imperceptibly in his eyes.
Zii’s words carried two implications.
First, her people just happened to call 119 when the apartnt caught fire, which clearly indicated she had been sending people to monitor him in secret.
Second, the arsonist was undoubtedly Xia Duoduo. Zii knew Xia Duoduo had gone to his place, and with Zii’s personality, she would never let it slide.
Ye Cheng recalled the ti when he was dating Zii. A girl had handed him a love letter, and Zii had exposed it on the school bulletin board, nearly driving the girl to the brink of dropping out.
When it ca to possessiveness, Zii was undoubtedly domineering and overbearing.
"Fine." After a brief mont of thought, Ye Cheng agreed.
"Then tonight at eight, Katie’s Revolving Restaurant. Don’t be late!"
Zii ended sweetly, hanging up the phone at the perfect mont, her lips curving into a smile capable of stealing souls.
Fair competition, is it?
Very well.
She would absolutely make that foolish little artist understand just how formidable her opponent really was. Even without resorting to underhanded tricks, she, Zii, could still win back Ye Cheng’s heart!
...
Back in her car, Ji Wei sent a ssage to Xia Duoduo: Zii just spoke to . She explicitly intends to compete with you for Ye Cheng. Will you fight back?
Xia Duoduo quickly replied: Of course, I will. Who’s afraid of who!
Ji Wei: Good. If you need my help, just ask. Also, Zii might send soone to tail you, so be extra cautious.
Xia Duoduo: No way, right? We’re just love rivals. Why is she acting like I’m so kind of spy? But don’t worry, I’ve been practicing boxing lately. If anyone dares to ss with , I’ll knock them out and have them picking their teeth off the floor!
Ji Wei: Are you still at Ye Cheng’s place?
Xia Duoduo: No. The Great Demon King deliberately avoids . He didn’t co back even when it was daylight, probably stayed at the office to work. I didn’t feel right lingering at his ho.
Ji Wei: Alright, just be careful.
Xia Duoduo: No problem!
Putting her phone away, Ji Wei noticed Mo Qian quietly watching her. She couldn’t help but laugh and tease, "Am I really that good-looking? You’re staring without even blinking."
Mo Qian ignored her joke, his expression stern as he said, "Stay out of Old Ye’s business."
"I’m just helping Duoduo, no need to be so tense," Ji Wei chuckled softly.
"Even so, it’s out of the question. Zii isn’t simple. For her to have reached her current position, her scheming and tactics are far from weak. You’d best keep your distance. If she seeks you out again, don’t respond."
