Chase Jiang's words, "Eloping with Ethan Su," exploded like thunder in Maggie Jiang's ears.
"Eloping with Ethan Su? You translate this for me—what's supposed to be the surprise here? Is this really not a shock?" Maggie Jiang felt her scalp go numb, and goosebumps prickled all over her body.
Though she knew that Chase Jiang was probably joking, this guy often had wild ideas and did jaw-dropping things. Who could guarantee that this time wasn't for real? Moreover, with Chase Jiang's family background and connections, organizing an elopement wouldn't be difficult.
"Is this what you mean by a surprise?" Maggie Jiang tried to keep calm, attempting to find a flaw in Chase Jiang's expression. "You're not hiding something from me, are you?" Meanwhile, she silently prayed in her heart: Young master, please don't say yes! My little heart can't handle this kind of shock…
Chase Jiang covered his mouth, laughing so hard he nearly fell over. "What can I do? At most, I'll cheer you on and give you a boost! Happiness has to be earned by yourself. You'd better work hard!" As he spoke, he made a cheering gesture, looking quite serious.
"Ah, I thought you had some brilliant idea. This joke is not funny at all." Maggie Jiang shook her head in apparent disappointment, but inside, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.
In fact, Maggie Jiang had been feeling very complicated recently. After learning that the Su family had decided to marry Bella Yang off, she both felt relieved and vaguely worried. Luckily, the main plotline hadn't collapsed, and Bella Yang still entered the Su family as planned, which allowed her role as the antagonist to continue progressing. This eased her tense nerves. After all, no one knew what the consequences of failing the task would be—at best, a redo; at worst, losing her life. She didn't want to experience that kind of fear firsthand.
However, what worried her was that, compared to the original plot, things were still deviating. Bella Yang hadn't formally married Ethan Su; the engagement was still only a promise, and not even an official betrothal. Though she'd entered the Su family, she had no official status, and the future was full of uncertainties. Because of this, Maggie Jiang couldn't fully relax and remained on alert for any unexpected events, just like Chase Jiang's sudden "surprise." Chase Jiang was always skilled at tormenting her, always giving her "surprises" at the least expected times, never disappointing her.
The sound of a car engine came from afar, and Maggie Jiang sensed that trouble was approaching. She hurriedly pulled Chase Jiang to another spot. "If you're so keen on watching the drama, let's go over there. I don't want to see Bella Yang getting all smug, acting like she's won!"
"Okay!" Chase Jiang nodded obediently, following behind Maggie Jiang. Looking at her straight back, Chase Jiang's lips curled into a gentle smile. [This surprise, you should be happy with, right?] Chase Jiang could hear Maggie Jiang's thoughts, knowing that she most wanted to see Bella Yang enter the Su family and maintain the plot's trajectory. Now that Bella Yang had arrived, Maggie Jiang should be happy, right? Thinking about this, Chase Jiang's cheeks flushed, and he couldn't understand why, when Maggie Jiang wasn't happy at the Jiang family, he felt compelled to cheer her up.
However, Chase Jiang wasn't going to let Maggie Jiang off so easily. "I heard that the Su family doesn't plan to let Ethan Su marry Bella Yang."
"And then?" Maggie Jiang looked at him with confusion. [It doesn't matter, as long as she's in the Su family, I'm fine. After I finish my task, she can drop dead for all I care.]
"And then…" Chase Jiang mischievously winked. "You still have a big chance!"
Maggie Jiang: "……" [Exhausted.]
"I'll tell you another secret." Chase Jiang leaned in mysteriously. "Bella Yang is going to live in the Su family's annex! Do you know what the annex is for?"
"For what?" Maggie Jiang yawned, looking uninterested.
"It's where the servants and cleaners live!" Chase Jiang said with mockery, "Tsk, Bella Yang really isn't ashamed."
Maggie Jiang smiled and nodded. "Her bottom line really isn't high. But you never know, maybe she's bearing the humiliation, waiting for her time? I have to admit, she's really putting in effort for Ethan Su."
Chase Jiang's face instantly filled with disgust. "Ugh, so gross! Bearing humiliation? I think she's just shameless! If Ethan Su can really fall for her, then he must be blind!"
Maggie Jiang looked at him with a strange expression: [Big brother doesn't talk about second brother. You were also one of the male leads in the original plot, right? Now your character's completely collapsed, and you're all riled up. Tsk, I really don't know how Bella Yang managed it in the original plot. Did she force the protagonist halo?]
Chase Jiang, hearing this inner thought, was instantly furious. Though he believed Maggie Jiang was a time traveler, he could never accept the idea of becoming part of Bella Yang's harem! To him, it was absolutely absurd!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Chase Jiang reached out and pinched Maggie Jiang's waist hard.
"Hiss... What's that for? You're so random!" Maggie Jiang gasped, taken aback.
"Who told you to look at me like that!" Chase Jiang angrily pointed at her.
"When did I look at you like that?" [Has he lost his mind again?! This is so exhausting! When will he leave?]
