Jiang Yuheng was speechless. If she liked him, then she liked him—why did she have to compare herself to a rose with thorns?
He truly didn't understand. Especially with a woman like Ju Zi, what exactly was going on in her head?
"Is your brain still functioning normally? Do you know who you're talking to?" Jiang Yuheng himself found it somewhat unbelievable that he had actually asked such a question.
"I know exactly what I'm saying, and it's the truth. The reason I let you off several times, allowing you to attack me recklessly, was never carelessness. It was because I wanted to."
As she spoke, Ju Zi rose unhurriedly and walked behind Jiang Yuheng.
"To tell you the truth, I not only know what you're thinking, I even understand why you came here. You came to rescue the person in charge's child, so he would completely defect to your side."
"No! More accurately, he already intends to defect, doesn't he?"
Jiang Yuheng did not deny it. If his guess was correct, Ju Zi's hidden sentries should have uncovered more than this.
"How much do you know?" Jiang Yuheng asked unhurriedly.
"A lot. So much that you can't imagine it—so much that even I don't know the full extent of it myself. The degree to which I care about you has exceeded even my own imagination."
"There's nothing I can do. I cherish talented people too much. Your importance to me makes it impossible for me to let you go."
She spoke to herself, completely failing to notice that Jiang Yuheng's expression had grown increasingly cold.
"Shut your mouth. Get out before I lose my temper. Don't say I didn't warn you. The price of telling me you like me is enormous. Do you think you can afford it?"
