"Whether it's boring or not depends on whether he can achieve his goal."
Jiang Chu felt even more annoyed upon hearing Su Ding defending Jin Ye.
Su Ding had no intention of arguing with him. She gave a noncommittal hum, "I'm a bit tired and want to rest."
Jiang Chu heard the coolness in her tone, and his heart ached dully.
"Alright, I'll leave first. You rest well."
He stood up and looked at the small woman huddled under the quilt on the bed. He finally sighed.
As the door closed, Su Ding breathed a sigh of relief.
She closed her eyes, and Jin Ye's image reappeared in her mind.
She was reluctant to admit it when others were around, but now, lying alone in bed, it was hard to deceive herself anymore.
...
At the birthday party, Tang Yiyi came out after changing her clothes.
She saw her ex-boyfriend Yin Bo walking towards her. The admiration in his eyes was blatant. "Yiyi, are you alright just now?"
"I'm fine," Tang Yiyi replied coldly, and was about to leave with Jin Miaomiao.
"How did you suddenly fall into the lake? Did Auntie make you ginger soup?"
Yin Bo consciously walked beside her, showing gentle concern.
But Tang Yiyi was repulsed by such gentleness. "Yin Bo, didn't I make it clear last time? We've broken up!"
"I know, I just wanted to ask how you are. It's your birthday today, guess what gift I brought you?" Yin Bo pretended not to understand Tang Yiyi's coldness and spoke to himself.
How could he not know that Tang Yiyi had no feelings for him? When they were together before, he was just a substitute. But so what?
One day, Yiyi would see his good qualities.
Tang Yiyi was already upset because Jin Ye went to save Su Ding, and now she was being pestered by her ex-boyfriend. She couldn't help but snap, "I don't want to guess. Can you please stay away from me!"
Jin Miaomiao rarely saw Tang Yiyi so agitated and felt a strange sensation.
After all, they were childhood friends, so she stepped in to smooth things over. "Yin Bo, let Yiyi rest for a bit. If you keep nagging in her ear, anyone would get angry."
Seeing Tang Yiyi's displeased expression, Yin Bo opened his mouth but gave up.
"Alright, I'll go. Yiyi, as long as you need me, I'll still wait for you."
With that, he left dejectedly.
He knew very well that it was because Jin Ye was also attending the party today that Yiyi wouldn't spend even a second more with him.
He was very jealous of Jin Ye but also powerless.
Jin Ye was indeed many times better than him. His family background, looks, and demeanor were all incomparable to his...
"Wait a moment!"
Tang Yiyi suddenly called out to him.
Yin Bo turned around with surprise and rushed forward. "Yiyi, what is it?"
Jin Miaomiao also looked at Tang Yiyi curiously.
"Yin Bo, I want you to help me get rid of Su Ding, no matter what it takes."
Tang Yiyi said coldly, her eyes seemingly filled with frost, her entire face taut.
Jin Miaomiao's eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "Yin Bo, if you can get rid of Su Ding, you'll be doing us a great favor."
"Get rid of Su Ding..." Yin Bo frowned in surprise.
He had heard of this name, but he couldn't recall who she was.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Jin Miaomiao explained, "It's my cousin's ex-wife, Su Ding. You can search for her online."
Yin Bo then remembered and pursed his lips. "They came back together..."
Seeing Yin Bo's expression, Tang Yiyi immediately interrupted his thoughts and said directly, "They've already broken up. She keeps bothering Jin Ye. I want you to get rid of her!"
Yin Bo seemed conflicted, but then he heard Tang Yiyi say, "Don't you like me? You're not even willing to help with this little thing? If you don't help, then don't expect to see me again."
Saying that, she pulled Jin Miaomiao and left. "Miaomiao, let's go!"
"Mm-hmm," Jin Miaomiao followed Tang Yiyi, glancing back at Yin Bo, silently counting "three, two, one..."
"Okay, I promise you."
Yin Bo finally agreed. After Tang Yiyi and the others left, he fell into thought.
He liked Yiyi, but he also understood clearly.
He certainly understood what this matter entailed. Getting rid of Su Ding was about bringing Yiyi and Jin Ye back together.
He was not a fool.
As long as he could reconcile Jin Ye and Su Ding, wouldn't Yiyi return to him again?
...
For the next two days, Su Ding stayed at home recuperating.
She had expected Jin Ye to come looking for trouble, but the reality proved her thoughts to be overthinking.
Late at night, she fell asleep after taking her cold medicine.
At this moment, a figure quietly slipped into her bedroom, picked the lock, and approached her bed.
Su Ding was drowsy and completely unaware.
She turned over in a daze, and suddenly something covered her nose and mouth. A suffocating sensation made her struggle fiercely. "Who!"
She widened her eyes. In the dark room, she could only see a massive shadow pressing down on her.
She struggled with all her might, kicking the person hard in the abdomen, but she couldn't budge him. Instead, her consciousness began to fade.
Su Ding fainted completely, her resisting arms falling powerlessly onto the bed.
The dark figure stared at the woman on the bed and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm just sending you to see your ex-husband..."
He picked up Su Ding and quietly left the room.
Just as he was about to stuff her into the car, his keen senses made him realize that there seemed to be people around.
He cautiously looked around, only seeing grass being blown by the wind.
Perhaps he was too nervous.
Who would be up and about at this late hour?
He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the sleeping woman in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away quickly.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the Jin residence.
He carried Su Ding on his back and carefully climbed over the low wall in the backyard!
Fortunately, there were no security guards here.
He was quite familiar with the layout of the Jin residence. He used to pester Yiyi and play at Jin Miaomiao's house.
After confirming the location of Jin Ye's bedroom,
He moved a pre-hidden ladder from the corner, climbed up stealthily, and jumped onto the balcony.
He crouched in the darkness, observing the activity in the room.
Su Ding was tied to his back with a rope. His strength was enough to carry an adult man over a wall.
He carefully watched the bedroom. The light was on, but there was no one there.
It was almost two in the morning, what was Jin Ye doing instead of sleeping?
He wondered to himself, but it was convenient for his plan.
He placed Su Ding on the bed, covered her with a quilt. Her face had already started to flush.
"Tsk, the medicine is just starting to take effect. Fortunately, I came quickly."
He took one last look at Su Ding, carefully stepped onto the balcony, and leaped down nimbly.
He also took the ladder with him.
After finishing his company documents, Jin Ye returned to his bedroom to take a shower.
In the bathroom, the gushing sound of water masked the woman's uncomfortable moans and movements on the bed outside...
After showering, he pushed the door open.
Under the dim night light, a naked, sexy woman lay on the bed. Her skin was dazzlingly white, her pajamas half-hanging on her alluring body, and she was squirming uncomfortably.
Her slightly curly flaxen hair barely covered her face.
"Mmm... so hot..."
Her voice was sweet and soft, particularly seductive and alluring in the dead of night.
Jin Ye paused, and the moment he saw her, he quickly turned away, but then quickly realized something was wrong and turned back.
At this moment, her long hair was messily pushed aside, revealing a familiar, pretty face...
"Su Ding!"
