âAre you awake?â Ji Shiting asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye Shengge nodded. âAre you done? Why donât I pick up Ah Chen and Qingâer first?â
The man looked at her deeply and suddenly said, âCome here.â
Ye Shengge hesitated for a moment but eventually walked over. Ji Shiting grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Shengge did not struggle. She reached out to hug his waist and buried her face in his chest. Her eyelashes drooped down to hide the obscure emotions in her eyes.
Ji Shitingâs heart skipped a beat.
She seemed to like hugging him like this. She even liked to bury her face in his chest and rub it against him, as if she wanted to use this method to obtain some form of comfort.
Ji Shiting could not help but put his hand on the back of her head and said in a low and hoarse voice, âAre you still angry?â
Ye Shengge paused and looked up at him. âI hate your female assistant. Can you fire her?â
The man did not expect her to make such a request and frowned slightly. âIâve just handed a few projects to her. If I fire her, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to find a suitable replacement in a short period of time. Sun Ye already has enough missions on hand. If he could handle it alone, I wouldnât have hired
Tang Ranran back then.â
âSo, you canât bear to leave her?â Ye Shengge looked at him steadily.
Ji Shitingâs eyes darkened. âI canât bear to lose her as a subordinate. At least she performs well at work. I have no reason to fire her.â
âShe applied to be your assistant, and her target was you. Wasnât there a video of you that was widely circulated online? I guess she only targeted you after watching that video.â Ye Shengge said calmly, âYou canât bear to part with a female assistant with ulterior motives?â
âShengge, I know you are angry that I asked her to pick a gift.â Ji Shiting frowned even more. âBut I donât think she has any ulterior motives. Otherwise, why do you like every gift she picked?â
âSo, you donât believe me?â Ye Shengge smiled, but there was no anger in her voice.
âShengge.â The man softened his tone and tried to comfort her. âWhen Sun Ye comes back, Iâll rearrange their job scope. In the future, Iâll hand over all the tasks that need to be carried out with me in person, over to Sun Ye. Iâll try my best to reduce the chances of being in contact with Tang Ranran.â
Ye Shengge shifted her gaze away and stared blankly at the floor-to-ceiling window not far away. âIn the end, you still donât believe me.â
Ji Shiting exerted strength in his arm and said angrily, âShengge, donât be unreasonable!â
Ye Shengge seemed to find it ridiculous. She stared at him. âDo you think Iâm being unreasonable?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs hard to say if Tang Ranran has ulterior motives, but Su Yao clearly has ulterior motives towards you.â Ji Shiting suddenly laughed coldly. âAs long as you accept the role, you will definitely work with the male actors. However, I wonât ask you to stop filming because of this, be it in the past or now.â
âThis is different!â Her face flushed with anger.
âItâs indeed different.â His dark eyes stared at her, his voice colder. âAt least I wonât let her have a chance to get close to me.â
Ye Shengge widened her eyes in disbelief and clenched her fists tightly.
âYes, I saw that picture.â He gave a hoarse laugh. âI can tell it was an accident, but as long as you interact with him every day, thereâll be enough chances for an accident to happen..â
