That night, after Ye Shengge took a shower, she sat on the bed and continued taking notes. Suddenly, her hands were empty.
Ji Shiting reached out and took away her script.
Ye Shengge looked up and glared at him. âWhat are you doing!â
âThis is the first thing youâve said to me today.â Ji Shiting stared at her with his dark eyes. There was some dissatisfaction in his calm tone.
Ye Shengge blinked and replied indifferently, âSo?â
Ji Shitingâs eyes darkened.
He set the script on the bedside table, then leaned down and wrapped her in his arms, looking down at her.
âStop looking, okay? Rest early today.â His voice was low and hoarse. His dark eyes were deep and filled with temptation.
âSure.â Ye Shengge tilted her head and smiled. âThen let go of me.â
The man did not move. He lowered his head and prepared to kiss her.
Ye Shengge turned her head away and avoided his kiss.
She seemed to take a deep breath and then calmly said, âI donât want it.â
Ji Shitingâs gaze deepened. He stared at her face for a long time without saying anything, but his breathing gradually became heavy.
The man bent his knees and knelt in front of her, his hot body pressed tightly against hers. Ye Shengge gradually felt uncomfortable and pushed him. âDidnât you tell me to rest early?â
âYe Shengge, are you planning to neglect me forever?â the man asked in a deep voice.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI didnât neglect you.â Ye Shengge said calmly, âAs you can see, Iâve been very busy recently.â
âYouâre so busy that you donât even have time to talk to me?â The man raised his eyebrows with a faint smile.
Ye Shengge paused. The bitterness in her heart could not be suppressed.
âI thought that this would make things easier for you.â She stared into his dark eyes and enunciated each word clearly. âI have my own matters to attend to. You donât have to deal with me anymore. Isnât that great? Will you be happy if I throw a tantrum with you every day?â
âBut you canât just ignore me completely.â His Adamâs apple rolled. âYouâre being cold and emotionally abusing me.â
âJi Shiting, there is no middle ground between us.â She suddenly smiled, her eyes slightly red. âEither you can only tolerate my unreasonable behavior, or you can accept the way we are now. You donât want to face the pressure and dissatisfaction I give you but you want to enjoy the warmth between husband and wife⦠There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds.â
Ji Shitingâs pupils constricted and he held her hand subconsciously.
Ye Shengge tried to pull her hand back but to no avail.
The grievance in her heart suddenly exploded without warning.
âWerenât you very happy at first? I finally stopped asking for anything from you, and I stopped throwing a tantrum with you. Arenât you relieved?â She smiled sarcastically. âI can tell⦠but now, youâre not satisfied because you need someone to vent your desires onâ¦â
âYe Shengge!â He interrupted her sternly. âI donât just wantâ¦â
âYes, you donât just want sex. You also need my passion.â Ye Shengge suddenly laughed. âBut my passion will also wither.â
Ji Shiting took a deep breath. He suddenly understood.
Without his reciprocation, her unilateral efforts would not last long.
But he had already tried his best to satisfy her. Could it be that all his hard work could not make up for anything?
âSo, are you going to keep doing this?â the man asked hoarsely.
