Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Jiang Li and Qin Jue both fell silent, and the room was silent for a while.

Do you want to believe Qin Jue?

This question only lingered in her mind for a moment, and soon her expression became relaxed.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, and the truth doesn't matter either. What matters is...whether she wants to believe it or not.

Jiang Li's previous life lasted just over twenty years, and he used the first ten years to vividly interpret what he could not achieve.

Later she realized that if you can't ask for something, you don't have to ask for it.

So in the days to come, she was always accustomed to holding the decision-making power in her own hands. She had the final say whether others should stay or leave.

She was used to invasion, possession, and control. She was used to being frightened but not daring to resist when others looked at her.

And Qin Jue... No matter what his reasons were for rejecting Meng Wanwan in the main hall, he was indeed the first person to actively and firmly choose to go to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at the hideous wounds on Qin Jue's face and smiled softly.

"Okay, I believe your explanation."

Her answer was so straightforward that Qin Jue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at her with some disbelief and...a trace of doubt.

It was so satisfying, and since it wasn't the first time, Qin Jue certainly had reason to suspect that she was fooling him again.

Thinking of this, Qin Jue's expression dimmed again, "Isn't it enough to lie to me once?"

“One time at a time, your trust is worthless.”

Jiang Li was not angry when he was told this, but still smiled, "You should believe me. After all, if I don't believe you, then I will definitely kill you."

Qin Jue: "..."

This was the first time he saw someone say such terrible words with such a relaxed smile.

He sighed softly, "You said the opposite. The imperial edict says that I can do whatever I want with you."

Jiang Li lazily leaned back in his chair, "It's just a polite word. You don't think the emperor will really let you kill me, do you?"

"The punishment you can give me can only be innocuous to me."

"So this so-called punishment has no meaning at all. The emperor is asking you to sell me a favor."

Jiang Li could always see the essence of the matter sharply. Qin Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Extreme wisdom must be damaged. A smart person like you must have a very tiring life, right?"

She can see through all the hypocrisy and conspiracies. Would someone like her have any friends?

Qin Jue was sighing casually, but Jiang Li suddenly stopped and the smile on his face faded a bit.

She looked at Qin Jue with a half-smile and said, "You lived so stupidly before, but I never saw you tired."

Qin Jue: "..."

He was suddenly speechless.

Because he discovered that he had planned a plan, and the cruel trick in the end didn't seem to make Jiang Li feel any guilt towards him... He was really a cold-blooded animal.

Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Li suddenly stood up and walked towards him. When he stood up in surprise, he pressed his shoulder and pushed him back to the chair.

She looked calm and said only two words, "Don't move."

As he spoke, those cold fingertips touched his cheek.

The wound has healed and scabbed, but it still feels a little itchy and painful when touched.

When her fingertips touched him, he subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, and then she held his chin with her other hand and pulled him back.

"Why, you just said how deeply you love me, but now you can't even touch me?"

Qin Jue moved his eyes and raised his eyes to stare at her, "The clay figurine still has a bad temper. You don't believe me and you made my face look like this. I still have to listen to your words?"

It was rare that Jiang Li felt so slightly guilty.

But the way she felt guilty was very different. She suddenly sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and raised her chin slightly, looking extremely arrogant.

"So? You regret choosing me now?"

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Qin Jue's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes fell uncontrollably on her bright face.

His eyes dimmed instantly, and the hand around her subconsciously tightened slightly.

Her thin lips were pursed very straight, looking restrained and forbearing, which made people... couldn't help but want to bully her.

After thinking this way, Jiang Li did the same.

She used her hands to move closer to Qin Jue. He subconsciously raised his head to avoid her approach.

So Jiang Li bit directly on his Adam's apple, biting slightly with his teeth. The force was not strong, but it was very abrasive.

For a moment, Qin Jue felt that the blood all over his body was rising, his face was getting hot uncontrollably, and his body seemed to be feeling faintly hot.

"you……"

This opening sounded like he was humming, causing Qin Jue to shut his mouth fiercely.

But of course Jiang Li heard it clearly and couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.

"I find that you are always cuter than usual when you do this kind of thing."

So, she suddenly understood why some men would not recognize each other after getting out of bed.

For some people, he may really only look cute in bed... No wonder others are so ruthless.

Jiang Li's repeated teasing finally angered Qin Jue.

Just as Jiang Li was about to get up, he suddenly held her waist with one hand and held her firmly in his arms.

Jiang Li raised his head in surprise and met Qin Jue's dark eyes.

There was no shame on his face at this time, but he was very serious. He said, "...I have wanted to ask you since you walked in."

"You've always said you like my face, but now...my face has become like this, do you still like it?"

He asked her seriously at this time, but his eyes were a little evasive and he didn't dare to look into her eyes, as if... he was afraid of hearing her answer.

Jiang Li's heartstrings seemed to be struck hard.

She wasn't moved by Qin Jue, she even knew that he was probably pretending.

She just... seemed to see the younger version of herself.

He timidly wants to be loved by others, but is afraid that the answer he will get is completely opposite to his expectation.

She looked at Qin Jue and smiled softly, "This wound... indeed ruined a beautiful face."

With one word, Qin Jue's expression instantly stiffened.

However, the next moment, her hand caressed his cheek, carefully avoiding the wound and not hurting him.

"It's just...since it's my fault, then I can't just give up, right?"

Qin Jue was startled, and hope seemed to rekindle in his eyes.

Jiang Li stood up and sat back on the chair opposite. When he looked up, Qin Jue was still looking at her eagerly, as if waiting for her to finish her words.

She raised her eyebrows, "Didn't I say that the clay figurine still had a temper? Why is it gone now?"

Qin Jue was not embarrassed and just lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Because I only have you now. If even you dislike me and don't want me, then I..."

"Qin Jue." Jiang Li interrupted him, "Let's just forget about the past."

"I will think of a way to deal with your face, and then... I will ask the emperor to issue a decree for marriage as soon as possible."
