Hearing this, Zhu Yan suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Her mind went blank, and all the words she had prepared vanished without a trace.
She instantly felt like she had been instantly defeated.
She was still an innocent maiden.
She rarely argued with others.
Being able to retort to Zhou Ying in such a 'tea-like' manner just now was already a very rare feat for her.
Zhou Ying, on the other hand, had been in a relationship.
Although she wasn't Jiang Cheng's only girlfriend, she had at least received Jiang Cheng's acknowledgment.
Moreover, her past relationship gave her more confidence in handling such situations.
As for her, she had just eagerly followed along and hadn't had any substantial contact with Jiang Cheng yet.
Naturally, her confidence was a bit lacking.
Furthermore, she knew that Jiang Cheng had bought Zhou Ying two apartments and a car.
One in Chengdu and one gifted in Modu.
That was one more than the other women.
This undoubtedly showed that Jiang Cheng and Zhou Ying had a very good relationship, which made Zhu Yan feel even more uncomfortable.
She really wanted to directly throw the words, "You're not Jiang Cheng's only girlfriend, what right do you have to lecture me?" right in Zhou Ying's face.
But she didn't dare.
Zhu Yan gave a cold chuckle.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, and forced herself to say, "Miss Zhou is overthinking things. Aren't you being a bit too strict about Young Master Jiang's private life? Is it because you don't trust Young Master Jiang??"
These words instantly knocked Zhou Ying out.
Miss Zhou widened her eyes, glaring at Zhu Yan, seemingly wanting to retort, but for a moment, she couldn't find the right words.
These two rounds of back-and-forth attacks secretly surprised Young Master Jiang, who was beside them.
Is the battle this fierce??
The two of them secretly fought until each other's faces were a bit red and swollen.
This was even with him present.
He used to see videos on the news of official girlfriends and mistresses pulling each other's hair.
He always thought those scenes were too aggressive, even unbelievable.
But now, as he personally witnessed these two Girls, who were usually as gentle as water, bickering over him.
He instantly understood that situation.
After all, matters of the heart, once a third party is involved, often become exceptionally complex and sensitive.
Even across the screen, the tension was so heavy.
If they were face to face, these two Girls might really start fighting...
This battle was simply terrifying, too terrifying~~
Looking at Zhou Ying's face, which was so cold it seemed to overflow the screen.
Jiang Cheng no longer dared to remain perfectly invisible.
He had a premonition that if he continued to play like this, Zhou Ying's 99 favorability value might directly drop without system control.
Probing must be done step by step.
Jiang Cheng aimed the video at himself and, feigning ignorance, said, "Alright, alright, you two are getting off-topic. What are you even talking about?"
Jiang Cheng's words did not calm Zhu Yan down.
On the contrary, seeing Jiang Cheng clearly favoring Zhou Ying, her expression immediately became somewhat uncontrolled.
One must know, even if she herself had actively thrown herself at Jiang Cheng, she couldn't tolerate being so obviously favored by him at this moment.
What's more, she wasn't entirely without feelings for Jiang Cheng.
At this moment, Zhu Yan's face was filled with incredulity and anger, as if saying, "You actually helped her?"
After glaring angrily at Jiang Cheng, Zhu Yan said nothing, simply turned around and stormed off.
Looking at Zhu Yan's favorability value dropping to 86 points.
Jiang Cheng inwardly exclaimed, "I messed up, I messed up."
Although Zhou Ying was also thoroughly angered by Zhu Yan.
However, seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't react excessively to Zhu Yan's departure.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If there was anything abnormal between them, Jiang Cheng's expression at this moment definitely shouldn't be like this.
Watching Zhu Yan's departing back, Zhou Ying's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, and her eyes welled up with a misty sheen.
She stubbornly turned her head away, feigning composure, but Jiang Cheng caught the hint of grievance in her eyes.
"What? You lost the argument and feel wronged??"
Zhou Ying spun her head back, her reddened eyes full of stubbornness: "Do I look like I lost?" Though her words were firm, her voice trembled slightly.
That's hard to say.
If you didn't lose, why are your eyes a little red??
At this moment, Jiang Cheng felt that anything he said would be inappropriate.
Again, anything he said would make him seem guilty.
Jiang Cheng looked at her reddened eyes, his heart softened, and he softly suggested, "How about I go back tomorrow?"
Just as Jiang Cheng thought, even though he didn't explain.
Precisely because he didn't explain, Zhou Ying's mind wasn't in turmoil.
Again, the women around Jiang Cheng would certainly not disappear.
Whether they were those who actively approached him.
Or those women he met due to work or life reasons.
They would never disappear.
It was impossible to guard against them.
Ultimately, whether anything would happen depended entirely on Jiang Cheng's own attitude and actions.
However, from the current situation, Jiang Cheng was clearly on her side.
He already valued her so much.
Therefore, Zhou Ying naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to make a fuss or throw a tantrum.
She replied, knowing when to stop, "No need, you can come back after you've finished your business. It's not like one day makes a difference. What kind of person you are, don't I trust you??"
As expected, after Zhou Ying said this, a faint sense of guilt immediately arose in Jiang Cheng's heart.
Although Zhou Ying's attitude was very strong during that conversation.
But after Zhu Yan left, her demeanor softened instantly.
Her eyes even turned red.
To be honest, she was still just a Little Girl.
After experiencing family changes at such a young age, she hadn't fallen into depravity.
Even after being with Jiang Cheng, she never slacked off.
She didn't miss a single school activity or competition.
Aside from the time she spent with Jiang Cheng.
She had always been pushing forward with all her might, not wanting to become a parasite relying on him, and Jiang Cheng knew this.
She didn't accept the 1,314,520 he transferred to her during the New Year's Eve celebration.
Coincidentally, she still didn't accept the 1,314,520 he transferred to her again two days ago during the Lunar New Year.
For a woman like this, even the hardest-hearted man.
Would probably be involuntarily attracted to her independence and strength, and then deeply fall in love with her.
Jiang Cheng's tone immediately became even softer: "Zhou Ying, there are many things I won't say, and I don't know how to say them, but I can promise that I will treat you well for all the time you are with me."
This was the first time Jiang Cheng had called her name so solemnly and said these words to her.
It was also the first time he had so frankly expressed his feelings to her.
Zhou Ying felt a warm current surge through her heart.
All her previous grievances and dissatisfaction vanished at this moment.
